Upon seeing this, Deputy General Sun immediately reached out and took the spear with great enthusiasm. Then, as if he wanted to show off his abilities, he raised his hand and picked up the silver spear, intending to twirl it in the air.
Ouch!
But to everyone's surprise, the silver spear not only failed to be wielded the next second, but it almost fell from his hand to the ground and hit his foot.
Seeing the man's flustered appearance, Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking to himself, "Is this guy here just to make us laugh?"
Having finally managed to steady his silver spear, Deputy General Sun felt somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, then forced a smile at the crowd, seemingly trying to cover up his awkwardness.
At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, as he really hadn't expected the silver spear to be so heavy.
At this moment, although Deputy General Sun appeared nonchalant on the surface, he was inwardly seething with rage.
Because he had exerted too much force just now, he seemed to have twisted his waist, but to avoid being laughed at by others, he could only swallow his pain and bear it alone without daring to utter a sound.
I wish I hadn't come to join in the fun.
Deputy General Sun couldn't help but groan inwardly, but then put on a serious face and said to Li Changsheng, "You're quite capable, kid. You managed to hold up something this heavy? Not bad, not bad. You'll definitely have no problem practicing martial arts later!"
After hearing these words, Li Changsheng's expression softened slightly, and he stopped holding a grudge about what had just happened. However, he still hoped that one day he could actually pick up that gun.
"Alright, now that you've seen it and touched it, I'll put it away for the time being."
Li Chang'an spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Sun quickly handed the silver spear back, then subtly rubbed his lower back and asked with some confusion, "General, why are you putting away such a fine weapon? Why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an simply waved his hand and then casually said, "Firstly, this thing is too eye-catching and conspicuous to carry around normally. Secondly, if you only need to defend yourself, a knife or sword is enough. If you were to use this, it would be a waste of its potential."
After saying this, Li Chang'an put the silver spear back into the wooden box, locked it with a mechanism, and then ordered the soldiers to carry the item to his room.
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Sun nodded thoughtfully. Then, when he heard Li Chang'an say that he wanted to see Li Changsheng's archery skills, he immediately perked up and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, this is a perfect opportunity to have our general give you some pointers!"
After saying that, Deputy General Sun excitedly pulled Li Changsheng to the archery range that had been temporarily converted at the back.
But to everyone's surprise, Li Changsheng suddenly broke free from him, then moved closer to Li Chang'an, pouting and glaring at Deputy General Sun, puffing out his chest and saying, "What general nonsense! This is all thanks to my elder sister. You'd better understand this relationship, or I, the Crown Prince, will punish you for the grave offense of disrespect!"
"Hey! You little brat, do you think you can get away with anything just because you have someone backing you up?"
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Sun was furious. He then pointed at Li Changsheng and berated him, his voice changing tone, perfectly embodying the phrase "insubordination."
"How dare you! How dare you speak so disrespectfully to me, the Crown Prince! If I am a brat, then aren't you an old man?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng stomped his foot and then pointed at Deputy General Sun, refuting his statement with absolute certainty.
Listening to the child's nonsensical words, Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Then, with a wry smile, she reached out and gently patted the back of Li Changsheng's head, before putting her finger to her lips in a shushing gesture.
At this moment, Deputy General Sun was speechless, choked by Li Changsheng's blunt retort.
His face turned red and then pale, and even though he didn't do anything or say anything, he still looked quite remarkable.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Chang Sheng, let's hurry up and go, otherwise we won't be able to see anything when it gets completely dark."
After saying that, she took Li Changsheng's hand and left.
Deputy General Sun was so embarrassed by being scolded by a child that he felt frustrated for a long time before he could recover.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath, then comforted himself by thinking that he was already quite old and shouldn't stoop to the level of this little kid.
He then followed Li Chang'an and Li Changsheng and left together.
But after taking only two steps, Li Chang'an, who was in front of him, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Deputy General Sun.
Her series of actions caught Deputy General Sun off guard, and he stopped in his tracks, not understanding why.
"You don't need to come along, go back."
Li Chang'an spoke calmly.
"ah?"
Deputy General Sun was completely confused by her words. He opened his mouth to say something more, but was interrupted by Li Chang'an again.
"Is your back pain gone? Go back and get some safflower oil or something to rub on it, so it doesn't become a chronic problem."
Li Chang'an raised his eyebrows slightly, his face still showing a calm and composed expression.
Upon hearing this, Deputy General Sun suddenly felt a dull ache in his lower back, which he had previously thought had subsided.
He couldn't help but frown slightly, then reached out and pressed the twisted spot, a conflicted look immediately appearing on his face.
hiss……
It really hurts!
Seeing this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile slightly, and then said, "You should go quickly, don't delay."
Now Deputy General Zisun was completely speechless. He felt a mix of emotions—a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of regret and helplessness), and a touch of embarrassment.
He had initially thought his little actions were quite discreet. However, it turned out everyone had seen right through him, so he could only nod slightly to Li Chang'an and obediently go back to treat his aching back.
Li Chang'an and Li Changsheng arrived at the training ground behind the villa.
At this time of day, there are hardly any people left on the training field.
Li Changsheng went to get the bow and arrows, and then solemnly held the bow in his hand and carried the quiver on his back.
Looking at Li Changsheng's serious expression, a smile involuntarily appeared in Li Chang'an's eyes. He thought to himself that this child really did seem to be someone special.
