Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 99 Dali Capital
Less than half a day after Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu left, a man in a black robe rode into Pingyang on a tall horse.

His face was pale, but his breath was restrained and his expression was calm. It was Liu Yuezhi. However, he was seriously injured by Zhao Wumian and had not recovered yet.

Liu Yuezhi had ridden his thousand-mile horse to many places these days, and then heard about the deeds of Pingyang's 'Su Yanran', so he rushed over to see her.

He came directly to Xiaoxitian, found Dongxuan, and told him his purpose.

"Ghost Leader, please be patient." Dong Xuan led Liu Yuezhi to the guest hall, poured him a cup of tea, and then sat on a chair, holding the teacup, with a calm posture, tilted his head and asked with a smile: "Ghost Leader, do you suspect that Su Yanran is Zhao Wumian?"

Liu Yuezhi nodded slightly, "That's right, I hope Master Dongxuan can hand over Su Yanran so that I can find out her identity. I will be very grateful."

"Haha." Dong Xuan smiled faintly, with kind eyes, but sighed softly, "Don't worry, I have already found out the identity of Su Yanran. It is really a little...hard to talk about."

"Oh?"

"Does Guikui know the life experience of Guan Yunshu, the eldest disciple of Xiao Xitian?" Dongxuan suddenly asked.

Liu Yuezhi frowned slightly, "Master Dongwen's illegitimate daughter is a secret in the martial arts world, but to King Jin, it is not a secret at all."

"Not bad, a monk has an illegitimate daughter, this is a shocking scandal." Dongxuan sighed again, "Su Yanran...ah..."

After a pause, Dong Xuan sighed again, with a sad face, "He also has some connections with Yun Shu and Senior Brother Dong Wen. No wonder he was so angry when he heard that Xiao Xitian was threatened by those Jianghu celebrities with rumors."

Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu do have some connection. After all, he was the first friend Guan Yunshu made in the martial arts world.

Liu Yuezhi was slightly stunned, "Illegitimate child?"

"Alas, this is not what I, the monk, said." Dong Xuan shook his head slightly, "No matter how you put it, this matter is a scandal for those of us who practice Buddhism. I hope the Ghost King will not make it public."

If Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu became a couple... a nun getting married would indeed be a scandal.

"Let me meet him first." Gui Kui was unmoved.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Su Yanran's identity is related to Xiao Xitian's reputation in the martial arts world. It is really sensitive. I hope Ghost Leader understands. Let me explain it slowly."

Liu Yuezhi felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Dongxuan was the second-in-command of Xiao Xitian and not some small fry, so he had to be patient and listen to what Dongxuan had to say first.

So he was controlled for several days by Dongxuan's statement, which seemed to be a lie but was actually full of misleading and deceiving.

All I can say is that the identity of Master Dongwen's other illegitimate son is quite useful... Anyway, this was not said by Dongxuan, but Liu Yuezhi's own guess.

Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu walked along the official road, heading east.

From time to time, people stopped them along the way, and Dongxuan had already released the news that Ye Wancang murdered innocent disciples of Xiaoxitian, which was considered to be announced to the world. Therefore, Guan Yunshu did not need to hide her identity. When she met people, she would tell them directly that she came here to kill Ye Wancang.

The titles of the eldest sister of Xiao Xitian and the first Yuan Kui were still very useful. No one dared to intercept him along the way. Many people even gave Ye Wancang information in a flattering manner. The content was similar, all indicating that he was heading towards the capital.

Given the current situation in Jin, it is not easy to go somewhere secretly. In addition, Ye Wancang is also a celebrity in the north, and many people know him.

If he really went to the capital, he and Zhao Wumian would be going the same way, so it would not be surprising to be seen by others.

Upon learning that Ye Wancang was really going to the capital, Guan Yunshu felt slightly relieved... Zhao Wumian went to the capital to investigate Dong Yan and find out her own identity, but she only wanted to kill Ye Wancang... If Ye Wancang was not in the capital, then she would naturally have no reason to travel with Zhao Wumian.

As for Zhao Wumian's identity, few people doubted it. The fact that he carried a knife, a sword and a gun was known to the world, so 'Bi Bo' was left in Xiao Xitian by Zhao Wumian because he was too conspicuous. He only brought Kunwu Knife and Baishuang Sword on this trip, both wrapped in black cloth and straddled the horse's belly... Mainly because no one could have imagined that Xiao Xitian would openly protect Zhao Wumian, who was once a disciple of Huanzhen Pavilion, so they had a peaceful journey.

After most of the day, they finally arrived at the border of Jin. The security here was obviously stronger. About ten people stood with swords drawn and horses on their backs, standing straight in front of the official road. They even set up a camp, which was not much different from the bandits.

The King of Jin didn't care and was obviously happy to see it happen.

