When Zhang Mo and the other person returned to Xiahuli, someone had already arrived with officials.

"This is the traveling doctor I was talking about. His medical skills are amazing!" A peasant woman pointed at Zhang Ji, then at Zhang Mo and Ren Dong. "These two are the apprentices of the miracle doctor. Their medical skills are also good."

The peasant woman looked eagerly at the leading officer and said, "I've found three doctors for you. Can I get three times the reward?"

"take away!"

The officer took out three copper coins from his pocket and threw them to the peasant woman. With a wave of his hand, two people came up immediately to escort Zhang Ji and his two apprentices.

"What are you doing?" Xu Chu's bear-like body blocked the way and pushed aside the two officers. "You want to arrest someone, but first ask if I agree."

"What are you doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"

The officer was intimidated by Xu Chu's fierce look and drew his sword, pointing it at him. "I'm under orders from the Grand Commander to find a doctor. If you follow me, you'll be rewarded if you cure the disease. If you disobey, don't blame me for being merciless."

"What the hell is this reward? Why would I want it?"

Xu Chu glared fiercely and was about to attack the official. Fearing trouble, Zhang Ji quickly restrained Xu Chu and bowed to the official, "But the commander is ill? I will accompany you to the county town."

The officer said, "He is not a high-ranking official, but a military doctor."

"Military doctor?" Zhang Ji was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "But something is wrong with Envoy Yuan's army?"

The officer said, "I don't know. I only know that the higher-ups have ordered us to find all the doctors in Jizhou and send them to the army. We are just following orders."

All the doctors? Zhang Ji's expression suddenly grew serious. This situation was most likely an epidemic. He had been staying here to treat the epidemic in Xiaquyang. He immediately said, "Sir, could you please wait a moment? I'll pack my things and go with you."

The officer almost nodded, "Hurry up!"

Inside the house, looking at Zhang Ji who was packing up, Zhang Mo suddenly had a crazy idea in her mind: what would happen if she used the plague to wipe out Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan?

As soon as this idea came to her mind, she immediately rejected it. Not to mention that the epidemic this time was not highly contagious and the mortality rate was not high. With her master's presence, it could be brought under control quickly. Even if it was a highly contagious plague, she could not use it to deal with the enemy. This was in ancient times when medical care was very backward, not modern times. The result of engaging in bacterial and viral warfare would be devastating, and both the enemy and us would perish.

Zhang Ji quickly packed up his things. The officer saw that Zhang Mo hadn't caught up, so he pointed at her and said, "The army is short of doctors. The three of you should go together."

Zhang Ji said, "My disciple has only been with me for a year. His medical skills are really not that good. It would be useless for him to go."

"I can't make the decision on this. The higher-ups said the more the better, and anyone with medical skills must be brought along."

Zhang Ji bowed again and said, "My disciple has only given birth to a child three or four months ago, so I really can't come with you. I hope you will understand."

The officer hesitated for a moment and said with some embarrassment, "I really can't make the decision. If you don't go with us now, the general will send people to arrest you later. It's better to take you all together to save everyone trouble."

Zhang Mo frowned slightly, looked back at the little bun in the cradle who was sucking his finger, hid the reluctance in her eyes, and said to Zhang Ji, "Master, I will go with you."

Zhang Ji pulled her back into the house and whispered, "Why are you following?"

"I can't abandon you. You don't know that Yuan Benchu. If he cures your illness this time, he won't let you go. We still have to go back and open a medical school!"

Zhang Ji raised his mustache and said, "If Yuan Shao really doesn't want to release them, what's the point of you following him?"

"One more person means more ideas, and the official doesn't agree. You can't really fight them, or you won't be able to study this epidemic."

Hearing her say this, Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What will happen to the little bun if you leave?"

Zhang Mo patted the bulging wallet on her waist and said, "Go to the city to hire a wet nurse. Let Zhongming and Amina stay to take care of him. Zhongkang and I will go with you."

