Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 200: Canghua Returns
Li Jingnan and Ning Zhongxia broke into Zhaoyu. This was a serious matter, but the people in the capital were unaware of it. They only saw a group of detectives running towards the Detective Department like locusts, and they didn't know what had happened until information came that Zhao Wumian had captured Li Jingnan alive.

The people in the city did not see this confrontation. They all sighed and gathered together to chat about the matter.

"Alas... Zhao Wumian and the Five Mountains, I wonder how exciting their fight would be... It's a pity that I can't see it."

"Didn't Zhao Wumian communicate with the bridge of heaven and earth? How could he capture Li Jingnan, one of the former Five Mountains? Are you kidding me?"

"Maybe they joined forces with a large group of imperial masters to capture him..."

"If Wu Kui is so easy to capture, why don't you lead a few hundred people to try?"

"Oh, there is no false reputation. If Zhao Wumian had arrested Li Jingnan on his first day in the underworld, then we would have to be suspicious. But how many times has Zhao Wumian's name appeared around the end of the year? My ears are so tired of hearing it."

"What a pity! If Li Jingnan also had a Wu Kui plaque, then Zhao Wumian's action alone would be enough to make him the tenth Wu Kui, right?"

"The plaque of the martial arts champion of the sword champion was removed. The imperial court said that anyone who could make merit or defeat the sword champion would be awarded the title of martial arts champion... and the removal of the plaque of the sword champion and martial arts champion was inextricably linked to Zhao Wumian. So if Zhao Wumian became the martial arts champion without defeating the sword champion, the martial arts world would probably not recognize him."

"That's right... Zhao Wumian also uses a knife, right? I wonder how his knife skills compare to the former knife master's 'The Difficult Road to Shu'."

"I heard that the sword technique he used was from Taixuan Palace..."

"Hiss...be careful with your words."

People in the streets and alleys of the capital were talking about this matter. Gossips echoed quietly among a colorful building. On the third floor, the windows were wide open, and a red curtain swayed in the wind, occasionally floating out of the window.

Shen Xiangge sat by the window, gazing with her beautiful eyes at the pedestrians who were talking on the street. She said nothing, but just picked up her glass and drank by herself.

Even the head of Huanzhen Pavilion didn't know her real identity, so she had been hiding her head during Huanzhen Pavilion's operation for fear of being exposed. Of course, during the time when Huanzhen Pavilion was lurking in the capital, she was also investigating the purpose of Huanzhen Pavilion's visit.

But before they found out that they came to Beijing for Song Yun, they did find some clues about Zhan Yan's hairpin.

After a glass of wine, Qi He respectfully poured her another glass and whispered:
“Even if Pingqiu had more courage, they would not dare to provoke Taixuan Palace. However, if Zhan Yan’s hairpin is really in the hands of Taixuan Palace, it is reasonable for them to take risks for the Four Glazed Jades.”

Pingqiu Association is the largest boat gang in Suzhou area, but Shen Xiangge naturally could not be unaware of its branch identity. However, because Pingqiu Association is not under the jurisdiction of Canghua Tower, she did not know about it until Taixuan Palace massacred all members of Pingqiu Association.

Although the entire Huanzhen Pavilion is committed to doing whatever it wants, it is not without division of responsibilities and powers. It is divided into three parts, namely the sect, Benwo Hall and Canghua Tower.

Our sect is superior to Benwo Hall and Canghua Tower. Those who can work in our sect are all the best who have stood out from Benwo Hall and Canghua Tower, or they are some heroes from the martial arts world who are recruited here and they only take orders from the master of Huanzhen Pavilion.

Chou Manjiang, Li Jingnan, and Ning Zhongxia are all from our sect.

They usually don’t reveal any information about what missions they are carrying out unless they are cooperating with Honwo Hall and Canghua Tower. It is extremely secretive... In the eyes of the imperial court, our sect is Luo Chaoyan’s private army.

Although Benwotang is a group of scumbags, they can also do serious work. Their main job is to open brothels, gambling houses and other businesses everywhere to make money, resources and intelligence...So treasures like the Four Colored Glaze Jades are also what Benwotang is looking for.

