Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 250 Cang Yue (End)

It was already late at night when we returned from the cemetery.

Zhao Wumian first went to the palace and had someone investigate Chen Shuhan's identity and interpersonal relationships. Starting from this line, he followed the clues and tried to eradicate the remnants of Dong Yan's gang.

The empress dowager briefly explained the situation to Luo Chaoyan, and after reassuring the two women, she went to the Su Mansion.

Chief Inspector Su was still in the Detective Department, interrogating people all night long. Mrs. Su had already gone to bed, but the dim lights were still on in Su Qingqi's room and the windows were open.

Zhao Wumian stood outside the window and looked inside. Su Qingqi was sitting at the table, her shoulders trembling... She was crying.

Su Qingqi did not notice Zhao Wumian. She also did not expect that at this time, Zhao Wumian did not spend the night in the palace, but returned to the Su Mansion.

Zhao Wumian stood in the rain, looked at Su Qingqi for a while, then stood outside the house holding his sword, leaning against the wall, looking up at the rain.

Raindrops are falling.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Qingqi stopped crying, blew out the lights, and prepared to go to bed. Then Zhao Wumian knocked on the door.

Su Qingqi was slightly startled, and opened the door to look inside, looking surprised, "Why... didn't the young master stay overnight in the palace..."

She thought of her red eyes and felt embarrassed, with a sense of embarrassment rising in her heart.

Zhao Wumian said, "I have been here for a long time and have been listening to you crying."

Su Qingqi was stunned again, "Why..."

Zhao Wumian pointed outside the house and said, "I like the sound of raindrops falling on rainy days, but tonight I realized that when Miss Su cries, it's even more beautiful than the sound of rain."

Su Qingqi was dissatisfied, "So you hid and listened to me crying... and laughed at me? Besides, what's so nice about crying..."

"Don't talk about crying. I am happy whatever you do."

Su Qingqi didn't understand. It seemed like a love talk, but it didn't seem to be. She got angry and said, "Zhao Wumian, I feel so upset right now. When I think about not being able to see you for a long time in the future, I feel so angry. If you say something irritating again, I will definitely cry again, unscrupulously and loudly, and even wake up my mother."

Zhao Wumian smiled at her, "Cry more now, and you will cry less in the future."

Su Qingqi hit Zhao Wumian's shoulder with her fist, and then laughed with Zhao Wumian.

Only then did Zhao Wumian ask, "Why are you crying?"

Su Qingqi didn't know why she was no longer depressed. She pulled Zhao Wumian to sit down at the table, closed the doors and windows, and said, "Sir, have you guessed who that person is?"

"Why do you always make me guess... Could it be Xiao Yuanmu? I've seen Xiao Yuanmu's portrait before, and she was obviously a woman in her twenties, but now she looks like a child... Tianshan Tonglao? Has she practiced the Eight Desolate and Six Combinations Immortal Changchun Gong?"

Su Qingqi snorted, "I don't want to talk about that woman. She's really annoying. Go ask her yourself tomorrow night... But that woman is quite powerful. I plan to go to Shu with her."

"You won't come with me?"

Su Qingqi became serious, "I will soon be able to achieve unity between man and nature, but if I stay by your side all the time, I'm afraid I won't be able to break through the barrier."

"There's no other way. If there's danger, I will definitely stand in front of you." Zhao Wumian's tone was full of pride.

Su Qingqi smiled again. She felt happy chatting with Zhao Wumian, and all the sadness in her heart disappeared.

When Zhao Wumian was not around, she cried sadly.

When Zhao Wumian came, she thought again, it's a shame for a man of the underworld to cry all the time... it's inappropriate.

It's really baffling.

Su Qingqi told Zhao Wumian her thoughts.

Zhao Wumian thought about it, then asked, "Miss Su, what do you think is the reason?"

"Because you can say something interesting to make me happy?"

Zhao Wumian said that Su Qingqi was stupid. They had been together for so long, but she had not learned how to say sweet words from Zhao Wumian. At this time, she should say something more touching to describe him.

"More touching words?"

"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely say that," Zhao Wumian nodded, poured himself a glass of water, then held the empty glass and said with a smile:
"It rains a lot in Shu. I went to Chengdu to find Dao Kui, ready to fight him with real swords and guns, but I found that the guy fled. I ran around the street in the rain for several laps, but couldn't find him. I was soaked and angry, so I ran to a tavern to take shelter from the rain and warm myself by the stove.

