Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 44 Outside the Palace
After Zhao Wumian rushed out of the house, he immediately threw himself into the snow, motionless, using the wind, snow and white clothes to cover his body, secretly on guard.

Although the goal has been achieved, Zhao Wumian did not dare to take it lightly.

He lay in the snow and waited quietly for a cup of tea. Seeing that there was no unusual movement around him, he slowly moved forward. The snow was falling heavily, and from the perspective of bystanders, nothing could be seen at all.

When Zhao Wumian slowly climbed back to the original position, all he could see was wind and snow, and there was no trace of Guan Yunshu.

His heart sank a little. Although he knew that if Guan Yunshu was discovered, the bell would have been rung three times in Prince Jin's Mansion to give a warning, he still couldn't help feeling a little worried. It was not until a white and tender little hand covered with snowflakes poked him calmly that he felt relieved.

He reached for the snow owl buried in the snow, but unexpectedly grabbed Guan Yunshu's other small hand buried in the snow. It was warm, yet soft and smooth. Both of them were stunned, but dared not make any sound. The body temperature in the palm of his hand quickly melted the snow on the back of his hand, and a little bit of cool and moist feeling came, and they both touched and separated at the same time.

The two men didn't dare to say a word and moved silently towards the outside... In the inner courtyard, both of them had crawled over on the snow, so naturally they had to crawl out now.

After moving step by step in this way, it was almost dawn when the two of them left the palace.

The two men climbed over the wall, groped in the snow for a while relying on their memory, searched out their straw hats and raincoats, and ran away without saying a word, passing through the shadows and corners of the criss-crossing buildings in Taiyuan City, silently... Zhao Wumian's lightness skills were not as good as Guan Yunshu's, but Guan Yunshu would also wait for him without leaving a trace.

After running for dozens of feet, the two stopped in an empty alley. They did not speak. Instead, they took off their robes without saying a word, put on their straw raincoats and hats, and then they breathed a sigh of relief and completely felt relieved.

Zhao Wumian sat down in the snow, leaning against the wall, breathing rapidly... Although there were no accidents on this trip to the palace, the psychological pressure was as heavy as a mountain. If he was discovered without paying attention, the city would be closed.

Relaxing at this moment, Zhao Wumian suddenly realized that his clothes were completely soaked. He didn't know whether it was the melted snow or his own sweat.

Guan Yunshu was also standing against the wall. She was not as careless as Zhao Wumian. She casually threw the Snow Owl at Zhao Wumian's feet. Probably because she was worried that the Snow Owl would make some noise when Zhao Wumian left, she put her little hand near it... but she didn't expect Zhao Wumian to touch her little hand.

The snowy owl was like a ball that had rolled on the snow, but it was actually sleeping soundly and had no idea what was happening.

Guan Yunshu raised her eyebrows slightly. This bird, or its owner, looked like they would make a nun angry... She was touched for no reason. How could she have ever had contact with a man in her life? Even the "Dustless Hand" she practiced was a palm technique that could hurt the enemy from a distance without contact.

It's not that she is against men or anything like that, it's purely for the sake of rules and regulations. She has her own standards in doing things. Killing people doesn't count as a rule for her, so she can kill people at will, but she has to strictly abide by the rules that she believes in. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel that she has violated the rules just because she and Zhao Wumian pretended to be a couple.

But Zhao Wumian cannot be blamed for this. It was really just an unintentional coincidence.

Therefore, Guan Yunshu took a deep breath to calm himself down, pretending that nothing had happened, and looked at Zhao Wumian and asked, "How is it?"

"Hmm?" Zhao Wumian looked up slightly, recalled what he had said, and said, "I am a little nervous. After all, our relationship is not good enough to hold hands, but to be honest, the touch is actually very good..."

Guan Yunshu's expression froze for a moment, and then a hint of shame and embarrassment suddenly emerged on his cold face. He clenched his fists and physically interrupted Zhao Wumian's next words.

bang bang bang-

"Fuck, why did you hit me?"

"You knew I wasn't asking that, but you were just trying to make me angry!"

"Buddhists believe in not telling lies. If you treat something that has already happened as if it never happened, doesn't that count as a 'lie' on a psychological level?"

Guan Yunshu's eyes twitched slightly. This man always has a clear mind like a mirror.

