Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 208 Love and Donkey Meat Roast
If someone in the Detective Department or the Sword Sect branch lies, what is their intention?

Zhao Wumian concealed his identity before entering Changshan, and the two parties definitely didn't know about it beforehand. It's impossible for them to lie specifically to deal with Zhao Wumian.

Very few people knew that they were coming to Changshan, so how could the Sword Sect branch and the Detective Department make preparations in advance... The more likely possibility was that they wanted to delay him or drive him away.

The Sword Sect’s idea was to delay him, because as long as they stayed in Changshan, they could wait for Mu Lier.

The Detective Department told him to leave quickly, after all, there was no way Mu Lier would come to Changshan.

Each party holds a different view. No matter what, there is definitely something wrong with one of them, but it is hard to say who it is.

Su Qingqi also thought of this, and her expression changed slightly, "What do they want to do?"

Zhao Wumian pondered for a moment, "Just ask around, they don't know yet that we have noticed something is wrong, pretend they don't know about it for now... I'll go check the Sword Sect branch, you check the Detective Department."

Su Qingqi nodded slightly.

There are only these two sources of information. Without further investigation, it is hard to say where Mu Lier is.

Zhao Wumian found the four treasures of the study, wrote a letter, and opened the window.

The Snow Owl was standing on the eaves with its eyes narrowed, basking in the sun. Zhao Wumian raised his hand and fed it a piece of dried meat, asking it to deliver the letter to Shen Xiangge.

Before leaving, Zi Yi had developed a special kind of spices and made them into sachets, which were hung on everyone, allowing Snow Owl to identify people.

The letter simply asked Shen Xiangge to stay at Yang Mansion and not run around, in case anything happened in Changshan.

After closing the doors and windows, Zhao Wumian put on his bamboo hat again, intending to pretend to be an ordinary wanderer and go to investigate as usual.

Su Qingqi looked at his back, remained silent for a few seconds, then took out an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Zhao Wumian, "It's going to rain soon, don't get wet and catch a cold."

"I'm wearing a bamboo hat, and with my current martial arts skills, there's no way I'll catch a cold."

"That won't work either." Su Qingqi stuffed the oil-paper umbrella into Zhao Wumian's hand.

Su Qingqi's tone was very firm, but Zhao Wumian could only use this to feel her concern for him. He couldn't help but raise his hand, put his arms around her slender waist, and then squeezed it gently.

Su Qingqi's expression froze, and she couldn't help but tighten her well-proportioned legs to prevent Zhao Wumian from going deeper.

"Aren't you going to get some information?"

"There's always time for a kiss, right?"

Zhao Wumian pinched Su Qingqi's snow-white cheek with one hand, then moved closer and kissed her moist and soft pink lips.

Su Qingqi's eyes widened a little. No matter when or where, what kind of relationship they had, and how many times they had practiced dual cultivation.

The shyness in her heart when facing Zhao Wumian will never change.

Zhao Wumian used his Qinggong skills to climb out the window and leave. At this moment, both the Detective Department and the Sword Sect branch should be on guard... With Su Qingqi's current eyesight, he could only see a white shadow flash by.

As he learned the light skill of Picking Stars and Changing the Moon, one of Zhao Wumian's three weaknesses was eliminated.

He has two weaknesses, one is his leg skills, but he is proficient in swords, spears and swords. If he cannot defeat an enemy with weapons, he still cannot defeat him even if he learns a leg skill...it doesn't have much impact.

Another weakness is that he is too popular with women. Even though Miss Su is understanding and does not object to Zhao Wumian having other beauties, it does not prevent the danger of Shura Field from happening at all.

Zhao Wumian was thinking about all these things half-jokingly in his heart, and went to several taverns. He drank while practicing his sword skills and listening to the conversations of the drinkers.

As a result, most of them were talking about how Zhao Wumian captured Li Jingnan, one of the former Five Mountains, alive on the night of the Lantern Festival, but there was no valuable information.

