The Demonic Crown Prince

"It seems he's aware of something, and even wants to win Jiang Zhanyue over?"

Li Feng turned to look out the window, his eyes flashing with a sharp light like shattered glass.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze, a flush rising on his pale cheeks, and his eyes became excited.

"At first, Li Yuan didn't even dare to lay a hand on Li Jun when we presented him with the evidence of the river engineering case. I thought Li Yuan was cowardly, but now it seems that's not the case. He felt that he was in a precarious situation, so he wanted to escape."

If that case comes to light, he will naturally be unable to escape and will become the target of public criticism.

His resignation as heir apparent, his desire to go to Yanbei Road, and the matter of Jiang Zhanyue further prove this point.

"Hmm, if that's the case, then he's finally qualified to be my opponent."

"Third Prince, what about Li Jun?" the man in black asked in a low voice.

"That fool is nothing to fear. Let him be the one sticking his neck out if he wants to."

Li Feng said dismissively.

After pondering for a while, his eyes turned cold and sharp. "The second test has indeed yielded some results. At least it lets me know that Li Yuan absolutely cannot be allowed to leave the capital, otherwise the consequences will be endless!"

Looking out the window, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Brother, your mistake was that you couldn't help but reveal your intentions."

"Then I'm sorry, go to hell!"

……

Li Yuan did not return to the palace, but instead stayed in the military camp.

Because there were many more things to do the next day, such as personally selecting junior officers.

He was determined to transform this once-outdated old-style army into a new force that transcended the times, armed with his new ideas and new weapons, in the shortest possible time.

And this unit must become the most loyal core of his team from which he rose to power!

He has confidence in himself, or rather, he has confidence in the era he once lived in!

However, his absence that night kept Xu Shuying awake all night.

Because Xu Shuying had been preparing for a whole day, she came up with several plans that she thought could out-insult Li Yuan, and even wrote several poems to criticize Li Yuan.

But Li Yuan didn't come back, leaving this beautiful woman here unattended.

It was only the second day of her marriage, and Xu Shuying was pacing around the palace, practically turning into an angry little bird!

"Damn it, am I, Xu Shuying, so worthless in your eyes? You don't even want to come back to the palace to live?"

Xu Shuying was alone in her empty room. Looking at herself in the mirror, she seemed to have become much more haggard.

Shouldn't she be happy that Li Yuan didn't come back?

She herself doesn't understand why she looks so haggard!

Another sleepless night. A nameless resentment was building up, and a feeling of loneliness was growing wildly!

……

Li Yuan slept exceptionally well that night.

He discovered that even after being reborn, he still slept the best in the military camp.

It wasn't just a sense of security, but also a feeling of belonging that allowed him to rediscover home in this unfamiliar world.

What surprised him even more was that when he looked at his wound again in the morning, it had already started to scab over and itch. He was sure it would be fully healed in a few more days.

The recovery speed is more than three times that of ordinary people!

The benefits of being a time traveler are really great.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly!

After getting up, in the morning, Zhang Chuang, Xu Lei, and I continued to select grassroots officers, conducting various assessments and competitions to choose the people most suitable for their respective positions.

Wang Wanquan led over a hundred soldiers in mule carts to the city to collect weapons from the arsenal and buy items from the list provided by Li Yuan.

After working until noon, seeing that time was running out, Li Yuan made some arrangements and then headed to Lingcui Mountain to keep his appointment to fight Jiang Zhanyue.

Lingcui Mountain is not far from their military camp, only a dozen miles away, and the entire route is along the official road.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan appeared at the top of Lingcui Mountain, but Jiang Zhanyue had already arrived.

She was still dressed in a tight black outfit, leaning on a black spear, standing in the wind, looking both cool and beautiful!

"You're late," Jiang Zhanyue said, looking at Li Yuandao.

"It's just past noon, so it's not late," Li Yuan laughed.

His eyes darted over Jiang Zhanyue's chest. Tsk tsk, did this girl know he was well-endowed, so she deliberately wore a tight-fitting outfit to distract him and defeat him?

Yes, this is a conspiracy, it must be a conspiracy.

"Li Yuan, what are you looking at?" Jiang Zhanyue angrily slammed his spear down, shouting fiercely amidst the clanging of metal.

"Look at that...weapon!" Li Yuan almost bit his tongue. "That big gun, so imposing, but it's so heavy, can you even handle it?"

"This gun was passed down from my grandfather. Today I will use it to avenge my humiliation!"

"You scoundrel, take this!"

Jiang Zhanyue swung his spear like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, creating a sharp whistling sound, and in a flash, it reached Li Yuan's chest.

"Look at the gun? That should be my line!" Li Yuan rolled his eyes.

But his hands did not slow down at all. In the blink of an eye, the lightning-fast spear thrust in front of him suddenly slowed down.

He leisurely reached out and grabbed the gun barrel, intending to use the same trick again to swing Jiang Zhanyue into the air and then pull her down from the sky.

Hmm, this time don't aim so straight, try to aim a little off-center, get a feel for it.

But to everyone's surprise, as soon as Jiang Zhanyue grabbed the gun, his arms suddenly trembled.

The entire spear vibrated violently, forcefully deflecting Li Yuan's hand, before delivering a horizontal slash.

Li Yuan was startled and leaned back to avoid the spear, but Jiang Zhanyue used the spear like a club and smashed it down.

With a "bang," Li Yuan was knocked directly to the ground.

Jiang Zhanyue sheathed his gun, stood opposite him, and looked at him with disdain. "You lost."

But to her surprise, Li Yuan suddenly sprang up from the ground, stood in front of her, dusted off the gunshot wound on his chest, and shook his finger lightly, "No, I didn't."

This experiment surprised Li Yuan even more; the ability to withstand blows was also at the pinnacle of human capabilities!

"You're alright?" Jiang Zhanyue stared at him in shock. Was he even human?

That last shot of hers was a family heirloom technique. Even though she held back, one shot would still break at least a few bones in an ordinary person.

Why does this guy seem completely unaffected?

"Now it's my turn, take this!" Li Yuan finally had a chance to say his line, and he thrust his gun at Jiang Zhanyue.

Jiang Zhanyue raised her spear to parry, but little did she expect that Li Yuan was just making a feint. He actually abandoned his spear, flashed over like a ghost, grabbed her, and threw her to the ground.

"You, why are you hitting me like this? You have no sportsmanship! Let me go!"

Jiang Zhanyue was pinned down by him, and the strong male breath filled her nostrils, making her feel weak all over.

She was filled with shame and anger, and desperately tried to push him down.

But just then, Li Yuan suddenly rolled over with her on the ground. So, during the roll, Jiang Zhanyue was on top for a while, and Li Yuan was on top for a while, as if spring had arrived, all things were reviving, and it was the season for little animals to moan and groan...
