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

Chapter 139 You shouldn’t come back

Liu Qi shook his head slightly. Bai Ze still didn't know that Zen Master Jinlong's true identity was Lu Gong, the "Thousand Fantasy Craftsman".

She turned around silently and pushed the door open and entered the only room in the courtyard. The tables, chairs and benches in the room were all intact and there were no signs of a fight.

She walked to the bed and lowered her eyes to see a pair of boots neatly placed beside the bed.

The bedding on the bed was randomly placed, as well as the coat left by Shen Zhuang.

Bai Ze was right. Shen Zhuang should have been stopped by the master who suddenly broke in while he was sleeping, and then taken away directly.

Liu Qi heard a slight movement behind her and knew that it was Bai Ze entering the room, so she asked without looking back: "Do you know who the other two people are monitoring Shen Village?"

Bai Ze was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his eyes couldn't help but fall on Liu Qiying's waist. Then he said with complex eyes: "The people I sent live opposite Shenzhuang. Before today, I only knew the people on the left side of Shenzhuang. There is Fang Qingluan in the house."

No need to think about the other side, it should be Mrs. Mei’s person.

Mrs. Mei's purpose is the same as that of Bai Ze, they want to find out the whereabouts of Lu Gong through Shen Zhuang.

As for Fang Qingluan...of course he came for Liu Qi.

Liu Qi turned around and suddenly saw Bai Ze frowning at the door. He raised his eyes to look at her from time to time, his lips slightly opening and closing as if he was hesitant to speak.

She said softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Bai Ze's eyes suddenly condensed, and he looked at Liu Qi for a long time, and then finally said: "The Poison God...were you the one who killed him?"

Liu Qi nodded slightly.

Bai Ze opened his eyes slightly when he heard this, his eyes flickered, and then his chest rose and fell, as if he took a deep breath.

Bai Ze then asked, his voice sounding a little hoarse: "You have condensed your Qi into Gang and become one of the top masters, right?"

Liu Qi nodded again.

"hiss--"

This time, Liu Qi heard Bai Ze sucking in air.

"No wonder, no wonder..." Bai Ze couldn't help but murmured, his eyes flashing with horror.

"Don't blame me." Seeing Bai Ze's absent-minded look, Liu Qi couldn't help but frown and said, "Don't you smell the... smell of rotting corpses filling the air?"

Liu Qi's words brought Bai Ze back to his senses. The look of horror in his eyes instantly disappeared, and he regained his former aloofness, and then nodded.

"This smell...is definitely the corpse palm."

"Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Palace." Liu Qi silently recited this name he had not seen for a long time, then raised his eyes and asked, "Is it related to Zhou Xianzong?"

The person who first discovered Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Palace was beside Zhou Xianzong.

Bai Ze shook his head: "Since the last time, Zhou Xianzong has been living in seclusion, and he has not been found to be in contact with the outside world. It should not be him."

Last time...

The corners of Liu Qi's mouth twitched slightly.

The last time Bai Ze mentioned it was when he invited Liu Qi to kill the "Bronze Corpse" elder of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Palace lurking in the middle of the capital, but he ended up bumping into the Poison God again...

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi had just killed the Poison God, and people from Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Palace would appear again by such a coincidence.

If you say there is no relationship between the two, the dog won’t believe it!

"General Bai Ze." Liu Qi asked in a deep voice, "Who in the capital is so capable that he can serve the Poison God and Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Palace at the same time?"

Bai Ze was silent when he heard this.

There are indeed many famous people in the capital, but there are only a few people from the Poison God and the Blood Sea Palace in Corpse Mountain who can be invited.

The first name that came to Liu Qi's mind was Fu Qingshu, the chief assistant of the dynasty.

Regardless of whether it was him or not, Liu Qi didn't want to pay attention to matters above the court.

As for Shen Zhuang, Liu Qi is of course happy to see him survive. After all, the cooperation between the two is quite pleasant.

Of course...it's just a cooperative relationship.

Liu Qi's own affairs are already troublesome enough.

Liu Qi made up her mind and left.

She and Bai Ze passed each other at the entrance of the house. As soon as they reached the courtyard, Bai Ze called out: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Qi looked back at Bai Ze coldly, waiting to see what he was going to say.

As if he felt the coldness in Liu Qi's eyes, Bai Ze felt a chill in his heart. He quietly moved back half a step, and then said in a deep voice: "The people in Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Palace have no humanity at all. Although they captured Shen Zhuang, You have a plot, but you will definitely kill someone and silence him afterwards. I know that you have a relationship with Shen Zhuang, are you just going to sit back and watch him be harmed?"

