Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 305 It’s Late Spring
The next day was still a drizzling day. Soldiers from Mount Qingcheng were patrolling everywhere, and hired flower farmers were planting flowers with baskets full of seeds and fertilizers on their backs. Mount Qingcheng was busy, and the area below the mountain was not peaceful either.

"This thing is good. Let's go back and let the baby try it."

"Give the kid something to try. It's a rare trip to Shu, and most of these will be presented as tribute to His Majesty."

"Does His Majesty think highly of these things?"

"Isn't it enough to say that it was sent by the Marquis? Your Majesty is not a vulgar woman who only cares about whether it is expensive or not? What matters is the thought."

A caravan stood in front of a stone tablet engraved with the word "Qingcheng". There were lush green trees on both sides of the road. Shen Lian was dressed as an ordinary guard and moved wooden boxes into the carriage with the masters of the Imperial Palace. The things in them were not important, but some local specialties of Shu, such as Pixian bean paste and Mount Emei's bamboo leaf green tea.

The horse was tied with the trailer reins, and it stepped on the ground with its hooves, lowered its head and ate grass, looking very docile.

After staying in Shu for more than a month, I am now returning to Beijing. There is some noise around the caravan.

Xiao Yuanmu stood in front of the carriage. His petite body was not even half the height of the horse. Su Qingqi considerately placed three footrests in front of his master.

She glanced sideways at the figure behind the convoy, snorted lightly, looked away, lifted her skirt with her small hands and stepped onto the carriage.

At the back of the convoy, a man in purple, wearing a gauze veil hat, was leading a horse. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at the man in front of him.

"Now that we don't know the whereabouts of Tian Xuanchen, why don't we ask the court to help find him? Why are you running around in the world by yourself?" Zhao Wumian was still planning to bring Zi Yi back to the capital.

Zi Yi looked behind Zhao Wumian, at the window on the side of the carriage. The curtain was drawn, revealing several exquisite profiles, looking quietly in the direction of the two of them.

Only Guan Yunshu led his horse, tied it in front of the carriage, and concentrated on preparing it without looking in this direction.

Zi Yi retracted her gaze, "Should I go back to Beijing and be your Marquis' wife with them? I don't want to compete with them for favor."

"What jealousy... It's not that exaggerated. I have nothing to do with most of them, and they are all good girls. No one would play tricks on them..."

"Come on, come on. I'm not Su Qingqi or Guan Yunshu, those little girls who will obey you just because you say a few nice words to them." Zi Yi interrupted Zhao Wumian, took out two porcelain bottles from her sleeves and handed them to Zhao Wumian, warning him:
"Your blood is very toxic now. This is the antidote. It can be applied externally or taken orally. Be careful. If you poison someone around you, I will not be held responsible."

"Oh..." Zhao Wumian took the porcelain bottle and heard Zi Yi say:

"This is the first time I've seen Xiao Yuanmu's physical condition. It's also the first time in the history of medicine. There aren't many cases, so I can only figure it out myself. But in the final analysis, it's because her Qi and blood can't keep up with her internal energy. This time I'm out, I'll help her think of a solution."

"Oh... you don't mind that she is a traitor of Taixuan Palace." Zhao Wumian smiled.

"I don't want to worry about these things. It's really troublesome. You should find a way to deal with it yourself. Just don't hurt my disciple's feelings." Zi Yi hesitated for a moment, took out another porcelain bottle from her sleeve, and handed it to Zhao Wumian.

"I'll keep the Nine Li Gu I found on Fan Wucheng with me first. You can't use it anyway since there's only one-fifth of it. The bottle contains the Wu Hong Dan that I specially prepared these days. It should have neutralized the addictive properties, but no one helped me test the medicine... You can do it. Remember to write down your thoughts after using the medicine."

Zhao Wumian blinked his eyes. "It's such a dangerous thing, is it okay for me to try it?"

"You are half of the innate All-Poison Body, what can happen? Just take the Dancing Red Pill as an ordinary poison pill. The only thing worth noting is its addictiveness. If you take one pill a day, that's a month's supply. If there are no side effects, it will also be beneficial to your physique."

"What if I get addicted to drugs?" Zhao Wumian was very wary of this thing, but it seemed that no one except him could try the drugs.

Oh yes, there are quite a few death row prisoners in the Heavenly Prison... Forget it, they are not worthy of drinking the medicine made by my wife.

Zi Yi comforted Zhao Wumian softly, showing him a gentle smile like a bodhisattva, "Don't worry, even if you have a drug addiction attack and lose your mind, strip and dance on the street, and become infamous forever, I will not give up on you and will take care of you for the rest of your life."

