Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 295: Simple People
The carrier pigeon was sent by Chen Qiyuan after he escaped from Ding Jingcheng's hands. He found the Detective Division on the spot and entrusted them to send it. The pigeon contained information about Ding Jingcheng's intention to capture the empress dowager alive and force Zhao Wumian to show up.

However, these carrier pigeons certainly don't have a nose like the Snow Owl that can smell something from dozens of miles away, but they have the advantage of large numbers. If dozens of them are released at a time, the information can spread throughout the Shu Detective Bureau within a day, and Zhao Wumian will always know... Now that he has seen it, it can only be regarded as missing the step of 'Zhao Wumian learned about this from the detective of the Detective Bureau'.

He picked up the carrier pigeon and took the mailbox off its leg. There was a gold-plated "Li" character on the outside of the mailbox, which was also the logo of the Detective Department. However, the word "Li" was usually printed in ink, but now it was gold-plated, which meant that the information was extremely urgent... Otherwise, Zhao Wumian would not care about this carrier pigeon.

After opening the letter tube and quickly scanning the letter, Zhao Wumian's cheerful mood suddenly sank. He couldn't help but curse, "Fuck his mother!"

Xiao Yuanmu heard Zhao Wumian cursing outside the courtyard, and peeked in from the window, frowning slightly, "Don't say bad words... What happened that makes you so angry?"

She didn't think that Zhao Wumian was angry because she interfered with his relationship with Guan Yunshu... Given their familiarity, Xiao Yuanmu knew that if Zhao Wumian was really angry, it would only be because she didn't care about Zhao Wumian's flirtatious words with other women.

"Ding Jingcheng of the Western Region Saint Church, the former Five Mountains, traveled thousands of miles to Shu to kill me. Look at the time, he had already set out when Longquan fought Yangshe Yin." Zhao Wumian let go of the carrier pigeon, held the message in his hand and turned over the window, saying, "But he didn't know where I was, so he wanted to go to Qingcheng Mountain to capture the Queen Mother and force me to show up."

Xiao Yuanmu listened quietly and then smiled faintly, "Isn't this good? When Ding Jingcheng captures the Queen Mother, you can save her as a hero. Wouldn't that bring you one step closer to climbing into the Queen Mother's bed?"

Do I need to get closer? I already climbed up a few days ago... But I really can't say this to Xiao Yuanmu.

Given Xiao Yuanmu's personality, he will not take action against the Queen Mother for the time being due to Zhao Wumian, but he certainly doesn't care if other forces take action, and may even enjoy the results.

Zhao Wumian had no choice but to wave his hand slightly and came to the bedside. Under Guan Yunshu's direct gaze, he raised his hand and placed it against her palm, continuing to heal his wounds. "This matter cannot be delayed. I will help you recover a little and then we will go back to Qingcheng as soon as possible."

Guan Yunshu looked at the two people putting their hands together, and felt the healing energy from Zhao Wumian, and asked: "Since you are so anxious, why don't you leave now... Although my injuries are serious, I won't die on the spot."

Guan Yunshu thought Zhao Wumian would say something like 'she is also important', but Xiao Yuanmu, who was standing behind Zhao Wumian, answered for him.

"Ding Jingcheng's plan was foiled by Chen Qiyuan. He can either shoot immediately and capture the Queen Mother, or give up the plan and work slowly. Or he can kill us and catch us off guard...

At present, I don't know what choice Ding Jingcheng will make, but if he chooses to kill him, then you'd better recover as much as you can... Focus your mind, close your eyes and heal your wounds. I can temporarily ignore him using my skills to heal another woman. "

Zhao Wumian indeed thought so. Although he was extremely anxious, he was not so anxious that he lost his mind... Otherwise, he would have been killed by Luo Shuzhi.

Guan Yunshu glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, then at Zhao Wumian who was practicing Qigong with his eyes closed. He was silent for a few seconds, but he was thinking... Xiao Yuanmu had just called Zhao Wumian "Xiao Yuankong". Although he didn't know if they were brother and sister, they must have grown up together. Now, even if Zhao Wumian had lost his memory and didn't remember Xiao Yuanmu, Xiao Yuanmu still knew what Zhao Wumian was thinking.

This kind of familiarity and tacit understanding of each other without saying much... shouldn't it be between her and Zhao Wumian?

Guan Yunshu felt a lump in her heart, but she was not an emotional woman. After thinking for a moment, she realized that she was in a bad mood, and it seemed that she was the so-called "jealousy".

