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

Chapter 197 The Seventh Person

Seeing that the other party was so understanding, the coldness in Liu Qi's eyes gradually disappeared, and then she wrinkled her nose slightly and let out a cold snort.

This cold snort fell into Xia Yuanpeng's ears, and he couldn't help but tremble. His lowered eyes quickly glanced at Qiao Wulang's body not far away, and the remaining trace of resentment in his heart disappeared in an instant.

Crying when seeing a coffin is a rare quality among Jianghu people.

The onlookers were already in an uproar and were at a loss when they saw Qiao Wulang being stabbed through the chest by Liu Qiyi's knife. Now, looking at Xia Yuanpeng's respectful appearance in front of Liu Qi, they felt nothing at all.

The leader of the Raging Thunder Gang is really not as good as the leader of the Beggars Gang.

only……

Liu Qi felt countless glances from behind her, so she slowly turned her head, her eyes passing over everyone's faces one by one indifferently. Wherever she looked, everyone lowered their heads in a hurry, not daring to look directly at her. s eyes.

Finally, Liu Qi's eyes fell on the middle-aged man named Han who was at the same table with him just now.

The middle-aged man surnamed Han had already lowered his head. He saw the whole process of Qiao Wulang's murder in his eyes. His heart was already trembling with fear, and his forehead was covered with sweat. Recalling his words and actions on the table just now, he I wish I could slap myself twice on the spot.

After seeing off the guests, Xia Yuanpeng invited Liu Qi and Cao Cheng into the lobby. After a few people took their seats, he waved his hand to signal the servants who were cleaning to leave first.

However, if Cao Cheng knew that Liu Qi had already offended Jiang Jiyu, the owner of Feiyu Villa, who was also one of the "Seven Stars", he would be so shocked that he could not even speak.

He is indeed a person who has a name for himself with the Lord Chief Assistant!
Sun Butao thought so in his heart.

Seeing that the banquet could not be held, Xia Yuanpeng finally got a nod from Liu Qi, apologized to all the guests, and then politely sent everyone out of the house.

Although Qiao Wulang was not a disciple of the two top masters of the Beggar Clan, his mentor was also the Nine Pockets Elder of the Beggar Clan. In terms of martial arts and status, he was only below those two in the Clan.

Liu Qi curled her lips and lowered her eyes slightly to the protruding hilt of the sword at her waist, thinking that sooner or later, she would have to offend all the great martial arts giants in the world.

……

Cao Cheng turned his head slightly and took a deep look at Liu Qi, who was calm as usual beside him. He thought to himself, is this woman really not afraid?
That's a gang of beggars!

Sun Butao, the prefect of Li'an who was on the side, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He had already prepared for the worst.

When only the three of them were left in the empty lobby, Xia Yuanpeng smiled slightly, then looked at Liu Qi and said, "Girl, if you have anything to say, please speak up. If Xia can do it, he will definitely not refuse."

Cao Cheng looked at the people hurriedly filing out of the villa's gate with worried eyes, thinking that in less than two days, the news that Liu Qi had killed Qiao Wulang would reach the head of the Beggar Clan. By then...

Speaking of which, the man surnamed Han was not lying. When he was young, he also played for the Raging Thunder Gang. As a sparring partner, he fought against Xia Yuanpeng, who was also a young man at the time, but that was more than 20 years ago.

Liu Qi glanced coldly at Cao Cheng sitting next to him.

"The martial arts Qiao Wulang just used should be the Dragon Yuan Tiangang of the Xiaoyao lineage of the Beggar Clan. This magical skill can only be practiced by the leader of the Beggar Clan. It seems that Gu Lianyun also..."

Xia Yuanpeng raised his eyes slightly and looked around. Seeing everyone's eyes turning here, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Then he licked his dry lips. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and cupped his fists in his hands: "Girl, Please tell me in the hall!"

Xia Yuanpeng could naturally feel Cao Cheng's gaze, but he raised his eyes and glanced at Cao Cheng's face. He felt vaguely familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Liu Qi, who killed Qiao Wulang, wanted to silence everyone present in order to prevent the news from being leaked and attracting the beggar gang's pursuit.

It's not that she regrets it, she just feels that her experience was a little too "smooth". Anyone she meets on the road is a core member of the top forces in the world.

Cao Cheng also took advantage of the opportunity to stand next to Liu Qi at this time, staring at Xia Yuanpeng closely, as if he wanted to know what happened from his face.

Now I see that Liu Qi has no intention of leaving anyone behind, and he has never said anything about asking the people present to keep their mouths shut, as if he doesn't care about the Beggar Clan at all.