As for Canghua Tower, it is considered the face of Huanzhen Pavilion, and is specifically responsible for making friends and accumulating reputation for Huanzhen Pavilion. Canghua Ling is an example.

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

The purpose of establishing Huanzhen Pavilion is to defeat Wugong Mountain from all aspects.

But whether or not they can be defeated depends on the sect's strength and its reputation in the martial arts world... No matter which aspects, Huanzhen Pavilion does not want to lose to Wugong Mountain.

Benwotang is responsible for the 'strength of the sect', while Canghualou is responsible for the 'reputation in the martial arts world'.

In addition, Canghualou would also recruit disciples, open brothels to make money and so on... Although the powers were divided in this way, there were always discrepancies in the details over the years.

The Pingqiu Association is a branch of the Honwo Hall and has been developing secretly for more than ten years.

Therefore, the entire Pingqiu family would be massacred, and Shen Xiangge was quite happy about it from a selfish point of view.

But we have to find out why Pingqiu would offend Taixuan Palace... In fact, we have already found out. It was because he stole Xiao Yuanmu's Zhan Yan hairpin.

Shen Xiangge put down the wine glass, propped up her chin with her small hand, and tilted her head slightly to look at the red silk curtain fluttering in the wind outside the window. The black hair behind her waist followed the rhythm of the silk curtain and the trajectory of the wind, and a few strands of hair also fluttered outside the window.

Qi He also looked out the window, thought for a moment, and asked, "The Tu Pingqiu meeting, the rumor is that it's a mother-daughter affair... a woman with a little girl who looks less than twelve years old, when did Xiao Yuanmu have a daughter?"

Shen Xiangge did not look away, but smiled faintly, "Do you know that woman is Xiao Yuanmu?"

Qi He blinked, and said uncertainly, "If it's not Xiao Yuanmu, then it must be another master from Taixuan Palace?"

"Who knows? I wasn't there, so this is Zhao Wumian's problem to worry about."

Speaking of Zhao Wumian, Qi He couldn't help but roll his eyes. The Empress was such a powerful figure that no man in the world could be worthy of her. But in order to win over a mere Zhao Wumian, she not only hugged him closely, but also disguised herself as his lover, and only disguised herself in front of her... It made him even more angry.

Her tone was a little unhappy, "Can we really wait for him here?"

"Tian Wenjing and Cekai haven't been rescued yet, so he must be worried. He will go to Longji Town, which is near Guangming Gate in the south of the city."

Shen Xiangge raised his hand and gently pressed down his hair that was dancing in the wind. Before he finished speaking, he saw a young man in a white robe sitting on a handsome white horse on the street with a sword across his waist.

She paused, then put on a half-smile, and when the young man in white robe rode up to the bottom of Xiulou, she casually threw down her handkerchief.

The light blue handkerchief fluttered in the wind, just right to brush Zhao Wumian's face.

Zhao Wumian raised his hand and held the handkerchief, then looked up. The beauty in the red dress was sitting by the window. Her small hands gently pulled the red silk curtain, lightly covering the lower half of her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be able to speak and smiled. She lowered her eyes and looked at Zhao Wumian, without saying a word, just looking at her.

Maybe it was because the faint fragrance of the handkerchief was carried to his nose by the wind, but Zhao Wumian suddenly felt that the world was more fragrant.

He waved at Shen Xiangge and shouted, "I'm going to Longji Town. Your brother might be there. Do you want to come with me?"

This is a joke.

Zhao Wumian came to Longji Town this time not just to check out the situation, he was not that free.

Tong Congdao said he escaped, but no one knows whether he actually escaped or not.

If we could kill him right here, it would be all over and he wouldn't cause trouble again.

Therefore, Zhao Wumian's trip was actually a 'bait'... Chief Constable Su would follow him ten miles behind.

Chief Constable Su estimated that with Zhao Wumian's current strength, it would be impossible for him to defeat Tong Congdao, but it would be no problem for him to hold out for half a quarter of an hour and set off fireworks to send a message.

