"Master Hu Qiong, since you have such great power, why not arrest me too.
Maybe I was also sent to destroy some kind of censorship by your Alchemist Association, although I have no idea what bullshit that censorship is!"
Cousin?
Hu Qiong was a little dumbfounded. Although his attitude towards Li Xuan was a little arrogant, he also knew what kind of power the imperial envoy personally appointed by Her Royal Highness the Princess had.
As an alchemist, he is not qualified to compete head-on with the princess! The two men in black robes could not help but look cold when they heard the unceremonious ridicule in Li Xuan's words, and their three followers also showed a hint of coldness.
With murderous intent, the crossbow in one of the men's hands slowly turned around and aimed at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan said: "Your dog's paw should be more stable. If it deviates even one centimeter, I will chop it off!"
His voice was so cold that everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The follower also trembled all over, and the moving crossbow froze as if a spell had been cast on it, and became motionless.
"Wait...there must be some misunderstanding about this matter!"
The sweat on Hu Qiong's forehead became even more, "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, your two cousins are too reckless. How could they use violence against the two elders of the Five Elders Group without asking any questions?"
Li Xuan ignored him and looked at Li Cheng: "Are you sure it's them?"
Li Cheng nodded and said: "I saw the carriage outside yesterday. The coat of arms on it was exactly the same. I asked. This coat of arms is only found on the vehicles of the five elders! I also inquired about the whereabouts of these guys.
It’s clear, they arrived at Maplewood City early this morning, and the journey is consistent, so there’s no mistake!”
"It seems to be correct... Cousin Li Cheng, you really disappoint me... I actually found out that it was them who did it. If it were me, their noses should have been broken.
So I think you are so polite and elegant, just like those aristocratic ladies at the banquet, extremely shy!"
Li Xuan's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a cruel smile.
"How presumptuous! Who are you? How dare you insult our five elders!"
The young black-robed man like a bamboo pole said angrily.
"Elder Zhang Da, this is Mr. Li Xuan, he is the imperial envoy appointed by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Today’s banquet is to welcome Mr. Li Xuan to take office!”
Hu Qiong was startled and hurriedly explained to the bamboo pole.
The two men in black robes were shocked when they heard this. The crossbows in the hands of the three followers also shook slightly, and the aiming angle was slightly lowered.
The five elders are indeed great, but compared with the imperial power, they are far behind. It is not their turn to show off their power! "I'm not unreasonable. It's true that someone went too far last night..." Li Xuan saw
Everyone was very curious and slowly told what happened last night.
"...I don't know what the five elders are, and I don't mean to humiliate you. I just want to ask who made the bet last night. Come forward and let me run over the matter with a carriage. Otherwise, forget it.
If so, I really don’t mind slapping the faces of the five major elders!”
After finishing speaking, Li Xuan laughed coldly.
So damn arrogant! After everyone heard this, although they felt that Li Xuan was reasonable, they still felt that he was a little too arrogant! No wonder it was rumored that Ding Yue was exiled because he provoked this person. Many people secretly didn't believe it, but
Now seeing Li Xuan's arrogance, they completely believed him.
Nothing that such an arrogant guy does will be surprising! "We don't know what you are talking about. We did drive through the night last night, but we didn't meet anyone asking for help! Although your Excellency is
The imperial envoy cannot slander our five major elders.
If you insist on causing trouble, I will complain to the superiors!"
The older Cheng Ke obviously also saw that Li Xuan was not easy to mess with. Although his tone was still very tough, he actually showed his intention to give in.
Zhugan Zhang Da blushed even more, stared at Li Xuan closely, and said in a loud voice: "Don't think you can frame us just by talking nonsense! How could the five elders do something like hitting someone with a carriage? I
You can swear that this matter has nothing to do with us!"
Hu Qiong said hurriedly: "Master Imperial Envoy, Elder Zhang Da has already sworn an oath, it seems you have misunderstood.
I think this matter can be investigated more carefully..." "If swearing is useful, what else can I do with the truth pill!"
Li Xuan sneered, "If you really have a clear conscience, just take a truth pill and show it to me!"
Truth pill?
Everyone was stunned, and many people immediately showed a slightly mocking smile.
This Mr. Li Xuan is really young and energetic, but unfortunately he lacks common sense.
The truth pill is indeed a pill that can make people tell the truth, and it has a miraculous effect in detecting lies?
But is that an ordinary thing? There is no alchemist in the entire Maplewood City who can refine that kind of high-level elixir. Even those big chambers of commerce that claim to have everything can’t find it in their warehouses.
Even if a truth pill comes! Li Xuan is still too young after all. He will use a truth pill to test the honesty of Zhang Da and Cheng Ke when he opens his mouth, but you must have a truth pill first, right?
Hearing the method proposed by Li Xuan, Zhang Da and Costa were stunned. They obviously did not think that Li Xuan had a truth pill, and they said in unison with a tacit understanding: "In order to safeguard the honor of the five elders, we are willing to accept the truth.
The test of pills! But Mr. Li Xuan, you have to provide the pills!"
After saying that, they showed a look of disdain, which clearly said: We agreed, but you should bring out the truth pill, take it, take it! "Of course I will provide it, um... Master Ding
, Could you please lend me a quiet room?”
Li Xuan said.
Ding Zhen had been hiding in the crowd, watching the conflict between Li Xuan and the two elders with great interest. As the host of the banquet, he never showed up to smooth things over. This in itself is already worth pondering.
Something happened.
Although he flattered Li Xuan and gave him big gifts, in his heart Ding Zhen actually didn't take Li Xuan seriously.
In his opinion, without Xia Ruixue's intervention, Li Xuan would be a piece of garbage that could be swept into the gutter at any time, and how could he be qualified to talk and laugh with him.
With some inexplicable sense of humiliation, Ding Zhen chose to watch the fun.
He very much hopes that Li Xuan can lose face by the five elders, so that his psychology can be more balanced.
When Li Xuan opened his mouth to say hello, he could only get out of the crowd and said with a smile on his face: "Of course, Mr. Li Xuan, please come with me."
Li Xuan glanced at Zhang Da and Cheng Ke and said, "Wait for me for half an hour!"