"You are just smooth talker!"

"I just don't tell lies."

Guan Yunshu paused, then became even angrier. This guy actually used her previous words to refute her.

Guan Yunshu asked coldly, "So you brought this up on purpose?"

Zhao Wumian stopped talking.

Guan Yunshu immediately understood.

Squeak - the sound of wind whirring and moving came from the alley. Xue Xiao was awakened and turned over. He opened his eyes a little, but saw a man and a woman, one running away and the other fighting. The woman's face was red, she wanted to fight but didn't dare to use force, just like an ordinary couple who used quarreling to add some fun, but their movements were more agile than the other... It was just the martial arts master version of a couple's quarrel.

The Snow Owl turned over again, facing away from them, and continued to sleep... It has never been able to understand such emotional matters of humans, just like it still doesn't know to this day why Yan Jiu, who was so free and easy at the beginning, had such a burdensome woman around him.

However, after playing around for a while, Guan Yunshu stopped on her own. She had never held hands with a man in her life, and Zhao Wumian had angered her, so she was filled with shame and anger, so she did this to hide the inexplicable embarrassment in her heart... In her heart, she didn't blame Zhao Wumian for touching her, she just felt that Zhao Wumian always deliberately angered her.

"It was an unintentional act. I don't blame you, but you can't deliberately make me angry." She warned angrily.

If Pei Yuzhong saw this, he would probably cut his throat on the spot to make sure he was not dreaming... If any other man touched Guan Yunshu's little hand, this nun would probably kill that man on the spot.

What do you mean it was an unintentional act? I don’t blame you... Guan Yunshu is not that easy to talk to.

Zhao Wumian straightened his collar, coughed lightly and pretended nothing had happened. He did not give a clear answer, but explained his plan in an orderly manner.

"We are not afraid of not being able to snatch the Thousand-Li Horse. We are only afraid that the Thousand-Li Horse will be locked up in the Prince Jin's Mansion and we will not be able to get it." Zhao Wumian smiled. "Tomorrow I will find a place where the Thousand-Li Horse can pass by and is closest to the city gate. The day after tomorrow I will ambush there. After snatching the horse, I will run directly to the city gate. Even if the Prince Jin seals the city, it will be too late."

Guan Yunshu pondered for a moment. This plan was extremely risky and was definitely not the best strategy. But how could there be no risk when stealing things from the prince?
However, after Zhao Wumian stole the horse and escaped, his identity was completely exposed, and his journey from then on would be bloody.

If everything goes well, they will return to Beijing safely. If something unexpected happens, they will never see each other again.

She is still angry...Once Zhao Wumian leaves Taiyuan, no one will be able to laugh, fight or scold with her like this anymore.

Guan Yunshu looked at Zhao Wumian. Zhao Wumian was still laughing, happy for the chance to grab the horse. He didn't show any worry about the future... Guan Yunshu looked at the smile on his face and was silent for a long time.

Zhao Wumian asked: "How about this method? Are there any loopholes?"

Guan Yunshu came back to his senses and asked, "I was guarding the door for you outside, but you were bullying the prince's daughter inside the house?"

Her entry point is always so wonderful.

"Well... that's what happened, but the way you put it makes it sound like you're the victim."

Guan Yunshu snorted lightly, not understanding what a victim meant, but she remained calm. She looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late. It would definitely not be appropriate for her to spend the night outside with Zhao Wumian, so she said, "I'll go back to the temple first. We'll discuss the details tomorrow."

"Okay." Zhao Wumian smiled, grabbed Snow Owl, and then the two of them left in two different ways without saying much.

"Wait." Before leaving, Guan Yunshu turned back to look at Zhao Wumian and called him.

"What did you forget?" Zhao Wumian asked curiously.

Guan Yunshu said: "If you can leave Taiyuan alive, you can come to Xiaoxitian and I will teach you martial arts."

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned, "Fingering?"

"Swordsmanship, internal strength, lightness skills, all are necessary, but you can only choose one."

"Why are you helping me so much?"

"I don't want you to die, so I want to give you hope to live."

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "Other girls all hope to marry you, but you only have martial arts skills, which is really unromantic..."

"..."

"Hey, stop hitting me, I was the one who said too much..."
