Tang Dynasty: The Holy Prince, the Dragon that Reigns Over the World

Chapter 56: Cheng Qian is assassinated, the crown prince inspects Goryeo

Li Chengqian led Li Ke, Li Tai, Zhuge Fu, Li Ling'er and five guards, and left Liaodong City in disguise. Li Guangwei, Deng Xiaohu, Wang Lianghe and Wu Qianyuan followed in secret with their secret service.

The group came to the village outside Liaodong City at a leisurely pace. They were thirsty and decided to go into the village to rest. Not long after they entered the village, a woman came out of a courtyard in the village, carrying a wooden bucket in her hand, apparently going to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water.

"Madam, we are passers-by passing by here and would like to ask for a bowl of hot water to drink." Li Chengqian shouted.

The woman raised her head, and everyone was attracted by her appearance. Her lips were as red as rouge, and as beautiful as peach blossoms, which made people's heart beat faster.

"Hey, what a young hero, a holy prince. He is nothing but a lecher. No matter how brave you are, you will fall under my skirt.

However, the three Li Chengqian brothers are much more handsome than in the portraits. I will play with them a few more times and then suck them dry. "The woman, Ghost Fairy, thought to herself. Then Ghost Fairy smiled and said.

"If you don't mind, please follow me home and drink a pot of hot water."

"I don't mind, I don't mind. Thank you for your help, young lady." Li Chengqian stared at Gui Yaoji and said with a silly smile.

Several people came to the front hall of the courtyard. Gui Yaoji said she was going to boil some water and asked them to sit down. Li Chengqian looked at Gui Yaoji with an obsessed look on his face, and Li Linger frowned in dissatisfaction after seeing this.

Gui Yaoji brought a kettle and poured water for everyone. Just as everyone was about to drink, Li Linger threw the bowl of water to the ground with anger in her pretty eyes, and said jealously.

"My husband, you are going too far. What did you promise to the sisters before you came out? You said you would not look for another woman, but what are you doing now? When you see this young lady, you can't take your eyes off her."

"Li Ling'er, stop messing around. When your husband sees that you are so beautiful, what's wrong with looking at you a few more times? Besides, what's wrong with a man having three wives and four concubines?" Li Chengqian said angrily.

"You, you are such an ungrateful man. Just stay here and enjoy your beauty. I won't serve you anymore. I will go back to Chang'an and won't hinder you from having fun with other women." Li Linger said angrily, and then burst into tears.

"Hurry up and catch up and protect him. I'll wait for you here." Li Chengqian frowned as he looked at the stunned faces of the people. Everyone woke up as if from a dream and hurriedly chased after him.

"I'm sorry, young lady, I made you embarrassed." Li Chengqian forced a smile.

"My dear, there is no need to blame yourself. Women just need to be coaxed." The Ghost Fairy said with a smile.

"My lady is so beautiful. If I could spend a night with her, I would have no regrets even if I died." Li Chengqian said obsessedly, looking at Gui Yaoji's face.

"Really?" said the Ghost Fairy with a charming smile.

"Really, my lady, please obey me." Li Chengqian said anxiously.

Gui Yaoji shyly turned away and nodded imperceptibly. Li Chengqian walked over happily and hugged Gui Yaoji, and a captivating fragrance came to his face.

Li Chengqian felt his whole body agitated, an irresistible desire rushing to his head. Li Chengqian turned Gui Yaoji around and was about to kiss her sweet lips. Gui Yaoji's face flushed, and she closed her eyes and waited.

Gui Yaoji waited for a while, but she felt nothing on her lips. She opened her eyes in confusion, only to see Li Chengqian looking at her with a playful expression.

"My dear, why are you looking at me like that? I have already promised to go to Wushan with you, but you have changed your mind? Are you playing a joke on me?" The Ghost Fairy said, pretending to be heartbroken and pitiful.

"Hehe, if I really kiss you, I'm afraid I'll be sucked dry by you, an old witch. Besides, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares if I kiss a woman over 60 years old." Li Chengqian let go of the Ghost Witch and sneered.

"My dear, what do you mean by sucked dry? What old woman? I don't understand what you are talking about. I really fell in love with you at first sight." The Ghost Demon Lady grabbed Li Chengqian's hand, her palms slightly sweaty, and said anxiously.

"Alright, old witch, your stuff is of no use to me.

The demon girl is from Japan and is 63 years old this year. She was originally the adopted daughter of the Japanese demon Kamikawa Yoshiura. She has learned the evil art of taking yang to replenish yin since she was young. She is lustful and dissolute by nature, good at seduction, and her body can emit sweat that can make people faint. Her blood is extremely poisonous.

At the age of 16, she sucked her adoptive father dry and then committed countless crimes in Japan. She was forced to join the Demon Six in exchange for providing a cauldron. "What do you think, am I wrong, old witch?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"It's impossible. No one can escape my aphrodisiac, and no one can survive being knocked unconscious after coming into contact with my sweat." Ghost Fairy asked doubtfully.

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian spat out a Qingxin Pill from under his tongue and tore off a thin layer of fake skin on his hand.