I found Miss Su, whom I hadn't seen for a long time, warming herself by the fire in the tavern. All of a sudden, all the bad feelings in my heart disappeared. Instead, I began to thank Dao Kui and the rain. If not for this, I wouldn't have met you... How does it sound?"

Su Qingqi thought about it, then chuckled, "In your opinion, meeting me is much more important than being a sword master."

Zhao Wumian snapped his fingers, "That's it...would you like to try it too?"

"How about we read those nasty books together?"

Zhao Wumian was stunned, "Why?"

"I want to watch it with you, Master."

So Zhao Wumian and Su Qingqi left the Su Mansion and went to look for obscene books... There was no other way, as all of Zhao Wumian's pornographic books had been confiscated by the Empress Dowager.

After searching three bookstores in a row, they were all closed. Zhao Wumian sneaked in and searched for a long time, but still couldn't find the book.

Later, the two were so hungry that they had a hotpot together in a restaurant that was also open at night, and then continued to look for obscene books.

The fourth bookstore was also open late at night. The shopkeeper was a lady boss. She happily found a vulgar book called "Legends of Jianghu" for Zhao Wumian. The two returned to the Su Mansion, closed the doors and windows, lit a lamp, and put their heads together to read the pornographic book.

"Legends of Jianghu Beauties", as the name suggests, there is a list of beauties in the world, called "Legends of Jianghu Beauties", and it tells the story of a flower thief who uses all means to steal the beauties on the list.
There are ten female protagonists in total, including the empress, the empress dowager, the heroine, the witch, the master, etc.

Zhao Wumian thought it was boring and not as good as a short movie, but Su Qingqi watched it with great interest. She told Zhao Wumian directly what she thought in her heart, saying, "These women are so stupid that they can get away with this."

"Oh~ What kind of posture is this?"

"Hmm? Defile the harem? Will the young master do the same in the future?"

"It's different inside? Is it different inside every woman? Some are straight, some are curvy, some are tight, some are loose... Is it really like that?"

Zhao Wumian replied: "I don't know either. After all, I have never had sex with other women."

"Then Sir, take down the master as soon as possible, and tell me the difference between me and her when we meet next time."

The yellow light shone on Su Qingqi's pretty face. Zhao Wumian felt that compared to this pornographic book, Miss Su beside him was more beautiful.

Soon the two of them finished reading the entire obscene book. Then Su Qingqi flipped the book with one hand and gently pulled the string of her skirt with the other hand, with a serious expression, ready to study.

Later, Su Qingqi remembered something and said that she asked for a few more pairs of the 'black and white thin pants' that Zhao Wumian had originally customized from Jinxiufang.

The two slept until dawn.

A hundred miles south of the capital, there is a mountain area.

There is a village here called Banling Village.

It is not a remarkable village. The reason why it is called this name is because a hundred years ago, there seemed to be a swordsman in the village who was known for "flattening half the mountain with one sword".

Of course, the villagers had no idea whether the swordsman was really that powerful or whether this person actually existed, but that was how the rumor spread.

The adults didn't take it seriously, after all they all had work to do, but the little kids in the village believed it without a doubt.

In the eyes of the kids, being able to 'flatten half a mountain with one sword' was the most amazing thing... After all, they would occasionally steal kitchen knives from home and chop rocks, but not only would they fail to chop the rocks, they would even break the knives, and then be hung up and beaten by their mothers.

But recently, the most powerful figure in the hearts of the dolls has been shaken.

Occasionally, people from the martial arts world would pass by the village, and while chatting, the deeds of Wei Ming Hou would also spread to the village... and when people from the martial arts world talked about these martial arts stories, they always liked to exaggerate.

Words like "Weiming Hou cut the moon in half with one knife, and shattered the snow curtain in the capital with one sword, making the capital clear" came out of his mouth.

The adults listened to it for fun, and the children believed it to be true, and they often argued about who was more powerful, Wei Ming Hou or the swordsman.

The kids all had their own opinions, except for one little girl who always said, "My dad is the best."

The kids asked her who her father was?

