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

After hearing Yeon Gaesomun's words, Li Chenggan was truly amazed, because he had previously thought Yeon Gaesomun was just a reckless and impulsive man like Dong Zhuo.

Unexpectedly, Yeon Gaesomun was not as simple as he thought.

Yeon Gaesomun's ability to distort the truth and spread rumors was truly beyond Li Chengqian's expectations.

Li Chenggan stood tall and pressed the cufflinks on his wrist: "Yeon Gaesomun, you don't need to spread rumors here!"

"I have come to the Wa (Japanese) Kingdom on business, what does it have to do with you?"

Yeon Gaesomun pursed his lips: "On the surface, it seems like it has nothing to do with us, but in reality, it is closely related."

This time, you came to the Kingdom of Wa, where you not only rescued Buyeo Pungjang, but also met the Queen of Silla.

I've already heard that you've bribed them both as soon as I got here.

That's nothing.

This shows that you, Li Chenggan, came with premeditation and ulterior motives.

Also, what's going on between you and this princess?

How did she end up here with you?

Does this mean there's something going on between you two?

Upon hearing this, Li Chenggan's expression changed slightly: "Yeon Gaesomun, stop talking nonsense here."

The princess has come here on business.

Princess Tianyan mustered her courage and took a step forward, raising her head: "Yeon Gaesomun, what do you mean by that? Even if there's some kind of ambiguous relationship between me and the Crown Prince of Tang, what's it to you!"

"Uh!" Yeon Gaesomun blushed as he was rebuked by Princess Jeon.

Lee Seung-gyeon's gaze was fixed on Yeon Gaesomun: "I was just looking for you."

"Last time, when I was in Baekje, wasn't it you who set fire to try and kill me and the Baekje princess?"

"No, that wasn't my idea; it was Buyeo Long's."

Yeon Gaesomun shifted all the blame onto Buyeo Yong.

Upon hearing this, Buyeo Ryong's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "How could Yeon Gaesomun say such a thing?"

Wasn't it you who made me do that that time?

You said that Li Chenggan's arrival in Baekje to deliver a message was a perfect opportunity to kill him and eliminate any future trouble.

You told me not to pity my sister's life.

You said that Buyeo Pungmi has fallen in love with Lee Seung-gan.

You told me to kill Fuyu Pungmi along with him, how can you now put all the blame on me?

Buyeo Yongjin wanted to retort to Yeon Gaesomun, but he was afraid of Yeon Gaesomun.

I didn't dare to confront him directly.

He had no choice but to swallow his anger and suppress it.

"Your Highness, I think you've misunderstood that matter."

That time, I don't know how it happened, it suddenly caught fire.

Think about it, my sister Fuyu Fengmei is still with you, how could I possibly set fire to your house?

"If that were the case, wouldn't that mean my sister would be burned to death too?"

Li Chenggan sneered inwardly, thinking, "You make it sound nice, but you just want to burn me and Fuyu Fengmei together. Do you think I don't know that?"

However, Li Chengan thought again that the matter was already in the past, and there was no point in talking about it anymore.

Li Chenggan, with his hands behind his back, looked up at the roof: "Buyu Long, did you suggest to King Shuming that your brother Buyeo Pungjang be killed?"

"This—," Fu Yulong blushed upon hearing this.

He wondered how Li Chenggan could know about this, since it had been secretly mentioned to King Shuming. "No such thing," he thought. "Fuyu Fengzhang is my brother; how could I possibly come up with such a suggestion?"
