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

Chapter 201 Be a human being first
"Oh!"

After hearing what Liu Qi said, Zhou Mi let out a soft sigh, then walked out of the room, stood side by side with Liu Qi, looked at the patter of rain outside, then looked up at the gloomy sky, and finally said softly: "This weather... …It’s really annoying.”

Liu Qi nodded gently in agreement: "What I said makes sense, the rain is indeed... annoying!"

When she was at Xiliu Villa in the past, what Liu Qi hated most was the rain.

Hearing the impatience in Liu Qi's tone, Zhou Mi couldn't help but glance at Liu Qi sideways, and then laughed and said: "Not bad, I finally have a bit of a human touch."

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes lightly glanced at the Jingji Knife on Liu Qi's waist, she tilted her head slightly and smiled: "What are your plans next? It's clear that this situation in Li Ancheng is for Cao Cheng, you Do you really plan to keep getting involved? "

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, but he still looked straight ahead: "The queen has noticed it too."

Zhou Mi raised his head slightly, stretched his arms upwards, and stretched his waist gracefully like a cat. Then he said with a smile: "The peace and tranquility of Daqi for more than twenty years can only be maintained by Wei Yang. Now that he is gone, it is only a matter of time before the boiling water in the world overflows."

"Although Cao Cheng has some wisdom, compared to the huge family fortune of the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce, this wisdom is obviously far from enough. It is only a matter of time before others take notice of him, but... the changes in the palace have just passed not long ago. "Who is so well-informed that he took up the idea of ​​the Water Transport Chamber of Commerce so quickly?"

The Water Transport Chamber of Commerce is in charge of more than 80% of Daqi's water transport. Its importance is self-evident. It can be said that controlling water transport is almost equivalent to strangulating Daqi's throat.

Liu Qiyao thought about the first time he faced an enemy with a knife at Xiliu Villa, and besides being slightly excited, there was no other emotion in his heart.

After breakfast, Liu Qi rarely went into meditation, but instead examined Shen Ying's martial arts skills.

But Liu Qi is an exception. She is the only one among them all who has mastered both sword skills.

Liu Qi glanced at Zhou Mi deeply, and then mused: "Whoever is behind the idea of ​​the water transport merchant has nothing to do with me. As long as we get the Jade Bodhi, we will leave here today."

Zhou Mi tilted his head and looked over: "Do you think Cao Cheng's missing subordinate really has the Jade Bodhi in his hand?"

While the two were chatting, there was a loud noise in the room, and it was Shen Ying who woke up.

"Come on." Seeing that Shen Ying was not ready to take action, Liu Qi immediately urged in a calm tone.

Therefore, what Liu Qi mainly inspected this time was her sword skills.

Shen Ying gritted her teeth after hearing this, her hand holding the handle of the knife a little tighter, and then she used her sword skills to attack Liu Qi step by step.

……

Liu Qi saw the timidity in Shen Ying's eyes and shook her head in disappointment.

Liu Qi immediately changed the topic: "I'm going to the kitchen to take a look."

The moment Shen Ying caught the Yuliu Knife, she felt the warm and cool air coming from the knife. She hesitated for a moment, but still followed Liu Qi's instructions, holding the handle of the knife tightly, and looked at it timidly. Liu Qi.

With the sharp blade in hand, the murderous intention should have arisen, how can you be timid!

If you are timid before fighting, you will already lose.

Liu Qi was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I'm not 100% sure, but... Cao Cheng was able to leave everything behind and risk his own life to come to Li'an City. I think he is certain."

Whoosh!
Hearing the sound of the sword wind in his ears, Liu Qi calmed down slightly, then turned to one side to avoid Shen Ying's direct stabbing knife, and then took another step back to avoid the sharp blade that suddenly turned vertically...

Liu Qi originally passed on both the Ancient Willow Heart Technique and the Fufeng Sword Technique to Shen Ying. Now she has introduced Qi into her body and completed the first step of practice, but there is still a certain gap before she can master the first level of the Ancient Willow Heart Technique.

The Fufeng Sword Technique passed down to her by Liu Qi is the same as the ancient Liu Xin Technique, and both belong to the martial arts of Xiliu Villa. The Fufeng sword technique is agile and elegant, and the moves are brisk but not cumbersome. It is very suitable for the practice of women who lack strength but are more flexible.

I still remember that when we were at Xiliu Villa, men like Liu Er followed Commander Chen to practice Hengshan Sword Technique, while women like Liu Qi learned Fufeng Sword Technique.

Liu Qi took off the Yuliu knife from his waist, threw it directly to Shen Ying, and then said to her: "Just use this knife to attack me."

After three or five moves, Shen Ying's face was already stained with sweat, but the Yu Liu Dao in her hand did not even touch the corner of Liu Qi's clothes.

