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

Chapter 232 Ferry
The reception hall of Shen Mansion.

Xu Fangfei comforted her eldest aunt Fang who was wiping away her tears. Xu Qinghuai frowned and paced back and forth near the door, looking extremely uneasy.

"I've been holding Fangfu since she was born, and she raised her with great difficulty, but..." Ms. Fang couldn't stop her tears, "They say her mother is heartbroken, but I feel the same way!"

Xu Fangfei felt uncomfortable hearing this, and could only comfort her softly.

The daughters in their house are basically raised by their eldest aunt.

Xu Fangfei's own mother was a young lady from an official family who never touched the sun. She spent her days at home doing nothing but reading books and planting flowers.

The third aunt, Fang Fu's mother, comes from a family of detectives, and she has determined to go to Liumen and become a female detective since she was a child!
If it weren't for an aunt who was good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they wouldn't know what their daughter would look like.

At this moment, he looked outside for a while and saw Xu Qinghuai who had no one returning. He couldn't help turning around and looking at Xu Fangfei and said: "Sister, you'd better tell us about the affairs in the capital, Fang...how did Miss Liu become a member of the Liu family again?" daughter?"

After Liu Qi left, Xu Fangfei told her aunt and Xu Qinghuai about her meeting with Liu Qi in the capital.

Liu Qi said before leaving the lobby that she had met her biological parents, so she was not the Xu Fangfu the Xu family was looking for.

Xu Qinghuai and Fang both thought that the biological parents mentioned by Liu Qi were Liu Zongxun, so they gradually gave up their thoughts.

Xu Fangfei understood instantly, and then helped Fang, who was slightly excited, to sit down.

Liu Qi's last hesitant expression had betrayed everything. If she wasn't or didn't know that she was the Xu family's daughter, she would have sneered at her on the spot, and might even have drawn a sword against her!

Just as he was talking, Master Mu Shi strode in.

Fang asked with red eyes: "Master Mu Shi, is this Miss Liu... my poor niece?"

Master Mu Shi couldn't help but look up at the disciple who was already deep in thought, and then shook his head slightly.

Xu Qinghuai, Xu Fangfei and Fang, who had wiped away their tears, all stood up and looked longingly at Zhenren Mu Shi who had just stepped into the lobby.

……

"Master Mu Shi!"

Xu Fangfei thought at the time that it was because Liu Qi had been living in her hometown all year round and had difficulty integrating into the life of Liu Mansion.

After watching Fang and Xu Fangfei take their seats one after another and their emotions stabilized a little, Mu Shi waved his hand and signaled Xu Qinghuai, who was serving tea, to stop what he was doing.

Now I have a new idea.

Xu Fangfei shook her head: "It's nothing. I've told you everything I know about Liu Qi's stay in Beijing."

But Xu Fangfei's words rekindled their hope.

At this time, Liu Qi had already left Shen's mansion in a carriage.

Judging from this, this Miss Liu actually knew that she was the daughter of the Xu family, but she just refused to recognize her for some unknown reason.

After thinking about it carefully, it was difficult for Xu Fangfei not to doubt whether Liu Qi's life experience was really as she said, the daughter left by Liu Zongxun and his first wife.

Although Qinghuai is his disciple, this is a family matter of the Xu family after all, and it is still difficult for him to open his mouth.

If Liu Qi is really the younger sister Fang Fu.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Xu Fangfei seemed to have thought of something, and continued, "Before the change in the capital, the Hou Mansion and the Liu family discussed marriage. The Marquis planned to let Wei Xian marry Liu Qi."

Seeing this, Xu Qinghuai quickly signaled Xu Fangfei with his eyes.

Although Liu Qiniang's life experience is a bit difficult to tell, her appearance is impeccable, and her personality seems to be gentle and gentle. It should not be difficult for her sisters to get along with her after they get started.

That is, Liu Qi is not Liu Zongxun's daughter at all, she just used Liu Qiniang's identity to sneak into the capital.

Doesn't that mean that...she was also involved in the matter in Beijing?

Seeing Xu Fangfei's actions, Xu Qinghuai asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong?"

This made Master Mu Shi stunned for a moment, and then he waved helplessly: "Let's all sit down first."

"Mrs. Xu, Miss Liu should be your niece!"

From Xu Fangfei's description of Liu Qi's experiences in Beijing, Xu Qinghuai couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only look in the direction of the door with worry and murmured: "I wonder what's going on over there, master?"

After meeting Liu Qi, Xu Fangfei finally found out that the overlord Liu Qi, who had been making a lot of noise in the world recently, and Liu Qiniang, who seemed a bit weak and uneloquent in the Liu family, were the same person!

"master!"

Xu Fangfei's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously covered her heart.

