Chapter 60

"We’ve chatted enough for today!"

"I have a certain understanding of the talents of the three of you. In my opinion, all three of you are great talents of the age. Are you willing to join my command and help me?"

Seeing that the time was right, Su Xuan directly issued an invitation.

Xun You just smiled and said nothing.

Su Xuan was indeed very good and very much to his liking, but as a member of the Xun family, pledging allegiance was not something he could decide entirely on his own; he still had to ask his family.

Moreover, Su Xuan’s official position was still a bit lacking, unable to make Xun You and the Xun clan ignore his weak background and join his command.

Therefore, although Xun You thought highly of Su Xuan, he still politely declined with a light smile: "The General’s literary and military strategies and knowledge are all extraordinary, but I have no intention of becoming an official for the time being. If I have this intention in the future, I will definitely prioritize the General."

"Hey! That’s a pity!"

Su Xuan nodded in understanding, knowing that it was not yet time to recruit people like Xun You, and immediately looked at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia and asked: "What about you two?"

Xi Zhicai was about to stand up and pledge allegiance, but was pulled by his sleeve by Guo Jia, and then, under Xi Zhicai’s angry glare, Guo Jia said to Su Xuan with a grin: "I am only 14 and have not yet reached the age of capping; my studies are not yet complete, so I cannot agree for the time being. How about I come find the General after my studies are complete?"

Hmm! Just find him; if Su Xuan was still satisfactory to him then, he would naturally be willing to join Su Xuan’s command.

If not, then he could only apologize.

Anyway, he didn't agree directly, so you, Su Xuan, couldn't force him to stay then, right?

It was just that Su Xuan didn't use mind-reading, mainly because he was worried that the few of them would notice.

Because he found that the mental power of these three people was exceptionally strong.

Was this a talent, or the result of some kind of cultivation?

It wouldn't be good to be noticed.

Guo Jia thought to himself, preparing to travel around after finishing his studies.

He believed that by then, it would already be an era of warlords rising together, and he would just happen to see how the warlords were doing.

Was there anyone more to his liking than Su Xuan?

If there was, he would join; if not, he would join Su Xuan’s camp.

He just sought to follow his heart.

"Alright!"

Su Xuan took a deep look at Guo Jia, faintly sensing the thoughts in Guo Jia’s heart.

He thought: "You kid want to freeload my fine wine? No way! When the time comes, I will tie you up and bring you here, humph!"

However, on the surface, Su Xuan still reminded him with concern: "I actually have good medical skills! I can see that Guo Fengxiao is already somewhat kidney-deficient, and your liver is also somewhat damaged;"

"You still need to restrain yourself in terms of wine and women in the future!"

"You are still young and not yet an adult; your kidney water is not solid. Pay attention to restraint; you don't want to be an adult but not be able to perform, right?"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia’s face turned black.

What the hell is this?

Is this kind of thing something that can be said directly in front of everyone?

"Pfft!!"

Xun You and Xi Zhicai heard this, and seeing Guo Jia’s face, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Then, the laughter couldn't be stopped.

Xi Zhicai teased: "Guo Fengxiao, you have today too! Actually, I warned you long ago, but you wouldn't listen. How about it now?"

"Indeed!"

Xun You also nodded and said with concern: "Guo Fengxiao, don't avoid the doctor; you must pay attention to your health."

"Humph!"

Guo Jia glared at Su Xuan with a black face: "The General is deliberately trying to embarrass me, right? The General is only 17; do you really understand medical skills? I don't believe it!"

"Tsk!"

Before Su Xuan could reply, Old Dian Wei, who had been standing to the side, curled his lips and looked at Guo Jia with disdain: "My lord is a divine doctor of the age; this was personally recognized by the divine doctor Hua Tuo!"

"My lord saying he knows a little medical skill is just being modest!"

"When can age represent ability?"

"There are plenty of people older than me; how come I haven't seen anyone stronger than me?"

You can talk about him, but you can't talk about his lord.

"Really or fake? Even the divine doctor Hua Tuo recognized it? Is it the divine doctor Hua Tuo I know?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia was suddenly panicked and couldn't help but ask.

This was not a joke; he didn't want to be unable to perform in the future.

Wouldn't half the fun of life be gone?

Xun You and Xi Zhicai also looked at each other.

"Naturally!"

Old Dian Wei proudly raised his chin: "If you don't believe me, you can find time to go to the Dengxian Medical College and ask; the divine doctor Hua Tuo is currently teaching students at the Medical College."

