The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 31 Hua Tuo's Distress
After Liu Chan returned to Jiangling City, he was not as lucky as the last time he went out with Zhang Fei to suppress the bandits privately. Zhuge Liang gave him a harsh reprimand, telling him to continue to go to school, and the rest of the time to be in confinement. The time is one month. .Liu Chan accepted it calmly, which was a much lighter punishment than he had previously guessed.

Moreover, Liu Chan did not feel lonely because of the confinement, because after this incident, all the officials in Jingzhou, perhaps realizing that they cared too little for Liu Chan before, began to visit him one after another.

Zhang Fei, in particular, would come every two days and bring pastries made by Aunt Xiahou.Zhao Yun often finds time to come here.To Liu Chan's surprise, although Guan Yu was not in Jiangling City, he actually wrote a letter to Liu Chan to express his greetings.This made Liu Chan excited for several days.

However, Mr. Ma Liang is the best, and Liu Chan is also the favorite, and he comes to visit almost every day.His knowledge is excellent, and Liu Chan asked him for various questions in the book, and he was often able to get good answers.Sometimes, Liu Chan's questions are so weird that Mr. Ma Liang can't answer them for a while, but after a while, he can often bring the answers.

Sometimes, Liu Chan would take out Aunt Xiahou's cakes and ask Mr. Ma Liang to taste them.Mr. Ma Liang never knew how to be polite, let alone delay. Sometimes he would ask Liu Chan to bring him some snacks when he was in a good mood.Because he knew that Liu Chan's house might lack a lot of things, but there was never a shortage of snacks.This bold temperament is also one of the reasons why Liu Chan likes him.

It wasn't until a long time later that Liu Chan found out that the reason why Mr. Ma Liang was able to solve the problem the next day was because he went to seek advice from Zhuge Junshi. Zhuge Junshi always spared no effort to help and asked Ma Liang not to tell the story.Liu Chan couldn't help being extremely moved.

After half a month of happiness like this, Han Long sent someone to send a letter to Liu Chan. In addition to greetings, there was also a piece of good news: Hua Tuo had set off from Zhangjiaji two days ago and was expected to leave tomorrow. It will arrive at Gangneung City.

This made Liu Chan very happy.During the time he returned to Jiangling City, he had already made a long-term plan for Hua Tuo's future.This time, he must keep Hua Tuo by his side and not let him go to the north, otherwise Cao Cao will definitely kill him.

Liu Chan started by choosing two gifts and asked the messenger to take them back to Han Long and Zhang Fangping.Then, he sent people out of the city to inquire about Hua Tuo's whereabouts, and finally went to Mr. Zhang Xing excitedly to ask for leave.

The scouting report came soon, that Mr. Hua Tuo and Wu Pu had already traveled thirty miles outside the city, and they were expected to arrive in Jiangling City tomorrow.Thinking of Hua Tuo being able to visit him, Liu Chan was so excited that he couldn't sleep that night.

The next morning, the sun rose early, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, the weather was really good, and people's mood also improved accordingly.

Liu Chan got up early, and in order to show respect to Mr. Hua, he ordered Aunt Lan to prepare hot water for him, and he wanted to take a bath to welcome guests.

After taking a bath, Liu Chan asked Aunt Lan to comb her hair, put on a crisp white dress, and then stepped out of the gate, took the carriage Han Long sent, and came to the gate of the city to meet Mr. Hua Tuo.

But Liu Chan forgot that Hua Tuo always walks, so his footsteps are not fast, and he has been missing for a long time.

Later, Liu Chan felt a little uneasy, and sent several silver-armored guards to set off from various directions in succession to inquire about Hua Tuo's whereabouts.

An hour later, almost all the guards came back without any news. Liu Chan suddenly had a premonition in his heart: something happened to Hua Tuo.

Sure enough, the last guard brought bad news: Mr. Hua was arrested.

Liu Chan couldn't help being shocked. Although Hua Tuo was not a literati, he had a great reputation among the people and was known as a "miracle doctor". How could he be arrested?Quickly asked why.

It turned out that Hua Tuo saw many people discussing together on the river bank on the way today. In the middle of the crowd was a man kneeling down in front of a female corpse and weeping bitterly.After inquiring, I found out that because her family objected to her marriage with the man, the woman threw herself into the river in anger, and was lifeless when she was rescued.

Hua Tuo hurriedly stepped forward to check, and found that the woman had not held her breath for a long time, so there should be some help.He ordered Wu Pu to take off the brocade quilt in the carriage to keep the woman warm, and then put his palms against the woman's abdomen, pressing up and down.In less than a quarter of an hour, after the woman vomited out the river water in her belly, she miraculously breathed weakly.Seeing that the man was finally saved, Hua Tuo let out a long breath and asked Wu Pu to take the medicine and feed the woman.

Hearing this, Liu Chan immediately realized that this is clearly the first aid for future generations!Yang Hansheng, Liu Chan's previous life, watched this kind of thing a lot on TV. Thinking back to Japan's "Code Blue", he watched it with great enjoyment.

He asked the guard, "Don't talk about it, why was Mr. Hua arrested?"

The guard explained: "Later, the woman's father arrived and learned that Mr. Hua Tuo was groping his daughter. He couldn't help becoming furious. Without any explanation, he asked his family to arrest both Mr. Hua Tuo and his apprentice. I’m about to be escorted to the ancestral temple to be beheaded!”

