Song Che asked for a quiet room, found a bunch of garlic, and began to extract allicin——
First mash the garlic, then dry and crush it over a slow fire, add alcohol and let it degrade.
Many phytochemicals are difficult to dissolve in water, but are easily soluble in organic solvents such as alcohol. For example, if you soak oranges, grapes and other fruits in wine, the wine will be stained after a while.
"Boss, do you want to make garlic wine for the king to drink?" Nangong Yue squatted aside, holding her chin in her hands, looking at the container in curiosity.
Song Che said: "You can say that, but what I use is not garlic wine, but allicin squeezed from the body of garlic. It has a strong killing... You don't know what it kills. In short, garlic But it’s amazing, it’s even okay,”
He lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Use it to deal with vampires!"
"Suck... vampires!" Nangong Yue's delicate body trembled, "I have only heard of vampire bats, but never heard of vampires!"
"What is a vampire? Why is it afraid of garlic? Tell us something interesting." Lu Jingxiang was full of curiosity.
Anyway, it would take some time for garlic to degrade, so Song Che asked them to bring in a small bench and tell stories and joke around to kill time.
"...Huh? It turns out that these foreign zombies are afraid of the smell of garlic. I thought they were so powerful that they are not as powerful as our local zombies."
"Off-topic, off-topic, hey... allicin has surfaced."
After nearly an hour of waiting, the container was obviously stratified, and the layer of light yellow liquid floating on the surface was allicin.
Song Che separated it bit by bit with a spoon, put it into a small jar, and then transported it to the king's palace.
King Apdu sat on the head of the bed, his complexion obviously recovered a lot, and it seemed that the antibiotics had taken effect.
"Mr. Song, if you can cure my disease, I will meet all your requirements..."
This sentence is enough.
Song Che sat down by the bed and washed his hands with alcohol. "It may sting. Your Majesty, you need to be patient."
Abdu gritted his teeth and nodded.
Song Che soaked cotton with some allicin and applied it carefully on the wound. The burning sting made Abdu tighten his grip on the sheets:
"Mr. Song, what kind of medicine did you give me? Why is it so painful?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Pain is a good thing. It means your skin and flesh are not necrotic yet, so the situation is not too bad."
Xu was psychologically comforted, and Abdu also relaxed a lot. After applying the allicin, Song Che handed the jar to the accompanying imperial doctor and warned:
"Remember, apply it every two hours. If the wound is no longer red, swollen and pus-free tonight, it means that the medicine is working and the wound will heal slowly. Eat more ginger, garlic, beef, mutton and fish in your diet. Remember not to cover the wound. Keep it airy.”
The king needed to rest, so Song Che left the palace without disturbing him. After explaining, he left the palace.
That night, they were arranged in the palace and treated as state guests.
The next morning, at dawn, Ah Yigu came and knocked on the door.
Song Che opened the door with an anxious mood. He admitted that treating the king was a gamble. If the gamble was right, the alliance with Gaochang Kingdom could be decided. But if the gamble was wrong, the matter would most likely be ruined.
"Mr. Song! The king... he... he..." Ah Yigu was so excited that he spoke incoherently:
"He's fine!"
Harmful!
Song Che let out a long sigh of relief.
When he came to the palace again, King Apdu had left the bed. He was sitting on a chair with a variety of big fish and meat in front of him, and he was eating happily.
There is a rough saying in the countryside: If a person can grind two bowls of rice for every meal, he will basically not get any serious illness.
"Oh, my savior, Mr. Song, please come and take a seat!" When Apdu saw Song Che coming to the door, he immediately invited him warmly.
Song Che glanced at the king's legs that were draped on the chair. The red and swollen wounds were obviously gone, and he happily sat down at the table.
"Mr. Song, I promised you yesterday that if you can cure my disease, I will satisfy any request you have... Of course, our Gaochang is only a small country and we can only do what we can." Apdu said with a smile.
Song Che did not show off, took out the document and handed it to Apdu, saying bluntly: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, Song visited Gaochang as a businessman this time and came with the wishes of the Emperor of Liang."
"Oh?" Abdu took the document with both hands, waved slightly, and all the servants in the palace retreated and closed the door.
He then opened the document, glanced at it quickly, and his eyes immediately became respectful. He touched his chest and said, "Please forgive me for my inconvenience in my legs and feet, which prevents me from saluting the distinguished envoy Daliang."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. I came to your country this time for one thing only," Song Che said bluntly:
"The Hu people's regime is becoming more and more stable, and their ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. Our Liang Dynasty has received news that after they control the Hexi Corridor, the next step will be to annex the Western Regions. By then, all countries in the Western Regions will be ruled by the Hu people;
Your Majesty the King should know that the Hu people are a slave regime. If they annex the Western Regions, you will all become their slaves;
Therefore, Song walked thousands of miles, crossed mountains, crossed deserts, and went through wind and frost to the Western Regions, in order to unite the countries in the Western Regions, work with Daliang to attack the Hu people from east to west, and drive them out of the Hexi Corridor! "
Abdu thought for a moment and said:
"Although the Hu people did not directly attack our country, they still ask us to pay tribute to beautiful women and jewelry every year. They do not respect us as much as Daliang does. As a king, I feel very ashamed when talking about this;
Mr. Song wants to unite with the Western Regions to defeat the barbarians. I applaud him very much. However, Gaochang is only a small country with 100,000 people and only has 20,000 cavalry. We are not qualified to take the lead! "
It is also necessary for the young monarch to be more passionate and better able to communicate.
Song Che waved his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Before visiting you, I have reached an agreement with the kings of Uighur and Dadan. As long as the major countries in the Western Regions are willing to unite, they will all use their strength to help the Liang Dynasty to defeat the Hu. "
"good!"
Apdu raised his glass: "In order to thank Mr. Song for his life-saving grace, I, Gao Changguo, agree to form an alliance with Daliang!"
"Hey." Song Che took off Apudu's wine glass, put a cup of tea into his hand, and said with a smile: "Remember, before the injury is healed, you must not drink alcohol, otherwise all the treatment will be in vain."
He poured himself a cup of tea and drank with the king with a smile. In this way, his lobbying for Gaochang was a complete success!