Hearing this, Liu Qi turned around and replied seriously: "If you tell me now that Shen Zhuang is being imprisoned somewhere, of course I will go there and rescue him with one knife."

"But the problem is... the capital is so big, and there is no big figure standing behind the people in Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Palace. If they want to hide someone, I have to find him in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon in the Horse."

"So General Bai Ze, if you are really worried about Mr. Shen's safety, you might as well find out who is behind this."

……

To the east of the city, there is Xianju Tower.

A staggering old man raised his eyes and glanced at the brightly decorated second floor, took a deep breath of the smell of meat, and then silently took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand.

Before he could swallow it, he shook his head and sighed: "The wine and meat of the Zhumen stink, and the bones are frozen to death on the road!"

"Grandpa, are you talking about us?" I saw a small head suddenly poked out from behind the old man, holding half a piece of steamed bun in his mouth. He took a deep breath with the same dirty black nose, and then sighed: "It smells so good. ah!"

"Of course it smells good!" The old man raised his eyes to the second floor again and made a "chirp" sound in his mouth. "Today is the time when the chief executive of the Six Doors is entertaining guests. The master chef of Xianju Tower can personally hold the spoon. He can Doesn’t it smell good?”

"Oh, if I could just go up and have a bite, I, Old Song, would die without any regrets!"

"Bah bah bah..."

"Grandpa, stop saying such things, and be careful to make the Lord of Hell listen."

"Huh, so what if you heard it. Your grandfather and I have been eating and chanting in front of the Buddha for several years. Even the Lord of Hell has to give me some thin noodles when he sees me!"

"Shh-" I saw a thin figure turn over and stand up from behind the old man, then put his index finger to his mouth, puffed out his face and blew hard.

"Stop talking, or you'll reveal your secret!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old man looked around and found no one, and then nodded repeatedly, "I am Old Man Song, and you are Song Gou'er. We have never met any of the Buddhas and Lords of Hell!"

"Hehehe... I've never seen it before!"

"Alas!" The thin figure sighed softly, then hugged his knees and squatted down with his back to the old man, looking at the sky shrouded in night fog with his bright eyes.

"I wonder how grandpa is doing now."

"Will the beautiful big sister with the knife come to save Ying'er?"

……

After leaving Shen Zhuang's residence, Liu Qi went straight back to Liu Mansion.

Chun Yan and Zhang Cheng were both waiting in the courtyard. When Liu Qi emerged from the night fog, they both trembled and then quickly stepped forward to salute.

"What's the matter?" Liu Qi asked when he saw Zhang Cheng Yehou here.

Zhang Cheng quickly replied: "Following your order, my subordinates sent people to follow the craftsman leader surnamed Sun who came to visit the house today. As a result, the person sent out... disappeared!"

……

Zhang Cheng walked out of the side door of Liu Mansion, looked at the dark alley in front of him, shrank back, and then stepped in.

After taking a few steps, Zhang Cheng suddenly paused, and then his body began to tremble slightly.

I saw a figure suddenly appeared in front of me, walking slowly towards Zhang Cheng, and a disgusting stench instantly filled the air.

"Hehehe..." The visitor let out a deep, sinister smile and stopped ten steps away from Zhang Cheng. "You... you... who are you?" Zhang Cheng's legs were trembling, and he hesitated unconsciously when he spoke.

"Of course...the person who wants your life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure straightened up and raised his palm to attack Zhang Cheng. The stench of corruption in the air became stronger and stronger.

Seeing that this palm was about to be imprinted on Zhang Cheng's body, a cruel smile suddenly appeared in the visitor's eyes.

Whoosh!

The visitor's expression froze instantly.

At some point, another person appeared in front of Zhang Cheng, and his slender arm blocked the person's hand.

Smelling that familiar smell, Liu Qi's face darkened slightly, and then she shook her arm slightly, and there was a "click" in her ears, and a figure flew away.

Gudong!

The figure rolled around after landing, quickly stood up, looked back at Liu Qi, and then hurriedly disappeared into the night fog while holding his right arm.

"You have nothing to do next, go back and have a good rest." After Liu Qi turned his back to Zhang Cheng and said a word, his figure flashed and disappeared from the place like a ghost.

Zhang Cheng looked at the place where Liu Qi disappeared and couldn't help but curl up, feeling the chill that penetrated his bones.

……

Liu Qihuan clasped his hands and stood on the eaves, looking at the staggering figure in the distance.

She also didn't expect that simply luring the snake out of its hole would actually succeed.