This is also the reason why Guan Yunshu and Su Qingqi were not allowed to come.

Shen Xiangge glanced at the white horse Zhao Wumian was riding, and his voice came faintly, "You are riding Miss Su's White Lady, right? You use her horse to carry me? Do you not cherish Miss Su? Or do you not respect me?"

Zhao Wumian's horse has not yet been sent to the capital.

The two talked across the air.

A man was riding a horse, walking on the street.

A man sat in front of the window, looking down from above.

“Does it matter whose horse you use?”

"If you want to give me a gift, then the gift should only be for me. Similarly, if you want to ride on the same horse with me, then the horse should only carry me..." Shen Xiangge paused slightly, lowered his eyes and glanced at Zhao Wumian, then smiled:

"But I won't mind if I give you one more ride."

"With your status, you still can't find a horse?"

"If you continue to chat with me and waste my time, and cause someone to be killed, it will only be your conscience that will bother you."

Shen Xiangge let go of the red silk curtain and retracted his gaze. From Zhao Wumian's angle, he could only barely see her delicate chin and a small part of her profile.

Zhao Wumian raised the handkerchief in his hand, "Didn't you throw the handkerchief to remind me that you were here? And now you think I am chatting with you?"

"Yes."

"So unreasonable?"

"Because I'm in a bad mood."

"Why? Because my brother hasn't been rescued yet?" Zhao Wumian raised his head and looked at Shen Xiangge's delicate profile.

Shen Xiangge poked her little face out again, her arms resting on the window sill, her chin resting on her forearms, her posture relaxed and lazy.

"Of course it's because I heard from my aunt that you go to see the Imperial Master every midnight... If you have that time, why don't you come to see me?"

Qi He, who had been listening silently, immediately became angry upon hearing this. He leaned out from the side and shouted at Zhao Wumian, "Lecher! It's not enough that you have the young lady, you even dare to seduce the Imperial Master!?"

Zhao Wumian wanted to explain a few words. He just realized that Zi Yi was hiding something from him, and he had some bad suspicions in his heart, so he wanted to accompany her. But since Qi He was there too, he had to pretend to be lovers with Shen Xiangge... He really didn't have time now.

Zhao Wumian raised his hand and threw it lightly, and the handkerchief floated into the window again under the wrapping of his inner breath.

Shen Xiangge took it and looked down. Zhao Wumian had already ridden away. His voice came from the air, "I'll buy you some grapefruit when I come back."

Shen Xiangge was stunned for a moment, and it was probably the first time that such a level of confusion and astonishment appeared on her charming face.

After a few seconds, she came to her senses, propped herself up on the window sill with both hands, leaned out, and shouted at Zhao Wumian, "Where are you going to buy grapefruit at this time of year!?"

The passers-by on the street all looked up, and Zhao Wumian had already ridden out of the capital.

Shen Xiangge watched his back disappear at the city gate. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and sat back in his original position, cursing with a smile.

"Where can I buy grapefruit at this time of year...idiot."

With the speed of Bai Niangzi's horse, Zhao Wumian arrived at Longji Town in less than an hour.

As they got closer, the horse's speed gradually slowed down, and they saw black smoke rising from Longji Town, the sky was full of red, and the surrounding buildings were all on fire.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the not-so-wide street, and judging by their clothes, they were not the ones he brought with him.

The wounds on the corpses had almost dried up, and the blood stained the long street.

And in the middle of the street, shouting could be heard.

"Shen Lian! Didn't you come here to save these two people? If you dare to come forward again, your son will lose his head!"

"Damn Qin Haoxuan! You are a local tyrant in Chu, colluding with Huanzhen Pavilion is fine, but now you are holding hostages. Can you still be considered a top figure!?"

"No matter how big the sky or the earth is, life is not as important as it is!"

Zhao Wumian frowned slightly, a little surprised, but a little surprised that Chou Manjiang was so honest... Are Shen Cekai and Tian Wenjing really imprisoned here?

