Chapter 96: The Ineradicable Worship of Foreign Things

  Li Yuanba was filled with sorrow, the closer he got to the borders of the Tang Dynasty, the more he didn't dare to hurry back to Chang'an, this was his first time being afraid since crossing over!

  He couldn't understand how this time's incident was actually instructed by her!

  The policies of the Tang Dynasty caused the aristocratic families to lose their foundation for survival, but there were still ways to save the country through unconventional means! Li Yuanba overlooked one very important factor, that is, his own family line. Thinking about his sons getting married, every wife's family members would automatically be included in the imperial family, and the thriving families under Li Yuanba's shade would once again take on the appearance of aristocratic families. Once they exceeded 100 people, the extra ones would be arranged to move to neighboring areas, and in front of outsiders, change their surname but still be one family...

  The officials of the Tang Dynasty were either too afraid to speak out or just went through the motions, who dared to compete with Li Yuanba!

  Not to mention other families, just the Li Yuanba family alone has over a hundred people. The imperial clan that everyone in this world cares about has more than a thousand people, how can one not be convinced?

  At this time, the Li family can be said to have been stabilized because of Li Yuanba, and Li Yuanba has made people all over the world fearful because of the Li family! No matter how high a person's martial arts are, they are not feared by everyone in the world. But Li Yuanba is a prince, a prince of the Tang Dynasty who holds the highest ruling power, which makes Li Yuanba's military strength even more terrifying to the point where people all over the world fear him!

  Li Yuanba has always had the old tradition in his heart, wealth will not last for three generations! Within these three generations, Li Yuanba is guaranteed. He thought that within three generations, there would not be a person who does not know what is important and what is not, and after three generations, as long as he does not die, he will try to maintain it! But this time's event was unexpectedly created by the closest direct descendant within the three generations!

  Li Anke, 23 years old, the 19th daughter of the current Emperor Li Xing, with the title of Princess Anle. She is renowned for her stunning beauty and exceptional intelligence since childhood, possessing an extraordinary memory that never forgets! She is also one of Li Yuanba's most beloved granddaughters, aside from his three young sons. This woman has a strong personality, but in front of Li Yuanba, she always presents herself as a well-behaved girl, and at the same time, she is loved by everyone in the Li family!

  Princess Anle, this title is quite interesting! Same as the princess in the orthodox history who conspired with the empress to poison the emperor! This might be a satire of Li Yuanba, who was ruthless in killing others' children, and then heaven arranged for this cow person to enter Li Yuanba's direct bloodline...

  This is perhaps a retribution, Li Yuanba, this standard angry youth appeared in the younger generation of this era. Princess Anle's age is now slightly older, but she has never found an object she likes, and relying on Li Yuanba's favor, no one dares to disobey her arrangement for marriage! A few years ago, the prince of the Fire God United Nations came to the Great Tang as a suitor and envoy, and although he was eventually expelled from the Great Tang with a strong attitude, this young man took away Princess Anle's heart in an unexpected encounter! The princess of a prosperous country actually fell in love with the prince of a small country, it's a very clichéd plot, but that's what happened!

  Perhaps the strong woman has a weak husband behind her, which must have played a role. Princess Anle is really fond of that wolf-like prince who was driven out of the Tang Dynasty. For that bloody love, this princess disregarded the advice of her father and others, using the method of stealing heaven and changing day to smuggle the latest single-soldier weapon, the Fire God Cannon, developed by the Tang Dynasty, to the Fire God Union!

  Li Yuanba's expedition to Oceania was not his own idea, wasn't it just to kill people?! This was actually decided by Li Xing and other insiders, with the goal of covering everything up before Li Yuanba realized that his granddaughter liked a weak prince from another country! According to Li Yuanba's usual style, the high-ranking officials of this small country should have been completely annihilated! But later on, they were left regretting it, as the princess who was infatuated with love had actually smuggled a batch of fire gods' cannons into Oceania several months ago. Li Xing learned about this news just three days after Li Yuanba set out on his expedition!

  "It's too late! If Father saw those weapons... Good heavens! What can be done?" Li Xing sat on the chair in despair, filled with regret.

  Taking advantage of Li Yuanba's absence, Li Xing hastily came to his father's mansion and consulted with several mothers, but the final result was only four words - Listen to Heaven's Will!

  Wang Ting and the others found out, came up with 10,000 excuses to shirk responsibility for An Le, but as they understood Li Yuanba, it was all in vain. It's just that Du Qing, Li Xing's biological mother, had an unnatural expression, but at that time, none of them noticed, only Princess An Le showed a resolute smile after being entangled behind Li Xing...

  Li Xing finally had no choice but to take the carefree Princess Anle to his younger brother, who was even younger than his eldest son. But the result...