Needless to say, the man sent by Zhang Cheng disappeared, and it goes without saying that the leader of the craftsmen named Sun must have discovered it. The wandering spirit is not a sword slave, and he will definitely spit out Zhang Cheng if he cannot bear the torture.

Liu Qi wondered whether the other party would send someone to eradicate the problem.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi was really fooled.

Perhaps the other party would not have thought that there would be a master like Liu Qi in the Liu Mansion.

Seeing that the man's figure was about to disappear from sight, Liu Qi's figure flashed and instantly appeared on the eaves of a house ahead.

Liu Qi also noticed that the route chosen by this person was very clever, avoiding the patrolling officers and soldiers as well as several recently temporarily added passes guarded by six gates and city defense battalions.

Not only is he very familiar with the route to Beijing, but he also has a perfect grasp of the garrison positions and patrol times of officers and soldiers.

And... Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Looking at the route the man was traveling, he actually circled back.

Did you find someone following you?

Liu Qi shook his head and instantly rejected this guess.

The other party's martial arts cultivation level was below the first level. If he could discover this, Liu Qi might as well kill him with one knife.

That leaves only one possibility: the other party is deliberately circling, and he is testing whether there is a tail following behind him.

Sure enough, after the other party made three or four detours, they finally changed their route.

Liu Qi followed closely behind.

The two of them walked in tandem and finally arrived at a house near the outer wall of the capital.

The other party climbed over the courtyard wall and entered the house.

Liu Qi came to where the other party was standing just now. After stopping to listen to the movement inside the wall, he also jumped over.

After landing, he saw candlelight suddenly lighting up in the room not far away.

"What's going on!" A familiar voice came from the room. It was Sun Youde, the leader of the craftsmen who visited Liu Mansion during the day.

"I made a mistake. Butler Zhang of the Liu Mansion has a master behind him." It was the man who had just assassinated Zhang Cheng.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly gasped in pain.

"hiss--"

"Your hand..." Sun Youde's voice sounded anxious at first, and then suddenly became solemn, "Did the master behind Butler Zhang do it?"

"Stop talking nonsense and call someone to help me heal my wounds!" The voice of the speaker gradually became impatient.

"It's no longer curable!" Sun Youde sighed quietly, "All the bones in your arm have been shattered. It's useless to invite anyone!"

"what!"

"The master behind Butler Zhang is probably more powerful than you think." Sun Youde paused, then said in a deep voice: "Why are you coming back?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean...you shouldn't come back!"

"He's right, you really shouldn't come back!" A pleasant voice suddenly sounded.

"who!"

Sun Youde's eyes narrowed, and he immediately looked sideways at the long sword on the table. He was about to reach out to pick it up, when suddenly a voice came to his ears again:

"If you make one more move, I guarantee you will never be able to use a sword in your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Youde's eyes suddenly shrank.

I saw a beautiful figure suddenly appearing next to the empty table just now. A flawless white jade arm poked out from the sleeves, and green-green fingers pressed on the long sword placed on the table.

"It's you!"

Liu Qi pulled out her sword with a "cang clang" sound and looked around, only to see an ugly-looking man holding his right arm and looking at her with hateful eyes.

when--

Liu Qi flicked the sword lightly, and immediately the room was filled with a mind-shaking clang.

"What a sword!" Liu Qi praised.

Zheng!

Liu Qi suddenly raised his hand, his sword pointed at the two of them instantly, and his eyes became cold.

"From now on I will ask you questions and answer them, if you dare to hesitate for a moment!"

Swish!

A ray of blue light flashed in front of his eyes, and Sun Youde's eyes widened. He immediately looked sideways and saw his companion with a confused look on his face and a severed arm in his hand...

Liu Qi said with a heavy look: "It's useless anyway, just break it."

I saw the man come back to his senses, first let go of his hand, and his severed arm fell to the ground with a "thud".

thump!

The man fell to the ground and fainted.

Liu Qi frowned.

So useless?

"call--"

Sun Youde looked at the blood dripping from the broken shoulder of his companion, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then turned his head.

"Dare you ask me about your late night visit, girl..."

Swish!

The sword light grazed the left side of his face.

Sun Youde froze in place until a sharp pain like acupuncture came on his face, and then he felt a stream of heat sliding down his cheek...

Tick, tick!

Blood dropped to the ground.

Sun Youde raised his eyes and saw the tip of the sword facing him, and then slowly moved his eyes to meet Liu Qi's cold and piercing eyes.

"I ask, you answer."

"Do you understand now?"

　Come as scheduled
