Chapter 360: Instructing Liu Biao and Making Liu Qi the Crown Prince
Just when Liu Biao was about to continue talking, he suddenly felt a stinging sensation on his back. Then Liu Biao felt that the red and swollen pustule on his back had burst open, and the smelly and hot pus gushed out of the pustule, covering his body. The fine clothes were instantly soaked.
The fishy smell instantly filled the entire room. Gu Rubing and Cai Hao, who were closest to Liu Biao, smelled the smell immediately. Cai Hao impatiently covered his mouth and nose, frowned and looked around everyone, as if looking for the source of the smell. , when his eyes glanced at Liu Biao, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something.
Of all the people present, only Liu Qi became nervous after seeing Liu Biao's sudden discomfort. Liu Cong, on the other hand, did not react at all.
Gu Rubing immediately thought of the reason and stood up immediately, blocking everyone and Liu Biao.
"Brother Jingsheng, remember you still have something to say to me?"
At this moment, Liu Biao only felt the heartbreaking pain coming from his back, causing a layer of dense cold sweat to break out on his forehead. In addition to the pain, there was also a strong burning sensation. This burning feeling actually made Liu Biao want to Take off your fancy clothes in this freezing cold weather.
Dazed by the pain, Liu Biao slowly raised his head after hearing Gu Rubing's words.
"Yes, I have something to say. Please step aside."
Holding back the pain, Liu Biao sent everyone away. Then he couldn't hold on any longer and fell down on the desk. The clothes behind him were completely soaked with pus, turning from the original luxurious red to dark red.
"Ziyi, guard the meeting hall. No one is allowed to come in without my order!"
Tai Shici was waiting outside the house. After hearing Gu Rubing's voice coming from inside the house, he bent down and said with cupped hands.
"Don't worry, my lord, as long as I'm here, not even a fly can fly in!"
In front of Taishi Ci, Cai Mao and Liu Cong stood. Cai Mao's face was ashen.
"May I ask what Liu Bei means? My lord is obviously unwell, but he still stays with my lord and kicks us out. What's his intention?!"
Cai Mao was extremely dissatisfied with what Gu Rubing said. After all, for him, he could continue to dominate in this position only if Liu Cong succeeded him as the governor of Jingzhou.
"Liu Bei first interfered in my affairs in Jingzhou, and now he separated us from my uncle. Could it be that he wanted to do something untoward to my uncle? He interfered in my affairs in Jingzhou like this! You can't take over my Jingzhou!"
The young man who spoke was named Zhang Yun, who was Liu Biao's nephew and the cousin of Liu Qi and Liu Cong. However, he was more inclined to Liu Cong and had never had much contact with Liu Qi.
They all obviously knew the real cause of Liu Biao's illness. At this moment, they were not only accusing Gu Rubing of interfering in the succession of Jingzhou, but also wanted to blame Gu Rubing for Liu Biao's illness. In this way, he would definitely no longer be able to influence the affairs of Jingzhou. .
Taishi Ci turned a deaf ear to their cries. It was not until Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling County, that one of his generals drew his sword and tried to break through. Taishi Ci took off his big bow and put three arrows on the string. .
"Whoever takes another step forward will be shot to death!"
The general who drew his sword and wanted to charge into the battle, the moment Tai Shici raised his bow and arrow, he felt as if he was being targeted by a prehistoric beast, as if as long as he dared to take a step forward, that man would really dare to let him go. Dead bodies were found on the spot.
Taishi Ci was like this, with one man in charge, and he had the aura of being invincible. Everyone present was shocked by Taishi Ci's move, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while.
"Do you think this is your Qingzhou? In our Jingzhou, Liu Bei's words don't count!"
Cai Hao said fiercely, the matter is over, the two sides have fallen out, then there is no need to worry about shame anymore. The most important thing now is to confirm Liu Biao's condition so as to plan what to do next. As Cai Hao With a wave of his hand, several well-equipped teams rushed into the courtyard. They were about to rush into the formation and enter the house. When Taishi Ci was about to start a killing spree, a voice rang out from inside the house.
"What are you doing! Xuande is a friend I invited here, how dare you be so disrespectful! Hurry up and get out of here!"
After hearing the sound, Cai Mao was obviously startled. He obviously did not expect that Liu Biao would recover so quickly.
"Lord, we are really worried that something will happen to you, so we are in a hurry. Please forgive me, please forgive me, Uncle Liu!"
