King Qiang's concubine, Luo Yan, heard that Daoist Zuo Boyu had been killed.
She was completely stunned, and then tears gushed out of her eyes.
Just as Shen Lang had guessed, she and Zuo Boyu had been cousins since they were young. She was also cousins with Shu Tingyu.
However, Shu Tingyu was a direct descendant, while Zuo Boyu and Luo Yan were concubines.
Just like in a large family, the position of the direct descendants was high and mighty, while the position of the concubines was awkward.
Therefore, Zuo Boyu went to the alchemy department of the Yin Yuan Association to learn art, poison, and so on.
Luo Yan was even worse off. She was sent to Qiang Emperor's side and became one of his women.
She and Zuo Boyu had an affair several years ago, and now they were just rekindling their old feelings.
She didn't know many secrets, and she didn't have any clear orders either. All she could do was hide by Emperor Qiang's side and cooperate.
In the past few years, she had not only been unhappy, she had been in so much pain that she wished she were dead.
This Qiang Emperor was simply a beast.
In the palaces of the other monarchs, the women fought to be the first to enter the monarch's room to serve them.
Take Ning Yuanxian of the State of Yue for example. His concubines were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. They all showed their talents and longed for the Monarch to come to their rooms. They even tried to curry favor with the eunuchs around the Monarch.
But in the Qiang Kingdom, these concubines were filled with a boundless fear of bedding men.
Every time, he would be riddled with scars and in excruciating pain.
In these ten years, many of the women King Qiang had stolen had already died.
Luo Yan also felt that her life was miserable. There was no hope at all, as if she was in hell.
At this time, Zuo Boyu arrived.
In an instant, it was like rain after a long drought.
Her life was once again filled with hope and light.
Zuo Boyu promised that he would definitely take her away from the abyss of suffering.
And now, her lover, Zuo Boyu, was actually dead!
It must be Shen Lang who killed him, it must be!
She endured the pain and rushed into the Qiang Palace. She knelt in front of the Qiang King and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, it must be Shen Lang who murdered Third Prince Aruhan. He killed my brother Zuo Boyu. Your Majesty, please uphold justice."
King Qiang was furious.
"Since you're injured, just lie down."
Luo Yan was infuriated. 'Aren't you the one who caused my injury?'
The crown prince of the Qiang Kingdom, Aruta, strode into the palace.
He had been dealing with the smallpox epidemic for the past few days.
To put it bluntly, it was to kill everyone who had contracted smallpox.
However, the more he killed, the more there were. In the end, he could only completely isolate them, not daring to kill anymore.
If this went on, the entire population of the Qiang Kingdom would be wiped out.
Moreover, the spread of smallpox was getting more and more intense, showing no signs of stopping.
The entire Qiang Kingdom was shrouded in a deathly aura, and countless Qiang people were in despair.
And at this time, even the Snow Mountain God Temple was helpless.
The Heavenly Gods they begged bitterly were unable to save their fates.
Many people speculated that this was because the Qiang people had killed too many people in the past few years.
That was why he received retribution.
The crown prince of the Qiang Kingdom was also very tall, around 1.9 meters. He wasn't as tall as the Qiang King, nor was he as tall as Princess Aru Nana.
He wasn't the eldest son either. King Qiang's eldest son had died of smallpox.
Now, Aluta's position as the crown prince of the Qiang Kingdom was as stable as Mount Tai. He had already contracted smallpox, so he wouldn't get it again.
"Father, another 3,000 people died today," Aruta said.
King Qiang's heart skipped a beat.
There were only a few hundred thousand people in the Qiang Kingdom.
If thousands of people died every day, they would all be dead in a few months.
Crown Prince Aluta said, "The ones who died before were all the old and weak. Now, even the young and strong are dying in droves. Our cavalry is also starting to die. We can't stop them at all."
King Qiang had a headache.
Smallpox had broken out every few years, but it hadn't been this serious.
Beside him, Luo Yan said, "It must be Shen Lang's fault. He's best at harming people. He killed tens of thousands of Pirate King Chou Tianwei's men in one fell swoop. It must be his scheme."
