I use my daughter's body to cut down the rivers and lakes

Chapter 126 Dead wood becomes a sword

Killing intent is a double-edged sword that can hurt others and backfire on oneself.

If Liu Qi had known about the side effects of killing intent and the method of condensing killing intent hidden in the seven moves of the Crazy Sword, she would naturally not have chosen to practice the Crazy Sword.

But now that the matter has come to this, Liu Qi can only look forward.

At least for now, it seems that Liu Qi has faced top masters who are far better than her several times, and she is still alive and well. The role of murderous intent is irreplaceable!

Whether it hurts others or backfires on oneself, ultimately depends on the individual's use.

Liu Qi used his own true energy as the outer membrane, carrying the murderous intention and running through the meridians, which could be regarded as a short-term solution to the problem of the backlash of the murderous intention.

But as the murderous intent grows stronger, once Liu Qi's own internal strength cannot keep up, causing the protective film formed by the true energy to be broken by the murderous intent wrapped in it, Liu Qi may be able to feel a killing blow at that time. The "pleasure" of invading the body.

Of course...it's too early to mention this now.

Through previous experiments at the Zaowang Temple, Liu Qi had a deeper understanding of murderous intent.

The essence of murderous intention is the concentration of murderous thoughts and the embodiment of human emotions.

For those who died at Liu Qi's hands, their reluctance, regret, hatred and many other strong negative emotions before death would be captured by the killing intent and then devoured to strengthen themselves.

Therefore, killing is the fastest way to increase the intention to kill.

Entering the Tao by killing is not an exaggeration.

But the disadvantage of doing this is also obvious, that is, the murderous intention grows too fast!

After Liu Qi and Luo Yuyan fought last night, the killing intention also increased significantly. This was because Liu Qi had the killing intention in his heart during the fight.

Liu Qi saw that Luo Yuyan was here for her life, so of course she could only treat him equally.

Killing intent does not distinguish between friend and foe, and one's own emotions will be captured and swallowed up by killing intent.

……

Liu Qi pursed her thin lips and cleared away all the distracting thoughts in her mind.

No matter what, the current murderous intention still does more good than harm to her.

As long as she doesn't lose her mind and kill thousands of people, the day when murderous intent invades her body is still far away.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, the sound of hurried footsteps finally sounded outside the courtyard.

Liu Qi had changed into clean clothes and was leaning against the window sill. She turned to look outside and saw a dark-skinned maid trotting in carrying a food box.

Because Cuixiang went home to take care of her sick mother, the kitchen would send another person to bring food to Liu Qi every day. Although everyone in the house knew that Liu Qi had a subtle identity, he was still a serious master after all. He could be more negligent in other aspects, but he still had to eat. Three meals a day are taken care of very thoughtfully.

This is exactly what Liu Qi wants.

The little black-skinned maid, like Cuixiang, was born in the Liu family. Because she was a bit ugly, she was assigned to do rough work in the kitchen, and her skin became tanned over the years.

The little black-skinned maid carried the food box into the house. First she hurriedly bowed to Liu Qi, then took out the food from the food box and placed them one by one in front of Liu Qi.

Although he looked fussy, his movements were very nimble. In just a few blinks, a bowl of cheese, a plate of steamed cakes, and a plate of small cold dishes were all piled up in front of Liu Qi.

Liu Qi raised his head and glanced at the maid, and happened to see the maid staring at Liu Qi with two round eyes. The two looked at each other, and the little maid quickly lowered her head.

"What's your name?" Liu Qi looked at his breakfast, recalling the neat movements of the black-skinned maid just now, thinking that it was a good material for practicing swordsmanship.

"Miss, my name is Chunyan." Although she has a plain appearance and dark complexion, her voice is as clear and sweet as a lark.

Liu Qi nodded, then stopped talking and concentrated on eating.

……

Not long after Chun Yan left, Zhang Cheng, the chief steward of Liu Mansion, came to the courtyard.

He had just stepped into the courtyard and subconsciously glanced at the window sill. Seeing that there was no one on the chair behind the window, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Every time he came in and saw his Lord sitting on the window sill, Zhang Cheng would feel frightened.

He stood at the open door of the main room, straightened his clothes, and then walked in with a sullen face.

Seeing Zhang Cheng come in, Liu Qi, who was playing the guqin, didn't even raise his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Luo Yuyan, the left protector of the Changle Gang, how much do you know about this person?"

"Luo Yuyan..." Zhang Cheng heard Liu Qi's words clearly before he could stand still, and then searched quickly in his mind.

After a while, Zhang Cheng, who had already prepared the draft, stepped forward and bowed and replied: "Luo Yuyan was originally an unknown wild girl from the countryside. By chance, she was taken in by Feng Tong, the former leader of the Changle Clan, and became her disciple. 'Yuyan' The name was given to him by Feng Tong."

