I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1970 - 1972: Brothers, Wives, and a Brother-in-Law
"Master." You approached Hua Tuo and respectfully said.
"Awake, are you." Hua Tuo’s face still bore the same gentle smile as a spring breeze.
You sat right next to Hua Tuo and said, "Your disciple’s wife is still sick, and yet you’ve come here to see patients."
Hua Tuo tilted his head to look at you, and solemnly said, "To save her, we must find a person."
"Who?"
"Poison Master Jia Xu!"
Your eyebrows twitched, and you immediately asked, "Where is he?"
"Yi State."
"Yi State, Liu Zhang?"
"Liu Bei."
Upon hearing the name Liu Bei, you laughed. Being able to enter Yi State, it seems this guy finally joined forces with Zhu Geliang. However, to you, Liu Bei has always been just Liu Bei. Even after regaining your memories, you’re just as arrogant and overbearing as before, for no other reason than you are Li Muyun!
"What do you plan to do next? Are you going to continue wasting time in this place?"
Hua Tuo’s question directly struck a chord with you, but what showed on your face was an indifferent smile: "The fighting capability of this island country’s people is extremely poor, the living standards of the people are very low; not to mention basic needs, their average lifespan doesn’t even reach thirty. Here, human lives are as fleeting as the cherry blossoms of spring, gone in an instant. This place is vastly different from what I imagined initially. Before regaining my memory, I indeed considered unifying Japan, but now I’m afraid I neither have the heart nor the time. However, I intend to leave Zhang Cheng behind to unify Japan on my behalf."
Hua Tuo nodded, clearly agreeing with your idea.
"Master, let’s go back. The people of the Nine Provinces are waiting for me."
Hua Tuo laughed.
Then you added, "Oh, before that, we need to go to a place first."
"Where?"
"Youzhou!"
To go to Youzhou, you did not return to the fishing port but personally led two hundred trusted aides, directly entering the Xiema Country from the Ixie Kingdom. Before leaving Japan, you had to meet Japan’s King, Fusang.
Hua Tuo did not accompany you, as he decided to stay in the Ixie Kingdom temporarily. On the one hand, to treat and care for Himiko, and on the other, he wanted to understand the prescriptions those Wu People took away from their homeland years ago. During this period, he also planned to set up a medical clinic to teach and impart medical knowledge.
Fusang was destined to be a tragic figure. That night, he was still rolling with several white-skinned women, and the next day when people got up, they were shocked to find Fusang hanging high outside the gate of the Stone Fortress, his limbs severed, leaving only the **, with a stone hanging on it.
No one understood the meaning behind this, nor did anyone delve deeper, for three days later, a terrifyingly powerful army invaded Xiema Country, which perished in just a day.
When news of Xiema Country’s demise reached you, you were already aboard a battleship crafted by Han People, crossing the Fusang Sea—though this name was posthumously given by later generations.
Ten days later, you landed with two hundred trusted aides in Liaoxi County.
Before nearing land, you noticed a dozen or so small boats had surrounded you, all loaded with fully armed navy soldiers. At this moment, one of them shouted towards your battleship, "Everyone on the ship, come out!"
You slowly stepped from the cabin onto the deck, standing proudly at the ship’s prow, your battle robe billowing in the sea breeze.
"This..."
At the moment you appeared, the previously arrogant person showed an extremely shocked expression.
"I, I didn’t see wrong, did I?"
It seems this General did recognize you.
You turned your head to look at that person, and then a familiar smile appeared on your face, "I wondered who it was, it’s you, Tiger Boy! It’s only been a year and you’ve bulked up quite a bit."
"Lord! It truly is the Lord!"
In both appearance and manner of speech, this man was identical to the image of you in Tiger Boy’s memory. He immediately jumped from the boat into the water, desperately swimming towards your battleship. When he was brought aboard by your trusted aides, he knelt directly before you, tears streaming down, "Lord! We’ve finally found you!"
Not long after, a homing hawk was released from Tiger Boy’s ship, swiftly shooting towards the Northwest, exceedingly fast.
"Get up, a grown man crying like this is disgraceful."
"Yes, sir!" Tiger Boy stood up hurriedly. Though his enlistment wasn’t short, there were few in Youzhou’s two hundred thousand troops who matched his seniority. That’s because Tiger Boy was a Special Combat Soldier personally trained by you, now integrated into all your units, serving as the foundational stone of the unit’s most critical officers.
From Tiger Boy, you learned that during the more than a year of your absence, Zhao Yun and Yuan Xi unified the North Korean Peninsula and swiftly defeated Goguryeo, excellently completing the task you assigned him at the time.
Now, Zhao Yun commands nearly eighty thousand cavalrymen, whose terrifying combat power even makes the battle-hardened Xianbei People awed and fearful.
With just Youzhou’s military power and Zhao Yun’s superb command ability, breaking through Youzhou to capture Jizhou would be a breeze, hence many people urged Zhao Yun to declare himself independent. However, Zhao Yun didn’t do so, and despite Yuan Xi and his generals’ repeated attempts to persuade him, they failed. In the time that followed, Zhao Yun only focused on continuously training cavalrymen and transporting war horses from Youzhou to Xuzhou.
Hearing Tiger Boy say this, you couldn’t help but smile broadly, saying, "Changshan Zhao Zilong, unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness!"
"Lord, you overpraise, this is within my duty!"
While speaking, a familiar voice reached your ears. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
While speaking, Zhao Yun, clad in silver armor, led a lightly equipped cavalry to swiftly arrive. You slowly stood up, smiling at Zhao Yun. After a year apart, you found Zhao Yun more mature and composed compared to before. Though some of his youthful spirit had faded from his brows, he exuded a sense of reliability and trust.
"Subordinate Zhao Yun, greets the Lord!"
"Greets the Lord!"
Everyone shouted in unison, the momentum was extraordinary.
You leaped, crossing dozens of meters over the sea, landing heavily in front of Zhao Yun, and extended your hand to help him up, "What a Zhao Yun, what a good brother-in-law!"
You patted Zhao Yun heavily on the shoulder a few times, your words and expression filled with infinite admiration and gratitude.
Indeed, you had put yourself in Zhao Yun’s shoes; if you were Zhao Yun, upon knowing your death, you would definitely establish your regime, not caring about those babies just born recently and a group of women.
