Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 395 Reunion
Today is just an ordinary autumn day, not any special festival. It's just that the sky is a little bluer, the clouds are a little whiter, and it looks more vast and distant.

Zeng Lengyue, who was well-known far and wide, became famous after the last battle between Weiming Hou and Tong Congdao under the moon. Many people from the martial arts world came here to make pilgrimages, pointing and talking, boasting that they were standing there and saw with their own eyes Weiming Hou pierce Tong Congdao's heart with a sword.

Thanks to this, Zeng Lengyue's business is booming, and it is no exaggeration to say that he makes a fortune every day.

But at this moment, Zeng Lengyue closed the door for the first time, saying that she wanted to let the girls rest for a while. However, red lanterns were hung between the red walls and bamboo courtyards, and the atmosphere was full of joy, as if it was New Year's Day.

The girls in Zeng Lengyue knew that the young master they had been thinking about was about to return to Beijing, and there was a high probability that he had recovered his memory... and finally remembered them.

Even the Palace Master was happy. Since she came back from the deep palace, she changed into a red dress and organized the girls to clean and dress up the entire building. She also gave everyone a big red envelope, without exception.

But they waited eagerly for several days, but Zhao Wumian did not come back. Some of them couldn't help but sigh and looked at Xiao Yuanmu.

"Palace Master, I don't know when the young master will return to the capital... It would be great if he could come back tonight. We have cooked a lot of dishes that the young master likes!"

Xiao Yuanmu was no different from before, still small in stature with a strong aura, but she had changed into a crimson dress, which made her look festive, like a little girl next door during the New Year.

She sat in front of a small desk, pushing an abacus with her small hands. Next to her were account books sent from various places. She calculated the income of Taixuan Palace this month to relieve her boredom. When she heard this, she casually said:
"If you can't come back today, then tomorrow. If you can't come back tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow... we'll just have to wait."

"Alas, the young master didn't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. In the past, the young master would come back to Lin'an at the end of the year, and usually he would celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us. But this year, we can only drink alone under the moon. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, many sisters cried..."

crunch--

The door of Zeng Lengyue's palace was wide open, and Qing Yan, the most famous courtesan in the capital, approached with a blank expression on her face. In her arms, she was holding a large bundle of fireworks and firecrackers, which she had obviously just purchased.

Xiao Yuanmu looked at him sideways, a little speechless, "It's not New Year's Day, why did you buy so many firecrackers?"

"In the past, when a sister in the building was sad, the young master would set off fireworks and firecrackers. He would set off fireworks when she was sad or happy. It was lively and exciting. Now that the young master is back, we have to set off fireworks as well."

There was still no expression on Qingyan's face. She just spoke blankly after hearing that. With her ethereal temperament, she looked cute and silly in contrast.

"He still has this habit?" Xiao Yuanmu raised his eyebrows slightly.

Her only impression of fireworks and firecrackers was that every time in Lin'an, Zhao Wumian would light up firecrackers and throw them at her.

Xiao Yuanmu wanted to fight back, so the two of them used firecrackers as bombs to hit each other, causing chaos.

As a result, Xiao Lengyue no longer gave the two of them money to buy firecrackers during the New Year.

Xiao Yuanmu took a few glances and then looked away. Qingyan piled the firecrackers and fireworks in the corner, then walked to the terrace with her skirt lifted up, sat on the edge, looked at the sparkling lake, and waited for Zhao Wumian to come back, with a slender back.

Ever since she heard the news that Zhao Wumian was about to return to Beijing, she has been waiting for a month, like a stone waiting for her husband, and she never gets tired of it.

Tap tap tap————

Xiao Lengyue was wearing a light green long dress, with her hair tied up like a woman, and her delicate neck had a graceful curve as she walked down from the upstairs.

