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

"The Langya Mountain base is located in the most secluded western mountains, more than a hundred miles away, isolated by mountains and rarely visited by people."

Li Chang'an then asked, "How many core members of the Luo Wang organization have been sent to various regions for training?"

Zhao Gao replied, "More than a thousand people have completed their training. There are still over two thousand people in the base, more than twelve hundred in Nanqing and more than eight hundred in Beiqi."

"After these people complete their intelligence training, they will return to their various strongholds and be under the unified command of Jing Ni."

"Once they arrive at their respective strongholds, the local networks will fund the development of these spies' abilities based on the talents Your Highness has identified."

Li Chang'an nodded in satisfaction. "Very good. The intelligence and training systems of the Luo Wang have finally been fully established."

Strong intelligence personnel are essential for the smooth operation of an intelligence organization; talent is the foundation of any organization.

After four years of strengthening its personnel, the net has finally been connected, and now it truly covers the whole world and penetrates every nook and cranny!

The intelligence system of Luo Wang is managed by Jing Ni, while the training base and Langya Pavilion are managed by Zhao Gao.

"Jingni, has the trade route from Wanshan Chamber of Commerce to Western Qin been opened up?"

Jingni replied, "Lord Zhao has already taken control of the Western Qin court, and all channels have been opened. The money and food needed for the Langya Mountain base can be supplied smoothly."

The Luowang network is thriving, and the two hidden troop bases in the Western Qin Kingdom and the Jiangnan Water Village have been established.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

At this moment, Jingni reported some unexpected news.

"Your Highness, Emperor Qing has decided to betroth Princess Yichen to Fan Xian, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Sinan."

"However, according to the information from the Sinan Marquis's residence, Fan Xian seems very resistant to coming to the capital."

Fan Xian had no choice but to go to the capital; his six fathers were waiting for him.

Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping had laid out a grand scheme, just waiting for him to take the stage. How could he not come?

It’s not his turn!

Chapter 62 Dragon Guard Manor! Xi Ren and Qing Wen's Passion!

Spring of the fourth year of the Qingli era.

Nanqing, Imperial Study.

Emperor Qing was in a very good mood because he saw the newly released list of masters of Langya Pavilion.

"His skill is profound and he keeps it hidden. He even frightened Si Gu Jian, who is also a Grandmaster, so he should be the leader of the four Grandmasters!"

"Fourth Master, listen to this! How well you put it!"

The same incident of Si Gu Jian retreating, when mentioned by Prince Yong, made it seem like a display of national power!

"Look at this new list, the top ten masters, my Daqing takes up half of them, that's more like it!"

Hong Sixiang continued his report, "After Prince Yong left the Western Qin Kingdom, he destroyed several gangs in the border prefectures and counties of the Northern Qi Kingdom, and the secret manuals he obtained were also presented to us."

"The Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo, led her team in a fierce battle against Prince Yong on the shores of the North Sea, resulting in casualties on both sides."

"To reduce casualties, His Highness Prince Yong ordered his men to sprinkle aphrodisiacs on Haitang Duoduo. The Holy Maiden of Northern Qi had no choice but to jump into the North Sea to counteract the effects of the drug, allowing the Shadow Guards to retreat calmly."

"His Highness Prince Yong has safely entered the borders of Daqing and will be able to return to the capital in less than ten days."

Emperor Qing's smile deepened, "Aphrodisiac! No poison of grade nine or above will work."

Using aphrodisiacs is a good idea; this kid is still as shameless as ever!

This encounter was destined to attract the attention of both countries, and neither Li Chang'an nor the Shadow Guard used their full strength.

Even now, the furious Haitang Duoduo still believes that Prince Yong is nothing more than a shameless eighth-rank martial artist.

Emperor Qing stood up, a rare occurrence for him, and looked at the map hanging up. "Four years have passed, and this kid is finally coming back."

"In the past four years, the Jianghu in Daqing has become much calmer, and the remnants of the fallen kingdom have been mostly killed."

Prince Yong has been ordered to garrison Wu, and has been stationed there in Northern Qi!

"The lawless Li Chang'an goes into enemy territory without even asking me for permission!"

Hong Sixiang said truthfully, "The affairs of the martial world are handled in the martial world. His Highness Prince Yong is dealing with the martial world forces of Northern Qi, so it is not considered a violation of the rules."

Emperor Qing said in a deep voice, "Prince Yong's Shadow Guard is an elite force, and it is most suitable to deal with the Jianghu forces of Northern Qi and Dongyi City."

"I wish to retain Prince Yong's power to suppress bandits within the martial world and deal with Tianyi Dao and Sigu Jian from the outside!"