Crown Prince Aluta said, "Father, we can't go on like this. Even if we don't all die, we can't afford to lose half of our people."
Luo Yan said, "Your Majesty, didn't Shen Lang claim to be able to cure smallpox? Let him treat Nana. If he can't cure her within three days, it means he's lying. Kill him. "
This woman's hatred for Shen Lang really soared to the heavens. She was thinking of ways to get him killed.
Crown Prince Aluta said, "Your Majesty, I've heard that Shen Lang has some ability. Why don't we let him try?"
King Qiang said, "He actually dares to ask me to write a confession to the State of Yue's Monarch. He's courting death."
Crown Prince Aluta was furious. He said coldly, "So there's such a thing. I'll pull out his tongue and cut off one of his hands right now."
He appeared even angrier than King Qiang, because he had to have this attitude. After all, a son should die for a father's humiliation.
King Qiang waved his hand. Zuo Boyu was dead. Whether it was true or not, but Shen Lang kept saying that he could cure smallpox.
If this person died as well, there would be no hope.
But to ask him to write a confession to the State of Yue?
That was a fool's dream.
King Qiang had killed countless people. All these years, he had hit whoever he wanted.
After blackmailing the King of Yue, he blackmailed the King of Chu.
He was mighty and domineering.
And now he wants me to write a confession? He's courting death!
If not for the special circumstances, he would have chopped up Shen Lang and fed him to the dogs.
King Qiang hissed, "I've already said that if he doesn't kneel down and admit his mistake before dark and swallow his words, I'll pull out his tongue and cut off one of his hands. Then I'll make him obediently treat Nana."
Luo Yan said, "My elder brother, Zuo Boyu, managed to cure our youngest son within three days. If Shen Lang couldn't cure him within three days, it would mean that he was a swindler. It would mean that he had deceived the Great King and should be dismembered into ten thousand pieces."
Crown Prince Aluta said, "If he doesn't confess by sunset and obediently treat my sister's illness, I'll personally pull out his tongue."
King Qiang was a little tired and his head was a little dizzy.
Was it because he didn't sleep much last night?
But he often didn't sleep for days and nights, and nothing had happened to him.
"I'll take a nap first. When the sun sets, bring Shen Lang here."
Aluta said, "Yes!"
All the windows and doors were closed, and all the candles were extinguished.
King Qiang, Aluta, sat alone on the throne in the hall, sleeping with his eyes closed.
A moment later, a thunderous snoring sound rang out.
......
This cage was specially made to hold slaves.
The stench was overwhelming.
Fortunately, this group of people had not had much contact with the outside world and had not contracted smallpox because they had been locked up all this time.
But this place was practically hell on earth.
Shen Lang was alone in a cage.
As for these slaves, there were more than a dozen of them squeezed into a cage. There wasn't even a place to stand, let alone lie down.
They lacked clothes and food every day, and even water was not enough to drink.
These people were from the State of Yue, the State of Chu, and the Western Regions.
Every time the Qiang people went out to plunder, they would capture large numbers of slaves.
Men went to mine and died of exhaustion.
Women were used as tools for reproduction.
In short, both men and women were miserable.
The superiority of the Great Yan Dynasty could be seen at this time. Although the politics there were complicated and could even be described as dark, at least it was not without order.
But at the very least, it would not be chaotic, and it would not be like hell.
Every time the Qiang people captured slaves, at least two-thirds of them would die.
Shen Lang heard the voices of many slaves from the State of Yue and asked, "Which part of the State of Yue are you from?"
"Yellow Millet City."
"Myriad Mountain Region."
"White Night Region."
When Shen Lang heard these names, he could not help but frown.
These were all within the borders of the State of Yue, east of the Su clan's territory.
Because the Su clan's diplomatic efforts were so effective, the Qiang people did not enter to plunder. How could there be so many slaves from the State of Yue?
"How were you captured? Who captured you? "Shen Lang asked.
"The Three-Eyed Demon!"
"The Three-Eyed Demon!"
"Every year, the Three-Eyed Evil Bandit would go around robbing and capturing hundreds of people at a time, then selling us to the Qiang Kingdom."
Shen Lang was about to explode with anger when he heard this. His body trembled.
