Chapter 147: A Bet with His Majesty
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Since we have sworn by high-five, we cannot go back on our word. Come with me, I will do an experiment for you."
Yan Yunzheng followed him out curiously.
Chen Dong called a Jinyiwei and asked him to go to the Tianlao to bring over two death row prisoners.
"What do you want to do with the death row prisoner?" Yan Yunzheng asked with a frown.
"Of course you need experimental subjects to do experiments." Chen Dong said as a matter of course.
The death row prisoners are all people who have committed heinous crimes, and Chen Dong will not have any mercy on them.
They will die sooner or later anyway, so dying early will help them get relief.
Two death row prisoners were brought up. Their faces were covered, their mouths were gagged with cloth strips, and their hands and feet were shackled.
After all, it's the emperor himself, so we need to be careful to prevent them from making wild remarks or suddenly launching an attack.
After the people were brought in, Chen Dong didn't waste any time. He just drew his knife and slashed each of the two men's arms.
The two death row prisoners suddenly screamed "Woo Woo" and struggled continuously.
Four Jinyiwei stepped forward and immediately held the two men down.
Chen Dong also asked someone to get some dirty stuff and smear it on the wounds of the two men.
The two death row prisoners struggled even more violently, making wild "woohoo" sounds.
Yan Yunzheng kept frowning, "Is this the experiment you mentioned? Isn't this torture?"
"Don't be impatient, just wait and see." Chen Dong said.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Chen Dong poured burning knife into the wound of one death row prisoner, while the other was simply rinsed with clean water.
"What are you doing? It's such a waste." Yan Yunzheng said dissatisfiedly.
"The environment on the battlefield is dirty and messy, and soldiers can easily be infected by bacteria after being injured. Once infected, the wound will become inflamed and the person will have a high fever. If not treated in time, the person will die," explained Chen Dong.
But his explanation made Yan Yunzheng even more confused. "What are bacteria?"
"Bacteria are invisible to the naked eye and are everywhere. As the Buddhists said, Buddha looked at a bowl of water and saw 84,000 bugs. If there are so many bacteria in the water, you can imagine what's happening in other places," said Chen Dong.
Yan Yunzheng considered himself to be well-read, but Chen Dong's words sounded like heavenly books. Her face turned slightly red, and she asked in shame, "What is Buddhism?"
"I almost forgot. There is no Buddhist sect in Dayan yet." Chen Dong thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly changed the subject. "You can think of bacteria as a kind of dirt. Wine can disinfect and kill bacteria, which means removing dirt. The wound will not be infected."
Chen Dong pointed at a man's wound and said, "Come and take a look."
The two death row prisoners were also stabbed with a knife and smeared with filthy things.
The only difference is that one uses wine to clean the wound, and the other uses water.
Yan Yunzheng looked in the direction of Chen Dong's finger, and could not help but widen his eyes, covering his mouth and exclaiming. The person who washed the wound with clean water had a red and swollen wound, while the other person was fine.
Not only that, half an hour later, the prisoner whose wound became inflamed became hot all over and his body kept shaking.
Finally, he fell to the ground and was no longer able to make any sound.
The person whose wound had been disinfected by burning the knife did not have any redness, swelling or ulceration, nor did he have any symptoms of high fever or near death.
"How could this happen?" A hint of shock flashed across Yan Yunzheng's eyes.
Being injured on the battlefield was a matter of fate, and this was a tradition not only in Dayan but also in the Seven Kingdoms.
But now, this tradition has been broken by Chen Dong with a jar of wine!
Not only Yan Yunzheng was shocked, but the Jinyiwei who witnessed the incident were even more surprised.
"Commander, this... this is unbelievable."
"The commander is indeed a banished immortal from heaven!"
"As long as the commander is in the Jinyiwei, the brothers will die for him!"
The Jinyiwei knelt down in unison. Chen Dong's methods made them call it a miracle.
Swords and knives have no eyes, who can guarantee that they will not get hurt?
If you get hurt, you could die!
Chen Dong gave them a second life!
Chen Dong didn't expect that these people would be so sensitive about such things.
"Isn't it just alcohol? When I develop penicillin, won't you all worship me as a god?" Chen Dong disagreed.
He picked up a knife and slit the throat of the living death row prisoner.
Since all his companions were dead, of course he had to see him off so that the two of them would have company on the journey.
When Yan Yunzheng came to his senses, there were only two corpses left on the ground.
Yan Yunzheng waved his hand and said, "Give the body a proper burial. It can be considered as a contribution to Dayan."
The Jinyiwei dragged the body away.
Yan Yunzheng pulled Chen Dong into the bedroom.
Chen Dong was stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, are you so impatient?"
Yan Yunzheng said angrily, "Get lost! I want to know why this happened."
Chen Dong spread his hands and said, "I've told you before, soldiers get inflammation and high fever because of bacteria, and alcohol can kill bacteria, so people won't die naturally."
"No! Other doctors have tried to use wine to heal injuries, but they all failed. Only you succeeded." Yan Yunzheng said, "Could it be that you are the heir of medicine? Yes, the Queen once asked you to treat me, you must be a doctor!"
"Military strategist, Legalist, Agriculturalist, Yin-Yangist... and now there's a medical strategist. What else can't you do?"
Yan Yunzheng paced on the spot, looking at Chen Dong in surprise.
Chen Dong touched his nose embarrassedly, "Alas, I'm not as good as you say."
Yan Yunzheng paused, his face suddenly becoming serious, "No! There is a rumor that those who combine the best of all schools of thought can become gods! Do you want to become a god? "
Yan Yunzheng took a deep breath and stared at Chen Dong with his eyes wide open, his expression changing constantly.
Chen Dong was shocked.
He originally thought that Yan Shijiu was just talking nonsense, but Yan Yunzheng actually said the same thing.
"Could it be that this is really true?" Chen Dong was not sure.
Become a god?
It's too illusory!
Noticing Yan Yunzheng's unfriendly look, Chen Dong immediately said, "Your Majesty, I just like to read some miscellaneous books. I dare not compare myself with the various schools of thought."
It is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless predecessors. Although Chen Dong stands on the shoulders of giants, he dare not say that he is proficient in everything.
Seeing Yan Yunzheng breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Dong also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
Who knows if Yan Yunzheng would chop off his head out of fear?
Chen Dong immediately moved closer to Yan Yunzheng and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time to fulfill the bet."
A blush appeared on Yan Yunzheng's face, and his attention was indeed diverted.
"You think about that kind of thing all day long." Yan Yunzheng was embarrassed and annoyed, and his expression was very seductive.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Food and sex are human nature. This is what Confucius said. I am just a practitioner."
"Confucianism!" Yan Yunzheng's pupils shrank, "You actually also understand Confucianism."
Chen Dong really wanted to slap himself twice - he had led Yan Yunzheng astray again.
"How can I understand Confucianism? I only understand Yin-Yang School." Chen Dong stared at Yan Yunzheng with burning eyes, "Your Majesty, you are not going to default on your debt, are you? Your words are not joking!"
Yan Yunzheng's face turned red and white, and he said angrily, "Take off your pants and lie down."
