System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Old friends are falling away one after another, like leaves in the wind!"

Cao Cao sat on a chair, looking at the ancient tree with lush branches and leaves in the courtyard, slightly absent-minded.

"I'm getting older, so my brain isn't working as well anymore."

"It's only June, there are no fallen leaves outside."

Cao Ren, who was sitting on the side, looked up and said unhappily.

"..."

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and glanced at Cao Ren with some blame.

After getting older, Cao Cao finally retired.

After the defeat, he and those more loyal people have been engaged in the development work in a more comprehensive and specific depth by using their rich experience and professional tools to carefully restore the land and then put it into practical application.

Simply called farming.

He was a powerful figure in the first half of his life, and worked hard for the prosperity of the country in the second half of his life.

Boss Cao, it’s not easy!

Now that he has retired, the new emperor Dong Ying has ascended the throne and has treated them well, giving them some money every month. Thanks to the uniformly distributed land, they have no worries about food and clothing.

"Alas, I always thought Dong Zhuo had a good son, but I didn't expect that it was Dong Yu who had a good son."

"The land is state-owned and rent-free. Only he would dare to think of levying taxes based on the land he owns. However, with Daqian's national strength, no one dares to say anything. As long as everyone gets used to this, it can actually avoid many land annexation problems."

"But if this happens, the court's tax revenue will be reduced by a portion of the land rent. I don't know how he will solve this problem."

Cao Cao sighed and said with some emotion.

Speaking of which, he is still not optimistic about the future development of Daqian. After all, the land rent is low, so where will this funding gap be filled?

"This is not something you, assholes, should consider."

Xiahou Dun walked in in an official robe and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"Humph, what's wrong with ordinary people talking about state affairs?"

Cao Cao snorted in annoyance.

"Oh, look carefully, the Third Rank Minister of Revenue."

"I'm a third-rank official, and I'm here in your humble place. Don't you feel honored?"

Xiahou Dun pointed to his official robe and said with a proud look on his face.

"What the hell..."

Xiahou Yuan looked at his brother speechlessly.

"A younger brother is always a younger brother. Even if you are fifty years old, you are still a younger brother."

Xiahou Dun sat aside and smiled.

"I heard you were doing well in Penglai Province. It seems the rumors were true. You got a promotion right after you came back."

Cao Cao glanced at the official robe and frowned.

"That is!"

"You don't know, when I first landed in Penglai Province, I was completely stunned."

“I’ll never forget that scene!”

Xiahou Dun couldn't help but look nostalgic when he thought of his bravery back then.

"What's wrong?"

"What's in Penglai Province that scares you so much?"

Cao Ren came closer carrying a small stool, with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Obviously, as a general, he also regretted that he was unable to expand the territory and cultivate the land here.

"Just like... primitive people, some even use leaves to cover their faces."

"I led a thousand men and took on an enemy force of 50,000. The enemy fell to their knees and screamed in despair. It was just like 50,000 Meng Des fighting a thousand Lu Bu."

Xiahou Dun gave an analogy to everyone.

"Are you polite?"

Cao Cao asked with a dark face and depressed.

"In that battle, I killed four to five hundred people alone!"

"I crouched down and swung the big knife in my hand, and everyone screamed."

Xiahou Dun gestured excitedly.

"Yuan Rang, I strongly suspect that you have been playing me the whole time you were with me."

"I've been so good to you, and this is how you repay me?"

"Follow me and you'll be captured in every way. Follow him, Dong Yu, and you'll kill anyone who stands in your way."

Cao Cao's face grew darker and darker, and he asked the question that had been buried in his heart for many years.

"Ugh."

"How could you miss me like that?"

"Meng De, let me put it this way. If you were tall like that, you would look like a giant compared to them."

"Just imagine what it would be like if Lu Bu hit you, and you'll understand why I'm so fierce."

Xiahou Dun sighed and began to explain.

He didn't explain when he came back before so that he could show off better.

Now that I am older, I don’t care so much about false reputation, so I told him the reason.

"So short?"

Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others couldn't help but look at Cao Cao.

"..."

"Don't look at me!"

"What's wrong with me being short?"

Cao Cao became anxious and shouted angrily.

Cao Cao was so angry that he felt dizzy and passed out.

"Mengde!"

“Meng De!!”

"Oh no! Meng De is mentally ill. Hurry, carry him back to the house. I'm going to find Hua Tuo's son, Hua Liao."

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan immediately came over, while Xiahou Dun quickly walked out of the yard.

With his status, he was able to invite Hua Liao to treat Cao Cao.

With the death of Hua Tuo, the only two greatest doctors in the world were Hua Liao and the imperial physician Dong Feng.

It might be difficult for him to invite an imperial physician, but Hua Liao could.

Soon, Hua Liao followed Xiahou Dun in a carriage to Cao Cao's house.

Madam Ding, Madam Bian, Cao Ang, Cao Zhang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others gathered around, their faces full of worry.

Without so many fights, Cao Cao lived a happy life. At least the important people around him were still there.

"Divine Doctor Hua, hurry up and take a look at Meng De."

Xiahou Dun said to Hua Liao anxiously.

Although he always likes to tease Cao Cao on weekdays, when something really happens, he is the only one he can count on.

Otherwise, how could Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan and others who had little money hire the great doctor Hua?

"My father once told me about Cao Cao's illness."

"After my diagnosis, I found that his condition had deteriorated to a very serious level."

"I'm afraid I only have a few days to live."

Hua Liao frowned and said after some diagnosis.

"Dr. Hua... Dr. Hua, just tell me... whether you can cure it or not."

Mrs. Ding looked at Hua Liao with hope.

"It's not incurable, but we'd have to split his skull open with an axe, remove the mass in his brain, and then sew it back together."

"Originally, I didn't plan to treat him. After all, he scolded my father and drove him away last time. But doctors have a kind heart, and I feel I can't just ignore him."

Hua Liao said seriously.

"Don't open the dipper, don't open the dipper!!"

"You go, you go!!"

The unconscious Cao Cao suddenly woke up and shouted repeatedly.

"Alas... take care of yourself."

After being rejected by Cao Cao, Hua Liao looked at Cao Cao's head with some regret and reluctance.

What a great medical experience, just missed out.

He still remembered that his father's biggest regret before he left was that he failed to kill Cao Cao.

"Madam...my sons...although I haven't achieved anything great, I am extremely happy to have you by my side."

"After I leave... you should erect a tombstone for me and write 'Han... General Zhengxi... Tomb of Cao Hou...'"

Cao Cao never forgot his childhood ideals until his death.

"Then you are not lying?"

Cao Ren couldn't help but speak.

"You...you...ah!"

Cao Cao's face turned red, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and died.

"father!"

"father!!"

"Uncle Zixiao, you pissed my dad off to death!"

Cao Cao's sons were all dumbfounded, and then they all glared at Cao Cao.
