She boarded Li Chang'an's carriage, wanting to meet her savior.
Li Chang'an rested his head on Xu Weixiong's lap, while Hongshu gently massaged his legs.
The innocent bluebird blushed instantly upon seeing this alluring scene.
"Second Miss...sweet potato!"
"You! You are Li Chang'an!"
The bluebird instinctively became wary, but immediately abandoned the idea.
She has already been abandoned by Xu Fengnian, so of course she will no longer serve the Xu family.
Therefore, Li Chang'an is not an enemy.
Xu Weixiong corrected him, "Qingniao, I have completely severed ties with the Xu family."
"From now on, you should stop calling me Miss or Princess."
"Now, Wei Xiong is just the prince's concubine."
Sweet Potato glared at Bluebird with her peach blossom eyes and said sarcastically, "Bluebird, don't be so cold, it's like everyone owes you something!"
"That day when you were surrounded by people, I was actually planning to watch a good show."
"But my lord takes pity on women and sent people to rescue you."
Li Chang'an chuckled inwardly. At that moment, Hongshu was almost crying, begging Li Chang'an to save her.
Now that the person has been revived, they pretend to be indifferent.
Li Chang'an tightened his grip, and Hongshu's chest swayed, causing her to cry out in a sweet voice.
"Your Highness, you're so wicked!"
The bluebird couldn't help but roll its eyes and mutter under its breath, "A fairy!"
Then, Qingniao cupped his hands to Li Chang'an and said, "Thank you, Prince Li, for saving my life!"
"If it weren't for the prince's intervention, Qingniao would probably be doomed!"
Li Chang'an said, "Your marksmanship is quite good; you've already entered the Vajra Realm."
At this moment, Sweet Potato persisted, saying, "Those who spend all day wielding weapons naturally cultivate faster!"
Actually, the Sweet Potato Technique is special, and the Pseudo-Vajra and Pseudo-Finger Technique are not necessarily weaker than the Bluebird.
The bluebird's expression was cold and aloof; it was not entirely convinced.
"It's better than spending all day putting on makeup and posing!"
Sweet Potato smiled seductively and said, "It's none of your business if I like it!"
Xu Weixiong said solemnly, "Bluebird, the prince saved your life, you should think about how to repay him!"
"Don't repay kindness with enmity and try to assassinate the prince."
The bluebird was all alone and helpless. Her father had a volatile temper and a poor relationship with his disciples.
"Your Highness, Qingniao has no other skills besides martial arts."
"If Your Highness does not mind, Qingniao may serve under Your Highness to repay the great kindness of saving my life."
Li Chang'an nodded and said, "Very good. I like women who are good with weapons. You will be my personal bodyguard for now."
Xu Weixiong and Hongshu both knew that Li Chang'an had a red armor talisman on his body.
The so-called close bodyguards were probably there to test Qingniao's true intentions.
Qingniao accepted the position of personal bodyguard and obediently got out of Li Chang'an's carriage.
Li Chang'an wasn't afraid of her running away; if Qingniao wanted to assassinate Li Chang'an, she naturally wouldn't run away.
If Qingniao is truly desperate, then Hongshu is her closest relative, and she has nowhere else to run.
Sweet Potato then recounted the news from the Embroidered Uniform Guard: "The Tuoba tribe of Northern Mang has suddenly marched south to Yanmen Pass."
"The 30,000 Yongzhou troops urgently recalled from Yanmen Pass to Jincheng, and a total of 100,000 troops are on high alert!"
Yanmen Pass is the border pass of Yongzhou, and the Tuoba tribe is the southernmost tribe of the Northern Mang.
Xu Weixiong continued, "The Tuoba tribe has no more than 30,000 cavalry."
However, the Yongzhou army was too weak, so they panicked and prepared for battle.
"Moreover, the Tuoba tribe and Beiliang traded frequently, and there were quite a few Fushuifang spies mixed in with them."
