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

Chapter 198 The nature of murderous intent
Liu Qi had just stepped out of the main hall door when a figure suddenly passed in front of her eyes. She glanced slightly and saw clearly that the person who came was Chu Xingbai dressed as a servant, and then she suppressed the coldness in her eyes.

Chu Xingbai landed in front of Liu Qi very gracefully, and then asked with a confused look: "What's going on, where are the guests in Zhuangzi?"

Liu Qi saw that the direction Chu Xingbai came from was not in the direction of the backyard of the villa, so she asked, "What did you find in the backyard?"

Earlier at the banquet, Chu Xingbai said that he wanted to explore the heavily guarded courtyard in the backyard of the villa, but now he came from the direction of the main gate of the villa.

Hearing Liu Qi mention the backyard, Chu Xingbai immediately rolled his eyes, and then said in an impatient tone, "It's unlucky to say that there is nothing in the other courtyard, but there are two coffins."

There were only two coffins placed in such a heavily guarded courtyard?

Liu Qi frowned, and then looked at Chu Xingbai dimly.

This guy is a bit dishonest. He still hasn't explained clearly why he just went to the backyard of the Villa, but now he is coming from the direction of the gate of Lei Ming Villa.

Looking at Liu Qi's cold eyes, Chu Xingbai couldn't help but shrink his neck, then pursed his lips and said angrily: "There is a secret passage in the yard that leads directly to a house outside the village."

This is only reasonable!
Liu Qi suppressed the coldness in her eyes, and then said calmly: "Take me to have a look."

So Liu Qi promised him 20% of the benefits, then turned around and saw Chu Xingbai who was looking at him eagerly, and also gave him 20% by the way.

"Hahaha, Chu only needs to make a few moves, but it's not easy to catch him." Chu Xingbai smiled triumphantly, "When it comes to Qinggong, I, Chu Xingbai, claim to be second. I'm afraid no one in this world dares to claim to be first! "

"There are really two coffins!" Cao Cheng was also shocked when he saw it.

Even Cao Cheng, who has been in charge of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce for many years and has seen big storms, couldn't help but smack his tongue and said, "I'm afraid that the family fortune accumulated by the Nu Lei Gang for hundreds of years is all here!"

Liu Qi caught a glimpse of the four people's hands caressing the handle of the knife. Unfortunately, only one of them had the blade slightly exposed from the sheath.

Just as Liu Qi and his party were on their way to the other courtyard, news of Xia Yuanpeng's death finally spread in the villa.

As for the 70% that Chu Xingbai was talking about... Cao Cheng thought that if you have the ability, go and get it from Liu Qi.

The gold piled up on a wall alone is already an astronomical figure.

I’ve been fussing for a long time, so I plan to eat alone!

Although it was more than half the 70% that Chu Xingbai requested just now, he still showed a happy smile and said, "You have the capital to raise a son!"

Liu Qi thought about Sang Manman's belly and guessed it was only this month.

Chu Xingbai's eyes flickered when he heard this, but when he glanced at the knife on Liu Qi's waist, he couldn't help but sigh, and then he could only turn around silently and lead Liu Qi towards the backyard.

Ignoring Chu Xingbai's boastful words, Liu Qi stepped forward and pushed open the closed door of the main house. The door creaked open, and in an instant a strong sandalwood scent mixed with a faint rotten smell poured in. Liu Qi's nose.

The original owner Xia Yuanpeng has been killed by her!
That's fine.

Chu Xingbai reluctantly walked between the two coffins, then squatted down and reached out to grab on the floor, then lifted up a thick stone slab, revealing the dark tunnel entrance.

Although Liu Qi doesn't like money, no one wants money too little.

Moreover, after leaving the capital, she now only had less than a few thousand taels of silver left on her hands. Most of the money she had was given to Zhang Cheng and Chun Yan who stayed in the capital to rebuild the wandering souls.

wrong!

Pushing open the ajar wooden door of the other courtyard, four sculpture-like bodies instantly appeared in Liu Qi's sight.

Liu Qi frowned slightly, then stared into the room, and two dark coffins came into view instantly.

"The owner of the village was killed!"

"Bang!"

Liu Qi was naturally not interested in the coffin. After being slightly surprised, she motioned to Chu Xingbai to tell her the authentic location.

These four bodies were dressed the same as the disciples of Thunder Villa outside. Although they were full of vitality, their eyes and bodies seemed to be frozen, and they all kept their heads raised and looked up into the air.

After hearing the news, the disciples of Leiming Villa rushed to the main hall of the Villa, wanting to confirm with their own eyes whether this bolt from the blue was true, so Liu Qi and his party arrived at their destination without encountering any obstacles.

Cao Cheng opened the nearest box, revealing a dazzling array of jewelry inside, and then exclaimed: "Ha!"

"The owner of the village is dead!"

Plus these dozen boxes...

Listening to Cao Cheng's tone, Liu Qi seemed to regard the gold, silver and jewelry in the room as belongings, without any regard for the original owner of these belongings.

