However, Tieqier suddenly felt an immense pressure of true energy coming from above!
Even he, known for his physical strength and domineering presence, was ashen-faced at this moment.
Powerful true energy, wave after wave!
Not only is it incredibly vast, but it also stretches endlessly!
A pair of hands descended from the sky, simple and unadorned!
"Oh!"
Iron Cavalrymen refused to believe in evil!
He has been sucking human blood for decades, which has given him a domineering physique!
Now, if we fight with sheer force, do you think we can't beat this little prince?
The four palms clashed, creating a deafening explosion!
The giant meatball iron cavalry was smashed into the ground in that instant!
The ground was smashed open, creating a crater more than ten feet in diameter!
Li Chang'an's palm strike was indeed unremarkable, and his true energy had not condensed into a dragon.
His palm strike was powerful and his true energy was vast and invisible; it appeared peaceful but actually concealed a deadly intent!
Therefore, the hidden dragon should not be used!
A stream of powerful true energy had already entered Tieqi'er's body!
Iron Cavalryman felt his meridians throbbing and aching, as if they were about to burst at any moment!
"break!"
Li Chang'an gave a soft shout, and the Iron Cavalrymen's bodies turned blood red!
At that very moment, the giant's meridians shattered!
All the blood vessels ruptured!
"This is impossible……"
Iron Rider's eyes were filled with blood, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
"Boom!" A mountain of flesh collapsed with a crash.
Li Chang'an landed on the ground with his hands behind his back, as light as a swallow!
"Imperial Guards, take the two corpses back to camp!"
Back in the military camp, Li Chang'an called out the sweet potatoes.
"Sweet Potato, your Tianxianglou assassins have arrived."
According to the bet, if Tianxianglou fails to kill Li Chang'an, she will belong to Li Chang'an.
Sweet Potato wrinkled its nose and glanced disdainfully at the corpses of the two demons.
"Iron Cavalry and Thirsty are not assassins from Tianxiang Tower."
"None of our assassins from Tianxiang Tower are this ugly!"
Li Chang'an said calmly, "Sweet Potato, you're not trying to renege on your promise, are you?"
Sweet Potato retorted defiantly, "I keep my word! The assassins Tianxiang Tower is sending are definitely at the Profound Realm!"
Li Chang'an clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "You really want that assassin to come?"
Sweet Potato blushed and said, "I hope she comes and catches the prince!"
"Then, let the prince warm the bed with sweet potatoes every day!"
Sweet Potato, who was frequently subjected to meticulous searches by Li Chang'an, had a subtle change in her mindset.
She gradually began to look forward to the prince searching her body.
Sweet Potato, who had never met her parents since she was a child, felt warmth from Li Chang'an.
Although Li Chang'an often bullies and teases her, he is not a bad person.
The thought of being replaced by the Finger Xuan assassin to kill Li Chang'an caused Hongshu some inner conflict.
Li Chang'an naturally noticed the subtle changes in Hongshu's emotions.
This woman had no major grudges or connections with the Xu family of Beiliang.
Sweet Potato, who lacked love from a young age, just needs a warm and loving environment.
The killer sweet potato is now almost completely overrun.
After refining the corpses of Iron Rider and Thirsty Boy, all four Red Armored Generals possessed first-grade cultivation.
After wiping out a small group of bandits in the vicinity, Li Chang'an led his troops closer to Tieshuang City.
The operation to suppress bandits in Qingcheng Mountain is about to begin.
……
Yongzhou, Iron Frost City.
Ironfrost City is a county city, but it is very dilapidated.
The prefect, along with his assistant prefect, chief clerk, and other civil and military officials, was waiting for Li Chang'an at the city gate.
The prefect said with a worried look, "King Qingcheng said long ago that he would send his heir to welcome us."
"Prefect Li, has Prince Wu not arrived yet?"
The prefectural magistrate replied with a bitter face, "No! They should have arrived long ago!"
Li Chang'an is currently leading troops under imperial orders to suppress bandits.
Every official, big or small, in Yongzhou knew that the bandits of Qingcheng Mountain were kept by the King of Qingcheng.
The Imperial Court of Liyang explicitly stipulated in its "Laws on the Relatives and Feudal Lords" that the two princes should not meet!
However, the imperial court sent the Tang King to suppress the bandits in the territory of the Qingcheng King!
The lowly magistrate felt that it was a battle between gods, and he couldn't afford to offend either side.
However, the prefect was not optimistic about Li Chang'an's efforts to suppress the bandits.
A prince who had never fought a war, leading only two thousand new soldiers.
How could two thousand men wipe out more than ten thousand bandits in Qingcheng Mountain?
Before long, Li Chang'an's convoy arrived at the city gate.
The carriage soon stopped at the city gate, and Li Chang'an, along with Xu Weixiong and Hongshu, got off the carriage.
"Your humble servant respectfully welcomes the Tang Emperor!"
Led by the prefect, more than a dozen civil and military officials bowed and paid their respects to Li Chang'an.
"Gentlemen, please dispense with the formalities!"
The prefect straightened up and continued with his routine duties.
"Your Highness, I have already prepared a separate residence in the city."
"The prince's personal guards may be stationed outside the city."
The reason why the bandits of Qingcheng Mountain are difficult to eradicate is that they can come and go as they please, and can disperse at any time.
Therefore, Li Chang'an planned to let these bandits gather on their own and then come to him.
Because the bandits relied on Wu Lingsu's protection, and Wu Lingsu in turn relied on his wife Zhao Yutai's support.
Zhao Yutai was the sword attendant of Wu Su, the former queen of Beiliang, and was the true master of Qingcheng Mountain.
Therefore, Qingcheng Mountain was ostensibly an informant for the imperial court.
In reality, Qingcheng Mountain was a secret agent of the Northern Liang.
With Li Chang'an, a formidable enemy of Northern Liang, arriving, Zhao Yutai could not possibly remain indifferent.
"Your Excellency, I will not be entering Ironfrost City."
"I heard that the area most severely affected by bandit attacks is Yinping County on the banks of the Sichuan River. I will go directly to Yinping."
The local official is more powerful than the county magistrate; the prefect is the most familiar with the local situation.
"Your Highness has too few soldiers; how can you possibly fight against the mountain bandits..."
Just as the prefect was stammering, a woman's shout suddenly came from the sky.
"The Crown Prince of Qingcheng has arrived!"
Li Chang'an turned his head and saw that there were eight beautiful and delicate young Taoist nuns.
These Taoist nuns carried a sedan chair with a flowing, ethereal curtain, and flew slowly towards them using their light-footed skills.
The civil and military officials seemed to have gotten used to it and showed no surprise whatsoever.
Only Sweet Potato curled its lip, "Fancy!"
"Just a second-rank Taoist priest, putting on such airs!"