He dismounted and prepared to sneak over to see what was going on.

He patted Bai Niangzi's belly and said, "Don't let anyone take you away, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Miss Su. If you encounter danger, remember to call out... I won't tie you up, so that you can escape if you encounter danger."

White Snake rolled her eyes in a very human way, thinking to herself, what kind of stupid horse am I? I'm already two years old!

Zhao Wumian raised his hand to grasp the hilt of his sword, avoided the fire, followed the sound, passed through several houses, and saw corpses piled on the ground along the way. There were also many people holding bows and crossbows... They were obviously crossbowmen lying in ambush in the dark.

However, those who can be sent to rescue are all experts, so they will not be ambushed in such a place. But it can also be seen how fierce the battle here is.

After passing through the alley, I saw a middle-aged man in a courtyard with his back against the wall to prevent himself from being surrounded. He clamped Shen Cekai's throat with one hand and pointed a long knife in front of him.

Shen Cekai's eyes were closed and he was still unconscious.

Shen Lian and a group of constables held weapons and looked at the middle-aged man fiercely. In the crowd, Tian Wenjing was also unconscious, but had been rescued. A person who seemed to be a team doctor was taking his pulse.

Qin Haoxuan cursed: "I was also framed by Huanzhen Pavilion. They suddenly came to me this morning and wanted to pay me to escort the convoy... Who the hell knew that there were two young masters from aristocratic families in the box!?"

"You know this matter is a hot potato, but you still refuse to let go. I'm afraid Huanzhen Pavilion has promised you some conditions that you cannot refuse?" Shen Lian smiled coldly.

Qin Haoxuan paused, but Shen Lian continued, "You only found out this morning that the two young masters were with you, but when you saw us approaching and there was no time to retreat, you wanted to fight to the death?"

“Damn, I was chosen by Huanzhen Pavilion!” Qin Haoxuan said angrily: “That’s the Nine Bells. If I can comprehend it, I might be able to become the martial arts champion…”

call out----

At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air whizzed past everyone's ears.

Pfft————

The next moment, a bloody hole suddenly appeared on Qin Haoxuan's chest, and then a hole appeared on the stone wall behind Qin Haoxuan. Spider-web-like cracks spread around along the hole, and then the stone wall collapsed with a loud bang.

Everyone was shocked.

"Who is this expert?!" Shen Lian turned around quickly, but saw nothing except the sky full of fire.

Not to mention Shen Lian, even Zhao Wumian could only vaguely see that the hidden weapon seemed to be just an ordinary stone... But this was not done by him, it was definitely done by someone else.

Suddenly, he vaguely sensed someone behind him, and immediately drew his sword from his waist.

Clang——a flash of knife light suddenly appeared in the firelight, and the powerful knife force that cut through the air rushed to the side and actually blew out the flames on the side.

But this extremely sharp knife stopped less than an inch away from the slender, snow-white, graceful neck.

The woman wearing a pure white mask stood behind Zhao Wumian with her hands behind her back, with a sword at her neck. The strong wind made her black skirt sway slightly, but she did not move at all, with a leisurely feeling of strolling in the garden and sightseeing.

Zhao Wumian blinked, "Empress Canghua?"

One of the reasons why Lady Canghua came here was to prevent Zhao Wumian from guessing his true identity.

Previously, he met with Zhao Wumian under the identity of Shen Xiangge just to let Zhao Wumian know that Shen Xiangge was still in the capital... Then, the Empress Canghua who appeared here naturally had nothing to do with Shen Xiangge.

For this reason, she had just separated from Zhao Wumian, so she changed her clothes and used her light skills to rush over.

Empress Canghua glanced at the sword held across her neck with her beautiful eyes, then lightly stretched out a jade finger and flicked the blade, making a crisp "clang" sound.

"Your martial arts skills have improved a lot, and so has your perception... There is even a hint of Wushan sword in your sword skills. I guess after you have achieved unity between man and nature, you have also begun to ponder your own 'Tao'."

