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

Chapter 200 Chu Xingbai, you are in trouble!
Overlord?

Liu Qi raised her eyebrows slightly.

This name sounded very loud, and she couldn't help but recall a certain hero who had no face to face the elders in his hometown.

However, it was just a name, and Liu Qi didn't take it to heart.

Her expression returned to normal in an instant, she nodded slightly to the old man a few steps away, and then greeted softly: "Master Sun."

Sun Butao's rickety body suddenly stood up straight, looking a little frightened. Then his eyes slowly moved and looked at Zhou Mi who was standing behind Liu Qi.

Although the night was dark at the moment, the light from the lanterns hanging on both sides of the courtyard door was enough for Sun Butao to see Zhou Mi's face clearly.

"Eh!" The moment Sun Butao's eyes touched Zhou Mi's face, his body suddenly trembled and he uttered a sound of surprise.

Could it be that he recognized Zhou Mi?

Liu Qi silently looked back at Zhou Mi beside her, only to see him smiling at her, then quietly taking two steps behind her, avoiding Sun Butao's sight.

Cao Cheng stared at Sun Butao with deep eyes for a long time, then nodded, and asked at the same time: "How did Mr. Sun know this person?"

"Hahaha... Miss Liu is really a cheerful person."

Wine and food have been prepared in the courtyard, and there are a dazzling array of dishes on the table, which shows that Sun Butao has put a lot of thought into it.

The old knife sharpener is still alive!

Zhou Mi shook his head: "I really can't remember, but judging from his behavior at the door just now, he must have seen me."

Sun Butao waved his hand: "After the city gate was closed yesterday, this person wanted to sneak into the city, but was caught by the patrolling government officials in the city. After some torture, he confessed everything."

Cao Cheng drove the carriage slowly towards the dock.

Sun Butao laughed immediately when he heard this, then nodded and said: "I do have two important things here, one is related to President Cao, and the other is related to Miss Liu."

Liu Qi's martial arts skills at such a young age were simply astonishing. Cao Cheng had always had deep doubts in his heart. Now that he heard that the Mad Sword was inherited in Liu Qi's hands, he suddenly realized it!
Although Liu Qi's expression remained calm as usual, the killing intent in his eyes was fleeting.

……

Sun Butao turned to look at Cao Cheng and said with a smile: "I heard that after President Cao left the capital, he rushed to Li'an day and night. Was he safe along the way?"

"Master Sun, since you invited us here late at night, there is no need to show off." Cao Cheng wiped away the smile on his face and replied solemnly.

Then he found an excuse to get a drink and kicked Sun Mingchao out. At this time, only Liu Qi and his party were left on the table, plus Sun Butao.

Cao Cheng and Sun Butao already knew each other. After sitting down, they exchanged glasses for two rounds, and their relationship instantly became familiar.

Liu Qi concentrated on holding the dishes, nodding or shaking his head slightly from time to time to cope with Sun Butao's conversation and toast.

"I wonder if President Cao still remembers a person named 'Wu Jiang'?"

At this moment, Liu Qi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Master Sun, these two are my people. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"But one thing is that the food that the imperial court entrusts you to transport must be delivered on time and on time!"

"But... President Cao." Sun Butao's tone suddenly became serious, "No matter how much trouble there is within your Water Transport Chamber of Commerce, that's your business and I have nothing to do with it."

At this time, he saw that Sun Butao was a little embarrassed, and thought that his father was just like him.

And he dared to jump out and cause trouble. He was really like an old man who hanged himself because he thought his life was too long.

After another toast was raised and Liu Qi shook his head and declined, a look of embarrassment flashed across Sun Butao's face. Then he put down his glass and raised his hand to signal the maids standing around him to step back.

"Hahaha... Miss Liu, President Cao, please!"

"Hehehe..." Sun Butao shook his head and chuckled, "President Cao, there is no need to panic. I only found out about you being attacked outside Li'an City today."

After that, Sun Butao took a deep look at Cao Cheng and saw that his face was as dark as water and he said nothing, so he continued and said slowly: "President Cao, don't betray the trust the court has placed in you."

"Then let me tell you straight. The old sword-sharpening old man who was chased all the way to Shu by Feiyu Villa has now reappeared in the world and spread the news that the mad sword is passed down to you, Miss Liu!"

"I wonder if Miss Liu has ever heard of the Black Hell Gate?"

Sun Butao woke up instantly after hearing a low cough, then laughed to cover up the embarrassment on his face, and invited Liu Qi and his entourage into the other courtyard.

Sun Mingchao noticed something strange about his father, and looked at Zhou Mi who was huddled behind Liu Qi with a strange look, then "cough" twice, and called softly: "Father, it's time to invite Miss Liu and the others to take a seat."

After hearing this, Zhou Mi also put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, staring at Sun Butao with his clear eyes, looking thoughtful.

