After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 56: Little Shoes
In the heavy rain, Fu Qiwen, who had left the palace, rushed back to the headquarters of Tianjin Guard.

As soon as he entered the hall, the pacification envoy Yu Jin immediately stood up to greet him, but Fu Qiwen just waved his hand and walked straight to Li Musheng, bowing and saying:

"I have met His Highness."

Seeing this scene, Yu Jin had no idea what was happening. After he came to his senses, he hurried to Fu Qiwen and saluted Li Musheng.

"Your Majesty has confirmed the Eighth Prince's identity, but due to his martial arts retreat, he is unable to summon you for the time being. I have specially ordered this minister to handle the next steps."

Fu Qiwen spoke slowly, holding the bright yellow scroll in his hand.

On the way back, he had roughly read the contents of the scroll and was already aware of all the arrangements that Emperor Yuanwu had made for the eighth prince in front of him.

"Eighth Prince?"

Li Musheng, however, heard the ambiguity in Fu Qiwen's words.

Why did he suddenly get ranked one place lower?

Fu Qiwen remained calm in response and then repeated Emperor Yuanwu's explanation to Li Musheng.

"I see. The Eighth Prince is the Eighth Prince."

Li Musheng waved his hand. He didn't take this matter seriously. He just asked this question subconsciously.

Fu Qiwen glanced at Li Musheng and did not see any dissatisfaction or other emotions on his face. He still looked calm and casual.

Even when he learned that his identity as a prince was recognized by Emperor Yuanwu, he maintained the same attitude, neither surprised nor happy.

Fu Qiwen narrowed his eyes slightly and continued:
"His Majesty has selected a residence for Your Highness on Suzaku Street. However, since it has not yet been renovated and maids and servants need to be selected for guarding, Your Highness cannot move in at the moment. For the next period of time, Your Highness is requested to stay at the Tianjin Guard's headquarters."

Hearing this, Li Musheng glanced around and was quite satisfied with the environment here. He nodded:

"no problem."

However, he thought about it, then looked at Fu Qiwen and asked:

"Besides this, are there any other benefits?"

Fu Qiwen's eyelids twitched slightly, and he bowed and said:
"His Majesty, sympathizing with your past hardships, has bestowed upon you a generous gift of gold, silver, and other valuables, which will be given to you along with your new residence in the future."

Then, he paused for a moment and said:
"In addition, His Majesty has selected three good teachers for Your Highness."

"One is Zhang Song, Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites; one is Guo Zhenang, a military commander, General Wu'an; and the last one is Master Xuanyi, Deputy Master of Tianwu Tower."

"Of these three, one is profoundly learned, one has outstanding military achievements, and one is proficient in martial arts. They will surely be of great benefit to Your Highness."

However, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows and said with disdain:

"Then I really thank you."

He glanced at Fu Qiwen and waved his hand:

"Gold, silver, and a mansion are all fine, but I don't need any of those good teachers."

"Besides, isn't General Wu'an the Second Prince's man? Are you sure he will teach people well?"

Hearing this, Fu Qiwen frowned deeply on his forehead and looked at Li Musheng in surprise, as if he didn't expect that he knew the relationship behind General Wu'an.

But soon, he shook his head and said:
"This matter is not for me to decide. If Your Highness is not happy, we can discuss it after His Majesty comes out of seclusion." But at this moment, Li Musheng touched his chin and suddenly said:
"Forget it. When I'm free, I'll meet the three of them."

The reason why Li Musheng changed his mind was naturally not because he really wanted the three people to teach him.

Instead, he felt that since these three people were chosen by Emperor Yuanwu as good teachers, they should have some extraordinary abilities and insights, and he wanted to ask them about matters related to the transcendence of martial arts.

If there is any gain, it will naturally be a pleasant surprise. If not... of course all three of them will be dismissed for "not even knowing this".

In addition, Tianwu Tower is an institution used by the imperial court to recruit people from the martial arts world. There are many people from the martial arts world gathered there, which is also a good channel to obtain information. It is not a bad thing to contact them.

Hearing that Li Musheng agreed, Fu Qiwen seemed a little surprised.

After all, the other party didn't even take him seriously, so he really didn't believe that the Eighth Prince would look down on those three.

However, he didn't say much. His eyes moved slightly and he bowed to Li Musheng and said:
"The five kingdoms are now divided and the Jianghu is in chaos. The court is in need of talents. If Your Highness is interested in making great contributions to the Great Li, why not try to handle some affairs first and let His Majesty see your ability? He may then entrust you with important tasks."

Hearing this, Li Musheng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Fu Qiwen.

It was said so seriously, but the turn of events was so abrupt that I thought it was an NPC assigning tasks.

However, Li Musheng did not refuse directly, but asked thoughtfully:
"what do you want to do?"

Logically speaking, even though Fu Qiwen was in charge of the Tianjin Guard and had great power in the entire Dali court, it was impossible for him to issue a task to a prince like him.

This was most likely a secret hint from Emperor Yuanwu. If the task was relatively easy, he wouldn't have much reason to refuse.

After all, the money and the house have been taken, so it is reasonable to help with some work.

At this time, Fu Qiwen lowered his eyebrows and eyes and was silent for a while, then suddenly said slowly:
"Your Highness must have heard of Luoshen Peak, one of the four great sects in the martial arts world."

Hearing this, Li Musheng raised his eyebrows and said:

"What do you mean? Could it be that what you asked me to do is related to the Falling God Peak?"

Fu Qiwen nodded and said:
"Your Highness, I ask you to destroy the Falling God Peak."

Li Musheng: ...

At this time, Fu Qiwen was thinking that Emperor Yuanwu asked him to find a difficult task for Li Musheng to do, but he did not say anything specific.

For him, the most difficult task at hand right now is to annihilate Luoshen Peak. The request he made to the Eighth Prince in front of him should naturally be within this scope.

"Since you want to temper your temper, why not just do it in one go."

Fu Qiwen narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Musheng, who had a strange look on his face.

Fu Qiwen is a man of extraordinary talent in martial arts and great ability. He has always been strict with himself, dedicated to his duties, and does not form cliques or engage in personal gain. He is loyal to the Dali court. This is also an important reason why Emperor Yuanwu trusted him very much and let him take charge of the Tianjin Guard.

But this does not mean that Fu Qiwen is not a person without temper. It is the first time in his life that he, the commander of Tianjin Guard, is despised by others. This feeling is not pleasant when you think about it carefully, so don't blame him for giving others a hard time for the first time.

Of course, he thought Li Musheng would definitely refuse.

After all, he couldn't do it himself, and only because Emperor Yuanwu asked for it did he bite the bullet and include it in Tianjin Guard's future plans.

But he still has no idea about it and doesn't dare to take any action.
