The five hundred and ninetieth chapters almost formed the catastrophe

"Your Highness calmed down. Although I don't know why these two people angered Your Highness, the most important thing now is to find out the situation of the alchemy in the palace, so I would like to forgive these two people for the time being!" Seeing that Li Yan was really interested in killing, Wang An was the first to stand up and persuade him. Lu Hong and others naturally could not let Li Yan kill the two key figures like this, so they all stood up to persuade him.

Li Yan was also angry just now, so he made such a hasty decision. Now that he saw the ministers advised him, he naturally calmed down his anger and brought Huo Yuanzi and Ashanlu who had been scared.

"Your name is Huo Yuanzi?" Li Yan asked, looking at the middle-aged Taoist who was kneeling on the ground and trembling all over his body, with unconcealed anger on his face.

"Qi... Qibing Your Highness, the Caomin is Huo Yuanzi. He was originally a Taoist priest from Zhenlong Temple in Zhongnan Mountain. Because he was good at alchemy, he was summoned into the palace and became a Taoist priest in the palace!" Huo Yuanzi was frightened by Li Yan at first, but soon he adjusted his emotions. After all, he was also a person who saw the world, and he believed that he had done nothing wrong. In addition, he was a Taoist priest in the palace, and even if the other party was the King of Qi, he could not kill him at will.

"Very good, I ask you, what are you going to do with these A Furong?" Li Yan couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw that the other party could adjust in such a short time, but the expression on his face still asked.

"Report to your highness, I have been to Persia for purchasing these Furongs by your Majesty, mainly for alchemy!" Huo Yuanzi said without hesitation.

"Hmph, this is because I am ignorant. I don't know what kind of elixir you want to refine. You actually need to use something like A Furong?" Li Yan said in a cold voice. He knew the power of opium than anyone else. He even thought about using opium to poison people in other countries. However, he knew that opium was a double-edged sword. If you accidentally hurt someone, he would soon give up the idea of ​​growing opium. But now, he didn't use opium to harm others, but others used opium on their relatives' heads. This was simply life-and-death!

"This..." As soon as Li Yan asked about the pills he had refined, Huo Yuanzi suddenly became a little hesitant, his eyes flashed a little, as if he didn't want to say something.

"Bang~" Li Yan slapped the table hard and shouted: "Bastard, do you still want to try the punishment of this palace?"

Seeing Li Yan getting angry again, before Huo Yuanzi could speak, the Persian merchant Ashanlu next to him suddenly rushed forward and replied in very fluent Chinese: "Your Highness, Caomin knows what elixirs these Afurongs are going to refine."

"Oh?" Li Yan noticed this Persian Hu merchant. He saw that the other party was slightly fat, with a tall brunette, blue eyes and a standard Persian face. He looked about fifties. If he were normal, he would probably have a kind smile on his slightly fat face, just like those ordinary merchants. But now he was full of panic, and obviously he had not yet walked out of the shock he had just now.

"Tell me!" Li Yan suddenly realized that he was really out of control. If he continued to ask this question, he might not be able to ask anything useful, so he put away the anger on his face. He took a sip of tea to calm his mind. At the same time, he also found that Huo Yuanzi's face suddenly changed when he heard A Shanlu's words.

Seeing Li Yan's expression become a little calmer, Ashanlu's spirit was refreshed. He thought that the most famous prince of the Tang Dynasty had changed his attitude, so he became much more courageous. He straightened his back slightly and said, "Your Highness, this A Furong is used to refine Yannian Pills, and the one who refines Yannian Pills is not a Taoist, but a monk from India, whose name is Naluoer Sapi."

"No wonder! Alchemy has always been a Taoist patent. When is it the monk's turn to refine alchemy?" Li Yan slapped the table and said angrily. In addition, he was also a little bit strange to Li Shimin, thinking that the emperor's father must be crazy, and even a monk of unknown origin believed it.

But then Li Yan thought of another thing: If the Naluo's world was just a monk from unknown origin, he would not be able to enter the palace. Someone must have introduced him to him, so who is the introducer?

Thinking of this, Li Yan immediately asked Ashanlu. When Ashanlu heard this, he was a little hesitant and his eyes kept floating towards Huo Yuanzi, and the meaning was self-evident. Huo Yuanzi's expression was a little flashing at the beginning, but in the end he was probably angry. He pointed at Ashanlu and shouted: "What do you think? If you hadn't introduced him to me, how could I bring him into the palace?"

