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

Because Li Chang'an is a prince of Daqing, he must be separated from the Luo Wang, whose leader is Zhao Gao.

Among these people, Li Chang'an singled out Fan Wujiu.

In a secret room within the Jiangnan Net, Li Chang'an got straight to the point.

"Fan Wujiu, do you want to participate in the imperial examination?"

Chapter 55 Fan Xian's Curiosity! Wu Zhu Wants to Assassinate Prince Yong!

Fan Wujiu was obsessed with studying the classics and taking the imperial examinations, and he was also talented at it.

It was precisely because he firmly believed that he could pass the imperial examination that he became enraged and rebelled after failing the provincial examination.

Fan Wujiu cupped his hands and replied, "Young master, I have already killed the remaining two salt merchants, and I have no more ties in Jiangnan Road."

"I possess some martial arts skills. If you do not mind, young master, I am willing to follow you!"

"As for participating in the imperial examination, it may be that it is not in my destiny, and there is no way to force it."

Fan Wujiu was very shrewd. He first expressed his loyalty, then explained that he wanted to participate in the imperial examination, but he did not insist that he do so.

Just now in the villa courtyard, Fan Wujiu had already seen through Li Chang'an's strength; he was definitely either rich or noble.

Climbing up to someone powerful and influential is the shortcut to survival in this world.

Whether or not one can participate in the imperial examinations in the future will depend on the word of the powerful and wealthy.

Li Chang'an said, "Your talent is quite good. I have a sword technique manual here. I, Old Xing, will make a copy and send it to the higher-ups."

"Xing Yusen and Fan Wujiu, you two are both quite talented. Copy this 'Spring and Autumn Sword Technique' and you should be able to break through to the ninth rank in a few years."

Upon hearing that he had broken through to the ninth rank, Xing Yusen immediately knelt down and accepted the manual, saying, "Your Highness, I thank you!"

Fan Wujiu was overjoyed, but also terrified, because he now knew Li Chang'an's identity!

"Xing Yusen, the Divine Constable of Daqing, is here! It turns out to be His Highness Prince Yong in person. Fan Wujiu pays his respects to His Highness!"

As a passionate lover of poetry and a candidate for the imperial examination who aspired to be a cultured person, Fan Wujiu's eyes were filled with a pilgrimage-like fervor.

Moreover, Li Chang'an saved his life and gifted him a treasured martial arts manual, giving him the possibility of breaking through to the ninth rank.

If he could follow his idol Li Chang'an, Fan Wujiu would have no regrets even if he didn't participate in the imperial examination.

At this moment, Fan Wujiu's emotional value surged to 100, just one step away from being a die-hard loyalist.

Fan Wujiu is different from Xia Qifei. Xia Qifei suffered hardships in his early years, and he will not easily submit without significant benefits. Winning over Xia Qifei will require a gradual approach.

However, Fan Wujiu was ultimately a scholar who knew martial arts, and in his heart, righteousness outweighed profit.

"Please get up. You are a scholar. I have a few lines of poetry for you to appreciate."

Upon hearing that Li Chang'an was going to compose a poem, Fan Wujiu's eyes burned with excitement, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

Li Chang'an picked up the brush and wrote half a poem in a few strokes. "Fan Wujiu, this poem is for you."

Fan Wujiu took the paper with trembling hands, staring excitedly at the sharp and incisive verses, feeling that his life was complete.

"Zhao guest wears a silk tassel, Wu hook sword shines like frost and snow. Silver saddle shines on white horse, swift as a shooting star."

"Kill one man in ten steps, leave no trace for a thousand miles. After the deed is done, dust off your clothes and leave, concealing your identity and name."

After Fan Wujiu finished reading, tears welled up in his eyes. "Your Highness, does this poem have a title?"

Li Chang'an said, "The Knight-Errant's Journey."

The second half of this poem contains too many allusions, making it complicated to explain. These four lines are enough to capture the spirit of Fan Wujiu.

Upon hearing these three words, all the grievances Fan Wujiu had suffered over the years welled up in his heart, and tears streamed down his face without him even realizing it.

"Your Highness, how can Fan Jin be worthy of the title of chivalrous hero!"

Li Chang'an said, "It is certainly unacceptable for a knight to break the law with martial arts, but Fan Wujiu only broke the law in anger because he had no other choice."

"In the end, you were also doing it for the sake of justice in the world. You truly deserve the title of a chivalrous hero!"

Fan Wujiu respectfully folded the paper and put it in his bosom. Then he knelt on one knee and said resolutely, "Your Highness, I, Fan Wujiu, am willing to serve you to the death!"

[Affection Level: 100 (Die-hard Fan)]

A scholar will die for one who understands him, and Fan Wujiu indeed reached a state of unwavering loyalty.

If possible, Li Chang'an would give him a chance to take the imperial examination.

