Next, Emperor Qiang picked up a piece of paper and wrote a few words on the silk.
The Qiang Kingdom burned your holy temple for no reason. It was wrong!
This was Emperor Qiang's confession. It was the best he could do.
He had never been so humble before. Ever since he had become Emperor Qiang, he had never admitted his mistakes.
There were two copies.
Next, he stamped them with Emperor Qiang's seal.
Shen Lang took out a leather envelope and placed the confession inside, then sealed it with a wax seal.
Finally, he placed it in a small box prepared by the State of Yue, sealed it, and stamped it with a wax seal.
This confession was considered a success!
"Shen Lang, you better remember this. If you can't cure me, you can just wait to be dismembered into a thousand pieces. This confession can never leave the Qiang Kingdom and be delivered to the hands of the Yue Kingdom," said the Qiang King.
Shen Lang said, "I understand. Please follow me to a clean room. I am going to treat the berserk smallpox."
… …
Dozens of candles were lit in an extremely clean room.
Shen Lang also took out dozens of mirrors to reflect the light from the candles.
Instantly, the entire room was illuminated.
Then, Shen Lang picked up the Nick Grass, which was also known as tobacco, and started burning it.
He also used lime powder to draw a Tai Chi symbol on the floor.
He pasted a few runes on the wall.
Was it useful?
Absolutely not.
But it had to have a sense of ceremony. It had to make people feel like they were superior.
Zuo Boyu's work was too crude. I, Master Lang, am the superior liar.
Apart from Emperor Qiang, there was also the crown prince and a highly skilled, cold-faced old eunuch in the room.
A barbaric country like the Qiang Kingdom actually had eunuchs?
And they seemed to be very powerful.
Apart from them, there were also two physicians from the Qiang Kingdom, the kind of super herb doctors. If they were powerful, Zuo Boyu wouldn't even be here.
These two physicians only knew two ways to treat diseases.
Shamanic dancing and bloodletting.
Bloodletting was a high-level medical technique learned from the Western Region.
These people all had one thing in common: they had already had smallpox and survived, so they weren't afraid of being infected.
Seeing Shen Lang's arrangements, everyone felt that it was mysterious and impressive.
As expected of a Godly Doctor, he looked very impressive.
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince sniffed hard, then moved closer to where the tobacco was burning.
This person was already quite addicted to smoking, but he didn't know how to inhale and only knew how to smell.
Don't worry, Master Lang will soon teach you how to open the door to a new world and let you become the first smoker in this alternate world.
King Qiang was stripped clean.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Lang covered the key parts.
He wasn't afraid that Qiang King would be embarrassed. He was afraid that everyone present would be embarrassed, including himself.
Emperor Qiang was in excruciating pain.
The fever was severe, and there was a strong urge to vomit. Most importantly, the itch was unbearable.
Shen Lang took out the divine medicine and said, "Your Majesty, drink this."
"Wait …" Aluta said coldly, "What if you put poison in this medicine?"
Without saying anything, Shen Lang poured himself a spoonful and drank it in one gulp.
Then, he waited quietly to see if Shen Lang was poisoned to death.
This was just a tranquilizer concocted by Shen Lang. How could it be poisonous? He would just feel a little dizzy after drinking it.
Even though Shen Lang had only drunk a little.
After a full fifteen minutes, Shen Lang said, "Your Majesty, is it done?"
Emperor Qiang nodded.
"Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine," Master Lang said.
Emperor Qiang was stunned. Wasn't this unnecessary?
Then, he drank it in one gulp.
The tranquilizer concocted by Master Lang was much better than Zuo Bo's. It also had special ingredients.
Not only could it anesthetize, but it could also stop the pain.
Not long after Emperor Qiang drank it, he felt the pain and itch gradually disappear.
Amazing?
It was actually effective.
Then, Emperor Qiang actually felt a very comfortable feeling.
He wanted to sleep, but at the same time, he felt refreshed.
Of course, he felt refreshed, because there was milk in it.
Shen Lang also drank a little, but it didn't matter. It was medicinal in and of itself.
Shen Lang took out a peerlessly exquisite bottle with incomparable care.
Gold inlaid jade.
To use such a precious bottle to contain medicine, it must be a miraculous medicine.