There was a shocking conspiracy going on here.
This matter was so serious that it should have reached the heavens.
The Three-Eyed Demon would rob hundreds of thousands of people every year.
This was a huge case.
But no one in the capital had heard of it, and no one talked about it.
The officials of Zhenyuan County and Western Heaven Province were all covering it up.
It was a huge conspiracy!
Shen Lang used his toes to think that the so-called great thief Three Eyed Evil was completely a bandit raised by the Su Clan.
In order to stabilize politics and prevent the Qiang people from entering the country to plunder, the Su clan disguised themselves as bandits and robbed the people of the State of Yue, then gave them to the Qiang King as slaves.
Don't come and rob me, I'll deliver myself to him.
No wonder the Qiang people had not come to plunder in recent years.
The Su clan deserved to die.
The governor of Myriad Mountain Region deserved to die. The governor of Zhenyuan County deserved to die. The governor of White Night Region deserved to die.
Even the governor of Western Heaven Province deserved to die.
Su Nan, this old thief, had no bottom line.
"Fellow villagers, do you farm or do you do something else?" Shen Lang asked.
"We farmed. Later, the fields were gone, so we worked in workshops and mines. Then, we were caught by the Three-Eyed Demon and sold to the Qiang Kingdom."
This method of advancing layer by layer was very experienced.
First, this group of people would leave the village, the fields, and the surrounding area.
Then, they would kidnap them disguised as bandits and give them to the Qiang King as slaves.
These people were innocent people of the State of Yue. Being slaves to the Qiang Kingdom meant certain death within a few years.
There was nothing more ugly in the world than this. The entire officialdom of Western Heaven Province was a cover.
That old thief, Su Nan, deserved to be cut into pieces.
The Su clan deserved to be exterminated by the royal family.
And the Qiang King, that beast of a man.
Su Nan, oh Su Nan, for the sake of your family's wealth, you kneel to the Qiang King. You have no bottom line.
Not only that, the Su clan's control over the officialdom of Western Heaven Province was completely beyond Shen Lang's imagination.
… …
The sun set.
A tall figure appeared in front of Shen Lang. He was the crown prince of the Qiang Kingdom, Aruta.
He was not as tall as the Qiang King, but he was still extremely muscular and full of explosive power.
In terms of martial arts, he was only below the Qiang King. Even Princess Aru Nana might not be his match.
This was because his teacher was first the Qiang King, then a top expert of the Snow Mountain Temple, the High Priest of the Sea of Misery.
He was an extremely mysterious person who rarely showed his face and only stayed in the temple at the peak of the snow mountain.
"People of Yue, are you the one who wants my father to write a confession?" Aruta said disdainfully.
At this moment, the slave in the cage next to him said, "Sir, please give me some water. I'm dying of thirst, I'm dying of thirst …"
Aruta's gaze turned cold.
He stepped forward, lifted the iron cage, and smashed it on the ground.
Then, he raised it again and smashed it on the ground.
This person was really born with divine strength.
This iron cage, together with the dozen people inside, probably weighed more than two thousand pounds.
He actually lifted it just like that.
Such divine strength was really rare.
After smashing it a few times, the dozen slaves in the iron cage were covered in wounds and blood.
"Who wants water?"
All the slaves trembled in fear, not daring to say another word.
This was how the Qiang people treated their slaves. They were worse than pigs and dogs.
"Drag Shen Lang out and take him to the palace!"
Aruta ordered.
Immediately, two warriors brought Shen Lang out of the cage and walked towards the palace.
… …
The Qiang King wanted to sleep, so the windows were tightly shut, the doors were closed, and all the candles were extinguished.
The entire hall was pitch-black.
The Qiang King was still sleeping on the throne in the hall, snoring like thunder.
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince, Aruta, brought Shen Lang in, but did not dare to wake the Qiang King up. Instead, he waited quietly by the side.
At this moment, Luo Yan rushed over again. She only had one thought now, and that was to kill Shen Lang.
The Qiang King's martial arts were too strong. Even if no one made a sound, he quickly woke up with someone standing by the side.
Aruta said, "Father, Shen Lang has been brought here."
