Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 364 The General Does Not Dismount

At midnight, the silver moon was hidden above the black clouds, the night sky was dark, and the seaside town had already turned dark. Most of the lights in the rooms upstairs of the inn were turned off, and only a sliver of light was coming through the crack of the lobby door, from where one could vaguely hear the whispers of a few drunk guests.

After treating Guan Yunshu's injuries, the women dressed and went to rest. However, they didn't know when Master Guiyi would come to visit them, so they just closed their eyes and adjusted their breathing, and had not fallen asleep yet.

They couldn't fall asleep even though they wanted to. As it concerned the bridge connecting heaven and earth, Su Qingqi and Guan Yunshu were both very uneasy in their hearts. After a moment, Su Qingqi raised her eyes calmly, thought for a moment, and tilted her head to whisper to Xiao Lengyue.

"I'll go check on the young master. I wonder if he's injured?"

Xiao Lengyue didn't even raise her eyelids, but nodded slightly, with a faint smile in her tone, "Why do you two need to report your affairs to me?"

These words seemed ambiguous, causing Su Qingqi's face to slightly blush, but she did not dare to say much. She stood up calmly and pushed the door quietly. Soon, there were faint knocks and sounds of the door opening, and then silence returned.

Guan Yunshu pondered for a moment and felt that since Zhao Wumian had come all the way to help him, he should at least go over and say a few words to show his concern, otherwise it would be impolite. He stood up, but Xiao Lengyue raised her hand to hold him back.

"What are you doing there, little nun, in the middle of the night?"

Guan Yunshu looked at him in confusion, "He is innocent, but he is afraid that it will be late at night. I can't just ignore him..."

Xiao Lengyue looked her up and down. Did this nun really think that Su Qingqi was just going to talk to Zhao Wumian and then come back? So she whispered a few words.

The nun was slightly startled. "We are out in public, how can you be so...immoral?"

"Why are you worshipping such customs? Just stay still. Qingqi just said that practicing with Wumian will help build a bridge between heaven and earth... If you don't want to experience it, you should at least observe it, right?"

"Do I need to observe further?" Guan Yunshu's beautiful eyes suddenly widened. She muttered "Amitabha" in a low voice, then shook her head coldly and sat down cross-legged to continue regulating her breathing.

"I didn't ask you to go over and see it with your own eyes." Xiao Lengyue found it funny. The nun's reaction was amusing. She shook her head slightly, walked to the wall and listened carefully.

There were some whispers coming from next door.

"Your aunt and Yunshu are next door, they can hear everything you do..." Su Qingqi's voice trembled slightly, accompanied by the slightest rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

"Keep your voice down and don't attract too much attention. I have to test my physique to see if it can be used to connect the bridge between heaven and earth. Besides you, the only one who can achieve unity of heaven and man around me is the nun... You can't let me and Senior Song Yun try, right?"

Zhao Wumian's voice sounded muffled for some reason, as if his mouth was buried somewhere.

Guan Yunshu's calm expression as she sat cross-legged and regulating her breathing couldn't help but move, as if she wanted to say something. But then Xiao Lengyue glanced at her sideways, and she closed her lips silently again, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Su Qingqi next door seemed to be convinced after hearing this, and stopped talking. She just bit her lower lip and covered her mouth with one hand, trying not to reveal any movement.

Snap————

With a slight sound, Zhao Wumian no longer lowered his head to look at Wumian, but instead held Su Qingqi in his arms, placed her on the square table, and took off her embroidered shoes.

The two plump long legs opened to the sides, and the arches of the feet in white socks suddenly arched.

Crash---

It was raining outside, and the raindrops were hitting the ground, making a rustling sound.

Su Qingqi covered her mouth and made no sound, but her body was very sensitive, like the ebb and flow of the tide.

Guan Yunshu said it was immoral, but at this moment she tilted her head slightly and moved closer to the wall, wanting to listen carefully... She had never heard of such a strange thing that dual cultivation could help communicate the bridge between heaven and earth. As a warrior, it was impossible for her to say that she was not curious.

