Chapter 1188
After a long while, Xu Da finally came to his senses and couldn't help sighing.
"Less than two months? So this is what it feels like to know when you're going to die!"
Xu Da felt bad when he learned that he had less than two months to live, but fortunately he was not a fragile person.
After all, he was a general who had fought on the battlefield for decades. After a brief period of strange emotions, he quickly adjusted himself.
After looking at Wei Wu with eyes full of curiosity and exploration, Xu Da turned directly to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Brother, because I'm dying, you want me to take a gamble. If I win, I can live a few more years, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed lightly, nodded and responded:
"Tian De, we brothers are all nearly sixty years old, and there are only a few who can speak. If you go, we..."
"..."
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Xu Da's expression froze and he fell silent.
But Xu Da's silence was not because he was afraid of death, but because he was affected by Zhu Yuanzhang's words and remembered the past.
When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. This was true for Zhu Yuanzhang, and so was Xu Da!
In fact, for Xu Da, his life was enough. He had worked hard from a commoner to the Duke of Wei in the Ming Dynasty.
He had experienced the days of not having enough food to eat, he had fought in the military and killed enemies, and he had also enjoyed wealth and glory.
He has no regrets in this life. To him, dying early or late makes no difference, and he doesn't really care.
Even if the treatment fails and he dies, it will only be two months earlier. In fact, this may be a good thing for him.
After all, if I don’t receive treatment, I will suffer from the pain for another two months, and the key is that I won’t be able to get out of bed.
He was a military general, but he did not die on the battlefield but was tortured to death in bed by illness. He was actually resisting this in his heart.
So after a brief silence, Xu Da raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:
"Brother, let my son Yun Gong come in!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed and he asked solemnly.
"Have you thought about it?"
“Don’t even think about it!”
Xu Da responded with a smile, and then continued:
"At least I can stay alive if I take a gamble, right? When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, we old brothers can still drink and have fun together in the future."
"Hahaha, okay, then we'll wait for you to get better and have some drinks with us, and then have your sister-in-law cook us some of her signature dishes!"
Hearing what Xu Da said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed and then turned to look towards the gate.
"Yun Gong, come in!"
Xu Yungong had been waiting outside the door for a long time and was getting a little impatient. He really wanted to know what was being said inside the room.
Just because of Zhu Yuanzhang's order, he not only could not go in, he didn't even dare to eavesdrop outside the door, and could only wait silently.
Now hearing Zhu Yuanzhang asking him to come in, Xu Yungong pushed the door open and entered the room without saying a word.
After Xu Yungong closed the door, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to speak:
"Yun Gong, your father has decided to receive treatment. The Duke of Zhenguo will tell you the treatment method next. Please listen."
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Xu Yungong was suddenly shocked and quickly turned to look at his father.
Just before he went out, he clearly heard that this method of treatment was risky and could be fatal.
He couldn't understand why his father chose to take a risky gamble when he could have continued living.
However, just when Xu Yungong was full of doubts, Xu Da on the bed also spoke.
"Gong'er, His Majesty has already explained the pros and cons of this treatment to me, but ultimately, I made the decision to undergo the treatment myself."
"No matter what the final result is, it's my own choice. I've fought for half my life, and I don't want to die in such a cowardly way."
"You are the eldest son of our Xu family. If I am destined to be unable to change the situation this time, you will be the one to take care of the Xu family in the future. Do you understand?"