Zhao Wumian never thought that he would meet Empress Canghua here. He sheathed his sword and glanced back at the astonished crowd in the courtyard.

Empress Canghua said with a straight face, "I have nothing to do with this operation. Otherwise, if I had intervened, how could you have captured Li Jingnan so easily?"

This statement sounds a bit arrogant, but it is not false. One more or one less martial arts champion will have a crucial impact on the situation.

"Why is the lady here?"

Zhao Wumian and Lady Canghua were still in alliance, and he was not familiar with this woman with a fickle personality, so his tone was rather polite.

But Lady Canghua felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.

When you were with me, Shen Xiangge, you acted like a big shot. Why are you so polite in front of Empress Canghua?

"I have a private matter to discuss. Please follow me." Empress Canghua turned and walked away.

"Wait a moment, Miss Su's horse is still here. Let me lead the horse. It would be bad if it is lost." Zhao Wumian bowed slightly, then used his light skills to prepare to lead Bai Niangzi.

Whether it was in front of Shen Xiangge or in front of Lady Canghua, you have always been thinking about your Miss Su, right? What is it about a little girl who hasn't even grown all her hair that makes you so fascinated?
There were so many beautiful female disciples in my Canghua Tower who were only wearing bellybands in front of you, but you were not fascinated by them.

This lady and you are pretending to be lovers, but you would rather flirt with the Emperor's Master than come to the Shen Mansion to look for me.

Queen Canghua's mood suddenly became even worse. She felt that her self-esteem as the most beautiful woman in the world was challenged by Zhao Wumian.

"Do you think I picked up my time from the street?" Lady Canghua suddenly turned around and looked at him with an unfriendly tone.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Zhao Wumian asked.

It's just a horse, how much time can it take?

"It has nothing to do with my mood... stop talking nonsense." Empress Canghua reached out and grabbed Zhao Wumian by the collar and pulled him. With a rise and fall of her body, she came to an observatory in Longji Town.

There was nothing special about this place, except that there was no one there. And if I took Zhao Wumian too far away, he would probably suspect that I was trying to murder him.

Zhao Wumian stepped onto the observatory and looked up. He could see the entire panorama of Longji Town... He could also see White Snake standing obediently under a tree, looking up at the birds playing.

Zhao Wumian retracted his gaze, "So what's the matter, Madam?"

Goddess Canghua leaned against the wooden railing of the observatory, slightly supporting herself with the back of her hands, and sat on the railing with her plump buttocks, into which she was deeply sunken.

She raised her slender legs and her skirt swayed slightly. Although she couldn't see anything, she could smell a pleasant fragrance... It was different from Shen Xiangge's.

Before Lady Canghua came, she used different spices.

Since she was able to conceal her identity for so long, she naturally wouldn't make such a small mistake in the details.

"I have the Zhan Yan hairpin and information about Xiao Yuanmu... What do you want to exchange for it?" she asked.

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned, then his expression became overjoyed, "Really?"

Lady Canghua gently twisted the hair on her shoulders with one finger, "I never lie."

"As a demon girl, shouldn't you be the best at lying?"

Zhao Wumian was right, she was indeed a good liar.

The mask of Lady Canghua was slightly tilted. Although her expression could not be seen, Zhao Wumian could also feel a sense of oppression in the air.

Stop talking nonsense and get down to business... That's probably what she meant.

"What does the Queen want?" Zhao Wumian knew that getting along with the demon girl was not that easy. But an equal exchange was reasonable and proper. The Queen Canghua was open about it, which was better than Luo Shuzhi stabbing you in the back.

"I heard from Qi He that you have a close relationship with the eldest lady of the Shen family?" There was a hint of smile on the pretty face of Empress Canghua under the mask, and her charming face was full of interest.

“It can’t be said that they have a close relationship.”

Empress Canghua was stunned for a moment. You know, the two of them were still acting at this moment. Shouldn't Zhao Wumian give a more ambiguous answer at this time?

The pretty face of Lady Canghua under the mask instantly turned cold, "What do you mean by that?"