Liu Chan was furious. Mr. Hua and Senior Brother Wu Pu saved your daughter's life. Not only did you not thank you, but you even dared to kill innocent people indiscriminately. It is simply lawless!Liu Chan immediately asked Zhao Feng to bring all the men with him to snatch Mr. Hua back.

No, but the guard dissuaded Liu Chan, the other party was very powerful, and his own manpower was too small now, the young master must not act without authorization.Liu Chan was even more furious when he heard the words, and said angrily, "What is the origin of that man that makes you so afraid?!"

Seeing that the young master was angry, the guard hurriedly knelt down and reported: "This subordinate is incompetent! Listen to me, young master, the man's surname is Sun, and his family is a descendant of Yin Sun Shu'ao, the order of the state of Chu. There are thousands of diners in the family, and he is a domineering party. I'm afraid it's hard for us people to resist the enemy..."

Liu Chan was startled and angry in his heart, it turned out that the other party was a bold local tyrant!The Sun family of Soochow belongs to the descendants of Sun Wu, which has always made Jingzhou restless.Could it be that Sun Shu'ao's descendants also have to come and make a fuss?

But for the sake of Mr. Hua, Liu Chan couldn't care how powerful the opponent was, so he immediately sent someone out of the city to ask Zhang Fei for help.Zhang Fei's camp is relatively close to the Sun family, and there is no need to worry about him not sending troops.Then, Liu Chan asked the guard to lead the way, and 49 rode Yangchen towards Sun's house.

The Sun family's ancestral hall was built on the riverside, and it is quite large in scale. A stone statue standing inside is Sun Shuao.Sun Shuao made great achievements in water conservancy construction in Chu State, and later his family spread out in Chu.Sun Shuao was humble and polite all his life, he did not expect his descendants to become so arrogant.

When Liu Chan arrived, the ancestral hall of the Sun family was surrounded by clansmen, and the number of people in the battle was no less than several thousand!This Sun family is indeed a big clan, with so many clan members in one side branch.

On the steps in front of the ancestral hall, there were a few old men with serious expressions and a middle-aged man with a beard in gorgeous clothes, who were cursing at them.Hearing his scolding, this man is the father of the drowned woman.

Liu Chan commanded the guards to forcibly squeeze a way for him to pass. When he got closer, he saw Mr. Hua and Wu Pu kneeling under the steps, their noses and faces bruised and swollen.

When Hua Tuo and his disciples saw Liu Chan appearing, they couldn't help being overjoyed, shouting that it was a blessing.Liu Chan hurriedly asked Zhao Feng to go up and rescue Hua Tuo and Wu Pu.

The middle-aged man had seen Liu Chan and the others a long time ago, and thought they were just passing sergeants and would not interfere in their family affairs.Seeing that they knew these two villains now, and they were so arrogant to save others, they immediately shouted: "Where did a group of lunatics come from, dare to be so presumptuous in front of my family's ancestral hall!" With a wave of his hand , There was a sound of drawing swords in the crowd, there were hundreds of people, not only stopped Zhao Feng, but also surrounded Liu Chan and others.

Liu Chan calmly stepped forward, pointed at the middle-aged man, and shouted, "Shut up and let me go, Mr. Hua!"

But after scolding, Liu Chan felt a little regretful in his heart.Because although he was very angry, the most important thing now was to save people, so he immediately revealed his identity to the middle-aged man and asked him to release him as soon as possible.

The man didn't expect that this little guy in front of him was actually the son of Liu Bei, the lord of Jingzhou. He was taken aback for a moment, and then sneered, "So what if it's Mr. Liu? These two people have ruined my daughter's innocence and ruined my family style. They must be punished in front of their ancestors!"

Seeing that this man was so arrogant, Liu Chan dared not even give him face, and shouted: "Then what if they saved your daughter's life?"

Seeing that Liu Chan was young, but his tone was quite loud, Sun Tong couldn't help being a little surprised, but he still said forcefully: "Of course a woman's innocence is better than her life!"

Liu Chan couldn't help but get angry.Hua Tuo's way of saving people, such as master and apprentice, is indeed difficult for people in this era to accept, especially for these self-proclaimed magnates, who often regard reputation as more important than anything else.But Mr. Hua Tuo, as a doctor, was only thinking of how to save people, and now this intention is regarded as malicious by this surnamed Sun!
Liu Chan knew that there was nothing to talk about between them, so he immediately asked Zhao Feng and others to come forward to grab him.He didn't believe that those Jianghu swordsmen who were only good at fighting alone could withstand these silver-armored guards who had experienced many battles!

Sure enough, once the two sides fought against each other, they would be judged.Those guards lived and trained together all the year round, and they cooperated seamlessly. It took only a few dashes to almost disperse the knight-errants Sun's recruited from all over the place.

Seeing that something was wrong, Sun Tong immediately ordered people to take the elders of several families and Hua Tuo's master and apprentice to retreat in the direction of his manor.Seeing that Liu Chan was in a hurry, he immediately ordered Zhao Feng to chase after him.But Zhao Feng was already entangled by those swordsmen, and couldn't get away for a while, so he could only watch Sun Tong leave helplessly.