She came to the firecrackers, pondered for a while, then bent down to pick up one, lit it, and threw it directly at Xiao Yuanmu.

sizzle ————

The firecrackers lit up with sparks and fell in front of Xiao Yuanmu's desk, which startled Xiao Yuanmu slightly. He raised his hand to flick the firecrackers away.

The firecrackers flew in the air, the sparks drew an arc in the sky, and then exploded in the air with a "bang", scaring the girls who were busy cleaning in the hall.

Xiao Lengyue laughed crisply, and Xiao Yuanmu looked at him helplessly, "What are you doing?"

"You guys are too bored, just have some fun."

Xiao Lengyue clapped her hands, lifted her skirt and walked to the small table, sat down, picked up a grape from the plate and put it between her lips.

Xiao Lengyue had previously searched for Zhao Wumian's whereabouts in the Jiangnan area, after all, it was his home base.

Jiangnan is obviously closer to the capital than the Western Regions, so he returned before Su Qingqi and Shen Xiangge, but he has not met Luo Chaoyan yet.

Xiao Lengyue ate a few grapes and asked with a smile:

"I heard that the little emperor had a serious illness, and the court officials were so anxious that they wanted to arrange her marriage with Wumian on the spot, but why aren't you anxious at all? Your man is about to be snatched away."

Xiao Yuanmu pushed the abacus beads, his expression unchanged, "I am in the capital, how can I let a marriage be easily arranged?"

"You want to cause trouble?"

"Could it be possible that I would turn a blind eye to it?"

Xiao Lengyue became interested, "What do you want to do?"

"You don't have to worry about it. The court is obviously not ready yet, and there is no rush in the next few days..." As he spoke, Xiao Yuanmu remembered something and looked at Xiao Lengyue, his tone lowered a little.

"Zhao Wumian has returned to Beijing now. After passing through the Inlaid Gold Boshan Furnace, he has probably recovered his memory. What happened between you and him..."

Xiao Lengyue's expression, as if watching a play, changed slightly, and he thought of the plan of replacing the pillars.

Logically speaking, Xiao Lengyue should have a baby with Zhao Wumian, so that the child can compete for the throne of Dali, which can be regarded as a roundabout way to restore the country.

But it is impossible to give birth to this child casually. Xiao Lengyue is not a fickle woman. Before this, she took advantage of Zhao Wumian's unconsciousness at the foot of Mount Lushan to test whether she would fall in love with Zhao Wumian.

The answer is no. Xiao Lengyue thought that it was because Zhao Wumian didn't remember her, and she couldn't get over it. So she thought about waiting until Zhao Wumian recovered his memory before trying again.

In fact, this is just a delaying tactic. The essence is that Xiao Lengyue feels that this method is too shameful, but deep down she is reluctant to change the method.

Now if Zhao Wumian has really recovered his memory, then this matter should be put on the agenda.

Xiao Lengyue had already prepared herself mentally, but at this moment she felt that she had not...her complicated feelings could not be told to outsiders.

Xiao Yuanmu could see the hesitation in her heart, so he made the decision for her quickly and decisively.

"I'll try to get him drunk tonight...would you like to try?"

Xiao Lengyue frowned slightly, "Isn't this... too hasty?"

"Then how long do you want to delay?" Xiao Yuanmu had already said it in Lushan. Naturally, he didn't care much about Zhao Wumian and Xiao Lengyue's affairs. At this moment, he said angrily:
"If you keep delaying until Luo Chaoyan and Zhao Wumian get married, until Luo Chaoyan's belly gets bigger, until she gives Zhao Wumian a child, and finally there's no more time to delay, and you hand over the throne to someone else, will you be satisfied?"

Xiao Lengyue shrank her neck. As the dignified Palace Master of Taixuan Palace, she hesitated, "What if the little emperor gave birth to a girl?"

"Luo Chaoyan is already the empress, so what if she gives birth to a girl? She can still be the crown prince."

"Didn't you say you were going to cause trouble?"

Xiao Yuanmu was a little angry and closed the account book. "What are you afraid of? Didn't we agree on this in Mount Lu?"