"I heard from her that the Queen wants to marry me to one of her disciples so as to win me over." Zhao Wumian pondered for a moment, seemingly not noticing the anger revealed by Queen Canghua, and said:
"I have already formed an alliance with the Queen, so before defeating Wugong Mountain, I will not harm Canghua Tower... The Queen does not need to use her disciples to exchange for the interests of the sect."

"No need? You mean we shouldn't?" Lady Canghua's tone was a little cold, but her face under the mask was smiling.

"Then at least don't use Miss Shen." Zhao Wumian made a concession.

The smile on Lady Canghua's face became more and more intense.

So this is what Zhao Wumian meant... He actually doesn't want to take advantage of me by acting, nor does he want to be ambiguous with me in this way. If they want to fall in love, they should do it openly and without using external forces as an excuse.

Well, that’s what I said... Compared with Shen Xiangge and Empress Canghua, Zhao Wumian obviously cares about Shen Xiangge more.

In fact, this was her misunderstanding... Zhao Wumian just didn't want Shen Xiangge to become a victim of the alliance between Canghua Tower and him.

As for falling in love with Shen Xiangge... He actually did have some thoughts in his heart, but if he really did it, if he didn't handle it well, he would definitely die miserably.

Mainly according to Shen Xiangge, she did not join Canghua Tower with all her heart. She only followed orders and not announcements, and had other purposes... She was not very loyal to this sect, so how could she put herself in such a difficult position?

Empress Canghua gently pushed the wooden railing with both hands, stepped on the floor with her embroidered shoes, then turned around, supported the wooden railing with her forearm, leaned on it, bent her waist, looked at the fire in Longji Town, with her back to Zhao Wumian.

Even though Zhao Wumian couldn't see her because of the mask, she didn't want to look at him with a smile... She was subconsciously afraid that he would notice something was wrong from her emotions.

Her voice came faintly, "Even when you were exhausted, you could still create sparks with Miss Su... Why can't you do that with my disciples?"

"Sparks?" Zhao Wumian was a little helpless.

"I was injured too badly at the time. If it weren't for Miss Su, I would have to stay in the capital for more than half a month to recover from my injuries. If that were the case, the person sitting on the throne now should be Luo Shuzhi... Your Majesty misunderstood Miss Su and me. I still feel sorry for her to this day. That's why I don't want Miss Shen to make the same mistake as me."

Lady Canghua paused, and then continued: "As a man, you have a strong sense of responsibility, but from what I can see, you feel guilty towards Miss Su, but she doesn't think she has been wronged... Do you like to put the blame on yourself?"

"There's no such thing as liking it or not... it's just how I was born."

"There's no such thing as like or dislike, it's just how it is." Lady Canghua turned around again, leaned her slender waist against the wooden railing, looked directly at Zhao Wumian again, repeated what he had just said, and said with a smile: "Your words should really be included in the Jianghu Heroes List."

"Thank you, but what is your purpose, Madam? It can't be just to talk about love affairs?"

"Let's talk about business?" Lady Canghua smiled coldly, "The business is that Shen Xiangge dared to disclose my intentions at will. If this continues, how can she keep the sect's secrets? I will definitely punish her..."

Before she finished speaking, she asked with a smile, "How does the Marquis want to punish her?"

Zhao Wumian secretly thought that things were bad. He spoke the truth to Lady Canghua, hoping to gain some independence for Shen Xiangge, but he forgot that this person was a witch from the Demon Sect... and was heartless.

Zhao Wumian also laughed and said, "I am in alliance with the Empress, I can punish her... I will whip her butt when we get back, I will make sure she doesn't dare to make this mistake again."

The pretty smiling face of Lady Canghua suddenly froze, and her expression turned cold again.

Seeing that Empress Canghua was silent again, Zhao Wumian immediately changed the subject, "What do I have to give before Empress Canghua is willing to tell me the clues about Zhan Yanzan and Xiao Yuanmu?"

"There are many female disciples in the Shen Mansion. They are all pretty and have good figures. There are also many who are fair-skinned and flawless like little girls..."