Zhao Wumian was not discouraged. He ran to a few more places. It was raining and he had to hold an umbrella when he finally got something.

Crackling————

The spring rain comes quickly and suddenly, and the raindrops hit the umbrella, making a series of light sounds.

Zhao Wumian held an oil-paper umbrella in his left hand and held the sword in his right hand, standing at the entrance of the alley with his hat slightly tilted and looking up at the sky. He thought in his heart that if Guan Yunshu was still there, he would probably also be holding an umbrella, standing at the entrance of the alley waiting for him, right?
It’s only been two days since they last met, and he already misses the little nun… Fortunately, Miss Su currently has no intention of venturing out into the world alone, otherwise Zhao Wumian would definitely feel lonely.

At this time, a wanderer wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat was walking to one side across the street from Zhao Wumian. He did not attract attention. There were many people dressed like this when traveling around the world.

But Zhao Wumian had been using the sword technique to sense his surroundings... It was completely impossible to know what this straw raincoat man looked like from a distance, but Zhao Wumian sensed his weapon from a distance.

Two heavy maces.

There are quite a few people in the martial arts world who use heavy maces, but there are only two who have fought with Zhao Wumian and are quite powerful.

The first one is Li Jingnan, one of the former Five Mountains, and the second one is Li Baoshan, one of the people who surrounded and suppressed Zhao Wumian when Qin Fengshan did so.

Li Baoshan also has a younger brother named Li Baoyu...who has been killed by Zhao Wumian. He is Zhao Wumian's complete enemy.

Zhao Wumian had a good memory and recognized the two heavy maces. He tilted his head and looked at the man in the straw raincoat for a few seconds... His figure was indeed somewhat similar to Li Baoshan's.

The man in the straw raincoat who was suspected to be Li Baoshan did not notice Zhao Wumian's gaze. Even though they were separated by a street, his perception was not sharp enough to that extent.

Zhao Wumian pondered for a moment, held up an umbrella, and followed secretly.

The man in the straw raincoat came to a restaurant and went up to the third floor. Zhao Wumian jumped onto the roof of the restaurant and stepped on the bricks and tiles without making any sound.

There was the sound of conversation inside.

"We have sent letters to all the branches, saying that the Changshan branch has found the traces of the Huanzhen Pavilion branch, but due to its limited strength, it is afraid of losing too many disciples, so it is waiting for Master Mu Jian to come here to lead us into the thieves' den and kill those flower thieves... Is this what you want, sir?"

Zhao Wumian narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the voice of the leader of the Sword Sect branch.

The leader of the Sword Sect branch was named Jiang Yuze. His strength was average, neither strong nor weak. At this moment, there was a hint of fear in his voice.

According to Zhao Wumian's perception, there were two other people sitting in the room besides Jiang Yuze.

Li Baoshan's voice was heard at this moment, "Brother Jiang, I have cooperated with your Sword Sect before, and we had a good relationship. But Zhao Wumian killed my brother, but the Sword Sect turned a blind eye to it. Was it just because he was Marquis Weiming? Because he was Mu Lier's disciple? Don't blame brothers for being ruthless, that's how the martial arts world is."

Jiang Yuze sneered: "Is this the reason why you captured my wife and relatives?"

"It's just for revenge. I have only one life left. I will do anything to kill Zhao Wumian."

At this time, the third person in the wing room interrupted the conversation between the two and asked, "Zhao Wumian has also come to Changshan?"

Judging from the voice of the third person, he was a middle-aged man, whom Zhao Wumian had never heard of before.

Jiang Yuze nodded, and then asked: "The reason why you brought Mu Lier to Changshan is to harm Zhao Wumian. Since he has come to Changshan, there is no need to harm Mu Lier, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Mu Li'er is not important, the princess she is protecting is very important."

