Chapter 2915 Bloodletting
Changsun Jun knew that the people of the Dashi Kingdom were unfaithful and immoral, but he did not expect that the dignified court ministers of the Dashi Kingdom would be so renegade and despicable. In the blink of an eye, his remuneration was increased to three thousand taels of gold... This Isn’t there the slightest trace of propriety, justice and shame in the whole country?
Just like bandits and robbers!
Such despicable and shameless behavior is really unacceptable to him...
However, there is no point in not accepting it. He is in Damascus at the moment. If he rashly refuses Azmi's blackmail, if this guy's anger arises from his heart and his evil becomes bold, he can simply be tied up and imprisoned in prison, and then sent to Chang'an. What should I do if I send a letter to my family asking my father to raise money to redeem his life?
He never thought that he could easily obtain wealth several times his salary. How could Azmi not think about it?
Since he had thought about it but did not do it, it was definitely not due to conscience or morality, but because of the reasons that made him dare not do it...
Under Azmi's pressure, Changsun Jun had to write another letter, send a personal entourage back to Chang'an, and asked his family to raise three thousand taels of gold to support him outside Yumen Pass.
It's just that three thousand taels of gold is really a large amount. Even if the family is as luxurious and wealthy as the eldest grandson, they will still have a lot of trouble trying to raise so much gold in a short period of time. Especially since this "ransom" cannot be known to outsiders, it becomes more and more difficult to make up the mistake. What if the mistake cannot be made...
Changsun Jun simply didn't dare to think about it.
What particularly confused him was Mu'awiya's attitude. The caliph did not speak Chinese at all. He had no way of knowing what he said and relied entirely on Azmi's translation. What should he do if Azmi interfered? ?
After all, even if he no longer cares about Mu'awiya's attitude and only wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, it is still a task assigned by his father, so he came to Damascus in a daze, and then went back in a daze...
It's a bit unreasonable.
*****
Early the next morning, Changsun Jun had just woken up and walked out of his bedroom. He saw that all his dead soldiers had been disarmed and driven into the courtyard.
Changsun Jun was immediately furious. He was about to go to Azmi to ask for details when he saw Azmi coming back from outside wearing a military uniform. When he saw Changsun Jun, he smiled and said, "Young Master, you just woke up at this time? Haha, you are indeed pampered." Sons of the aristocratic family, I wonder how you managed to survive the vast Gobi Desert and the vast sea of sand to come to Damascus... Let’s go, I will accompany you to buy food and replenish fresh water.”
Changsun Jun said angrily: "General, why did you disarm all my soldiers? This is a great shame and humiliation!"
All the dead soldiers also had angry faces, but they were unarmed and in Damascus, for fear of bringing disaster to their son, but they dared not speak out in anger.
Azmi said with a smile on his face: "Now that you and I have reached an agreement, we should cooperate with each other to make the agreement continue. If these reckless men accidentally cause setbacks in our cooperative relationship, wouldn't it be a disaster? ? Don’t worry, young master, with the protection of my Azmi bodyguard, you will be safe and sound. You are my God of Wealth. Even if you lose a hair, I will be extremely sad..."
Changsun Jun was so angry that he had nothing to say. He was completely held hostage. It seemed that Azmi would never let him go until he received the "ransom".
……
Azmi personally took Chang Sun Jun on a shopping spree in Damascus, buying enough food and water bags.
Changsun Jun warned: "We need to buy more medicinal materials. The medicinal materials I brought have been used up on the way. If you have a headache and a fever, you will be in trouble without medicine."
Not only himself, but the dead soldiers he led to Damascus this time are all the elites of the Changsun family. Training a dead soldier not only costs a lot of money, but also requires a lot of patience. How can it be easily damaged? On the road?
Azmi suddenly looked disdainful: "You Han people are good at everything, but it's just weird that those grass roots, leaves, and even insects under the ground can be used to treat diseases? It's ridiculous! Those things look so dirty. It’s amazing. If you don’t kill someone if you eat it, how can you cure the disease?”
Changsun Jun was greatly surprised: "Then how do you treat your cannibals when they get sick?"
He himself also felt that the decoctions he needed to drink when he got sick were very torturous, and some were unbearably bitter. As long as he could resist the previous illness, he would rather suffer for a few more days than drink the decoctions.
