Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 42 A clever plan
"For people in the martial arts world, what they value is nothing more than fame and wealth, martial arts and magic weapons, beauties and fine horses. Xiang Zhu thinks that searching for three people in the vast city of Taiyuan is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is better to lure them with benefits. I heard that there are three thousand-mile horses in the mansion of the sixth uncle, which are the things that people in the martial arts world are eager to see. Every minute counts. It is said that killing one person every ten steps and leaving no trace in a thousand miles is even more impressive. In addition, if there is a precious horse on the way for the three people to escape, it will be like sending charcoal in the snow..."

As Luo Xiangzhu was writing, he looked up at Zhao Wumian. He probably didn't expect that such a rude and cold guy could have such literary talent and could write such a good poem... Unfortunately, the words were too colloquial, so Luo Xiangzhu changed it into some "classical Chinese".

While Luo Xiangzhu was writing, Zhao Wumian was looking at her tearful face. Upon closer inspection, she did look somewhat similar to Luo Chaoyan...it seemed like they were really sisters.

Luo Xiangzhu noticed that Zhao Wumian was staring at her, and thought that he was planning to make her into a puff. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she turned her body to the side as if to cover up her ears and steal the bell, so as not to let Zhao Wumian see her.

Zhao Wumian came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and continued: "Recently, the Rong tribe has been harassing the border for a long time. Why not take advantage of this momentum to hold a 'Heroes' Meeting' in Taiyuan City, select a young hero, and give him a thousand-mile horse as a reward. The condition is that he must go to the border with the other soldiers to resist the Rong tribe until the beginning of next spring...

... With such fame, wealth, loyalty, chivalry, and precious horses, I believe it will attract the hearts of all the heroes... But the three villains will definitely not dare to participate in the Heroes' Meeting, so the key point of this plan is to release the horses to circle Taiyuan from tomorrow. It seems to show the world the body of the Sixth Uncle's precious horse and the intention of holding a Heroes' Meeting, so as to increase the enthusiasm of all the heroes to participate in the Heroes' Meeting. In fact, these three horses are bait..."

Luo Xiangzhu changed the word "bait" to "fish bait". Seeing Zhao Wumian looking at her, she wrote on another piece of paper: [Sixth Uncle likes fishing. Changing it to fish bait will make it easier to convince him.]

At this moment, she was completely like a little sheep that Zhao Wumian could manipulate and flatten. She could only try her best to please him, otherwise if she accidentally upset Zhao Wumian...

"Hmm... Hmm, that makes sense." Zhao Wumian thought that Luo Xiangzhu was worthy of being born into a royal family. Regardless of whether he had a delicate personality or not, he definitely had a thick black side in his heart.

"If we can lure the three thieves out, I'm sure it will ease Uncle Six's worries. If not, holding a hero gathering can also raise Uncle Six's reputation and win the hearts of the people... Xiang Zhu took the initiative to come up with this shallow plan, I hope Uncle Six will not blame Xiang Zhu for taking the initiative."

After saying that, Zhao Wumian saw that Luo Xiangzhu had already written half a page. He glanced at it for a few seconds and found that Luo Xiangzhu's words were gorgeous, with quotations from classics and smooth and beautiful writing. It was many times more enjoyable to read than Zhao Wumian's plain language, but the original meaning remained unchanged and it was more convincing... Anyone who read it would think that this was Luo Xiangzhu's heartfelt words written personally.

After reading for a while, Zhao Wumian felt that he was really illiterate.
But the effect was very good. He nodded slightly, and then walked straight to the bathtub behind the screen. Luo Xiangzhu was stunned for a moment, then stood up instantly, his face flushed, his expression ashamed and angry, and he tried to grab it.

Zhao Wumian could be seen bending slightly behind the screen, then straightening up again, exiting from behind the screen, and stopping Luo Xiangzhu who was running towards him with one hand, saying:
"I hope Miss Luo can deliver this letter to the King of Jin truthfully... To put it bluntly, if I can't see the King of Jin walking his three thousand-mile horses in Taiyuan City, or if Miss Luo lets people know that I was here tonight, then this bellyband will appear at the auction soon... Am I clear?"

Zhao Wumian would not be so perverted as to steal the bellyband to threaten Luo Chaoyan's sisters. This move was just to scare her... Time was short and Zhao Wumian had no time to win Luo Xiangzhu's trust, so he could only resort to this last resort.

While struggling, Luo Xiangzhu noticed that the bellyband next to the bathtub had disappeared. Her little face immediately turned pale and she started crying again. Unfortunately, she couldn't speak, so she could only purse her lips, sniffle and shed tears silently.

But she was also very smart. While sniffing, she wrote on a blank piece of rice paper, 'Be sure to deliver this letter to Sixth Uncle. You don't have to come back without a reply.' She showed it to Zhao Wumian. Zhao Wumian nodded, and then she came to the door of the house and knocked three times.

The Prince of Jin was probably asleep at this time, but Zhao Wumian had to make sure that the Prince of Jin received the letter and gave a reply, otherwise his trip tonight would probably be in vain... Just wake the Prince of Jin up, after all, she was his own niece, could the Prince of Jin still blame Luo Xiangzhu?
Zhao Wumian hid in the dark with his hand on the hilt of the knife. Soon a maid pushed the door open and came in. She was shocked to see Luo Xiangzhu's red eyes.

Luo Xiangzhu handed the rice paper to her, and the maid took a few glances before she understood... The young lady was sad because she saw the King of Jin being bullied by the unknown chivalrous knights. She suddenly felt how kind-hearted her young lady was, and left quickly with an expression that she would definitely fulfill her mission. After the maid left, Zhao Wumian emerged from the shadows and sighed softly, "If I hadn't been dying, I wouldn't have wanted to bully you. I don't ask Miss Luo to understand me, but I hope you know that as long as Miss Luo can help me achieve my goal, I will be willing to take responsibility for my crime in the future."

Hearing this, Luo Xiangzhu cried and wrote on the paper, [I don't want you to apologize for your crime. I just want you to return the bellyband to me, and I will definitely help you. Didn't you feed me poison? ]

"Miss Luo is a chaste and virtuous person. I know you are not afraid of death, but this." Zhao Wumian shook his head slightly. "Until the King of Jin gives a specific answer, I will not leave, nor will I return your bellyband."

【Shameless! 】

"I had to do this. Sorry."

Luo Xiangzhu slumped in the chair, knowing that she couldn't get the bellyband back, she calmed down a little, wiped her tears, and wrote seriously: [Are you really going to give it back to me? ]

Zhao Wumian sat down beside her. "If the Thousand-Li Horse can appear in Taiyuan City tomorrow morning, then Miss Luo can go to Wujiu Temple in the evening to burn incense and worship Buddha under the name 'Wang Changzhi', and someone will hand you the bellyband and the antidote."

Wujiu Temple is the branch temple of Xiaoxitian Temple in Taiyuan.

【Man or woman?】

"Of course it's a woman. I promise not to let any man see your bellyband."

[Are you a eunuch? ]

"……no."

Zhao Wumian began to feel that Luo Xiangzhu was somewhat humorous.

[Why don't you come and pay it back in person? Are you afraid that I will have someone beat you up?]

Luo Xiangzhu wrote a sentence on the paper, and Zhao Wumian lowered his head to read it, appearing very patient. Upon seeing this, he shook his head slightly.
"If the Thousand-Li Horse shows up tomorrow morning, I will either be gone or dead. If you can see me in Taiyuan City tomorrow night, it will only be my corpse."