  "Big sister, second sister, third sister, little brother is really helpless! Look at this careless niece doing such a thing, according to father's temper... Little brother begs of you!" Li Xing finally placed his hopes on the three women who were most important in his father's heart, namely Li Yilin, Li Siyue and Li Nianjing.

  "Huh? Ah, this matter......" Elder sister Li Yilin expressed her helplessness.

  "Hmph! We've been so fond of you, look at your expression now, do you think your grandfather won't do anything to you? Fourth brother, it's not me saying this, but how could you let her get away with such a big thing?! You should still remember Gao Yang, the daughter of Second Uncle, why she died! She hadn't even done anything yet... Anyway, this time I'm also powerless...!" Li Siyue got angry looking at An Le's nonchalant expression.

  Li Nian'gong shook his head at Li Xing, saying nothing.

  "Hey, Dad, big sister, second sister, third sister, don't be so pessimistic, okay? Anyway, it's all like this now. Let's just wait and see what happens after Grandpa comes. I'm the one who did it, I'll take responsibility for it! It's not a big deal! For love, I'm willing to give up everything!" But Li An was actually being reckless, saying it with his mouth but in his heart it wasn't for so-called love, but for family ties...

  At the root of it all, Li Yuanba's achievements are just too impressive, making her unable to see the severity of this matter!

  "You! Get out of my sight! Go to the person you love right now! I'll pretend I never had a daughter like you!" Li Xing was thoroughly disappointed in her, and finally couldn't help but gaze at his three sisters with pleading eyes, hoping they wouldn't stop his last effort.

  The three women exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and could only do so, perhaps they could save their niece's life!

  Li Yuanba finally stepped into the territory of Datang with his Tianxia skills day and night, and his burning armor made it easy for the soldiers of Datang to know who he was.

  "Notify all ports, from this moment on, entry only and no exit! Those who violate will be executed on the spot, remember, whoever it is!" Li Yuanba issued his first death order after landing!

  "Ah..." Li Yuanba regretted his decision after giving the order, but didn't stop it again. He walked alone slowly, without using any tools or skills, just like an old man, with those heavy footsteps connecting to the end of the sky...

  Li Yuanba's order quickly spread to various ports in the Tang Dynasty, and perhaps at this time, heaven just wanted Li Yuanba's life to be filled with tragedy. As soon as Li Yuanba's order was issued, Princess Anle accompanied Li Xing to a very remote port.

  "Let's go, we're going back..." Li Xing found out through some inquiry that it was a death order from his father, and also extinguished his daughter's idea of escaping. The matter cannot be violated, and can only be faced! However, what about those who already know the truth...

  Li Xing was concerned about where his father had gone every day, but in his heart he became more and more anxious. Two months later, Li Yuanba, who had landed first, still hadn't arrived in Chang'an, while the soldiers who had set out this time arrived first...

  "Mother, how did you come?" Li Xing arranged for the soldiers to set out and returned to the imperial palace, only to find Du Qing waiting for him!

  Li Yuanba walked steadily, his footsteps becoming more stable and his killing aura growing stronger! When he arrived within a hundred miles of Chang'an, Du Qing was waiting for him with a pale face.

  "Qing Er? How did you get here?" Li Yuanba's face was full of surprise, and the killing intent on his body had completely dissipated!

  "Husband, I've come to apologize..." Tears welled up in Du Qing's eyes, prompting Li Yuanba to quickly hold her in his arms and softly comfort her.

  Du Qing was also involved in this matter, but she didn't know the severity of it. Although she wasn't very supportive of Sun Nu's idea, seeing her begging pitifully, her heart softened and she agreed vaguely. With Du Qing's involvement, no one dared to say anything, so this smuggling went unnoticed even by Li Xing, except for Li Daoxuan, who was called by Du Qing to arrange everything...

  "Li Daoxuan, that scoundrel! Ugh... Never mind! Since you're the one I'm in charge of, then I'll just take care of it myself. It's not a big deal, I'll just go and conquer that country again and announce to the outside world that they stole from Great Tang. Let's go back, this time I need to teach these good-for-nothings a lesson, or else there will be even bigger trouble in the future!" Li Yuanba shook his head and walked towards Chang'an with his wife, but felt an inexplicable sense of relief in his heart.

  His own wife, even if she made a big mistake, would have to bear the consequences! However, this granddaughter is too ignorant of the weight of things, and sooner or later, they will be defeated by their own hands! It seems that this matter still needs to be carefully considered, but in an era where the world already belongs to the Tang Dynasty, why can't we eradicate these rubbish ideas of worshipping foreigners? It's really frustrating... I'll have to deal with Li Xing's kid later, how did he raise such a failure of a child?

  No matter what others think of Li Yuanba, he won't care, and whoever dares to jump out will be slapped to death!
