"That means I am a true Song Dynasty person."
“At this time, anyone who stands up to oppose will be condemned by everyone and become a tyrant or a treacherous minister.”
"I ask you, how many people in the world dare to bear this infamy? Even some loyal ministers are willing to bear this infamy to target me."
"Then he will definitely face a thousand times more resistance, because targeting me is equivalent to cutting off the source of wealth for those treacherous officials."
"Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents."
"Even the loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty can't defeat the treacherous ministers in this situation. Do you think the treacherous ministers will have all the advantages of timing, location, and popular support?"
Who will win?
"If you're still not at ease, I can marry a princess from the Song Dynasty..."
"In this way, I became one of our own in the eyes of the Song Dynasty royal family."
"What kind of loyal minister could withstand the pressure from the court, the people, and the royal family to target me?"
After listening, everyone looked at Li Chengqian with strange eyes.
I don't know why, but I always feel that Mr. Li's true nature is that of a great demon.
Wang Yuyan, who had been listening attentively, couldn't hold back any longer.
"Mr. Li, even if everything is as you say, won't the other dynasties interfere?"
"With the speed at which you've built your nation, anyone would see you as a formidable foe!"
“Well said,” Li Chengqian nodded. “That’s the logic.”
"But which of the six great dynasties will care about me?"
“In the eyes of the Song Dynasty, I am one of their own, and the Song Dynasty will not target me.”
"The Qin Dynasty is too far away to reach me. If they want to deal with me, they must first destroy the Sui and Song kingdoms."
"The Tang Dynasty is busy annexing the Sui Dynasty and has no time to pay attention to me."
"The Han are the least likely to be able to deal with me."
"The Han Dynasty was practically defunct, and the entire world was under the control of the Jianghu forces."
"Moreover, the influence of the Han Dynasty in the martial arts world was almost terrifying, which is why no country dared to provoke the Han Dynasty."
"But this situation has a drawback: people in the martial arts world have a short-sighted perspective. Do you think they would care about the affairs of other countries?"
"As for the Sui Dynasty, needless to say, they should take care of themselves first. 1.2"
“Aside from these five great dynasties, only the Ming Dynasty has the strength and time to govern me.”
"But if I expand my territory on the other side of the Song Dynasty, can the Ming Dynasty persuade the Song Dynasty to do so?"
"Even if he could persuade the Song Dynasty to open a road so that he could send troops to attack me."
"But why would he do that? If he were to barely defeat me, he would suffer heavy losses, and he would also have to guard against the Song Dynasty making underhanded moves during the war."
"He won't benefit from killing me."
“I have no blood feud with the Ming Dynasty, so why would he do something so thankless?”
"Looking across the entire Kyushu continent, the only ones who can stop me from establishing a kingdom are the six great dynasties."
"Besides that, no other country can meet my standards."
"If even they are afraid, what's the point of talking about building a nation?"
Chapter 270 The Evil Sword Immortal's Bewitching Influence, Duan Yu Returns to Ping An Inn
The women were so shocked by Li Chengqian's scheme that they were speechless.
Everyone thought Mr. Li only knew about world affairs, but no one expected this.
Mr. Li also possesses the art of ruling. If he were to truly leave this Peace Inn and enter the martial world, he would be a force to be reckoned with.
Wouldn't this unleash a bloodbath across the Nine Provinces?
Wang Yuyan's voice was already somewhat stammering, and her eyes were also a little red.
Back then, her cousin was only focused on restoring the country, which is why he ignored her.
I doubt Mr. Li is like that too.
"Mr. Li, you wouldn't be thinking of fighting for the world too, would you!"
Wang Yuyan's voice was tinged with tears, and Li Chengqian laughed when he saw this.
"What are you thinking? If I wanted to be emperor, I wouldn't have built the Peace Inn."
"Besides, I don't want to be an emperor, it's too tiring."
Wang Yuyan's problem is also a concern in the hearts of all the women, because power is something that many people yearn for.
Who can guarantee that Li Chengqian won't become addicted to it?
Moreover, Li Chengqian's plan was so detailed that it took into account the situation on the Kyushu continent.
That's highly suspicious!
Huang Rong cautiously asked, "Mr. Li, as the saying goes, fame and fortune are what truly move people's hearts."
"Aren't you really tempted?"
"Being second only to the emperor and above thousands of others is an irresistible temptation."
"Ah!"
Li Chengqian chuckled and said, "Being second only to the emperor and above ten thousand others, to put it simply, is power."
"But do you really understand what power is?"
"To decide life and death with a single word—isn't that power?"
"That's one way to put it, but it's not entirely accurate."
"The true meaning of power should be the ability to change certain things about a person with just a word."
As he spoke, Li Chengqian's lips curled up, and he said, "So, do you think I possess these things now?"
After a moment, Huang Rong finally realized what was happening.
Mr. Li is now at the top of power, but he just doesn't like it.
Just as Huang Rong was about to ask some more questions, Li Chengqian had already leisurely walked to the door of his room.
"Tomorrow is the day of the storytelling event, so I need to get some rest early."
"Don't go around saying what I said today. Although it looks simple, there are many complexities involved."
"Many people could die."
"If you don't mind, then go ahead."
After saying that, Li Chengqian went into his room, leaving the women stunned.
Ping An Inn.
Countless wanderers from the martial world gathered here, and the smooth roads brought even more guests to Ping An Inn.
"oops!"
"The more I think about it, the more regrettable it is. Why wasn't I there when Mr. Li gave everyone a chance last time?"
"That's right. I've heard that many people have learned a lot of powerful moves after witnessing Mr. Li's 'One Thought of Freedom'."
"If I were here, I think I could have figured out an even more powerful move."
Some martial arts enthusiasts lamented the missed opportunity, while many more casual observers discussed the plot of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.
"I thought about it for five whole days, but I still couldn't figure out why that evil energy came out."
"That's right, Xu Changqing and the others are in the realm of gods."
"The Demon Lord Chonglou and Jingtian are fighting. Besides them, who else in the world could release that evil energy?"
"Could it be that Xu Changqing released it himself?"
"Pooh!"
"You're kidding me. Xu Changqing went through many hardships just to eliminate the evil energy in the box."
"The mission is about to be completed, do you think it's possible?"
The huge inn was filled with chatter. Some people were discussing immortality, while others were discussing the remaining list of Grandmasters of the Song Dynasty.
Many others urged Shangguan Haitang to bring Mr. Li out quickly.
However, just as Shangguan Haitang was about to call out to Li Chengqian as usual, Li Chengqian slowly walked out from behind.
Everyone:? ? ?
It's unbelievable! Why did Mr. Li come out on his own today?
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Li Chengqian stepped through the air and walked step by step toward the high platform.
"Mr. Li, why did you come out by yourself today?"
Some busybodies in the martial arts world started making a fuss below.
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Some interesting people have come to the inn today, and some interesting things will happen."
"In order to see the excitement as soon as possible, I, Li, naturally had to come out early."
Upon hearing this, the onlookers in the inn immediately brightened up.
There's definitely some big news today.
Li Chengqian's appearance instantly silenced the inn.
"Wow [Linglong] is ready! qun 8 moxibustion! Sanliu" Temple Lu
With a wave of his folding fan, Li Chengqian said without any hesitation, "Today's storytelling and conversation sessions were both extremely wonderful."
"Whatever questions you may have, please wait until the main story is finished before asking them."
After throwing out a sentence to prepare everyone, Li Chengqian said, "Let's pick up where we left off."
"The evil energy in the box escaped, and Jing Tian rushed to the Heavenly Pool of the God Realm upon hearing the news."