"Luo Yuyan is extremely talented. She has become famous in the world in her early twenties. She was a popular figure among the younger generation of martial arts at that time. At that time, her reputation was louder than the four little flying cranes combined today!"

"By the way, when the general went south, she was the one who greeted him on behalf of the Changle Gang!"

……

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he secretly raised his head and glanced at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi had stopped playing the guqin, his eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking, and his face was solemn.

Seeing Liu Qi's expression of surprise, Zhang Cheng quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head. His heart suddenly rose to his throat. He swallowed, his Adam's apple rolled, and then he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this subordinate knows... …That’s all.”

Hearing this, Liu Qi's eyes suddenly turned and fell on Zhang Cheng, seeing his frightened look.

Liu Qi has already learned Luo Yuyan's martial arts.

Unexpectedly, her status in the world was as high as her martial arts skills.

There is no deputy gang leader in the Changle Gang. Under the gang leader are the two guardians on the left and right.

Luo Yuyan, as the Zuo Zuo Dharma Protector, can be said to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the Changle Gang.

In addition, her master was the former gang leader Feng Tong. Although he has passed away, there are still many close relatives in the family.

Feng Tong only has one direct disciple like Luo Yuyan, and his connections have naturally been passed on to his disciples. So if you really want to talk about it, Luo Yuyan's prestige in the gang is no weaker than that of the current gang leader Shen Lin.

……

"Luo Yuyan showed up in the capital last night, do you know about this?" Liu Qi stood up and walked to the window sill, standing with her hands behind her back and facing Zhang Cheng, and asked coldly.

"This... subordinates don't know!" Zhang Cheng caught a glimpse of the graceful figure by the window sill with his peripheral vision. He quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to take another look. Then he apologized, "The blockade in Beijing has been very strict these days, and my subordinates can't get out. I still hope Let the Lord forgive me..."

Liu Qi immediately turned around and waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Cheng's apology: "Okay, I know that this is not the fault of the boss. I was just asking casually."

After all, Luo Yuyan is a top expert, and she has a behemoth like the Changle Gang behind her. If she wants to enter the capital quietly, even if the wandering souls have already spread out, it is probably difficult to detect her movements.

If Wandering Soul was really that powerful, Black Prison Gate would not have been beaten so badly by the government and Feiyu Villa this time.

……

Liu Qi asked again about the situation of the noble family yesterday and today. Xia Yaoyao severely injured Wang Xiuming, and it was impossible to let the matter go away like this.

Sure enough, Zhang Cheng brought about the big event that just happened this morning.

An Guo Gong Wang Renyuan and Qing Guo Gong's prince Xia Yangfeng bumped into each other when they went to court. An Guo Gong didn't know what he said to Qing Guo Gong's prince. Qing Guo Gong's prince directly attacked An Guo Gong. The two went to court in front of all the officials. , fighting in the palace.

The aftermath of the fight also caused the collapse of a side hall that had been in disrepair for a long time, making the emperor furious. He ordered Duke An to go home and think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and made Duke Qing's son to kneel in the Jinluan Hall. He has not gotten up yet!

Immediately afterwards, the news that Wang Xiuming, the second son of Duke An Guo, was injured by his fiancée, Xia Yaoyao, the daughter of Duke Qing, began to spread among the officials in the previous court. After the next court, the news soon spread from the court. To the people.

When Liu Qi heard Zhang Cheng's words, he knew that someone must be behind this.

Is it Liu Shijiu and the others?

Or which one is An Guo Gong or Qing Guo Gong?

Could it be the internal agent of the Qingguo government?

The population of Qingguo Gongfu is relatively simple.

There is only one old lady left among the older generation, who is the biological mother of Xia Zhengze, the Duke of Qing.

There are eight sons in total among the legitimate concubines of the old Duke of Qing. The current Duke of Qing, Xia Zhengze, is the seventh, and he is the only one who is still alive.

Xia Zhengze, the Duke of Qing Dynasty, had four sons and two daughters.

The eldest son was born as a concubine and was named Xia Yangyue. He worked in the frontier of Daqi and had not returned to the capital for many years.

The second son, Xia Yangfeng, was a direct descendant and served in the Forbidden Army with Xia Zhengze, Duke of Qing.

The third son, Xia Yanglan, was born as a concubine and studied in an academy.

The youngest son, Xia Yangxun, is a direct descendant. He has just reached the age of fifteen and is still practicing martial arts at home.

The eldest daughter has long since married away, and the only daughter still around is Xia Yaoyao, who is three years older than Xia Yangxun and one year younger than the third son, Xia Yanglan.