The outbreak of chicken pox and rashes on Emperor Qiang's body was shocking, but he was still infected with the human herpes virus.
It was just that Zuo Bo Yu had fed Emperor Qiang a few tiger and wolf medicines, causing the damp poison to accumulate rapidly. That was why this outbreak was so terrifying.
But the treatment was very simple.
In modern times, aciclovir and calamine lotion would suffice.
But in this world, there was no aciclovir, but there were many prescriptions for Chinese medicine.
The snake core soup recipe had a miraculous effect when added with isatis root.
In addition, the herbal ointment that Shen Lang concocted was also very effective.
Alright, to put it more bluntly.
Emperor Qiang didn't need treatment at all. He would recover in a few days.
It was just that with Shen Lang's medicine, he would recover faster, and the effect would be more obvious.
Shen Lang carefully scooped out some ointment and licked it to show that it wasn't poisonous.
After a few minutes, he put on a pair of silk gloves and slowly applied the ointment to the densely packed chicken pox on Emperor Qiang's body.
"Ah …"
Emperor Qiang, who was about to fall asleep, couldn't help but sigh.
Comfortable, too comfortable.
Shen Lang was indeed amazing. He could tell whether it was effective the moment he used it.
How could he not be comfortable?
There was mint borneol inside. It was cool and refreshing.
"It's effective, it's effective!"
Emperor Qiang murmured and then fell into a deep sleep.
"Come out," the Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said to Shen Lang in a low voice.
Shen Lang followed him out of the room.
…
In the main hall, the Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said, "Mr. Shen, is there really only one set of medicine left to treat smallpox?
Shen Lang nodded.
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said, "Then can't the countless ordinary people who have been infected with smallpox be treated?"
Shen Lang realized that Alutai was completely different from before.
In front of Emperor Qiang, Alutai was filled with violence and bloodlust.
Alutai, on the other hand, was very calm.
This person was quite different from his father.
Shen Lang took out a cigarette and lit it with a flint. Then he took a deep puff.
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince was stunned.
Shen Lang handed him a cigarette, but the crown prince shook his head.
Damn, everyone is so paranoid. You don't even dare to smoke the cigarette I handed you. It's as if I will harm you.
Alright, I will indeed harm you.
Shen Lang continued to smoke, puffing out smoke rings one after another.
It looked as if it was very high class.
Of course, this body was actually very resistant to smoking. But he had no choice. In order to make this Qiang Kingdom addicted, he could only lead by example.
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince took a whiff and realized that Shen Lang's Nic Grass was very different. It was very fragrant.
He was an addict himself, so he focused on inhaling Master Lang's secondhand smoke and actually enjoyed it.
"Although the others who have contracted smallpox can't be cured, they can be protected against," Shen Lang said.
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Lang said, "About one-eighth of the people in the Qiang Kingdom have contracted smallpox. Those who have already been infected can only resign themselves to fate. But those who haven't contracted smallpox can be protected against it so that they will never contract smallpox again. "
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince trembled. "Does Shen mean that you have a way to save the Qiang Kingdom from the threat of smallpox forever?"
He couldn't help but be excited.
Smallpox was like the God of Death to the Qiang Kingdom.
Every year, it would erupt, and every time, it would reap countless lives.
It didn't matter if you were a slave or a member of the royal family. Everything was fair in the face of the terrifying smallpox.
Aruta's elder brother and a few of his brothers had all died of smallpox.
"Yes." Shen Lang said, "I can save the Qiang Kingdom from smallpox completely. We'll know if it works after we try. Find a few slaves who haven't contracted smallpox and give them to me. Let me protect them and then throw them into the crowd of smallpox patients. If they don't contract smallpox, it proves that I am telling the truth. I can plant a miracle vaccine in their bodies so that they will never contract smallpox again. If I can't do it, you can chop off my head. "
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince immediately bowed. "If that's the case, the Qiang Kingdom will never forget Shen's great kindness."
Shen Lang couldn't help but be taken aback.
You were yelling about killing me just now, and you even wanted to cut out my tongue and stomp on my hand.
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said guiltily, "I have to put on a violent front in front of my father. I hope Shen won't laugh at me."