Guan Yunshu reflected silently in his heart that this was the poison of anger and should be abandoned.

I went into the Tianren Pavilion at that time because I admitted that I had romantic feelings for Zhao Wumian... Now that I have openly admitted it, the next thing I should do is to discover his feelings.

Being jealous not only violates the precept of anger, but also makes one fall deeper and deeper into relationships between men and women, which is not conducive to enlightenment and is not conducive to Buddhism.

Guan Yunshu then closed his eyes calmly, cleared away all distracting thoughts, and concentrated on healing his wounds.

At this time, Zhao Wumian said, "I really doubt whether you can read minds."

This is talking to Xiao Yuanmu.

Guan Yunshu felt a faint, nameless anger rising in his heart.

Xiao Yuanmu sat on the chair, fanning himself with a round fan out of boredom, and said impatiently, "I know everything about you... so stop talking nonsense and focus on healing."

"Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? I was traveling around the world before, and I left you in Lin'an... You don't know what I did specifically, right?"

"I don't know what you did, but knowing you...are you satisfied with this answer?"

"If your tone could be more gentle and virtuous..."

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yunshu suddenly opened his eyes, stared at Zhao Wumian, and told Zhao Wumian with his eyes, "Stop talking, okay?"

Zhao Wumian noticed her gaze...When he was with Xiao Yuanmu, he couldn't help but say whatever he thought of, and he was very relaxed. But Guan Yunshu must have felt bad after hearing these words.

Although this proved that Guan Yunshu cared about him very much, Zhao Wumian was currently preoccupied with the Queen Mother's matter and could not be happy for the time being. He also had no mood to tease Guan Yunshu, so he simply responded with a "sorry" look.

Guan Yunshu lowered his eyebrows and only after receiving Zhao Wumian's apology did he begin to reflect on why he had violated the precept of anger again.

But Zhao Wumian felt a very sharp gaze behind him. Turning back, he saw Xiao Yuanmu covering the lower half of his face with a round fan. His dark pupils were in the corners of his eyes, and he squinted at him with a cold expression that seemed to be contemptuous and condescending.

Huh? Could Xiao Yuanmu understand the eye contact between him and Guan Yunshu?
Zhao Wumian didn’t know, and didn’t dare to know.

He looked at her in feigned confusion.

Xiao Yuanmu withdrew his gaze, picked up the teapot on the table with an expressionless face, and silently poured himself some water.

Guan Yunshu suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Wumian, "Your palms are sweating a lot."

"Really? I've always wanted to touch your hand before... maybe it's because I've never touched your hand before." Zhao Wumian wanted to say 'I've always wanted to touch your hand before', but Xiao Yuanmu behind him forced him to change his words temporarily, "I can't help but sweat from nervousness."

"You want to lie to me again. You're obviously afraid that Xiao Yuanmu will be angry." Guan Yunshu had a calm expression and ruthlessly exposed Zhao Wumian's lies.

Only at this moment did she realize... Oh, it turns out that Zhao Wumian cares so much about Xiao Yuanmu... He clearly doesn't remember her at all.

Before Zhao Wumian could speak, Xiao Yuanmu looked past Zhao Wumian and looked at Guan Yunshu. He raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "How do you know he is lying to you?"

Xiao Yuanmu has been deceived by Zhao Wumian since he was a child.

"Is it hard to tell?" Guan Yunshu pretended to be puzzled. "Can't you tell it just by listening?"

"How come I didn't know that Dong Wen's disciples also have the ability to judge people's hearts?"

"I can't judge people's hearts. I'm just too familiar with him." Guan Yunshu answered impartially.

As soon as he finished speaking, the room suddenly fell into dead silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Xiao Yuanmu's expression still had a somewhat interested smile, his eyes looking into Guan Yunshu's eyes, but the face behind the fan was not smiling at all.

Guan Yunshu was fearless and looked into her eyes.

When their eyes met, there seemed to be some flashes of swords and sabers.

Zhao Wumian's back also began to sweat. Why was it that these two people, who had never met before and had no grudges against each other, could repeatedly confront each other and speak with such thorns?

The pressure was much greater than when Shen Xiangge and Su Qingqi had quarreled.

He said, "I put my palms together with hers. Is she nervous? Just look at her heartbeat, right?"