While watching the guests leave the villa, Cao Cheng whispered in Liu Qi's ear, finally letting her know what kind of person Qiao Wulang had just been killed.

After receiving the gesture from Liu Qi's eyes, Cao Cheng immediately sat up straight with his hands on the armrests of the chair, and then asked in a solemn voice: "Master Xia, I don't know why you took action against Cao's people yesterday."

Xia Yuanpeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then raised his eyes to fall on Cao Cheng's face. After a few glances, he suddenly choked on his breath. He grabbed the armrests with both hands, steadying himself and about to stand up. body.

"President Cao!"

Xia Yuanpeng finally recognized Cao Cheng.

Cao Cheng sneered: "Hahaha, Master Xia really has a sharp eye. I must have only met you two or three times."

"You're still alive!" Xia Yuanpeng blurted out subconsciously, and then his eyes trembled suddenly, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

At this time, Cao Cheng's eyes were fierce and he glared at Xia Yuanpeng: "So it's you!"

"Canglang!"

Cao Cheng unsheathed his sword without any hesitation, and pointed the sword's edge directly at Xia Yuanpeng, who was sitting on the throne. The anger on his face gradually subsided, and his tone became calmer: "Tell me, who is instigating you behind your back."

Cao Cheng was also a tycoon who had been in charge of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce for decades. Almost instantly, he thought that even the Raging Thunder Gang in its heyday could not swallow up the entire Water Transport Chamber of Commerce in one go.

Therefore, although Xia Yuanpeng knew about it, he was definitely not the mastermind. The real mastermind must still be within the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce.

"Somebody come!"

After recognizing Cao Cheng, Xia Yuanpeng also knew that things might not go well today, so he loudly called to the disciples outside the door. As soon as he finished speaking, along with the sound of hurried footsteps, several people with handheld hands stood out at the entrance of the main hall. The figure of the weapon.

Whoosh!
Cao Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold when he saw this, and he immediately swung his sword towards Xia Yuanpeng.

Xia Yuanpeng was not an ordinary person. He first threw the seat he was sitting on to slightly block Cao Cheng, and then his body instantly surged with strong zhenqi. He raised his arms and made palm gestures with his five fingers, and went towards Cao Cheng.

"Protect the Villa Master!" More than ten disciples of Lei Ming Villa had gathered at the door. Seeing Xia Yuanpeng and Cao Cheng fighting together, an unknown person shouted, and then more than ten disciples shouted in unison, raised their heads and killed Come over.

Liu Qi'an sat comfortably on the Taishi chair with her legs crossed as usual, holding a steaming teacup in one hand, and holding the lid in the other hand and gently scraping the rim of the cup.

At this moment, a disciple of Lei Ming Villa who was passing by in a hurry seemed to turn his head and saw Liu Qi.

"Bitch, how dare you act so arrogantly here!" This person didn't know where he got the courage, but he raised his knife and struck Liu Qi directly on the head.

Zheng——

Liu Qi suddenly raised her eyes. As her eyes narrowed, the blade of the shimmering cold light suddenly stopped less than five fingers away from her eyes. Then the blade trembled slightly and made a buzzing sound.

The disciple of Lei Ming Villa who was holding the knife pressed hard on the handle of the knife and wanted to slash downwards, but the long knife in his hand was as solid as a rock and did not move at all. His eyes suddenly widened, and then his other hand was placed on the handle of the knife. Above, he clenched his hands and instantly suppressed his blush, as if he had exhausted all his strength! As expected, the ignorant are fearless.

Liu Qi slowly lowered his eyes, and then gently scratched the cup lid with his hand.

Nourishes—

With an extremely slight stabbing sound, the long knife frozen in front of Liu Qi's body suddenly "clicked", and the blade suddenly cracked, and then one of the remaining blades quickly swept back, directly piercing the throat of the disciple holding the knife.

boom!
As a hot corpse fell to the ground, Liu Qi placed the tea cup on the wooden table at hand, then stood up slowly, looked sideways at the people who were flying up and down, and said softly: "That's enough. "

"enough!"

The words echoed in the lobby, and everyone couldn't help but feel shocked when they heard it.

Xia Yuanpeng, who had already gained the upper hand at this time, felt that the energy and blood in his body suddenly boiled. He almost couldn't suppress his movements and went awry. Then he suddenly withdrew and landed on the ground, and gave a vicious look at Cao Cheng, who was in a somewhat embarrassed state.

Then his eyes darkened, and his eyes slowly moved to Liu Qi, who had already stood up.

Cao Cheng's martial arts skills were at best average, so Xia Yuanpeng was naturally not afraid, but the woman in front of him...

"Miss Liu."

Cao Cheng retreated to Liu Qi's side. He covered his left arm and called out Liu Qi's name through gritted teeth.