As for Fan Wujiu's arrangements, Li Chang'an planned to keep him by his side as a bodyguard first, and then have Zhao Gao train him further.

In a year or two, when he returns to Kyoto, he will have his hair styled like an alpaca and become an informant for the Second Prince.

After Li Chang'an returned to the capital, things were bound to get peaceful. Planting seeds and laying traps around important figures was something he had to do.

He has already instructed the core members of the local network to search for women who resemble the Princess, but it remains to be seen whether the Crown Prince will dare to accept them.

After settling things in Jiangnan, Li Chang'an headed directly north to Danzhou and set off for Dadong Mountain.

Dadongshan stands isolated by the sea, resembling a jade sword piercing the sky. At its summit stands a Qingmiao Temple, which is said to be the most similar to a shrine.

The world worships temples, and both the Southern Qing and Northern Qi dynasties worship the same temple.

However, the religious atmosphere was stronger in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Grand Master Ku He was the leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

The Southern Qing Dynasty was founded on military strength, and its religious status was not as high as that of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The ascetics of the Qing Temple were all obedient to the imperial court.

In fact, Dadongshan was the site of a nuclear war, so it has the highest intensity of nuclear radiation. The jade discs of Dadongshan were also formed by high-temperature refining of rocks.

Humans have now adapted to nuclear radiation and even benefit from it. There are often legends of devout men and women who, lacking money for medical treatment, were cured in the Da Dong Shan area.

The primordial energy of this world is actually the residual nuclear radiation between heaven and earth, but ordinary martial artists cannot sense it.

Wu Zhu can sense nuclear radiation due to its structure, while Ku He has mastered some Western magic and can also sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Li Chang'an, who cultivates the Northern Darkness True Qi Technique, can also sense and absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The 10,000 steps leading to the mountaintop are bustling with people going up and down, a testament to the popularity of the Qing Temple on Dadong Mountain.

The Qing Temple on Mount Dadong covers a considerable area, but the buildings are somewhat old. There are many small temples scattered around the Qing Temple that provide accommodation for pilgrims.

Li Chang'an and his group paid a large sum of money for incense offerings and then began their quiet meditation at the Qing Temple on Dadong Mountain.

A month later.

As arranged by Li Chang'an, Duan Shui, disguised as Prince Yong, was also on his way to Da Dong Shan.

After the double entered Dongshan Road, he used the name of Prince Yong and made a grand entrance to Qingmiao.

The route that Li Chang'an reported to Emperor Qing included the Qing Temple at Mount Dadong.

At the entrance of the Fan family mansion in Danzhou sat a somewhat rustic-looking, well-off young man.

Fan Xian, who had been waiting for the Red-Armored Knight, was first greeted by the procession of Li Chang'an's double.

Ever since Prince Yong's entourage entered the city, it has become the focus of discussion in Danzhou.

"Prince Yong has come to Danzhou, but unfortunately he doesn't intend to stay long!"

"I heard that Your Highness is going to visit the Qing Temple on Mount Da Dong. I'm just passing through!"

"All the martial arts sects within a hundred miles of Danzhou have fled. Prince Yong's Shadow Guards are no pushovers!"

The news of Li Chang'an's travels had already spread, and Fan Xian had been paying close attention to it.

Fan Xian pondered for a while, then immediately ran to Wu Zhu's general store.

"Uncle, I want to go to Dadongshan!"

The world's strongest being, the robot Wu Zhu, is mechanically weaving a basket.

"Da Dongshan..."

He turned his neck and thought hard. "It seems to be not far away. Miss said... it's a good place."

Hearing that Wu Zhu had an impression of Da Dong Mountain, Fan Xian felt relieved and wanted to go and see Li Chang'an up close.

At this moment, Fan Xian was unaware that Wu Zhu was a top-tier fighter in this world.

However, he still had confidence in Wu Zhu's martial prowess, at least enough to ensure that he could escape with him.

"Uncle, come with me, I'm afraid it might be dangerous."

Upon hearing the word "danger," Wu Zhu immediately dropped the basket in his hand and picked up the iron rod that never rusted.

Wu Zhu instantly became alert, his killing intent palpable.

"Who posed a danger to you? I killed him!"

Upon hearing Wu Zhu's words, Fan Xian quickly waved his hand in denial, "It's not a real danger, but a potential danger."

Wu Zhu twisted his neck again. "The potential crisis must be resolved as soon as possible!"

Chapter 56 Wu Zhu: Even Grandmasters are just ants!

Fan Xian suddenly fell into deep thought. As a fellow time traveler, was Li Chang'an a potential threat?

If Li Chang'an dies, Fan Xian can continue copying the poems and classic works he didn't.

He could have Li Chang'an's renowned fame and immense wealth; it was simply too tempting.
