Chapter 198 A Master Internal Medicine Doctor Uncovers a Poisoning Attempt! Thieves, Don't Harm
"My lord, look! The venerable Master Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing, has arrived!"
Dian Wei's gruff voice startled Ji Ping, causing his hands to tremble violently.
Even the poisoned needles hidden in the sleeve's lining were almost exposed.
Cao Cao wasn't stupid.
If you give Cao Cao the medicine directly, he will definitely have someone test it.
Therefore, the correct way to do this was to use a needle to inject the poison into Cao Cao's forehead.
Besides, when Cao Cao was poisoned with a needle, there was still a certain delay before the poison took effect.
This delay was enough for Ji Ping to escape safely from the Sikong Mansion.
But now, Dian Wei's sudden appearance has put immense psychological pressure on Ji Ping.
"Mr. Zhang has arrived?"
"Please come quickly!"
Cao Cao was very excited.
It's not for any other reason.
It was because Zhang Zhongjing was someone Su Yu had sent intelligence agents to Jingnan to find a few days earlier!
As a time traveler, Su Yu knew that Zhang Zhongjing was a master of internal medicine in this era.
The Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases is a masterpiece that must be read by later generations in the field of internal medicine.
If Cao Cao were to seek out Hua Tuo to treat his headaches, Hua Tuo, being a surgical expert, would certainly have used an axe to force Cao Cao to have his brain opened.
Hmm, it's not that Hua Tuo's method couldn't cure Cao Cao.
However, the probability that Cao Cao would die as a result is also quite high!
The surgical techniques used at the end of the Han Dynasty were still in their infancy and far inferior to those of later periods.
Therefore, it seems that for treating headaches, it's better to consult Zhang Zhongjing than Hua Tuo.
Zhang Zhongjing was originally an internist, and he was the person in the entire Han Dynasty most likely to cure headaches.
However, if Su Yu receives any news about Hua Tuo in the future, he will definitely have his intelligence guards bring Hua Tuo over as soon as possible.
A renowned doctor, traveling far and wide?
No, you don't want to travel around. You need to stay in Xuchang, teach your apprentices, open a clinic, and promote your medical skills!
Speaking of Zhang Zhongjing, being a doctor was originally just a side job for him, but he inadvertently made a name for himself throughout the ages.
Zhang Zhongjing's main job was serving as the Prefect of Changsha in Jingnan.
Yes, you heard right, this is the very place where Sun Jian raised his army.
When Liu Biao first entered Jingzhou, in order to stabilize southern Jingzhou, he appointed Zhang Zhongjing as the governor of Changsha.
However, after Liu Biao consolidated his power in Jingzhou, he became dissatisfied with the local gentry in Jingnan who were demanding exorbitant prices.
As a member of the Zhang family in Jingnan, Zhang Zhongjing also became a target of Liu Biao.
Using his position as the governor of Jingzhou, he made things difficult for Zhang Zhongjing in various ways.
In a fit of anger, Zhang Zhongjing offered his resignation to Liu Biao and opened a medical clinic instead.
As the top official at the municipal level, he resigns without hesitation; that's just Zhang's temperament.
The intelligence officer, acting on Su Yu's orders, located Zhang Zhongjing and invited him to travel north to Xuchang.
Zhang Zhongjing was initially unwilling.
But the intelligence officer told him...
Once you go to Xuchang, Cao Sikong will definitely help you carry forward your medical skills.
In addition, we also have the Yanzhou Daily, which is distributed throughout the Central Plains!
Your medical skills, Dr. Zhang, are absolutely the best in the Han Dynasty! (No doubt about it, even the intelligence guards would praise Hua Tuo as the best in the Han Dynasty if they met him.)
Dr. Zhang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Get on board quickly, the carriage is all ready for you!
Zhang Zhongjing accepted the intelligence guard's invitation.
After all, he was a member of the Han Dynasty's officialdom and was quite concerned about the changing times.
If they could gain the support of Cao Cao, the powerful figure in the Han Dynasty court, the Zhang family's ancestral medical skills would surely conquer the world even further!
