Chapter 299 An unjust act.
Cherry hesitated for a while, then lowered her head and said:
"I have no self-respect. I once secretly decided to spend my life with General Huangfu Lin... We originally planned to get married at the end of the year. But now, General Shangguan has just passed away, and General Huangfu has to observe mourning for General Shangguan, so they can't get married. But I'm already pregnant, and I really can't wait any longer..."
"Ah, you and Huangfu Lin, have made eye contact?"
Ye Kun was surprised and happy.
This is really unexpected. Huangfu Lin is now the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou navy, in charge of more than 30,000 naval troops. He does not despise Yingtao's background and is willing to marry her.
You know, Cherry used to be a brothel girl in Hirano County.
Yingtao blushed: "I am lucky that General Huangfu does not despise me. Originally, General Huangfu wanted to tell Lord Ye in person, but there has been a war since the New Year, so there is no chance."
"Huangfu Lin, this bastard, is so lucky that he actually won the heart of Miss Cherry!"
Ye Kun laughed and said, "Cherry, don't worry. I will write a letter and send someone to escort you to Tianmen County to marry Huangfu Lin. I will tell Huangfu Lin that she has to make an emergency decision and she doesn't need to mourn for Shangguan Jifu anymore."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye."
Yingtao knelt down and cried, "If it weren't for Lord Ye who saved me from the sea of suffering, I wouldn't be where I am today. Lord Ye's kindness in giving me a new life is something I will never be able to repay."
A prostitute has now become the wife of the admiral of the navy. This is Cherry's fate and Ye Kun's cultivation.
Ye Kun helped Yingtao up: "Yingtao, I recognize you as my sister, and I will give you a wedding gift. You will stay with Huangfu Lin from now on, assist him well, take care of your husband and children, and you will definitely be a first-rank lady in the future."
Cherry was overjoyed when she heard this, and bowed and thanked him again: "Cherry greets brother!"
Ye Kun laughed, arranged the wedding procession and dowry, and asked Guan Yafu to send Cherry to Tianmen County on his behalf to get married.
The work of the Women's Soldiers' Song and Dance Troupe will be taken care of by someone else.
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Ye Kun came to Deyang.
The governor of Deyang, along with officials of all levels, accompanied Wei Caiqin and Wei Ning to welcome them outside the city.
After not seeing each other for many days, Wei Ning looks much better.
Wei Caiqin also recovered her spirit.
Wei Ning built two mansions here.
One is for himself and the other is for his younger sister Wei Caiqin.
Even though Wei Ning was in poverty and had lost his father Wei Dingshan's Jingzhou foundation, the Wei family's money was still there, with mountains of gold and silver.
After listening to the government affairs report, Ye Kun came to Wei Ning's house to reminisce about the past.
Wei Ning smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Ye was short of money, so he confiscated all the family property in Hanzhong and killed the seven major thieves. I do have some savings here, but I guess I won't be able to spend them all in this lifetime. Lord Ye, I will support you a little."
"Brother, since we are uncles, please don't call me Lord Ye."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Keep your money first. When I need money, I will come to borrow from you."
Wei Ning is now a wealthy man and poses no threat to Ye Kun.
So Ye Kun felt very friendly when he met Wei Ning.
"That's fine. When you have no money to spend, just write to me." Wei Ning nodded and asked, "Is there anything important that you need to do in Deyang this time?"
"No, I just want to come and see Big Brother and keep Caiqin company."
"Then stay a few more days and we'll have a few drinks." Wei Ning laughed.
Wei Caiqin's face also flushed, and her eyes were full of love.
Ye Kun settled down with peace of mind, and every day he took Wei Caiqin to inspect the production situation in various places in Deyang.
When they returned home in the evening, the couple naturally became close and talked freely about their separation.
Ma Zhao took drastic measures to launch reforms in Deyang, cracking down on the local gentry, reclaiming land, building new villages, and redistributing the land.
Disobedient gentry were either beheaded or sent to hard labor camps.
