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

Chapter 135 Attack on the outskirts of Beijing

"Mr. Shen, Fang Nuxia has been very kind to you." Liu Qi said in a faint tone.

If it hadn't been for Fang Qingluan's constant contact, Shen Zhuang would not have been able to join forces with Cao Cheng and Liu Qi to take down the thousand-year-old jade ginseng, thereby eradicating the root cause of Shen Ying's disease.

The meaning behind Liu Qi's words is obvious. Could it be that you, Shen Zhuang, are out of repayment and teamed up with Fang Qingluan to deceive me?

"Haha..." Shen Zhuang smiled bitterly, "I have been wandering in this world for half my life. I have seen all kinds of people, but I have never seen one kind of person."

"That's someone who gives to others without expecting anything in return!"

Shen Zhuang's words fell to the ground, and Liu Qi couldn't help but stare at him.

"Nvxia Fang, President Cao, and even you, the girl...haven't they all taken a fancy to my skill in concocting elixirs?"

Shen Zhuang's tone showed a sense of joy, as if he had shaken off the burden he had carried for many years.

"I have also figured it out. If from the beginning it is like now, if we don't stick to family rules and ancestral precepts, and don't care about the opinions of our martial arts colleagues, with these hands that have been immersed in alchemy for decades, we may not be able to save Ying'er from her illness as soon as possible. come out!"

"It's not too late for the old man to have figured it out now." Liu Qi replied in a deep voice, "Miss Ying'er still has several decades to live, and your hands are still very useful."

"Hahaha... You are right!" Shen Zhuang laughed heartily, "Even for Ying'er's future, I have to work hard again."

"Why should you care too much in life?" Shen Zhuang suppressed his laughter and said in a slightly lower voice, "A hundred years from now, as long as I can live up to my good husband and wife, I will die without regrets."

Liu Qi couldn't help but ask: "Miss Ying'er and Lu Gong are still together?"

Shen Zhuang nodded and said helplessly: "To be honest, my old friend is very good at disguise. Ying'er may be safer with him now than with me."

Liu Qi's brows instantly wrinkled.

Liu Qi had already made it clear to Shen Zhuang who Lu Gong was provoking.

But now he would actually say such a thing.

Could it be that Shen Zhuang has recently provoked someone more terrifying than the Hell Gate and His Majesty?

For some reason, in the dark room, Liu Qi could feel a hint of death from the old man sitting on the bed.

After a moment of silence, Shen Zhuang said: "Fang Qingluan has learned from the Shen family that these batches of Solid Yuan Dan will be transported to the capital, but she seems to have guessed that I will not disclose this batch of Solid Yuan Pills to her. What is the purpose of Yuan Dan, so I never mentioned this matter to me."

"Fortunately, the Shen family also has my internal support..." Shen Zhuang shook his head in embarrassment.

Then he continued: "After the spirit pill arrives in Beijing, Fang Qingluan will definitely monitor me strictly. If you show up, I'm afraid..."

Liu Qi shook his head: "There is no need for Mr. Shen to worry about this matter. You only need to tell me where the Guyuan Dan will be handed over after it arrives in the capital."

"The Shen family has invited the Changfeng Escort Bureau to escort them. After arriving in Beijing, they will go directly to Datong Bank to hand over." Shen Zhuang was silent for a while and then said solemnly, "The person responsible for escorting this escort is the head of the Changfeng Escort Bureau, Xu Yongyuan."

"By the way, this person also has another identity. He is the uncle of Xu Fangfei, the wife of Prince Anlehou."

……

Changfeng Escort Bureau is the largest escort agency in the world.

The head of the bodyguard, He Wentian, was originally a Shaolin monk. After breaking the military order, he returned to secular life and took over the family's bodyguard business. With his pair of meaty palms, he defeated invincible opponents in thirteen provinces in the north and south, and was nicknamed "Iron-Armed Arhat" by people in the world.

About ten years ago, Changfeng Escort Bureau annexed the other three of the four major escort bureaus in the world, and has since then exclusively occupied the throne of the best escort bureau in the world.

Chief escort chief He Wentian was therefore listed as one of the "Seven Stars".

Today, the Changfeng Escort Bureau has branches in twelve major cities across the country, and is headed by twelve powerful deputy chief escorts.

There is no capital among these twelve cities.

Liu Qi would not wait until Guyuan Dan was delivered to Datong Bank to pick it up.

With Fang Qingluan's intelligence, she might have guessed that these Guyuan Pills were prepared for Liu Qi, and maybe she had already set up a dragnet at Datong Bank waiting for her to jump into.

So before Liu Qi left, he asked Shen Zhuang for a token that could prove his identity and the Changfeng Escort's route to Beijing.

Since the elixir won't be delivered to you on its own initiative, you might as well go out and pick it up yourself.

……

The next day.

Liu Qi, who was meditating in the room, twitched her ears and immediately stopped her meditation.

After a while, Chunyan's voice came from outside the door.

