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

Chapter 190 A little thought

Liu Qi drove the carriage slowly out, leaving two bodies in the woods.

Her body exuded a faint green light, blocking out the rain like a barrier. She held the reins tightly in her hands, soothing the restless horses in the rain, and followed the direction that the man just said.

The location of the ruined temple is not too far away, but the road leading to the ruined temple seems to be completely deserted because no one has walked on it all year round. It is overgrown with grass and rocks.

It's no wonder that the merchants who were just stopped outside Li'an City didn't find such a good rain shelter.

The carriage drove bumpily through this deserted road, and a vicissitudes of temple suddenly appeared in Liu Qi's sight.

The sound of rain covered up the movement of the carriage, and Liu Qi came to the door of the ruined temple without any obstruction. She pulled the reins and stopped the carriage steadily. She turned around and saw the empty temple entrance. The temple door had long since disappeared.

Through the temple gate, you can see the brightly lit main hall of the temple.

Probably because it was raining so hard tonight, no one would come to the door, so there was not even one person standing guard outside.

Liu Qinu pursed his lips, then raised his hand and knocked lightly on the car door.

Liu Qi looked at the familiar face of the other party, and then his slightly curled fingers suddenly tightened. The strong wind dragging the other party suddenly stopped, and the other party's figure stopped steadily a few steps away from Liu Qi. Location.

……

"I won't say thank you for your kindness. If I have any missions in the future, I, Cao Cheng, will definitely make a fuss and fight to the death!"

Liu Qi, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the bonfire, turned his head and saw Cao Cheng patting the rain off his body as he crossed the door of the main hall. Then he raised his head and met Liu Qi's eyes.

Shen Ying couldn't help but smile shyly when she heard this: "Of course Ying'er remembers it. Without Uncle Cao's generous help, Ying'er wouldn't be able to sit here and talk to you."

Apart from the muffled sound of falling to the ground, these people did not even utter a scream and died on the spot.

Cao Cheng's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this, and then he once again cupped his fists at Liu Qi and said, "Miss Liu, where are you going?"

Cao Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and then a warm smile appeared on his somewhat embarrassed face.

Cao Cheng smiled slightly when he saw this, glanced at Zhou Mi and Shen Ying beside Liu Qi, and then said with a sincere face: "It's okay for Miss Liu to have strong martial arts and become an official. It's just that this girl and Ying'er will inevitably meet each other on the way. Some bumps.”

"You guys wait outside, I'll be right back."

The moment Liu Qi broke in, the people sitting around the bonfire in the palace were stunned for a moment. Then they quickly reacted and grabbed the weapons at their feet to stand up and face the enemy.

At this moment, Liu Qi heard a strange noise coming from the dark corner on the other side, as if someone was whimpering softly.

"Miss Liu, if it weren't for you today, I'm afraid Cao would have fallen into the hands of these rats!"

"Crack!"

"Copy guy!"

"Woooooooo..."

Even though he was dragged by Liu Qi's palm, the man still shook his head and let out low whimpering sounds.

"But you plan to take the official route?" Cao Cheng asked again.

Liu Qi nodded.

Liu Qi glanced at the blazing bonfire and saw that everyone around him had fallen down. Then he withdrew his gaze. Then his raised right hand suddenly turned over and his palm was aimed at the dim corner.

The five fingers were slightly together, and a gust of wind was born out of thin air and swept towards the corner. Then a person was dragged out of the corner by the strong wind. This person's hands and feet were tied up, and a rag was stuffed in his mouth. His eyes were wide open. Staring at Liu Qi curiously.

laugh! laugh! laugh……

Shen Ying suddenly understood and nodded: "Uncle Cao wants to thank Sister Liu for saving her life."

After saying that, Liu Qi immediately turned over and got off the carriage. He was as fast as lightning and walked through the rain. In an instant, he had arrived at the entrance of the main hall. Liu Qi did not make the slightest pause, and the energy in front of him suddenly condensed, with a "bang" sound. Then the already dilapidated door of the main hall was blown away.

Liu Qi, who had not yet stood still, caught a glimpse of their movements, then raised his right hand and waved it in front of him. He saw that the energy that had been condensed just now suddenly dispersed, like a falling meteor, towards the people beside the bonfire. Several people attacked.

Cao Cheng said with a solemn expression, cupping his hands, and then sat down by the bonfire. He threw a pile of firewood at his feet into the bonfire. He raised his eyes slightly and looked past the rising flames.

Liu Qi threw a piece of wood into the bonfire, interrupting the conversation between the two.

Liu Qi lowered her eyes and replied calmly: "Yongquan Mansion, Shen family."