Zhao Wumian was silent for a moment. This person wanted to attack Luo Xiangzhu, so he must be someone from Huanzhen Pavilion? However, according to the time, he must have received the news that King Yan had the Crimson Pearl Jade not long ago, so he had just started to make arrangements, but he overheard everything.

Fortunately, he did not delay at all along the way and rode his horse straight to Changshan.

The middle-aged man continued, "It's not all bad that Zhao Wumian showed up here. It's a good opportunity to catch him all at once. No matter how good his martial arts are, he was in the Sword Sect branch and was unprepared. It's normal for him to be killed in the middle of the night. But the Pavilion Master once said that he wanted to capture him alive. I heard that he is lustful..."

The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then said: "The female disciples of our hall are unrestrained, and Zhao Wumian certainly looks down on them. But it's different in Canghua Tower. The female disciples in their building strictly abide by the rules of being a woman. The female disciples of our hall can't act that pure... Tonight, I will contact the branch of Canghua Tower in Changshan and ask them to send a female disciple to disguise as a disciple of your Sword Sect and sleep with him at night."

Zhao Wumian: ...

Where did the rumor about his lust come from? If he was really lustful, wouldn't he be committing adultery in his harem every night?

But you want to find the female disciples of Canghua Tower? This is in line with the wishes of Lady Canghua, and she will most likely not refuse, but Canghua Tower can actually use dual cultivation to confuse people?

Lady Canghua is so anxious that she asks him to deflower his female disciple within three months. Could it be that she has this in mind?

Zhao Wumian became a little wary of Lady Canghua.

Li Baoshan frowned, "Capture alive?"

The middle-aged man knew that Li Baoshan was filled with hatred, so he said, "Poison can be given in bed. We are proficient in the method of collecting and replenishing, and we can also use the pleasure of sex to confuse people. The female disciples of Canghua Tower are also members of our sect. We don't have to use poison, but we can't help it. When Zhao Wumian falls for it, won't it be at your disposal?"

Li Baoshan was silent for a moment, then he sighed, "Don't forget the deal between us. Without me, you wouldn't be able to connect with Wudamu... All I want is to kill Zhao Wumian and avenge Baoyu."

Zhao Wumian frowned...Hearing this, Li Baoshan became a spy and defected to the Rong army?

That's true. Li Baoshan couldn't take revenge on his own and had to rely on the help of others. He had always been a gangster in Jin and his base was Louwai Mountain, which was next to Hequ... In other words, it had been occupied by the Rong people a long time ago.

His younger brother died, his master, the Prince of Jin, also died, and even the sect he had worked so hard to build was destroyed when the Rong people entered the pass. All that was left was hatred... If he had surrendered to the Rong people, he could have still preserved the foundation of the sect.

Jiang Yuze listened silently until the end, and then asked, "When will you release my wife and family?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Master Jiang's wife and family are in the dark room of the branch, but I cannot tell you exactly where the branch is. I hope you understand... Once we capture Luo Xiangzhu and Zhao Wumian, Master Jiang's wife and family will be safe and sound and will return to you."

“…You won’t do anything to them?”

"No matter how impatient we are, we know the seriousness of the matter. Don't worry."

Having said this, the three of them prepared to leave.

Zhao Wumian hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of ​​capturing the three people directly.

Capturing the three people was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. The branch of Huanzhen Pavilion was still hidden in Changshan. If this thorn could not be removed, there would always be trouble in the future.

Now, Huanzhen Pavilion and Wudamu are obviously cooperating. What Wudamu wants is to break through the pass and obtain the Dali River and Mountains... Now the war in the front is tense. If the rear is still unstable, then Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass may really be broken.

Didn't Huanzhen Pavilion want to capture him alive by relying on the sex skills of the female disciples of Canghua Tower?

After being captured alive, where could he be taken? It must be the branch of Huanzhen Pavilion.

With a plan in mind, Zhao Wumian immediately flew away, used his lightness skills, went to Fumanlou first, and entered through the window.