"Do you understand?" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"You are indeed prepared. However, you are alone now, I want to see how capable you are." Ghost Fairy said. After that, Fujikawa Ichiro and the other six ghosts walked out of another room.

"Li Chengqian, today is the day you die." After Gui Duwan said this, he opened a medicine bottle and a puff of yellow smoke floated towards Li Chengqian.

"Oh, you're using poison? Let me play with you." Wang Lianghe's joking voice came from outside the door. Deng Xiaohu kicked the door open and walked in with Wang Lianghe, Wu Qianyuan, Li Guangwei and Li Linger.

Wang Lianghe waved his hand and threw a porcelain bottle, and a puff of white smoke rose up. The yellow smoke hit the white smoke, like water into boiling oil, sizzling, and disappeared completely in a short while.

"Tang Poison King?" Gui Du Wan was surprised to see his poison being easily neutralized. He then became extremely alert and on full alert.

Wang Lianghe smiled without saying anything, like an otherworldly sage. He raised his right hand and pointed, then snapped his fingers with his left hand and stopped moving.

When everyone was wondering, they saw Gui Du Wan bleeding from all seven orifices and falling to the ground dead. Fujikawa Ichiro and the other six ghosts were shocked when they saw this, and none of them could see how Wang Lianghe did it.

"Old poisoner, you are getting more and more skilled in using poison. I couldn't even tell when you poisoned me." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"My lord, there is nothing to be surprised about. I only released a few poisonous insects before I came in. The poisonous insects I raise are no bigger than mosquitoes and flies, but they are extremely poisonous. If you don't look carefully, it will be very difficult to find that the Japanese child who was poisoned was killed by my poisonous insects." Wang Lianghe stroked his beard proudly and said.

"This level, wow, must have been taught by my master's wife. Hey, that's not right. When the poisonous insects you raise attack others, aren't they controlled by you using voice or drugs? You snapped your left fingers to give the order, so why did you raise your right hand and point?" Wu Qianyuan asked with a frown.

"You don't understand this, you're just pretending to be so profound. I have to say, you really look like a hermit with this kind of pretense." Deng Xiaohu gave a thumbs up. Wu Qianyuan suddenly understood what he said, while Wang Lianghe was speechless.

"You two idiots, I was just trying to confuse the enemy. I am a master, why would I need to pretend?"

Ichiro Fujikawa and the other six ghosts were all angry when they saw that Li Chengqian and his group did not take them seriously at all.

"Ah Hu, Qian Yuan, please respect the other side. After all, they are the number one ninja in Japan. Look, they are almost pissed off to death by you." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Master, it's not that I don't respect them, I just can't. The number one ninja in Japan was sent back to his hometown by the poisonous old man after just one encounter. With this level, I really can't respect him." Deng Xiaohu spread his hands and said in embarrassment.

"Tang dog, stop being so presumptuous, I'll kill you." Gui Lishi shouted angrily, and then rushed towards Li Chengqian wielding a mace. Deng Xiaohu drew his saber, rushed to Li Chengqian, and swung the mace away with one blow. He sneered.

"Japanese slave, if you want to hurt my master, first ask the knife in my hand whether it agrees or not. You are a ghost warrior, right? The information says that your mother is a prostitute, and you don't even know who your father is.

You don't look like the Japanese slaves, your mother didn't have sex with prostitutes from other countries and gave birth to you, did she?" Deng Xiaohu sneered. Hearing this, Gui Lishi got furious and fought with Deng Xiaohu.

"First he called me a bastard, then he called me a bastard. Ah Hu's mouth is getting more and more poisonous." Li Chengqian laughed, covering his head.

"It's all because of my husband. This kid has been with my husband for many years, and his mouth is becoming more and more like my husband's, as mean as he can be." Li Linger said with a smile. Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and looked at the field.

Deng Xiaohu and Gui Lishi fought for less than ten rounds. Deng Xiaohu seized the opportunity, chopped Gui Lishi down with one sword, and was about to kill him.

Suddenly, Guishewan's hands shook, and two colorful poisonous snakes flew towards Li Chengqian's face. There were two crossbow blasts, and two crossbow arrows flew from behind, nailing the poisonous snakes to the wall. Then there were two more crossbow blasts, and the crossbow arrows hit Guishewan's face one after another. Guishewan screamed and fell to the ground and died.

Li Guangwei flew up and stabbed the ground in front of Li Chengqian with a knife. A large amount of blood flowed along the knife and gushed out from the ground. Li Guangwei used both hands to pull the ghost rat pill out of the ground and threw it aside.

Wu Qianyuan fired another arrow from the crossbow towards the shadow beside Li Chengqian. Kitaro dodged the arrow and jumped out. Wu Qianyuan spoke coldly.

"Hehe, you're being cold and mean in front of me? I'm the best hidden arrow expert in the Jinyiwei. You still want to play tricks on me? I'm the 'King of Secret Spies' appointed by the saint himself, and I made my fortune by tricking people."

Deng Xiaohu didn't even turn his body from beginning to end. He stabbed Gui Lishi to death with one knife, cut off his head and returned to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian smiled and said.

