Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 123 I'm here to practice dual cultivation! The nun is currently
Su Qingqi was alone in the Detective Department, feeling uneasy and pacing back and forth. Guan Yunshu was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing, looking calm.

Su Qingqi couldn't help but tilt her head and ask, "Miss Guan, aren't you worried about Mr. Zhao?"

"Captain Su is a martial arts master and has already gone to the inner palace to help him. If Zhao Wumian gets into trouble even so, then even if you and I join in, it will be of no use."

"That being said..." Su Qingqi sat down at the table and poured herself a glass of water, but she couldn't drink it no matter how hard she tried. Her mind was in a mess at the moment. She rubbed her temples and asked as if to change the subject:

"How did Miss Guan get to know Master Zhao? From what I understand, you two have known each other for less than a month, and when he was in Jin, he spent most of his time with me and His Majesty."

Guan Yunshu tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying calmly, "He went to the Hequ Mine to teach Sixth Master a lesson, and I was preparing to buy coal at the time. He wanted to wipe out Qinfeng Village, so he gave me the pseudonym 'Wang Changzhi', and that's how we got to know each other."

The words were very concise, but Su Qingqi keenly perceived the key points, "Destroy Qinfeng Village?"

"Hmm?" Guan Yunshu opened his eyes, with a bit of doubt, crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his face, and then for some reason looked Su Qingqi up and down, and then said:

"If I said that Zhao Wumian had long wanted to wipe out Qinfeng Village, but the situation was critical at the time, so he turned around and used me...you wouldn't be obsessed with him, right?"

"Pada--" The water cup in Su Qingqi's hand fell on the table. She actually took it seriously... As early as in Hequ, Zhao Wumian had tried to find a way to wipe out Qinfeng Village.

Su Qingqi actually did not lie to Zhao Wumian. She meant it sincerely when she said she wanted to suppress the bandits. It was only because of Luo Chaoyan that she had put it on hold until now. In fact, she was thinking of going to the grassland in the future to kill Wu Ming and get her Qingming Sword back, and then suppress Qinfeng Village along the way.

But she never expected that Zhao Wumian had already done it for her.

Meeting a bosom friend who is even more capable than me, and who has done things that I have always wanted to do but have not dared to do... Su Qingqi couldn't explain this feeling, but she felt a little tender in her heart whenever she thought of Zhao Wumian.

When she thought of this, she realized the second half of Guan Yunshu's words. Her face subconsciously blushed and she shook her head slightly, "I'm only sixteen, and I still have two years before I can get married..."

"Then you just wait." Guan Yunshu closed her eyes again and said lightly, seeming unkind, but she has always been like this, and Su Qingqi is used to it.

Before he finished speaking, they heard something strange happening outside the house. The two women's expressions changed slightly. They went out to look and saw that the Queen's Mingfeng message tube was lighting up. Then, about a quarter of an hour later, a dense crowd of palace masters jumped out from behind the palace wall.

Su Qingqi's heart skipped a beat, it was obvious that something had happened to Zhao Wumian. Then she saw a constable flying into the Detective Department, recruiting manpower.

"Zhao Wumian sneaked into the palace with the intention of assassinating the queen. Now the queen is fine, but the thief was rescued from the palace, but he has not left the capital yet! Quick! Follow me to search all over the capital. If we can't arrest Zhao Wumian, we can't wear this official hat anymore!"

Zhao Wumian was rescued? But after Zhao Wumian came to the capital, only the Shen family and the Detective Department were running around... The two women looked at each other, and the answer popped up in their minds at the same time: the Shen family.

Under the pretext of searching for thieves, the two women were quickly invited into the Shen residence. Guan Yunshu wore a bamboo hat and a badge given to her by Su Qingqi hung around her waist, and temporarily became a female detective.

Led by the maid, Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu walked into Lady Canghua's boudoir. There was no smell of blood. When a figure was vaguely seen on the soft couch behind the screen, Su Qingqi's face changed and she walked quickly. Guan Yunshu pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, a little alert, and was half a step slower than Su Qingqi.