Su Qingqi paced back and forth with her hands behind her back. Seeing Zhao Wumian, she was delighted. "I have tried many times, and the Detective Department doesn't seem to have any doubts. Did you get anything?"

Zhao Wumian closed the doors and windows, took off his bamboo hat, nodded slightly, and briefly told Su Qingqi everything he had heard, and then said:
"I'll be carrying the sachet with me all the time. When I'm captured and taken to the Huanzhen Pavilion branch, you can let Xue Xiao lead the way. You lead a group of experts from the Detective Department to surround his branch. We'll work together from the inside and outside... How do you think?"

"Not so good." Su Qingqi glanced at Zhao Wumian with a hint of resentment. "I can accept what happened between you and Miss Shen, because I know that you have feelings for her, but you want to throw yourself into the arms of some wild woman out there? What does that count?"

Zhao Wumian was actually happy to hear this and consoled him, "I am a good man who keeps himself clean. Madam Canghua has always wanted to have something happen between her female disciples and me. There are more than a dozen pretty female disciples in the Shen Mansion who I can do whatever I want to them, but I have never done anything out of line with them."

"Can you guarantee that you won't be tempted by the female disciple sent this time?"

"No matter who is sent, even if Shen Xiangge takes off all his clothes and stands in front of me, I will not be moved. The Red Silk of Naraku has the effect of deducing memory. Miss Su has forgotten it? After so long, my proficiency has improved a lot. As long as the female disciple enters my room, I will knock her out and use the Red Silk of Naraku to deduce her memory, making her think that she had sex with me." "Can you grasp the specific content of the memory deduction? Make sure there are no loopholes?"

"No... I can only make sure that if she finds out that she has been deceived, I will directly hold her hostage and force her to tell me the whereabouts of the Huanzhen Pavilion branch... If I can't get it out, I will act according to the situation."

This is the only solution, as Zhao Wumian cannot tamper with other people's memories.

Su Qingqi felt that she was being unreasonable, so she turned her face away, "But do you think I'm unreasonable? If it were Miss Shen, she would definitely not care about what woman you slept with."

"I don't know what she thinks, but if you don't care, then I'll think you have no feelings for me at all."

Upon hearing this, Su Qingqi did not show shyness as usual. Instead, she frowned slightly, tilted her face, stared at Zhao Wumian, then suddenly raised her hand and pulled Zhao Wumian's pants.

"Ms. Su!?"

"When you lose your strength, you won't be afraid of other women climbing into your bed."

"But when have you ever made me so weak?"

Su Qingqi choked up, and after a moment she whispered, "Then, what do you have in mind?"

Zhao Wumian gently stroked Su Qingqi's smooth and white face, his fingertips ran across her graceful swan neck, and then placed his fingers on her shoulders, applying a little force, motioning her to sit on the chair.

"so."

Su Qingqi's pupils shrank, and she recalled the biggest thing she had ever eaten, which might be a candied haws. Then she covered her pink lips with one hand and shook her head repeatedly, "No, this, how many candied haws does this have to be?"

"Tanghulu?" Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Miss Su, do you like to bite the rock sugar on the Tanghulu or lick it?"

"……lick."

"That's it."

Zhao Wumian left Fumanlou without wearing a hat, dressed the same way as when he left the Jianzong branch.

He did not go back to the Sword Sect branch directly, but found a noodle shop outside, ate a bowl of authentic Changshan flat noodles, and pretended to stroll around... In fact, he was really hungry.

Outside the noodle shop, the rain was pouring down, and there were few people on the street.

There are locust trees planted on both sides of the street, and the roadside is covered with locust leaves, forming a "leaf river".

Zhao Wumian was eating noodles, looking at the rain outside the noodle shop, and thinking of Zi Yi again. He didn't know where she was now.

Sometimes I thought of Guan Yunshu, sometimes I thought of Ziyi... No wonder Miss Su was always afraid that other women would go to his bed.

