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

Qin Ying also wanted to make a name for herself in front of Li Chengqian.

He thought to himself that he always caused trouble, and this time, he had to seize the opportunity to teach Yeon Gaesomun a lesson.

On the surface, Qin Ying seemed rather simple-minded.

In fact, when it comes to getting down to business, they are anything but hesitant.

The two fought for about twenty rounds without a clear winner.

Yeon Gaesomun felt he had lost face terribly today.

Not only,

He couldn't even beat Li Chenggan, let alone Qin Ying. If this got back to Goguryeo, how would he ever face anyone again?

Thinking of this, his eyes darted around, and an idea came to him.

At this moment, Qin Ying placed her hands on Yeon Gaesomun's shoulders.

Qin Ying strained her arms and lowered her weight.

Even though Yeon Gaesomun was as strong as an ox, he felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ying raised her right foot and kicked Yeon Gaesomun in the abdomen.

Yeon Gaesomun saw it clearly and quickly stepped back.

Then, he bent down, lifted his clothes from his right calf, and pulled out a dagger.

People only knew that Yeon Gaesomun carried five swords; no one expected that he had a sixth.

Yeon Gaesomun, holding a knife in his right hand, thrust it towards Qin Ying's right calf.

Qin Ying was only focused on kicking him; she never imagined he had a knife on him.

Seeing that Qin Ying's right leg was about to be stabbed, it was too late for Qin Ying to dodge.

At that moment, Li Chenggan kicked Yeon Gaesomun's right wrist with his right foot, knocking the knife out of Yeon Gaesomun's hand.

Yeon Gaesomun originally thought that this strike would surely hit Qin Ying's calf, thus venting his anger.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengan acted in time, and he felt a heart-wrenching pain surge through him.

My right wrist is broken, and it swells up really badly.

He was in so much pain that he grimaced, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his cheeks.

Yeon Gaesomun pointed at Lee Seung-gan with his left finger: "You're breaking the rules. We're having a martial arts match, how dare you interfere?"

Li Chengan withdrew his right foot and sneered: "You say I don't follow the rules, then tell me, have you followed the rules?"

As I just explained, they told you to remove all the knives from your person, but you still kept one hidden, and then, taking advantage of Qin Ying's unpreparedness, you ambushed him.

Since you broke the rules first, you can't blame me.

"This—." Yeon Gaesomun was speechless.

Buyeo Ryong wanted to say a few good words for Yeon Gaesomun.

However, he found Li Chenggan's words to be reasonable and well-founded, and he could not refute them.

Just now, Qin Ying was also quite frightened. He thought he would be stabbed by Yeon Gaesomun, but he was unharmed.

He said with an embarrassed smile, "Your Highness, I'm so grateful to you just now."

Li Chengan rolled his eyes at him: "Don't you really like Wu Song?"

"Is Wu Song as thoughtless as you?"

"Your Highness, I—"

Li Chengan waved his hand: "No need to say anything more. Just be careful next time. It was so dangerous just now."

If you get stabbed, can you save that leg?

"Your Highness is right, I will keep that in mind," Qin Ying said, blushing slightly. She then turned to face Yeon Gaesomun, "I heard you were the greatest warrior of Goguryeo, but I never imagined you would be so despicable."

What's the difference between you and those lowlifes in the underworld?

"How was it? How did that kick from our Highness just taste?"

Yeon Gaesomun, panting heavily, said, "Don't get too cocky. We'll settle this score sooner or later!"