But after all, he was a tycoon who had been in charge of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce for many years. Cao Cheng quickly averted his eyes, and immediately fell on Shen Ying's face, and then chuckled: "Ying'er, you still remember Uncle Cao."

"Hahaha, Ying'er is so smart." Cao Cheng nodded and smiled.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …" Hearing this, I saw that the other party's already perfect eyes widened visibly. Then he nodded sharply, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were already red!
It’s really him, Cao Cheng, the president of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce!
……

The sound of energy penetrating flesh and blood was heard endlessly, and then several figures were thrown into the air, with blood mist spraying out, and they hit the ground heavily.

Cao Cheng still didn't know that the "girl" he was talking about was the Queen Mother Zhou Mi.

"Ah?" Shen Ying's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Hey, it's just a little effort, it's not worth Ying'er remembering." Cao Cheng waved his hand grandly, then turned to Liu Qi and grinned, "If we really want to make a detailed calculation, Uncle Cao should pay attention to Ying'er. Say thank you!”

By the light of the bonfire, Liu Qi could see the other party's face clearly, then she frowned slightly and slowly said the other party's name: "President Cao..."

His eyes first fell on Zhou Mi's face, and then Liu Qi saw surprise and confusion flashing across Cao Cheng's eyes.

Cao Cheng smiled slightly, and then explained earnestly: "How could Cao and Miss Liu know each other without Ying'er!"

Negotiable!
A body was thrown outside, making a splash on the muddy ground.

clap clap clap...

"who!"

Zhou Mi's eyes flashed when he heard this, and then he looked up at Cao Cheng and asked softly: "I wonder, President Cao, do you have any suggestions?"

"I don't want to take the advice, but..." Cao Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, with an increasingly approachable smile, "Miss Liu also knows the business Cao is engaged in, and there are many ships passing through Yongquan during the meeting. If Miss Liu is in need, Cao You should do your best to arrange it!”

"Of course!" Zhou Mi clapped his hands and agreed directly on Liu Qi's behalf.

Cao Cheng glanced at Zhou Mi with some confusion, and then glanced at Liu Qi who had an indifferent expression, obviously unsure about the relationship between the two.

Zhou Mi seemed to see what Cao Cheng was thinking, and suddenly reached out to pick up Liu Qi's catkins, gently rubbed the back of her snow-white hand, then looked at Cao Cheng and chuckled, "My silly sister. I have always been silent, President Cao, just listen to me!" Liu Qi suddenly felt her left hand being wrapped in softness and warmth. She immediately glanced at Zhou Mi coldly, and then pulled her hand away! return.

Cao Cheng saw that although Liu Qi's eyebrows were a little impatient, he did not refute the beautiful woman's words. He already understood in his heart, so he smiled and nodded: "Cao will arrange it!"

Only then did Liu Qifang raise his head, staring coldly at Cao Cheng's smiling eyes, and then asked softly: "Does President Cao know those people just now?"

Cao Cheng couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly when he heard this, and the smile on his face froze. After a moment, the corner of his mouth showed a touch of bitterness, and he sighed softly: "Miss Liu really has a bright eye. Yes, Cao is sure. these people!"

Ever since he rescued Cao Cheng, Liu Qi had never asked him why he was kidnapped here. Originally, it was not an important matter, and Liu Qi had no intention of asking because he believed that one thing would be worse than one thing less.

But Cao Cheng himself kept silent. After handling the corpses, he sat down and looked at Zuo Yan. Liu Qi had doubts in his heart. Did this wealthy God of Wealth have any scruples about him?
So she asked, and looking at Cao Cheng's expression, there seemed to be something hidden in it!

Cao Cheng couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he saw Liu Qi's piercing gaze. He thought that he couldn't hide it, so he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in a deep voice: "To be honest, those people that Miss Liu just killed , were originally members of my Cao Gang, but when the Cao Gang changed its banner and established the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce, Cao drove these people out. "

Cao Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill on his face as he said this: "I didn't expect that Cao almost fell into their hands today."

Liu Qi blinked calmly and opened and closed her lips slightly: "When I just started, I noticed that there seemed to be one person missing in the temple."

The eldest of these people is not in the temple.

Cao Cheng glanced at Liu Qi in surprise, then nodded solemnly: "After they brought me to this ruined temple, the leader Wu Jiang went out."

Wu Jiang...should be the boss among these people.

Cao Cheng continued: "Wu Jiang was also a member of the Cao Gang back then, and his status in the gang was not low. When the military order was issued, everyone in the world was in danger, and the same was true for the Cao Gang."

"Wujiang has been colluding with North Korean and Chinese officials to smuggle salt, iron and other prohibited items. In the past, I could turn a blind eye, but after breaking the military order, in order to protect the Caogang people, I had to clean up the door."

"I just didn't expect... that he is still alive!"

