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

Chapter 163: In the Fang family ancestral hall, the shadow of blood suddenly appears

The Anle Hou Fang family's residence is in the west of the city, only three streets away from the Liu Mansion. It only took Liu Qi a moment to reach the street entrance where the gate of the Hou Mansion is located.

Although it was still early in the day, there were no pedestrians or vendors on the spacious street, which was quite deserted.

Liu Qi still remembered that the last time she came here, she happened to bump into Xia Yaoyao, the young lady from the Qingguo Duke's Mansion, who came to ask questions. Thinking of this, Liu Qi looked at the gate of the Hou Mansion, as if she saw the red dress again. The delicate and savage woman in clothes kicked the red door with all her strength.

Of course, Liu Qi would not go through the main entrance. She stood there and watched for a long time, and finally turned and left the street.

Easily crossing the outer wall, Liu Qi successfully entered the Hou Mansion. After calming down for a moment, she could clearly detect the movement within dozens of steps, centered on herself.

Although he had never been to Anlehou Mansion, Liu Qi walked freely through the mansion, relying on his five senses that were far beyond ordinary people, and was not noticed by anyone in the Fang family.

Walking slowly on the stone-paved path, Liu Qi recalled the last time he fought against Fang Weixian, the second son of the Fang family.

It is obvious that Fang Weixian's sword technique is indeed derived from the Crazy Sword, but it has completely abandoned the essence of the Crazy Saber. At best, it can only be regarded as a good battle formation sword technique, and it cannot even be compared in the world of martial arts.

Except for Fang Weixian, Liu Qi already knew the information about other members of the Fang family clearly.

Although the Hou Mansion was very large, the layouts of the big families were similar. It didn't take much effort for Liu Qi to find the Fang family ancestral hall. The thick scent of incense was the best guide.

Separated from the Fang family ancestral hall by only one wall was a martial arts stage. At this time, several people were competing on the martial arts stage.

But...the Fang Family Ancestral Hall!
Regarding the life of Kuangdao Fang Hen, it rarely appears in the historical materials circulated on the market. Even if it does appear occasionally, it is only in a few words, and most of them only record the death of Fang Hen, the surrender of the Fang family to Cheng Tai. Ancestor thing.

Liu Qi hid aside and took a glance, and found that they were all acquaintances!
The two people fighting in the center of the stage were Xu Fangfei, the crown prince's wife, and Xu Yongyuan, the former head of the Changfeng Escort Bureau and now the headhunter of the Six Doors.

Moreover, Liu Qi concluded that the palm technique used by Xu Fangfei was derived from the palm technique used by Xu Yongyuan.

Therefore, Liu Qi's main target in coming to Fang Mansion today was not the Fang family.

Seeing that there was no real energy fluctuation in Fang Weining's body, Liu Qi quickly averted his eyes and returned to the field. He saw that both of them were using palm skills, flying up and down and hitting him back and forth.

After just a few glances, Liu Qi discovered some clues about their martial arts.

Liu Qi immediately calmed down and looked at a few more moves before he realized that although the two palm techniques were slightly different in style, they were derived from the same palm technique.

Watching the battle on the side were Fang Ruolan and another man Liu Qi had never seen before. Seeing that he was slender, with a white face and no beard, and his eyes were always staring at Xu Fangfei, Liu Qi guessed that this man should be Fang Weining, the prince of Anlehou.

The other party hates his own life, which is completely blank.

As for the prince Fang Weining, Liu Qi’s impression can be roughly classified into the following points:
A scholar but not a martial artist, Xu Fangfei's husband.

And the current situation of not finding this person just shows one thing... there is something fishy in this!
So Liu Qi thought about going to the Fang family ancestral hall before leaving the capital to see if he could find some clues from the Fang family's family history.

The current Anle Hou Fangping, although he still carries the title of General of the Beijing Camp, is actually idle at home.

However, in the process of carving up military power, Fang Ping failed to compete with Prince Renyuan of Anguo, and in the end he only received an empty title.

But in Liu Qi's eyes, the two palm techniques had a very similar charm in some places.

The path he took was very similar to that of his second son Fang Weixian. He entered the army early when he was young. He rose through the ranks thanks to the legacy of his ancestors and became one of the chief officers of the Beijing camp. Although his official rank was not low, his martial arts skills were mediocre. , so his prestige in the military is not high.

Judging from these deeds, Anle Hou Fangping does not seem to be a person with secrets.

Such a stunning master once competed with Emperor Taizu for world supremacy, and was ultimately defeated by Taizu Xiao Lang. Due to both emotion and reason, such figures should be recorded in historical records.

Although the palm techniques used by Xu Fangfei and Xu Yongyuan appear to be very different, one is hard and soft with long stamina, while the other is extremely fast and powerful.