Xiao Lengyue was too embarrassed to eat grapes, so she sat up straighter and said softly:

"We are always discussing whether the master has feelings for Wumian, but have you ever thought about whether Wumian has feelings for the master? He doesn't even know about this until now."

Xiao Yuanmu rolled his eyes cutely. Until now, Xiao Lengyue still thought that Zhao Wumian knew nothing. In fact, as early as when they were in Lushan, Xiao Yuanmu had already sold out Xiao Lengyue.

This childhood sweetheart pair tells each other everything and has no secrets from each other.

Zhao Wumian knows everything.

She held up her slightly puffed chest and said casually:
"Then why don't you just make love with him for a night while you're drunk? If you're pregnant, give birth to the baby secretly and tell him that this is the child you had with another man, and that he is of royal blood of Chen country. Let him find a way to adopt the baby to Luo Chaoyan and save the country in a roundabout way. This way, you don't have to worry about whether you two have feelings for each other..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lengyue immediately became anxious, stood up, and got angry, which was unusual for him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!? How can Wumian think that I am with..."

The girls in the hall were all startled, with looks of fear in their eyes. Qing Yan also looked at them in surprise, not understanding why the former palace master and the palace lord suddenly had a quarrel.

Xiao Lengyue didn't finish her words because she was too embarrassed to say anything more. She sat down angrily, took a deep breath, and her bulging chest was about to burst out.

"Anyway, don't mention this again."

Xiao Yuanmu was scolded loudly by Xiao Lengyue, but his expression did not change at all. Instead, he showed an inexplicable smile, "Why are you so anxious? Are you so afraid of being misunderstood by him?"

"Don't use provocation. I have been in the martial arts world for decades and my reputation has always been clean. I cannot accept being misunderstood by you."

Xiao Yuanmu hummed, then moved closer and whispered in her ear.

"Then let's confirm whether he has any bad intentions towards you. I'll give you a solution..."

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue frowned slightly, "How can a teacher be such a shameless person?"

"Food and sex are human nature, what's the shame? Anyway, sooner or later we have to try it, why keep delaying? You too, after all, are a martial arts master, why are you still hesitating at this time, this is not like you."

Xiao Lengyue hesitated for a while, and was pressed step by step by Xiao Yuanmu, so she gritted her teeth.

"Let's try it."

After she finished speaking, she made up her mind and hurried up the stairs. The sound of her footsteps made the girls around her nervously jump and their faces turned pale.

Ever since Xiao Lengyue stepped down as Palace Master, she has always been gentle and never gets angry...

Xiao Yuanmu snorted lightly, not caring about this at all...otherwise why would people say she was a demon woman?

Apart from Luo Chaoyan and the Queen Mother, Xiao Yuanmu never cared how many women were around Zhao Wumian.

That is to say, when he first learned about Xiao Lengyue's plan, he was sulking for a long time, but was soon coaxed by Zhao Wumian, and now he has long since let it go.

The demeanor of a great woman.

But the girls around him were still cautious and the atmosphere was tense. They just thought that Xiao Yuanmu and Xiao Lengyue were arguing, and they were afraid that they would do something wrong and be used as a punching bag.

The originally lively and joyous atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.

Until suddenly, there was another "hissing" sound with sparks flying, and a firecracker was picked up, lit, and thrown at Xiao Yuanmu.

The man was experienced and calculated the time of the firecrackers carefully. He pinched a 'instant explosion' and saw the firecracker flying to the small table in front of Xiao Yuanmu. Before Xiao Yuanmu could raise his head, the firecracker suddenly made a deafening explosion.

bang——

The depressing hall was frightened by the explosion and screams broke out everywhere.

"The former palace master is throwing firecrackers for fun again?"

"Scared me……"

Xiao Yuanmu was still thinking about the matter between Zhao Wumian and Xiao Lengyue. The firecracker exploded before she could deflect it. It definitely couldn't hurt her, but it just reminded her of her memories in Lin'an.

