My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

Lee Seung-gan heard everything King Sumyeong and Queen Seondeok said clearly from outside.

At this moment, Inugami Oda said, "Your Majesty, stop arguing with them."

They are all foolish people who have been misled by the Tang people and cannot see the situation clearly. It is pointless for them to say anything more.

"Let's use torture."

Inugami Odakuchi was also intentionally trying to show off his bravery and decisiveness in front of the Queen.

King Shuming did not object, which meant he tacitly approved.

Looking at the two guards again, one of them held Fu Yu Feng Zhang's body in place, rendering him completely immobile.

Another guard branded the iron until it was red-hot, and then brought it down on Fuyu Fengzhang's chest.

However, at this moment,

Suddenly, a "snap" sound was heard.

The guard holding the branding iron had his right wrist broken as if struck by something.

The branding iron fell to the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! Who hit me with a hidden weapon?"

The guard looked down and saw a piece of flying yellow stone on the ground.

Everyone present was taken aback, wondering what was going on.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a person slipped in from the outside.

Everyone glanced at the person who had arrived and saw that it was none other than Li Chengan.

It turned out that Li Chenggan saw that the guard was really going to use a branding iron to brand Fuyu Fengzhang.

That's no joke.

After that blow, even if Fuyu Fengzhang didn't die, he would only be half alive.

How could an ordinary person endure such pain?

Li Chenggan bowed to King Sumin, Queen Sumin, and Queen Seondeok: "I am Li Chenggan. My arrival is somewhat abrupt. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

King Shuming was also secretly surprised, not knowing when Li Chengan had arrived in the Wa country, without any prior notice.

He knew that Li Chenggan was not someone to be trifled with.

Last time, Li Chenggan defeated a brown bear, and it's also said that he killed a shark at sea.

These are things that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Moreover, last time, he poisoned Li Chenggan and imprisoned him.

King Shuming, as expected of a seasoned veteran, was surprised but remained calm on the surface.

He laughed and said, "Who do we have here?"

It turns out he was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty.

"Since you're here, you're our guest. Please take a seat."

At this moment, someone added a table and chair next to Queen Seondeok, and the table was filled with wine and meat.

Li Chengan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the chair.

At this point, he was indeed a little hungry.

He drank wine from large bowls, ate meat with gusto, and was unrestrained and carefree.

Li Chenggan appeared indifferent on the surface, but was actually quite cautious, because he had learned his lesson here before.

From the moment Li Chengqian entered the palace...

Queen Seondeok of Silla never took her eyes off Lee Seung-gan.

Kim Deok-man discovered that Lee Seung-gan was incredibly handsome.

Li Chengqian's every move fascinated her.

Li Chengan nodded at her.

Inugami Mitaku knew that Li Chenggan was not someone to be trifled with.

Li Chengqian's sudden appearance left him somewhat at a loss.

King Shuming looked at Li Chengan and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, where have you come from?"

Li Chengan sat upright, his voice clear and resonant: "I come from Chang'an."

"Last time, you came here, and then, didn't you go back?"

Why are you here again?

Li Chengan put down his wine cup: "Your Majesty, you'll have to ask yourself that question."

King Shuming, not understanding Li Chengan's meaning, pleaded, "Please enlighten me, Your Highness!"

"Last time, I and Fuyu Fengzhang were imprisoned in the same cell."

"You're trying to kill me, aren't you?"

"Your Highness, what makes you say that?" King Shuming asked, glancing at Inu no Mita Kuchi, thinking to himself that it must have been you who made the decision on your own.

Li Chenggan waved his hand and said, "Let bygones be bygones."

We don't need to beat around the bush.

To put it another way, I hope Your Majesty will release Buyeo Pungjang.

"this--."

Before King Shuming could express his opinion, Inugami Mitako asked Li Chenggan, "Do you think that because you are the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, you want to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries?"

Are you trying to use your size to bully the smaller one?

Li Chenggan knew that Inugami Mita was arrogant and domineering, and extremely rude.

Li Chengan suppressed his anger: "Inuue Mitaku, you're wrong."

I am not using my power to oppress the weak.

Rather, we are here to mediate between you and Baekje, hoping to turn hostility into friendship.

Because once war breaks out, it's hard to say who will win and who will lose.

But it is the ordinary people who suffer.

Inugami Mitako sneered: "Baekje is a vassal state of Tang Dynasty, of course you're speaking on their side."

You guys wear trousers with a crotch.

You're not really an outsider, so how can you mediate this?

This is inappropriate!

It would be more plausible if a third-party country mediated.

Li Chenggan knew that Inu no Ueto no Kawa was difficult to talk to.

Moreover, he was used to being bossy and domineering in front of King Shuming.

Sometimes, he even overstepped his authority and issued orders on behalf of the king.

"Your Majesty, Fuyu Fengzhang came here as a hostage, and he has not done anything wrong."

But you've imprisoned him like a criminal; clearly, this is inappropriate.

King Shuming was naturally aware that if word got out that what they were doing...

The other vassal states certainly had reservations about the Wa people.

At this moment, Li Chengan walked up to the cage.

The guard clutched his wrist and stumbled back several steps in fright.

Li Chengan bent down, picked up the flying yellow stone he had just struck, put it in his pocket, and then said:

"Your Majesty, please give me the key. I want to release Fuyu Fengzhang."

King Shuming hesitated, and the Queen remained silent until she spoke up: "Your Majesty, I think the Crown Prince of Tang makes sense. Please give him the key."

So King Shuming said to Inuue Mitaku, "Give him the key!"

Inugami Mitaku didn't want to give the key to Li Chenggan, but seeing that the king had spoken, he dared not disobey.

Li Chenggan handed a set of keys to Li Chenggan.

Li Chenggan took it and personally unlocked Fuyu Fengzhang's cage, shackles, and chains on his hands and feet.

Li Chenggan noticed that Fuyu Fengzhang's neck, wrists, and ankles were all chafed raw.

Bloody.

Li Chengan asked with concern, "Prince Fengzhang, what do you think?"

Fuyu Fengzhang quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I never imagined I would see you again in this lifetime. Thank you!"

Li Chenggan waved his hand: "No need to thank me, quickly thank King Shuming, Queen and Queen Seondeok."

"Thank you, Your Majesty and Queen!" Buyeo Phongzhang bowed again.

Jin Deman looked at Li Chenggan with an admiring gaze, thinking to herself that she had discussed the matter with King Shuming for a long time, but King Shuming still wouldn't release him.

However, when Li Chenggan arrived, he released Fuyu Fengzhang from his prison cell with just a few words. It must be said that Li Chenggan was quite capable.

King Shuming said, "Crown Prince of the Great Tang, I will absolutely give you face and release Fuyu Fengzhang from prison."

but,

Let me make this clear to you.

As long as Baekje has not surrendered to our Wa (Japanese) state, Buyeo Pungjang will still not be free.

We will provide him with a comfortable living environment so that he no longer has to stay in a dark, damp cell.

"Fuyu Fengzhang cannot leave here for the time being."

Li Chenggan understood King Shuming's meaning: to release Buyeo Pungjang from prison.

However, they still lack personal freedom.

Li Chenggan thought to himself that King Shuming had already made concessions, so it was probably unlikely that he would be able to forcibly take Fuyu Fengzhang away at this point.