Shen Lang glanced at him.
This crown prince wasn't simple at all. He was even more impressive than his father.
Shen Lang said, "Let's cure the Qiang King first."
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said, "If you can plant a miracle vaccine in the Qiang Kingdom's citizens so that they will never be threatened by smallpox again, the Kim family will be the Qiang Kingdom's best friend."
Shen Lang said, "Then can my clan replace the Su clan and become the Qiang Kingdom's only partner in the State of Yue?"
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince hesitated for a moment. "It will be difficult to completely replace them. There are some things that I can't say."
What he meant was that his father was still in power. This also meant that everything would be negotiable once he was in power.
Shen Lang said, "The heavens are benevolent, so I will not just watch as countless citizens of the Qiang Kingdom die. I am willing to save the Qiang Kingdom from the plague of smallpox, but I have two conditions."
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said, "Please speak."
Shen Lang said, "First, the State of Yue slaves in the cages will be the first batch of people I will plant the vaccine with. I will then bring these people back to the State of Yue."
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said, "Fine."
It was just a thousand slaves, so they weren't worth much.
Shen Lang said, "Second, please build a Sacred Temple on the Qiang Kingdom's territory as soon as possible."
These were the State of Yue's conditions, as well as Shen Lang's mission to the Qiang Kingdom.
The first mission was to get the Qiang King to write a confession and send an envoy to the State of Yue's capital to plead guilty. This mission could already be considered completed.
The second mission was to build a Sacred Temple on the Qiang Kingdom's territory.
The Qiang people burned down the State of Yue's Sacred Temple. This is a great humiliation and a violation of the country's dignity. How can we redeem ourselves?
Should we send troops to destroy the Qiang Kingdom?
This was very difficult at the moment, and it was impossible to do so. The price was too high.
In that case, build a Sacred Temple in the Qiang Kingdom and let the Saints' radiance envelop the land of the barbarians.
That was the most brilliant way to do it.
It could redeem the dignity of the entire Eastern civilization.
As long as Shen Lang fulfilled these two conditions, his father-in-law would be able to confer the title of Marquis to Xuanwu, and the Raging Tide City would also be officially conferred to the Kim family.
The Monarch had personally agreed to this.
However, the Qiang Kingdom's crown prince couldn't help but jump when he heard this.
The entire Qiang Kingdom only had one religion, and that was the God of Heaven. They worshipped the Snow Mountain Sacred Temple.
Now, Shen Lang was saying that he wanted to build a Sacred Temple on the Qiang Kingdom's territory?
How was that possible?
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince said hesitantly, "Compared to saving the people of the Qiang Kingdom, building a Sacred Temple isn't that big of a deal for me. However, the people of the Qiang Kingdom all worship the God of Heaven, and there is no place for a second God. If I build a Sacred Temple on the Qiang Kingdom's territory, it will either be burned down or people will rebel.
"I can't agree to this. Even if I agree and my father agrees, the people of the Qiang Kingdom will never agree.
"This can't be done. No one can do it!"
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince was speaking the truth.
This concerned the Qiang Kingdom's religion, so it would be useless even if the royal family agreed.
It was like asking a king in medieval Europe to become a Buddhist and build a Buddhist temple in the capital?
How was that possible? Because all kings were crowned by the Pope.
Wouldn't the entire European Crusade come to destroy them if they dared to change their religion?
Shen Lang said, "Then can I ask the Crown Prince to build a large house on an empty plot of land not far from the palace? No Sacred Temple, and no statues inside. I will use it to plant smallpox vaccines for the people of the Qiang Kingdom. "
Following this, Shen Lang said forcefully, "If you don't agree to this condition, then there's no need to discuss saving the Qiang Kingdom anymore."
The Qiang Kingdom's crown prince thought for a moment before nodding. "I will report this to my father. It should be possible."
… …
Emperor Qiang had a really good sleep. He slept for a full twelve to fourteen hours.
When he woke up, he was full of energy.
He stood up abruptly.
There was a large mirror in front of him, and he could see everything clearly.
A third of the blisters on his body had already been shaved off.
Compared to yesterday's terrifying appearance, it was much better.
Also, there was no unbearable itch.
He was instantly overjoyed.
