Even if the people of Tianzhu swear in the name of Buddha, they guarantee that there will be no problem with this elixir.
But in Su Chen's opinion, this kind of oath has no credibility!
Once the issue rises to the political level, there is no credibility at all.
Especially since this was said by a foreigner from a foreign country!
In Su Chen's view, the existence of these people has only one meaning, and that is to wait to be conquered!
Although I don’t know what the King of Tianzhu’s intentions are, he must have something up his sleeve!
After rejecting Princess Changle's proposal, Su Chen frowned again and began to think.
He felt that he could not put his hope in Li Er's enlightenment and then destroy the elixir.
Although Li Er was a very shrewd emperor in terms of governing the country.
But when it comes to taking elixirs, he is also famous throughout history as an expert at testing poisons!
In his later years, Li Er felt that his health was not as good as before, so he came up with the idea of elixir.
At that time, he ate almost all types of elixirs, including those containing sulfur, mercury, and various heavy metals.
Su Chen suspected that if Li Er ate like this, he might have eaten the entire periodic table of elements!
However, no matter how much Li Er ate randomly, he never had any problems until he ate the one from Tianzhu before he left Hexi.
In fact, Li Er cannot be blamed for this.
After all, immortality is a fatal temptation for those ambitious emperors, and few people can resist it.
Therefore, Su Chen thought about it and decided to handle this matter properly.
Even if he doesn't want to see Li Er anymore, he can't let Li Er return to the west so early!
Now that the Tang Dynasty has just started to improve and is prospering, it cannot afford to mess around.
If Li Er was gone at this time, with Li Chengqian's prestige, he would definitely not be able to suppress the ministers in charge of the court, let alone the other half-measured princes.
If it really develops to this point, then the Tang Dynasty will definitely experience another war!
In this case, Su Chen's efforts over the years will be in vain.
At this time, Princess Changle asked worriedly: "Brother Su Chen, what should we do?"
Su Chen thought for a while and said: "This matter is really troublesome. I need to think of a safe way."
"If we go directly to the government, I'm afraid no one will believe us."
"If that doesn't work, just ask Lao Li and see if his friend in the court can help."
Hearing this, Princess Changle felt happy and suddenly became less nervous.
She also heard the news suddenly just now and was a little confused, so she didn't think about this aspect.
Lao Li, isn't that his father?
Dad is the one who trusts Brother Su Chen the most. If he speaks, there will definitely be no problem!
After thinking of this, Princess Changle quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Su Chen continued: "But even if we ask Lao Li for help, there is still a lot of risk."
"Li Er is not someone who can listen to advice. If he eats it directly or doesn't believe that the elixir is poisonous, problems may arise. It's best to resolve this matter now!"
"such a pity……"
Speaking of this, Su Chen let out a long sigh.
"Brother Su Chen, what are you regretting?" Princess Changle asked in a low voice.
She didn't dare to look directly into Su Chen's eyes, and the fact that she had concealed her father's identity made her feel particularly guilty.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring Lao Zhao and the others here!"
Su Chen shook his head and said: "Otherwise, just find a reason and kill these Tianzhu envoys. It's simple, crude and effective!"
"Let Lao Zhao and the others go out and hide for a while, and then I will slowly clear their names as the Protector of the Country."
Halfway through his words, Su Chen suddenly stopped and looked not far away with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Princess Changle noticed something unusual about him and looked in the direction Su Chen was looking at.
After seeing it clearly, I was stunned.
Why do the people over there look so familiar?
Take a closer look, it's actually Li Junxian!
After seeing the person clearly, Princess Changle suddenly panicked.
She thought her father had discovered that she and Sizi had secretly escaped, and asked Li Junxian to arrest her!
Princess Changle subconsciously clenched Su Chen's generous and strong palm.
Su Chen's performance was completely opposite to hers, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
This man looks familiar, isn't he Lao Li's guard captain?
He came just in time!
In fact, Li Junxian just arrived here not long ago.
After running wildly for a while, he finally found Su Chen before the Fanbang delegation.
At this moment, Li Junxian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At present, everything seems to be normal, and the conflicts he is worried about have not appeared.
However, he did not completely relax.
He still had to keep a close eye on Su Chen until the delegation arrived at Tai Chi Palace.
At the same time, the safety of the two princesses and Su Chen must be guaranteed!
For this reason, Li Junxian specially temporarily dispatched a group of hundreds of horses to come here and stand by.
Just as he was giving the order, Su Chen unexpectedly saw him. The two stared at each other for a long time.
Seeing Su Chen's eyes change from confusion to joy, Li Junxian knew in his heart that he had been recognized.
He had no choice but to bravely walk towards the two of them. As he walked, he secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, he was not wearing official uniform today, otherwise his secret would have been exposed.
Su Chen took the initiative to greet him, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, you came just in time. I happen to have something that I need your cooperation with."
Hearing this, Li Junxian was confused.
What's happening here?
According to the usual practice, shouldn’t we question ourselves first? What does it mean to come in time...?
Seeing that Li Junxian was in a confused state, Princess Changle couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Did dad ask you to come?"
Li Junxian shook his head subconsciously and said, "I also accidentally learned that the young lady and Master Su Chen are here."
"There are many people in Chang'an City. I was worried that something might happen to the young lady and Master Su Chen, so I came here without having time to notify the master."
Hearing his answer, Princess Changle breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't just come to arrest her and take Sizi back.
On second thought, Li Junxian's arrival can be considered a good thing.
With him here, Dad will be able to know the situation here quickly.
Although she herself may be punished for this, she can still spread the news of the poison pill sent by the Tianzhu people to the palace as soon as possible.
In this case, nothing goes wrong.
Princess Changle was thinking when she heard Su Chen speak again: "Xiao Li, have you brought anyone out?"
"Bring it."
Li Junxian still looked confused, but still answered honestly: "About a dozen people."