They saw Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu coming on horseback from a distance, and they immediately cleared the roadblocks and shouted, "Tell me your names!"

After learning Guan Yunshu's identity, they smiled and turned to look at Zhao Wumian, saying in a dangerous tone, "Everyone knows about what happened in Jin recently. Let's not talk about the national capital for now. We also need to investigate Zhao Wumian. Since you are traveling with Guan Nvxia, we won't make it difficult for you. We just hope that this young man will take off his bamboo hat and let us see your true identity before letting you go."

Guan Yunshu frowned slightly and prepared to take action.

Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows frivolously and looked at him sideways, "What kind of people are you?"

"Wujitian is one of the six major sects. Its leader is the contemporary spear master Chen Qiyuan." Seeing Zhao Wumian's unfriendly tone, the leader immediately pulled out a steel spear from behind him and sneered.
"The sect master has always been on good terms with the King of Jin. We, the disciples, should share the King of Jin's worries and arrest the criminal Zhao Wumian. This is just a routine check. Not to mention that you are only traveling with Guan Nvxia, even if a woman on a white horse broke in two days ago, who was suspected to be the daughter of the Su family, we would not have killed her..."

The man hadn't finished speaking when a cold light suddenly flashed before his eyes.

wipe----

It turned out that the man in the straw raincoat had grabbed the handle of the long sword hanging beside the horse's belly with his right hand, and suddenly drew the sword out of the sheath, holding the sword in his backhand, and lightly swung it across the leader's neck.

Blood splattered, and blood foam mixed with snowflakes from the sky fell down.

The leader stared at Zhao Wumian with eyes wide open in disbelief. The next moment, he fell to the ground with his body tensed. Before he lost consciousness, he saw that the man in the straw raincoat had neatly inserted the long sword back into the scabbard on the horse's belly. Guan Yunshu also jumped up and killed his accomplices in one go.

He was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, and his sword skills were as sharp as a fleeting white horse, ethereal and leaving no trace... Oh, could he be Zhao Wumian?
Is the difference in strength really that big? I can't even tell when he's going to draw his sword, it's like mowing the grass...

Wujitian, one of the six major sects, is at the same level as Guixuan Valley. It is only a little bit inferior to Xiaoxitian because it does not have the Nine Bells. The disciples who can be stationed on the edge of Jin are considered to be good players in the world, but unfortunately they are still not good enough.

Zhao Wumian left one person alive and asked coldly while sitting on his horse: "What happened to the woman who is suspected to be Miss Su's family?" "I, I don't know. She wanted to pay some money to pass through quietly, but the boss wouldn't let her go and insisted on seeing her face, so she rushed through the checkpoint. She is very good at martial arts and she is not injured..." The person left behind was so scared that her legs were trembling and her speech was slurred.

After asking, Zhao Wumian stabbed him in the throat with his sword, sheathed the sword, and rode away.

Guan Yunshu saw everything and smiled: "You are protecting her, but she is Wujitian. If she is killed by you, the spear master Chen Qiyuan will definitely come after you."

It seems a bit sour, but in fact, Guan Yunshu feels that Zhao Wumian has become impulsive after involving Su Qingqi.

If Wujitian’s people want to stop Zhao Wumian, they must kill him. But they can’t kill him just because Zhao Wumian heard that Su Qingqi might be injured and acted rashly.

If I were still so impulsive after going to the capital, I might pay the price with my life.

"Ye Wancang was once the apprentice of the Spear Master. Although he betrayed his master, if I kill him, the Spear Master will probably still make trouble for me. Moreover, since he is on good terms with King Jin, he is on the wrong side. Sooner or later, we will have a fight."

"He is the leader of the spears." Guan Yunshu felt that Zhao Wumian seemed a little too confident, so he warned him:

"The Wujitian sect has only been established for thirty years, and its foundation is still shallow, but it can be included in the six major sects. It is all supported by him alone. The spear leader dares to give his sect such an arrogant name, which shows that he is full of confidence and arrogance. Therefore, if you make enemies and provoke blood feuds, even if you help the legitimate princess ascend the throne, she may not be able to protect you... After all, it is impossible for you to have a master to protect you twelve hours a day."

Zhao Wumian tilted his head to look at her, frowning slightly, "Miss Guan, you seem to have misunderstood me."

"Hmm?" Guan Yunshu raised his little face.

"The most fundamental reason why I helped her return to the capital was because I wanted to use the power of the imperial court to help me investigate the Hanyu Gu, not because I wanted her to protect me forever."

Zhao Wumian said calmly: "Although I have lost my memory, I know that the reason I practice martial arts is to avoid such a situation in the future. I will not be frightened and tremble because of the fear of offending a master, and I will not shrink back in fear. Instead, I will find a backer and live a peaceful life under the protection of others..."

