Chapter 146 Xianju Tower

When Liu Qi returned to the small courtyard, the sky had darkened.

She called Chunyan over: "Go and keep an eye on what's going on in the backyard. If anything happens, come back and report it in time."

"Yes."

After Chun Yan left, Liu Qi walked slowly to the counter where the guqin was placed and stood there for a long time.

Today is a direct showdown with Zhou.

Now that he was planning to leave, there was no need to continue playing house with Zhou.

According to Liu Qi's original plan, she planned to wait for an opportunity to leave while Liu Zongxun was sending her and Liu Xiangxiang away from Beijing.

But judging from what happened today, she and Liu Xiangxiang will probably not be able to leave.

Liu Qi took out the Jingji Knife from the piano body, and then his hands shook slightly, and a jade light from the sleeve instantly slipped into his hand.

The Huaqing Sect and Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Palace were both destroyed at the hands of the general.

It was made by Xiu Niang and Cuixiang in the mansion after spending several nights.

One thing Liu Qi was sure of was that it was definitely not Zhou Mi who took Liu Xiangxiang into the palace.

When he was at Baixi Villa, Zhou Xianzong ordered Grandma Guoliang to poison the kitchen.

That's enough.

Moreover, the Mr. Mu who was beside Zhou Xianzong at that time was Mu Qingfeng, a remnant of the Huaqing sect, who later attempted to assassinate Zhou Mi in the forbidden area of ​​Baixi Villa.

Now four years have passed, under the drastic measures of Fu Qingshu, the chief assistant promoted by Emperor Taikang, the entire court has almost got rid of the influence of the general.

Of course, he still had the remaining banknotes in his arms.

There are knives, money, and clothes.

Nowadays, if there is anything about General Zhou Weiyang that can threaten the current emperor, it is only his shocking martial arts.

Just as Liu Qi closed the cupboard door, her eyes caught a glimpse of the Xiang Fei-colored dress.

That's when things get interesting.

When the power of General Zhou Weiyang was at its peak, there were unprecedented feats such as riding horses across the rivers and lakes, and there were countless people inside to persuade him to come in. Even the ordinary people in the capital had prepared fireworks and were ready to welcome the new dynasty.

And Zhou Xianzong was the nephew of the general.

Her eyes suddenly flashed, and a voice appeared in her mind.

She always carries the Jade Sword hidden in her sleeve.

Could it be Emperor Taikang?

They were obviously enemies, but people from the Huaqing Sect and the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Palace worked for Zhou Xianzong one after another.

"Sister, you still look best in this dress!"

If he promised Zhou Xianzong, it would be Emperor Taikang himself who would include Liu Xiangxiang in the harem.

Can he, Zhou Xianzong, have the ability to make his enemies who bear the blood feud of his master's sect work for him?

It doesn't even require a top expert, as long as a top expert can do whatever it takes, the success rate will not be too low.

For some reason, the way Liu Xiangxiang usually held her arm and acted coquettishly swayed in Liu Qi's mind like a revolving lantern.

That's why Liu Qi guessed that Emperor Taikang was the person behind the scenes who wanted to cut off Liu Zongxun's retreat.

Even so, General Zhou Weiyang still did not choose to change dynasties.

Behind Zhou Xianzong, there was another person controlling everything, and this person was clearly targeting the general.

Liu Qi's eyes showed disdain. She recalled that Zhou Xianzong looked frightened after the death of the old man from Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Palace who was working for Zhou Xianzong at that time. She knew that he was not the one who recruited the remnants of these two factions.

I still remember that when she first put on this dress, Liu Xiangxiang was the most excited one, surrounding Liu Qi and exclaiming that it looked good.

A medium-sized package and two knives hanging from his waist were all Liu Qi's belongings.

Liu Xiangxiang was picked up by people from the palace when Mrs. Anlehou and Xu Fangfei came to the door, which meant that she entered the palace before noon, and it was almost Xu hour.

In front of Liu Qi's eyes, Zhou Mi's face was as tender and tender as if he was twenty-eight years old. Anyone who looked at it would know something was wrong, let alone a relative like Liu Xiangxiang who had known him for a long time.

After Mu Qingfeng's death, a mysterious old man suddenly appeared next to Zhou Xianzong. After Liu Qi silenced the old man, Bai Ze's investigation revealed that this old man was actually a remnant of the Blood Sea Palace in Corpse Mountain.

Without hesitation, Liu Qifen glanced at the Xiang Fei-colored dress, took out several other sleeveless shirts, folded them and put them into the package.

Being able to kill the emperor does not mean that you can sit on the throne.

In the eighteenth year of Taikang, Queen Mother Zhou Mi returned to the emperor, and General Zhou Weiyang subsequently handed over military power.

Her eyes darkened slightly, but she still closed the cabinet door.

Nowadays, the people who still remember the general are the people in the world.

Hanging the two knives on her waist, Liu Qi began to pack her luggage. After opening the wardrobe, she caught a glimpse of the newly made Xiang Fei-colored dress.