Sun Butao glanced at Zhou Mi and Shen Ying, who were engrossed in eating, with a look of hesitation on their faces.

Cao Cheng's face suddenly darkened, and then he said coldly: "Master Sun, what do you mean?"

Just when Zhou Mi got off the carriage at the entrance of the mansion, Sun Mingchao had already seen her beauty, and he was also stunned for a long time.

As soon as these words came out, even Cao Cheng, who fell into silence, couldn't help but look sideways at Liu Qi.

"A hundred years ago, I competed with Emperor Taizu for the crazy sword in the world!" Cao Cheng's eyes flashed for a while, and then he murmured to himself, "No wonder, no wonder!"

Liu Qi suddenly asked in the carriage: "Have you ever seen Sun Butao before?"

Liu Qi's hand holding the vegetables suddenly paused, and then he raised his eyes to look at Sun Butao, and then said in a deep voice: "Master Sun, there is no need to beat around the bush."

Seeing that Cao Cheng was deep in thought, Sun Butao turned to look at Liu Qi, and then smiled slightly: "Miss Liu, your affairs are a bit troublesome."

"What, do you think there's something wrong with this person?" Zhou Mi's eyes flashed and he asked immediately.

It was already late when I came out of Sun Butao's mansion.

After saying that, Sun Butao paused, and then continued: "If President Cao wants this person, just send someone to the government prison tomorrow to take him away."

Liu Qi shook her head silently, then closed her eyes and took a nap.

Seeing that Liu Qi was as indifferent as ever, Zhou Mi couldn't help but puff up his cheeks, snorted angrily, and then said seriously to Shen Ying beside him: "Don't ever imitate your sister Liu, and don't say you can't marry in the future. If you go out, you won’t even have any friends!”

After that, Zhou Mi felt even more angry when he saw that Liu Qi still had no reaction, so he stretched out his boots and lightly kicked Liu Qi's feet.

Liu Qi had always treated Zhou Mi's little moves as if they were nothing. As long as she didn't respond, she would stop after a while.

If he really competes with her, this woman will only cause more trouble!

Returning to the house at the dock, Zhou Mi impatiently led Shen Ying into the house to wash up first.

Liu Qi deliberately waited at the gate for a while, until Cao Cheng came over after setting up the carriage, and the two of them walked to the yard together. On the way, Liu Qi said softly: "How trustworthy do you think this Sun Butao is?"

Cao Cheng pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and replied: "This person has always had a moderate reputation in the officialdom. He is known as a good old man who will not offend anyone. Although his official career is a bit bumpy, it can be considered smooth sailing." I invite you and me to the banquet this time. I guess it’s because Li Ancheng is so brave. It involves the supply of food and grass in central Beijing and even northern Xinjiang. If there is any mistake, let alone his black gauze hat, I am afraid that the whole family will be affected. No one can escape death!"

Liu Qi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "You and I have also met Chu Xingbai. Does he really seem to be bribed by the northern Tatars to plot evil against the grain and grass?"

Cao Cheng fell into silence upon hearing this.

Today, Sun Butao invited them for one thing only, and that was to ensure that food and grass were safely transported out of Li'an City.

Yesterday afternoon, the reason why Sun Butao closed the city gate in advance to exclude thousands of people was because he learned the news that Chu Xingbai had been bribed by the northern Tatars and was preparing to take action on the grain and grass shipped to the capital. Disturbing the morale of Daqi troops stationed in northern Xinjiang.

As soon as Liu Qi walked into the courtyard, he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the roof, and then said in a somewhat impatient tone: "Come out!"

Before the words were spoken, a figure was seen floating over. Before he could stand still, he hurriedly said: "Where is my money, the agreed 20%, please don't even steal the money I spent to raise my children!"

The person coming is none other than Chu Xingbai!
After hearing what he said, Liu Qi and Cao Cheng couldn't help but look at each other.

Looks like someone who could be bought off.

It's just that with his IQ... he probably can't think of burning food and grass.

"Chu Xingbai!" Liu Qi thought about it and immediately said, "You are in trouble!"

……

inside the room.

Chu Xingbai stood up with a snap.

"I fucked the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, who is throwing dirty water on me!" Chu Xingbai opened his mouth and cursed loudly, spittle flying from his mouth in excitement.

Liu Qi sidestepped with a look of disgust, and then said coldly: "You are a famous thief in the world, and there are piles of case files related to you!"

Cao Cheng also echoed with emotion: "Chu Xingbai, you are really a cruel person!"

"Fart!" Chu Xingbai became even more furious, "I have been in Sangjiabao for more than ten years and have never even set foot in the Central Plains. This must be deliberately framed by someone!"

Cao Cheng couldn't help but wonder when he heard this: "Have you really not set foot in the Central Plains martial arts world for more than ten years?"