The little girl couldn't answer... She didn't know who her father was, but she had seen her father.

Every year at the end of the year, a man with no facial features, wearing a green shirt and a vermilion wine gourd hanging around his waist, would secretly come to the village to see her.

Sometimes the man stays for a few days, and sometimes stays until the Lantern Festival.

Every time he either lay on a tree drinking or took a nap in the haystack.

The man had never spoken to the little girl, but she knew that the man must be her father. It was just because her father was a very powerful hero in the martial arts world and needed to do something big in the martial arts world, so he passed by the house several times without entering.

Every time she asked her mother, her mother said the same thing.

So even though the man seemed to have no face, the little girl was not afraid at all... Who would be afraid of their own father?
Dad also came to the Lantern Festival this year. When the little girl was arguing with the kids in the village, she said that her dad was definitely more powerful than the man named Wei Ming Hou.

When Dad heard it, he sat cross-legged on the tree and laughed.

It was the first time the little girl heard her father speak. She said, "Wow, you can speak now. You don't even have a mouth. I thought you were mute."

Daddy ignored her and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The little girl was feeling depressed, sad and wanted to cry. This was the first time she spoke to her father, but she quickly cheered herself up.

Over the years, she had gotten used to her father coming to see her but not talking to her. Although she was not happy and wanted to talk to her father...she had learned to endure it.

There are many unsatisfactory things in life, and everyone should learn to endure them. This is something the little girl has long understood.

The little girl was different from other children in the village. She was a mature and considerate child. Before she was ten years old, she could help her mother with work.

Washing clothes, cooking, growing vegetables, repairing roofs, chopping wood, even hunting...she can do it all.

Now, another day has passed, an ordinary day.

At night, most villagers don't light lamps... Lamps are expensive, so they would not light them if they could. Although the little girl's family has a lot of money, her mother never uses it, so their life is hard.

But the little girl never complained because she had a mother who loved her.

Fortunately, there are many stars tonight and the moon is very big. Even without lights, there is enough moonlight to illuminate the way ahead.

The little girl was carrying a basket on her back, her hands dirty, as she walked along a country path, looking around. The basket was filled with wild vegetables, which were already two-thirds full.

She would not rest until her basket was filled with wild vegetables, because her mother liked to eat wild vegetables, but there were only so many of them, and if she didn't pick more, they would have been picked by others tomorrow.

Next to the basket behind her hung a small wooden sword, which was her only hobby and enjoyment.

Another one is to look at the moon... Because the little girl's name contains the word "moon", so she likes the moon.

The little girl's surname is Gu and her given name is Yuehan, which is completely different from the names of those tough guys in the village.

Good to hear.

This was also something she was a little proud of.

My mother told me that this name was given to her by my father.

The moonlight is cold, and the woman looks at her own shadow and thinks of her lover.

The little girl didn’t understand this sentence yet, but she thought it was very powerful.

Tap tap tap————

In the moonlight, a figure, leading a horse, walked slowly from the opposite side of the country road.

The horseshoe is crisp.

A horse was a rare sight in the village, so the little girl looked at it out of curiosity.

He was wearing a green shirt, a vermilion wine gourd, and a bamboo hat, but underneath the hat was a face without any facial features. However, this time, he had a funny mask hanging around his waist.

The little girl stood there in a daze, staring for a long time at the man in green clothes who was leading the horse towards them.

The man in green clothes led the horse and stopped in front of the little girl.

The horse snorted and looked at the wild vegetables in the little girl's basket. The man in green clothes was very tall, and the little girl had to look up hard to see his face.

In the past ten years, the Man in Green Shirt had never appeared in front of the little girl after the Lantern Festival.

In the past ten years, the Green Shirt Man has never spoken to the little girl once.

And tonight, he appeared in front of the little girl and spoke to her.

"Dad defeated Wei Ming Hou."

This was the first sentence the Green Shirt Man said to the little girl. It was in a very ordinary, middle-aged voice.

The little girl tried hard to look up at the man in green. This should have been a happy thing, but the little girl could not say anything at the moment.

The man in green took out a piece of announcement paper from his arms and handed it to the little girl.

The little girl can read and write because her mother taught her.

