Even if she could never get married, Lin Wan'er would be content.
"Then... I must thank my wife properly."
Li Chang'an turned Lin Wan'er's fragrant shoulder and captured her peach-red lips, continuing to savor her sweetness.
Lin Wan'er noticed that the ties of her dress had been untied, and her fair cheeks were flushed with rouge, her bright eyes seeming to moisten.
Although Lin Wan'er was extremely shy, her tone was unusually firm.
"My husband, today Wan'er wants to be your true husband and wife, even if the sky falls, we will be together."
Li Chang'an couldn't help but tease, "Is Wan'er just saying it, or is she really willing?"
Lin Wan'er's delicate body trembled slightly, overjoyed by the affection Li Chang'an showed, her heart trembling incessantly.
However, at this moment, she was just like the characters in the poem, afraid to face the situation when it came down to it.
Lin Wan'er, whose robes were already half undone, closed her beautiful eyes slightly, turned around and buried her head in the pillow, her buttocks sticking up high.
"My husband is teasing Wan'er again."
"Silly girl, how can we be a real couple if we don't tease and play pranks on each other?"
After speaking, Li Chang'an pulled down the bed curtains, grabbed Lin Wan'er, and teased and tormented her until she began to beg for mercy.
"My lord, spare me! I say it, and I mean it..."
Li Chang'an turned Lin Wan'er over, looking somewhat disbelieving.
"Wan'er, people's hearts are unfathomable, we must go in and see."
Lin Wan'er's red lips moved slightly, her voice as soft and timid as a mosquito's buzz, "Then come in..."
……
For several days afterward, Li Chang'an would secretly run to the Royal Villa as soon as it got dark.
It wasn't that I was lusting after her body; it was just that Lin Wan'er had been so devoted, and I couldn't very well neglect her.
The war between Qi and Qing is drawing to a close, and the Qing Kingdom has basically decided on a policy of gradual encroachment.
The Qing Kingdom has now occupied a province of the Northern Qi, and despite numerous attempts by the Northern Qi, they have been completely powerless to reclaim it.
Li Chang'an then continued his cultivation of the White-level Floating Pagoda, a process that gradually improves his control over true qi, ultimately enabling the true qi in each acupoint to be released precisely.
Once you reach that level, you've mastered the White-level Pagoda.
After that, true energy can break through the limitations of meridians and acupoints and fill the physical body.
Wu Zhu is right. Studying the secret manuals of other grandmasters is very beneficial for improving one's control over true qi.
In this world, apart from the temple messenger Wu Zhu, the four grandmasters all have successors, but none of them have broken through to the level of grandmaster.
In the original novel, even geniuses like Fan Xian, Haitang Duoduo, and Wang Shisanlang never broke through to the Grandmaster level.
Therefore, if Li Chang'an wants to break through to the Grandmaster level, he still needs to rely on the Yi Jin Jing that he can obtain through the system.
However, studying the techniques of other grandmasters can serve as an auxiliary method, helping him improve the speed at which he can control his true energy.
In particular, the Heavenly Dao Technique, the Four Directions Sword Art, and the Overbearing True Qi were three techniques that Ye Qingmei brought out from the temple.
Essentially, these techniques are methods that artificial intelligence has repeatedly deduced over the past tens of thousands of years, revealing how humans can maximize the use of nuclear radiation.
These methods are not applicable to everyone. If they were universally applicable, people like Yun Zhilan, Yingzi, and Langtao would all have broken through to the Grandmaster level.
Li Chang'an estimated that studying just one or two of these books should yield significant results.
He first ruled out the domineering true qi, as Fan Xian only had half of it, while Emperor Qing had the whole thing.
However, Li Chang'an did not expect to obtain the Grandmaster cultivation technique from Emperor Qing.
The easiest thing to obtain right now is, of course, the Heavenly Dao Method in Sean's mind.
At that time, both Xiao En and Ku He obtained the Heavenly Dao Technique from Ye Qingmei, but only Ku He mastered it and eventually became a Grandmaster.
In the following days, Li Chang'an attempted to infiltrate the Surveillance Bureau, successfully sneaking into every place where doors and windows could be opened.
He also stole Zhu Ge's peanuts and swiped a pot of flowers from Chen Pingping without even noticing.
However, Sean was locked in the deepest dungeon, with no doors or windows to enter, so Li Chang'an could not sneak in silently.
Fortunately, Sean will be exchanged back to his home country soon, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
In the present Northern Qi Dynasty, General Shang Shanhu holds a very important position, but he is not good at political maneuvering.
Therefore, he wanted to bring his adoptive father, Xiao En, who was also the former head of the Northern Wei spy ring, back to Northern Qi to help him.
Zhuang Mohan, a literary giant and teacher to scholars everywhere, is Xiao En's older brother and hopes to bring Xiao En, who is imprisoned in Nanqing, back to the country.