But as a nun, she was instinctively very resistant to this matter, so after just listening quietly for a few seconds her face had turned red and her expression was extremely struggling.

It was not the first time for Guan Yunshu to eavesdrop on Zhao Wumian's whispers. One could even say that she often listened to them and was quite proficient at it. However, she usually only listened for a few seconds before reacting and quickly closed her ears. But this was obviously the first time that she not only listened to the whispers but also listened carefully.

She cursed herself in her heart for being a Buddhist and doing such a shameless thing, but her heart as a warrior made her unwilling to shut up.

Will this really be useful in building a bridge between heaven and earth?
I don’t know, because Guan Yunshu only listened for a while and his mind was distracted to other places.

Even though Su Qingqi covered her lips, she couldn't help but whimper occasionally in her throat. Just by listening to her, you could tell that she was in extreme pleasure.

Guan Yunshu couldn't help but wonder, could this thing have such magical power? A warrior like Su Qingqi, who had achieved unity of man and nature, must have a strong mind, but even she couldn't help sobbing...

If it was her turn to do this with Zhao Wumian, would she do the same as Su Qingqi? Or even more exaggerated? So exaggerated that she would scream non-stop and roll her eyes?

Guan Yunshu frowned, and after a moment realized that he had been thinking in the wrong direction. He shook his head repeatedly to calm his mind.

How could she do this with Zhao Wumian?

As a Buddhist, Guan Yunshu has always adhered to the rules and regulations for twenty years and has long since turned Buddhism into his own martial art.

If she and Zhao Wumian wanted to practice dual cultivation, they would have to abandon the rules and completely abandon Buddhism. This way, she would not care about the calamity of love and would be willing to practice dual cultivation with Zhao Wumian.

Guan Yunshu was born and raised in Buddhism. He has been chanting sutras and beating wooden fish since he could speak. How could he give up Buddhism like this?
As for talking about the rules of love tribulation while practicing dual cultivation with Zhao Wumian to break through... he said one thing in front of people and another behind their backs. How could he be Guan Yunshu?
If she really connects the bridge between heaven and earth, she will only let go of this love, which is what Buddhism often calls the word "release"... Only by entering the world of mortals and then leaving it can one attain enlightenment.

The cave texts and cave mysteries were all obtained in the same way back then.

Guan Yunshu lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

Eavesdropping made her feel depressed.

Xiao Lengyue was not as emotional as the nun. After listening for a while, she didn't notice any difference. She was afraid that she would have to practice dual cultivation with Zhao Wumian in person to know the specific benefits.

So Xiao Lengyue turned and began to think about her own affairs. When she and Zhao Wumian were alone together, she didn't have so many romantic thoughts. Only when Zhao Wumian and Xiao Yuanmu were being affectionate, she would feel something.

Now listening to Zhao Wumian and Su Qingqi again, well... it seems that they don’t have any strange thoughts, and their bodies don’t have any reaction.

It can't be that she has to do it in front of Xiao Yuanmu... Oh, where can she put her face as a master?

When Xiao Lengyue thought of this, his eyes flickered.

The two women in this room each have their own concerns and thoughts, but the two people next door have already moved several places. Zhao Wumian has already carried the warm and soft jade to the soft couch and pulled the curtains...

The wind and rain are blowing.

Before I knew it, it was getting bright.

The snowy owl was very active at night. After delivering the letter, it flew around the town several times, keeping alert all around. It did not fly until dawn, then it squinted its sleepy eyes and rested on the horse's butt, shaking its head and combing its feathers.

In the inn, Zhao Wumian stayed awake all night, but he looked very energetic. As the saying goes, one gets tired of this kind of thing eventually, but no matter how many times he and Su Qingqi were intimate, every time he lifted her bellyband and it popped out, he still felt a burning sensation in his heart and his mouth was dry.