Xiao Yuanmu glanced sideways and saw Zhao Wumian standing in front of the fireworks, casually throwing a firecracker in his hand, and smiling at her:

"What day is today? Why did you buy so many firecrackers?"

Xiao Yuanmu stared at Zhao Wumian and spoke.

"You remember?"

"Why else would I throw firecrackers at you?" Zhao Wumian threw the firecrackers and grinned.

The two men stared at each other, but before they could speak, beautiful girls gathered around them, blocking their view.

"Young Master, when did you come back?" "Young Master, look, we are all wearing red dresses today, it's so festive."

"The Palace Master and the Former Palace Master have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Yes, yes, the Palace Master and the former Palace Master have had a quarrel. If the Young Master doesn't come back, the building might be demolished!"

Chirping, pearls and emeralds are around, and the fragrance is refreshing.

Qingyan also hurried in, lifting her skirt, but unfortunately there were too many people and she couldn't squeeze in close, so she could only stare at Zhao Wumian from the outside.

Zhao Wumian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked through the girls to Xiao Yuanmu, "Did you have a fight with your aunt?"

Xiao Yuanmu covered her pretty face with a round fan, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and did not give a direct answer, but said casually: "Then go and comfort your aunt."

"You are so old and still quarreling..." Zhao Wumian threw down the firecrackers, waved to Luo Xiangzhu who was standing beside him, and then said to Xiao Yuanmu:

"Take the little princess to eat something, I'll go see my aunt."

Luo Xiangzhu stood obediently on one side, with her hands on her belly, looking elegant and noble. When she heard the words, she blinked her beautiful eyes and lowered her little face, feeling a little embarrassed.

She was not very familiar with girls like Zeng Lengyue and was a little shy.

Although Luo Xiangzhu is the daughter of a vassal king, Xiao Yuanmu has a good impression of this little mute and waved his fan casually.

"Go now, come down for lunch later, and don't return to the palace tonight."

Hearing this, Zhao Wumian paused slightly.

Luo Chaoyan and the Queen Mother want him to have dinner in the palace tonight, and Xiao Yuanmu and Xiao Lengyue must want to too.

How does this make him choose?
Qingyan finally squeezed in at this moment, breathing softly, her pretty face flushed with excitement, and her ethereal little face smiled innocently at Zhao Wumian.

"Yes, we bought so many fireworks. After dinner, we will set them off together and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival... It's been a long time since I set off fireworks with the young master."

"Yes, yes." The girls around responded.

Zhao Wumian pondered for a moment and smiled at them.

"Well, I'm not leaving tonight."

"Great!"

There was an immediate cheer in the hall.

Zhao Wumian planned to go to the palace later and bring Luo Chaoyan and the Queen Mother with him to have dinner together.

If it were before, he naturally would not have had this idea, but since he disappeared once, the relationship between Xiao Yuanmu and Luo Chaoyan, the Queen Mother, has obviously eased a bit.

Since there is a possibility of getting along harmoniously, he should naturally try to let them interact more.

Anyway, he is here, so there is no possibility of a fight.

Thinking of this, and being infected by the girls' excitement, Zhao Wumian's mood suddenly became very good, as if he saw a scene of the girls living in harmony together in the future.

He went upstairs and, led by the girl, came to Xiao Lengyue's door.

But there was a faint sound of water splashing from inside, and Xiao Lengyue was obviously taking a bath.

Zhao Wumian did not push the door abruptly, in case he saw something he shouldn't see, and knocked on the door with a smile.

"Aunt, I'm back! I heard you had a fight with Yuan Mu?"

Crash---

There was a sudden sound of splashing water in the house, as if someone suddenly stood up. After a moment, Xiao Lengyue's voice was heard, as she calmed down.

"Who made her mad at me... Come in and talk."

?