The most important figures in both the civil and military affairs of the Northern Qi Kingdom all hoped that Xiao En would return to the country, something that Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping had foreseen long ago when they were making their plans.
Northern Qi Dynasty.
The General's Mansion.
Zhuang Mohan traveled lightly and with few attendants to visit Uesugi Tora.
"General, the war has not yet ended, why have you returned from the front lines?"
Uesugi Tora's face darkened as he said, "Since you are my adoptive father and elder brother, I won't hide it from you anymore."
"The Southern Qing army is at its peak, and the Great Qi will not be able to take back that province."
"I lost a province in this battle, and His Majesty and the Empress Dowager took away my military power."
Zhuang Mohan was not in the imperial court and only heard about the infighting, but he knew that Shangshan Hu was good at conquering and not good at power struggles.
"General, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. With Master Kuhe in charge of the Great Qi, I don't think the Southern Qing would dare to go too far."
Uesugi Tora sneered, "The young emperor was unwilling to accept this, so he changed generals and continued to fight. Now he's still suffering heavy losses."
"Sir, the outcome of the war is decided. Before long, His Majesty will have no choice but to accept defeat and send someone to Nanqing to sue for peace."
"Sir, have you come here to take advantage of this peace talk to rescue your godfather?"
Zhuang Mohan said with concern, "Years ago, when I was rising to fame in the literary world, my brother refused to accept the benefits of my fame and insisted on making a name for himself through his own abilities."
"Therefore, he changed his surname to his mother's and eventually became one of the most prominent figures in the Former Wei Dynasty."
It's a pity he was ambushed and kidnapped by Chen Pingping; he must have suffered greatly in the Southern Qing Surveillance Bureau.
“General, not long ago, I made contact with Princess Nanqing through the elders of Junshan Society, hoping to rescue Xiao En and bring him back to the country through her.”
Upon hearing this news, Uesugi Tora was overjoyed.
Junshan Society is a mysterious organization established by Li Yunrui. Initially, it was just an assassin organization that helped Li Yunrui with some minor tasks.
For example, Li Yunrui would use the Junshan Society to kill people that Emperor Qing wanted to kill but couldn't.
Later, as Li Yunrui's power grew, the organization became increasingly large.
Even Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi, and Zhuang Mohan were members of the Junshan Society.
Today, this organization is no longer just an assassin organization, but also a platform for important figures to exchange resources.
"Sir, is Li Yunrui willing to help mediate and persuade the Emperor of Nanqing to release my adoptive father back to his country?"
Zhuang Mohan said, "That's right. She sent a message saying that if we can do something for her, she will give us enough chips to get Sean back."
Uesugi Torata asked, "Sir, is this believable?"
Zhuang Mohan said, "Although the Junshan Society is secretive, Li Yunrui has never lost his credibility in his actions within the society."
"What she asked us to do was destroy a young man's foundation, ruin his reputation, and make it impossible for him to gain a foothold in Nanqing."
Uesugi Tora asked, puzzled, "Mr. Zhuang, how could she, the dignified Princess of Nanqing, not be able to do such a small thing?"
"Why not just kill him with one blow if you're dealing with a young man?"
Zhuang Mohan stroked his long beard and said, "That young man's name is Fan Xian, and he is currently only an eighth-rank Assistant Musician."
"He had only been in the capital of Nanqing for less than half a year, but he had already caused quite a stir and even survived an assassination attempt."
Speaking of Fan Xian, Shang Shanhu naturally comes to mind. The major events in Nanqing these past few months have all been inseparable from Fan Xian.
"Sir, I understand. Fan Xian's background is not simple. His father is Emperor Qing's childhood friend."
He's already a Director of the Censorate at a young age, and I've heard that Emperor Qing values him highly.
Zhuang Mohan said meaningfully, "He may also take over the financial power of the Southern Qing Treasury..."
Fan Xian's affair caused a great stir in the capital, and this information had already spread among the upper echelons.
Uesugi Tora suddenly realized, "So Li Yunrui was hesitant to act rashly and had to rely on external forces..."
Fan Xian is the young martial arts champion of Nanqing, and his greatest strength lies in his martial arts skills.
Zhuang Mohan nodded and said, "Li Yunrui wants Fan Xian's reputation ruined in public and his martial arts completely destroyed!"
"If he were a scholar, I could ruin his reputation even if I went against my conscience."
But he's a brute, so I have no choice but to ask you for help.
Uesugi Tora naturally did his utmost to rescue Sean.
"Sir, Nanqing values martial arts. We should send a young master of similar age to challenge him in public."
"During the challenge, completely cripple Fan Xian's internal energy. Even Emperor Qing will have nothing to say. That will make the task complete!"