Walking past the screen and seeing Zhao Wumian covered in wounds, Su Qingqi's face turned pale instantly. However, she was not an ordinary woman after all. She turned to look at Lady Canghua, who was sitting at the table with blood on her hands and skirt, and asked, "Did Miss Shen save him?"

Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu had never seen Empress Canghua, and there was no portrait of Empress Canghua circulating in the world. Qi He then went to the side room to eavesdrop on what was going on, so as to avoid Guan Yunshu guessing Empress Canghua's true identity.

Lady Canghua was covered in Zhao Wumian's blood, but her expression remained normal. She said calmly:

"I have an appointment with Zhao Wumian, and I need him alive, so I sent the Shen family's master to rescue him. Although Constable Su is familiar with Zhao Wumian, he is still a member of the Detective Department. Don't do something like selling out your friends for fame."

Su Qingqi shook her head slightly and didn't respond. However, she couldn't help but walked to the couch, showing her back to Empress Canghua to check Zhao Wumian's injuries.

Zhao Wumian didn't suffer any fatal injuries, but he had severe internal injuries after fighting with Eunuch Lin for two moves, and his whole body was chopped by the guards from head to legs. It was impossible to say that his injuries were minor. Fortunately, Empress Canghua was willing to use medicine, and her medical skills were also quite good, so he saved his life.

Lady Canghua propped up her face with her small hands and glanced at Su Qingqi's back. The dim light sprinkled on her beautiful face, which still had a lot of blood on it, making it look indescribably weird and evil.

Just showing her her back casually shows how much Su Qingqi is worried about Zhao Wumian. In fact, if they were to practice dual cultivation, Su Qingqi would be obviously more suitable for Zhao Wumian than Qi He. After all, these two should be considered a loving couple.

Lady Canghua glanced at Su Qingqi's buttocks again. She was worried about Zhao Wumian, so she bent down to check his injuries. Her buttocks were naturally very prominent, and they made the constable's robe very tight. Even Lady Canghua couldn't help but praise her as a "gifted talent" for this curve.

At the age of sixteen, she has such a sweet face, and her expression is that of a pure and serious female warrior. What a contrast... If Su Qingqi had practiced the skills of the evil female practitioners in Benwo Hall, she would have become the Saint of Benwo Hall long ago.

However, Empress Canghua asked Qihe to practice dual cultivation with Zhao Wumian with the intention of tying Zhao Wumian to the Canghua Tower. Although Zhao Wumian kept mentioning "Mr. Jiao" when talking to her, she could see that this man was extremely responsible when it came to matters between men and women.

If Su Qingqi picks this peach and fails to get the position of the first wife, what will Canghua Tower use to seduce Zhao Wumian in the future?
While Queen Canghua was thinking, Guan Yunshu also walked in. She first looked at Queen Canghua coldly, her small hand still on the hilt of the sword. Even though Queen Canghua saved Zhao Wumian, Guan Yunshu did not dare to relax her vigilance at all.

Seeing Guan Yunshu's hostility, Lady Canghua remembered that Zhao Wumian had previously had conflicts with Canghua Tower. From her perspective, Canghua Tower and she were enemies. If she told him right after she woke up,

"Hey, this is Qi He, do you still remember her? She once offended you and you hung her on a tree for a long time. Now she is practicing with you to heal your wounds. She will be your wife in the future. As for why she appeared in the Shen Mansion, it depends on my true identity. I am Lady Cang Hua..."

Obviously, this could not be said, as now was not the time to tell Zhao Wumian her true identity. However, she came to the capital this time with only Qi He, a female disciple from Canghua Tower.

What should I do? This good opportunity to get closer to Zhao Wumian is going to be given to Su Qingqi or Guan Yunshu for no reason? What a joke.

But we can’t really let Zhao Wumian recuperate for half a month, right?

In half a month, the situation in the court changed dramatically, and Zhao Wumian would definitely have to go out and kill people. If he was not killed with such a seriously injured body, it would be a credit to Zhao Wumian's ancestors for having a wide network of contacts among the people below.