Guan Yunshu shook her head slightly, "It has nothing to do with heartbeats. I know what you are thinking. Are you afraid that I will fight with Xiao Yuanmu now? It's inexplicable. I am a disciple of Buddhism. How could I fight with others for no reason?"

Xiao Yuanmu's gaze became increasingly cold, with a chill spreading to Zhao Wumian's back. She put down her round fan, revealing her pretty face, and asked with a smile, "Zhao Wumian, how long have you known this woman?"

"It's been almost half a year..."

"You met him after you lost your memory? Didn't you meet him when I was in Lin'an and you were traveling around the world?"

Guan Yunshu frowned slightly, "I and Zhao Wumian are innocent and have never had any affair. Your questions are like catching an adulterer and interrogating him."

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yuanmu looked at her.

"No, I said I was innocent, and I will never lie." "Could it be me who just admitted that I was in love with Zhao Wumian?"

"Having affection doesn't mean there is any ambiguous relationship between him and me." Guan Yunshu shook her head calmly, "I know he is always thinking about tearing off my monk's robe and licking my body... this word is a bit dirty, but he knows I don't want to, so he has never done that. I also believe he won't force me."

Guan Yunshu was speaking for Zhao Wumian, telling Xiao Yuanmu that there was really nothing between her and Zhao Wumian, but Xiao Yuanmu's mood became increasingly gloomy as Guan Yunshu spoke.

What? You know Zhao Wumian so well, why are you still saying "I believe he won't force me..."

Zhao Wumian couldn't help but retort, "Can you please stop describing me as a sex-hungry ghost? What's the point of licking or not..."

"Don't you want to?" Guan Yunshu looked at him.

Zhao Wumian replied, "No."

Guan Yunshu looked away calmly and looked at Xiao Yuanmu again, "Look, his heart rate doesn't even speed up when he lies."

This time, Xiao Yuanmu couldn't even keep the smile on his face, his expression was visibly cold.

“Stop, stop, stop…” Zhao Wumian couldn’t help but raise his hand, “Now is not the time to talk about these things, right? The Queen Mother is still in Qingcheng. I’m really worried about whether you can concentrate on healing first…”

"Empress Dowager? (X2)" The two women looked at Zhao Wumian at the same time.

Guan Yunshu said, "I forgot to ask you, you should not have done anything to offend your superiors, insult the Queen Mother, or defile the harem, right?"

Xiao Yuanmu also narrowed her eyes and said nothing, but if Zhao Wumian dared to answer "yes", she was afraid that she would beat Zhao Wumian up on the spot and then leave in anger.

You knew the conflict between me and the imperial family, but you still climbed into the Queen Mother's bed? Before you met me in the capital, you had sex with some woman. Considering that you don't remember anything, I can let it go. But after meeting me, if you dare to have sex with the Queen Mother...

Zhao Wumian's words were stuck in his throat, knowing that if he said a wrong word, Xiao Yuanmu would really leave in anger, so he said, "Miss Shen and I are in love... You have also met Miss Shen, and the Queen Mother is her aunt. If I attack the Queen Mother, does it mean that I should also attack your master?"

Xiao Yuanmu's master is Jiu'er's sister. She was the former Palace Master of Taixuan Palace who helped Zhao Wumian to contain Guiyi Zhenren and steal the Naraku Red Silk when Xiao Yuanmu was in seclusion due to the side effects of his martial arts... She is also the elder who watched Zhao Wumian grow up.

Although she and Xiao Yuanmu claim to be master and disciple and have no blood relationship, in fact, she raised Xiao Yuanmu with great difficulty and is undoubtedly Xiao Yuanmu's mother in the practical sense.

When Xiao Yuanmu mentioned her, he immediately stood up, his face extremely cold, unable to maintain his composure any longer, and stepped forward to pull Zhao Wumian's ears, but considering the presence of Guan Yunshu, an 'outsider', in order to save some face for Zhao Wumian, he put his raised hand down again, and warned in a cold tone: "She is my mother! You are not allowed to mention this!"

Guan Yunshu glanced at Zhao Wumian coldly... Jiu'er's sister was not her mother, so she naturally wouldn't be as emotional as Xiao Yuanmu, so she realized that Zhao Wumian was avoiding the main point and changing the subject.

Her expression became colder and colder, and her chest began to rise and fall.

Zhao Wumian noticed Guan Yunshu's expression and began to regret why he let the two of them meet... The two women knew him better than the other, and Zhao Wumian couldn't hide any secrets in front of them.