After all, Cai Mao was a veteran who had been in the workplace for many years, and he quickly figured out the reason.
"Worried about something happening to me? You should worry about yourself first!"
After hearing Liu Biao's words, Cai Hao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. You must know that Liu Biao's back gangrene was caused by them. Cai Hao quickly bent towards the house and cupped his hands.
"Since my lord is fine, my subordinates can rest assured and resign first!"
Cai Mao's expression at this moment was as if he had eaten several dead children. He gritted his teeth and left. Zhang Yun and others followed him and left without stopping.
In the room, Liu Biao's back had been covered with two pieces of black hula mat, sealing the two ulcerated wounds with pus gushing out. These were taken from Hua Tuo before Gu Rubing came to Jingzhou. They could be used temporarily. Containing Liu Biao's condition only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It can only be postponed but not cured.
"Xuande, what you just said is true?"
Liu Biao asked with a horrified look on his face, and Gu Rubing nodded solemnly.
A quarter of an hour ago, after the two had cleared out the others, Gu Rubing uncovered Liu Biao's gorgeous clothes on his back. The two largest pustules on his back had already burst, and now they were still flowing with yellow-brown pus. The pus exuded a smell that was both fishy and pungent, making people feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Brother Jingsheng, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Rubing said in surprise, and at the same time tore off the corner of his clothes, ignoring the fishy pus, and wiped Liu Biao's body. Liu Biao felt Gu Rubing's action and hurriedly stopped him.
"Xuan De, what are you doing? Let the servants deal with the filthy things."
"No, Brother Jingsheng, you value your reputation the most in your life. If people know what you look like, I'm afraid..."
Gu Rubing didn't say anything else. He believed that Liu Biao would not even understand this simplest truth. Liu Biao, who was at the desk, sighed.
"Xuan De, you are right. My back disease relapsed just now, and only you and Qi'er looked worried. Cong'er, on the other hand, not only did not react, but was still outside the door... Alas!"
Liu Biao was in such a bad mood at the moment.
After dealing with the pus on Liu Biao's back, Gu Rubing took out the herbs that he had asked Hua Tuo for before coming here, and helped him stick them on his back to stop the pus from flowing out.
The moment the herbs were applied, Liu Biao felt a shock of spirit, and the original burning and pain disappeared, replaced by a coolness. This coolness made Liu Biao feel like a spring breeze.
"Xuan De, what is this? It has such a therapeutic effect?"
Liu Biao asked in confusion, and Gu Rubing shook his head slightly.
"This is what my army doctor prepared for me. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. If you usually eat rich and greasy food, your body will accumulate heat, and you need to clear away heat and fire in time."
Listening to Gu Rubing's clear and logical explanation, Liu Biao believed it without a doubt. He usually ate a lot of fish and meat. At such an old age, he didn't eat any vegetables. Since he caught a damp and hot cold a month ago, his back began to itch.
"I have always eaten a lot of fish and meat. I think it's because of this reason. I will never eat meat again!"
Liu Biao said viciously. In the past half a month, he has been tortured by this and his mental state has become bad.
"Although eating a lot of fish and meat will accumulate heat, it is not to this extent. Brother Jingsheng, have you eaten any tonic food recently?"
Gu Rubing saw that Liu Biao obviously did not expect how serious his illness was. Gu Rubing, based on the principle of "good brothers", had to remind Liu Biao not to think that it was just a minor fight when he was about to die.
"Tonic food?"
Liu Biao fell into deep thought. In recent times, he has almost never stopped taking tonic food such as ginseng, snow frog, deer antler, and bird's nest. Some time ago, Cai Mao also sent him some tiger whip wine, which made Liu Biao very happy.
Before entering the game, he could not even see tiger whip wine, let alone drink it. In addition, Liu Biao's body was really not good, which made him a little powerless. This also led to his body softening when he was having sex, even though his sperm was still highly excited.
In addition to tiger whip wine, Cai Mao recently sent someone to deliver a hundred-year-old turtle and stewed a pot of turtle soup for Liu Biao, which made Liu Biao very hungry. He ate it all by himself. There were also countless other supplements.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao was shocked. Could it be that Cai Mao did it? Is he harming himself? Why? A series of questions popped up in Liu Biao's mind.
"In the past month, no, two months, I have been eating some tonics."