"Miss, Chunyan has something to report."

"come in."

When Liu Qi saw Chunyan pushing the door open, she immediately bowed and said: "Miss, Cuixiang's cousin came to visit Madam today. I heard from the nun beside Madam that he seemed to have prepared money to redeem Cuixiang's family. .”

"It came pretty fast."

A rare softness flashed through Liu Qi's eyes, and she asked softly: "Where's Cuixiang? Today can be considered a great day for her."

Chunyan: "Cuixiang should prepare lunch for you in the kitchen."

Liu Qi looked out the window and saw that it was already noon.

Liu Qi originally wanted to wait until Cuixiang came back before telling her the good news. Unexpectedly, Zhou sent someone to call Cuixiang directly, and also sent a nanny over to ask Liu Qi to go to the front lobby.

Liu Qi brought Chunyan to the lobby.

As soon as he entered, he saw Cuixiang standing in the lobby with a bow, and Mr. Zhou sitting in the chief seat.

Liu Qi raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the chairs on both sides of Zhou, and saw a face she hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhou Xianzong!

Liu Qi couldn't help but frown slightly.

Zhou Xianzong sat on the first chair in the row below Zhou's left hand. He kept staring in the direction of the lobby door until Liu Qi walked in, his eyes suddenly shone with light, and then he stood up and took the initiative to greet Liu Qi.

I saw that he was limping, obviously the injury from the last time had not healed yet.

Zhou Xianzong walked up to Liu Qi with some difficulty, looking at Keren'er who was thinking about him day and night, Zhou Xianzong's eyes couldn't help but be a little crazy.

"Long time no see, cousin. How are you these days?"

I'm afraid it's not good to see you today!

Liu Qi felt numb all over. She would rather go head-to-head with Luo Yuyan than face Zhou Xianzong.

"This... must be Miss Liu, right?" At this moment, an energetic voice saved Liu Qi from her numbness.

She looked sideways and saw a young man in a blue shirt sitting in the right row of seats holding a sword and saluting her, his eyes flashing with amazement.

"Ahem..." Zhou's cough also sounded at the right time.

Zhou glanced at Zhou Xianzong displeasedly, and then introduced: "Qiniang, Mr. Jiang here is Cuixiang's cousin. He came today to redeem Cuixiang's family from the house."

It turns out that he is Jiang Quan.

Liu Qi's eyes flashed. After hearing what Zhou said, she simply turned around and gently raised her head to take a look at the blue-shirted young man.

"what?"

A soft sound came from the side of the blue-shirted young man.

Liu Qi moved her eyes and saw a young man in white shirt sitting on the front seat of the right row, staring at him with a puzzled expression.

This young man in white shirt looks familiar.

Liu Qi quietly lowered his head and slowly frowned.

"I forgot to introduce you." Zhou's voice came, "This prince is Mr. Jiang's senior brother."

As soon as he finished speaking, the prince in white shirt stood up and bowed respectfully to Liu Qi with his sword in both hands: "Wang Youshan has met Miss Liu."

Liu Qi bowed and returned the greetings one by one: "Young Master Wang, Mr. Jiang." "Miss..." Liu Qi heard a voice as thin as a mosquito's moan. She turned around and saw Cuixiang with a worried look on her face. Looking at himself.

Liu Qi immediately looked away, thinking to herself, is this silly girl still reluctant to leave Liu Mansion?

Liu Qi had already met Cuixiang's cousin just now. Judging from his appearance, he should be a tolerant person, and there is no stern look between his eyebrows that is common among people in the martial arts world. It can be seen that he is still a young boy who has not experienced anything.

Liu Qi may be a few years younger than him, and he already has so many lives on his hands that the other party's ancestral grave may not even be able to bury them.

At the same time, when the brothers Jiang Quan and Wang Youshan sat down, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

Jiang Quan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the young lady his cousin said he was reluctant to leave was actually a peerless beauty.

Wang Youshan, who was sitting next to him, still looked up at Liu Qi from time to time after sitting down. His eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.

"Junior Brother Jiang, this girl... I seem to have seen her before."

Jiang Quan's arm was pulled twice. He looked sideways and saw Wang Youshan speaking to him seriously.

He couldn't help but curl his lips.

I have probably seen such a beauty in my dreams!

……

"Cousin, these two young masters are both disciples of Master Liuyun of the Qixia sect. They came today to redeem Cuixiang's family from leaving the house." Zhou Xianzong said softly, looking at Liu Qi who was sitting next to him.

and many more!

Aren’t all the sales contracts of Cuixiang’s family in Zhou’s hands?

After collecting the money, she just returned the deed of sale to Cuixiang. Why did she invite herself?

Just when Liu Qi was puzzled, Cuixiang's cousin, Mr. Jiang, who was wearing a blue shirt, stood up again and said loudly: "Miss Liu, thank you for your kindness to Cuixiang. If there is any errand in the future, I, Jiang Quan, will definitely go through fire and water." No excuses."

