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

Yeon Gaesomun uttered two harsh words, and then, together with Buyeo Long, they helped each other and prepared to leave the inn.

"Stop! Do you think you can just leave like this?" Qin Ying shouted.

Yeon Gaesomun stopped, turned around, looked at Qin Ying warily, and asked, "What else do you want?"

Qin Ying put her hands on her hips: "There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"You came to kill our crown prince, failed, and now you want to leave?"

As Qin Ying finished speaking, she picked up Yeon Gaesomun's sixth throwing knife and held it in her right hand.

"I'll cut off both of your ears to teach you a lesson, otherwise you won't remember."

Upon hearing this, Yeon Gaesomun and Buyeo Yong's expressions changed.

Yeon Gaesomun's hands trembled as he said, "Qin Ying, you can't treat us like this. I am an envoy from Goguryeo, and Buyeo Long is the crown prince of Baekje."

We should be treated with courtesy.

Qin Ying didn't care about any of that.

He raised his knife, ready to strike!

Seeing this, Li Chengan waved his hand: "Qin Ying, let them go."

"Your Highness, we cannot let them get away with this so easily."

If we let them go like this, they'll take advantage of us.

Li Chengan shook his head and sighed: "When will this cycle of revenge end?"

"I hope that after they return, they will reflect on their actions, keep the people in mind, prioritize the overall situation, and refrain from provoking any further conflict with the Tang Dynasty."

"They are incorrigible; the only way to deal with people like them is to fight fire with fire!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian felt that Qin Ying's words made some sense.

but,

Li Chenggan then thought that his purpose in coming to the Wa Kingdom was to mediate relations between the Wa Kingdom and Baekje.

If I were to provoke a conflict because of myself, I would be going against my original intentions.

Li Chenggan stared at Qin Ying: "Return the knife to Yeon Gaesomun."

"Alright, I'll pay it back!"

Although Qin Ying was very unwilling.

However, he dared not disobey Li Chengan's orders.

He threw the knife in his hand to Yeon Gaesomun.

Yeon Gaesomun reached out and caught it, inserting it into the calf of his right leg.

Yeon Gaesomun and Buyeo Yong left in a sorry state.

at this time,

Songtsen Gampo, Queen Seondeok, Buyeo Pungjang, Buyeo Pungmye, and Medicine Master Hyeko, among others, all rushed over.

Everyone started asking what had just happened.

Li Chengan then briefly recounted what had happened.

Fuyu Fengmei quickly stepped forward and took Li Chengqian's hand, looking him up and down, left and right, and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you alright? Are you injured?"

Li Chengan shook his head: "I'm fine, it was just a false alarm."

"That's good, thank goodness. If anything had happened to you, I would have fought Yeon Gaesomun to the death."

And my elder brother, Buyeo Ryong, is truly outrageous.

He's blindly associating with Yeon Gaesomun; he'll suffer the consequences sooner or later.

When Pharmacist Huizi saw that Buyeo Pungmi and Lee Seunggan were behaving very intimately, she felt extremely jealous.

Her eyes were fixed on them both: "What are you two doing?"

Li Chengan quickly withdrew his hand, his expression slightly embarrassed.

Queen Seondeok's eyes never left Lee Seung-gan after she entered the room.

She could tell that Buyeo Pungmi and Yakushi Hyeja were deeply in love with Lee Seung-gan: "Your Highness, you are not injured; this is a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune."

"Huh? Who's that woman lying on the ground?"