Could it be that she had to lift her skirt and mount the horse, with the sunflower facing the sun... This was definitely not possible. Lady Canghua's feelings for Zhao Wumian were not that good. She did not care much about the chastity of her subordinates, but she cared about her own.

So she thought about it for a moment, and then she felt that it was too hasty for her to act as the eldest wife at this moment, so it would be better for her to do a favor and take things step by step.

She said, "He is seriously injured. He needs at least half a month to recover before he can swing his sword. But the situation is critical right now. He can't afford to take his time to recover. I have a way to help him recover as soon as possible..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Qingqi sat on the blood-stained couch, and her small hand gently stroked Zhao Wumian's clean face, and whispered:
"From Qinfeng Village to Taiyuan, from Pingyang to the capital, less than half a month has passed, and he has already done so many things... Let him take a rest now. He is too tired, and he should rest for a while. We can't ask him to do everything."

As soon as these words were spoken, Empress Canghua's words were shattered and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

She was thinking about how to get more benefits from Zhao Wumian, but Su Qingqi just wanted Zhao Wumian to have a good rest... The winner was immediately clear. However, Lady Canghua was the leader of the evil sect, not a girl in love. After a brief pause, she continued to talk to herself:

"Our hall has a dual cultivation technique that nourishes yin and yang. If you practice it for a long time, it will greatly benefit your martial arts. The disadvantage is that it progresses slowly... but it is very effective for healing. As far as I know, our hall's bases usually have underground pleasure houses with various male and female pets. This is to prepare for unexpected events. If you get hurt, you can go to the dark room to practice dual cultivation and heal your wounds in time. And I just happen to know this technique."

As she spoke, Lady Canghua took out a secret book from her bosom and placed it on the table. She did not force Su Qingqi or Guan Yunshu to do so, but stood up and left, saying:

"Whether you want to use this dual cultivation technique to heal him is up to you two... Of course, based on my observation, both of you are virgins, and Zhao Wumian's primordial energy has not dissipated yet. The three of you are all good at martial arts. If you practice dual cultivation with three people, not only will it heal his wounds, it will also be extremely beneficial to your martial arts, and it will definitely allow the three of you to improve your martial arts by a large margin...

Zhao Wumian is now a top master. After this dual cultivation, he may even be able to become a half-step martial master."

After saying that, Lady Canghua turned around and left the room. "I'm going to take a shower first. This is my room. No one will come. There's no need to worry about the palace coming to search... You two can decide for yourselves."

Lady Canghua hoped that both women would not practice dual cultivation with Zhao Wumian, so as to give the position of the eldest wife to Canghua Lou... Anyway, she had given the secret book and naturally the favor as well. Whether Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu appreciated it or not was their business, but Zhao Wumian had to accept the favor, right?
Lady Canghua was quite satisfied with her decision. She left the room, closed the door, and went to take a bath in a good mood, leaving Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu staring at each other in the room.

The room was deathly silent, with only the occasional breathing sound of Zhao Wumian...it seemed as if Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu had stopped breathing.

One of them stood by the door holding a sword, and the other sat on the bed. They all looked a little stunned and thoughtful. In the end, Guan Yunshu spoke first:
"Zhao Wumian can't rest. Even if you ask him to rest and recover, he won't do as you wish... If there is news in Jin and Luo Chaoyan is in danger, he will definitely ride back to Pingyang with a knife in his hand as soon as possible."

What Guan Yunshu meant by this was... it would be better to practice dual cultivation with him.

How could Su Qingqi not know? Resting with a healthy body or resting with a seriously injured body, the former is definitely better. If this place is exposed and the masters of the Imperial Palace come to find the door, Zhao Wumian will also have the power to fight back, right?

Su Qingqi looked at the secret book on the table, pursed her lips, and was about to speak. She opened her mouth but stammered again, unable to utter a word. After a moment, she stammered, "Then who will practice dual cultivation with Master Zhao?"

This question was a complete waste of time. Guan Yunshu glanced at Su Qingqi as if she was an idiot. "I am a nun. What do you think?"