With a "click" sound, Cao Cheng clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "This matter must have something to do with Yang Jun!"

Cao Cheng seemed to be aware of his gaffe, and while unclenching his fist, he explained to Liu Qi: "Yang Jun once competed with me for the position of chief helmsman, and later served as the vice president of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce. The ancestor of the Yang family He is one of the founders of the Cao Gang, and there have been several chief rudders among his ancestors.”

"Yang Jun lost to me in the competition for the chief helmsman back then. In the following years, he has been in charge of the criminal law of the gang. It was Yang Jun who personally handled the handling of Wu Jiang!"

A person who should have died many years ago suddenly appeared. Cao Cheng didn't even need to think about it, and immediately regarded Yang Jun, who was responsible for handling Wu Jiang, as the mastermind behind his kidnapping today.

And Vice President Yang also has enough reasons to do this!

There is only one thing that still bothers Liu Qi now. She stared at Cao Cheng for a moment, and then asked softly: "President Cao, why did you come to Li'an City in such a troubled time?"

It's finally here!

Cao Cheng was silent for a moment with a straight face, and then said slowly: "Two days ago, I received a secret letter from my confidant Tie Lei. He found a jade bodhi in an ancient tomb."

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly raised: "Jade Bodhi?"

Cao Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, it is the legendary Jade Bodhi!"

Hearing Cao Cheng mention Jade Bodhi, even Zhou Mi, who was a little drowsy listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly woke up and looked at Cao Cheng who was talking eloquently.

"The rarest elixir in Kunlun's desperate situation, a magical object that people in the martial arts world dream of. It is known as one of the three great treasures in the world. Just one pill can cleanse the muscles and marrow and regenerate creation..."

Cao Cheng paused for a moment, then said in a solemn voice: "It is said that the only Bodhi tree located in the deepest part of Kunlun's desperate area has withered a thousand years ago. Not to mention that it has been passed down to the world, and the number of times the Jade Bodhi tree has appeared in the past thousand years can be counted on one's fingers. ”

"Whether what Tie Lei said in the letter is true or not, I have to verify it with my own eyes, so I left the capital alone after receiving the secret letter. I didn't expect..."

Cao Cheng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought about what happened today.

Then he raised his eyes and saw Liu Qi with shining eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart!
The smile on Liu Qi's lips could hardly be suppressed. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain!

No wonder Cao Cheng had been paying attention to Zuoyan and refused to tell him clearly about his purpose of coming or being kidnapped. It turned out that there was such a big treasure hidden behind him!

"President Cao..." Liu Qi immediately calmed down and said in a faint tone, "I should repay you with a spring of water for saving my life!"

Cao Cheng suppressed the bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and then nodded slightly: "Since Miss Liu is interested in Jade Bodhi, Cao will naturally not hide anything."

"Okay!" Liu Qi responded decisively, "President Cao, please rest assured, with Liu Qi here, Jade Bodhi will definitely not be able to escape!"

As for who can’t escape, that’s another story!

After saying that, Liu Qi looked at Cao Cheng with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

You dare to play tricks with yourself.

It seems that Cao Cheng had personally witnessed Liu Qi's enthusiasm for elixirs, so Cao Cheng planned to conceal the matter of Jade Bodhi from the beginning.

However, he now admitted that it was not all because of Liu Qi's questioning.

Cao Cheng knew that Liu Qi's involvement was inevitable, so he calmed down his thoughts immediately, and then said with a heavy gaze: "Miss Liu, I'm afraid that Li'an City today is not a kind place?"

"Oh?"

Liu Qi recalled the scene of thousands of people being turned away from the city today, and couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean by this?"

Cao Cheng responded: "Cao doesn't know the specific situation in detail. He just heard it mentioned by spies in the Chamber of Commerce. It seems to be related to 'The Saint of Thieves' Chu Xingbai."

……

clatter! clatter! clatter!
Two fast horses, one behind the other, galloped down the muddy official road, completely ignoring the pouring rain!
"Uu——"

The knight in front suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, waiting for the knight behind to catch up. The strong man on the horse raised his finger and pointed at the fork in front of him and asked: "Brother Sun, which way do you think the witch will take?"

Hearing this, another person stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face, and then said loudly: "The weather is so bad, the witch must not be able to go far. I estimated their distance, and it is very likely that they have gone to Li'an City to avoid the rain."

As he spoke, he pointed to the road on the right and said loudly: "My father is the magistrate of Li'an. If Brother Qiao can trust me, you might as well go to Li'an City together first. Even if the demon girl is not there, Mingchao will tell his father , send someone to chase the witch."

"it is good!"

"Let's go, drive!"

"drive!"

The two horses headed straight for Li'an City in the strong wind and rain!