"Where did Tie Lei go?" Liu Qi stared into Xia Yuanpeng's eyes and asked softly.

She was not interested in the grudge between Xia Yuanpeng and Cao Cheng. She was here for Jade Bodhi from beginning to end.

When the word "Tie Lei" was spoken, Liu Qi caught a flash of strange color in Xia Yuanpeng's eyes and confirmed that this person was indeed one of the two masters who attacked Tie Lei yesterday.

Xia Yuanpeng glanced at the corpse at Liu Qi's feet and recognized that the corpse was a disciple that he valued very much. He was busy fighting with Cao Cheng just now and did not see how the disciple died, but now he He saw the broken knife on the ground and the bleeding wound in the disciple's throat.

He took a deep breath, and then replied in a deep voice: "Girl, there must be some misunderstanding in this!"

call out!
Liu Qi flipped her right hand hanging by her side, and a burst of energy shot out from her fingers towards Xia Yuanpeng's position.
"what--"

A shrill scream instantly exploded in Xia Yuanpeng's ears.

He turned around and saw a disciple next to him lying on his back with dull eyes. A blood hole appeared in the disciple's throat, with blood flowing continuously.

"Master Xia, have you remembered now?" Liu Qi asked lightly.

Xia Yuanpeng's eyes suddenly condensed, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart, so that his voice became hoarse: "Girl... don't bully others too much!"

call out!call out!
Two piercing sounds sounded instantly.

thump!
Xia Yuanpeng's body collapsed suddenly, and he fell to his knees heavily on the ground. Then his eyes were about to burst, and he opened his mouth wide and screamed "Ah——".

Blood was pouring out from Xia Yuanpeng's knees.

Cao Cheng couldn't help but sneered when he saw this, and then a touch of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Tie Lei... Tie Lei has been targeted a long time ago!" Xia Yuanpeng suppressed the severe pain and shouted at the top of his voice, "Yesterday I just closed the net, but I didn't expect... Siha!"

The heartbreaking pain that came from his knee made him gasp.

Hearing this, Cao Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked: "So, you have already known that he sent a secret letter to the capital?"

"Hehehe... President Cao." Xia Yuanpeng suddenly raised his head and grinned at Cao Cheng, "You have been in charge of the Cao Gang for decades. Don't you know in your heart how many people want you to die!"

Cao Cheng's face was as dark as water, and two words popped out of his mouth: "Yang Jun?"

"Hehehe..." Xia Yuanpeng's suppressed chuckle was the only response.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yuanpeng turned to look at Liu Qi, his face instantly became gloomy, and the resentment in his eyes almost burst out: "Are you doing it for the Jade Bodhi?"

Liu Qi said nothing.

Xia Yuanpeng showed a stunned expression for a moment, and then said coldly: "Let me ask, what price can Cao Cheng offer to hire a master like you?"

"So you're not going to tell me Tie Lei's whereabouts?" Liu Qiping asked calmly.

Hearing this, Xia Yuanpeng lowered his eyes and looked at his knees, then shook his head and said solemnly: "Yesterday, there were seven of us in the group. I thought that we could only defeat Tie Lei with a handful of hands."

"I never expected that a master would suddenly appear and fight with us. Tie Lei took the opportunity to kill two of my disciples and escape from the house..."

Liu Qi's cold tone interrupted Xia Yuanpeng's words: "You mean, there were seven of you there yesterday?"

After that, Liu Qi saw Xia Yuanpeng nodded hesitantly, and then he understood in his heart, then turned and walked straight out the door.

Just when she reached the threshold, she suddenly paused, then turned slightly and looked back and said, "Thank you!"

call out!
Immediately, the sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and a light blue energy passed through the lobby and directly pierced Xia Yuanpeng's throat.

boom!
Seeing the wide-eyed Xia Yuanpeng fall on his back, Cao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Liu Qi walking out of the door, and hurriedly chased after him.

Before he could speak, Liu Qi's voice came to his ears: "Chu Xingbai said there were six people, but Xia Yuanpeng said there were seven of them."

Cao Cheng replied subconsciously: "Some of them lied."

"No." Liu Qi paused, and then said in a calm tone, "None of them should have lied. It's just that Chu Xingbai didn't notice the seventh person."

Thinking about it, the Jade Bodhi is one of the three great treasures in the martial arts world. Although Xia Yuanpeng can be regarded as a powerful person, he definitely has no qualifications to get involved in such a treasure.

The seventh person that even Chu Xingbai hadn't discovered was most likely the real mastermind behind the scenes.

With this man's martial arts, even if Tie Lei escaped from the courtyard where he was hiding, he could not escape from his grasp!