The Qiang King said, "The sun has set. I have already given you a chance. Shen Lang, kneel down and confess to me. I can give you a chance to cure Aru Nana and prove your ability. "
Luo Yan said from the side, "If you cannot cure Aru Nana of smallpox in three days, you will be a liar who deceived the King. You will be torn to pieces."
The Qiang King said calmly, "Kneel down and confess! Otherwise, you will be punished. "
He really did not want to punish Shen Lang. After all, he might be the only one who knew how to cure smallpox, but the Qiang King's dignity could not be tarnished.
Aruta suddenly pulled out his dagger.
As long as the Qiang King gave the order, he would cut off Shen Lang's tongue and one of his hands.
"Kneel …" The Qiang King said coldly, "I don't want to say it a third time. Light the fire, it's pitch black!"
Aruta said, "Father, I will punish the person who disrespected you now."
"Shen Lang, you do not need to speak from now on, because your tongue is going to be cut off."
Then, he took the dagger and walked towards Shen Lang.
At that moment!
Someone suddenly exclaimed.
"Ah … ah …"
The female servant pointed at the Qiang King's face.
They could not see it in the darkness, but now that they had lit the candles, seeing the Qiang King was like seeing a ghost.
Aruta was also stunned.
Luo Yan was also stunned.
In fact, they instinctively took a few steps back.
All they saw was that the Qiang King's entire body was covered in blisters.
Never seen before!
It was completely explosive.
Compared to any smallpox or chicken pox, there were more secret manuals, more numerous, and more terrifying.
At that moment, the Qiang King looked like a ghost.
The Qiang King was shocked.
"Light the fire, light the fire."
Following the order, countless servants lit all the candles while trembling with fear.
Instantly, the entire hall was brightly lit.
The Qiang King came down from his throne and rushed to a large mirror to take a look.
It gave him a huge fright.
Was there a human or a ghost inside?
His entire body was covered in blisters.
This … this was the most violent smallpox.
This was the legendary smallpox that was sure to kill.
No matter how strong a warrior was, this smallpox would definitely die.
Of course, only Shen Lang knew this clearly in his heart.
This was not smallpox, but an extremely powerful herpes virus.
It was the poison that Zuo Boyu had planted in the Qiang King's body.
And now it was acting up.
It was really violent. The visual effect was really shocking.
The Qiang King was scared out of his wits.
He was brave, greedy, and domineering.
But he was also most afraid of death.
He regarded the lives of everyone around him as worthless.
But his own life was incomparably precious.
Previously, when he had raided the Western Regions, he had caught a small problem down there. He had hurriedly ended his raids and returned to the Qiang Kingdom to treat it.
The more selfish a person was, the more they feared death.
The Qiang King was instantly plunged into a boundless panic.
Am I going to die?
No, no!
I still have countless beauties, I still have countless riches.
I can't bear to die, I can't die!
Even if everyone in the world dies, I, the Qiang King, cannot die.
I still want to raid, I still want to ravage women, I still want to enjoy endless wealth and power.
A hero like me shouldn't die.
Who knows how to cure smallpox?
Zuo Boyu, Zuo Boyu, let him come quickly.
In his panic, the Qiang King still thought of Zuo Boyu.
But he quickly remembered that Zuo Boyu was already dead.
Then he felt a splitting headache. He retched and his entire body heated up.
The fever did not subside.
These symptoms were almost the same as smallpox, and it was coming so fiercely.
At this moment, he thought of Shen Lang.
"Shen Lang, don't you know how to cure smallpox? Hurry up and cure me, cure me! "
The Qiang King roared.
Shen Lang said, "Of course I know how to cure smallpox, and only I can cure it. And the things I have prepared can only be used to make one miraculous medicine. It can only save one person, but it will definitely be miraculous."
These words sounded a little familiar.
"Give it to me, give me the medicine …" The Qiang King no longer cared about his daughter Aru Nana's life.
Shen Lang said, "I can guarantee that the effects will be seen in two hours, half will be healed in one day, about to subside in three days, and a complete recovery in ten days. There will be no danger to your life. There will be no side effects at all, not even pockmarks."