"It doesn't matter if you carry shit and pee?"

"Let Su Qingqi do this dirty work. She definitely won't mind. Although I don't practice Buddhism, I have a heart like Buddha and don't care about you having three wives and four concubines."

"I underestimated you. I didn't expect that you said you didn't want to compete with them, but in fact you were secretly trying to control me with poison and make me dependent on you forever? Bad woman." Zhao Wumian was amused by Zi Yi.

Zi Yi responded to Zhao Wumian's joke with a cold and cruel smile, and answered seriously: "Why do you have to do this? There is a love Gu in Miaojiang. It is cultivated by Miaojiang women from childhood with their heart blood. It takes 16 years for the Gu to mature. There are two of them. If I plant one of them in your heart, if you change your mind about me one day, the love Gu will eat away at your heart veins... Do you think I have it?"

Zhao Wumian's eyes lit up and he patted his chest, "Go ahead, how can I not have a token of love with you?"

His determination to be devoted to her did not move Zi Yi, but instead made her cross her arms and look at him coldly.

"…What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly angry?"

"..."

"You mean... there is actually a token of love between us?"

"..."

"Really? I've never heard you mention it. Can you give me a hint?"

"..."

"Could it be that tree? You don't care about it at all...hiss!"

Zi Yi suddenly lifted up Zhao Wumian's forearm and bit it hard, even drawing blood.

Zhao Wumian suddenly realized...it turned out that the purple clothes were referring to the innate all-poison body, and this was the reason why the two of them were entangled until now.

To be honest, if Ding Jingcheng hadn't given him the Cold Jade Gu, Zhao Wumian would never have had any involvement with Zi Yi.

Ding Jingcheng, thank you, although I will definitely kill you next time we meet.

Zi Yi snorted coldly, then let go of her mouth. Her pink lips were dotted with scarlet, all stained with Zhao Wumian's blood, making her look somewhat enchanting.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and prepared to wipe her mouth, then she saw Zhao Wumian raise his hand and gently lift the veil of her veil, holding the blood on her lips and the sweetness of the current imperial teacher.

Zi Yi didn't resist much this time. She just felt that doing so in public was really immoral, and a rare hint of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face.

After Zi Yi rode away, Zhao Wumian still couldn't forget her as he watched her disappear in the rain.

There are no high-speed trains or airplanes in this world. Once we say farewell, we don’t know how long it will take to see each other again.

For the first time, Zhao Wumian felt a strong desire and urgency to ascend to become an immortal... After all, this would allow him to make a huge leap in a single move.

Zhao Wumian was right, the girls he met were all very good women, and no one disturbed his farewell conversation with Zi Yi...but he was still too naive.

They are indeed not women who would play tricks... they only know how to fight with real swords and guns.

When Zhao Wumian turned around and prepared to get in, the curtains of both carriages were lifted.

Xiao Yuanmu waved his round fan with one hand and nodded at him, his tone unquestionable, "Come here."

The Queen Mother was wearing a green dress, with her arms leaning on the edge of the bed, her chin resting on her forearms. Her mature and beautiful face was lazy and she had a graceful smile, as if she was concerned about an elder. "My Lord, come here."

There was no way that Xiao Yuanmu and the Queen Mother could ride in the same car. Although they were both going to the capital, they were naturally separated from each other... and the two women usually never chatted or even looked at each other.

Hearing this, they both turned their heads to look at each other, their brows tightly furrowed.

Xiao Yuanmu, this enchantress, made the Queen Mother feel a great sense of crisis. If it weren't for her, the Queen Mother would not have rushed up to fight for nothing. However, as the mother of a country, it was obviously impossible for her to surrender because of force. She immediately smiled more noble and said:

"The winding mountain paths lead to the green valleys, the meandering rivers flow into the vast sea. We have experienced wind, frost, rain and snow, and the sun, moon and stars are with us from beginning to end. Don't say that there is no way forward, for different paths lead to the same destination and we will meet again... Although we are going to the capital together, who said we have to take the same route?
I came to Shu in a hurry, and now I have nothing to do, so I want you to accompany me to travel around the mountains and rivers, to add a touch of color to my trip. I'm afraid it will be late April before I return to the capital... The journey is long, and the palace master is busy, so it's better not to delay your important matter..."

When Zhao Wumian heard this, his face froze, and he suddenly realized that his future might be dark. It seemed that coaxing all the girls to go to the capital was not entirely a good thing.