"Good, good, good …"
He patted Shen Lang's shoulder and said, "You are indeed a miracle doctor. You are indeed a miracle medicine. Such a violent smallpox has been cured so quickly."
Shen Lang said, "Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. I will need about ten more days to fully recover."
Emperor Qiang laughed. "That's already very impressive."
Crown Prince Aruta, the old eunuch, and the two barbaric doctors all felt that Shen Lang was too amazing.
A violent smallpox would definitely die.
Shen Lang had actually cured it.
What a miracle doctor! His skills were amazing!
Too amazing.
Following that, Emperor Qiang swayed. "Why do I feel so dizzy and hot all over? My fever seems to be getting worse."
The barbaric doctors stepped forward and carefully touched Emperor Qiang's forehead. The fever was indeed very bad.
How could it not be bad?
One of the characteristics of the human herpes virus was a high fever.
Shen Lang said, "Your Majesty, my miracle medicine is currently battling the smallpox in your body. The more intense the battle, the worse the fever."
The doctors from the Qiang Kingdom understood this principle.
Shen Lang said, "So this high fever is not a big deal and will not affect the treatment of smallpox. But if the fever is too high …"
"What is it?" Emperor Qiang asked.
Shen Lang said, "It may cause brain diseases, blindness, deafness, and the like."
This was common knowledge. Many people had a high fever and became stupid or couldn't see.
Emperor Qiang was furious. How could that be?
"Hurry and reduce my fever, reduce my fever!" Emperor Qiang shouted.
Shen Lang said, "It's easy to reduce a fever. The two Qiang doctors should know how to do it."
"Let out the blood!" the two doctors said in unison.
They knew how to let out the blood.
Shen Lang said, "Then I'll have to trouble the two of you."
Then, the two doctors began to let out the blood of Emperor Qiang.
Shen Lang behaved very modestly. He did not have the slightest intention of fighting for the credit.
But …
Letting out the blood wouldn't cure the fever at all.
The two doctors let out the blood twice. A day passed, but the fever still hadn't subsided.
Emperor Qiang was furious.
Shen Lang wanted to say something but stopped.
Emperor Qiang asked, "What is it?"
Shen Lang said, "The way they let out the blood was wrong, and the tools they used were also wrong. If you want to let out the blood, you have to use a needle made of Millennium Coldsteel. "
Damn, you really know how to trick people.
But it sounded very reasonable. Millennium Coldsteel and high fever seemed to be mutually exclusive.
Next, Shen Lang took out his secret weapon.
It was a needle made of rolled iron. It was very intricate.
Shen Lang handed it to the Qiang Crown Prince and Emperor Qiang for inspection.
In order to show that it wasn't poisonous, he first soaked the needle in water and then drank the water.
Then, the needle cut the back of his hand and bled. It was still not poisonous.
Emperor Qiang, the Crown Prince, the old eunuch, and the two doctors checked it over and over again, using a human body over ten times.
There was no problem with the needle at all.
It was indeed ice-cold.
Damn, the weather was still so cold. How could it not be ice-cold?
Emperor Qiang said, "Shen Lang, let out the blood for me."
Shen Lang took out a packet of medicine and opened it with water. He drank a quarter of it first and confirmed that it wasn't poisonous. Then, he handed it to Emperor Qiang. "Your Majesty, when you let out the blood, you must add my medicinal soup."
Actually, this medicinal soup was the key to lowering the temperature. It contained a large amount of anti-inflammatory medicine.
This time, Emperor Qiang drank it in one gulp. Shen Lang had already drunk it and confirmed that it wasn't poisonous.
Next, Shen Lang used the Millennium Coldsteel needle to let out the blood for Emperor Qiang.
Eh?
Oh my god!
It was really effective.
Emperor Qiang quickly felt very comfortable.
That lazy, comfortable feeling came again.
That's right, it was the effect of the milky milk.
Shen Lang let out the blood all over Emperor Qiang's body.
At the same time, he inserted four tiny cyanide balls from the needle into Emperor Qiang's body.
These hollow balls were already extremely delicate. They were less than a millimeter in diameter, and each one contained a minuscule amount of cyanide.
Shen Lang could no longer make these balls. They were made by a master craftsman in Xuan Wu Mansion.