"You shall arrange for the inner court to carve a large seal, and carve the four characters 'Guardian of the Dragon and Suppress the Martial' as the seal of Prince Yong."

Upon hearing that Emperor Qing wanted to have an official seal made, the perceptive Hong Sixiang asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, are you going to set up a special office for Prince Yong?"

Emperor Qing nodded and said, "That's right. His Shadow Guards can't just be his bodyguards; they must protect me and the Qing imperial family."

"Find a good place outside the city, and I will grant it to build the Dragon Guard Manor. The Censorate will monitor all officials in the land, and the Dragon Guard Manor will monitor the martial arts world."

Although Emperor Qing had a smile on his face, the shrewd Hong Sixiang had already understood the implied meaning.

The Dragon Guardian Manor has two powers. One of them is what Prince Yong has been doing for the past few years: to suppress martial arts forces that do not submit to the imperial court.

Secondly, they can serve as high-ranking bodyguards for the imperial court. If there is any need to deploy experts, the Shadow Guards of the Dragon Guard Manor can also be deployed in an emergency.

Although Emperor Qing intended to use the Shadow Guards for free, Hong Sixiang believed that Prince Yong was the one who actually benefited.

After all, that "Dragon Guardian and Martial Suppressor" seal is a real authority to kill!

When Li Chang'an returned to the capital, he did not make a big fuss.

The people of Kyoto had increasingly mixed feelings about Li Chang'an. They had previously admired his status in the literary world, but later they feared his killing spree.

Overall, this perception is positive, with much more reverence than four years ago. Prince Yong is no longer a literary mascot, but a sharp blade in His Majesty's hand.

Having received prior notice, Fan Ruoruo and her brother were already waiting at the city gate. Li Chang'an saw the graceful Fan Ruoruo from afar.

Name: Fan Ruoruo

Age: 14 years old

Realm: Fifth Grade

Talents: Excellent memory (rank 5), medical skills (rank 7), firearms skills (rank 8)

Abilities: Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting (eighth grade); poetry, lyrics, and prose (eighth grade); medicine (seventh grade).

Emotion: 100

With her exceptional memory, Fan Ruoruo's abilities improved rapidly, earning her the reputation of being the most talented woman in Kyoto.

On the beauty list of Langya Pavilion controlled by Li Chang'an, Fan Ruoruo ranked third and Lin Wan'er ranked fourth.

When Fan Ruoruo was eight years old, Li Chang'an began teaching her martial arts, mainly focusing on body techniques and palm techniques.

After all, Fan Ruoruo will be a flexible and mobile sniper in the future.

Behind Fan Ruoruo stood the increasingly beautiful and charming Xiren and Qingwen.

Name: Xiren

Age: 21 years old

Realm: Lower Ninth Rank

Talents: Swordsmanship (Ninth Rank), Musical Composition (Sixth Rank)

Abilities: Singing (Rank 9), Espionage (Rank 6), Assassination (Rank 6), Poetry (Rank 6), Tracking (Rank 6)

Emotional level: 100 (Die-hard fan)

Xi Ren and Qing Wen both possess exceptional swordsmanship talent, and with the aid of treasured manuals, they have both reached the ninth rank.

Li Chang'an felt somewhat emotional, as he did not take his mother on any travels in order to ensure she received better care.

The current Xiren and Qingwen are much more mature than Fan Ruoruo, possessing both beauty and charm, making them a truly stunning pair.

Name: Qingwen

Age: 21 years old

Realm: Lower Ninth Rank

Talents: Kendo (Ninth Rank), Vocal Performance (Sixth Rank)

Abilities: Playing the flute (rank 9), intelligence gathering (rank 6), assassination (rank 6), seduction (rank 6), tracking (rank 6)

Emotional level: 100 (Die-hard fan)

Having mastered the art of seduction, Qingwen gazed at Li Chang'an from afar with eyes that seemed to overflow with desire.

"Ruoruo, Xiren, Qingwen, get in the carriage quickly!"

At Li Chang'an's invitation, Fan Ruoruo and two maids boarded Li Chang'an's carriage.

"Brother-in-law! I want to get on the bus too!"

Li Chang'an said to the expectant Fan Sizhe, "This car is not suitable for children. You should take your own car!"

As soon as the carriage curtain was closed, Fan Ruoruo threw herself into Li Chang'an's arms, "Your Highness, you're finally back!"

Throughout the journey, Fan Ruoruo chattered incessantly in Li Chang'an's arms, eager to share everything that happened in the capital with him.

In fact, Li Chang'an was well-informed and knew most things very well.
