The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

Seeing that the doctor was powerless, the old servant could only shake his head and sighed as he returned to the mansion.

The courtyard was somewhat desolate.

Chen Deng was lying in the courtyard, with several servants serving him.

The old servant walked back to the courtyard, and Chen Deng saw him and asked:

"Have you paid the medical fee?"

The old servant shook his head and said:

"The master refused to accept it."

After hearing this, Chen Deng nodded helplessly and said:

"It seems that my body is beyond repair."

"Uncle Chen, go get some paper and pen."

"I will write a suicide note for my son Chen Su."

After hearing this, the old servant's eyes suddenly flashed with tears:

"My Lord..."

Chen Deng waved his hand weakly and said, "Go."

"Alas..."

The old servant had to turn around and leave.

His Lord's illness has not been one or two days.

It has been getting worse over the years.

Many doctors were invited to see him, but none of them worked.

Especially recently, Chen Deng had not been able to eat anything for several days.

Seeing Chen Deng getting thinner day by day, he probably wouldn't make it to the next spring.

And his son Chen Su was still studying outside.

So Chen Deng thought of leaving a suicide note to his son Chen Su.

Bang, bang, bang.

The old servant hadn't walked far when he heard someone knocking on the door.

So he looked back at Chen Deng.

These days, no matter who asked to see him, Chen Deng didn't want to see him.

Even the newly appointed Guangling prefect Tang Jian came twice in person, but was rejected by Chen Deng.

The knock on the door sounded again, and it seemed a bit persistent.

The old servant hoped that a doctor would come to cure Chen Deng's illness.

So he carried Chen Deng on his back and walked over to open the door.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a white face and green beard stood outside.

With a smile on his face.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

The man said, "Uncle Chen, don't you remember me?"

The old servant shook his head, indicating that he really couldn't remember.

The man smiled and said, "I am Chen Jiao from Guangling, an old friend of Brother Yuanlong. I used to be Gongcao of Guangling. Uncle Chen, do you remember me?"

The old servant remembered it and said several times:

"Oh, it's Gongcao Chen!"

Chen Jiao smiled and asked, "Haha, by the way, is Brother Yuanlong at home?"

After hearing this, the old servant's face changed and said, "Yes."

Chen Jiao said, "Since Yuanlong is at home, please let Uncle Chen know that an old friend came to see him."

After hearing this, the old servant quickly agreed, and then said to Chen Jiao, "Gongcao Chen, please wait here, I will go and report."

After saying this, he hurried back to the courtyard.

Chen Deng lay weakly on the bed, and saw the old servant coming back, but he didn't have paper and pen in his hand.

So he asked:

"Uncle Chen, where is the paper and pen I asked you to get?"

The old servant replied: "Sir, Chen Gongcao is here to see you."

After hearing this, Chen Deng asked: "Which Chen Gongcao?"

The old servant replied: "It's Chen Jiao, Master Chen Jibi."

After hearing this, Chen Deng immediately showed a look of surprise on his face.

"I didn't expect Jibi to come to see me. Come on, let him in."

The old servant responded and hurried to the door to invite Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao followed the old servant all the way into the inner courtyard.

On the way, the old servant said to him as he walked:

"Master Chen."

"My master's health is getting worse and worse. He hasn't eaten for three days. I'm afraid he won't have much time left."

"Right now, he's thinking about writing a suicide note."

"Please persuade him later."

After hearing this, Chen Jiao was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Why don't you ask the doctor to treat him?"

The old servant replied, "The doctor has seen countless people, but they are all helpless."

"He can't even diagnose the root of the disease."

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the inner courtyard.

There was a bed in the courtyard, with several servants serving beside it.

And Chen Deng was lying on it weakly, covered with a thin quilt.

Seeing this, Chen Jiao was shocked!

He hurriedly quickened his pace and walked over!

"Ji Bi..."

Seeing Chen Jiao, Chen Deng's pale face showed a hint of joy, and he stretched out his hand on the bed.

Looked very weak.

Chen Jiao quickly came to Chen Deng's bed and held Chen Deng's skinny hand.

Tears were already in his eyes:

"Brother Yuanlong, how did you become like this?"

Chen Deng smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what strange disease I have had in these years, and the doctors are helpless."

"Now, I'm afraid that the time of death is not far away."

Chen Jiao held Chen Deng's hand and cried so hard that he didn't know what to say.

Chen Deng comforted him, "Born to die, it's normal for people."

"Diseases and disasters are also destiny, how can human power resist?"

"Don't be too sad, Ji Bi, I can see you before I die.I am very satisfied to have a good friend like you. "

"But after I die, I hope Ji Bi can take care of my son Chen Su."

Chen Jiao asked crying, "Where is my nephew Chen Su?"

Chen Deng replied, "He has gone to study abroad and I don't know when he will return."

"Ji Bi is virtuous and has the demeanor of a gentleman. I hope he can give more advice to my son in the future."

Chen Jiao listened and agreed with tears.

Then, Chen Deng asked again, "Didn't Ji Bi go to work under Prime Minister Cao? Why did he return to Guangling today?"

Chen Jiao said, "I was recommended by Mr. Cheng Yu, and Prime Minister Cao transferred me back to the post of Gongcao of Guangling County to assist Tang Jian in governing Guangling."

"So I was able to return."

After hearing this, Chen Deng smiled weakly and said, "It seems that Ji Bi was entrusted by Tang Jian to find me, right? "

Chen Jiao nodded with tears in his eyes.

Chen Deng sighed and said, "I am afraid I will disappoint you with my current appearance."

"Thinking of my Chen family, we have been operating in Guangling for three generations, but I didn't expect that after my death, it would fall into the hands of others..."

"But now that Ji Bi is here, I can finally rest assured..."

"I hope Ji Bi will employ those outstanding children of my Chen family as appropriate. "

Chen Jiao basically kept crying and nodding.

Until Chen Deng was so weak that he had difficulty speaking.

The old servant had to have Chen Deng carried back to the house.

Chen Jiao said goodbye to Chen Deng and returned to the county governor's mansion.

At this time, Lu Kuang and his men had returned.

And they brought back a new face - Fu Ying.

It seemed that they had won a victory. In the hall, Bu Zhi, Wei Yan, Lu Kuang, and Fu Tong were all talking happily.

Only Chen Jiao's tears were not dry, and he came to the hall to pay his respects to Tang Jian.

Tang Jian saw that something was wrong with him, so he asked: "Ji Bi, what are you doing...?"

Seeing that he was in a low mood, everyone stopped talking and laughing and looked at him.

Chen Jiao calmed down and replied:

"My Lord, I just went to Lord Chen Deng's house and found out that Lord Chen was already terminally ill."

"There are only 80 kilograms of bones and flesh on his body, and he looks like a withered man. I'm afraid he won't live long! "

"What?"

Tang Jian was shocked when he heard this!

This Chen Deng is a top talent!

I was planning to win him over and let him compete with me for the world.

Why is he going to die now?

Tang Jian quickly summoned some county officials to confirm.

They all said that Chen Deng was indeed ill, and he often fell ill before leaving office and became very thin.

Tang Jian believed it and asked, "By the way, does Chen Yuanlong like to eat sashimi?"