Zhao Wumian hesitated for a few seconds before pushing the door open. The room was filled with mist, the lights were not on, and the windows were closed, but the light was bright.

What comes into view is a screen, and behind the screen, you can see a beautiful and graceful figure. Because she is standing sideways, the curves of her body are full of tension, and she is bulging where she should be bulging, and straight where she should be straight.

The shape of light is highlighted vividly at this moment.

Zhao Wumian didn't want to take advantage of Xiao Lengyue. He just glanced at her when he entered the room and then looked away. He sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of water, and asked curiously:

"Don't worry about what Auntie and Yuanmu are arguing about. I've finally come back, so I should be happy. We'll set off fireworks together in the evening."

Xiao Lengyue found it funny. She sat down in the bathtub, splashing water and making a seductive sound. However, there was no suggestive shadow behind the screen. She said:
"I know, I know. There was no quarrel. You must have heard the exaggerated words used by those girls in the hall... I heard that you have been in Hetuo recently?"

"Yes, I killed Zhu Jiutian in Hetuo... By the way, now that I have recovered my memory, I know that Sister Jiu'er had arranged a marriage for me, and it was with Luo Xiangzhu, the daughter of the King of Yan... Did Auntie know about this?"

"Child marriage? You never mentioned this to me..." Xiao Lengyue was slightly stunned.
"If I had known, I would have taken you to Yanyun to get married when you were eighteen... No, eighteen is too early, let's go to twenty."

"I brought her here. Auntie, remember to give her a big red envelope later. She can't speak because of her jade mouth. I hope Auntie won't dislike her for being mute."

"What's wrong with being a mute? I'll just treat you well." Xiao Lengyue turned sideways and straightened her waist.

Zhao Wumian watched as the beautiful figure behind the screen suddenly had a semicircular arc, which was extremely tall and even faintly visible.

So round.

Zhao Wumian looked away, subconsciously thinking that his aunt's figure was not inferior to that of the Empress Dowager.

He thought for a few seconds and changed the subject:
"I found the Dragon Transformation Gu from my hometown of Jiuli. It is the foundation of Zhu Jiutian's life. The Imperial Master is helping me improve it. Now I am still short of one ingredient, Ice Tear. Do we have it in Taixuan Palace?"

Xiao Lengyue narrowed her beautiful eyes. How come Zhao Wumian didn't even stop for a breath? Did she have a bad figure?

Xiao Lengyue was slightly absent-minded, splashing water and gently washing her white balls. The arc behind the screen rose and fell, and she casually said:

"Ningbing Tears can condense the inner breath, improve the quality, and widen the meridians. Goguryeo also has a special cold-type martial arts method that works with Ningbing Tears. Only with that method can the sum of one and one be greater than two. We don't have this method, so we didn't force it."

Xiao Lengyue comforted him, "It's okay, Auntie will help you get it. The Wuxiang Emperor must have frozen tears on him."

"Wuxiang Huang... the only martial arts champion of Goguryeo? I heard that he was from the same era as Guiyi Zhenren. How good was his martial arts?"

Xiao Lengyue recalled for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I have never fought with him, I just know that he is quite famous. I will know after I fight him in Yanyun..."

Zhao Wumian knew that Goguryeo and the Rong people must have secretly allied, but this was information obtained by Prince Yan. At present, Goguryeo was still a vassal state of Dali on the surface, so it was not yet time for Zhao Wumian to take action.

I don’t even know where Emperor Wuxiang is.

While he was considering, Xiao Lengyue had already stood up, and there was only a slight rustling sound.

Zhao Wumian didn't look at the screen, but heard Xiao Lengyue say, "Wumian, get a bath towel for auntie. It's in the closet."

Zhao Wumian was a little speechless. He drank the water in the cup, stood up and went to the closet. As soon as he opened the closet door, a faint feminine fragrance rushed into his nose.

The closet is filled with neatly folded bellybands, in white, yellow, purple and red, dazzling to the eyes.

