Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 82 Special You
Guan Yunshu looked surprised and doubtful, "I never knew there was a secret passage here..."

As they were talking, the two of them looked around. It was all white, and they didn't even know where the entrance to the secret passage was. If they searched inch by inch, it would probably take until dawn.

At this moment, Guan Yunshu suddenly sensed something, and looked coldly towards a tree a hundred steps away from the two of them. Then he took out a flying needle and flicked it with his finger.

The flying needles shot silently towards the treetops. With a crisp "ding" sound, a figure fell straight down from the tree. However, this person was obviously a master. He adjusted his body shape in the air and landed on the ground with both feet in a graceful posture... But a small booklet also fell into the snow, and the four big words "Secret History of the Harem" could be vaguely seen.

As soon as this person landed on the ground, he did not hide to guard against hidden weapons. Instead, he grabbed the Secret History of the Harem first, and then raised his face with an angry expression, "Who are you? How dare you shoot..."

Zhao Wumian was frowning and stood up from the snow.

“…Good shooting!” Chu Changdong immediately turned from anger to joy, and said with a smile: “I thought the young sword master was only good at swordsmanship, but I never thought he had such a powerful and tricky hidden weapon. If the Tang Sect in Shu saw the young sword master’s skills, I’m afraid they would split up on the spot…”

Guan Yunshu also stood up and understood why Chu Changdong had protected Zhao Wumian before. It turned out that he was a member of the Sword Sect.

"The monk in the temple is here too. Looking at your appearance, it turns out that you are also the lover of the young sword master..."

Before he finished his words, another flying needle whizzed towards him.

Chu Changdong was horrified, and quickly raised the scabbard in his hand to block, and there was another crisp "ding" sound.

Guan Yunshu's expression was extremely cold, and he slowly put down his little hand.

Zhao Wumian raised his hand gently, "Why are you here?"

Chu Changdong wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Guan Yunshu with lingering fear. He thought to himself that the Young Sword Master was a role model for others as he could even make such a fierce woman his lover.

He patted the Secret History of the Harem on his legs to shake off the snow on it, and then pointed in a direction with his scabbard, "I knew that the young sword master wanted to follow Ye Wancang, so I helped the young master to scout the place in advance."

After saying that, he stood up and jumped to an ordinary open space. He raised his hand and grabbed a piece of white cloth, and said with a slightly proud tone, "The entrance to the secret passage is here."

Zhao Wumian was a little surprised. Chu Changdong was quite capable. It would be a waste of his talent to be the branch leader in Pingyang.

When I looked over, I saw a stone door that was who knows how thick it was laid on the ground.

"I followed Ye Wancang all the way here. He obviously had an appointment with someone. He waited for half an hour before the stone door opened, so there should be no secret signal." Chu Changdong touched the minibus and recalled a little before saying, "But I was afraid of being exposed, so I didn't dare to go in, and I have been waiting here for the young sword master."

Zhao Wumian stretched out his hand and pressed the stone door, feeling an extremely thick and rough touch. It would be difficult to break it with brute force.

He nodded slightly, "Thank you for your help, Captain Chu. What else did you find?"

"There are more than one person who will support Ye Wancang." Chu Changdong became serious. As the leader of a branch, he knew what it meant to have such a secret passage on Phoenix Mountain. He looked at Guan Yunshu and said, "Master Guan, there must be a big problem inside your Little Western Paradise."

Guan Yunshu remained silent. There was actually more than one spy... How many people in Xiaoxitian had been infiltrated by Dong Yan?
"Did you see their faces clearly?" Zhao Wumian asked.

"I heard more than one person's voice, um..." Chu Changdong shook his head slightly, and then his expression became strange again, "The first thing they said was 'Damn it, how dare you ruin our good thing', which was obviously scolding the young sword master. I immediately wanted to rush up and chop them with a sword, but for the sake of the overall situation, I endured the humiliation..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Zhao Wumian rubbed his brows, "Nothing else?"

Chu Changdong shook his head, and then looked at Guan Yunshu, "I have just tried this stone door, and it can only be opened from the inside. If you want to rely on brute force... I can't break it alone, but if I call Master Dongxuan over, I think it can be done."

Dongxuan is a master who builds a bridge between heaven and earth, so he will naturally not be stopped by a mere stone gate.

Guan Yunshu calmed down and shook his head lightly, "We want to catch all the spies in one fell swoop, and breaking the secret passage will make too much noise, which will only alert the enemy and make them more careful and not reveal their tracks."

"Then wait here?" Chu Changdong pondered for a while and suggested, "Wait for Ye Wancang to come out, and the three of us will work together to capture him. Isn't he the apprentice of the spear master? I have wanted to meet him for a long time."

Zhao Wumian also shook his head and rejected it. "If we kill him, we won't be able to catch the spy. Wouldn't that just alert the enemy? Can you ensure that you can get the identity of the spy from him?"

"Ye Wancang is the disciple of the spear master after all. He has been in the underworld for more than 20 years and is a real man... I don't think we can get anything out of him." Chu Changdong frowned, "Then we have no way to deal with them? Is there no way to lure them all out?"

Guan Yunshu kept silent. "If you want to lure the snake out of its hole, it depends on what they want." Zhao Wumian pondered for a moment, and then thought of the monks' idle chat in Xiaoxitian just now.

If the spies subtly instilled in them the idea that using the Pearl Relics and Treasure Tower to remove poison from the prince could become a state religion, what was their purpose?
Zhao Wumian calmed himself down and carefully sorted out the whole story in his mind.