Of course Cao Cheng agreed.

However, she couldn't take away these gold and silver jewelry. She then thought of Cao Cheng and asked him if she could exchange the gold and silver jewelry into silver notes at his place.

Liu Qi shook his head slightly when he heard this. This man's face was not worse than his Qinggong.

There are six more of the same "sculptures" at the entrance to the main house of the other courtyard.

……

"Hey, hey, let's agree first, I discovered this treasure first." Seeing this, Chu Xingbai said impatiently, "I must at least take... 70%!"

Cao Cheng closed the box, glanced sideways at Chu Xingbai, then looked at the silent Liu Qi and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, Cao won't take any of the things here. It's up to you, girl, to make the decision."

"Mr. Chu, what a skill!" Cao Cheng also saw that the six people at the door of the main room had their acupoints tapped at almost the same time, so he looked at Chu Xingbai and praised him.

"Chu's acupoint-pointing skills are even better than Qinggong. Not to mention anything else, even if a double master attacks the people who are tapped by Chu, they can't be untied!"

Liu Qi knew without asking that this was Chu Xingbai's masterpiece. These four Lei Ming Villa disciples were the guards of the other courtyard. The moment they looked up and found Chu Xingbai, they were hit by Chu Xingbai's acupoints and drew their swords. No chance of sheathing.

She finally understood why Chu Xingbai seemed reluctant.

Liu Qi followed the tunnel to a stone room and saw a stack of iron boxes stacked in front of him, as well as gold bars forming a wall on the other side.

……

After coming out of the secret passage, Liu Qi and his party went directly to Chu Xingbai and Sang Manman's house.

After the four of them sat down, Cao Chenggang told everything about what had just happened at Thunder Villa, including Liu Qidao's killing of Qiao Wulang, and how he found out from Xia Yuanpeng that there was a seventh person near Tie Lei's hiding place yesterday...

Chu Xingbai stood up when he heard this, and then said with a stern face: "This is impossible!"

"Unless that person is an extremely expert, there's no way I wouldn't notice it!"

People who are good at keeping their breath and hiding their traces naturally have their own unique abilities in perception. Chu Xingbai is quite confident in this and naturally does not want to believe that there was someone hiding under his nose yesterday.

Liu Qi ignored Chu Xingbai, but looked at Cao Cheng, and asked in a deep voice: "President Cao, is Tie Lei really trustworthy?"

Cao Cheng hesitated for a while, but nodded solemnly. He still firmly believed that Tie Lei was still loyal to him, and gave sufficient reasons.

Tie Lei's wife and children were placed by Cao Cheng, and even Tie Lei himself did not know where they were placed. "Tie Lei comes from a family of tomb robbers, and his ancestors have been carrying cases for generations. He doesn't want his children to follow this path, so he asked me to find other paths for his wife and children."

"Furthermore... because Tie Lei went to the tomb all the time, the Yin Qi in the tomb eroded his ability to have children."

In this way, Liu Qi could understand why Cao Cheng was so convinced of Tie Lei's loyalty to him.

"Tell me, is that Tie Lei already..." Chu Xingbai thought of a possibility, and then said with some gloating.

Sang Manman, who was standing next to him with a big belly, immediately rolled his eyes at him!
Cao Cheng replied categorically: "This is absolutely impossible. Tie Lei's martial arts skills are mediocre. If you want to kill him, just send Xia Yuanpeng to kill him. Why do so many people come?"

The other party definitely wanted to capture Tie Lei alive, so Cao Cheng was sure that Tie Lei's life was safe now, but he didn't know how long he could last.

……

After leaving Chu Xingbai's house, Cao Cheng told Liu Qi his plan.

He still firmly believed that the mastermind behind this matter was within the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce. Instead of making clueless guesses, he might as well take the initiative to alert the snake.

It happened that the gold and silver treasures in the tunnels of Thunder Villa also needed manpower to deal with, so he decided to contact the branch in Li'an City and take the initiative to expose his whereabouts.

As for Liu Qi, he was waiting for the opportunity in secret.

After Liu Qi pondered for a moment, he agreed to his plan.

Then I couldn't help but wonder if Cao Cheng had already thought in advance that Liu Qi would ask him to exchange all the gold and silver jewelry for silver notes when he took the initiative to give up the disposal rights of all the gold and silver jewelry in the tunnel.

In this way, because of this money, if someone in the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce really has evil intentions against Cao Cheng, he can't just sit back and watch the God of Wealth be killed, right?
Thinking of this possibility, Liu Qi couldn't help but curse in her heart. These old guys who have been standing in the world for many years are indeed not ordinary people. They don't have high martial arts skills to get together!
But fortunately, Liu Qi and Cao Cheng were quite satisfied with their several cooperations, so they didn't care too much about these things.

Back at the house by the dock, Zhou Mi was directing Shen Ying to wash her clothes.

Seeing Liu Qi walking into the courtyard, Zhou Mi looked at her with two bulging eyes, and then his eyes suddenly became a little brighter.

