Chapter 435 Another attack?

"You two bastards..."

Zheng Qiqing pointed at the two men with a ferocious expression.

Still dare to shout?

Bang bang bang...

Fang Yi'ai punched him repeatedly, turning his head into a pig's head.

The manager of Jin Yuege tried to step forward to stop him, but when Choi Shin-ki glared at him, he chickened out.

Besides the Cui family's reasons...

Choi Shin-ki is still an official in the Ministry of Commerce. If someone were to sabotage his shop, it could bankrupt him in no time.

"Have you submitted yet?"

Fang Yi'ai patted the other person's cheek.

"I...I give up." Zheng Qiqing covered his eyes.

"If you're convinced, why don't you go apologize to my most respected Old Yuan?"

Fang Yi'ai kicked him right in front of Li Yuan.

"My most respected elder, I was wrong," Zheng Qiqing said, bowing.

Um?

Old Yuantou?

Li Yuan frowned and said, "I won't accept this title!"

*Smack*

Fang Yi'ai raised his hand and smacked him on the head: "How dare you call me 'Old Yuan'?"

"What's it called?"

"What should I call you... huh? What was it again?" Fang Yi'ai was confused.

*Smack*

He raised his hand and gave her another smack on the head: "Can't you think of a name for yourself?"

Waaah...

"Master Yuan, I was wrong."

Li Yuan finally smiled.

"Legacy of love".

Li Yuan reprimanded him, saying, "How could you lay a hand on him? Although this child has a temper, he is a good person at heart. You must learn to win people over with virtue."

God the hell you believe in winning people over with virtue!

When he hit me, why didn't you say you would win people over with virtue?

Zheng Qiqing gritted his teeth.

As he spoke, Li Yuan smiled and looked at Zheng Qiqing: "Don't be angry. The child doesn't know his own limitations. We will cover the medical expenses."

Do I need your little bit of medical expenses?

If you dare let me beat you up, I'll pay you ten times the medical bills!

“Old Yuan, you’re wrong about that.”

Fang Yi'ai said with a serious expression, "I hit him for so long, it was my hand that suffered, he should be the one to pay my medical expenses."

Li Yuan was stunned.

Is there any logic to this?

Why do I still find it quite reasonable?

"That……"

Li Yuan turned his gaze to Zheng Qiqing.

"Give."

Zheng Qiqing quickly tossed out a string of coins.

Why.

Fang Yi accepted it with great satisfaction.

Then he waved and said, "Go on... Don't bully old people again, or I'll beat you up again if I see you doing it again."

Zheng Qiqing fled in panic.

After the matter was over, the manager of Jin Yue Pavilion picked up the salted fish and handed it to Li Yuan solicitously: "Master, here is your salted fish."

The old man is definitely not simple; he can command the two fools of Chang'an!

"Um."

After Li Yuan took it, he turned and left.

"Sir, aren't you buying gold anymore? We'll give you a discount!" the manager shouted from behind.

I would like to buy it.

But copper coins won't allow it...

"The Emperor Emeritus has come out?" Wei Shuyu greeted him with a smile.

Li Yuan knew better than anyone how much money he had.

Making gilded rattan is fine, but making pure gold is out of my reach.

"Shuyu..."

Li Yuan sighed, "Everyone says the royal family is wealthy, but in reality, the royal family is actually very poor."

"The so-called reward of a thousand or ten thousand gold pieces is just a face-saving measure, using brass to make up the numbers."

Li Yuan's voice was filled with melancholy.

The incompetent ruler levied exorbitant taxes and levies.

A wise ruler, yet a penniless pauper!

When a wise and wealthy ruler is rich, he is not far from becoming a great emperor for all time.

"This situation will change very soon."

"There are gold mines in the Western Regions and Japan."

"It will happen when the Silk Road is opened up, or when Japan is dealt with."

Wei Shuyu laughed and said, "I'll give you a pure gold rattan cane when the time comes!"

"That's settled then..."