After making an impassioned speech to Liu Qi, Mr. Jiang just turned to look at Cuixiang and said softly: "Cousin, Miss Liu is already here. You can say anything now."

It turned out that when Mrs. Zhou called Cuixiang and asked her if she was willing to leave the mansion, Cuixiang was hesitant and unable to answer. It was not until Jiang Quan repeatedly persuaded Cuixiang that Cuixiang agreed to leave the mansion with him, but she just hoped to see her one last time. Meet Liu Qi.

Now that Liu Qi is here, Cuixiang starts to hesitate again.

She turned around and faced Liu Qi with her head lowered, while her hands kept flipping the corners of her clothes.

When Liu Qi saw this, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Cuixiang and called softly: "Cuixiang."

"Miss!" Cuixiang suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.

When the two people's eyes met, Cuixiang's eyes turned red for a moment, and then she sniffed hard, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and then she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Qi three times "bang, bang, bang."

The movement was so fast that Jiang, who was standing behind her, didn't even react. When she was about to reach out, Cuixiang had already kowtowed and was about to stand up.

Jiang Quan could only retract his hand in embarrassment, and then sighed secretly.

"Miss is a good person. Cuixiang has nothing to repay. I can only kowtow to you three times. I hope you will be safe and prosperous in the future and live a long life!" Cuixiang wiped away the tears that fell, and then said with a tearful voice.

Liu Qi suddenly lowered his head and softly said the word "Okay".

……

Liu Qi looked at the fading daylight outside the window, thinking that Cuixiang should have moved out of Liu Mansion by now.

In order to show everyone's magnanimity and show goodwill to Jiang Quan, who backed the Qixia sect, Zhou not only spared Cuixiang's family the redemption money, but also gave an additional twenty taels of silver.

Liu Qi originally wanted to give Cuixiang some money, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Her path was too bloody, and she only hoped that Cuixiang would not have anything to do with her for the rest of her life.

Good people...

Recalling Cuixiang's last words, this was the first time Liu Qi heard such a comment.

but……

Only when a person lives first can he have the opportunity to choose to be a good person.

Liu Qi stood up suddenly, with two knives hanging on her waist, and resolutely walked out of the house.

……

Changfeng Escort Bureau will arrive at the outskirts of Beijing in the evening and then enter the city overnight.

Liu Qi decided to get Guyuan Dan in the suburbs of Beijing.

Liu Qi easily climbed over the several-foot-high outer wall of the capital city and reached the predetermined location before sunset.

By coincidence, it was the town where Liu Qi was assassinated when he first came to Beijing.

The inn at the entrance of the town is gone.

Liu Qi walked through the town entrance and came to a dense forest beside the official road, leaning against a tree trunk and waiting peacefully.

After a while, the sound of rapid horse hooves sounded in my ears.

Liu Qi walked out from behind the tree where one person was hugging each other and saw three big horses galloping towards the official road.

Liu Qi was about to step out when suddenly her eyes moved and she stopped immediately. On the other side of the official road, she saw a black shadow floating like a ghost.

In just two breaths, the black shadow collided head-on with the three knights.

"Who is it!" The leading knight shouted angrily, and then he rose into the air from his horse and faced the black shadow with both palms screaming!

The black shadow did not dodge or evade, and swung out a single palm, blood flickering between the palms.

Double palm versus single palm.

"Oh!"

After a muffled sound, Liu Qi saw a group of black mist spray out from behind the knight, and then his body softened and fell vertically from the air, hitting the road of the other two knights.

"Chichi-"

The two big horses suddenly neighed in fear.

The knight on the horse could only hold the reins tightly and comfort the two frightened horses.

"My lord, Xu Yongyuan, the head of the Changfeng Escort Bureau, may I ask you why you blocked my way?"

"What's the matter?" The black shadow floated to the ground and said ferociously, "I'm already like this, why do you ask me?"

Xu Yongyuan's face instantly darkened when he heard this, and his hands unconsciously touched the dart in his arms.

The black shadow slowly walked forward towards the two of them, and said in a sinister tone: "Hand over your things obediently, and I can keep one of your corpses intact."

"Boss Xu, what should we do!" Another bodyguard tried his best to comfort the horse that was sitting down. Seeing the black shadow gradually approaching, he couldn't help but panicked.

Xu Yongyuan glanced at the body of the other bodyguard on the ground and couldn't help but take a breath.

Let's go... we definitely can't leave.

Then we can only fight hard!

A look of determination flashed in Xu Yongyuan's eyes. He thought that this escort trip would be easy and simple, but he didn't expect that it would become a reminder for him.

He took a deep breath, and then his energy sank into his dantian. He stared at the black shadow, ready to take action at any time.

suddenly!

The figure of the black shadow stopped abruptly.

"Who, get out!"

"Hehehe..." Liu Qi sneered and stood up. The Jingji knife in his hand was already unsheathed, and the blade was shining with purple light.

"Old man, you made it easier for me to find him after we said goodbye last time!"