Ten days ago, rumors were circulating in Xiaoxitian. At that time, the prince had just fallen into a coma, so the court blocked the news. Tie Luosha secretly protected Luo Chaoyan and returned to the capital. Su Qingqi set out to Qinfengzhai to meet her. At that time, I must have also traveled thousands of miles to the vicinity of Qinfengzhai, and then died suddenly there... The person who poisoned her colluded with the Rong tribe and wanted to kidnap Luo Chaoyan. After they were defeated, they announced the matter to the world.

The rumors about Xiao Xitian must be related to that person in the court. It was obviously arranged long ago. What was he after? What did Xiao Xitian have that he needed?

Pearl relic treasure tower.

Or perhaps it was to prevent the pearl relic pagoda from falling into the hands of the prince so as to prevent the detoxification.

The spy belongs to Dong Yan, and Dong Yan can be sure that it is the power of the person behind the scenes.

Zhao Wumian suddenly looked at Chu Changdong and asked, "You have been in Xiaoxitian for so long. Have you heard that the court has sent someone to obtain the Pearl Relics Treasure Tower to detoxify the prince?"

Chu Changdong spread his hands and said, "I'm not a high-ranking official in Xiao Xitian, so Master Dongxuan wouldn't reveal such things to me."

Guan Yunshu also shook her head. She had just returned to Xiaoxitian and had not yet inquired about such matters. She just said firmly: "Xiaoxitian does not care about political affairs, so it is impossible for them to lend out the Pearl Relics Treasure Tower."

"Normally I won't lend it to you." Zhao Wumian shook his head, and then said in a deep voice:
"But after spreading the rumor, Xiao Xitian obviously has no way to deal with those deadbeats. If the imperial emissary visits Xiao Xitian at this time, uses his power to help Xiao Xitian resolve this crisis, and then persuades Xiao Xitian with emotion and reason, and asks for the real pearl relic treasure tower to detoxify the prince as a condition to replace Wugong Mountain as the 'state religion'... Will Master Dongxuan be tempted?"

Guan Yunshu turned around and looked at Zhao Wumian with a bit of surprise.

The conditions for becoming a state religion are absolutely attractive to the martial arts sects. Even Master Dongxuan said before, "Buddhism is Buddhism, and secularism is secularism. Both are indispensable. Otherwise, it is just deceiving oneself and pretending to be noble."

Zhao Wumian raised three fingers, "Helping Xiao Xitian resolve this crisis is a favor, ennobling Xiao Xitian as the state religion is a benefit, and helping the prince detoxify is loyalty... With all the benefits, benefits, and loyalty, I'm afraid no one would not be tempted."

Chu Changdong also reacted and took a breath of cold air, "Hiss~ Isn't this a chance that I picked up for free? Xiao Xitian was established nearly a thousand years ago. It has prospered and fallen into the trough. Now, as long as we lend out the Pearl Relic Pagoda, we can at least ensure its prosperity for a hundred years."

Zhao Wumian gently spread his hands, "If Xiao Xitian became the state religion in Master Dongxuan's generation, he would definitely go down in history. If I were Master Dongxuan, I probably wouldn't be able to resist such a temptation... But is there really such a good thing in this world that can be delivered to your door? This matter was manipulated by Dongyan. They poisoned the prince, how could Xiao Xitian possibly remove the poison?"

Guan Yunshu was silent for a moment, then whispered, "The envoys sent by the court to Xiaoxitian to seek the pearl relic treasure tower... have all been replaced by Dongyan?"

When Chu Changdong heard this, he suddenly felt his scalp tingling and cold sweat soaked his back.

"If Xiao Xitian really lent the Pearl Relics Pagoda, it would be like helping others. Dongyan would not only get the Nine Bells, but also ensure that the prince would not be poisoned." Zhao Wumian looked at Xiao Xitian's Glazed Pagoda and whispered, "Master Dongxuan will definitely go with them. Who knows, even he will be ambushed."

Guan Yunshu raised his eyes to look at Zhao Wumian's profile, pursed his lips and said nothing. If it weren't for Zhao Wumian, would Xiao Xitian have fallen into decline?
"But there are two possibilities. First, Master Dongxuan is a spy." Zhao Wumian stretched out two fingers, then bent one and smiled. "Second, I guessed wrong. They are not after the Nine Bells at all."

After saying that, Zhao Wumian suddenly took out a small porcelain bottle, calculated Ye Wancang's position based on the movements of the little beetle, and then said:
"These are all my guesses. Without evidence, they can't be true. But there must be something we want in this secret passage. Now that we are here, we naturally can't go back empty-handed... I think Ye Wancang will come out soon. I have a way to sneak in. The risk is a bit high, and Captain Chu will have to suffer a little."

Chu Changdong patted his chest and said, "No one in the martial arts world is afraid of pain. With this experience, I, Old Chu, have gone through the sword and gun battles with the Young Sword Master. This will give me something to talk about when I drink with my old friends in the future!"

Guan Yunshu was still looking at Zhao Wumian's profile, but he was thinking that there was actually a third possibility.

The envoy was not replaced by Dong Yan, and Dong Yan's hands might not be so long. Dong Yan might just want to kill him halfway... So if Xiao Xitian refuses to let the envoy in, or kills him on the spot, then Xiao Xitian will have no choice but to burn his boats and follow Zhao Wumian on the path of the "Empress Faction".

However, Zhao Wumian did not mention the third possibility, perhaps because he wanted to win over Xiao Xitian to become the "Empress Faction".

Guan Yunshu never lies, and she hates it when others lie to her... She is not sure whether this counts as Zhao Wumian lying to her, but she enjoys it.

After all, if she were forced to make a choice now, for Zhao Wumian's sake, she would definitely be more inclined to the "Empress Faction" in her heart.

But then she found that Zhao Wumian gave her a look that meant, "I deliberately concealed it, and you are not angry?"

Guan Yunshu was slightly stunned, and then for some reason he turned his eyes away, and was actually a little afraid to respond.
