He really wanted to, but he wouldn't dare even if I gave him ten courages!
He is completely desperate now.
No matter what, there is no escape this time.
How he will be dealt with depends entirely on His Majesty Li Er's mood.
Thinking of this, Li Junxian breathed out softly and made a decision.
He must inform His Majesty Li Er personally about this matter.
In this way, there is still room for maneuver.
I hope your majesty won't be too angry and really chop him down.
He did this out of sheer helplessness!
"What about the red-haired monkey?"
Su Chen ignored Li Junxian, who was in a daze, and said to the members of Baiqisi not far away: "Bring that Tianzhu prince...and the translator here, I have something to ask."
After a while, the trembling Prince Tianzhu and the translator were pulled out from the back of the carriage and brought to Su Chen.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said to the translator: "I said, you translate, if you make a mistake, I will chop off your head."
The translator nodded like a fool.
Then, Su Chen turned to Prince Tianzhu and asked, "What is the purpose of your visit to Datang this time?"
Prince Tianzhu's eyes were blank and his expression was extremely frightened.
Seeing Su Chen looking over, his eyes subconsciously dodge away.
The battle just now really scared him.
A mere dozen or so people were able to put down all the hundreds of Tianzhu guards in the blink of an eye. What a terrifying combat power this was!
Even Tianzhu's most elite army is not so exaggerated!
In an instant, he felt that Su Chen was definitely not an ordinary person!
After hearing Su Chen's question, the translator did not dare to delay and started to convey the words in a gibbering voice.
After being stunned for a moment, Prince Tianzhu answered honestly: "We came to Datang this time because we want to establish friendly diplomatic relations with Datang."
"I heard that the Tang Dynasty was a great Buddhist country, and so is Tianzhu. Therefore, when we come here this time, we also want to promote Buddhism and promote Buddhist exchanges."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar around him, the people frowned, and many people shouted.
"He's definitely lying!"
"These foreigners really have ulterior motives. They used such poor excuses like mine. It's really ridiculous!"
"What else is there to say? Arrest them all quickly!"
…
Seeing the people's reaction, Su Chen was very satisfied. The first step of his plan had been achieved.
Today's Tang Dynasty has nothing to do with the great Buddhist country.
Due to Su Chen's intervention, Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was strangled in the cradle.
Therefore, in the minds of many people, there is no concept of Buddhism at all.
And it is obviously impossible for Prince Tianzhu and others to know this situation.
Although he didn't see many decent temples along the way, he didn't have much suspicion.
Because as early as more than ten years ago, before the change of Yuan Zhenguan, Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty had already begun to develop.
According to the experience of the people of Tianzhu, and with the speed of the spread of Buddhism, there must be temples everywhere in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, after seeing the people's reaction so fiercely, Prince Tianzhu hurriedly said: "I didn't lie, this is the purpose of our coming!"
Having said this, he raised his right hand, pointed to the carriage behind him, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look. There are many scriptures there. There are also ten eminent monks among our team of envoys."
"These can all prove..."
However, before he could finish his words, Su Chen suddenly pulled out the saber from Li Junxian's waist, and then slashed at him with a swipe.
Click!
In just an instant, his right index finger, which was originally intact, was... gone!
Prince Tianzhu first looked at his bare right hand and was stunned for a few seconds, and then he howled heartbreakingly.
Su Chen frowned, put the knife on his neck, and said in a cold voice: "If you yell again, I will chop off your head!"
Seeing this, the translator did not dare to delay and quickly informed Prince Tianzhu.
Hearing this, Prince Tianzhu did not dare to scream loudly. He gritted his teeth, sucked in cold air, and tried his best to control his throat.
He looked at Su Chen's cold eyes and knew that he was definitely not joking.
"You must have other plans, tell me immediately!"
Su Chen continued: "If you tell another lie, I will kill you!
Hearing this, Prince Tianzhu thought quickly.
What he told was the truth. Why didn’t this young man believe it?!
Could it be...
Suddenly he thought of his new plan.
But...how could the young man in front of me know this plan?!
Just when he was hesitating, Su Chen's hand holding the knife moved forward, and the cold knife instantly touched his neck.
Su Chen took action quickly and suddenly, once again making the onlookers look dumbfounded!
Before Li Junxian, who was distracted, could react, Prince Tianzhu's fingers had been chopped off and fell to the ground!
He touched the empty scabbard, feeling slightly lost in thought, and then turned to look at Su Chen.
He really doesn't understand, what is this person doing?!
Could it be possible that he really had to kill the Tianzhu prince on the spot?!
Li Junxian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
If this is really done, Zhu and Datang will have a life-or-death relationship, and a war will be inevitable!
Obviously, this is also the common thought of many people present.
Everyone subconsciously held their breath and watched all this intently.
Under the stimulation of the cold and sharp blade, Prince Tianzhu's whole body tensed up and he shouted: "I say, I say, I say it all, don't kill me!"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's eyes lit up, and instead of taking the knife back, he sent it forward a little further.
Of course he didn't want to kill this Tianzhu prince.
This man is bound to die, but not in this way.
The reason why Su Chen did this was after careful thinking.
First cut off his fingers to create an atmosphere of a killer at any time, and then press harder and harder to make him completely panic, without giving him any time to think, just to trick him into talking.
Su Chen didn't believe it. This Tianzhu prince didn't say anything about the Tang Dynasty when he was chatting with his father.
He traveled thousands of miles and brought out countless original Buddhist scriptures, so he must have wanted to exchange something back.
This is a very normal thing, and almost all countries that come for exchanges do this.
As long as the Tianzhu prince casually talks about their exchange plan, he will be found guilty of "having other agendas."
Under Su Chen's guidance, the people became suspicious of the Tianzhu people. If they heard these words, they would definitely be convinced and stand by Su Chen's side without reservation.