You idiot Liu Biao, you look down on my Zhang family, don't you?
If you ever get a serious illness in the future and can't find anyone to treat you, you'll regret it!
Actually, Zhang Zhongjing arrived in the outskirts of Xuchang yesterday.
However, due to the need to treat a civilian on the way, they were delayed until this morning before finally entering the city.
"Zhang Zhongjing?"
"How come it's this guy?"
Ji Ping's expression changed drastically.
He turned around and, sure enough, saw Zhang Zhongjing's old face.
"Hey, isn't this Little Gigi?"
"Are you treating Cao Sikong's illness?"
Zhang Zhongjing glanced at Ji Ping with a mocking expression.
The two actually knew each other.
However, judging from Ji Ping's clenched teeth, it's not hard to tell that he doesn't really have any good feelings towards Zhang Zhongjing.
Ji Ping was also skilled in internal medicine, which overlapped with Zhang Zhongjing's expertise.
During his travels, Ji Ping met Zhang Zhongjing in Changsha, and the two had a heated discussion about medicine.
Neither of them could convince the other, so they decided to have a contest of wits.
As a result, Ji Ping lost to Zhang Zhongjing, and even lost one game in a row!
Zhang Zhongjing was a year older than Ji Ping, and after winning, he called Ji Ping "Little Ji Ji".
(There are two versions of Zhang Zhongjing's age: one is that he was born in 140, and the other is that he was born in 150. Recent historical materials tend to suggest that he was born in 140.)
The nickname "Little Jiji" made Jiping feel extremely ashamed.
However, before he could improve his medical skills and compete with Zhang Zhongjing again, he couldn't wait to return to Xuchang to accept Fu Wan's invitation to plan something important together.
Unexpectedly, not long after, the two met again in Xuchang!
At this moment, Ji Ping has a rather "enemies on a narrow road" perspective.
"Little Gigi, let me see what kind of treatment you're using."
Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Both were masters of internal medicine, but Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills were slightly better than Ji Ping's. How could he not see the difference between Ji Ping's abilities?
Tie Cao Cao up to treat his headache.
It seems... this treatment approach is wrong, isn't it?
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing remained silent for a long time, and that there was a hint of denial in his eyes.
Cao Cao also became wary.
Although Ji Ping was known as a divine physician, he also had a close relationship with the Liu Han imperial family.
Whether this person is trustworthy remains to be seen.
Zhang Zhongjing, on the other hand, was recommended by Ziyi and had no vested interests with the Liu Han imperial family, so he could be trusted.
Seeing that cold sweat seemed to be seeping from Ji Ping's forehead, Cao Cao silently took two steps back.
Zhang Zhongjing suddenly stood on end, his hair and beard bristling, and pointed at Ji Ping, saying:
"Jiping, take out the needle you've hidden in your sleeve and let this old man see it."
Ji Ping dared not actually take out the needle.
His sleeves were specially designed with needles hidden in the sleeve lining so they wouldn't puncture the sleeve or poke his arm.
But if Zhang Zhongjing were to take out the needle now, he could tell at a glance whether it was poisoned!
If Cao Cao had just suspected that Ji Ping was up to no good, then...
Now, Cao Cao is absolutely certain that Ji Ping's intentions are definitely detrimental to him!
suddenly.
Ji Ping put down the medicine box, pulled out a hidden dagger from his other sleeve, and lunged straight at Cao Cao!
He had already planned ahead: if the poisoning failed, he would simply resort to close-range assassination!
As a physician, he certainly had the opportunity to come into close contact with Cao Cao.
For example, right now, Cao Cao has nowhere to escape!
Fortunately, Cao Cao had been alert and quickly took two steps back.
However, Sikong's casual clothes were too loose, and they tripped Cao Cao.
Just as Yoshihira's dagger was about to fall.
Due to the distance, Dian Wei was too late to save the emperor.
At the critical moment.
A voice, having shed its former immaturity and gradually grown into a mature and upright figure, resounded:
"Stop harming my father!!!"
