My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 125 Hua Tuo's Surrender
But to Lu Yi's surprise, Hua Tuo was obviously unable to resist his smooth little combo, and actually took the initiative to agree to Lu Yi's request and was willing to stay in Jiuyuan Pavilion.

"Captain Lu is sincere to me, and I am grateful to him. I am willing to serve under him for ten years!"

Hua Tuo looked grateful and bowed solemnly to Lu Yishen.

He did not change his ambition, so he set a deadline for leaving as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hua Tuo was now in his prime and could still afford to spend ten years. Moreover, these ten years would not be wasted. He could use them to teach students and study surgery.

In ten years, he will be only forty years old. I believe that his medical skills and understanding of surgery will reach a higher level by then.

"Oh! It is a great fortune for the thousands of people in Jiuyuan to have Mr. Hua join us! I, Lu, only represent the thousands of people in Jiuyuan. Please accept my greeting, Mr. Hua!"

Lu Yi did his best to act. Not only did he hold Hua Tuo back, he also treated him with the highest courtesy, which touched Hua Tuo's heart. He secretly vowed that he would never let Lu Yi down. He must work hard to study surgery and teach his students attentively, so as to pass on his medical skills and cultivate some medical talents for Lu Yi.

Although Lu Yi failed to succeed in subduing Hua Tuo, he still obtained his oath of ten years of loyalty, and he was already satisfied with that.

There is a saying that goes, there is no happiness without comparison.

After all, this is much better than Cao Cao's situation.

Lu Yi immediately ordered to add a medical clinic to the construction of Luwu, and to give priority to its construction after new funds arrive next month.

Afterwards, Lu Yi personally wanted to arrange a house for Hua Tuo and arrange servants to serve him, but Hua Tuo politely refused.

"I appreciate Mr. Lu's kindness, but there are still some patients in Pei State who need my treatment. In addition, the medicinal materials and some instruments at home also need to be transported to Jiuyuan. Therefore, I need to go back to Pei State first, and the round trip will take two months!"

"Two months? It's late July now, so we can return in late September. It won't be winter yet, so it's still safe..."

After hearing this, Lu Yi thought about it and immediately agreed to Hua Tuo's request. He also selected a hundred old friends from his own guards to follow Hua Tuo throughout the journey and obey his orders at any time.

Although Lu Yi's move had a subtle meaning of surveillance, Hua Tuo was still deeply moved and did not care at all.

Although he has a little reputation, he is respected.

But others came to him for help because of injuries and only wanted to cure their illnesses. They could not do what Lu Yi did, regardless of the cost and respecting the wise and humble.

Lu Yi personally went out of Jiuyuan to see him off for five miles.

After seeing Hua Tuo off, Lu Yi estimated the time and thought that the caravan should be returning soon. So he told Zhang Jia about the things that needed attention, and then went to Mayi with Gao Shun and other cadres and the replacement servants.

It was already the end of July when Lu Yi led his troops to Zhang's Fort in Mayi.

For some unknown reason, the caravan was delayed for a few days this time.

After the caravan arrived, Lu Yi learned that it was Cheng Lian who brought Qiqige from the grassland. In order to protect his sister-in-law, Cheng Lian stopped his business and was on guard at the slightest sign of trouble, so they were a few days late.

Moreover, along with Qiqige came five hundred strong horses, which was needless to say another valuable gift from his father-in-law Hexutuo as a precaution.

When Lu Yi saw these 500 healthy and beautiful gifts, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.

His finances were now on the verge of collapse, and he didn't even have the money to build the medical society he had promised Hua Tuo. The second gift of 500 healthy horses from his father-in-law was like a timely help to him.

The caravan also brought back 800 healthy horses, minus the 100 given to Huang Yi, totaling 700 horses.

The total amount was 1,200 strong horses, of which Lü Yi owned 1,000 horses, which could be sold for nearly 30 million yuan. With this huge sum of money, Lü Yi's financial pressure was suddenly relieved.

Not only can you purchase construction materials immediately, you can also complete the construction of the medical clinic, the family mansion, and the simple house.

It will also provide a lot of money to buy food.

If the Xianbei people really invaded this year and wreaked havoc in Bingzhou as Lu Yi predicted.

Even if Lu Yi survived the day when the imperial army defeated the Xianbei, the Xianbei would then retreat from the Great Wall and return to the outside of the Great Wall. Bingzhou would be devastated and all industries would be in ruins after being ravaged by the Xianbei and Han army.

Among them, food prices are the hardest hit, and the prices will be so high that they are outrageous.

The passing of bandits is like a comb, and the passing of soldiers is like a grate.

Sometimes, the harm and threat posed by one's own army to the people and the local area are even greater than those posed by bandits and foreigners.

At that time, many large families that have stored grain will also take action, drive up grain prices and reap huge profits.

And those people who had no food at home had to buy these expensive grains even if they had to borrow money.

You can do without everything else temporarily, but you can’t not eat, right?

Therefore, after Lu Yi planned to save enough money to improve Luwu, he would use the remaining money to buy a large amount of grain that had not been affected during the autumn harvest in August.

To this end, he had made arrangements in advance and reached an agreement with the Zhongshan Zhen family.

Be fully prepared.

"Husband..." Qiqige was very excited when she saw Lu Yi. She hadn't seen her beloved husband for several months.

What was beyond Lu Yi's expectation was that Qiqige, in order to stay in the Han area and live with her husband forever, actually taught herself some Chinese. As soon as they met, she called her husband in slightly awkward Chinese.

"When did you learn Chinese?" Lu Yi asked in surprise after hugging Qiqige in his arms.

"Hehe, I've only learned a little bit, and I'm not familiar with it yet..." Qiqige didn't know whether it was because she left the wild grassland and came to the unfamiliar Han land that she seemed a little restrained and shy.

"Well, if you don't want to learn, no one can force you to learn Chinese and change your own customs in your husband's territory." Seeing this, Lu Yi smiled slightly and said domineeringly.

"That won't work! You have to learn it!"

"Otherwise, I will lose...my husband's face."

Although Qiqige spoke in a stiff and awkward manner, she still looked serious. Lu Yi, who hadn't whispered in a long time, suddenly had the urge to have a good talk, but business was more important.

After Lu Yi watched Zhang handle all the affairs of the caravan step by step, and the caravan guys were properly settled by Lu Yi to eat, drink and rest, he pulled up Qiqige who had been following him like a little tail.

"Haha, let me take you to meet your sister Wan'er first. Did Cheng Lian tell you that your husband is about to have a child? You are my woman, and my offspring will also be your child!"