Xu Huang was so frightened when he heard that Zhang Mo was going to Yuan Shao's camp that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. "My dear aunt, have you forgotten your other identity?"

Zhang Mo touched her yin-yang face and said, "Look at me now, do I look like that exiled immortal Mr. Zhang?"

Xu Huang looked at it carefully, nodded and shook his head, "They are similar in general, but there are still big differences."

"I'm going this time as a female doctor, and I'm afraid to show my face to others because of my yin-yang face. I won't be recognized if I wear a hat."

When she was posing as Mr. Zhang, she was a man, and with the armor underneath, her physique was completely different from what it is now. Yuan Shao was currently facing Gongsun Zan in front of him and the epidemic behind him. He probably couldn't even sleep well, so how could he have the energy to come and see a lowly female doctor like her? Xu Huang, on the other hand, had previously been with her to Yuan Shao's army, so he couldn't go with her.

Zhang Mo looked at Xu Huang and Amina. "If everything goes well, this illness will be under control in a month at most, and I'll be back in a month. Please help me take care of the little one. Just follow my old habits. Everything he eats and uses must be clean. The same goes for the wet nurse. She must bathe every day, and the food she eats must follow the recipes I used before."

Seeing Xu Huang's tangled face, Zhang Mo thought for a moment and asked Amina, "Did Ah Fei follow Lu Bu?"

Amina nodded. "The general was afraid that there would be sudden news in Taiyuan, so he brought Ah Fei with him just in case."

Zhang Mo said, "Then send him a message and have Lü Bu take a detour on his way back to pick up his son. Tell him not to risk going to Yuan Shao's camp to look for me. If he doesn't obey, tell him that if he impulsively breaks into the camp, he might get killed. Tell him to send someone to monitor the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. I suspect Zhang Yan may send troops to aid Gongsun Zan this time. Send Anren or Ziyi to bring a group of troops with him. Then we'll see if there's a chance to fish in troubled waters."

Amina said with some embarrassment, "Eagles usually carry messages between two locations. Judging by the time, the general and his men are probably on their way back. If they're out in the wild, and Ah Fei has an eagle with him, this female eagle could find it. But if the female eagle hasn't found them before nightfall, and they've gone into the city to rest, then she won't be able to find them."

"Give it a try. If you can't find it, won't it come back to you on its own? At worst, I can wait for Lu Bu to return to Jinyang and then send him a message. It will only take a few more days for you to work hard."

Amina nodded and took out a piece of paper and wrote, "General, my wife is in Xiahuli, Xiaquyang. She has given birth to a little boy for you. She asked you to come and pick him up on your return trip."

After the officials left, Amina called down the eagle that was flying in the distant sky, put the letter in it, and waved her hands rhythmically towards the north. The eagle then flew north.

The black eagle flies very fast. It was released around noon in the morning and flew to the vicinity of Fanyang County, Zhuo County in the evening. It happened that Lu Bu and his party were still traveling in the wild at this time. The female eagle saw the male eagle circling high in the sky, cried out and flew towards it. The two eagles danced together for a while, and Du Fei waved to the sky, and the female eagle swooped down.

Du Fei raised his arm, and the female eagle landed on it. Du Fei took out a piece of letter paper from the bamboo tube in the eagle's claws and said to it, "There's no meat for you to eat on the road right now. Go catch wild birds in the sky yourself."

After saying that, he raised his arm, and the eagle took off and flew south again. Above Du Fei's head, the eagle was still circling.

"Was it sent by Amina?" Lu Bu slowed down his horse and walked side by side with Du Fei.

Du Fei nodded and handed the letter directly to Lu Bu, "Maybe there is an urgent matter in Jinyang."

Lu Bu unfolded the letter and took a look. Thinking he had misread it, he quickly stopped his mount and read it again carefully. He muttered to himself in a daze, "I have a son?"
