Secondly, Xu Xiao wants the prince's life!
Li Chang'an sneered, "It's probably another trick by Li Yishan!"
"After I leave the pass, I will pass through the territory of Shanshan."
"Even if you can't kill me, I will still have a deep-seated hatred for Shanshan!"
Murong Fushun immediately said, "As long as Your Highness releases me, Shanshan and Shazhou will be allies forever!"
Li Chang'an ignored him and instead said to the Imperial Guards, "You should all consult with Prince Murong."
“We are not very familiar with the situation in Shanshan.”
“Once we get to Shazhou, we’ll be neighbors with Shanshan. It’s better to get a clear picture of the situation.”
Murong Fushun said gratefully, "I will definitely cooperate fully!"
Li Chang'an sneered. This kind of person can be killed with a single blow after getting the information.
Today's battle saw Shanshan field its elite forces.
Therefore, Li Chang'an had a better understanding of the fighting strength of the barbarians.
Although the cavalry were elite, they were all light cavalry, not as good as the Northern Liang cavalry.
As for the infantry, they were certainly better than the incompetent Qingzhou navy.
However, because their formation training was mediocre, they only knew how to charge recklessly.
Such infantry will immediately collapse and suffer a crushing defeat when faced with adversity!
Therefore, the Xuanjia Army and the White Horse Cavalry almost completely slaughtered the 10,000 infantrymen!
They did not encounter strong resistance from the Shanshan infantry.
If Shanshan has this kind of fighting strength, Li Chang'an is fully confident that he can wipe out all the barbarians who have entered the pass!
After replenishing his troops, Li Chang'an continued westward.
Along the way, they also wiped out a barbarian army that had plundered several cities; this army numbered over ten thousand.
Li Chang'an released the people who had been robbed by the barbarians and gave them enough food to return home.
By this calculation, half of the 70,000 people who entered the pass from Shanshan have already been wiped out by Li Chang'an.
News of these two major battles also spread throughout the western Sichuan region.
Before the imperial army even arrived, the Tang emperor had already annihilated half of the Shanshan troops!
Just as Li Chang'an was sweeping away the barbarians who had entered the pass, the people of the Green Robe Alliance indeed came knocking on his door.
That morning, Jiang Si had just mastered a set of sword techniques.
In just two months, Jiang Si has advanced to the second-grade minor grandmaster level.
Even the most ordinary sword techniques become twice as powerful in her hands.
As expected of a naturally born sword embryo, its aptitude is indeed extraordinary.
What's even more terrifying is that Jiang Si can actually master a sword technique in ten days!
Cuihua exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Jiang, I have never seen anyone with such high qualifications!"
"Your sword-training speed is far superior to that of all the previous Sword Masters of the Sword Tomb!"
Wu Liuding coughed twice and said, "Although I am unwilling to admit it, it is indeed the case."
"The time it takes you to master a sword technique is even faster than Cuihua pickles a jar of sauerkraut!"
"If you were born in the Sword Tomb, you would definitely be the Sword Crown!"
A joyful smile appeared on Jiang Si's exquisite face.
Jiang Si has finally found her confidence.
Jiang Si extended her hand to Li Chang'an, "Your Highness! What about the promised reward!"
During this time, Jiang Si diligently practiced her swordsmanship, and Li Chang'an's attitude towards her became less serious.
Li Chang'an doesn't keep idle people around. Jiang Si is willing to practice swordsmanship, so she will naturally be of great use.
Therefore, Li Chang'an promised Jiang Si a reward after she mastered ten sets of sword techniques.
Li Chang'an ordered the six sword servants to bring out six famous swords, "These six are all famous swords of our time!"
"You can choose one from them!"
At that moment, Wu Liuding's gaze was instantly drawn to it!
Among the six famous swords, there is actually a Dragon Sparrow!
However, he had already lost to Li Chang'an, and he had no right to interfere with how Li Chang'an dealt with Long Que.
Besides the Dragon Sparrow, there were also Lao Huang's three famous swords, as well as a famous sword found in Wang Linquan's home.
When Jiang Si saw these swords, her eyes lit up!
She seems to have found something more attractive than money!
Cuihua walked past the six sword slaves and carefully examined the swords.
"Miss Jiang! The Prince is so good to you!"
"Every sword here is priceless!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si blushed slightly and secretly glanced at Li Chang'an.
Another major motivation for her to practice swordsmanship was Li Chang'an's attitude.
She took the initiative to practice swordsmanship so that she could have more interaction with Li Chang'an.
"Your Highness, I want this one!"
Unsurprisingly, Jiang Si chose the Dragon Sparrow Sword.
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow and said, "Jiang Si, this sword is the most valuable."
"With your exceptional talent, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to give it to you."
"However, if you insist on choosing this sword, you must agree to one condition of this king."
Jiang Si's bright eyes darted around, her gaze fixed on the slender Dragon Sparrow Sword, unable to look away.
"Your Highness, if I choose a different sword, will I not have to agree to your conditions?"
Li Chang'an said, "That's right, the other swords are far inferior to the Dragon Sparrow."
"If you choose the Dragon Sparrow Sword, you must serve as my personal bodyguard for five years."
Jiang Si asked, "A guard like the Bluebird?"
Li Chang'an said, "Yes, it's exactly the same as the Bluebird."
"Moreover, your cultivation level should reach the first rank within one or two years."
"At that time, your salary will be the same as the Bluebird's."
"If you do well, I will reward you handsomely!"
Once Jiang Si picked up the Dragon Sparrow Sword, she never wanted to put it down again.
Li Chang'an's condition is really nothing special.
Because she didn't know where else she could go.
"Alright, I promise you, Your Highness!"
Li Chang'an laughed and said, "Excellent."
"After the five-year term is up, the Dragon Sparrow Sword will be yours!"
Jiang Si looked at the Dragon Sparrow Sword, her heart filled with excitement!
She has now achieved a minor level of mastery in swordsmanship and can already sense the power of this sword.
This Dragon Sparrow Sword is even stronger than the Plain King Sword on Cuihua's back!
Just then, a shout suddenly came from above the military camp.
"On behalf of the Western Chu Kingdom, I have come to escort Your Highness the Princess back!"
No sooner had Cao Changqing finished speaking than Zhuge Liang and Gu Dazu, both at the Celestial Realm, blocked his way in mid-air.
Gu Dazu watched from the sidelines as Zhuge Liang and Cao Changqing faced off, their true energy surging and clashing violently!
This is a debate among Confucian scholars about the greatest celestial phenomena, with Gu Dazu wanting to establish Zhuge Liang's reputation as the greatest celestial being in the world.
Cao Changqing's long sleeves rippled with true energy, releasing a powerful pressure from afar.
Zhuge Liang has already stabilized his Confucian Grand Celestial Realm, and now he can control his true energy at will.
One after another, hurricane pillars violently pounded from east to west.
Amidst the hurricane, billowing flames raged!
Cao Changqing was also a great celestial being in the Confucian school!
In the future, this person has the potential to advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal!