Deyang is also a small place with a population of 70,000 to 80,000, making it easier to advance the work.
In just seven or eight days, Ma Zhao had clearly counted the population and land area in Deyang area.
At the end of August, the miracle doctor Mr. Xia Tuo suddenly came to Deyang and asked to see Ye Kun.
Ye Kun had always respected Xia Tuo, so he immediately met him and asked, "Mr. Xia, you came from Chengdu. What's the urgent matter?"
Xia Tuo bowed and sighed, "Thank you, Lord Ye, for taking me in over the past two years. I have learned a lot of medical knowledge from you, and it has broadened my horizons. Please accept my greetings."
"Mr. Xia, why do you say that? You are the miracle doctor. You have trained a large number of talents for our Yizhou. I should be the one thanking you."
Ye Kun hurriedly returned the greeting.
Xia Tuo has been following Ye Kun for nearly two years.
Over the past two years, Xia Tuo and Ye Kun's military doctors have been constantly discussing and communicating with each other, and both have benefited greatly.
Xia Tuo learned strict disinfection procedures, nursing procedures, and how to distill alcohol and control it at around 75 degrees.
They also learned to use the bamboo stethoscope, improved wound suture techniques, and made great progress in treating trauma and setting bones.
She also took in a female apprentice, taught her how to use forceps, and knew that babies with jaundice needed to be exposed to the sun.
The military doctors and folk doctors on Ye Kun's side also learned many folk remedies and prescriptions from Xia Tuo, learned anesthesia techniques, and enriched the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
Some surgical procedures were also taught by Xia Tuo, and everyone worked together to study and improve them.
During this period, Xia Tuo also led the famous doctors in Yizhou to compile an encyclopedia of medicine: Da Ding Qian Jin Fang.
It can be said that when Ye Kun and Xia Tuo met, they complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses and brought out the best in each other.
Xia Tuo held Ye Kun's hand and sighed:
"Xiahou Chang is my fellow villager. He recently sent a merchant to bring a letter to me, asking me to go to Xuchang to treat his father. Moreover, Xiahou Chang has detained my entire family in Xuchang. If I don't go, my family will die. I am here to ask Lord Ye to show mercy and let me go back to save my family's lives."
Zhuge Feng was shocked when he heard this, and rushed to say, "In that case, please go to the posthouse to rest first, Mr. Xia, and wait for us to arrange a farewell."
Xia Tuo nodded and left.
Zhuge Feng clasped his fists, invited Ye Kun to the back hall, and whispered:
"Lord Ye, Mr. Xia Tuo has been in our army for a long time and knows our army's strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, Mr. Xia's medical skills are unparalleled. He has learned the techniques of our military doctors and his medical skills are even more sophisticated. We must not let him go to Xuchang! If he falls into Xiahou Chang's hands, Xiahou Chang will be even more powerful and the morale of the army will be greatly boosted!"
Ye Kun frowned: "But Xiahou Chang has detained Mr. Xia's entire family, what can we do?"
"Temporarily delay Xia Tuo and prevent him from going. Xiahou Chang will be angry if he can't wait any longer and will kill Xia Tuo's family. Then Mr. Xia Tuo will be homeless and hate Xiahou Chang so much that he will naturally stay in Yizhou and be loyal to you."
"No." Ye Kun shook his head decisively:
"Xia Tuo is both my teacher and my friend. It is unjust to detain Xia Tuo and let Xia Houchang kill Xia Tuo's family. I would rather die than do such a cruel thing!"
Zhuge Feng tried to persuade him again and again, but Ye Kun was as hard as stone.
A gentleman does something and does not do something.
Moreover, Ye Kun also didn't believe that Xia Tuo alone could change the situation in the world.
Zhuge Feng smiled bitterly: "I hope that Lord Ye's kindness and righteousness will be rewarded."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "Master Zhuge, there is no need to say anything more. Please invite Mr. Xia to come. I will give him a farewell banquet."
