Eating the fragrant sweet potato was a natural and gradual process, something that happened over time.
Sweet Potato was trained and raised as a maid, so deep down she habitually obeyed her master.
Despite its somewhat feisty appearance, the sweet potato is actually quite gentle and compliant.
Ten days later, Li Chang'an set off from Yinping to return to Jincheng.
During this period, Li Chang'an carefully selected another two thousand soldiers.
The number of White Feather Soldiers and Mo Dao Soldiers has doubled.
Li Chang'an also redeemed the elite template and armed these new recruits into elite troops.
Li Chang'an led four thousand soldiers in a grand procession toward Jincheng.
Inside the luxurious carriage, Li Chang'an leisurely ate the grapes that Xu Weixiong fed him.
Even the obedient and docile sweet potato was busy reading through intelligence reports sent from various places.
A former sweet potato killer with top-tier combat strength, he is also a great helper.
"Your Highness, the imperial court is waiting for your return to Jincheng!"
"Governor Tian Zong is about to collapse; there are Northern Liang people everywhere in the city!"
"That prince of Beiliang, I heard that the prince has set off from Qingliang Mountain in Lingzhou!"
Li Chang'an asked, "Xu Fengnian? What is he going there for?"
Sweet Potato giggled, "I'm going to be Princess Suizhu's husband, so of course we'll get married in Tai'an!"
Li Chang'an pinched Xu Weixiong's smooth cheek. "Weixiong, do you believe it?"
Xu Weixiong chuckled dismissively, "Just a petty trick of feigning one's intentions while secretly advancing another."
"Something will definitely happen halfway there; in short, it's absolutely impossible to reach Tai'an smoothly."
Li Chang'an had a vague feeling that if Xu Fengnian left the palace, the Imperial Guards of Beiliang might be able to save Jiang Ni.
"Send a message to the Eight Linglong and tell them to go to Beiliang."
Jiang Si was a princess of the fallen Western Chu Kingdom, and she carried the great fortune of Western Chu.
She would later be ranked third in beauty on the Rouge List, second only to Minister Nangong and Chen Yu.
The two were engaged when they were children, so it would be a good thing if they could be rescued successfully.
As the group was talking, Li Chang'an suddenly heard a fight taking place on the other side of the mountain.
A group of burly men wielding long spears were besieging a woman in green.
"Little girl, your father, relying on his superb marksmanship, once tried to kill my entire family!"
"If I hadn't been lucky enough to be away on a long trip, the Hai family would have been wiped out!"
The man who spoke was extremely arrogant, as if he had victory in his grasp.
"Your marksmanship is pretty good too!"
"I have a big gun in my hand and a small gun between my legs!"
"Why don't we have a proper spar? I guarantee you'll be completely convinced, hahaha!"
A weak female voice shouted, "The Golden Spear Sect has some nerve! Aren't they afraid of offending the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion?"
The man sneered, "The young master has already said he doesn't care whether you live or die!"
Black hair, a green dress, and green embroidered shoes, with a swift spear in his hand.
She was slender and tall, with a delicate and aloof face, and an undeniable air of heroism between her brows.
Qingniao and his uncle Xu Yanbing arrived in Beiliang together, and both of them worked for the Beiliang royal family.
This time, Qingniao followed Li Yishan's orders to help win over the martial arts sects in Yongzhou.
These sects were all prepared to rescue Chu Lushan.
There are no major sects in Yongzhou. The Golden Spear Sect has two Vajra Realm experts, making it one of the top three sects in Yongzhou.
After receiving a large sum of money, the sect readily agreed to join the Northern Liang royal family.
However, this sect leader happened to see the Moment Spear.
The weapon of Wang Xiu, the Gun Immortal, one of the four former Grandmasters!
Gun Immortal Wang Xiu is obsessive and kills without hesitation, thus incurring countless grudges.
The Golden Spear Sect is Wang Xiu's greatest enemy!
The Lord of the Sea Gate recognized the daughter of his enemy and offered Qingniao's life as a condition for surrendering.
Just as Haimen Master himself said, Xu Fengnian agreed.
Xu Fengnian had never seen the Bluebird; Li Yishan sent him a message to do so.
Xu Fengnian knew that his master had other plans, so he readily agreed.
The sect leader, a first-grade Vajra realm expert, personally led several disciples to hunt down the Azure Bird.
The Bluebird is now in dire straits.
Qingniao leaned on the Moment Spear with one hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the other.
She stared intently at the enemy wielding a steel gun, her mind already made up!
Using "Overlord's Armor Removal," the most powerful move of the Instant Spear Technique, is sure to kill the enemy!
However, if one's own vital energy flows in reverse and one's blood vessels are damaged, death is inevitable!
In the blink of an eye, the Lord of the Sea Gate's steel spear had already pierced her chest!
Suddenly, a loud bang!
"boom!"
A tall figure in red armor descended from the sky, firmly pressing the steel spear under its foot!
The latest earth armor, crafted from Wu Lingsu's corpse, is already at the peak of the Vajra Realm!
Even the Sea Gate Master, a first-rank expert, was intimidated by the power of the Earth Armor!
"What... a ghost?!"
His entire body was covered in red armor, and almost no skin could be seen!
In the blink of an eye, Tu Jia's large hand had already gripped his neck!
"Crack!"
This expert gun user, who had been in the Vajra Realm for many years, was no match for Tu Jia in a single exchange!
His disciples were also easily killed by the Water Armor.
The bluebird, having escaped great danger, was overjoyed and collapsed to the ground as everything went black.
At the mountaintop, Hongshu's anxious expression eased slightly.
She met Qingniao because they were both maids chosen by the Prince of Beiliang to be the heirs of the royal family, so they spent some time together.
Although the bluebird looked down on the sweet potato's allure, the sweet potato also looked down on the bluebird's aloofness.
However, after spending some time together, the two couldn't help but start to care about each other.
When Tu Jia brought the bluebird to Li Chang'an, Xu Weixiong frowned.
"Your Highness, this may be a trap!"
Sweet Potato quickly said, "Your Highness, please don't come any closer. I'll go check on the Bluebird."
The Northern Liang already knew that Xu Weixiong and Hongshu had become Li Chang'an's concubines.
Li Chang'an's reputation for being a womanizer in his youth quickly spread.
Those who support and admire him think this is nothing special; which prince or nobleman doesn't have a harem of wives and concubines?
Those who intend to deal with Li Chang'an can use this as a weakness.
If you think about it that way, then the Bluebird was arranged by Li Yishan to assassinate Li Chang'an.
So, the Bluebird's predicament was just a charade with the Golden Spear Sect.
Sacrificing a top-tier expert to bring Qingniao closer to Li Chang'an is in line with Li Yishan's style of doing things.
However, Li Chang'an remembered that Qingniao was aloof and straightforward, and not good at pretending.
If we're talking about using seduction to assassinate, sweet potatoes are clearly a better fit.
Of course, the attempt to seduce and assassinate with sweet potato failed completely, leaving him with nothing but his underwear.
Li Chang'an simply couldn't believe that the bluebird would seduce him.
Qingniao's looks and figure are exceptionally outstanding; one could say she has the assets to seduce others.
However, the bluebird really doesn't have any seductive qualities.
Sweet Potato carefully examined the Bluebird's injuries and then took her back to the camp.
A few days later, the bluebird's injuries had healed considerably.