He said to Xiao Yuanmu: "So... after I lost my memory, I have been trying to find a way to see you. Now that I have finally got what I wanted, I don't want to do anything that will make you leave in anger."

This was a lie. Zhao Wumian had an affair with the Queen Mother, but it wasn't entirely a lie. After all, Zhao Wumian hadn't been sure that Xiao Yuanmu would react so strongly... It was understandable, after all, the national hatred and family feuds of the previous generation were on Xiao Yuanmu's shoulders... Zhao Wumian had not considered the matter with the Queen Mother carefully enough.

He secretly reflected in his heart. He wanted Xiao Yuanmu to get along with the Queen Mother, Luo Chaoyan and others. This was an unavoidable link that he would have to face sooner or later. He was now beginning to wade through the water...

Xiao Yuanmu glanced at Zhao Wumian and then looked away, "You'd better be."

Zhao Wumian glanced at Guan Yunshu.

Guan Yunshu curled up the corners of his mouth imperceptibly... Zhao Wumian meant that he hoped Guan Yunshu would not expose his lies.

Zhao Wumian was lying, Xiao Yuanmu couldn't see through it, but she could see through... What? Zhao Wumian's childhood sweetheart was nothing more than that.

Guan Yunshu's anger dissipated, and he was too lazy to argue with Xiao Yuanmu anymore. He looked away and didn't say anything more.

But Xiao Yuanmu was relentless, looking at Guan Yunshu and saying, "He knew I was the Palace Master of Taixuan Palace, but he still tried to get me to go to the capital... He didn't want to help me fight against Li Fuchen, but simply wanted to see me every day when he opened his eyes... This man is very naive, he is now a prince, a martial artist, but he is still afraid of loneliness."

Although it seemed like he was blaming Zhao Wumian, it sounded like he was showing off.

Guan Yunshu glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, then smiled at Zhao Wumian and said, "She wants to rebel against Li Fuchen, but you and Luo Chaoyan also have feelings for each other. Now you are caught in the middle, I'm afraid it's very difficult. I know you are in a difficult situation... If you are tired, you can come to Xiaoxitian. I will definitely not force you to do anything."

"Really? You won't force me to become a vegetarian, shave my head, kill people, marry, and have children?"

Guan Yunshu looked at Xiao Yuanmu, "He is indeed very simple."

bang————

Zhao Wumian was thrown out of the window again by the angry Xiao Yuanmu.

Zhao Wumian lay on his back on the ground outside the house, staring at the falling rain in the sky with an expressionless face.

It would be better for them to unite to deal with him than to fight each other...Alas, it's because the women around him are all so ambitious, outstanding, beautiful, good-looking and of noble status. If you want them to live in harmony, you have to endure the suffering that ordinary people cannot endure. And is it bitter?

Zhao Wumian pinched his waist. No matter how angry Xiao Yuanmu was, he was reluctant to use force... He leaned on the edge of the window and looked inside.

One of the two women was sitting on a chair drinking tea, while the other was sitting cross-legged on the couch regulating her breathing. Neither of them said a word. After seeing him, they looked up at him indifferently.

Zhao Wumian smiled at them.

Xiao Yuanmu glanced at him, covered his face with a round fan and smiled, feeling helpless... He had no idea how many times he had made him angry since he was a child, but what could he do?

She just likes him.

Sometimes she could tell that Zhao Wumian was lying, but her first reaction was always to believe what Zhao Wumian said... From this perspective, the truly innocent person should be Xiao Yuanmu.

But he only becomes innocent when facing Zhao Wumian.

Guan Yunshu took a breath and knew that if Zhao Wumian had really had something happen with the Queen Mother, he would have been restless by now. So he took a healing pill, stood up and put on his boots, and said, "Continue healing on the way. It's important to hurry."

"How do you heal your wounds on the road?" Zhao Wumian asked.

"Can't I ride on the same horse with you?"

"You and he are riding on the same horse...what about me?" Xiao Yuanmu frowned slightly.

"Don't you have a horse? That's what I robbed with Zhao Wumian in Taiyuan... Don't you know how to ride a horse?"

I pushed open the door and could faintly hear their quarrel amid the rustling sound of falling rain.

"Don't even think about it."

"How could the dignified Palace Master of Taixuan Palace still be upset?"

"It's useless to provoke generals."

"At her current height, her legs can't even reach the stirrups."

"Zhao Wumian, do you want to die?"