Seeing that Li Chang'an didn't speak, Hongshu continued reading, "Han Diaosi suddenly left Jincheng and headed towards Shangyin Academy!"
Upon hearing this news, both Xu Weixiong and Hongshu were somewhat puzzled.
However, Li Chang'an knew that Han Diao Temple was probably there for Zhao Kai's sake.
"Jin Cheng's army has been transferred away, and even his strongest expert, Han Shengxuan, has been transferred away."
"The troops and experts have been mobilized in order to weaken Jincheng's defenses."
Xu Weixiong immediately said, "That's the style of Li Yishan from Beiliang. It seems that Xu Xiao still can't let go of Chu Lushan."
Li Chang'an guessed that Beiliang must have used the power of the martial arts world to threaten Han Diaosi into leaving by using Zhao Kai's life.
Sweet Potato picked up another urgent letter: "Xu Fengnian, the heir apparent of Beiliang, has been ordered to go to Tai'an City to complete his marriage."
"When passing through Daliang Mountain in Yongzhou, they were kidnapped by bandit Wang Ying and more than a thousand men and taken up the mountain!"
"Most of the officials from the imperial court and the Northern Liang were killed by bandits."
"Only a few experts fought their way out and escaped back to Lingzhou and Jincheng to report the news."
"Wang Ying offered the imperial court and Xu Xiao ten million taels of silver. Whoever could come up with the money would get the heir!"
Li Chang'an said, "The bandits of Daliang Mountain originally numbered no more than three thousand."
In the past six months, they have actually absorbed and merged into a large bandit gang.
"Jincheng is vulnerable, bandits are growing in power, and Beiliang is after Chu Lushan!"
Xu Weixiong frowned after hearing this. "If Xu Fengnian is putting on an act, then he should at least make it look real!"
"How could a good-for-nothing prince like him be worth tens of millions of taels of silver?"
When Xu Weixiong was trained to be a suicide soldier, he was deeply instilled with the idea that he must be loyal to the Xu family.
Li Yishan and Xu Xiao gave various hints, implying that everything should be done for Xu Fengnian's sake, and that their younger brother was everything to him!
Xu Weixiong almost became a brother-supporting demon!
Therefore, Xu Weixiong feels disgusted whenever he thinks of Xu Fengnian!
As they drew closer to Jincheng, Li Chang'an felt a growing sense of anticipation.
Is there a chance to torment Xu Fengnian now?

Chapter 188 Kill Shu Xiu to Save Jiang Si! Walking the Bluebird Under the Moon! (13)
At the border of Lingzhou, Xu Fengnian is about to step into Yongzhou.
"Little clay figure, wait for my triumphant return!"
Xu Fengnian, full of ambition, bid farewell to Jiang Si in an exaggerated manner.
Jiang Si's beautiful face was filled with undisguised chill.
"Xu Fengnian, I hope you die out there!"
Xu Fengnian said he was going to do something big and insisted that Jiang Si come to see him off.
Thus, Jiang Si, who had never left the palace before, finally had the opportunity to go out.
On the way out of Qingliang Mountain, Xu Fengnian kept boasting about how he rescued Chu Lushan.
Behind Xu Fengnian were two skilled horsemen.
According to Xu Fengnian's own boast, those two were both first-grade experts in the Profound Realm!
Xu Fengnian laughed and said, "How could someone as smart as me possibly die?"
"Shu Xiu, Yang Qingfeng, protect Jiang Si!"
Shu Xiu and Yang Qingfeng, both second-rank minor grandmasters, were loyal bodyguards of the Prince's mansion.
They knew that Jiang Si was the late queen's maid and had been guarding Wu Su's tomb ever since.
However, judging from the Crown Prince's attitude now, it seems that he is trying to curry favor with Jiang Si.
The two replied in unison, "Yes, sir."
Xu Fengnian climbed into the carriage, his emotions somewhat excited!
"Old Huang, let's go!"
Old Huang, the toothless horse driver, answered honestly.
"Young master, sit tight, let's go!"