But if Miss Su doesn't want to, then he will never do anything to let her down... He likes this girl more than anyone else who mustered up the courage to take off her clothes for him and was the first to get into his bed.

After leaving the noodle shop and returning to the Sword Sect branch, Jiang Yuze greeted him and there was nothing unusual.

He returned to the villa that Jiang Yuze had prepared for him, sat in front of the window, and watched the rain through the window. He sorted out his martial arts and tried to find his own way of martial arts as soon as possible, while waiting for the female disciple of Canghua Tower to come.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

Zhao Wumian thought that it was the female disciple of Canghua Tower who had arrived, so he picked up the oil-paper umbrella from the table, held it up, stepped on the puddles, and opened the gate.

But outside the courtyard gate was a girl dressed as a maid. She was not beautiful in appearance, but she had a very well-behaved temperament.

"you are?"

The woman held up an umbrella with one hand and bowed to Zhao Wumian, "My Lord, I am a servant of the Yang family. The young lady asked me to come to you."

"Shen Xiangge? What's going on?" Zhao Wumian was a little confused. Didn't he write to her to ask her not to get involved? Or was she still angry and didn't like Zhao Wumian for not going to the Yang family to comfort her first?

Zhao Wumian thought it was the latter. In his opinion, Shen Xiangge still had more of a ladylike temperament.

"It's almost night, Miss has already had dinner. There was donkey meat hotpot at the banquet. Miss said that she heard the Marquis mention Changshan's hotpot on the way here, so she asked me to bring it to you... It's still hot."

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned.

I saw the maid holding up the lunch box in her other hand. Before she opened the lid, a fragrant smell came from the box.

Zhao Wumian subconsciously took the lunch box and opened the wooden lid. Hot air mixed with fragrance rushed into his nose. In the alley, there were two steamed buns wrapped in oil paper. Judging from the quality of the meat and the ingredients, they were obviously not of the same level as the steamed buns Zhao Wumian bought on the street... There was also a small wooden kettle next to it. When he opened the spout, there was white porridge inside to relieve greasiness and thirst.

Zhao Wumian looked at the lunch box, speechless for a moment.

The maid held the umbrella with both hands and whispered, "The young lady also said that when the marquis comes to Changshan, he should not always think about official business. He should walk around more, enjoy the scenery, eat, and rest more, so as not to tire himself out."

Whether it was the donkey meat bacon that was specially delivered or the words conveyed by the maid, everything made Zhao Wumian feel an indescribable warmth in his heart.

Before this, he had vowed that even if Shen Xiangge took off all his clothes and stood in front of him, he would not be moved.

Now he thinks that this sentence is bullshit.

"Bullshit." Zhao Wumian said to himself subconsciously.

The maid tilted her head, "My Lord... don't like eating fire-baked bread?"

Zhao Wumian reacted, shook his head, and smiled at the maid, "No... I'll tell you young lady, I just think this fire is too sweet, and my life has been too good recently, it doesn't deserve this sweetness."

The maid looked at Zhao Wumian's smile, and her face turned red for some reason. After hearing what he said, she finally reacted and smiled softly, "My Lord, fire cakes don't taste sweet."

"Then I was wrong." Zhao Wumian took a bite of the fire and smiled slightly.
The pancakes were crispy and the donkey meat was delicious, but neither could compare to the sweetness in Zhao Wumian’s heart.

……

Inside Yang's residence, Shen Xiangge, wearing a red dress, sat on a chair in the corridor, looking at the colorful flowers in the courtyard that were blooming beautifully under the rain, holding in her hand the letter that Zhao Wumian had sent her.

She had no interest in who was lying between the Sword Sect branch and the Detective Department... It had nothing to do with her anyway, and Zhao Wumian would handle it himself.

The maid came behind Shen Xiangge and bowed, "Miss, the lunch box is delivered."

"Hmm." Shen Xiangge snorted faintly and asked, "What did he say?"

"My Lord said, bullshit."