On the rice paper, there is a portrait of the Green-Shirted Guest, and also written about everything that happened at the Banquet of All Nations. It can indeed be considered that Weiming Hou was defeated. After all, in the end, the people who defeated the Green-Shirted Guest were the two top martial arts masters of the imperial court, not Weiming Hou.

It is inevitable that people feel that ever since the Green Shirted Man communicated with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, Marquis Weiming has been unable to intervene.

But at the end, it clearly stated that the Green Shirt Man had been executed by the imperial court... If the Green Shirt Man was already dead, then who was the person in front of him?

The little girl asked this question.

The man in green shirt smiled slightly. "If Dad caused such a big incident and was able to escape, wouldn't the court lose face? They don't want to embarrass themselves, so they said that Dad was killed."

The little girl didn't quite understand what these words were, but she firmly believed that her father was a great hero in the martial arts world and was definitely someone who could manipulate the imperial court at will.

So the little girl looked at the man in green, and tears as big as beans slowly flowed from her eyes.

Although she was crying, happiness in her heart was like wild vegetables in a basket, breaking through the soil.

The man in green patted the little girl on the head, and then walked home with her while the moonlight could still illuminate the way.

"Dad obviously doesn't have a mouth, so how does he speak?"

"Oh, this... is just a mask." The man in green raised his hand and pulled on his face, pulling off the human skin mask.

"Why are you wearing this?"

"No one else can look at my face, only you and mother can."

"Really?"

"Dad never lies."

The horse led by the man in green shirt followed two figures, one big and one small, and lowered its head to eat the wild vegetables in the basket of the little girl. The little girl was unaware of it.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky.

The City of Impermanence is named after the Black and White Impermanence.

White Impermanence and Black Impermanence follow you like a shadow.

Can, the number one assassin in Wuchang City, suddenly appeared beside the city lord Lan ten years ago. He is also like a shadow following him, always wearing a funny mask. He has high martial arts skills and seems to be no less capable than the city lord Lan, but he is suspected to be mute and never speaks.

Was it Lan or Can who died on the ship?

No one knows whether the person who appeared in front of the little girl is her biological father Lan, or Can who came to fulfill the last wish of his old friend.

But only one thing is certain.

'Lan' is dead.

Therefore, no enemy of Lan would come here again in the world.

No matter what the truth is, the bright moon in the night sky is eternal. Under the moon, there are joys and sorrows, separations and reunions. Some people can still be reunited, but some people cannot recognize each other even after being reunited.

In the capital, at Zhuwu Lake, Zhao Wumian sat on the lakeshore, his hands supporting his back on the soil, looking up at the same moon in the sky.

Above the lake, a light vapor rises, moonlight shines down, and the water is hazy.

It was late at night and the lakeshore was quiet.

"Zhao Wumian."

Someone called him from behind.

Looking back, Xiao Yuanmu was wearing a white dress, holding two jugs of wine in her hands, standing behind Zhao Wumian. She had a faint smile on her face, but there was an indescribable meaning in her eyes.

Looking at her, Zhao Wumian felt a palpitation in his heart for some reason.

The two stared at each other for a long time in silence.

After a moment, Zhao Wumian spoke first, "Are you Xiao Yuanmu?"

Xiao Yuanmu smiled at him, "The most powerful and powerful demon woman in the martial arts world, the leader of the rebels who is regarded as a thorn in the side of the imperial court, in your eyes, could it be that I am just a little girl like you?"

"If it's not, then it's not. If it's yes, then it's yes. You're just saying all this nonsense and letting me guess..." Zhao Wumian looked Xiao Yuanmu up and down, and then said, "Then I guess it is."

Xiao Yuanmu sat down next to Zhao Wumian, picked up the wine bottle, unscrewed the cork, and poured a sip into his pink lips, "Why?"

"Even if you're not, I hope you are."

Zhao Wumian also took a pot of wine and took a sip.

"Because you are eager to know who you are?" Xiao Yuanmu looked at the mist on the lake, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the West Lake in Lin'an that year.

"No."

"Huh?" Xiao Yuanmu was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at Zhao Wumian.

Zhao Wumian didn't look at her, but just stared at the lake and drank silently, "Do you know the innate all-poison body?"

"I know...what's wrong?"