This was not a problem for ancient craftsmen.
Carving a miniature on rice, carving a boat on a walnut, and making every character on it come to life — these were the skills of our ancient craftsmen.
The one-millimeter hollow balls were much simpler than the ones above.
Shen Lang had once used this method to harm Chou Yao'er, but at the critical moment, his heart had softened and he hadn't killed her.
Now he was using it on Emperor Qiang again, but the situation was slightly different.
At that time, Shen Lang had planned to use magnetic storm powder and Chou Yao'er's zhenqi to break apart the toxic cyanide.
But now he didn't have this condition.
Under normal circumstances, the poison inside would not leak out.
However, these small balls would rust.
There was water and oxygen in the blood. It was the most suitable for rust.
Such a thin layer of iron, less than a millimeter thick, would completely rust in no time.
Shen Lang had done this eight times, and the average time was less than two months before it completely rusted through.
And once it did, the cyanide inside would leak out. Emperor Qiang would die instantly. Even a deity would not be able to save him.
As for where this cyanide came from?
It was hard to explain in detail. In short, it was extracted from a large amount of bitter almonds. The process was not difficult for Shen Lang. This was the most poisonous plant in the world. A little bit could poison dozens of people to death.
He had said it before, Emperor Qiang must die.
But he could not die now.
If Emperor Qiang died now, Shen Lang would not live either.
And dying in the next two months or so was the most advantageous for Shen Lang to destroy the Su Clan.
Moreover!
Shen Lang had used more than one method to kill Emperor Qiang.
There was also a backup plan that had already been laid out.
… …
After Shen Lang's bloodletting treatment.
In just a few hours, Emperor Qiang's high fever had subsided a lot.
He was instantly overjoyed.
"Shen Lang, you really are a genius doctor, a genius doctor."
"Amazing, amazing!"
Another two days passed!
The countless chicken pox on Emperor Qiang's body had already disappeared by eighty percent.
At this time, he really worshipped Shen Lang.
Truly amazing.
Even berserk smallpox could be cured.
And Shen Lang also discovered a good thing.
Emperor Qiang and the Crown Prince both began to smoke.
Especially the Crown Prince, who could not stop at all.
Shen Lang hypocritically said, "Your Majesty, your body has not recovered yet. It's best not to smoke."
Emperor Qiang said, "Isn't this Nike grass good for the body?"
Shen Lang said, "It is on purpose, and it can refresh the mind. But what if it conflicts with my divine medicine? Just in case, you should smoke ten days later. "
His smallpox had been cured.
But the smallpox epidemic was getting worse, and more and more people were infected every day. More and more people were dying.
Now that his life had been saved, it was time to worry about the fate of the Qiang Kingdom.
Emperor Qiang said, "Shen Lang, your divine medicine has already been used on me, but are you sure you can plant a vaccine for the people of the Qiang Kingdom that will prevent them from contracting smallpox forever?"
Shen Lang said, "Yes!"
This could save the fate of the Qiang Kingdom!
Emperor Qiang said, "Your condition is to build a large temple on the land of the Qiang Kingdom so that you can plant a vaccine for the people of the Qiang Kingdom?"
Shen Lang said, "Yes."
Emperor Qiang said, "In order to save the people and to ensure that the Qiang Kingdom will forever be free from the threat of the smallpox reaper, I will build this temple!"
… …
Finally!
Shen Lang was able to leave the palace for the first time. Under the watchful eyes of the Qiang Kingdom's warriors, he moved into the diplomatic mission's residence.
In other words, in a courtyard outside the palace.
Shen Lang returned to his room and was about to sleep.
But as soon as he entered the room.
Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance, a special fragrance.
Not only that!
He had smelled this fragrance a few days ago when he had just entered the Qiang Kingdom.
Princess Aru Nana's teacher.
A top-ranked Martial Grandmaster.
A peerless beauty with Ancestor Luo.
Goddess Xue Yin.
And there seemed to be something wrong with her.
Her heart was beating fast, and her breathing was rapid.
An X-ray revealed that her body temperature was very high.
Shen Lang was about to light the candles.
Goddess Xue Yin said in a trembling voice, "Shen, don't light the candles. Don't look at me!"