Guan Yunshu was ready and patting the horse's belly. He glanced at him sideways when he heard the words, with a slightly curious look on his face. When he saw Zhao Wumian's slightly stiff expression, his expression turned into ridicule.

Su Qingqi and Xiao Yuanmu were sitting together. After hearing this, they looked embarrassed and said, "Empress Dowager, a single thread cannot make a rope. The Western Region Saint Church may not let you go back to the capital so easily. We should accompany you all the way and take care of each other..."

Before she finished her words, Xiao Yuanmu raised his hand to interrupt Su Qingqi. The empress dowager was obviously trying to drive people away, and Xiao Yuanmu had the same intention. Who would want to travel with people from the imperial court?

"Since the order to expel you has been issued, I will not be shameless enough to go with you. Otherwise, wouldn't I be living under someone else's roof? The emperor calls himself the Son of Heaven, but it is unknown whether the Heaven will be named Luo or Xiao in the future. Therefore, the 'fence' of the court is not worthy of standing in my way." She glanced at the queen mother and then looked at Zhao Wumian, "But you have to come with me."

The Queen Mother listened for a long time before she realized that Xiao Yuanmu's real intention was to take Zhao Wumian away. Her smile faded immediately, and her eyes revealed a bit of coldness, "Robbing someone? Don't forget that he is the Marquis of Weiming in the imperial court."

"Rob? If I really wanted to rob him and take him back to Jiangnan, could you stop me? I haven't used force until now, not because I'm reasonable or kind, but because I'm afraid that if I kill you, he'll be sad, understand?"

This was undoubtedly a naked provocation and sarcasm. Even if the Queen Mother was as soft as a marshmallow, she would explode. "Really? Then why not give it a try, Palace Master?"

As she spoke, the Queen Mother gave Murier a look.

Mu Lier, Luo Xiangzhu, and the Queen Mother's three daughters were riding in a carriage, called the "Court Party".

Mu Lier looked helpless, thinking to herself, what's there to be angry about such a small matter? If a fight really breaks out, won't it be her good disciple who will be in trouble? But at this point, she couldn't just sit there and say goodbye to the Queen Mother, the mother of a country. After all, they were good sisters, so she raised her sword and clasped her fists towards Xiao Yuanmu.

At the same time, she kept winking at Zhao Wumian...Why don't you speak quickly? Aren't you usually very good at saying sweet words?
Zhao Wumian immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "If something happens to the Queen Mother, I will definitely be sad, but Miss Su is right, Ding Jingcheng is still alive, and Meng Po is not injured at all. Maybe the leader of the Holy Church is on his way to kill him. It is better for us to stay together and take care of each other. No matter who gets into trouble..."

Before Zhao Wumian finished speaking, Xiao Yuanmu waved his round fan and looked at the Queen Mother, saying leisurely: "Look, if I kill you, he will just be sad, not hate me, and will not turn against me... Do you know how insignificant you are in his heart?"

collapse--

After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt as if a string in her heart had broken. She could no longer maintain even a trace of smile on her face. She said coldly: "It doesn't matter? Zhao Wumian may have hidden a lot of things from you, but I know. After hearing this, the Palace Master, please don't..."

Zhao Wumian was stunned. Seeing that the Queen Mother was so angry with Xiao Yuanmu that she wanted to expose their secret love, he quickly interrupted the Queen Mother and said, "Why are you saying these hurtful things? Just think of it as for me. Isn't it better to be safe on this journey?"

Seeing that Zhao Wumian seemed a little angry, the queen mother managed to regain some composure, glanced at Zhao Wumian, and realized that she almost said the wrong thing... This was unlike her, she was actually provoked to insanity by just a few words.

She is not like this usually... I guess this is what is called love. It means that she has a secret crush on Zhao Wumian, which is why she reacted so strongly to this matter.

The Queen Mother reflected silently, while Xiao Yuanmu was obviously not scared by Zhao Wumian. She looked at Zhao Wumian coldly, "What is the thing that woman said you hid from me?"

"Master finally managed to connect the bridge between heaven and earth, and gained new insights into this sword. I have been studying this sword recently, trying to avoid being discovered when I peek at you taking a bath."

Xiao Yuanmu frowned, "Do you think I will believe you? Don't change the subject."

"Really? We'll take the water route back to Beijing. When we get on the ship, I don't believe you won't wash for a month..." "Zhao Wumian." Mu Li'er's helpless expression turned cold. "Can you not use the martial arts your master taught you to do this kind of thing?"

"……Feel sorry."

Guan Yunshu folded his arms, leaned against the car, his cheeks puffed up, and he began to hold back his laughter.