Zhao Wumian paused for a moment, and then continued, "I practice martial arts to make the martial arts champions afraid of me. They should be cautious when dealing with anything involving me... Even if he is the spear champion, how can I be afraid before the battle?"

Guan Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and expressed approval in his heart. He suddenly felt that the reason why he and Zhao Wumian got along so well was that they always resonated in some aspects.

After a few short words, the two stopped talking.

Worried about Su Qingqi's safety, Zhao Wumian galloped on his horse.

Since leaving Jin and coming to the Central Plains, the situation is no longer as tense as in Jin... At least no one will stop and question us on the official road, and we won't feel like we're being watched in the dark when we're resting.

In addition, as they got closer to the capital, the roads along the way became more prosperous. From time to time, there were fights in the wild, but they were just the common martial arts competitions. Zhao Wumian even saw events such as "ring matches" and "martial arts competitions to win a bride" in many towns and cities he encountered along the way.

Because a master in Guixuan Valley had developed a method that could increase food production several times, people rarely starve to death in this world.

As long as people are not starving to death, other things like entertainment, economy, population and so on will naturally develop. So even though it is deep winter now, the Rong tribe is guarding the pass, the emperor is still gone, and the world is moving around the throne. From the overall situation, it is clearly a precursor to chaos, but if you look closely, the people are still peaceful and prosperous.

Therefore, compared with Jin, the Central Plains is simply a tourist destination with vast seas and skies and blooming flowers in spring, which made Zhao Wumian's tense nerves relax a little... After all, this world seems to have a pure sense of the underworld, rather than being mixed with political conspiracies and intrigues all the time.

However, Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu were in a hurry to travel, and they only rested for a few hours along the way when their horses were tired. Then they galloped non-stop towards the capital. Along the official road, no one stopped them. Therefore, two days later, at dusk, a majestic city gradually emerged before Zhao Wumian's eyes in the twilight.

Zhao Wumian's nerves, which had been briefly relaxed by the scenery along the way, tensed up again... This was the center of everything in this world, Chief Dong Yan was here, Su Qingqi was also here, and the mystery of his identity would also be solved here.

Zhao Wumian even felt as if he was not ready yet... According to the plan, he should first help Luo Chaoyan return to Beijing, help her ascend the throne, and then deal with his own affairs.

But now that I'm here, there's no reason to hesitate.

However, when they got closer to the capital, they realized that the place was also full of panic and tension, as if the emperor's BMW had been snatched away in the street by some ignorant knight.

Anyone entering the city must submit a pass and have their identity strictly verified. The guards at the city gate, wearing black armor and holding weapons, glance coldly at all those entering the city, as if they want to poke a hole in them with their eyes.

"This is natural. Emperor Jingzheng passed away not long ago and the crown prince fell into a coma. Even if the court did not say it explicitly, we knew there must be something fishy. It is also normal to strictly check the identities of those entering the city at this moment." Zhao Wumian turned over and dismounted, looking at the long queue of people in front of the city gate, he felt embarrassed.

It is easy to understand Guan Yunshu’s identity and it is easy for him to enter the city, but he is suspected to be a traitor, how can he enter the city?

Luo Chaoyan had forged a pass for him at the beginning, but with such strict inspection at this moment, he might not be able to get away with it. Once he was found to be wrong, he would inevitably cause trouble.

Guan Yunshu also frowned slightly and tilted his head to look at Zhao Wumian, "Look at this scene, even if we pretend to be a couple again, I don't think we can get in."

"So you've thought about pretending again." Zhao Wumian said this, but in his heart he was wondering whether he should sneak into the capital.

Guan Yunshu frowned slightly and was about to get angry, but he saw several luxurious carriages coming towards them along the official road. One of the carriages suddenly stopped, and then a very familiar and charming voice came from inside.

"This young master, do you want to go to the capital?"

Zhao Wumian glanced at the frame, wondering who this person was? He was talking to him for no reason, was he trying to trick him?

Upon closer inspection, one can see that the carriage frame is luxurious, with even the window curtains patterned with gold threads. The horses pulling the carriage are also in excellent spirits, obviously fine horses that are priceless. The carriage is surrounded by guards riding BMWs and carrying swords and knives. They have a calm and restrained aura, and are all masters, and there are quite a few of them.

With this attitude, even if you tell Zhao Wumian that the person sitting in the carriage is the queen of the current dynasty, he will believe it.

But it was obviously impossible. Emperor Jingzheng had just passed away, and the prince had gotten into such trouble. The empress would most likely not be able to come out, and could only be a lonely widow in the deep palace.

At this moment, the familiar and beautiful voice came from the carriage again, saying something shocking: "Young Master, are you Zhao Wumian? The warrior who once worked for Huanzhen Pavilion and robbed the King of Jin's Thousand-Li Horse in the street?"
