On the way back, Li Chengqian said nothing.

His thoughts lingered on the imperial way expounded by Li Shimin.

It is difficult to become an emperor.

And it is even more difficult to be a good emperor.

As for becoming a sage king like Li Shimin, it is extremely difficult.

Li Shimin's profound insights into the way of emperor gradually solved some of the problems Li Chengqian encountered on his way to becoming emperor.

At this moment, his inner understanding of how to be a good emperor has become clearer and more thorough.

Mr. Qi glanced sideways from time to time, secretly looking at Li Chengqian who was in deep thought, full of doubts.

He found it difficult to guess what Li Chengqian and Li Shimin had secretly discussed, which led to his silence along the way.

As he was walking, Li Chengqian suddenly heard a loud shout: "Boss, be careful!"

Qin Biwu rushed forward instantly and blocked Li Chengqian's way.

The man standing in front of him was hit hard by Qin Biwu's burly body and fell to the ground without any resistance.

Li Chengqian finally reacted, and with a look of confusion and astonishment in his eyes, he watched everything happening in front of him.

I was too focused on thinking about something just now, and the group of people in front of me happened to block this already narrow path.

I wasn't paying attention and almost bumped into it.

Qin Biwu reacted quickly and rushed forward to push the person in front of him away.

Mr. Qi walked over quickly with a worried look on his face and asked, "Are you okay, boss?"

Li Chengqian shook his head slightly, forcing a smile, and said, "What could possibly happen to me? It's the guy who got knocked down by the waiter up front who's in trouble, right?"

Li Chengqian actually felt a little guilty.

Although the other party was also at fault, with so many people blocking the road in a disorderly manner, he himself did not pay attention to the road conditions after all.

It’s not easy for the people of the Tang Dynasty to make money!

Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly froze.

The group of people in front of me were as short as dwarfs, with strange hairstyles and a funny mustache under their noses.

That look, that smell, it’s just “so authentic”!

Li Chengqian reacted instantly.

Japanese pirates! What a narrow road for enemies!

The rich silver mountains in Japan could not help but emerge in his mind. If they could be mined and the Tang Dynasty's copper standard could be transformed into a silver standard, the Tang Dynasty's economy would surely soar.

The Japanese pirates saw their own people being knocked down, and this was a remote path.

Although this path can accommodate two carriages running side by side, there are only more than a hundred seemingly ordinary "civilians" on it at the moment.

The Japanese pirates seemed to be the most loyal "suck-ups" of the Tang Dynasty, and each of them could speak fluent Tang Dynasty Mandarin.

On weekdays, they always look servile and fawning wherever they go.

At this moment, they felt that they were in a strong position, and when they heard Mr. Qi call Li Chengqian "shopkeeper", the ugly faces hidden in their hearts were instantly exposed.

Each of them tightly grasped the pirated Tang sword at their waist and glared at Li Chengqian and the other two men with a fierce look.

"You hit our people, pay!"

They shouted at the top of their lungs, their voices particularly harsh in the quiet path.

Li Chengqian listened to their words and glanced at the group of dwarfs with disdain.

There are quite a few people here, and there's a lot of merchandise. They don't look like small business people, do they? Could they be envoys? But isn't this too shabby and shabby?

Li Chengqian's silence and gaze made the Japanese pirates think that he was afraid, and they became more aggressive and tried to surround him directly.

Qin Biwu was unafraid. He stood at the front, his eyes gleaming with ferocity as he stared intently at the group of dwarfs. He roared, "What do you want, you Japanese pirates? Are you looking for death? Are you asking us to pay you?"

"Do you feel like your head is itchy on your neck? Don't you want it anymore?"

A strong murderous intent flashed across his eyes, as if it were real, scaring the Japanese pirates in the front so much that they took a step back involuntarily.

"Who told you to retreat? He's alone! What's there to be afraid of? He's dead!"

A Japanese pirate envoy roared at the top of his lungs.

Hearing these familiar yet disgusting words, Li Chengqian's eyes instantly ignited with a fiery flame.

It's true that when fellow villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears!

However, before I went to find them, they came to me first.

"Biwu, don't be anxious. Ask them how much money they want?" Li Chengqian said pretentiously.

Qin Biwu looked at Li Chengqian with a puzzled look on his face. Although he was puzzled, he still did as he was told.

When the Japanese pirates' envoy leader heard Li Chengqian's words, he immediately became proud.

Are you scared now? If you dare to provoke us, the Japanese, what can the Tang Dynasty do?

Of course, they only dared to bully the lone Tang people in such remote corners. If they were on the streets of Chang'an, they would be like rats crossing the street, and could only behave themselves with their tails between their legs.

"We only want 100,000 coins!" The Japanese pirate envoy asked for a huge sum of money, trying to extort a large sum of money.

When Li Chengqian heard this ridiculous request, his eyes became even brighter.

He asked with a half-smile, "What if I don't give it to you?"

The Japanese pirate envoy was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe that Li Chengqian dared to respond like this, and then threatened viciously: "If you don't give it to me, I will break your legs!"

After hearing these words, Li Chengqian finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Qin Biwu, Mr. Qi, you heard it, right? He wants to break my legs!"

Li Chengqian raised his voice.

"Okay, now we can start. Break their legs and leave them alone! Don't kill anyone! Got it!"

"Don't worry, boss, I will handle it!" Qin Biwu patted his chest and made a promise.

Li Chengqian nodded with relief, then turned and left.

Just as a few Japanese pirates were about to step forward to stop them, they were knocked back by Qin Biwu's punches like a storm.

"He's just one man, let's go!" the Japanese pirate envoy shouted, trying to boost morale.

Before he could finish his words, he was surprised to find that the seemingly ordinary "people" around him were now starting to take off their clothes.

One by one, pieces of Tang Dynasty official uniforms that they had never seen before inexplicably appeared before their eyes.

"Just break all their legs. Don't kill anyone. They're all criminals. Just break their legs. They'll still be useful."

Qin Biwu spoke in a flat tone.

When the Jinyiwei heard Qin Biwu's words, they rubbed their hands and strode towards the group of dwarfs.

For a moment, the screams of the dwarfs could be heard one after another on this quiet path.
