Liu Zhang's feet were still hanging in the air and he turned to look at the speaker.
He is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with an older face, but his eyes are bright and bright.
Liu Zhang was a little confused, could this be Zhang Zhongjing? Too young, right?
However, since the other party called Liu Zhang, he could not ignore him and turn around to salute.
"I am none other than Liu Zhang. I wonder who I am following?"
The middle-aged man also quickly stepped forward and bowed his hands in return to Liu Zhang.
"My surname is Zhang Mingji and my courtesy name is Zhongjing. I heard from Her Royal Highness the Princess in the harem that the general is waiting for me at the palace gate."
Unexpectedly, it was actually Zhang Zhongjing, and Liu Zhang bowed again.
"I didn't expect Master Zhang to be so young, but Liu Zhang is so ignorant!"
Zhang Ji also bowed his hand to Liu Zhang in return, and the courtesy was very thoughtful.
"The Queen Mother has given you too much praise. I dare not be careless about the Queen Mother. I made the Queen Mother wait for so long. I am really sorry!"
Liu Zhang chuckled and shook his head, showing no displeasure at all.
"It doesn't matter. Sir Zhang is treating the Queen Mother. This is a big deal."
After a few words of conversation, Zhang Ji also roughly understood Liu Zhang's personality, which was relatively forthright and informal.
"I wonder what's going on here, General Xun? Is he feeling unwell?"
"This is not about my subordinates. I wonder if Mr. Zhang still remembers Huang Zhong."
Zhang Ji frowned and fell into deep thought.
Huang Zhong, he is really not very impressed. He sees too many patients every day!
"Ten thousand year ginseng!"
Seeing that Zhang Ji couldn't remember, Liu Zhang said four words.
"Oh! I remembered that he once brought his son to me for treatment!"
The four words “ten thousand year old ginseng” are so shocking! Zhang Ji remembered it immediately.
"Master Zhang, ten thousand-year-old ginseng is simply appalling! Such treasures cannot be possessed by mortals!"
Seeing Liu Zhang's questioning look, Zhang Ji also sighed, feeling quite helpless.
"Hey! The general doesn't know something! That Huang Zhong's son was born with a weak body! It is not difficult to treat physical weakness, but his son is not only weak, but also unable to warm up! Once he takes the tonic, he will have a violent reaction, and he will continue to Fever, vomiting, even fainting!"
"This is the first time I have encountered this kind of disease. I think there may be a chance of survival if you use a quick and powerful medicine to treat it! But this kind of quick and powerful medicine is rare in the world, and only the rich and powerful will not get it!"
"I originally advised them not to waste their efforts. After all, with Huang Zhong's situation, it is impossible to obtain such precious medicinal materials! Even if Huang Zhong exhausts his family resources, they can only barely let Huang Xu live a few more years!"
"What a pity. This couple has a deep love for each other and they never want to give up!"
"If I told them that there was no cure, the couple would definitely take Huang Xu everywhere to seek medical treatment! I couldn't bear that Huang Xu died while seeking medical treatment, so I made up the Thousand Years Ginseng to give them a glimmer of hope!"
So that’s it! Liu Zhang understood now. He had always felt that a medical sage like Zhang Zhongjing who would leave his name to future generations would definitely not talk nonsense and talk about things like ten thousand year old ginseng!
"Master Zhang, what were Huang Xu's symptoms earlier?"
Zhang Ji frowned and fell into thought. It's been too long, more than ten years have passed, and Zhang Ji has to think about it carefully.
After a long time, Zhang Ji finally recalled.
"When I first met him, this child was swollen all over. He looked strong but was actually very weak. What impressed me most was his pale face and depressed mental state!"
Liu Zhang nodded, and two words suddenly flashed in his mind, anemia.
In this day and age, anemia is almost a matter of waiting for death, and there is no way to cure it.
"Master Zhang, do you still remember the recipe you gave Huang Xu?"
Zhang Zhongjing was very happy this time and blurted it out directly.
"I judge that he is deficient in qi and blood. The prescription contains ginseng, dangshen, astragalus, rehmannia, angelica, and white peony..."
"Among these medicinal materials, ginseng is the most important. If we can obtain century-old ginseng, we may be able to save Huang Xu's life."
"century?"
Liu Zhang immediately expressed doubts. Not to mention how many century-old ginseng he had bought, Huang Zhong gave him three as a gift!
"Master Zhang, century-old ginseng is not a rare thing! I gave the three century-old ginseng plants in my house to Huang Zhong! But Huang Xu can only survive these years, and there is no sign of improvement!"
Zhang Ji was amused by Liu Zhang's words and showed some disdain.
"General Hou, a true century-old ginseng is rare in the world! As far as I know, there is only one in the imperial palace, and I heard it was passed down by the great ancestor!"
"The century-old ginseng that the general has seen is generally thirty-year-old ginseng. Now called century-old ginseng, it is generally less than thirty years old! Some are even less than twenty years old!"
Liu Zhang did not blame Zhang Ji for his contempt, but was deeply shocked.
It turns out that what I thought was too simple! I thought century-old ginseng was everywhere, but I didn’t expect there was only one! Still in the palace!
"Master Zhang, if you get that century-old ginseng plant, can you cure Huang Xu's disease?"
Zhang Ji never expected that Liu Zhang would ask such an innocent question, so he couldn't help but shake his head.
"General Hou, that ginseng plant is still cultivated by the royal family, how could it be possible to obtain such a valuable treasure!"
Liu Zhang was also a little angry. This machine is really an ink stain. You don’t care how I got it!
"Master Zhang, you don't have to think about this, just tell me if you can cure Huang Xu's disease!"
Liu Zhang's tone was very bad, which immediately made Zhang Ji very disgusted.
Zhang Ji has a special personality. He never treats patients differently from the powerful and the common people, and is very approachable.
Similarly, Zhang Ji is not afraid of power. He has the kind of character where others respect me and I respect others.
Now Zhang Ji kindly reminded Liu Zhang that that ginseng plant had been cultivated by the royal family for nearly four hundred years, how could it be given to you?
The more Zhang Ji thought about it, the angrier he became. Unexpectedly, Liu Zhang was not only ungrateful, but also blamed himself!
"I just said that if you use strong medicine to stimulate it, there may be a chance of survival. Don't you understand, General?"
"you!"
Liu Zhang was really angry now. What kind of attitude does this machine have! I had been waiting for him for a long time, but I just asked him one more question and he said such nasty words!
Facing Liu Zhang, who was several times stronger than himself, pointing at him angrily, Zhang Ji did not show any fear, but instead glared at Liu Zhang.
"What, General Hou, do you want me to teach you a lesson?"
Liu Zhang really wanted to punch Zhang Ji to death, but thinking that this would cause losses to the entire human race, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
"It's not enough to say anything, please do as you please!"
Liu Zhang didn't want to look at him again, so he turned around and left. If he stayed any longer, he was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to help but beat him up.
"The courage of an ordinary man!"
Zhang Ji showed a hint of contempt, but was not moved by Liu Zhang's forbearance to him.
This is no wonder Zhang Ji, he is such a weird person. If he were not like this, could he have resigned from the position of Changsha governor just because he could not heal the people? If it weren't for a single person, would it be possible to go through all kinds of hardships and write [Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases]?
Liu Zhang did not hold any grudge against Zhang Ji because of this. In his opinion, the two of them would not have any intersection in the future.
Liu Zhang followed his path of fighting for hegemony, and Zhang Ji followed his path of practicing medicine!
The worst thing is, we will never interact with each other until we die!
