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

Fang Daren said with a bitter expression, "Of course I know that I'm going to die either way, I just hope that my family won't be implicated."

Fan Xian took out his Ti Si token, and Fang Daren, as a third-rank military officer, naturally knew the significance of a Ti Si.

"So Young Master Fan has this other identity, being on the same level as the heads of various departments, second only to the Dean."

Fan Xian made a quick decision: "Tell me who is behind this, and I won't force you to identify them in court."

"If the Niulan Street assassination case is judged as being orchestrated by the Northern Qi, as long as you insist that the weapons were stolen, I will spare your life."

He wasn't writing a blank check, because Shadow had said that he was in charge of the Niulan Street case.

Fang Daren's eyes started to move, indicating that he was tempted. Who would choose death if there was a way to live?

"Lord Tiss, are you planning to seek revenge in private?"

"However, the mastermind behind this is all-powerful and will definitely find out that I revealed his identity. In that case, I will still be doomed."

Fan Xian sneered, "No, I will make everyone think that I got the information from a spy from Northern Qi."

Fang Daren began to hesitate; his survival depended on whether Fan Xian kept his promise.

If you believe in Fan Xian, there's a glimmer of hope. If you don't, you'll be convicted by the Supervisory Council and face certain death.

Fang Daren emphasized again, "I'll only tell you the name; you can look up the rest yourself."

However, I will never admit it to anyone, nor will I ever testify against it in court.

Suppressing his excitement, Fan Xian reiterated, "I guarantee this to you in the name of the Director of the Surveillance Bureau!"

Fang Daren lowered his voice to the lowest level, "The second young master of the Prime Minister's residence, Lin Gong."

Fan Xian had been in the capital for over a month and naturally knew that Lin Gong was a retainer of the Crown Prince.

As he had guessed, things turned out to be pretty much as he had expected: the eldest princess and the crown prince's faction were plotting to assassinate him!

Upon hearing this news, Fan Xian left the military commander's residence without looking back.

After they went outside, Zong asked, "So, is he willing to point the finger at the real culprit?"

Since Fan Xian had promised Fang Daren, he could only keep it a secret for him. "He was probably frightened by the way the other party had wiped out his family, and insisted that he didn't know who had stolen the weapons."

Zong Zhui said, "Why don't we arrest Fang Daren and torture him to extract a confession!"

Fan Xian sneered, "No matter how severe our punishments are, they can't compare to threatening the lives of the entire family. If we push him too far, he will definitely commit suicide."

“I want to go and talk to Ruowei again. The interrogation time that day was too short, and I haven’t been able to use some of the methods yet.”

As they talked, the two continued walking toward the Overwatch Council.

Upon entering the Supervisory Council, Fan Xian directly relayed Shadow's words, and Yan Ruohai, the head of the Fourth Bureau, also came forward to testify. Fan Xian successfully entered the dungeon to interrogate Ruowei.

Late at night, at Guangxin Palace.

The female official knelt before Li Yunrui, her body trembling violently with fear.

"Your Highness, we did not expect to encounter the Shadow Guards, but after our first failure, we dared not send anyone to the General's residence again."

Li Yunrui said calmly, "You did the right thing."

It was Li Chang'an's Shadow Guards again; the assassination attempt on Niulan Street was also caused by them.

"My dear younger brother, he better not have meant it..."

He removed me from the Langya Pavilion's beauty list, and I haven't even settled the score with him yet.

"I'll give him one last chance. If he messes things up for me again, even if it's unintentional, I'll teach him a lesson!"

The female official quickly said, "After Fan Xian left, there was no large contingent of the Surveillance Bureau protecting the General's Mansion. It seems that Fang Daren wasn't talking nonsense."

Li Yunrui said confidently, "According to the intelligence agency, Fan Xian is still interrogating those three brothel women overnight."

"Fang Daren shouldn't be talking nonsense. Don't go to the military commander's residence anymore, lest you attract attention."

The female official said nervously, "Those three courtesans, I wonder if they have seen Lin Gong."

Li Yunrui said calmly, "Who knows? Maybe we'll see it by accident. Let's just wait and see."

Three days later.

Li Chang'an spent a night at the Luowang stronghold on the outskirts of the capital before returning to the Yongwang Mansion.

According to the current Langya List of Beauties, the first place is Zhan Pianpian, and the second place is Si Lili.

Therefore, after winning over Si Lili's body and soul, Li Chang'an's ranking of ladies directly entered the top 100.

After Li Chang'an completely opened the channel to Si Lili's heart, she confessed everything about herself.

Si Lili holds a very important place in the heart of the young emperor of Northern Qi. In the original drama, Zhan Doudou specially arranged for Si Lili to be sent back to Northern Qi.

