At the time of the year, the sound of the chucking clapper came from outside, far and near, there were still some lights in the backyard of the government office. The night wind whimpered and ran under the eaves. There was a wooden spoon in front of the bed in the room. Occasionally, there was a slight movement by the bowl. Gongsun Zhi put down the empty bowl with only the medicine residue and was holding the sour Ru up. The lamp posts on several tables were shaking by the wind that squeezed in.

"...When will the leader come back?"

"Li Ru wrote to me, saying that you are so sick that you are back."

"What's going on in Yuzhou?"

"From today, you will temporarily hand over your position to Li Wenyou. Be at ease in the mansion to recuperate well and don't worry about these things. The stall will be bigger in the future. Without a good body, who will keep this foundation for me? I'm not at ease with others!"

"...You can go high and promote." The scholar smiled slightly and his pale lips stuttered. "I just don't have much ability. The leader should know... he has done his best now."

Gongsun Zhi, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, pursed his lips and nodded: "I know...I know..."

"Li Jijiu... has a good knowledge... was once the leading figure in Xiliang... In the future, the leader will not worry about not being able to find someone to serve me. The leader... should also believe Jijiu... He is already a rootless duckweed..."

"Don't think too much..." Gongsun Zhi raised his hand to interrupt his next words, and his voice suddenly rose: "Who allows you to arrange your affairs behind you! I have found the best doctor in the world to come to Beidi. Now on the way, you must insist on him coming."

The scholar leaning against the bedside coughed a few times and nodded silently. With a puff sound, the moth slammed its wings and hit the lamppost from time to time. The room fell into silence. After a while, Gongsun Zhi patted the back of the scholar's hand and stood up: "...You have a rest, I'm going to go back to sleep. I've been traveling for a few days, but I haven't closed my eyes yet. I'll come again after dawn."

The thin and inhuman scholar sat there watching his back leave, and tears fell again.

"Sacrifice... Please come out and see you." Not long after the door closed, his words were weak and low, but his red eyes calmed a lot. When a figure turned out from behind the screen in the room, he stared at the bean-sized lights and whispered: "There is a person named Sima Yi in the team that the leader has returned. His family is killed by the leader. You should have heard of it... Now the leader is walking step by step, with few setbacks, and his heart becomes too confident and blind, and now he is going to use him again... This northern land is where everyone has worked hard to settle down, and he doesn't want to have ulterior motives... Here..." His eyes raised and turned to the figure who walked out, "Can you help me?"

His words were sincere. Li Ru approached, nodded, and sat down with a sigh: "What about you? Along the way, we have settled the people of Heishan Mountain and planned every grass and tree, each person and a livestock in Shanggu County. It has been a lot of effort. Now this place is prosperous, but you are in a broken body. Is everything you have done? Is it worth it?"

"......It's worth it to die for the confidant!"

The two eyes looked at each other, one was calm and the other was admiration. The lanterns outside the house were swaying in the wind. The figure who walked out of the backyard of the government office took the fur clothes handed over by Li Ke. When he arrived outside the yard, a carriage was parked there, and the familiar figure stood not far away with the child holding the child. The light of the lantern in front of the palace was shining on her. When he heard the footsteps, he hurriedly turned around. The child in his arms called out, "Dad...Dad..." and opened his hand and struggled to go down to the ground.

"I don't want my mother when I see my dad." Cai Yan looked at his husband who was stroking. He had not seen him for half a year. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes were warm, and there was an unconscious smile on his face. He was already walking very steadily. He trotted up the steps and was suddenly picked up by a pair of big hands. He screamed twice in panic. Then his bright eyes saw that it was his father's face. He blinked a few times, and quickly put it on, rubbing affectionately on Gongsun Zhi's rough skin.

"Dad...Dad...bearded with a stubborn face..."

Gongsun Zhi pinched his son's little face and didn't have to tighten his face in front of his generals. In this way, the father and son were intimate for a while before he walked down the stone steps and looked at his wife: "I'm here first when I come back, I won't say anything to you."

"This is what it should be. Dongfang is working hard for his husband's foundation, and I feel heartbroken in my eyes." Cai Yan naturally snuggled beside her husband and walked towards the carriage together, "...... Even if he had looked for several famous doctors in the county, there was no way, and he even asked someone to go to Jizhou to find it."

"Yeah, I know."

Gongsun Zhi held Zheng'er in one hand and his wife in the other hand, but he did not get on the carriage. Instead, the family of three walked slowly towards the direction of the family, "... But when he came back, Zixie brought an old man with great medical skills, who might be able to cure the Sorcerer's disease. Don't worry, although the scholar was weak, he was still a strong person. He had experienced so many things along the way, but he did not knock him down, and he had some illnesses..."

"Husband, I feel very guilty." Cai Yan leaned on his shoulder and looked at the road ahead.

"...Yes." Gongsun Zhi put down the little man who was struggling in his arms, watched him running happily in front of him, and then said, "I feel guilty... I can only make up for it like this, and I owe many people."

Cai Yan held her husband's hand tightly and said softly: "...Husband, I still have some words to say, life and death are fate, these are arranged by God. Even if the husband feels guilty and wants to compensate, it is much better than most people. If the Sour Ru did not meet you and did not stand on the same front with her husband, he might have been gone long ago. Dongfang must have had this idea in his heart..."

Gongsun Zhi closed his eyes and let his wife hold his hands, feeling the warmth brought by the smooth palm. The night wind blew across the long street, and behind him the sound of teams of guards and wolf riding footsteps.

a long time.

"That's just if after all." Gongsun Zhi said dry throat, and tried hard to squeeze out a smile on his face, and he clenched Cai Yan's hand in reverse, "...... You should do your best in everything, I don't want to leave any regrets."

The lanterns on both sides of the street eaves shone on the ground and left.

************

Repeated day and night, light gradually shone in the east and pierced through the clouds. Several fast horses also entered the city quickly when the sky was bright. The old man tied up on his strong body could not move, and his eyes were closed as if he was asleep. Soon after, the skylight shone across the city, and several riders walked directly across the street to the largest mansion in the city.

In the early morning, the man beside the woman who woke up had already gotten up and dressed in neat clothes and walked out. She put down her bare feet and put on her shoes. She went over to see the child who was still sleeping, yawned, and began to wash under the maid's service. The figure outside the house passed through the corridor to the study, and the servant came to bring the soup.

A moment later, Li Ke brought an old man in.

"The grass-crowd has seen the governor." The old man who came in, fifty-one and two, was tied up by Han Long and was on his back and rushed here for a long distance. He was not very energetic, but in terms of physical strength, the old man was much better than ordinary people. Perhaps because of his journey around the country and going up the mountain to collect herbs, he didn't look much tired at this time.

Behind the front desk, Gongsun Zhigang took a sip, looked up at Hua Tuo, and looked at him for a while. He naturally knew the other party's name in later generations, and his voice was plain: "No need to bow, please come to the north at this moment. I guess you already know."

The old man who put down his hand nodded, "I knew when I came. Since the patient's condition is critical, it's not too late. Let's take me there now."

"good……"

The hand pressed on the table, the blue veins swelled up and clenched into a fist: "...... It must be cured. If it cannot be cured, the head will fall to the ground."
