Chapter 204 The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Prince’s residence.

Li Chengqian put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the sky outside.

There was continuous drizzle and heavy clouds.

It’s really strange that he ran out in such weather and hasn’t come back yet.

Just as Li Chengqian was pondering and getting ready to leave, he heard a conversation outside.

“It’s just the beginning of autumn, and we’re still a few days away from the end of summer heat. With this rain, the weather is actually starting to get colder.”

“It’s a bit weird indeed.”

“Could it be that this rain has sent us directly into late autumn?”

“Hey, that’s hard to say…”

Su Chen and Sun Qiang walked in from outside, chatting and laughing. After seeing Li Chengqian who had been waiting for a long time, they greeted him one after another.

Li Chengqian sat back down and said, “If I hadn’t heard you guys talking, I would have really left this time.”

Su Chen: “What do you want to see me for?”

Li Chengqian said with a smile, “Of course I came to thank you in person.”

Su Chen waved his hand, “Ruining Mu Chi’s reputation is not just for you.”

“I see.”

Li Chengqian said with a smile, “But no matter what, King Jiangxia must accept this favor.”

Su Chen smiled and said that Li Dao Zong must acknowledge this favor.

after all.

If it wasn’t his idea, how could Mu Chi become famous in Chang’an City?
From today on, anyone who wants to agree to the marriage will have to consider whether other people will bring up Mu Chi.

“By the way, Mr. Sun went to the Princess’s Mansion today.”

“But Princess Changle’s condition has improved?”

“Exactly.”

Li Chengqian sighed, “This is all thanks to you. If you hadn’t found the location of Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, it would have been difficult to find this medical book, let alone cure her qi disease.”

“I went to the princess’s mansion today to check on her. Li Zhi has recovered well and looks much better than before.”

“Old Sun gave me a list of medicinal herbs. As long as he finds the herbs on it, he will be 70% to 80% sure of curing Hao Lizhi’s qi disease.”

Su Chen nodded, “This is a good thing.”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, “I have already written a letter about this matter and sent it to Jiucheng Palace.”

“Father is also particularly concerned about Li Zhi’s condition. When he heard that I sent people to look for Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases, he threatened to kill all those who hid the medical book.”

Su Chen grinned and said, isn’t that so?
Li Lizhi could still be saved, but Empress Changsun died in his arms.

She married him at the age of thirteen and accompanied him from Taiyuan. Not only did she win a lot of support for him from Li Yuan’s harem, but she also personally encouraged the generals during the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

Any one of these would be enough to make Li Shimin go on a killing spree.

“I have stated these things in the letter, and I don’t know whether the emperor will reward you.”

“Probably not.”

Su Chen smiled and said, “I am just a profit-seeking businessman now. He is the emperor who is high above us. What kind of reward can he give me?”

“The pillar of the country, or should we send another plaque?”

“Haha, that’s not sure.”

Li Chengqian smiled and said, “By the way, I heard that Lu Dongzan and his gang reported Xu Qizhuang to the government office today. Did you go over and see what happened?”

Su Chen: “I can only grit my teeth and swallow it. What else can I do?”

Li Chengqian nodded and said softly, “Have you ever thought about how they managed to collect 100,000 taels of silver in just one or two hours, after spending so much money during this period of time?”

Su Chen shook his head and laughed, “Is there any need to think about this? There must be someone secretly helping them. It’s either your fourth brother or your fifth brother. Is there anyone else?”

Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly. As expected, nothing could be hidden from him.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, “It was indeed Li Tai who did this. I got the news that he urgently transferred 50,000 taels of silver and sent it to the Honglu Temple.”

“but.”

Li Chengqian couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “They calculated everything, but they couldn’t predict that Xu Qizhuang was deeply in possession of your true teachings.”

“Not only did he fail to suppress the matter of Mu Chi playing with sheep, he also gave us 100,000 taels of silver for nothing.”

“By the way, lend me some money.”

Su Chen’s face fell, “Good fellow, you said so much, just to pave the way for this last sentence, right?”

“Not entirely.”

Li Chengqian laughed, “After all, the reward I asked for for you has really been sent out.”

“Okay, okay, how much silver is this? Send someone to inform Su Wang.”

“it is good!”

……

Honglu Temple.

Lu Dongzan looked expressionlessly at Mu Chi who was kneeling in front of him.

Mu Chi wanted to die at this moment. In front of him was a copy of today’s Tianxia newspaper, on which was a picture of him displaying his majestic power.

“My Lord, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life.”

“Spare you?”

Lu Dongzan had a blank expression on his face. “Do you know how much trouble you have brought to our Tubo this time?!”

Mu Chi banged his head on the ground and said, “I know my crime, I know my crime.”

Lu Dongzan said coldly: “If it weren’t for the fact that you were responsible for the safety of the envoys’ team this time, I would have ordered someone to chop off your head just now!”

Mu Chi felt relieved and said hurriedly, “Prime Minister, I was framed.”

Lu Dongzan: “Can’t you see the true face?”

Mu Chi fell silent.

Zabu said in a deep voice: “We have secretly investigated the herbal medicine shop where you went to get the medicine. The aphrodisiac you used was just delivered today!”

Mu Chi looked up suddenly, “Who did it?”

Zabu: “The most likely person now is the man behind Tianxia Newspaper, Su Chen.”

Su Chen?

Mu Chi looked confused. He and Su Chen had no grudge against each other, so why did Su Chen frame him?
“Su Chen has a close relationship with King Jiangxia’s daughter Li Xueyan.”