After Liu Qi approached, she heard Zhou Mi ask enthusiastically: "Tell me, what big shot have you killed today?"

Is this person a dog?
Liu Qi frowned slightly, but still told her about killing Qiao Wulang and Xia Yuanpeng today.

Zhou Mi said with some regret when he heard this: "If I had known it was so lively today, I should have let you go!"

As she spoke, she raised her beautiful beautiful eyes to look at Liu Qi, and said with a click of her tongue: "As expected of a descendant of Crazy Sword, he can really cause trouble. People from the Beggar Clan always protect their shortcomings. You are in big trouble!"

Liu Qi curled her lips disdainfully: "If your Majesty is worried, it's still too late to return to the palace!"

"Me? Back to the palace?" Zhou Mi pointed to his nose, and then showed a smile that was afraid of chaos in the world, "Compared to Xiao Lang and Fang Hen back then, you are still considered gentle and elegant."

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly condensed, and then she asked coldly: "Have you seen the two of them before?"

"Ah! Abba, Abba..." Zhou Mi was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be crazy and changed the topic, twisting Yingying's waist to come to Shen Ying, who was waving a mallet and beating clothes.

"Ying'er, use a little more force. The smell of blood on your Sister Liu's clothes is very strong. You won't be able to wash it clean if you don't use force!"

Shen Ying was struggling to swing the mallet that was thicker than her arm. When she heard Zhou Mi's words, she couldn't help but frown, thinking why didn't you come and wash...

After only a few days away from Beijing, Shen Ying finally saw through the evil nature behind Zhou Mi's perfect face. She was either complaining about boredom and wanting to have some fun, or instructing her to do this and that.

Please, please, I am still a delicate and sickly little girl!
Zhou Mi stretched and then walked toward the room with a sleepy look.

Liu Qi looked at her back and couldn't help but shook his head. Although he knew that this empress had a shocking secret, since the other party didn't want to tell her, Liu Qi didn't bother to ask.

She walked slowly to Shen Ying's side.

Shen Ying couldn't help but feel happy when she saw Liu Qi's boots.

In the end, Liu Qi only left one sentence: "Don't listen to her, I never kill people with blood on my body."

After saying that, Liu Qi ignored Shen Ying who looked dull and walked straight towards the room.

Shen Ying was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and angrily swung the mallet and hit her clothes twice.

Cao Cheng, who came back with Liu Qiyi, saw everything in his eyes and laughed in his heart. Then he remembered something and turned around and went out to find a kind-hearted sister-in-law next door. He gave her some loose money and let her in. He took Shen Ying's hand.

……

In the bedroom, Liu Qi closed her eyes tightly and sat cross-legged on the wooden couch. The Yuliu knife originally hanging at her waist was now resting on Liu Qi's legs. As the pale aura on Liu Qi's body loomed, Yuliu The knife also flashed.

On the bed not far away, Zhou Mi was lying comfortably on the bed, his jade arms gently holding up his face, and staring blankly at Liu Qi who was practicing.

"Why?" Seeing the pale murderous intent that flowed out of Liu Qi from time to time, Zhou Mi had some doubts on his face, "She has never been on the battlefield, how could she have such strong murderous intent!"

After a moment, Liu Qi's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, then slowly opened her eyes, and then suddenly looked sideways at Zhou Mi, who was staring at her.

Zhou Mi suddenly opened his mouth slightly, as if he thought of something, then sat up, with a small face, and then said in a serious voice: "I understand, your murderous intention does not come from anger and hatred at all!"

"What do you mean?" Liu Qi asked, raising an eyebrow.

The corner of Zhou Mi's mouth suddenly curled up, and then he gently raised his jade arms to a position parallel to his shoulders, and a "whoosh" sound came from under his wide cuffs.

Liu Qi's face suddenly became solemn, and then he suddenly raised his hand in front of his eyes. He gently brought his index and middle fingers together and sandwiched a delicate arrow cluster between them.

call--

A breeze blew through the room, and Liu Qi's figure was nowhere to be seen on the wooden couch.

The arrow flashing with dazzling cold light was attached to Zhou Mi's slender and white neck like a swan.

Liu Qi was already standing in front of the bed, looking down at Zhou Mi, and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"

"Just giving it a try." The curve of Zhou Mi's mouth gradually widened, he stretched his neck and stared into Liu Qi's cold eyes, and then said softly:
"Xiao Liu Qi, what have you experienced that makes you so indifferent to life."

Liu Qi's eyes tightened upon hearing this.

Then I heard Zhou Mi's voice ringing in my ears: "In your eyes, everything in this world can be cut with one sword?"

Liu Qi did not speak, but silently dropped the arrow cluster in his hand.

If she didn't understand the meaning of Zhou Mi's words just now, now that she finally woke up, no wonder the killing intent in her body gathered so quickly.

Because from beginning to end, Liu Qi never regarded herself as a person who lived in this world.

She is alone outside the world. She only thinks that coming to this world is a game, so she ignores everything...

Indifference to life... is the essence of murderous intent!