Wouldn't it be better if the cannibal's medicine was more sophisticated?
“Isn’t it possible to bleed?”
Under the horrified gaze of Chang Sun Jun, Azmi took out a sharp knife from his arms. His body was covered with magnificent patterns and it was the world-famous Damascus knife. He held the knife in his hand. He gestured on his neck and thighs and said: "Whatever disease you have, you just need to cut the blood vessel in a certain place and bleed it."
Changsun Jun was stunned.
Seeing Zhang Sunjun's "astonished" expression, Azmi suddenly became very proud: "How troublesome is it to take medicine when you are sick? You Han people are so stupid! Our 'bloodletting therapy' is the best in the world. The most mysterious spell in the world is so complicated that most people can't understand it. Let me tell you this, according to the patient. Depending on the age, physique, season, climate, place of residence, etc., the bloodletting methods adopted are also different, and the blood vessels in different positions correspond to different organs. For example, the blood vessels in the right hand are connected to the liver, and the blood vessels in the left hand are connected to the liver. Connected to the spleen, the more severe the condition, the greater the amount of bloodletting.”
Then he gestured to his neck with a knife, sighed and said: "The most serious disease requires bleeding on the neck. Cutting this blood vessel can remove all toxins from the body, and the patient will naturally recover without medicine." . However, this magic is too profound, and I don’t know how to do it. I have learned the most important thing. When my father was seriously ill, I cut more than ten blood vessels on his body to bleed, but it had no effect. In the end, I had to separate the blood vessels in his neck. However, it took too long and the condition It was too heavy and we still couldn’t revive him.”
Changsun Jun subconsciously touched his neck and felt the strong beating of the arteries in his neck. This time he was really "shocked" by Azmi!
Mother!
Are you sure your father died of illness and not because you drained all the blood from his body?
Can bloodletting cure disease?
It is simply unheard of, an anecdote for the ages...
Changsun Jun had a subversive and breathtaking admiration for this magical city and magical capital!
Dirty, barbaric, and ignorant, this is Chang Sun Jun's impression of Damascus. Such a city that has long been famous even in the far east does not match its grand reputation. It is really better to meet it than to be famous.
Under Chang Sun Jun's strong request, Azmi took him to the market in the east of the city with an impatient look on his face. He bought some medicinal materials for treating colds and fevers from a Han merchant and looked at the small pile of green skin. , perilla, licorice, platycodon… ...Azmi took out his knife again and said with disdain: "You Han people are really weird. You can heal with just one knife and let out some blood. Why do you have to eat these messy things? It's really unreasonable."
< br>
Changsun Jun suppressed the crazy complaints in his heart and rolled his eyes.
You are unreasonable, and your whole family is unreasonable!
Blood is the essence of the human body. As the saying goes, "one drop of essence and ten drops of blood", how can the source of life be easily released from the body?
Furthermore, the organs of the human body are connected with the yin and yang and the five elements. If they are damaged, they must be supplemented and mediated by the nourishing things of heaven and earth. All things in the world are interdependent, and many medicinal materials can dredge the tendons and blood vessels and heal the lesions of the human body. Knowledge is ever-changing, and generations of doctors have been working tirelessly for more than a thousand years, but we dare not say that any medicine can cure the disease, especially if it can be cured by just cutting a blood vessel with a knife?
He didn't bother to argue with these "savages", so he carefully wrapped the medicinal materials and put them in his arms, and returned to his residence with Azmi.
That night, Chang Sun Jun's heart was like an arrow, and he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
In the blink of an eye, at dawn, Azmi obtained the credentials issued by the Caliph through some unknown means, assembled a full-scale team of envoys, and set off with eldest son Jun to the Tang Dynasty thousands of miles away.
A team of more than a hundred people left the city of Damascus in a mighty manner and headed east along the mainland.
On the sand dune where we had camped and rested when we passed by, the howling wind kept blowing, blowing the sand on the dune in the wind, and it hit our face with burning pain. Changsun Jun looked at the dark sand burned by the fire from his horse. The mutilated corpse had been chewed by wild beasts until the white bones were exposed. He felt guilty, so he quickly accelerated his horse to cross this place.
It is said that evil will be punished. Killing Qin Changgeng's caravan was really a helpless act. I wonder if his wronged soul will demand his life at some point in the future and die on the spot? (End of chapter)