I can't get tired of it at all.

After a quick wash, I went to the next door and knocked on the door, but found that no one was in the room.

Zhao Wumian suspected that it was because he and Su Qingqi had been intimate all night, which made Guan Yunshu unhappy...

But every time the nun gets angry, she is very heart-warming, with her fair and pretty face, slightly pursed pink lips, calm but slightly cold eyes, and her robe that almost gets torn apart when she takes a deep breath.

As for Xiao Lengyue... Zhao Wumian decided not to have too many thoughts about Xiao Lengyue before he recovered his memory.

When I went downstairs with Su Qingqi, I saw two people already leading the horses, adjusting the saddle straps, and preparing for the trip.

"Good morning." Zhao Wumian greeted the two.

Xiao Lengyue nodded slightly, with no sign of anything wrong, and asked again: "Are you hungry?"

"My stomach has been growling for a long time."

Xiao Lengyue smiled and went to the lobby to ask the waiter to prepare the meal, and Su Qingqi followed her.

Guan Yunshu took off his bloodstained monk robe and put on the clean dress that Su Qingqi carried with her. It was surprisingly suitable, neither too tight nor too loose.

"Good morning." The nun did not look at Zhao Wumian, but simply responded while feeding three horses with the best hay.

As soon as Zhao Wumian saw the nun's expression, he knew that she must be blaming him in her heart for being intimate with Su Qingqi last night, but she felt that she had no reason to complain, so she kept a distanced attitude.

The nun stood inside the stable, and Zhao Wumian stood outside the stable, and the two chatted across three horses.

"How's the injury?"

Guan Yunshu frowned slightly, still not looking at Zhao Wumian, "Although they are only superficial injuries, it is impossible not to affect actual combat... You have to rest for the next few days."

"It's a pity that I didn't bring the Qingying Jade Cloth when I came here."

"My martial arts skills have not yet reached their peak. Even if my injuries are healed, I am still no match for Guiyi and Mo Jingxue." Guan Yunshu shook his head slightly and said bluntly:

"If I had found any clues about the missing Jin Boshan furnace in the past few days, I would have rashly followed you to confront those two people head-on. I'm afraid that would only hinder us and the loss would outweigh the gain. I came to the East China Sea with you mainly to find clues and to assist you. Now I have fulfilled my mission."

"What I mean is that the Qingying Jade Clothes looks like gauze, and it will definitely look very beautiful on you."

This time, Guan Yunshu was finally willing to look at Zhao Wumian. She glanced at him sideways, then said nothing and withdrew her gaze indifferently. She probably felt that it was a waste of time to discuss this matter with Zhao Wumian.

After a few seconds, she said, "You don't need to say more about this, as it's something that everyone knows."

Zhao Wumian couldn't help but laugh a few times. If he wasn't so busy with official duties, he really felt that he would never get tired of chatting with this nun for the rest of his life.

"Come and eat." Su Qingqi shouted to the two of them.

After eating and drinking, the four of them set off to continue their journey towards Huating City. Guan Yunshu and Su Qingqi rode on the same horse. On the way, Guan Yunshu couldn't help but whispered to Su Qingqi:
"Have you really loosened your guard?"

Su Qingqi was naturally concerned about her martial arts, so she didn't need to sense anything. She just glanced at Zhao Wumian riding his horse to the side and whispered:

"Our guess is correct. Although it's not much, we gain something every time we practice dual cultivation. With time accumulating, I'm afraid we will be able to easily overcome that hurdle... Don't you really want to consider it?"

Guan Yunshu also glanced at Zhao Wumian before responding calmly:
"The generals did not dismount, but each pursued his own career."

At the same time, the capital.

Although the capital city also has a lot of rain in summer, it is obviously not as frequent as the East China Sea. Today, the sky is clear and sunny. Young ladies from all families put on the thin summer dresses they prepared earlier and strolled around the capital city with parasols. In the imperial city, the big locust trees on both sides of the imperial road are lush and leafy. In the imperial garden, the ground is covered with fallen flowers, but it is more prosperous in the flower season. Several palace maids stand in the shadows with teapots, fruit plates, etc.

