All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

"This is just one clue, but it could involve collusion between the military and Northern Qi, and the implications are significant..."

Fan Xian immediately stood up, not even bothering to ask how Zong Zhui knew. "Let's go, let's go check out the military commander's residence first!"

Inside the Black Riders' camp.

Chen Pingping was also shocked by the news. "How could it be Haitang Duoduo? Is Si Lili that important?"

Upon seeing this news, Shadow couldn't help but exclaim in regret, "If only I had escorted Fan Xian for a while, he could have fought the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi! What a pity!"

Chen Pingping ignored the martial arts fanatic in the shadow and continued talking to himself, "Last month's secret report said that Haitang Duoduo went to the Western Qin Kingdom to fight the Master of Langya Pavilion."

Li Chang'an beat up the master of Langya Pavilion, rearranged the ranking of masters, placed Ku He at the bottom of the four grandmasters, and kicked Hai Tang out of the top ten masters.

Haitang Duoduo was resentful, and coupled with her anger at being drugged by Li Chang'an by the North Sea, she went to the Western Qin Kingdom to seek revenge after being bestowed the title of Heavenly Vein Master.

Shadow spoke of the latest intelligence, "Dean, the Langya Pavilion's initial rankings were influenced by the Western Qin royal family, but later, after Prince Yong came knocking, it was also influenced by Daqing."

"From then on, the Master of Langya Pavilion spent a lot of money to hire thirty experts, claiming that once the Langya Ranking was published, no matter who came, not a single word would be changed!"

"So, after Haitang Duoduo went there, she didn't get any benefits and left the Western Qin Kingdom. After that, her whereabouts were unknown."

Chen Pingping said with a solemn expression, "So it's not impossible that Haitang Duoduo infiltrated Daqing!"

A ninth-rank master, if truly dedicated to stealth and assassination, would indeed be impossible to guard against.

The Surveillance Bureau's intelligence network in enemy countries is not as developed as the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven). Because the Luo Wang has no national boundaries, it has not yet been discovered in Southern Qing and Northern Qi, so it is not defended against.

Occasionally, a group of members of the Luo Wang organization would be discovered, claiming to be members of the Langya Pavilion and making a living by gathering intelligence on the martial arts world. With the help of the local Luo Wang members bribing the government, they would usually be released.

The investigation by Xihu has revealed that Haitang Duoduo's attempt to cause trouble for Langya Pavilion was a ruse.

Her true purpose was not that; she had already led her elite Imperial Guards, traversing mountains and rivers, to the Western Hu to forge an alliance.

The aim was to incite the Western Hu to fight against the Southern Qing. Of course, this mission had to be kept secret, and the Northern Qi must not let the Southern Qing know about it.

Therefore, Jingni framed Haitang Duoduo, and Haitang Duoduo had no way to explain herself.

Chen Pingping said to Shadow, "You personally lead a team to search the surrounding area, and also send someone to Danzhou to temporarily close the port for three days!"

"If we can capture Haitang Duoduo, it will relieve His Majesty of a great worry."

The news that Haitang Duoduo had been appointed as a Heavenly Vein Being made very uncomfortable to the emperor and his ministers in Nanqing.

Everyone worships the temple, so why should the Celestial Vein be born in your country?

Royal study room.

Fan Jian, who had just come last night, was called over again.

Emperor Qing handed him the intelligence report, saying, "Take a look! Take a look!"

"Fan Xian captured Si Lili and even openly paraded through the streets, so no one dared to make a move!"

"Fan Jian, it seems Fan Xian is quite capable after all!"

Fan Jian knew that he hadn't had much confidence in Fan Xian last night, and Emperor Qing was unhappy about it; this was just a show of force.

"Your Majesty, I certainly hope that Fan Xian can capture Si Lili, but we must also take into account the cunning of our opponents."

Emperor Qing's expression remained cold and stern. "Our opponents are cunning, but Fan Xian is even more cunning!"

"Now everyone knows that Si Lili is in Fan Xian's hands, so who would dare to openly try to snatch her away?"

Despite Emperor Qing's sarcastic remarks, Fan Jian remained unperturbed, saying, "I am most skilled at strategizing in gambling, and I remember the benefits I have gained most clearly!"

"Your Majesty promised that if Si Lili is captured, Fan Xian will be appointed as the Assistant General of Music. I have not forgotten that!"

Emperor Qing sneered, "A ruler's word is law. Since he was able to capture Si Lili, this eighth-rank official position belongs to Fan Xian!"

"Are you afraid I'll deny it? Do you think I'm Lin Ruofu, who can take back his moves after making them?!"

Fan Jian finally felt completely relieved. His biggest worry was that the person behind the scenes would sabotage Fan Xian and prevent him from catching the culprit.