"Nuns can also return to secular life. In this critical moment, Miss Guan first broke the precepts and then went to Xiaoxitian to return to secular life... In the martial arts world, this kind of thing is also very common, right? I don't think Abbot Dongwen will blame her."

Dongwen will not blame? Guan Yunshu is the biological daughter of Abbot Dongwen. Although he is a monk without emotions, if he knew that Guan Yunshu had to give her body to Zhao Wumian because of her injuries, you can imagine whether Abbot Dongwen would punish Zhao Wumian.

But Chief Constable Su is in a similar situation. He is still fighting with Eunuch Lin in the palace, and he doesn't know if he can escape from the palace safely. Now his sister is practicing dual cultivation with Zhao Wumian. If he knew about this, wouldn't he kill Zhao Wumian?
Guan Yunshu shook his head, crossed his arms, and said calmly, "I don't like him, but you like him. It's that simple. Come on, I'll guard the door for you... Actually, this is not the first time I've done this. I also guarded the door for him and Luo Xiangzhu in the palace..."

As he spoke, Guan Yunshu gritted his teeth, as if he was upset by Zhao Wumian. Without waiting for Su Qingqi to refute, he left silently and disappeared without a trace.

Now Su Qingqi is the only candidate left.

She sat on the soft couch, her pretty face flushed to the point of bleeding, her expression extremely complicated, her small hands twisting the hem of her robe, her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

She didn't know whether she liked Zhao Wumian, but she definitely didn't hate him... She just didn't expect that her future with Zhao Wumian would develop in this situation.

Su Qingqi was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, and has the grace and tenderness of a water town girl.

If she and Zhao Wumian were really destined to be together, then rather than having to do it now, she would actually prefer to have a romantic relationship with Zhao Wumian and develop it slowly.

But she is also a woman of the world.

She remembered what Guan Yunshu had mentioned about Qinfeng Village just now, and turned her head to look at Zhao Wumian, looking at his sleeping face... This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Su Qingqi turned her head to look at the secret book on the table, her eyes gradually becoming firm and resolute.

It's just healing. Once Mr. Zhao recovers, I won't do this anymore...

How much has Master Zhao done in the past half month? He has gotten into all the life-threatening situations. The princess' ascension to the throne will certainly require his help.

The capital city was sealed off and the imperial guards were searching house to house. Dongyan couldn't just sit there and do nothing. It couldn't pin its hopes on an outsider like Miss Shen. Mr. Zhao couldn't wield his sword for half a month, so he was clearly a lamb to be slaughtered.

In public and private terms, I should have no reason to refuse...

An ordinary girl should get married at the age of fourteen. She is sixteen this year. In fact, according to the rules, the Su family should choose a husband for her next year. Now it is only half a year earlier.

And I'm doing it secretly, and Zhao Wumian doesn't know about it... I'll just keep it a secret from him after I heal his injuries.

Thinking of this, Su Qingqi felt a lot more relieved.

She stood up, picked up the dual cultivation secret book, and then remembered something. She opened the window and peeked outside the house... There was no one around, only the nun standing in the snow with her hands behind her back, her back to the house, with a detective commander badge hanging around her waist, looking as serious as if she was investigating a murder case in the house.

Su Qingqi's face turned red again for some reason, and she whispered, "Miss Guan, can you...can you hear the sound inside?"

Guan Yunshu looked back, his expression slightly stunned and a little aggrieved.

I've been guarding the door for both of you, and now you still complain that I'm eavesdropping?

Is there anyone who bullies nuns like this? After all, it’s bullying enough for a nun to come and guard the door for you two.

Guan Yunshu took a deep breath and walked away silently.

My mood was already not very good, and now I am even more irritable.

Su Qingqi finally felt relieved, and quietly closed the window, drew the curtains, and covered everything tightly, just like a young lady having an affair with her lover... In fact, it was almost the same.

Then she walked back to the bed and turned to look at Zhao Wumian, only to see that Zhao Wumian had woken up at some point and was looking at her sideways with a dazed look on his face, obviously having just woken up.

The two looked at each other.