The flawless place... Zhao Wumian thought for a while before realizing that Lady Canghua was talking about the white tiger.

"Now that I have brought you clues about Xiao Yuanmu and Zhan Yanzan, you should show me your sincerity..." Madam Canghua paused for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Wumian, "Within two months, one person must break the virginity, whether it's Miss Shen or any other female disciple."

"No way." Zhao Wumian shook his head.

"I have already made concessions for you. You just said, 'At least don't use Miss Shen'."

This is true.

"Why are you so persistent, madam?"

"It's because I know you have feelings and loyalty..."

Zhao Wumian was extremely dissatisfied with Lady Canghua's attitude of using her female disciples as tools, and asked directly: "Then why don't you do it yourself?"

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere between the two of them immediately froze.

Queen Canghua did not expect Zhao Wumian to say such bold words, and she seemed to be stunned on the spot.

"Put out the fire—"

"Water, water!"

There were shouts from the people under the observatory. It seemed that Shen Lian and his men had finished fighting, so the people hiding in their homes came out to put out the fire.

The noise downstairs brought Empress Canghua back to her senses, and she looked Zhao Wumian up and down.

Zhao Wumian was not afraid of her at all. He looked back and said, "You don't want to do that, do you? If you don't want to do that, why force it on others?"

Queen Canghua wanted to get angry because no one had dared to talk to her like that since she had communicated with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth. What’s more, Zhao Wumian was a weakling who had not yet communicated with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.

But she couldn't get angry... because Zhao Wumian was speaking for Shen Xiangge and for her.

Zhao Wumian's words now could easily anger her. If they weren't careful, the two of them would fight on the spot, and the alliance would be broken immediately. But he still said this...

It was hard for Lady Canghua to tell what her mood was at the moment. She raised her hand to tuck the hair around her ears, turned around again, and looked at the fire below the town.

Zhao Wumian stood beside her with his arms folded. Seeing that Lady Canghua didn't say anything, he followed her gaze down to look at the fire.

Zhao Wumian felt that what he said just now was a bit impulsive... and he was indeed angry. Now that he thought about it, she was a demon girl from the Demon Sect and her values ​​were different. Why should he be angry with her?

He changed the subject and said, "There was a fire downstairs while we were quarreling upstairs... This is unique in the martial arts world. If I write an autobiography called "Weiming Hou" in the future, I will definitely include this plot... Well, write it in a nice way for the queen."

"I am the most beautiful woman in the world..." Lady Canghua was amused by Zhao Wumian. She whispered:

"The Zhan Yan hairpin was originally in Taixuan Palace, but it was stolen by someone from our Suzhou branch. Xiao Yuanmu is currently looking for it. As far as I know, the Zhan Yan hairpin was secretly escorted out of Suzhou... The escort was Dao Kui's eldest brother, Yangshe Yin."

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned, "Is it related to Dao Kui?"

"The Sword Master is on good terms with the Pavilion Master, and they have been working together to plot for the Four Glazed Jades. If you want to find this thing, you can't avoid my sect and Qing Liantian." Lady Canghua shook her head slightly, "Of course, the world doesn't know this, and the end of next month is Yangshe Yin's birthday, he can't be absent... That's all I have to say."

Lady Canghua shook her head slightly and was about to leave.

"Your Majesty, please stay."

Lady Canghua looked back.

"I was so harsh just now, I'm sorry."

Lady Canghua found it funny, "I am angry, but I can't take it out on you, so I can only take it out on Miss Shen, whom you cherish."

"…Madam, would you like to change the conditions?"

Lady Canghua pretended to be indifferent, "Two months can be exchanged for three months... within three months, you must have sex with my disciples."

Sure enough, Lady Canghua still holds the same idea... They are all people of the martial arts world, and their ideas will not change just because of a few words.

Without waiting for Zhao Wumian to refuse, Empress Canghua flew away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Wumian stood alone in the observatory, sighed softly, and looked at the fire below.

The flames were raging and the sky was full of red.