In the eighteenth year of Taikang, with the return of the Queen Mother Zhou Mi and the retirement of the generals, the military power that had been firmly controlled by the generals returned to the hands of the nobles.

Because Xu Fangfei's palm skills were more subtle, and because Liu Qi could see clearly, Xu Fangfei had the upper hand in the moves.

Unfortunately……

As Liu Qi shook his head slightly, the situation on the martial arts stage instantly reversed. Xu Yongyuan, who had already faintly revealed his appearance of defeat, had a strong aura coming out of him. Then he struck out with both palms one after another. First, he struck Xu Fangfei with one palm. The moves were completely disrupted, and the palms that followed one after another stopped in front of Xu Fangfei's face.

"Hahaha..." Xu Yongyuan slowly removed his palm, then laughed loudly, "Fangfei, uncle won again!"

Xu Fangfei was speechless, bulging her cheeks like a child, and complained: "Didn't I agree that I won't use internal energy? Uncle, you are cheating again!"

Although Xu Fangfei's palm skills are very subtle, her internal strength is far from that of Xu Yongyuan. Once her internal strength is used, no matter how powerful her moves are, it will be useless.

When Liu Qi saw that the two people on the stage had already decided the winner, he lost interest and turned around and walked towards the Fang Family Ancestral Hall.

Xu Yongyuan and Xu Fangfei both came from the Xu family in Qingjiang Prefecture.

The Xu family is also a well-known martial arts family in the world. In addition to Xu Yongyuan, the uncle who once worked for the Changfeng Escort Agency, Xu Fangfei also has a younger brother who has joined Qingcheng.

Liu Qi vaguely remembered that the Xu family's ancestral martial arts consisted of two sets of palm techniques, which presumably were used by Xu Yongyuan and Xu Fangfei just now.

For Liu Qi, who has the Yimu Divine Technique, the Canghai Divine Art and the Crazy Sword, these two sets of palm techniques are naturally out of her sight, but looking at the entire world, it is quite good to have a complete set of martial arts inheritance. .

Liu Qi entered the ancestral hall, his eyes passed over the memorial tablets, and then landed on the tribute table in the center. Sure enough, there was a genealogy placed on it.

If you can set up an ancestral hall at home, of course your family tree can be kept in the ancestral hall for worship at any time.

Liu Qi stepped forward and picked up the Fang family tree and looked through it carefully.

Sure enough, there is Fang Ping’s record!

However, Liu Qi only glanced at it for a few times before her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

With a focused gaze, she roughly read through the contents at the back of the genealogy.

Although the records in the Fang family genealogy are not exhaustive, they still roughly depict Fang Hen's life.

First of all, Fang Hen is not called Fang Hen, his original name is Fang Heng.

According to the records of the Fang family genealogy, Fang Hen was born in a wealthy family. Before he was six years old, his life could be said to be happy.

But when he was six years old, chaos broke out in the world, and Fang Hen's father joined the army and died on the battlefield.

Within two years, the war broke out in Fang Hen's hometown. Fang Hen's mother, sister and infant brother all died in the rebellion. Fang Hen, who survived, was adopted by the Fang clan. In the process of practicing martial arts with the clan's disciples, his extraordinary talent became apparent. At less than twenty years old, he was already a rare master in the world, and Fang Hen was able to use his crazy sword to fight. With his reputation, he gathered a large number of people around him and became princes in troubled times.

The subsequent experiences recorded in the genealogy are very brief. It was not until Fang Hen made an appointment with Xiao Lang, Emperor Taizu of Da Qi, that he never came back. The Fang clan could not control Fang Hen's men, so they directly surrendered to Da Qi.

Liu Qi slowly closed the family tree in his hand, with disappointment in his eyes, and then put the family tree back to its original place.

Compared with the historical materials on the market, the family tree does contain records of Fang Hen's life.

But not much!
Liu Qi wanted to know how Fang Hen learned such shocking martial arts.

There is only one mention in the family tree.

Liu Qi wanted to find out how Fang Hen created the Crazy Sword, a martial art that could concentrate killing intent.

It's not mentioned in the family tree, it's just that Fang Hen's nickname is "Crazy Sword".

Although Liu Qi had been prepared to get nothing before coming to Fang Mansion, the disappointment in Liu Qi's heart at this moment was still somewhat uncontrollable.

Can we really only place our hopes on the Shen family?
Liu Qi was actually very unhappy about the fact that Shen Zhuang left the method of eliminating the backlash of murderous intent to Shen Ying as a backup plan.

Although Shen Zhuang did not explicitly make any demands on Liu Qi when explaining to Shen Ying, at most he just hoped that Liu Qi could send Shen Ying to the Shen family safely.

This matter is not difficult. Liu Qi is going to Shen's house anyway.

But Liu Qi just felt unhappy!
She hates being controlled by others, and she hates being plotted against.