It was the hot summer, and Luo Chaoyan's complicated dragon robe had become a little thinner. Now there was still some time before the morning court session, so after breakfast, she lay on her side in the rocking chair and took a rest in the cool air with her mother.

Beside the two men, Zhongli, a female official, was holding a large pile of classic books collected from various places in her hands. She placed them on the small table beside the rocking chair, looking a little out of breath, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

"Your Majesty, Deep Scale Steel was a powerful tool for governing the country in the past. The place of production is a secret. We were an enemy country back then, so there are not many records about it. I have been searching the streets and rivers in the past few days and have found a lot about Deep Scale Steel and Zhubei Alliance..."

Luo Chaoyan raised her hand calmly, "Back then, the Rong people sent many people to chase away the Northern Alliance's headquarters with the intention of destroying it... The Rong people can find it, but we can't? Stop talking nonsense, I have given you half a month to find it, and Wei Minghou has also been waiting in the Jianghu for nearly half a month... Is there anything now, or is there nothing?"

As early as when Zhao Wumian sent a letter to the capital, Luo Chaoyan was helping to find it. If he still can't find it now, Luo Chaoyan himself might doubt whether the court can still maintain its rule.

If you can't even handle such a small matter, do you expect everything to be handled by Wei Ming Hou?
Female official Zhongli shrank her neck and said, "Yes, yes..."

"But was it sent to Wei Ming Hou?"

"I have sent a message to Huating Tiangong Mansion."

Luo Chaoyan was satisfied. She took out a small piece of watermelon cut into small squares from the fruit plate beside her and slowly put it between her pink lips.

"Where did you get this clue?"

Female official Zhongli hesitated, as if she felt embarrassed, and said after a few seconds:
"Back in Changshan, Marquis Weiming captured a Rong nobleman who was gifted and had achieved unity of nature and man at a young age. He was the son of Wudamu and knew a lot of secrets. In recent days, we have been testing drugs on him and have tortured him beyond recognition.
As for the intelligence about the Rong people, he was very stubborn and didn't get much information out of them, but the intelligence about the Zhubei Alliance headquarters was of no importance to him, so he easily confessed it."

Luo Chaoyan paused, and almost laughed out of anger when she heard this.
"In the end, you still have to rely on Marquis Weiming? If Marquis Weiming had failed to capture this Rong man in Changshan, would you have also pulled out the descendants of General Yi who had long since retired to the martial arts world to question them? What a bunch of good-for-nothings."

The palace maids around her immediately knelt down and bowed their heads, trembling with fear.

However, it was not these palace maids who did this, so Luo Chaoyan naturally would not take her anger out on them. Even the female official Zhongli was just acting as a middleman to pass the message, and she raised her hand lightly to signal them not to panic.

The Queen Mother wore a crimson phoenix skirt. She went to the imperial garden and picked a few flowers and pinned them to her waist. She walked over slowly. When she heard them talking, she took a red flower from her waist and pinned it in Luo Chaoyan's hair, looking at it carefully. She tried to change the subject and asked with a smile:
"It would be great if we could find General Yi's descendants. He would know more about this matter... Is there any way to contact him?"

Female official Zhongli took out a booklet from the book in front of her, turned to one of the pages, presented it with both hands, and whispered:

"General Yi surrendered to the imperial court for the sake of justice. Afterwards, he felt guilty towards the Xiao family and the Chen Kingdom, so he retired to the market... But he did not want a high position and generous salary, but the imperial court could not ignore him, and often sent people to protect him secretly."

"Really?" Luo Chaoyan took the book and asked casually, "Marquis Weiming mentioned it in his letter... but I heard there is a family named Liu in Lanzhuang?"