And Liu Qi also came to his own conclusion.

Shen Ying may not be suitable for practicing swordsmanship, or Fufeng swordsmanship is not suitable for her.

So Liu Qi shook his head gently, ending this duel with great disparity in strength in advance, and then after receiving the Yuliu Dao handed over by Shen Ying, he said in a deep voice:
"Be more diligent in the future. It is best to practice the sword technique three times a day. Even if you fail in your internal skills in the future, this sword technique will be more than enough to deal with ordinary little robbers."

Shen Ying nodded hurriedly: "I know."

She also felt that her performance just now was a little bad. The knife skills that she practiced so smoothly on weekdays became jerky when it came to taking action.

Liu Qi saw the loneliness on Shen Ying's face and knew that she needed to be alone to live quietly, so she pulled Zhou Mi out of the room who was watching the excitement.

"You may be a good swordsman, but you are definitely not a good teacher!" As soon as he walked out of the room, Zhou Mi lowered his voice and breathed Rulan into Liu Qi's ear.

Feeling the warm breath next to her ears, Liu Qi couldn't help but move her body to get a little distance away from Zhou Mi, then rolled her eyes sideways and said coldly: "How can a real swordsman be timid before fighting? If Because I am afraid of an opponent who is too strong, I should not stand in front of you that night in the palace. "

"That's true." Zhou Mi nodded with a smile, "But there are only a few people in this world who can be fearless. If you go by what you said, there won't be many people in the world who are qualified to use a sword."

"Liu Qi, if you want to join the world, you must first be a human being!"

"Don't forget, fear is also a human emotion."

Listening to Zhou Mi's words, Liu Qi pursed her lips and fell into silence. She naturally knew in her heart that Zhou Mi was right, but the character she had developed over the years could not be changed overnight.

call--

Liu Qi couldn't help but let out a breath and looked helplessly at the dark clouds in the sky. She never thought that the character she had always been proud of would one day become a fetter in her pursuit of the top of martial arts.

……

It's still raining.

Around Shen Shi, the sky outside was already dark and hazy, and Cao Cheng just returned in a hurry, wearing a raincoat.

Cao Cheng walked in and said before he had time to take off his wet raincoat: "Yang Xiaofei's boat has docked, and his wife Fang Miaojin is also on the boat. Lao Chang's men took the opportunity to take a look at it, but they didn't find it. What's strange."

"But..." Cao Cheng threw the dripping raincoat outside the door and looked at Liu Qi with a look of confusion, "Old Chang said that there seem to be a lot of beggars in the city today. I I think it's probably because of you, girl." Liu Qiduan sat in front of the table with the Jingji Knife on the table. After hearing this, she gently rubbed the handle of the knife, and then said lightly: "If you are not afraid of death. Yes, just come.”

Qiao Wulang is the leader of the younger generation of the Beggar Clan. If he dies in his own hands, the Beggar Clan will definitely not let it go!
However, Liu Qi now has plenty of debts and no worries, and it doesn't matter if there is one more beggar gang.

Cao Cheng had long expected that Liu Qi's attitude would be so cold. He couldn't help but shook his head, and then mused: "The Beggar Clan doesn't have any strong hands near Li'an City. Qiao Wulang died in your hands, girl. In a short time No one should dare to seek death."

"But when the news of Qiao Wulang's death reaches Junshan Island..." Cao Cheng looked at Liu Qi with some worry.

The current leader of the Beggar Clan is one of the famous "Seven Stars", Gu Lianyun, known as the "Nine Appearance Dragon".

"So, the current leader of the Xiaoyao lineage of the Beggar Clan is Gu Lianyun?" Zhou Mi, who was sitting next to Liu Qi, suddenly asked.

Cao Cheng laughed when he heard this: "This girl knows a lot about things in the world!"

"Yes, the current leader of the Xiaoyao lineage of the Beggar Clan is Gu Lianyun."

"The helmsman of the Xia Xing lineage is also famous. He is one of the 'Five Righteousnesses' today. Xiu Shaoyang is known as 'Yi Bo Yuntian' in the world. He is now also the owner of the Jiangnan Xiake Building."

When the Beggar Clan was first established, it was a group of beggars who gathered together to keep warm. Later, after introducing martial arts, they gradually became a major force in the world based on their numbers.

After the Beggar Clan grew in strength, internal differences also emerged. One group of people still adhered to the happy philosophy of drinking in the past and getting drunk in the present, and did not want to get too involved in the disputes in the world or the court.

The other group believes that since you have the ability, you should act chivalrously, punish evil and promote good, so that your visit to this world will not be in vain.

Over time, the two factions gradually differentiated and opposed each other, forming the two major factions within the Beggar Clan today, Xiaoyao and Xiaxing.

