Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Guo Jia had only followed Cao Cao for a year, and Cao Cao did not know him very well. His trust in him was mostly based on the fact that he was a talent recommended by Xun Yu. However, the only strategy Guo Jia offered for Jizhou during that year was to help Lu Bu eliminate the powerful families in Jizhou and consolidate his control over the grain-producing area of ​​Hebei.

Obsessed, Cao Cao only saw the cause and result of the battle in Jizhou, but did not think carefully about how many factors in the process were beyond Guo Jia's control. He even only proposed a rough strategy, and the specific implementation was done by Xun You.

However, because Zhang Mo was involved in this, Cao Cao was stuck in a dilemma. He believed that Guo Jia was Zhang Mo's accomplice, and the reason he did not execute him immediately was to wait for the Tang Kingdom to provide something to redeem him.

The process of redeeming Guo Jia was easier than Xun Chen had imagined. After the terms were agreed upon, Cao Cao readily released Guo Jia.

For someone who had never been loyal to him, Cao Cao did not even see Guo Jia again before leaving. Instead, Guo Jia asked Xun Yu to leave a message for him.

"If Lord Cao doesn't even trust the people he drinks with while enjoying the snow, who else can he truly trust? And who else will truly trust him?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly remembered the scene last winter when the two of them cooked wine and admired plum blossoms. He was completely stunned. After a long silence, he murmured, "Why didn't Fengxiao defend himself?"

"How can you defend yourself? Although he was wrong in this matter, ever since your lord suspected him of being a spy, the bond between him and you has come to an end! Your lord can be angry at him for disobeying your will, you can punish him, you can even suspect him of disloyalty and kill him, but you should not doubt his character!"

Xun Yu sighed with regret, "He used to indulge in the beauty of nature, living a carefree and unrestrained life. It was me who dragged him into the mortal world, turning his fantasy of the little fox fairy into an obsession. In the end, he was branded a spy and left. It's all my fault!"

Cao Cao suddenly woke up, rushed out of the door, and rode his horse out of the city to chase after Guo Jia, all the way to the bank of the Yellow River. However, he saw that the boat had already left the shore and Guo Jia was standing at the bow with his hands behind his back. The rustling river breeze blew up his clothes, making him flutter like a banished immortal. His thin body seemed like he would fly away with the wind at any time.

On the ferry, Guo Jia seemed to hear Cao Cao's call. He turned around, was slightly stunned, and then saluted Cao Cao from a distance!

This ceremony was both a farewell to the emperor and his subjects, and a thank you for finally choosing to believe!

Watching his receding figure, Cao Cao felt as if sand had blurred his eyes. He blinked, then returned the salute. Regardless of whether Guo Jia could hear him or not, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Trust those you employ; if you doubt someone, don't employ them. I will remember the advice Feng Xiao left me... I will remember it in my heart..."

However, what is the use of remembering it in his heart? He lost Fengxiao and cut off one of his arms. Who can replace Fengxiao in the future?

At this moment, Cao Cao felt that he had lost another game, and his defeat was even worse than the last battle in Hanoi!

…………

Three days later, the group returned to Yecheng. Xun Chen did not take Guo Jia into the city, but instead arranged a clean and tidy house for him in the countryside outside the city. At the same time, he sent someone to the city to invite Hua Tuo to come and treat his body. Before leaving, he left a sign allowing him to enter and leave Yecheng freely.

"What does the King of Tang mean?" Guo Qian asked in confusion when he saw Xun Chen leaving his master and servant outside the city.

"It means I am still free and can leave or enter the city at any time!" Guo Jia explained.

"Are you leaving then?"

Guo Qian tried to persuade him to stay, "I think the King of Tang and the Princess are both very kind people. When I came to ask for help that day, the King of Tang agreed without hesitation, even willing to exchange secrets for it. This shows that he doesn't care whether you admire the Princess or not. In my opinion, a fairy-like figure like the Princess must have more admirers than just you, Young Master. I haven't seen the King of Tang hide her from others. I know that you admire the Princess's talent more than her beauty, otherwise you wouldn't have been obsessed with her for so many years, even though she was a man. Now we can become close friends!"

"How do you know I'm not lustful?" Guo Jia rolled his eyes at him.

"If you were lustful, you would not have returned to Yanzhou if you had seen her in person in Jinyang. There are so many beauties in the world, and you have encountered them all over the years, and I have never seen you look at any of them with special eyes."

Hua Tuo interjected, "That's because your young master needs to cultivate his character. His health is already poor. If he doesn't restrain himself from getting close to women, he probably won't live past thirty."

Guo Qian said, "The genius doctor doesn't understand my son at all. If he really liked someone, he wouldn't care about his health. When you told him not to worry too much and not to drink too much, he didn't listen to a word..."

"Shut up……"

Seeing Hua Tuo's eyes widened, Guo Jia hurriedly stopped Guo Qian from saying the next words, but it was too late.

"I was wondering why, after so many years of treatment, there's been no improvement at all. So, you're disrespecting the doctor's advice? I thought the medicine wasn't right for me. I've been racking my brains for days, but I still can't figure it out. I consulted with Zhongjing several times, and finally, I realized the problem lies with you. Do you realize that you're not only being irresponsible with your own life, but also disrespecting my medical skills?"

Guo Jia quickly apologized, "You are too kind, Doctor. I have great faith in your skills and mean no disrespect. It's just that some things are beyond my control."

Hua Tuo said angrily, "Drinking is uncontrollable? Don't make excuses for yourself!"

As he spoke, he pushed Guo Jia down on the couch, took out a row of silver needles, pulled out the thickest one, lifted up his clothes and inserted it neatly. Guo Jia groaned, not daring to say another word, and could only silently endure the doctor's wrath.

After the acupuncture treatment, Hua Tuo's anger subsided. As he packed up his things, he said, "If you take good care of yourself, living another ten or twenty years won't be a problem. But if you continue to act recklessly and drink to excess, I think you only have six or seven years left. God has given everyone a life with meaning. How many people in this world are struggling on the brink of death, desperately trying to live but unable to do so? And you clearly could live well if you just lived a more frugal life, yet you treat your life so lightly."

Hua Tuo carried his medicine box and said, "If you really don't want to live anymore, then use these last few years of your life to do something meaningful. At least when you die, people will remember that there was a man named Guo Fengxiao in the world, rather than dying like an ant, meaningless and unknown."

Guo Jia remained silent. He didn't care whether he could leave a name in the world or not. He had served Cao Mengde before, not for the great cause of the world or the life and death of the people, but just wanted to use the last few years of his time to have a great game with her.

However, since Cao Gong suspected him of being a spy for the Tang Dynasty, he knew that he had lost the qualifications to play chess with her. He was ready to die, but unexpectedly, he was saved by her in the end.

Now he doesn't know what to do?

Hua Tuo carried his medicine box and returned to the city. Guo Qian put the prescription in his arms and said to the dazed Guo Jia, "Sir, please get some sleep first. I'll go into the city to get the medicine!"

Guo Jia came to his senses, sat up from the couch, gathered his clothes, and said, "I'll go with you!"

"What are you going to do? Just go get the medicine!"

"I'm going to see King Tang!"