But if we talk about martial arts alone, there are many people in the world who can threaten the emperor's life.

Liu Qi had already packed it up without using a cup of tea.

Liu Qi came to the window sill, put the package on the table, stared out the window, and fell into deep thought.

How could such a person have thoughts about the Dragon Throne after he surrendered his military power and lived in seclusion for many years, losing his influence in the court.

Liu Qi could understand this, but Liu Qi was not sure whether Emperor Taikang could understand it.

The chair placed in the palace seemed to possess some kind of magic power.

Throughout the history books, no matter how wise and powerful the emperor was, if he sat still for long enough, he would definitely become ignorant and ignorant.

Although Emperor Taikang was still young, he had been sitting on the dragon throne for twenty-two years.

……

Liu Qiduan was sitting behind the window sill, waiting for Chunyan to come back and report the situation. Suddenly, there was an extremely weak sound outside.

Whoosh!

Liu Qi looked sideways and saw that the night fog gradually gathered by the window sill, and in an instant it turned into a slender figure.

After Bai Ze appeared, he took two steps forward and came to the window sill. He was about to speak, but in a blink of an eye he saw the package on the table. His eyes immediately darkened and he glanced at the two daggers hanging on Liu Qi's waist.

"Are you going on a long trip?" Bai Ze asked coldly.

Liu Qi looked at him, her thin lips parted slightly: "What are you doing here?"

Bai Ze still had a stern look on his face and threw something towards Liu Qi.

Liu Qi reached out and caught the object thrown by Bai Ze. After a closer look, she saw that it was a box the size of a palm.

When Liu Qi reached out to open the box, Bai Ze's cold voice came to her ears instantly: "You don't need to look, there is a 300-year-old dragon's blood grass inside, which is your reward for last night!"

When Liu Qi heard this, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she immediately closed the box and stuffed it into her sleeve.

Looking at the sudden smile on Liu Qi's face, Bai Ze opened his eyes slightly, his eyes stagnant, but he quickly came back to his senses and quickly looked away slightly.

Liu Qi noticed Bai Ze's absence, and immediately narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "Yesterday, the young master who used the Blood Demon's Ten Thousand Transformations Technique is on par with the Poison God in terms of strength."

After the bloody battle with the Poison God, Liu Qi snatched a Golden Crow Fruit from Bai Ze's hand.

Although the three-hundred-year-old dragon blood grass is relatively rare nowadays, it is very different from the golden crow fruit.

How could Bai Ze not hear the greed in Liu Qi's tone? He turned his head and looked at Liu Qi coldly, stretched out his palm: "If you don't want it, give it back to me!"

Ha ha!

Liu Qi quickly turned her head, pretending not to see Bai Ze's outstretched hand.

Whenever good things come into Liu Qi's hands, there is absolutely no reason to give them back.

That's it!

Dragon's blood grass is dragon's blood grass, it's better than nothing. Bai Ze snorted coldly when he saw this.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Qi's profile, and suddenly there was a flash in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said: "If you are free tomorrow, you might as well go to Xianju Tower. The head of the six gates, Lin Shengchuan, wants to see you."

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and his eyes were as sharp as sharp knives. He instantly fell on Bai Ze: "'Lin Shengchuan, have you told him about me?"

When Bai Ze saw the cold aura bursting out from Liu Qi's body, his expression suddenly became solemn, he quietly took two steps back, and replied in a solemn voice: "I just told him that the person in the underground palace who used the Blood Demon Ten Thousand Transformation Technique died because of you. Under the knife, other than that, he has not revealed any information about you."

Hearing this, the sharp look in Liu Qi's eyes immediately faded a bit.

She asked: "Did you call the people from Six Doors?"

Bai Ze felt the chill in the air melt away instantly, so he nodded and said, "The Blood Demon's Ten Thousand Transformation Skills have reappeared in the world, along with the remnants of Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea Palace."

Bai Ze paused and then said: "The matter is so important that it is beyond my control."

So after Liu Qi left yesterday, Bai Ze notified the people from Liumen to come over and deal with the aftermath.

"Lin Shengchuan came over personally, examined the man's body, and found out that he was not killed by me."

"I originally planned to blame this matter on Ying Long, but I didn't expect that Lin Shengchuan guessed that it was you by checking the injuries in the man's body."

"But he didn't ask me where you were going. He just made an appointment with me in a deserted place and expressed the hope of meeting you."

Liu Qi was not surprised that Lin Shengchuan guessed that he had killed the man through the autopsy.

The man died under Liu Qi's sword. Just cut the body open and you will see that there is no trace of scars on the outside, but the internal organs and tendons were severed by the sword. There are not many such craftsmanship in Beijing. See.

Fang Qingluan and others who had fought against Liu Qi were still in the capital. It was impossible that they and Liumen did not exchange information, so it was not surprising that Lin Shengchuan knew Liu Qi's martial arts skills.

Liu Qi recalled meeting Lin Shengchuan when they were in Cangzhou. Unexpectedly, they would meet again in the capital after a few months.