"How is it, Fujikawa Ichiro? You, a group of seven, have come across the ocean to assassinate me. Not only have you failed, but four of you have died. Surrender, and I will spare your lives."

"We, the Great Japanese Ninja, have never surrendered after a mission failed. Today's assassination attempt failed, let's retreat." After saying that, Fujikawa Ichiro, Kitaro, and Kitano ran to the yard behind them, trying to escape by climbing over the wall.

Li Guangwei sneered and whistled. Dozens of Anbu members climbed over the wall and blocked Fujikawa Ichiro and the other three in the courtyard.

"Hey, why are you running? Can you run away? You came to the Tang Dynasty to assassinate me, and now you want to run away when the assassination failed. You come as you please and leave as you please. What do you think the Tang Dynasty is? Your back garden? Just surrender obediently, I have you in my grasp." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Li Chengqian, you have planned this all along, and I have fallen into your trap. Gentlemen, today we have no choice but to make a strong effort to assassinate Li Chengqian and complete the mission to preserve my integrity. Gentlemen, life and death will be left to fate." Fujikawa Ichiro shouted.

Then the three of them rushed towards Li Chengqian, and the Anbu members surrounded them tightly and fought with them. Fujikawa Ichiro killed several people, rushed to Li Chengqian, raised his knife and chopped him.

Li Chengqian kicked out like lightning, and kicked Fujikawa Ichiro away. Li Chengqian then snatched Deng Xiaohu's saber and stabbed Fujikawa Ichiro. Fujikawa Ichiro was defenseless in the air, and was stabbed through the heart and died.

Seeing this, Kitaro and Kitaro rushed to the wall in fear, trying to escape. Kitaro was about to use her charm to make the Anbu members around her faint and pass out.

Suddenly, there was a pain in her heart, and a sharp thorn pierced through her heart from behind. Ghost Fairy turned back in horror and said in disbelief.

"When did you get behind me?"

"Hehe, everyone knows that the six concubines of the Crown Prince are gentle and virtuous, and are all rare beauties in the world. But few people in this world know that the Crown Prince's concubine Li Ling'er is secretly the chief instructor of the Jinyiwei Anbu. The Anbu's stealth and assassination techniques were all taught by me personally.

You old witch, you dare to seduce my man, die." Li Ling'er said, twisted the thorn and pulled it out.

The Ghost Fairy fell to the ground and died with an unwilling look on her face, and instantly turned into an old woman with white hair and a wrinkled face.

"Huh, it's so ugly. Fortunately I didn't bite it. Ling'er's stealth and assassination skills are really getting better and better." Li Chengqian thought when he saw the ghost demon girl turned into an old woman.

"Prince of Tang, I surrender." Seeing that the demon girl was dead, Kitaro put down his weapon and knelt down to surrender. Li Chengqian nodded to Wang Lianghe. Wang Lianghe walked to Kitaro with a sinister smile and threw a bottle of "One Day Ascension Powder" in front of Kitaro.

"Well, eat it. Don't worry, you won't die. If you don't eat it, I'll chop you into pieces." Kitaro picked it up and ate it. Li Chengqian ordered Li Guangwei to lead the Anbu to keep a close watch on it. He led the rest of the people back to Liaodong City.

After Li Chengqian dealt with the Japanese assassination attempt, he, Li Tai and Li Ke spent a month inspecting and comforting the important cities of Goryeo, the Andong Protectorate and the Goryeo garrison.

The day before Li Chengqian was about to leave for Silla, he had a banquet in the palace of the King of Goryeo with members of the inspection team, important officials of the Goryeo Kingdom, main generals of the Andong Protectorate and Queen Seondeok of Silla.

"Uncle Maogong (Li Ji's courtesy name), you have worked tirelessly to serve the Tang Dynasty in Goryeo. Thank you for your hard work. Let me offer you a drink." Li Chengqian walked up to Li Ji with a glass of wine and said with a smile, then drank the wine in the glass.

Li Ji stood up hurriedly, leaned over and picked up the wine glass. "I dare not toast you in your honor. I have received your grace and I have no way to repay you. I can only use my old body to do my best for the Tang Dynasty and Your Majesty." Li Chengqian smiled and helped Li Ji up, raised his glass and looked around.

"Gentlemen, over the past year, you have worked hard to assist my brother in governing Goryeo, and have made remarkable achievements. When I return, I will report to the Saint what I have seen and heard during this inspection, and ask for your credit. I also hope that you will work harder to assist my brother in governing Goryeo in the future.

Gentlemen, no matter where you were from before, you are all from the Tang Dynasty now. As long as you are loyal and responsible and do practical things for the Tang Dynasty, the Li family will treat you equally and will never treat you unfairly. Come on, gentlemen, drink this cup with me. "

Everyone stood up, raised their cups and leaned forward.

"Your subjects will follow the instructions of the prince."

While everyone was feasting, a fast horse came to report that Li Yuan was seriously ill and dying, so Li Shimin ordered Li Chengqian and Li Tai to return to Chang'an by fast horse.

Li Chengqian was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly ordered the banquet to end and prepare to return to Beijing immediately. After bidding farewell to Li Ke and Shande reluctantly, he ordered everyone to return to Chang'an as fast as possible.