And Ashanlu immediately argued: "I just saw that Na Luo Er Sapota was a little talented, so I introduced it to Taoist priest. But in order to invite His Majesty to favor, you brought Na Luo Er Sapota into the palace to refine elixirs for His Majesty. It's nothing to do with me!"

Seeing that the two of them were eager to clear their responsibilities, Li Yan's face darkened and was about to get angry again, but Lu Hong next to him was the first to speak out: "There is no noise in the hall. Now, you, Hu Shang, will talk about the origin of the Naluo'er Saha world first, and then Huo Yuanzi will talk about how he entered the palace!"

Huoyuanzi and Ashanlu now understood that the King of Qi in front of him was very disgusted with the matter of alchemy, so they were busy clearing their relationship. When talking about Nara'er Saha, they also tried their best to put all the blame on the other party, but as long as they had a little brain, they could analyze the process of this matter.

It turned out that according to Ashanlu, the Naraur Saha was originally a monk in the Jieji Dynasty. However, when King Jieji died, there was a chaos in Northern India. In order to escape the war, he fled from Northern India to the Western Regions. As soon as Ashanlu sold a batch of goods from Persia and passed through the Western Regions, he happened to meet the other party. Ashanlu found that the monk knew some strange techniques, so he brought him to the Tang Dynasty, hoping to use the other party's talents to make friends with some Tang nobles to facilitate business in the future.

Naraer Sava did not disappoint Ashanlu's high hopes. Not only did he have amazing Buddhism, he also had good eloquence, and also knew some strange medical skills. He cured several seriously ill nobles and scholars. As a result, Naraer Sava quickly gained a certain reputation in Chang'an City. It was in this case that Ashanlu introduced Naraer Sava to Huo Yuanzi.

Huo Yuanzi was good at refining elixirs. He was summoned to the palace by Li Shimin, who was unwilling to give up the old age, and then refined elixirs to take it. However, the elixirs they refined did not satisfy Li Shimin. For this reason, Huo Yuanzi and his priests were even punished by Li Shimin. However, after Huo Yuanzi met Na Luoer Saha, he found that the other party knew some strange formulas, some of which could achieve the effect of encouraging spirit.

Although Huo Yuanzi strongly denied what happened next, Ashanlu could prove that after Huo Yuanzi knew Nara's ability, he proposed to cooperate with the other party and use Nara's Sava formula combined with his alchemy technique to develop a new elixir. After this elixir is taken, it can make people feel that he is extremely energetic for a period of time, so they named it the Age Pill and presented it to Li Shimin. As for whether this elixir can really prolong life, only God knows.

However, when Li Yan heard that the main ingredient of the Yannian Pill was A Furong, he was angry and anxious at the moment. As far as he knew, taking a certain amount of opium orally can indeed refresh his mind. However, as long as a Chinese person in the future, he knew that opium was poisonous. If he was taken over orally, it would definitely be lifeless.

Fortunately, things like A Furong are rare in Chang'an. Huo Yuanzi and others collected them for a long time, and finally they were scrapped. As a result, they only refined more than a dozen pieces in the end, and they had been consumed by Li Shimin. So this time, Li Shimin sent Huo Yuanzi to Persia to purchase a large number of A Furong. A Shan Road itself is a Persian. He knew where to buy A Furong, so he took Huo Yuanzi to sea on a boat and arrived in Persia from the sea. After all, with the development of the sea trade industry, it is much more convenient and quicker to take the sea than to the land.

It is also worth mentioning that Ashanlu is very business-minded. A Furong who brought to the royal palace today was purchased by Huo Yuanzi for Li Shimin. In addition, Ashanlu also spent money to purchase a large number of them, but these A Furong did not set off with them, but would arrive at the Lion City in a month.

He planned to ask Nara'er Saha to refine these Yannian Pills and then sell them among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. He believed that with the news that the emperor was using, there would definitely be a shortage of supply. At that time, not only would he be able to get to know many princes and nobles with the Yannian Pills, but he would also make huge profits.

In addition, Li Yan also learned from Huo Yuanzi that in addition to the Yannian Pill refined by Narao Sava, there are several Taoist priests who are good at alchemy and have also refined some elixirs. However, the effects of these elixirs are not as good as that of Yannian Pill. Therefore, among the sorcerers in the palace, Narao Sava is now the most favored.

After hearing the cause and effect of this incident, Li Yan's face was so terrifying that he was also a little scared. In contrast, although Li Shimin's elixir was serious, if A Shanlu really brought opium back to Chang'an and then refined it into Yannian elixir for sale everywhere, the upper class of the Tang Dynasty would probably form a trend of taking A Furong, and that would be a real disaster at that time!