Liu Qi's eyes were slightly cold, and the paleness in her eyes was fleeting.

Liu Qi slowly raised his left hand and touched the jade sword on his waist. As the warm and cool air poured into his body, the murderous thoughts that suddenly appeared in his heart disappeared instantly.

The fight with Luo Yuyan almost exhausted her energy. Although her injuries had healed a lot, her energy had not yet been completely restored. The murderous intention that had been suppressed before was flowing freely between the meridians.

Compared to the pain caused by the killing intent eroding his muscles and veins, the killing intent that had just emerged made Liu Qi shudder in her heart.

She knew very well that the murderous intention just now was caused by the back-up plan left by Shen Zhuang, but what appeared in her mind was Shen Ying's timid face.

Liu Qi slowly closed her eyes.

She had murderous thoughts towards a twelve-year-old girl!
Maybe it was because in Liu Qi's heart, Shen Zhuang was already in danger, so she directed her dissatisfaction at Shen Zhuang's plot against Shen Ying.

The backlash of murderous intent brings not only physical pain.

She opened her eyes and looked sideways at the tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall, but did not find the tablet with Fang Hen's name written on it.

Fang Hen has no direct descendants. Anlehou's ancestors are only Fang Hen's same clan.

Therefore, even though the Fang family listed Fang Hen as an ancestor in their family tree, there was not a single tablet belonging to Fang Hen in the entire ancestral hall.

Liu Qi's eyes finally fell on the tribute table. She stared at the family tree for a long time, and finally turned around and walked out of the ancestral hall door.

After walking out of the Fang Family Ancestral Hall, Liu Qi, who found nothing, was about to leave, but suddenly she paused. As her nose twitched slightly, Liu Qi slowly looked sideways. What she saw was a courtyard. wall, and behind the courtyard wall is the Fang family's martial arts stage.

A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Qi's eyes, and she immediately took two steps towards the martial arts arena, then raised her head slightly, as if catching something in the air.

As the smell of blood entered her nose again, Liu Qi's eyes narrowed, her feet lowered, and she jumped up from the spot.

At this time, Xu Fangfei was sparring with her sister-in-law Fang Ruolan on the martial arts stage. The palm moves used by the two were exactly the same, but Fang Ruolan was obviously not proficient enough, and she was stumbling with a set of palm skills. If Xu Fangfei hadn't kept her hands on everything, the victory would have been decided long ago. out.

Xu Yongyuan and Fang Weining, who were watching the battle on the sidelines, couldn't help laughing when they saw Fang Ruolan's busy appearance on the court.

"Ruolan's three-legged cat skills are so good, but she still likes to show off!" The person who spoke was Fang Weining.

As Fang Ruolan's eldest brother, although he spoke with an attitude of hating iron, as long as you are not deaf, you can hear the deep affection in his tone.

Xu Yongyuan, a veteran of the martial arts world, smiled and said, "Ruolan doesn't have to travel around the world. It's pretty good to be able to practice martial arts to this point!"

Fang Weining also smiled in agreement when he heard this, but then he seemed to think of something, and his face gradually darkened: "It is a troubled time in Beijing now. If you can have good martial arts..."

"Ugh!"

Before he finished speaking, Fang Weining couldn't help but sigh.

He felt a little regretful about why he stopped practicing martial arts in the first place.

Seeing Fang Weining's face darken, Xu Yongyuan was about to say a few words of comfort when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye, walking towards the martial arts stage.

He turned his head and looked at the figure dressed as a servant of the Hou Mansion, walking towards him and others step by step. A hint of doubt suddenly appeared in Xu Yongyuan's eyes.

For some reason, he always felt that this man's figure was a little strange.

As his eyes slowly moved down and landed on the figure's feet, Xu Yongyuan's eyes suddenly condensed, and then a layer of solemnity appeared on his face.

"Who are you!" He shouted angrily, taking a step forward and blocking Fang Weining.

This roar caused Xu Fangfei and Fang Ruolan, who were sparring, to stop. They both looked sideways, with doubts written all over their faces.

Fang Weining also poked his head out from behind Xu Yongyuan with a puzzled look, glanced at the servants of the Hou Mansion who were already standing under the martial arts stage, and immediately asked: "Uncle Xu, isn't this a servant of our Hou Mansion?"

"Hmph!" Xu Yongyuan sneered, his eyes fixed on the servant of the Marquis Mansion, "I have never heard of a servant walking without leaving even a trace!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes instantly turned to the feet of the servant of the Hou Mansion.

"Giggle..."

Suddenly, a harsh and sinister laughter sounded in everyone's ears.

The servant of the Hou Mansion slowly raised his head, revealing a bloodless face. His scarlet eyes scanned the people on the martial arts stage, and finally fell on Xu Yongyuan.

"You were the one who killed that old immortal 'Poison God'?"