Looking at Liu Biao's thoughtful look, Gu Rubing knew that he had made the right bet. It turned out that Cai Mao was constantly sending tonics to Liu Biao. Gu Rubing decided to add fuel to the fire and make Liu Biao wake up completely.
"Brother Jingsheng, have you had a serious illness recently? Or caught a cold?"
"Yes, there was one time. About half a month ago, I went on a winter hunt. After returning, I caught a cold and fell ill."
Liu Biao's thoughts were pulled back to reality by Gu Rubing's questions.
"Oh, yes, it's been itching since I recovered from the cold. A week ago, I started to have these small pustules on my back, and they are getting bigger and bigger."
"That's right, this is back carbuncle. The cause of the disease is too much heat in the body, and then if it is stimulated by external factors such as cold, it will cause back carbuncle. It seems that Brother Jingsheng has entered the second stage."
"Second stage, what do you mean?"
Liu Biao sat up quickly and held Gu Rubing's hands. He was tense and sweat was oozing from his forehead.
"Alas, in the second stage, back carbuncle cannot be cured."
"What! Terminal illness?!"
Liu Biao seemed to have his spine pulled out. He collapsed on the seat and muttered to himself, which was not very clear.
"Liu Bei, no, Xuande, please, save me, you must have a way, right? Where is your marching doctor? Let him save me! I don't want to die!"
"Brother Jingsheng, don't get excited!"
Gu Rubing used force on his hands to press Liu Biao to the seat and unable to move.
"I just said that it can't be cured, it doesn't mean you will definitely die. As long as you stop eating some tonic food in the next period of time, eat a lighter diet, and abstain from sex! Otherwise, even gods can't save you!"
Liu Biao, who was crying with snot and tears, immediately stood up after hearing Gu Rubing's words, wiped the tears and snot from his face, and died in the game. That was real death. How could Liu Biao not be afraid? A working man at the bottom suddenly became the governor of a state in the game. This level of leap made him cherish his life even more, which is why he lost his composure after hearing that he was terminally ill.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you!"
At this moment, Liu Biao had been completely led away by Gu Rubing. This was the scene where Liu Biao had just dismissed Cai Mao and his men.
After Liu Biao cleaned himself up, changed into new clothes, and walked out of the room, the moment he walked out of the room, several people around him left in a hurry to report the news of Liu Biao's appearance to the people behind him.
Not long after, Cai Hao, Zhang Yun, Liu Cong and others came together. Liu Cong was the first to bear the brunt. He knelt down and threw himself in front of Liu Biao.
"Father, what happened to you just now? The child was worried about his father and wanted to go in to see his father, but he was blocked by this traitor!"
Liu Cong pointed at Tai Shici and said fiercely. At the same time, he did not forget to raise his sleeves and wipe the tears that were finally squeezed out of his face.
"Okay, shut up!"
After learning that it was the things Cai Mao sent that made him sick, Liu Biao became a little tired of Liu Cong.
Just then, Liu Qi rushed to the door. After seeing the scene in the courtyard, Liu Qi stopped at the door. He didn't know whether he should appear in front of Liu Biao, for fear that Liu Biao would be more disgusted with him, and he couldn't do it to him. Liu Cong lowered his head, the pride in his bones did not allow him to do so.
Liu Biao also saw Liu Qi who was hesitating at the door. In comparison, he was much more stable than the second son in front of him who was holding his thigh and howling like a wolf.
"Qi'er, come here."
When Liu Qi heard his father's call, he looked at Liu Biao in disbelief. Just when he thought it was his imagination, Liu Biao waved to him again, and then he quickly walked up to Liu Biao.
When Liu Cong saw that his father ignored him and went to call that annoying brother instead, he suddenly became angry and his eyes became vicious.
"You stand up too."
Liu Biao glanced at Liu Cong on the ground and said impatiently. After they both stood up, Liu Biao announced in front of everyone.
"According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi will be the crown prince from today on."
After finishing speaking, Liu Biao ignored the chaotic crowd below and turned around to leave. Cai Hao's sinister eyes stared at the leaving Liu Biao and Gu Rubing, while Liu Cong fell to the ground, as if he had lost his mind. He usually sat on the ground and stared blankly at Liu Biao who was gradually leaving.
Liu Qi was already in tears at this moment. He was crying because he was extremely sure at this moment that Liu Bei was the man sent by Zhuge Liang to help him. He finally no longer had to live in fear every day.