This insider may not necessarily be the Xia family, but may also be a steward of Duke Qing's mansion, or a close confidant of Duke Qing's father and son. In short, this person's status should not be low.

But... this is Liu Shijiu's business, and it's not Liu Qi's turn to have a headache.

The only thing that surprised Liu Qi was that it was not just Wang Xiuming and Xia Yaoyao who appeared in Tianhong Tower yesterday.

Also present were the sisters-in-law Xu Fangfei and Fang Ruolan, as well as Liu Qi and Liu Xiangxiang.

But among the many rumors in the market, the four of them seemed to be invisible, and no one mentioned them.

Who on earth picked the four of them out?

Fang family?

Liu Qi shook his head silently, it was unlikely.

She had already investigated the details secretly, and the Fang family should not have this kind of strength.

Then who could it be...

never mind!

Liu Qixin thought that one more thing would be better than one less thing. She naturally wanted someone to come forward to remove them from this matter.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Zhang Cheng. After pondering for a moment, she ordered: "From today on, have your people keep an eye on Xianju Tower and report anything strange to me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"Besides, at Fuxiangyuan, can you clean it?" Liu Qi suddenly asked in a leisurely tone, "But don't let the government take care of you."

Zhang Cheng's body trembled suddenly, and he clenched his back teeth and replied: "It has been completely cut off. Even if six doors pry open their mouths, they will never be found on us!"

Liu Qi's eyes rested on Zhang Cheng for a long time, then he slowly came to the table and sat down, continued to play with the guqin on the table, and said slowly: "The Fuxiang Courtyard was almost wiped out by the government. Now the Shang in Beijing Among the remaining wandering souls, you are the only one who can contact outside Beijing."

"General Manager Zhang..." Liu Qi suddenly extended his voice and said in a calm tone, "You should understand what I mean, right?"

Boom!

Zhang Cheng suddenly felt as if there was a thunderous explosion in his mind!

It's over, it's over!

Last time "Judge" Yu An rebelled, he was lucky enough to escape, but the current leader...

Zhang Cheng's forehead was covered with sweat, and his calves began to tremble slightly. He quietly raised his head and met Liu Qi's stern eyes.

Zhang Cheng suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill in his heart.

Zhang Cheng lowered his head and took a deep breath, suppressed his chattering teeth, and then replied bravely: "I understand that from now on, all correspondence with the outside world will be given to your Majesty for your review."

He had no choice. From the moment Cangzhou received Liu Qi, his fate was bound to Liu Qi.

After He Yong, the former leader of the Seven Kills Order, defected, the wandering souls related to him were either silenced by himself or silenced by the Hell Gate.

The behavior of Hell Gate has always been like this. As long as something happens to one person, the entire line will be completely cleaned up.

Regardless of whether Zhang Cheng was loyal to the Black Prison Gate or not, from the moment Liu Qixin felt betrayed, his fate was no longer in his own hands.

Liu Qi was naturally very satisfied with Zhang Cheng's answer.

Her expression rarely softened a bit, then she stood up and walked to Zhang Cheng's side, reached out and patted his shoulder, and whispered: "You are still of use to me."

This simple sentence made Zhang Cheng feel relieved a little.

Fortunately, I am still useful and can live longer.

……

In the blink of an eye, the sky has turned dark, and the green fragrance will not come back tonight.

After dinner, Liu Qi used the fallen deadwood branches in the courtyard as a knife to stretch his muscles and bones. He used the six moves of the Crazy Sword that he had already mastered for a long time. There was a buzzing sound in the deadwood, and there were signs of breaking at any time.

"It is said that when swordsmanship is practiced to the extreme, any bird, wood, flower, or stone can be used as a sword." Liu Qi lowered her gaze to the dead branch in her hand, her expression suddenly condensed, and she swung the branch upwards,

Shit!

There was only a crisp sound like cracking silk, and an arc-shaped sword energy emerged from the dead branches and struck into the star-studded night sky.

Liu Qi watched the sword energy disappear under the starry sky, and then looked sideways at the dead branch in his hand, which was still intact!

"It's not difficult to use dead wood as a sword to release sword energy. You only need to control your own true energy to a certain level." Liu Qi thought to himself, "It's just that it's a bit far behind Jing Ji's sword energy."

It can only be said that the divine weapon is worthy of being a divine weapon.

On a whim, Liu Qi took out the Hengshan sword technique that had not been used for a long time and practiced it again, as well as the Fufeng sword technique, which he had already mastered...

With Liu Qi's current internal strength cultivation and understanding of sword techniques, even if she is holding a dead wood in her hand, the various sword techniques passed through her hands will be infinitely powerful.