Zabu’s words made Mu Chi understand the seriousness of the matter. Because his constant requests for marriage had already displeased King Jiangxia, and there was something unclear between Su Chen and the princess, so he intervened!
“I’m going to kill him!”

Mu Chi suddenly stood up, held the sword at his waist and was ready to rush out to cut Su Chen into pieces!

Bang!
Lu Dongzan slammed the table suddenly, and Mu Chi, who had just taken two steps, stopped suddenly.

“You think the trouble you’ve caused isn’t big enough this time?”

“Great Prime Minister…”

“Your Majesty!”

Mu Chi knelt down.

Lu Dongzan said slowly, “This time, the prince opposed the marriage first, and then Su Chen interfered. The prince’s party members don’t think highly of us!”

“but!”

“Tian Khan doesn’t have only one son. The fourth son Li Tai and the fifth son Li You both have the chance to succeed him!”

“Since the marriage alliance failed, what we need to do now is to make them kill each other as much as possible and repeat the Xuanwu Gate Incident!”

“Now that Li Tai has extended an olive branch to us, it’s a great opportunity for us to get closer to each other!”

Mu Chi: “But Li Tai has been demoted to a prince.”

Lu Dongzan: “But he still hasn’t left Chang’an City, he is still the son of Tian Khan!”

“Although his title has been demoted and his strength has been greatly reduced, this is also a great opportunity for us to get closer!”

“If he is still the high and mighty His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, how could he take the initiative to send us money and help us?”

Mu Chi: “…”

Lu Dongzan said again: “From today on, do not mention the marriage anymore. I will personally write a letter and send it back to Tubo.”

“When the time comes, I will not be able to help you no matter how the Zamp handles you. But before that, you still have a chance to redeem yourself by making meritorious contributions!”

Mu Chi prostrated himself on the ground, “Please teach me, Prime Minister!”

“Li Tai!”

Lu Dongzan spoke slowly, “Now the prince’s power is growing stronger day by day, and Li Tai is being oppressed to the point of being unable to breathe!”

“He needs us to help him regain some face!”

Zabu frowned and said, “Prime Minister, given his current situation, would he do this?”

“Most definitely.”

Lu Dongzan sneered, “Mu Chi, go to the Prince’s Mansion in person and visit Li Tai to thank him for his money. Although we didn’t succeed this time, his friendship will be remembered in our hearts.”

“Also, please ask him to come over for a chat.”

“Just say…”

There was a hint of murderous intent in Lu Dongzan’s eyes, “I have a way to get rid of Su Chen!”

Ok?
Zabu’s mind moved. If that was the case, there would be great potential!
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. What’s more, they both suffered defeat at the hands of Su Chen one after another!

If there is a chance to get rid of Su Chen, I believe Li Tai will definitely not refuse!
“Yes!”

Mu Chi nodded heavily and then left quickly.

Zabu said slowly: “Prime Minister, what do you think is the way to get rid of Su Chen?”

Lu Dongzan slowly closed his eyes.

Su Chen’s detailed information kept emerging in his mind, and one plan after another quickly emerged.

“Su Chen’s business!”

……

County Prince’s Mansion.

Apart from changing his name, Li Tai still lived in the same place.

Everything is business as usual.

At this moment, Li Tai was staring at the newspaper in his hand, stunned.

Is this the so-called sheep playing picture?
Mu Chi did it?

incredible!
“What kind of aphrodisiac did he take that has such a horrible effect?”

“I don’t know about this.”

Du Chuke coughed and forcibly diverted Li Tai’s attention back, “However, I know that the fifty thousand taels of silver you took out have gone down the drain.”

“not at all.”

Li Tai smiled and shook his head, “That was given to Lu Dongzan. As long as they accept it, they must acknowledge this favor.”

Du Chuke nodded. Although Lu Dongzan did not achieve his goal, he had already taken the money. He couldn’t just pull up his trousers and ignore him, right?
This is Chang’an City!
“Your Highness, the Tibetan envoy Mu Chi requests an audience.”

“Oh?”

Li Tai put away the newspaper on the table with a smile and said casually, “Please ask him to come in.”

“Foreign minister Mu Chi pays respect to His Royal Highness the King of Wei.”

“Haha, I am no longer the King of Wei, but the Prince of Yongzhou.”

Li Tai corrected Mu Chi’s mistake with a smile.

Mu Chi’s smile did not diminish. “In Mu Chi’s heart, Your Highness is still the Prince of Wei.”

Li Tai smiled and asked, “General Mu Chi, why are you here this time?”

Mu Chi bowed deeply and said, “Thank you for your help this time, Your Highness. Although the result is not satisfactory, Mu Chi will remember your kindness in his heart.”

“General Mu Chi, you are too polite.”

Li Tai waved his hand and asked, “General Mu Chi, do you know who has schemed against you?”

“Su Chen!”

Mu Chi gritted his teeth and said, “The Prime Minister has already investigated everything. I was tricked by that Su Chen kid!”

“If I don’t take revenge, I will not be a human being!”

Li Tai and the other man looked at each other, and Du Chuke said in a deep voice: “General Mu Chi, Su Chen is not an ordinary person. It is not easy to get rid of him.”

Mu Chi nodded and said in a deep voice: “I came here this time because of this person.”

“Oh?”

Li Tai was very interested, “What do you mean?”

“The Prime Minister invites His Majesty to go to the Honglu Temple to discuss how to get rid of Su Chen!”