"No, we have already found out that the ancestor of the Liu family was probably one of General Yi's left and right lieutenants, not a descendant of General Yi..." Female official Zhongli paused, then said:
"General Yi's entire family was already dead in the 30th year of Hong Tian...it is suspected that they were wiped out by their enemies."

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Luo Chaoyan was also startled, looking at the book in his hand, which had black words on it: 'In the 30th year of Hongtian, General Yi's entire family of ten, including the secret guards sent to protect him, all died at home.'

The following is a series of speculations and analyses on this incident, but the murderer has not been caught yet... It is a shame for the court that it failed to protect even the founding heroes, so it has been kept secret.

Luo Chaoyan was silent for a moment, and could only sigh, "It is indeed the fault of Emperor Taizu Gao that the founding hero failed to protect him."

No one around dared to answer. Whoever answered would die. Apart from Luo Chaoyan, who dared to speak ill of Emperor Taizu Gao? Only those rebels in Jiangnan.

Luo Chaoyan put down the booklet and asked, "Have you informed Wei Minghou about this?"

"I have sent the letter together, but it will take a few days for the letter to reach Huating."

Luo Chaoyan nodded slightly, "Although it took a long time, fortunately the matter can be done... Go and collect the reward."

"Thank you, Emperor."

After Zhongli the lady-in-waiting left, the Queen Mother leaned back on the recliner and ate grapes before she asked, "What if this intelligence is wrong and has delayed the Marquis's plan?"

"That Rong man must be put to death, and the people below him must be punished. They should be rewarded if necessary, and punished if necessary."

The Queen Mother smiled. After so much time had passed, she and Luo Chaoyan had already become close mother and daughter. She simply pinched her dragon robe lightly.

"I'm saying, how should His Majesty express his apology after meeting Marquis Weiming? Why not listen to my mother and let the Marquis touch His Majesty, and he will surely be relieved..."

Luo Chaoyan's pretty face turned slightly red. She covered her chest and glared at the Queen Mother, "You can't take this as a joke."

The palace maids around all lowered their heads, pretending they saw nothing.

The Tianya Islands, named after the headquarters of the Jade Palace, are so close yet so far away.

In the past, this area of ​​a hundred miles in radius was not called the Tianya Islands. However, because the master of the Jade Palace, Yu Jingzheng, became one of the three sects and six schools in the early years of his reign and became the leader of the East China Sea, the name of this area was also changed.

A World Away is a vast island in the East China Sea, but there are many reefs around the island and the sea fog is very thick. If you take a boat rashly, you will only run aground and sink, and lose your way.

It is so close yet difficult to get to the island, so it is said to be so close yet so far away.

However, the Jade Palace has its own special waterway to the island. At the moment, the East China Sea is in an uproar because of the Hermit Sheath. In recent days, there have been many tourists coming to visit. There are very few boats on the waterway, but the East China Sea is foggy in the early morning and visibility is not high.

Most of these people from the martial arts world came to the Jade Palace to ask for information and clues about the Sheath.

Even if the Jade Palace really knew, they probably wouldn't tell it, but there are always people who want to give it a try.

A pleasure boat was drifting on the sea. A girl in a goose yellow dress sat sideways on the cushion at the bow, holding a handkerchief in her hand. She covered her mouth and coughed softly from time to time. It was Luo Xiangzhu.

Mu Lier wore a sword at her waist, a waterproof cape, and a veil. She stood beside Luo Xiangzhu, her beautiful face showing a little helplessness. She said:
"Your health is getting worse day by day. Why do you have to come here again? Just stay in the mansion and recuperate."

Luo Xiangzhu was deeply impressed that the Zhubei Alliance headquarters was not too far away. If he searched around this place with this place as the center, he would definitely find something...but there were many islands nearby and it would not be easy to find them in a short time.

However, there is a lot of sea fog only near the end of the world. Once you leave the area, the visibility will be high.

Zhao Wumian was out, and Luo Xiangzhu was free at home, so he thought of coming to look for it and try his luck. It would be great if he could find the Zhubei Alliance headquarters before Zhao Wumian came back.