Now that Fan Xian has secured his official position, even if something unexpected happens, Emperor Qing cannot go back on his word.

As luck would have it, Eunuch Hou hurriedly entered.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the latest news about Lord Fan!"

"Si Lili has been kidnapped by Haitang Duoduo!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing's face immediately stiffened. "What? The Holy Maiden of Northern Qi dares to come to Great Qing!"

Fan Jian's heart pounded. This was too eerie; what he feared most had come to pass.

Emperor Qing snatched the intelligence report and examined it closely, while Fan Jian quickly knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty! It's Fan Xian's ability to capture Si Lili before the Supervisory Council can do it!"

"They were captured and then abducted again; that's because the enemy is cunning!"

"Fan Xian is capable, he's a General of Music..."

In the entire Great Qing Kingdom, only Fan Jian dared to challenge Emperor Qing's army.

Emperor Qing said impatiently, "Shut up! The General of Music I promised him won't escape."

In Emperor Qing's scheme, Fan Xian must be promoted quickly, so Emperor Qing is even more anxious than Fan Jian!

into the night.

In the suburbs of Beijing, there is a wealthy man's mansion. The underground of the mansion is the intelligence center of Luo Wang, where the most core loyalists of Luo Wang work.

The Luo Wang network currently only receives intelligence, processes it, and then Jing Ni reports it to Li Chang'an, so it is not difficult to operate. All data will be destroyed within three days.

Jingni sent Sili to the underground secret room here and had four maids serve her to bathe and change clothes.

The secret room was very spacious, with bookshelves and a desk, and a huge bed stood out.

Si Lili couldn't help but sigh, "Royal children really know how to enjoy life. How many people could sleep on this bed?"

Not far from the bedside, there is a mirror that is as tall as a person.

Among the mirrors produced by the Nanqing Imperial Treasury, those of this size could only be custom-made for the royal family; ordinary people could never see them.

Si Lili sat in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.

This face is indeed beautiful, but it is unbearable to be seen in public, at least not in Nanqing.

In a daze, a figure suddenly appeared in the mirror.

Si Lili turned around in surprise, and there stood Prince Yong, whom she had been thinking about every day.

Name: Si Lili

Age: 20

Realm: Upper Seventh Rank

Talents: Music (Rank 8), Intelligence (Rank 3)

Abilities: Singing (Ninth Rank), Intelligence (Seventh Rank), Poetry (Sixth Rank)

Emotion: 100

She slowly approached Li Chang'an and said softly, "Your Highness has arrived. I am very grateful to Your Highness for saving my life."

Li Chang'an gazed intently at the woman who could have been the most beautiful courtesan; illuminated by the candlelight, she was as radiant as a rose.

"It's been years! How are you going to thank me for saving your life?"

The two were only one step away from their relationship, and Si Lili felt a little weak when she heard Li Chang'an's voice.

She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and said, "Your Highness, I will help you change your clothes and serve you well."

Although she had lived in a brothel for many years, Si Lili was still inexperienced in matters of the heart, and her heart was already pounding.

Li Chang'an was used to having people change his clothes, so he naturally didn't refuse, "Mm."

With her slender hands untying her jade belt, Si Lili suddenly remembered something. "Your Highness, shall we compose a poem today?"

Li Chang'an laughed and said, "When I was a child, I was ignorant and went to brothels to hug girls and write poems. Thinking about it now, I was really sick."

Si Lili smiled and said, "It seems that Your Highness has grown up and knows things that are more interesting than writing poetry."

Li Chang'an looked at Si Lili's hand and said, "Get to the point and stop beating around the bush."

Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Si Lili continued to help Li Chang'an remove his brocade robe and inner garment.

Before long, Si Lili's cheeks burned like fire, and she was extremely shy.

As soon as those jade-like hands removed Li Chang'an's inner garment, and their gazes touched his very core, Si Lili's bright eyes seemed to be burned, and she quickly turned her face away.

Her heart pounded wildly, and her captivating eyes darted around, unsure of where to look.

"Good... good... good..."

Si Lili mumbled "good" several times, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say the last word.

Li Chang'an couldn't help but laugh, "A respectable courtesan! Yet she's so shy!"

Si Lili gently lifted her hand and untied her skirt. Li Chang'an flicked it with his fingers, and the pink dress smoothly fell to the ground.

Then, Si Lili gently untied the last ribbon on her body.

Li Chang'an wrapped one arm around her full, soft waist and gently stroked her delicate, beautiful face with the other.

Si Lili's eyebrows were delicately drawn, and her flushed cheeks lifted as she looked at the man she had longed for day and night.
