Zuo Ci's expression hardened, and he shouted, "Since the Prime Minister does not believe me, I shall take my leave!"
After saying that, he turned and ran out of the courtyard!
"Where do you think you're going!" Xu Chu gave chase.
But when he slashed at Zuo Ci, he vanished into thin air!
"Where is he?" Xu Chu asked in astonishment.
"Here I am, General Xu!"
Xu Chu heard Zuo Ci's indifferent voice from behind him. He hurriedly turned around and found Zuo Ci standing at the door, staring at him with a smile.
"You sorcerer, you dare to play tricks!"
Xu Chu raised his broadsword and slashed fiercely, creating a whistling wind.
The broadsword fell heavily, piercing through Zuo Ci's body as if it had struck thin air.
Zuo Ci has disappeared once again!!!
Xu Chu's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat instantly poured down his forehead!
What's going on?
What exactly is this sorcerer?
Why is it that every time he attacks, it feels like the air ripples outwards, but when he actually attacks, he misses completely?
This is so weird!!!
Xu Chu panicked and was terrified. He quickly retreated and said respectfully, "My lord, be careful! This sorcerer is evil!"
Cao Cao nodded, his gaze fixed on the direction where Zuo Ci had disappeared, his expression extremely solemn.
Zuo Ci's actions just now had put Cao Cao on his guard to the extreme.
Although he did not believe in any art of immortality, he knew that there must be some things in the world that transcended common sense.
However, this Taoist priest named Zuo Ci was clearly targeting Lu Li.
What exactly does Zuo Ci want to do?
Was Zuo Ci a friend or foe?
Although Lu Li was someone Cao Cao greatly feared, he also respected him. As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes, and Cao Cao was unwilling to harm Lu Li.
But the current situation seems to have left him with no choice.
"Prime Minister!"
Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the door.
Cao Cao looked up and saw Xun Yu walk in, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wenruo, what happened?" Cao Cao hurriedly went to greet him.
Xun Yu's face was extremely gloomy. He whispered, "Prime Minister, news has come from Jiangdong that Sun Ce's attack on Nanyang failed and he died. Sun Quan has taken over as the ruler of Jiangdong!"
"Oh? Sun Ce is dead?"
Cao Cao said, full of disbelief.
Sun Ce was a ninth-level martial artist, and he had many experts around him, so how could he be dead?
"Yes, Prime Minister, Sun Ce was too arrogant. He dared to attack Nanyang with only three thousand men, and as a result, he fell into an ambush," Xun Yu said, shaking his head.
Cao Cao sighed softly and said, "Alas, what a pity for Sun Ce..."
Sun Ce was even better than Sun Jian back then. Cao Cao once said, "A son should be like Sun Bofu!"
Unexpectedly, Sun Bofu is now dead.
"What kind of person is Sun Quan?" Cao Cao asked.
After thinking for a moment, Xun Yu replied, "I have heard of this Sun Quan before. He has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood, well-read in poetry and books, and has traveled all over the world."
After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan adopted Zhou Yu's advice and began to subdue the various counties of Yangzhou, intending to conquer Yangzhou.
Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he said, "This Sun Quan is quite clever, but it won't be easy for him to take over the entire Yangzhou."
Xun Yu frowned slightly and asked, "Prime Minister, what are you planning to do this time?"
Cao Cao said, "Wenruo, this Sun Quan may become a formidable enemy of ours!"
"Hmm? Why does the Prime Minister say that?"
Xun Yu didn't understand; Sun Quan still hadn't seen anything extraordinary about him.
To everyone's surprise, Cao Cao said meaningfully, "As the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court."
"The fact that Sun Quan was able to delegate power to Zhou Yu after becoming the ruler of Jiangdong demonstrates the extraordinary nature of this man!"
The relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce was like that of brothers. It could be said that when Sun Ce was alive, Zhou Yu was practically the ruler of Jiangdong.
Moreover, in the Jiangdong army, everyone was completely subservient to Zhou Yu. Even Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao followed Zhou Yu's lead, which is enough to show just how much prestige he had.
For a ruler, the most taboo thing is for someone to become too powerful and overshadow him, especially for a newly enthroned ruler.
But Sun Quan still dared to appoint Zhou Yu. In Cao Cao's eyes, Sun Quan was even more terrifying than his father and brothers!
"Prime Minister, then what do you mean?" Xun Yu asked Cao Cao with a puzzled look.
Cao Cao's eyes gleamed with wisdom as he slowly said, "We must take down Yuan Shao as soon as possible, otherwise, once Sun Quan secures his position as the ruler of Jiangdong, our troubles will be even greater!"
Xun Yu nodded in deep agreement, then said, "But our greatest enemy now is the Yellow Turban Army!"
Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Wenruo, I have my own arrangements for this matter."
Meanwhile, Lu Li returned to Bingzhou once again.
At this time, through the joint efforts of the two great physicians, a formula for treating the plague was finally developed.
Moreover, Zhang Zhongjing even found the source of the plague.
They named the plague Blood Corpse Disease.
It can cause corpses to turn bluish-purple, because the shape of livor mortis resembles that of someone burned. Over time, it has become a highly contagious disease.
Zhang Zhongjing handed a prescription to Lu Li and said, "Mr. Lu, I have accomplished my mission. This is a prescription for treating the plague. Please give the order to have the medicine prepared immediately according to the prescription!"
Lu Li nodded and said, "Okay, thank you both, great doctors!"
Zhang Zhongjing and Dong Feng both shook their heads and said, "Mr. Lu, you are too kind. Saving lives is our duty."
