Chapter 62: Guarding Dragon Villa! Xiren and Qingwen's passion!
Spring of the fourth year of the Qingli period.

Nanqing, Imperial Study.

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

"He has profound skills, but he keeps them hidden. He scared away Si Gu Jian, who is also a Grandmaster. He must be the leader of the Four Grandmasters!"

"Si Xiang, listen to what these words say!

The same thing about Si Gu Jian's retreat, when Prince Yong said it, it seemed to enhance our country's prestige!"

"Look at this new list. Among the top ten masters, Daqing occupies half of them. That's pretty good!"

Hong Sixiang continued to report, "After Prince Yong left Western Qin, he destroyed several gangs in the border states of Northern Qi and presented the secret books he had seized."

"The Saintess of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo, led a fierce battle with His Royal Highness Prince Yong on the shore of the North Sea. Both sides suffered casualties."

"In order to reduce casualties, His Royal Highness Prince Yong ordered people to sprinkle aphrodisiac on Haitang Duoduo. The Saint of Northern Qi had to jump into the North Sea to remove the effects of the drug, and the Shadow Secret Guards retreated calmly."

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

Emperor Qing's smile deepened, "Aphrodisiac! Poisons above the ninth grade are useless.

Using aphrodisiac is a good idea, but this guy is still so shameless!"

This encounter was bound to attract the attention of both countries, and neither Li Changan nor the Shadow Secret Guards used their full strength.

The furious Haitang Duoduo still believes that Prince Yong is just a shameless eighth-rank warrior.

Emperor Qing stood up for a rare moment and looked at the hanging map. "It's been four years, and this kid is finally coming back."

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

Prince Yong was ordered to suppress Wu, and he went to Northern Qi!"

"The lawless Li Changan, he went into the enemy's territory without asking for my permission!"

Hong Sixiang said truthfully, "Martial arts should be handled by the martial arts world. His Royal Highness Prince Yong is dealing with the martial arts forces of Northern Qi, so it is not considered breaking the rules."

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

"I want to retain Prince Yong's power to suppress the martial arts under the imperial order, so that he can suppress the bandits at home and deal with Tianyi Dao and Si Gu Jian externally!"

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

Upon hearing that Emperor Qing wanted to make a seal, the sensitive Hong Sixiang asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, are you going to open a special office for His Royal Highness Prince Yong?"

Emperor Qing nodded and said, "Yes, his Shadow Secret Guards cannot just be his bodyguards. They must protect me and the Daqing Imperial Family."

"You find a good place outside the city. I will grant him the right to build the Hulong Villa. The Inspection Office will monitor the officials of the country, and the Hulong Villa will monitor the martial arts world."

Although Emperor Qing had a smile on his face, the shrewd Hong Sixiang had already heard the hidden meaning behind his words.

The Hulong Villa has two functions and powers. One of them is what Prince Yong has been doing in recent years, which is to suppress the martial arts and kill the underworld forces that disobey the court.

Secondly, as a senior bodyguard of the imperial court, if there is any need to mobilize experts, the Shadow Guards of Huolong Villa can also respond to emergencies.

Although Emperor Qing wanted to get the Shadow Secret Guards for free, Hong Sixiang believed that Prince Yong was the one who benefited the most.

After all, the big seal of 'Protecting Dragons and Suppressing Martial Arts' is the real power to kill people!
When Li Changan returned to Kyoto, he did not make a big fanfare.

The people of Kyoto had increasingly complicated feelings towards Li Changan. They used to admire his status in the literary world, but later they feared his killing tendency.

This perception is generally positive, with a lot more awe than four years ago. Prince Yong is no longer a mascot of the literary world, but a sharp blade in the hands of His Majesty.

Fan Ruoruo and her brother, who had received the news in advance, had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. Li Changan saw the graceful Fan Ruoruo from a distance.