I just don’t know if it’s an enemy or a friend.

Liu Qisu gently stroked the blade of the sword at her waist, and then said, "What else did he say?"

Bai Ze: "Lin Shengchuan has long expected that you will not easily agree to see him, so let me give you a message."

"Say!" Liu Qi said one word from his mouth.

"He asked me to ask you...if you are from Xiliu Villa in Donghe County." After saying this, Bai Ze immediately stared at Liu Qi, trying to see the change in expression on her face.

But the result still disappointed Bai Ze.

From beginning to end, Liu Qi's eyes were like a bright mirror, calm without any ripples.

Just when a trace of doubt appeared in Bai Ze's eyes, he suddenly heard Liu Qiqing's melodious voice: "General Bai Ze, please tell Mr. Lin to arrest the head. I'll see you at Xianju Tower at noon tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Bai Ze's eyes trembled, and he immediately agreed.

Then he stared at Liu Qi and asked seriously: "Are you really from Xiliu Villa?"

After Bai Ze went back, he checked this so-called Xiliu Villa.

However, in the archives of the General's Mansion, there are only eight words about Xiliu Villa.

Xiliu Villa, the sword skills are brisk.

That’s it!

Bai Ze also managed to find a way to see the files of the Ministry of Justice. Although the relevant records were more detailed than those of the General's Mansion, in summary there was no difference.

There's just one more.

Twenty years ago, Xiliu Villa was destroyed by the government for disobeying the military order.

So...she's here for revenge?

Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Bai Ze could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

"If you are worried about Lin Shengchuan setting up an ambush in Xianju Tower, I can provide you with a hiding place."

"No need." Liu Qi interrupted Bai Ze with a calm face.

Since Lin Shengchuan mentioned Xiliu Villa, she had to go.

If Lin Shengchuan also had his hands on the Yimu Divine Art...

Then don't blame her for being ruthless.

……

Bai Ze suddenly frowned slightly and looked back in the direction of the courtyard door.

"somebody is coming."

Liu Qi nodded slightly. She had long heard the footsteps coming from outside the hospital.

"General Bai Ze, please stay away for a while."

Through the sound of footsteps, Liu Qi knew that Chunyan was not the only one who came back, so she said to Bai Ze.

Bai Ze remained silent and just took two steps back. His figure suddenly blurred and then disappeared into the night mist.

And the person who came back with Chunyan was none other than Liu Xiangxiang's mother, Zhou.

"You wait here first."

"But madam..."

"I just told you to wait, didn't you even listen to my wife?"

"Yes--"

Mrs. Zhou only brought one nanny with her. When she entered the small courtyard, she left her outside the courtyard gate.

Then Zhou and Chunyan entered the courtyard together.

When she stepped into the main room, she saw Liu Qi sitting at the table, looking at her calmly.

Zhou's heart skipped a beat and she froze on the spot. The words she had prepared on the way turned into a mess the moment she saw Liu Qi.

But when she thought of her daughter Liu Xiangxiang, Mrs. Zhou quickly calmed down and walked to the table. She mustered up the courage to stare into Liu Qi's eyes and asked, "Who are you and why are you pretending to be Liu Qiniang? "

"Mrs. Liu, now is not the time to worry about my whereabouts." Liu Qi stood up calmly and said unhurriedly.

"You came to see me in such a hurry. You must have found out whether the person who picked up Xiangxiang today is the Queen Mother's person?"

When his eyes touched the two daggers on Liu Qi's waist, Zhou's pupils trembled suddenly.

"You are right..." Mrs. Zhou's tone was trembling, "I have already sent someone to inquire. The father-in-law who took Xiangxiang was indeed serving in the Queen Mother's Palace before, but now he has been transferred to Germany. In the imperial concubine’s palace.”

"Where's Mr. Liu? Haven't you told him about this yet?" Liu Qi asked with a frown.

Zhou shook her head repeatedly, then looked confused: "Butler Zhang has already gone to the General's Mansion, but Master...has also entered the palace!"

Whoosh!

There was a sudden gust of wind in the house.

Bai Ze, who had just disappeared, appeared in the room, looking at Zhou with a solemn expression: "Mrs. Liu, the Queen Mother is not in the palace today."

Bai Ze heard the conversation between Zhou and Liu Qi on the roof, and knew that someone had brought Liu Xiangxiang into the palace today in the name of the empress.

Thinking of the empress' love for Liu Xiangxiang, Bai Ze suddenly appeared and informed Zhou that the Queen Mother was not in the palace.

Bai Ze suddenly appeared like a ghost, frightening Zhou to the point of being stunned on the spot.

It wasn't until she saw Bai Ze's face clearly that she stroked her beating heart and let out a long sigh of relief.

"You said Zhou Mi is not in the palace!"

At this time, Mrs. Zhou suddenly woke up and remembered what Bai Ze had just said. In desperation, she called out the name of Queen Mother Zhou Mi.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Bai Ze's face, but he still nodded under Zhou's attention.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of fear appeared in her eyes.