The Xiaoyao lineage is based in Junshan General Helm, and has rarely been involved in political affairs. They spend their days eating meat and drinking on the island, really enjoying themselves.

The Xia Xing lineage is based in Jiangnan Xiake Tower. Whenever there is injustice in the world, the Beggar Gang disciples of the Xia Xing lineage will come to seek justice.

Originally, in the arena, the Xiaxing lineage had always been suppressing the Xiaoyao lineage.

However, after the military order was broken, the Xia Xing lineage was heavily involved with many forces in the world, so it was treated seriously by the court. Even the Xia Ke Tower in Jiangnan was closed down for a time, forcing the Beggar Gang disciples of the Xia Xing lineage to have no choice but to He avoided the general rudder of Junshan.

In the end, General Zhou Weiyang personally came to Junshan Island, and the Beggar Gang was able to save itself at the cost of disbanding most of the Northern Branch, including the Capital Branch.

And because Gu Lianyun signed this contract with the general, he was regarded as the hero who saved the Beggar Clan, and the Xiaoyao lineage in turn suppressed the Xiaxing lineage.

So Qiao Wulang is the helmsman of Junshan Branch. Does that mean he belongs to the Xiaoyao lineage?

Liu Qi raised her eyes and looked at Cao Cheng.

Cao Cheng saw the confusion in Liu Qi's eyes, and immediately shook his head and said: "Strange to say, although Qiao Wulang is the helmsman of the Junshan branch, he is not a disciple of the Xiaoyao lineage. His master is the eighth member of the Beggar Gang. Elder Bao Yue is crazy, he is Xiu Shaoyang’s right-hand man and a powerful figure in the Xiaxing lineage.”

Zhou Mi heard this and laughed softly: "As expected of the Beggar Clan, the information is so well-informed. I think Qiao Wulang went north overnight, probably to enter the capital and rebuild the capital branch that was removed that year."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cheng suddenly realized: "This makes sense!"

Before the breaking of the military order, the capital branch was originally the territory of the Xia Xing lineage.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Cao Cheng asked Liu Qi solemnly, "Miss Liu, I wonder if you have offended anyone at Feiyu Villa recently?"

Liu Qi's eyes flashed brightly when he heard this: "Why, someone from Feiyu Villa also showed up in Li'an City?"

Cao Cheng shook his head: "That's not true, but I asked the elder today about the rumors about you in the world, miss. I found that the first person who spread your name as 'Overlord' was from Feiyu Villa. people."

Seeing Liu Qi's expression as usual, Cao Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice: "Lin Yangui really died in your hands, girl."

Liu Qi nodded silently, and then said coldly: "Why, President Cao is afraid?"

There was a trace of bitterness on the corner of Cao Cheng's mouth, and then he shook his head: "If you say you are not afraid, I'm afraid even Cao himself won't believe it."

At the same time, he offended two martial arts giants, the Beggar Clan and Feiyu Villa. Cao Cheng didn't know how much courage the woman in front of him had to endure before she dared to do such a thing.

Liu Qi said in a calm tone: "President Cao, don't worry. The cooperation between you and me is purely for profit and has no friendship. If Feiyu Villa and the Beggar Clan come to visit, you can make a clean break with Liu Qi and part ways. "

Although her tone was cold, she had no intention of provoking Cao Cheng.

Even if Cao Cheng made such a move, she would not blame him.

Cao Cheng fell into silence upon hearing this.

Liu Qi glanced at him faintly, then raised her eyes to look outside the room, and said coldly: "It's cold outside, so let's come in and talk."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room looked towards the door and saw a figure gradually taking shape, finally revealing Chu Xingbai's playful and smiling face.

"Everyone, I came at the wrong time." Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, Chu Xingbai said with a smile, and at the same time he walked to the table unceremoniously and sat down.

He first glanced at Liu Qi, muttered a few words and then moved his gaze away. He stayed on Zhou Mi's face for a moment, and finally slowly moved to Shen Ying's face.

"Little girl Pianzi, go and give you a cup of tea for Uncle Chu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several adults in the room, including Cao Cheng who was still standing, looked at Chu Xingbai with disdain.

Chu Xingbai couldn't help but shrink his head, thinking about his grandma. The fierce woman named Liu couldn't afford to offend her, while the one who looked like a fairy was hard to offend at first sight. In the end, this girl was the only one who was easier to talk to.

Besides, wouldn't she be wronged by pouring a cup of tea for Uncle Chu?

However, facing everyone's contemptuous gazes, especially Liu Qi's cold gaze with contempt, Chu Xingbai suddenly felt his heart tremble, and then silently reached out to pick up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea.

"Okay, Uncle Chu, let's stop talking nonsense with you!" Chu Xingbai drank the cold tea in the cup in one gulp, and then slapped the cup on the table with a "pop".

"I found the tomb robber!"