"Medical College? Could it be an academy specifically for teaching medical skills?"

Xun You couldn't help but ask.

"Correct!"

Old Dian Wei nodded affirmatively: "My lord established the Medical College to teach more medical practitioners so they can save the people of the world, and he persuaded the divine doctor Hua Tuo, which is why he stayed. Impressive, right?"

"Indeed impressive!"

Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and even Guo Jia couldn't help but nod.

Their gazes toward Su Xuan were full of admiration.

"The General is benevolent and unparalleled!"

Xun You praised: "If one day we can truly cultivate enough medical practitioners so that everyone can see a doctor, then this world will surely have fewer people dying."

"Indeed!"

Xi Zhicai nodded, then took a deep breath, unable to wait any longer, stood up and bowed deeply to Su Xuan, his face firm: "I am honored by the General’s regard; I have actually long admired the General’s name and wish to pledge allegiance to the General. I wonder what the General thinks?"

"Haha!"

Su Xuan saw this, was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and helped Xi Zhicai up with a look of surprise, patted his arm excitedly: "I couldn't ask for more! It is a great honor to have your help, sir!"

"Sir can be my army’s strategist and attendant."

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai immediately accepted the order.

He was very happy in his heart.

He was given a heavy responsibility as soon as he joined; Su Xuan clearly valued him highly!

This is very good.

Guo Jia and Xun You saw this and looked at each other; for some reason, a sour and inexplicable emotion was brewing in their hearts.

At this time, Su Xuan seriously looked at Xi Zhicai for a few moments, then grabbed one of Xi Zhicai’s hands and gently pinched his pulse.

Although Xi Zhicai didn't know why Su Xuan did this, he still watched quietly.

After a few breaths, Su Xuan frowned and said: "Zhicai, your body is much worse than Guo Fengxiao’s!"

"His is caused by a lack of restraint acquired later, which is not yet serious, but yours is clearly a congenital deficiency with cold poison entering the bones, which has also caused your lungs to be affected. Your mother must have suffered from a very severe cold when she was pregnant with you, and perhaps she even..."

Su Xuan didn't finish the rest of his words.

Xi Zhicai looked at Su Xuan with shock, then nodded heavily and continued: "My mother passed away the second year after giving birth to me!"

"I was raised by my father, but 5 years ago, my father also passed away from illness!"

"Sorry! Please accept my condolences!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan remained silent, reached out and patted Xi Zhicai’s shoulder to comfort him.

"It’s fine!"

Xi Zhicai laughed freely: "It’s all in the past; I saw through it long ago!"

"If back then, when my mother was pregnant with me, she could have afforded and found a qualified medical practitioner, perhaps it wouldn't have been like this;"

"Therefore, my lord’s act of founding the Medical College is truly benevolent and unparalleled;"

"In the future, countless patients will be grateful for my lord’s merit today."

This is the lord he set his sights on!

Xi Zhicai felt he hadn't chosen the wrong person.

Although he had just joined, he was already loyal to Su Xuan; as long as Su Xuan didn't do anything that would make heaven angry and people resentful, Xi Zhicai was willing to follow Su Xuan to accomplish something.

"Indeed!"

Guo Jia and Xun You heard this and also nodded.

"Not good!"

Immediately afterward, Guo Jia looked at Su Xuan and asked: "General, I... uh... is there a problem with that? Is there any way to cure it?"

This Su Xuan clearly had real skills in medical science.

Guo Jia panicked.

He really didn't want to be unable to perform in the future!

"Hehe!"

Su Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing this: "It’s actually not serious yet; you are still young. Abstain from sex for two or three years, and after your body grows up and your kidney water is consolidated, it will be fine;"

"As for your liver, I can only say, drink in moderation;"

"Additionally, I can write a prescription for protecting your liver and sobering up for you; you can go get the medicine yourself and take it on time and in the prescribed amount for three months;"

"Of course, the premise is that you don't drink excessively afterward; otherwise, it will only alleviate some of the liver disease."

In the end, you shouldn't overdo anything.

When the moon is full, it wanes; when water is full, it overflows.

The principles are all the same.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia’s face turned bitter.

Abstain from sex for two or three years?

Isn't this killing him?

"I..."

Before Guo Jia could refuse, Xun You to the side interrupted him, staring at Guo Jia with a burning gaze: "Guo Fengxiao, as your good friend, I feel it is necessary for me to supervise you well in the next few years;"

"Rest assured! I will not lend you money to drink and have fun for the next 3 years!"

"I will also let your friends around you not lend you money;"