Chu Xingbai rolled his eyes: "I really want to go back to the Central Plains. Every time before I leave the gate of Sangjiabao, I get picked up by Manman..."

Chu Xingbai suddenly came to his senses mid-sentence, and then quickly changed the subject: "Anyway, I couldn't have done those cases. Someone must want to smear my name!"

"It's him, it must be him!" Chu Xingbai suddenly jumped up as if he was electrocuted, "I know who wants to harm me!"

"Who?" Cao Cheng asked.

"Um... I don't know his name either." Chu Xingbai scratched his head a little, "But this is the man who beat me seriously twelve years ago and chased me all the way to southern Xinjiang. In the end, I was killed Only by diving into the Lanjiang River did I save my life."

Recalling his experience of escaping from death more than ten years ago, Chu Xingbai couldn't help but sigh: "Later, I was rescued by Manman's tribe. I had not left Sangjiabao for more than ten years until a few days ago. , someone dug up Manman’s ancestral grave and injured Manman’s father, so I set foot in the Central Plains again.”

As Chu Xingbai spoke, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Liu Qi with resentment, and then continued: "Who knew that the world has changed so much now, and that any girl I meet can be so powerful!"

Liu Qi glanced at him coldly, and Chu Xingbai immediately shrank his head, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing more.

"It seems that the water in Li'an Mansion is not shallow!" Cao Cheng sighed deeply.

In return for handing over Wujiang, Cao Cheng agreed to Sun Butao and secretly transferred a group of people from Beijing to assist Sun Butao in transporting the grain and grass from Li'an City as soon as possible.

Nowadays, the only person with this ability is Cao Cheng, who is in charge of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce.

As for Liu Qi, Sun Butao first told her that the name of Overlord had begun to spread in the world, and then told her about the inheritance of the crazy sword, which was introduced to the world through the mouth of the old man who sharpened the sword.

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

Whether it is the name of "Overlord" or the inheritance of the Crazy Blade, it will cause endless troubles.

Sun Butao told her this just because he wanted Liu Qi to leave Li'an Mansion as soon as possible.

How could it be possible to just leave like this!

He had just killed Qiao Wulang and offended the Beggar Clan, but he didn't even see the shadow of Jade Bodhi. If he left now, his work would be in vain.

Leaving is impossible for the time being.

However, Sun Butao has agreed to help them find Tie Lei's whereabouts.

"If I can't find that person, how can I possibly find him with all the government officials' help?" Chu Xingbai sneered at Liu Qi and the others' seeking help from the government.

"Just wait and see, as long as that person is still in Li'an City within three days, I will dig him out!" After Chu Xingbai boasted about Haikou with a proud look on his face, he used Qinggong to "swoosh" and ducked out. .

"Although Chu Xingbai's behavior is quite unconventional, he shouldn't do anything treasonous. I think someone is probably using his name to act." Cao Cheng glanced at the direction Chu Xingbai disappeared, then turned back and smiled. said.

Liu Qi pondered thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "There are very few people who have reached the top of the world by specializing in Qinggong. If he really wanted to betray his country and collaborate with the enemy, how could he use such agility?" Here comes the mind method of Rufeng Qinggong!”

Liu Qi's view was the same as that of Cao Cheng, but it was not because of Chu Xingbai's character, but because he came to this conclusion through his martial arts.

He just remembered Zhou Mi's words. Martial arts and people are mutually beneficial. People with a deep mind cannot practice agile and elegant light skills, just as a kind-hearted person cannot control a mad sword.

So, what kind of person is Xiao Qifeng, who has mastered the Canghai Divine Skill?
With such doubts in mind, Liu Qi spent another night relying on meditation.

The next morning, it started to rain again.

Liu Qi heard the movement outside the door, and immediately stood up and opened the door, and saw Cao Cheng wearing a raincoat and about to go out.

Seeing Liu Qi with the door open, Cao Cheng immediately nodded and said, "I have asked the neighbor's aunt, and she will come to take care of your three meals a day, girl."

Liu Qi nodded slightly. After hesitating for a moment, he said softly: "Be careful on the road."

When Cao Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Liu Qi with disbelief. However, his expression soon calmed down, and then he smiled and said: "Thanks to the girl's concern, Cao will go to the branch to have a look. I'll see you later." "Back."

After Cao Cheng left, Liu Qi heard subtle footsteps behind him.

Then I heard someone laughing softly: "Xiao Liu Qi seems a little different today."

Liu Qi didn't look back, she just walked out of the room silently, stood under the eaves, and then slowly stretched out her flawless hand, letting the cold raindrops fall on her arm.

"Your Majesty is right." Liu Qi lowered her eyes and looked at the water droplets splashing on her arms, and said solemnly, "The person I am fighting with is a human being, not a martial artist."

"If I don't put myself into the world and fight with Xiao Qifeng, I will definitely lose!"