Name: Fan Ruoruo
Age: 14 years old

Realm: Fifth level

Talents: Memory (fifth grade), Medical Skills (seventh grade), Firearms (eighth grade)

Abilities: calligraphy and painting (eighth rank), poetry and songs (eighth rank), medical skills (seventh rank)

Emotion: 100
With the bonus of her gift for memory, Fan Ruoruo's abilities improved rapidly, and she already had the reputation of being the most talented woman in Kyoto.

On the list of beauties in Langya Pavilion controlled by Li Changan, Fan Ruoruo ranked third and Lin Wan'er ranked fourth.

When Fan Ruoruo was eight years old, Li Changan began to teach her martial arts, mainly focusing on body movements and palm techniques.

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

Behind Fan Ruoruo stood the increasingly beautiful Xiren and Qingwen.

Age: 21 years old

Realm: Ninth Rank Lower
Talents: Sword (9th rank), Song Fu (6th rank)

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

Sentiment: 100 (die-hard)
Xiren and Qingwen have extremely high talents in swordsmanship. With the help of the treasured secret manuals, they have both entered the ninth level.

Li Changan felt a little emotional. In order to take better care of his mother, Li Changan did not take them on a trip.

Compared with Fan Ruoruo, Xiren and Qingwen are now more mature. They have both beauty and charm. They are simply a pair of beauties.

Name: Qingwen

Age: 21 years old

Realm: Ninth Rank Lower
Talents: Kendo (9th grade), Vocal Music (6th grade)

Abilities: Flute Playing (9th Rank), Espionage (6th Rank), Assassination (6th Rank), Charm (6th Rank), Tracking (6th Rank)

Sentiment: 100 (die-hard)
Qingwen, who had practiced the art of charm, looked at Li Changan from afar with eyes that seemed to wish tears could drip out of her eyes.

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

At Li Changan's invitation, Fan Ruoruo and two maids got into Li Changan's carriage.

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

Li Changan said to Fan Sizhe who was staring at him eagerly, "This car is not suitable for children. You should take your own car!"

As soon as the curtains were closed, Fan Ruoruo threw herself into Li Changan's arms, "Your Highness, you are finally back!"

Along the way, Fan Ruoruo chattered non-stop in Li Changan's arms, wishing she could share everything about Kyoto with Li Changan.

In fact, Li Changan is well-informed and knows most things very well.

"Your Highness, Princess Yichen doesn't seem to want to marry Fan Xian. The last time she came to the palace, she even asked when you would be back."

Lin Wan'er's mind is now full of Li Changan, so how could she be willing to marry someone else?

After dinner, Li Changan saw off the reluctant Fan Ruoruo siblings, and chatted with Concubine Liu until midnight before returning to his room.

The room was misty, and hot water was already prepared in the oversized bathtub.

Xiren and Qingwen closed the door and stood coquettishly behind Li Changan, "Your Highness, take a bath and rest."

Li Changan turned around and found that the two women had red faces. "Change my clothes and help me take a bath."

A hint of shyness and expectation flashed across the two women's identical beautiful faces. "Yes, Your Highness."

Xiren and Qingwen took off their clothes and served Li Changan, just like they did four years ago.

Qingwen was serving him, and Li Changan gently stroked her beautiful red lips.

Xiren, who was clinging closely to Li Changan, was soothing his back.

These two passions made Li Changan feel at ease. After years of running around, he could finally relax.

The two beautiful maids who had been together since childhood had their hearts beating wildly and their eyes were hazy.

After a long time, Li Changan lifted Qingwen's tired chin and stared into her intoxicated eyes.

"You're such a smooth-talking girl, you're already this old."

Li Changan held her slender but strong waist, causing her to tremble instantly, "Your Highness."

Li Changan gently picked up Qingwen and placed her steadily on the edge of the bathtub.

"Little greedy cat, you fell down before I even used any strength."

Qingwen let out a seductive hum from her throat, "I am willing to die for your Highness..."

Waves splashed in the bathtub, rhythmically hitting the edge of the bathtub, releasing cheers of joy.