Xiao Yuanmu suspected that Zhao Wumian really had some strange habit. He could not help but hug his ordinary little purse, his expression becoming colder and colder. "What are you hiding from me?"

Zhao Wumian glanced at Guan Yunshu... Can the nun give him some advice? His secret relationship with the Queen Mother really couldn't be known by Xiao Yuanmu. Now was not the right time.

Guan Yunshu pretended not to understand Zhao Wumian's eyes, but instead held up his bulging clothes, looked alert, and mocked: "What? Want to peek at me taking a bath?"

"You are such a filthy nun. You can even involve yourself in something that is completely unrelated to you. Didn't you hear Master telling me not to use this sword to do this? I always listen to Master."

Zhao Wumian withdrew his gaze. He could not rely on the nun at all at this moment. It was good enough that she did not add insult to injury.

Guan Yunshu's expression froze, and he had the urge to punch someone.

The Queen Mother and Xiao Yuanmu looked gloomy when they saw Zhao Wumian and Guan Yunshu's eye contact.

The Queen Mother would never give in to Xiao Yuanmu, and said in a cold voice: "In the final analysis, it still depends on the Marquis... Zhao Wumian, do you want to go back to the capital with me, or go with that witch?"

Whenever the Queen Mother called out "Zhao Wumian", she was extremely serious and solemn.

Xiao Yuanmu also sneered, "Of course you can choose that woman... but if you do so, you will suffer."

"I haven't seen His Majesty for a long time. I must bring gifts back... I want to catch a panda cub and bring it back to raise in the palace..."

"Catch them after we've chosen!" they said in unison.

Zhao Wumian had no choice but to come to Xiao Yuanmu's car window.

Xiao Yuanmu looked at the Queen Mother with a mocking expression.

The empress dowager's breathing gradually became heavy. Given her temperament and age, she would definitely not cry. However, she recalled what they had said before. In her heart, the empress dowager's status could not be compared to Xiao Yuanmu's... That was the fact.

It was normal for Zhao Wumian to stand on Xiao Yuanmu's side, but even so, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness and bitterness in her heart... What if you change the subject? What if you lie to me?

I asked you to lie... I didn't stop you from lying, but Zhao Wumian didn't even want to lie to her...

When I was feeling sad, I suddenly heard the sound of Xiao Yuanmu struggling.

"What are you doing? Zhao Wumian, how dare you! Put me down! How disrespectful..."

The empress dowager was slightly stunned and turned her head to look, only to see Zhao Wumian put his hands through the car window, hugged Xiao Yuanmu under her armpits, and carried her out of the car... With Xiao Yuanmu's current height, this posture was very much like a father holding his daughter.

How could she, the dignified Palace Master of Taixuan Palace, be subjected to such a great humiliation? Her face turned red and she kept struggling, but Zhao Wumian was currently stronger than Xiao Yuanmu, and he carried her into the Queen Mother's carriage, sat down on the cushion, and said expressionlessly:

"I want both...Okay, stop arguing, let's go back to the capital together. The people from the Holy Church are eyeing us covetously and they might hide in the dark. There's no time to be upset."

The Queen Mother blinked and found it funny. Just as she was about to make a joke, she saw Xiao Yuanmu looking up at her in Zhao Wumian's arms.

The two women's faces immediately turned cold and expressionless. They sat upright without looking to the side.

Luo Xiangzhu was shivering in the corner. From the beginning, she was afraid that the two women would split into two groups and fight each other, so she mustered up her courage and slowly walked down from the carriage. Then, after stepping on the ground, she quickly quickened her pace and got into Su Qingqi's carriage, hugging her for warmth.

Mu Lier originally wanted to stay in the carriage to support the Queen Mother, but then she remembered that what the Queen Mother said just now was a bit harsh, and she didn't want to hurt Su Qingqi's feelings, so she went to Su Qingqi and said some comforting words like "The Queen Mother is also very angry, don't take it to heart."

Su Qingqi naturally wouldn't care about such a small matter. She was just a little worried whether Xiao Yuanmu would really fight with the Queen Mother.

As a result, there were only Zhao Wumian, Xiao Yuanmu and the empress dowager left in the carriage, leaving a lot of extra space. Xiao Yuanmu then got down from Zhao Wumian's arms, folded his arms, and faced the empress dowager. He was not tall, but he looked quite imposing.

In fact, Zhao Wumian began to regret it the moment he stepped into the carriage with Xiao Yuanmu in his arms... The distance between them was so close, if they really had a quarrel and started fighting, he must not hurt the empress dowager.