Li Yuan laughed heartily: "If you get me a pure gold rattan cane, I will bestow upon you the King-Slaying Rattan!"

"Strike down the imperial relatives and nobles above, and the treacherous ministers and sycophants below!"

Holy crap.

The two of them stared wide-eyed.

The "King-Beating Vine" bestowed by Li Yuan meant that even Li Shimin could draw it!

Don't worry about whether you can get it or not.

The key point is... isn't it incredibly cool?

"Your Majesty, how about we make a deal?"

"Give it to me now."

"I'll get you a pure gold rattan cane tomorrow?"

Wei Shuyu stepped forward and asked slyly.

With the Ministry of Commerce's resources, getting a pure gold rattan cane wouldn't be too difficult.

"roll."

Li Yuan kicked out.

Their skin is thicker than a city wall.

I have granted you this favor; can you defeat this wicked beast?

Don't ruin my plans!

That's right.

Li Yuan had his own plans!

He has a little notebook...

The details of when, where, and which part of Li Shimin was struck are all clearly recorded.

He had already made plans.

A hundred years from now, this little book will be handed over to the historian.

He still wants to be an emperor for all time?

Even if you were to become the emperor, I would still make sure you have a reputation for being beaten every day.

"Your Majesty, I'll take you to get something to eat."

Choi Shin-ki interjected, "The food at Cuiyunju is delicious."

"Um."

Li Yuan nodded.

The group then headed towards Cuiyun Residence.

After a hearty meal and a short stroll, the group set off for Daming Palace.

A carriage, a horse.

Wei Shuyu rode a horse to lead the way, while Cui Shenji drove two vehicles.

The eunuchs had it much harder; they had to follow behind on foot.

“Remains, my driving skills are pretty good, aren’t they?” Choi Shin-ki said, driving the carriage with a smug look on his face.

"Not bad."

Fang Yi'ai nodded: "He only ran into the fields five times and knocked over more than a dozen stalls."

"Right?"

Choi Shin-ki said smugly, "You have no idea... I've seen many people drive their cars into the river."

Li Yuan, listening from inside the carriage, rolled his eyes. "You're quite proud of yourself..."

But he just happened to like riding in a two-horse carriage.

The two men drove the carriage, chatting idly.

"stop!"

As they passed through a grove of trees, Wei Shuyu suddenly pulled on the reins.

"What are you doing, big pot?"

Choi Shin-ki asked in confusion, "Are we almost there?"

"The scenery here is beautiful, perfect for a picnic."

Wei Shuyu directed, "Hey you, spread out what we've bought on the ground."

Behind him, several eunuchs stepped forward carrying packages.

"Oh, a picnic."

Choi Shin-ki liked it very much and immediately lifted the carriage curtain to greet him, "Your Majesty, let's have a picnic!"

"good."

Li Yuan climbed down from the carriage, looked at the lake and the woods, and couldn't help but compose a poem.

Wei Shuyu was diligently making his beggar's chicken.

The two seemed to have a tiff, their heads were pressed together, and they started comparing whose head was harder.

"kill!"

Just then, a group of men in black, wielding knives, charged in from a distance.

"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"

Several eunuchs' shrill voices rang out, making Wei Shuyu's ears ring.

The two were startled.

He darted behind Li Yuan, peeking out with half his head to look at the man in black in front of him.

"Big pot, what should we do?"

Choi Shin-ki poked half his head out.

"It's alright."

Wei Shuyu calmly waved his hand.

Just as the enemy was about to rush in front of them...

Whoosh whoosh.

Soldiers wielding long spears emerged from the bushes and woods, protecting Li Yuan.

"Giddy up, giddy up..."

The sound of horses' hooves rang out.

Xue Rengui charged forward, wielding his halberd.

Still wearing that white robe, still as flamboyant as ever.

Bang bang bang...

Anyone who stood in his way was ruthlessly pushed aside.

When he reached Li Yuan, he dismounted and clasped his hands in a fist salute...

"Your Majesty, I am late in coming to your aid. I hope you will forgive me."