At this moment, Shen Lang seemed to have been possessed by a divine doctor.
"Enough nonsense, hurry up and cure me. Do you hear me?" the Qiang King roared.
It had been fine when he had just woken up, but now that he was agitated, the itch was unbearable.
Shen Lang said, "If you want me to cure you, it's very simple. Promise me two conditions."
The Qiang King was taken aback. Two conditions again?
There was no need to rush, because the next three conditions would become more and more.
The number of conditions would increase.
"Speak," the Qiang King said.
Shen Lang said, "First, this Luo Yan and Zuo Boyu had an affair, and now that Zuo Boyu is dead, this woman has tried every possible way to kill me. As long as she is alive, I will feel a thorn in my back. Even if I treat you, I will not be able to perform well. So please kill her. Only then will I be able to treat you with my full ability."
As soon as he said this, Luo Yan cried out, "Liar, you are a liar! My Majesty, hurry and kill him. Shen Lang does not know how to treat smallpox. Smallpox cannot be treated at all. Shen Lang wants to harm you. Kill him, kill him! "
Shen Lang said calmly, "I am right here. If I cannot treat my Majesty, then just dismember my body into a thousand pieces. I have cured many people. Do you know Qiu Yao'er? No one could recognize the strange illness in the world, but in the end, they were all cured by me. Princess Ning Luo was poisoned, and no one knew what happened. No one could cure her, but in the end, I was the one who cured her. Princess Ning Yan was in excruciating pain every day, living a life worse than death. No one in the world could cure her, but in the end, I was the one who cured her. "
Shen Lang's words were truly persuasive.
"This Luo Yan is just a woman you snatched, and you are already tired of sleeping with her. The key is that you already have a knot in your heart. She and Zuo Boyu are indeed not clean.
"As long as you kill him, I will be able to be free of distractions!"
Shen Lang continued.
Luo Yan knelt down and said, "My Majesty, one night as husband and wife means a hundred days of love! This Shen Lang is trying to harm you. You must not believe him, you must not! Hurry and kill him, kill this evil creature Shen Lang! "
Emperor Qiang looked at the kneeling Luo Yan and said coldly, "Are you afraid of my smallpox? Why are you hiding so far away? Does the smallpox on my body have anything to do with you and Zuo Boyu? Are you trying to harm me? "
Then, he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Luo Yan's neck, and twisted it violently.
This woman was as fragrant as jade.
Then, Emperor Qiang looked at Shen Lang and said, "Now, can you treat me?"
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "Not yet, not yet!"
Emperor Qiang said angrily, "What else do you want?"
Shen Lang said, "Please write a confession and have the envoy send it to the capital of the State of Yue as soon as possible."
"Dream on, dream on!" Emperor Qiang was furious.
Crown Prince Aruta said loudly, "Father, this is a disgrace to you. I will dig out one of his eyes now. Let's see if he dares to make any more unreasonable requests and treat you obediently. "
With that, Aruta pulled out his dagger again and walked towards Shen Lang.
Shen Lang said coldly, "Your Majesty, your Crown Prince wants you dead. He tried everything he could to prevent me from treating you."
Shameless, these words were extremely shameless and slanderous.
As soon as he said this, Emperor Qiang's eyes shot towards Aruta like lightning.
What Shen Lang said made sense.
After he died, Aruta would be the new Emperor Qiang. Moreover, he had smallpox before and would not get it again.
"Get out …"
Emperor Qiang roared.
Immediately, Crown Prince Aruta ran out of the room.
Shen Lang said calmly, "Emperor Qiang, don't delay any longer. Is your life more important? Or is your face more important? "
Emperor Qiang said, "Can you really treat my Berserk Smallpox? If you can't, I will tear you to pieces. "
Shen Lang said, "I can see results in two hours, and it will fade by half in a day. I guarantee a miracle. I am the only miracle doctor in the world."
Emperor Qiang looked at Shen Lang and gritted his teeth.
But he was right. Compared to his face, his life was much more important.
"I promise you, I promise you."
"I will write this confession, I will write it!"
"But if I don't see the effects of the treatment tonight, I will make you regret ever being born into this world."