But for some reason, the Queen Mother and Xiao Yuanmu did not speak at this moment. Instead, they fell into a strange silence. The carriage was suddenly filled with a murderous feeling of swords and sabers, and there was silence.

The Queen Mother felt much better because Zhao Wumian did not really choose Xiao Yuanmu, so she didn't want to quarrel with him again and make things difficult for him.

Xiao Yuanmu simply felt that it was too childish to be angry with the empress dowager like this... In fact, as long as the empress dowager didn't make trouble, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to her.

But having said that, the two women still kept a straight face and didn't smile in front of each other.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted by white hands. Guan Yunshu also stepped into the carriage, sat down next to the empress dowager, facing Zhao Wumian.

The three of them stared at her.

What are you doing up here?
Guan Yunshu ignored their gazes, took out a biography from his bosom and read it leisurely. On it were written in large letters: 'Weiming Hou and the Three Demon Ladies of the Demon Sect'.

Three people: "..."

Zhao Wumian asked: "Why are you still looking at this thing?"

"You even hid something from Xiao Yuanmu, so how could you not hide something from me? It just so happens that I am a little curious about what happened between you and those three witches, so I bought it to take a look..."

"This book is full of rumors."

"Then can you tell me the parts that are not rumors? Xiao Yuanmu is here, so she can tell the truth from the false."

Zhao Wumian was silent.

"Hmph." The nun snorted lightly and flipped through the book.

The carriage was dead silent again, with only the faint sound of turning pages.

The guard outside the car then wiped the sweat from his head tremblingly, held his breath, tried not to make any loud noise, and drove away.

Gurgle gurgle————

The wheels rolled over the water on the ground, and the carriage remained stable.

Guan Yunshu was still reading a book. The three people beside her all sat upright with expressionless faces and kept silent.

Zhao Wumian looked straight ahead, at Guan Yunshu's face, but rarely did he focus his attention on this perfect face. He only felt a slight sense of embarrassment and awkwardness in his heart, as if he was dragged to a social gathering by someone he didn't know at all when he was in college in his previous life.

He kept a straight face, and after an unknown amount of time, he leaned forward to look at Xiao Yuanmu and the Queen Mother, and suddenly asked, "Are you really not going to catch a panda cub? It's a rare trip to Shu."

The voice echoed in the carriage, but no one paid any attention to him.

After a few seconds, Zhao Wumian withdrew his body expressionlessly, and only then did he suddenly hear Xiao Yuanmu's reply.

"You can catch it if you want, but she has it, so I have to have it too."

"I want it too."

……

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Zhao Wumian still had a stern face and sat upright, but this time he had two panda cubs in his arms that looked no more than four months old.

The two panda cubs were sisters. They were sitting in his arms, rubbing their heads against each other and calling "woooo". However, they had just been caught from the bamboo forest and it was raining. Their bodies were already wet, causing Zhao Wumian's clothes to get wet as well.

There was another panda cub who was the youngest and the noisiest. Xiao Yuanmu was annoyed and simply tied a rope in front of her as a 'seat belt' and tied her to the seat... The noisiest panda cub was chewing on a bamboo shoot with an intelligent look in his eyes, and had no idea what was going on.

The other idle carriages were also loaded with a lot of juicy and bright bamboo shoots for the panda cubs to eat on the road.

"Don't pandas usually start weaning after six months? Why can she eat bamboo shoots now?" Zhao Wumian raised his hand and pointed at the tied-up panda cub and asked.

The carriage remained silent.

This question should be asked to Zi Yi, not them.

Only Guan Yunshu was flipping through the book, looking at the contents with great interest, and casually said, "Who told you that pandas are weaned at six months old? They are also called iron-eating beasts. They are very ferocious when they grow up. Now is the time for them to exercise their teeth. Basically, they should be weaned at two months old."

Zhao Wumian silently withdrew his hand, thinking that in this world there are even species like snow owls and little white snakes, so it is not surprising that the panda cubs are weaned early... I am afraid that compared with the previous life, they are not even the same species.

I lowered my head and took a few looks. Wow, these little guys have very good teeth.

As soon as the words were spoken, the carriage fell into silence again.

Behind him, there were sounds of laughter and conversation coming from the carriage where Su Qingqi and the others were traveling. They were mostly talking about what kind of rouge and clothes they would buy after returning to Beijing, as well as what styles Zhao Wumian would like.

Zhao Wumian wanted to go to Miss Su's place and chat with them... but this was obviously impossible.

Gurgle gurgle————

The carriage moved slowly forward.

I left Beijing in early February and it is now mid-March. It will definitely be April before I return to the capital.

It is already late spring.