"Before I lost my memory, I don't know who fed me the Cold Jade Gu. Later, by chance, I met a master from Guixuan Valley. She helped me use the Cold Jade Gu to cultivate half of the Innate Ten Thousand Poison Body. But the reason why it is only half is because the poison is deeply buried in my body. If it weren't for the Jiuli Gu and Tianxuan Dust, the poison would have erupted sooner or later."

Xiao Yuanmu's expression changed. "The poison of the innate all-poison body is something that even a martial arts master with a body as powerful as heaven and earth cannot ignore... You, how long do you have?"

"Probably less than a month."

Xiao Yuanmu stood up and looked at Zhao Wumian in disbelief, "Less than a month!?"

Zhao Wumian looked calm, "I'm dying, so I want to see Xiao Yuanmu. It's not that I'm eager to know who I am, but I just feel that she must be very important to me. If I can't see her before I die..."

Zhao Wumian paused, then shook his head, "Won't Xiao Yuanmu regret it for the rest of his life?"

"I just became obsessed with magic during my retreat, which is why I turned into a little baby. It's not that I can't recover, it's just that the energy consumed..."

Xiao Yuanmu's tone was inevitably anxious, but before she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Wumian turn his head to look at her and smile.

"I'm kidding. In fact, the poison will not erupt for another two months. Xiao Yuanmu, oh Xiao Yuanmu, you are the most charming woman in the martial arts world, and I played you around with me. How could you be fooled by me so easily? Have you been in the martial arts world for nothing these years? Hahaha..."

Bang.

Plop————

Zhao Wumian's laughter stopped abruptly and he was kicked into the lake by Xiao Yuanmu.

The water splashed everywhere, startling the birds in the bamboo forest.

Xiao Yuanmu's face turned red and white, he gritted his teeth, stared at the bubbling water with raised eyebrows, and finally smiled inexplicably.

The smile is hard to describe.

"Zhao Wumian, Zhao Wumian, you are like this every year. It was like this before, and it is still like this now..."

Zhao Wumian climbed out of the lake, lay on the shore, spit out some lake water, and took a few breaths.

"Xiao, Xiao Yuanmu, can't you be more considerate of me? My injury is not healed yet."

Xiao Yuanmu sat down slowly, sipped his wine, and said calmly: "There is still the female emperor in the court who cares about you, right? One more or one less won't make a difference."

Zhao Wumian was silent, lying on the lakeside, and did not get up. He just tilted his head to look at the moon reflected on the lake and said, "The moonlight is nice tonight."

"I'm not here to enjoy the scenery with you."

"No, what I mean is that your martial art is called Wan Yue Xian. Every time I see the moon, I think of you."

Xiao Yuanmu was slightly stunned, and then glanced at Zhao Wumian, "Where is Miss Su's Yuehua Sword?"

Zhao Wumian was silent, then changed the subject, "So can you tell me about my story?"

"Want to know?"

"kindness."

"Call sister and listen."

"Then you can call me dad first. It just so happens that your current figure is quite suitable. If we travel together in the future, we can also act as father and daughter..."

Plop————

The water splashed everywhere, and ripples spread along the surface of the lake, rippling towards the center of the lake. The bright moon reflected in the center of the lake rose and fell slightly with the waves.

Some people cannot recognize each other even after being reunited... But even if they cannot recognize each other, a thought will involuntarily spread in their hearts at the first sight of her.

Oh, this little girl, although I don’t remember her, I know her.

and also……

Zhao Wumian lay on his back on the lake, staring at the night sky expressionlessly, then glanced at Xiao Yuanmu who was sitting on the shore drinking, and said:

"Xiao Yuanmu."

"kindness?"

"What was our relationship before?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Really?"

"I'm not like you. I won't lie."

"Okay, but I think I should like you."

Xiao Yuanmu was stunned, staring at Zhao Wumian, and asked after a few seconds: "Why do you think so?"

"The first martial art that I recalled was Wan Yue Xian... I must have practiced this martial art more seriously than the other martial arts." Zhao Wumian guessed.

Xiao Yuanmu took another sip of wine, then nodded lightly with a calm expression.

The moonlight shines down.

There are no words that can express Xiao Yuanmu's feelings at this moment.

Oh, right.

Just as Zhao Wumian said.

The moonlight is nice tonight.
