That day, Li Xue came to the farm and asked Li Guang if he had any sweet potatoes.

Li Guang told her that the sweet potato seedlings had not been planted for long, and the sweet potatoes that had grown were still very small and inedible.

Upon hearing this, Li Xue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Seeing this, Li Guang laughed and said:

"Eating sweet potatoes is easy. Before the war, we planted a large number of sweet potato seedlings. These seedlings are still growing in the ground, and there are big sweet potatoes inside. We can dig them out."

"That's great! Let's go dig up some sweet potatoes first, then roast them when we get back. I'll take on the task of roasting the sweet potatoes this time, so don't fight over them," Li Xue said excitedly.

"Okay, no problem, let's go dig sweet potatoes now."

After Li Guang finished speaking, he took his farming tools and went to the field to dig sweet potatoes.

During Li Guang's absence from the village, Zhao Xiaoxian managed the farm work exceptionally well, planting everything that needed to be planted, promising another bumper harvest this year.

Soon, the group dug up a basket of sweet potatoes and returned to the farm. Li Guang brought out the oven, and Li Xue began roasting the sweet potatoes.

Soon, the entire farm was filled with the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. Little Black, who was playing outside, smelled the aroma and immediately ran back into the yard.

Li Xue glanced at Xiao Hei, then at the sweet potatoes in the basket, and felt that she hadn't dug up enough sweet potatoes; this amount wasn't even enough to fill Xiao Hei's teeth.

Seeing this, Li Guang said, "I'll go dig up some more sweet potatoes. Such delicious food can't be missing Xiao Hei."

Seeing that roasting sweet potatoes in one oven was too slow, Meng Yaoyao took out another oven. With so many people waiting to eat sweet potatoes, one oven was simply not enough.

Li Guang quickly dug up another basket of sweet potatoes and returned. The first batch of more than ten sweet potatoes were already roasted and all went into Xiao Hei's stomach. However, Meng Yaoyao's sweet potatoes were almost ready to be roasted as well.

Finally, the oven was opened, and everyone began to enjoy the fragrant and sweet sweet potatoes. The dozen or so sweet potatoes were quickly finished, but if they wanted to eat more, they would have to wait a while.

At this moment, Li Xue spoke up:

"Li Guang, I'm planning to return to the capital tomorrow. Please prepare some sweet potatoes and a roasting oven for me to take back with me."

"No problem, I'll prepare some extra sweet potatoes for you so you can roast them when we get back," Li Guang said with a smile.

“That would be even better. When I return this time, I plan to invite the Emperor to taste roasted sweet potatoes.”

I estimate that battle reports from various regions have already reached the imperial court, except for the battle report from Shuixian Village.

I will deliver the battle report from Shuixian Village. The Emperor knows the situation well. If it weren't for the bravery of the soldiers and civilians of Shuixian Village, the Great Northern Dynasty might be in a very different state now.

Having eliminated the foreign enemy, the Great Northern Dynasty has escaped danger and is now safe. The eldest prince should be returning to the capital by now. If he knew you were still alive, he would be astonished.

He might try something bad, but you live in Narcissus Village and have an army of 100,000. He wouldn't dare do anything to you. He might start investigating how you escaped and who helped you.

This would put Lord Yao in danger; he would secretly plot against him.

Li Xue's guess was not impossible; Li Guang had also thought about this and had already made a plan.

"If the Crown Prince dares to lay a finger on Lord Yao, I will immediately send troops to the capital to capture Li Hui. I will repay him for what he did to me."

“If you send troops to the capital, things will escalate, which will not be good for you. You also need to consider the emperor’s feelings.”

When I returned to the capital this time, together with my father, I persuaded the emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter, to bring the truth to light, to expose the ugly side of the eldest prince, and to make the whole world despise him.

Although Li Hui is the eldest prince, the emperor has not yet appointed him as the crown prince. Although the principle of appointing the crown prince in the Great Northern Dynasty is to prioritize the eldest son of the legitimate wife, it is not absolute.

So many years have passed, and the eldest prince has not been officially appointed. This is largely due to Li Hui's personal abilities. The emperor is considering the long-term prosperity of the Great Northern Dynasty, so he will not make a decision rashly.

This war may be the will of Heaven. The actions of the eldest prince have chilled the emperor's heart and made him a laughingstock of the world.

But the young prince was different. When the Northern Dynasty was in its most perilous moment, he stepped forward and turned the tide. The emperor and his ministers knew this well.

Li Guang nodded, determined to remain calm and avoid any conflict with Li Hui for the time being.

Thinking of this, Li Guang spoke:

"Sister, don't worry. What I need to do now is to train the 100,000-strong army and cultivate the thousands of acres of land at home."

As for the Crown Prince's messy affairs, let him cause them. If he really misbehaves, I will deal with him.

“That’s right. I’ll handle things in the capital, so you don’t need to worry about it,” Li Xue said.

Meng Yaoyao listened quietly to the conversation between the siblings. She herself had only recently learned Li Guang's true identity.

She felt very sad after learning about Li Guang's difficult experiences over the past three years.

What I need to do now is to quietly help Li Guang so that he can accomplish his great cause.

The following morning, Li Xue set off for Beijing. Many villagers gathered at the village entrance to see her off, and Li Xue bid farewell to everyone with tears in her eyes.

After seeing Li Xue off, Li Guang went to the military camp and instructed Yao Lin and Gu Huai to intensify the training of the troops and improve the soldiers' combat capabilities.

He planned to lead a large army to the border after a period of time to help Marshal Han wipe out all the barbarian troops on the border and bring the border to complete stability.

After arranging these things, Li Guang returned to the farm, changed into old clothes, took the furniture, and prepared to go to the fields to take a look.

Seeing this, Meng Yaoyao also wanted to go to the fields with Li Guang. Li Guang smiled and said:

"Okay, but this outfit isn't suitable for going to the fields. You should change into something else."

"Okay, I'll go change now, wait for me a moment." Meng Yaoyao said and went to change her clothes.

Meng Yaoyao quickly changed her clothes, dressed like a typical village girl. Li Guang nodded and told Meng Yaoyao to carry a basket on her back as they prepared to go out.

Seeing this, the little fox Yu Hong jumped into the basket, wanting to go out for a stroll as well.

Li Guang smiled and stroked Yu Hong's little head.

At this time, the fields are full of people working, and many farmers are walking along the paths in the fields.

When they saw Li Guang and Meng Yaoyao, they stopped to greet them, and Li Guang and Meng Yaoyao responded very politely.

A few days ago, Li Guang returned in triumph with a large army. The whole village came to the village entrance to welcome him. At that time, Li Guang was riding a white horse and wielding a silver spear, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. Now, he has taken off his armor and become a farmer.

Although people do not yet know that Li Guang was the young prince of the current dynasty, it is certain that Li Guang was a general.

Along the way, people greeted Li Guang, and Li Guang enjoyed the atmosphere very much. He was willing to mingle with the villagers.

The crops in the fields were growing well, and the farming in Shuixian Village was not affected by the war at all.
