Chapter 280 Shifting Targets



Even Xuanmang was like this, but the silver spear did not show any spirituality that made Li Chang'an feel it was an extraordinary weapon.

That day, after she finished wielding the silver spear, although the feel was indeed very smooth, that didn't necessarily mean anything.

After all, it cost a lot of money to get this. If it can't even be used smoothly in the most basic way, wouldn't that make me a sucker?

Thinking about it this way, Li Chang'an couldn't help but become interested in the silver spear. She wanted to see if there would be any connection between the silver spear and her dagger Xuan Guang, which were both divine weapons.

So Li Chang'an immediately reached out and drew the dagger from his waist, then brought it closer to the silver spear.

After waiting patiently for a while, Li Chang'an did not find any unusual changes between the two, as if she had just put two ordinary objects together.

Well, it seems I was just overthinking it!

Li Chang'an couldn't help but secretly grumble to himself, guessing that it was because these were two different types of weapons, and even if they were truly spiritual, they wouldn't be able to communicate with each other.

This is like putting a Taoist master and a high-ranking monk together. Although both are practitioners, one practices Taoism while the other studies Buddhism, so they naturally cannot have anything in common.

However, the most urgent task at present is not to unravel the mystery of this silver spear. After all, such mysterious things still require following the will of heaven to obtain the opportunity.

Just like when Li Chang'an inadvertently discovered the strange movement of Xuan Guang earlier.

Li Chang'an felt that the best course of action was to hide the silver spear properly, otherwise, as long as it was coveted, he would never have a moment's peace.

The reason why the people from Dark Night Pavilion came to the General's Mansion last time was because they knew that the silver spear was currently in the General's Mansion.

Clearly, the general's mansion is no longer an ideal hiding place for this silver spear.

Putting aside the safety of the weapon itself, Li Chang'an would certainly not allow this silver spear to affect the safety of the entire General's Mansion, given the number of lives lost there.

Moreover, the previous incident had already left Chun Tao with immense fear and trauma.

Li Chang'an felt that the consequences would be unimaginable if Qin Yubao were the one to be frightened next.

Since the crisis has been anticipated, it is imperative to nip it in the bud.

So Li Chang'an made a decision: she planned to move the hiding place of the silver spear to a villa in the suburbs.

The next morning, Li Chang'an set off in a carriage.

To avoid attracting attention, Li Chang'an unusually did not choose to ride alone this time, but instead hid the silver spear in the carriage.

However, this meant the speed was naturally slower than riding a horse, and by the time they reached the villa on the outskirts of the city, it was already evening with the sun setting in the west.

The soldiers guarding the gate immediately became alert upon seeing the carriage, and one of them shouted at the driver, "Who goes there?"

"We...we came from the General's Mansion..."

The coachman had never seen anything like it before, and for a moment, he was so frightened that he started to stutter.

Upon hearing this, the soldier raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking that the only person from the general's mansion was their general, but then he became somewhat skeptical of what the other party was saying.

You should know that Li Chang'an had always come here alone on horseback before, and had never made such a spectacle of himself traveling in a carriage with his family.

Just as the soldier was about to ask some more questions, the carriage curtain was suddenly lifted by a pair of fair hands.

Li Chang'an peeked out from inside, barely showing her face, and before she could even speak, the soldiers guarding the door immediately bowed respectfully to her.

"No need for such formalities."

Then, Li Chang'an leaped up and nimbly jumped down from the carriage.

"Oh! It's our general!"

Just then, Deputy General Sun also came out after hearing the commotion. Upon seeing that it was Li Chang'an, he immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

Upon seeing Deputy General Sun, Li Changsheng's expression softened considerably.

To be honest, it had been a long time since she had come to visit, and for a moment she felt a sense of warmth, like a wanderer returning home.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Deputy General Sun looked at the carriage behind Li Chang'an with some surprise and asked, "Oh, what's going on? Why did you suddenly switch to riding in a carriage?"

Li Chang'an smiled slightly, then shook his head. He then leaned close to Deputy General Sun's ear and explained the whole story. The man's expression immediately changed, and he then called several soldiers to carry the items out of the carriage.

It was a rectangular wooden box, painted entirely in red. Its long and thin shape looked extremely strange, making it impossible to guess what was inside.

This box was the same one used to hold the silver spear when it was delivered from the auction house to the general's mansion, and now Li Chang'an has brought it here intact.

The group then entered the courtyard, where they happened to run into Li Changsheng, who was running towards them excitedly.

"Royal Sister!"

Upon seeing Li Chang'an, Li Changsheng's smile deepened. He waved to the woman from afar and then grinned broadly.

The child's innocent smile touched the softest spot in Li Chang'an's heart. She couldn't help but smile slightly and wave back at the child.

"You're really well-informed! You seem to care about everything except your studies!"

Seeing Li Changsheng running over excitedly, Deputy General Sun couldn't help but tease him.

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng was quite displeased. He immediately pouted and rolled his eyes at the person, then said with great dissatisfaction, "I've been busy all day, can't you let me rest? Besides, shouldn't I go out to greet my elder sister when she arrives?"

Seeing Li Changsheng's mature demeanor immediately amused Li Chang'an. She couldn't help but reach out and pinch the little guy's cheeks, only to find that they weren't as chubby as before.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the child seemed to have grown taller over the past few days.

Upon hearing this, Deputy General Sun simply laughed and said nothing more. Then, Li Changsheng pulled Li Chang'an aside and enthusiastically told her about his progress over the years.

Unexpectedly, Li Changsheng has started practicing archery after not seeing him for some time.