Zhao Wumian pretended he saw nothing and took out a white bath towel and hung it on the screen.

Xiao Lengyue stepped out of the bathtub and walked behind the screen wrapped only in a bath towel. Her slender shoulders, snow-white skin, and even her straight white thighs made Zhao Wumian take a quick glance and then quickly look away.

Xiao Lengyue narrowed her almond-shaped eyes again, secretly thinking that Zhao Wumian's reaction...

She smiled and asked, "Why are you panicking?"

"I'm not a child. There are differences between men and women. Auntie should pay more attention to this."

"It's just that your heart is not pure."

Xiao Lengyue sat down at the small table, leaving a trail of clean, small footprints on the wooden floor.

She crossed her legs casually, and the bath towel looked like a short skirt, instantly turning her whiteness pink.

"This has nothing to do with whether your heart is pure or not..." Zhao Wumian remembered that Xiao Lengyue was not so casual with him before, so why is she so open today?

Maybe she was happy to see that he had recovered his memory?

Gululu————

Xiao Lengyue poured herself a glass of water, holding the glass in her small hands, and asked curiously:

"I know Zhu Jiutian is the ancestor of Jiuli, but his horizontal training skills are extraordinary. Even if I cut his neck a dozen times, I'm afraid I won't be able to get even a single layer of skin off... You must have suffered a lot since you are so determined to kill him. Why don't you send a message to me and the court and wait for our support?"

When Zhao Wumian mentioned this, his eyes immediately turned cold.

"Sister Jiu'er is poisoned. The root of the problem is that Zhu Jiutian wanted to kill people and steal treasures more than 30 years ago. Later, he came to Central Plains again and again to murder Jiu'er... If it weren't for him, how could Jiu'er disappear? The enemy is right in front of me, and I don't have the patience to wait for several months..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Lengyue's eyes changed. She had no idea about this, and Zhao Wumian had never told her before.

Xiao Lengyue felt the anger rising from the bottom of her heart, and she was so angry that she had difficulty breathing. She suddenly slapped the wooden table beside her, "Zhu Jiutian has the guts to do this!?"

bang——

The wooden table cracked into pieces and turned into powder immediately, but the movement was too big and the bath towel was not wrapped tightly, so it slid down along the white skin and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, everything in front of Zhao Wumian's eyes turned white. Under the slender and delicate collarbone was an extremely tall white mass, and there was a small black mole above the left mass.

Have big ambitions and be happily reunited!
Zhao Wumian could no longer hold back, his breathing was choked, he looked away and stood up hurriedly, "Aunt, bath towel!"

Xiao Lengyue came back to her senses, a blush unconsciously appeared on her pretty face. She looked at Zhao Wumian's expression before bending down to pick up the bath towel to cover herself.

"You never told me about Zhu Jiutian before... Come on, come on, hurry up, I just took a shower and I'm all wet. How can I wipe it if you're here?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Wumian didn't dare to stay any longer, and quickly pushed the door open and left, then heard his voice outside the door.

"By the way, I want to bring the Emperor and the Queen Mother here tonight for a simple meal. What do you think, Auntie?"

Xiao Lengyue was wrapped in a bath towel, feeling confused, and said casually:

"Just don't fight. Do whatever you want. I don't care about your unclear relationship with those two women in the court."

"Just having your words is enough. Thank you, Auntie."

Tap tap tap————

Hearing the footsteps of Zhao Wumian gradually fading away outside the door, Xiao Lengyue gradually calmed down, with a strange look in her eyes.

It was Xiao Yuanmu who asked her to show more body to Zhao Wumian in order to test whether Zhao Wumian had any evil thoughts about her. That's why Xiao Lengyue let Zhao Wumian into the house and asked him to take the bath towel.

Now it seems... Zhao Wumian must be interested in her?
"Pooh."

Thinking of this, Xiao Lengyue's pretty face turned even redder, and she cursed Zhao Wumian inwardly for not learning well since childhood...