Shen Xiangge was slightly stunned, frowning and looking at him, "My kindness has been taken for granted? I sent him food, and he scolded me? I haven't even bothered him yet, but he thinks I'm unreasonable. Shouldn't he be angry?"

The maid hurriedly bowed her head, and was frightened by Shen Xiangge's angry face. She continued, "No, no, the Marquis said later that he felt that the fire was too sweet, and his life recently was too good to deserve this sweetness."

The anger on Shen Xiangge's face disappeared, and he was silent for a few seconds before turning into a smile, "Really... Go down."

"As ordered."

After the maid left, Shen Xiangge slowly stood up, smoothed the hem of her skirt, and looked up at the rain.

A moment later, a dark shadow flashed out from the Yang Mansion. She dressed up as Lady Canghua and went to a courtyard behind a brothel... This place was the branch of Canghua Tower in Changshan.

When the disciples from the branch saw Lady Canghua, they were all in disbelief and bowed in greeting.

The local branch leader asked quietly: "Madam, why are you here?"

"Where am I going? Do I need to report to you?"

"No, no... Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The leader of the branch was a mature and beautiful woman in her twenties with a pretty face and a very pure sexual feeling.

Lady Canghua sat down in front of the armchair, and a disciple immediately offered her tea. She raised her hand gently and asked, "Has anything happened in Changshan recently?"

Empress Canghua usually doesn't pay attention to the affairs of a particular branch... There are so many branches in Canghua Tower. If she were to be told everything, she might as well stop practicing martial arts and find a place to handle official business like Luo Chaoyan, and stay there all day.

So she really didn't know what happened in Changshan.

The branch leader still leaned forward and said respectfully: "In our sect, we heard that King Yan suspected that he knew the news of the Crimson Jade, so he wanted to kidnap Luo Xiangzhu. It happened that the deputy pavilion master passed through Changshan, so he planned to set up a trap here to lure Mu Lier and Luo Xiangzhu here and capture them in one fell swoop."

"Deputy Pavilion Master?" Empress Canghua frowned slightly.

There are three martial arts masters in Huanzhen Pavilion, the Pavilion Master, Tong Congdao and Lady Canghua.

Lady Canghua is responsible for maintaining the prestige of Huanzhen Pavilion in the martial arts world. Generally, she is not asked to do any dirty work. However, Tong Congdao alone sometimes seems overwhelmed and short-handed.

But there was one person, whose fighting power could barely match that of Wu Kui, his name was Xian Yu Chen, and he was born in Miaojiang. The white-robed scholar killed by Zhao Wumian in the capital was Xian Yu Chen's true disciple.

Empress Canghua had actually seen Xian Yuchen before, a man in his fifties who was proficient in boxing, swordsmanship, and spearmanship. He had been the guardian of Huanzhen Pavilion for more than 20 years.

Because of his comprehension of the Nine Bells, he intended to communicate with the bridge of heaven and earth to break through, but failed and almost went astray... Later he left Huanzhen Pavilion and went into the world to seek opportunities. He returned to Huanzhen Pavilion fifteen years ago.

Although he still hasn't communicated with the bridge between heaven and earth, it is said that he got a chance and learned a martial art that can double his strength in a short period of time. His combat power is quite good, and he can be said to be the "martial arts champion of a stick of incense."

After one stick of incense, it will wilt.

Queen Canghua didn't expect that he would come to Changshan.

"What are their specific arrangements?" asked Lady Canghua.

"Zhao Wumian has come to Changshan. They want us to send a female disciple to disguise herself as a disciple of the Sword Sect branch, practice sex with him, confuse his mind, and capture him alive."

Lady Canghua was slightly stunned, "Dual cultivation of love and water?"

"Yes."

Her face immediately darkened, "Who's going?"

"I."

"I will make the final decision on this matter." Lady Canghua stood up and left, then she remembered something and said to the helmsman of the branch helm, "You, go and copy the rules of the building ten times."

"what?"

"Ok?"

"...as you command."