Luo Xiangzhu was wrapped in a blanket, her hair swaying in the sea breeze, her pretty face was pale, but she was looking around seriously. Upon hearing this, she just pointed in a direction.

I want to go there and have a look.

Mu Lier sighed lightly, paddled the boat, and accompanied Luo Xiangzhu in the search.

With the clue of the Zhubei Alliance headquarters, the imperial court would naturally also be looking for it, so there was no need to rely on the scene in Luo Xiangzhu's dream... But she insisted on coming, so Mu Lier had no choice but to follow her.

The pleasure boat created waves on the sea, and the sea was covered with mist. Mu Lier rowed the boat casually, saying:

"Wumian sent a letter saying that he has rescued the people and should be back today. Zhichi Tianya is not far from Huating. How about we go back in the afternoon?"

When Zhao Wumian was mentioned, Luo Xiangzhu thought of the scene of him kissing the back of her hand. She couldn't help but raise her hand to cover the back of her hand, which still felt a little wet.

She nodded slightly when she heard that, then covered her stomach and pointed to the sky.

I'm going to be hungry, so I'd better go back at noon.

Mu Lier smiled dotingly, "Okay, okay, I'll be back at noon."

As they were talking, they heard a soft splashing sound and in the mist on the opposite side, the dark shadow of a dinghy slowly emerged.

The shaggy boat on the opposite side either failed to notice Mu Lier's boat in advance or was too proud to give way and just kept rowing forward.
Mu Lier knew that there was a boat on the opposite side, so in order to avoid a collision, she slightly adjusted the angle of her pleasure boat.

Although she is a martial arts master, she obviously does not think that she has any privileges just because of her martial arts skills... Giving way is just giving way, it's no big deal.

When I got closer, I saw two people standing on the boat.

A burly man, wrapped in a waterproof cloak and wearing a hood. Only vaguely visible was his gray beard and rough skin, a classic look of a man from the East China Sea.

Beside him stood a young man.

The young man was also wrapped in a cloak and wearing a hood. Judging from the skin on his chin, he was quite young. He stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, and the burly man beside him rowed the boat. He looked like some noble family traveling with bodyguards.

No wonder he was unwilling to give way to Murier.

Mu Lier did not take this little thing too seriously. As a martial arts master, she had her own composure. She just looked at the two of them for a moment longer before looking away. It seemed that they were going to the Jade Palace.

There have been so many people from the martial arts world visiting the Jade Palace in recent days, but Mu Lier did not become suspicious.

The two boats passed each other peacefully and disappeared into the light mist. Then the young man seemed to react a beat late and slowly turned his head to look at Mu Lier's boat.

White Wolf whispered, "Is there something wrong?"

The young man stroked his fingers, his tone slightly doubtful, "That woman is quite impressive, and her martial arts skills seem to be pretty good."

This sword was too good at sensing and concealing auras, and Shamantian's injuries had not yet healed, so he didn't notice anything wrong for a moment.

"Should we catch up and see for ourselves?" Bai Lang frowned. He didn't realize that the woman knew martial arts at all. He just felt that she looked familiar. He had a feeling that he had seen this woman in white somewhere.

When he was in Changshan, Bai Lang must have seen Mu Lier before, but now that she had broken through to the martial arts level, Mu Lier's aura had changed too much. She was also wearing a veil, so his face could not be seen. Bai Lang obviously did not think that Mu Lier could have broken through to the martial arts level in such a short time, and he did not think about it that way.

Shamantian pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "The hinterland of the East China Sea must be full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. We must not cause trouble, otherwise, something bad will happen."

After a few words, the two of them were already on their way to the Jade Palace...

----------

The photos of him wearing women's clothing seemed to have become popular and were passed around.

It’s a pity that the photo is popular, but the book is not, hahaha.

my day.

The old girls look really beautiful when they dress up.