Li Chang'an was determined to make a trip to Northern Qi. For the sake of absolute power and romance, he had to win over the Zhan sisters, Zhan Doudou and Zhan Pianpian.

Si Lili can only be temporarily hidden in the Luo Wang stronghold. When the time is right, she can be brought back to Northern Qi and play a game of espionage with the young emperor of Northern Qi.

Li Chang'an's progress in the Blue-level Pagoda is very fast because during the previous cultivation of the Yellow-level Pagoda, his meridians and flesh had already been reforged, making it much easier to temper his muscles and skin now.

Since mastering the Yellow-level Pagoda, Li Chang'an has been cultivating at almost full capacity, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

"Jing Ni, how's the trial of the Niulan Street assassination case going?"

Jing Ni quickly replied, "After Si Lili was abducted, Fan Xian took over the presiding judgeship of the case from Zhu Ge."

"He has been interrogating three courtesans in the Supervisory Council, especially the courtesan Ruowei, whom he interrogates for more than three hours every day."

"Fan Xian extracted some information about the Northern Qi spies from Ruowei and promised to save her life and prevent her from being interrogated by others."

Fan Xian has been putting on an act for the past three days and hasn't actually conducted any interrogations.

He already knew that Lin Gong was the mastermind, but he wanted to wait and see if Shadow could bring Si Lili back.

If Shadow catches Si Lili, Fan Xian can get a confession from her without exposing Fang Daren.

If Si Lili really can't be caught, he plans to assassinate Lin Gong to get revenge!

Li Chang'an said, "I have already protected Fang Daren. Fan Xian should be able to extract information about Lin Gong from Fang Daren."

"Keep an eye on Lin Gong, and have the spies in the Fan family keep a close watch. Wu Zhu should be back soon."

Li Chang'an had told Jing Ni everything about Wu Zhu.

"Your Highness, you have already broken through to the Blue-level Pagoda?"

Li Chang'an said, "It'll be soon, probably in a few days."

Jing Ni said, "This subordinate remembers that His Highness said that once he breaks through to the Blue-level Floating Pagoda, he will be able to fight Wu Zhu!"

Li Chang'an felt the powerful true energy within his body, and his skin, which could become as hard as iron with a single breath, gave him confidence.

"At that time, I probably won't be able to kill him, but he won't be able to kill me easily either!"

The Yi Jin Jing is a method for training the physical body and does not interfere with the condensation of true qi. The true qi in Li Chang'an's body is still the powerful Beiming True Qi.

The Northern Darkness True Qi, equivalent to fifty times that of an ordinary ninth-rank martial artist, is enough to make the Lingbo Weibu unleash terrifying speed.

Even if a Grandmaster wanted to kill Li Chang'an, he might not be able to catch up!

Just then, a report came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, Lord Sinan has arrived with Fan Xian."

Li Chang'an was a little puzzled. Compared to Fan Ruoruo and Fan Sizhe, Fan Jian was a rare guest, and Fan Xian had never been here before.

Chapter 86 Chen Pingping's Hidden Black Riders! Fan Xian's Night Assassination Attempt on Lin Gong!

Li Chang'an never befriended court officials, a fact known to all the ministers, and they were always turned away when they came to him.

Although he and Fan Ruoruo were close, Fan Jian didn't come around very often.

"Invite them in."

Fan Jian and his son were led into the main room, where Li Chang'an, dressed in a python robe, sat upright.

Fan Jian had a smile on his face, while Fan Xian looked very uncomfortable, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I have come here on behalf of my son to express my gratitude for saving his life."

Li Chang'an didn't intentionally send someone to rescue Fan Xian, so he never expected that the person would come to thank him.

Thinking about it carefully, Xing Yusen and Wang Qinian each saved Fan Xian once.

In fact, Prince Yong's mansion did save Fan Xian's life.

After Fan Jian finished speaking, he actually lifted his robe and was about to kneel down, and Fan Xian could no longer hide his unease.

Actually, it's only right for him to thank Li Chang'an; he certainly doesn't have any psychological barriers to it.

But the fact that he was asked to kneel down upon arrival made him feel incredibly awkward.

I already knelt down in front of so many people at the poetry gathering, so it would be inexcusable if I didn't kneel down now.

Li Chang'an gave a wink to Zhen Gangduanshui, who was greeting guests, and the two quickly helped Si Nanbo up.

"Sinanbo is a pillar of the nation, so let's skip this grand ceremony."

Seeing that the two eunuchs had helped Fan Jian up but not him at all, Fan Xian had no choice but to kneel down helplessly.