Master Mu Shi nodded solemnly.

Fang's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and his lips trembled slightly: "So, she...she...is Fangfu!"

Although Xu Fangfei also doubted why her father-in-law and mother-in-law would choose such a marriage for Fang Weixian, as the sister-in-law, she actually did not dislike this marriage at the time.

I recalled the obvious feeling of alienation on Liu Qi every time she saw her in Liu Mansion.

However, after changes occurred in Beijing, the marriage fell into disuse.

It's a pity that the husband's letter was silent about what happened in the capital, and Xu Fangfei had no way of knowing what happened in the capital.

Master Mu Shi sighed slightly.

After Xu Qinghuai also bowed and stood still, Master Mu Shi slowly spoke: "The old Taoist has been traveling in the world for decades and has met countless people. Putting aside everything else, these eyes can still see clearly."

Xu Fangfei immediately thought of the changes in Beijing.

On the night when something happened in the capital, her father-in-law asked someone to send her and her sister-in-law out of the capital overnight. Only after that did Xu Fangfei learn that such a big change had happened in the capital.

Even when Shen Congxiao, the head of the Shen family, got the news and rushed over, Liu Qi and his party had already left.

The groom who was responsible for feeding the horses saw that the owner of the house looked worried, so he said tremblingly: "Master, it was Miss Liu who didn't let me tell you."

That Miss Liu did indeed look like the fairy in the painting, but her eyes were like knives. When she stared at him, the groom did not dare to have any other reaction besides nodding.

Shen Congxiao stood there for a long time with a serious look on his face, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked his men to inform Mu Shizhenren.

Just when he turned around to leave, Shen Congxiao suddenly thought of something and asked a servant next to him: "Where is Ying'er now?"

The servant quickly replied: "Miss Ying'er went to the alchemy room early this morning, and she hasn't come out yet!"

Shen Congxiao frowned, but didn't say anything and left with the others.

……

A carriage creaked along the street.

The "coachman"'s face was covered with frost. From time to time, he swung his riding whip hard and hit the horse hard, causing the horse to raise its head and let out a sharp neigh.

After repeating this three or four times, the door curtain behind the "cartman" was opened, and then a cold voice came from inside: "Liu Shijiu, if we break the horse, you can take us to Qingjiang Mansion!"

Hearing Liu Qi's cold voice, Liu Jiujiu, who was acting as the carriage driver, became even more angry and angrily raised the riding whip in his hand high...

But after a while, Liu Jiujiu silently put down his hand, pulled the reins with a look of reluctance, and drove the horse forward.

Suddenly, Liu Shijiu felt someone sticking his head out from behind him.

As soon as she turned her head to see who it was, someone stuffed a square piece of soft stuff into her mouth. Her mouth was instantly filled with fragrance. Liu Jiu couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick it. It tasted sweet. The taste instantly came to my mind!
The dissatisfaction on Liu Shijiu's face was visibly dissipated.

"How about this snack? The shopkeeper pats his chest and says that their store is the best snack shop in Yongquan Mansion!"

Zhou Mi leaned half out of the car door, holding a snack box in one hand, and there was still pink-white foam on the thumb and index finger of the other hand. She looked at the happiness in Liu Shijiu's eyes and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

"Sister Liu Qi, you are so mean when you talk, don't take it to heart."

"Come on, these snacks are still hot, they're all for you!"

Liu Shijiu looked at the snack box stuffed into his arms, recalling the sweetness just now, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart: "Sister Zhou, you'd better go in quickly, it's windy outside, and the eyes of those people are somewhat malicious! "

"Humph!"

Liu Jiu looked around with cold eyes at the passers-by who were looking at the carriage, wrinkled his nose slightly, and let out a cold snort.

But when he turned to look at Zhou Mi, the cold expression on his face disappeared. He also followed the example of the shopkeeper who had just sold snacks, patted his chest and said proudly: "As long as I am outside, sister Zhou, you can rest assured!"

"Xiaojiu is reliable!"

"Then sister, go in first. If you are tired, just call and Sister Zhou will help you."

"No, no need." Liu Jiu pushed Zhou Mi directly into the carriage, then straightened his back and pulled the reins arrogantly, thinking that he had to drive the carriage more steadily to avoid It disturbed Sister Zhou’s rest.

As soon as he returned to the carriage, Zhou Mi leaned on the cushions and stretched lazily!

Inadvertently, he glanced sideways and saw Liu Qizheng staring at her coldly. Zhou Mi couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Why, you are unhappy when you see my sister and I are too good to Xiaojiu?"

You two must be welded to death!

Liu Qi turned away with a look of disgust, and then said calmly: "That's why you treated the general like this back then."

Hearing the sarcasm hidden in Liu Qi's words, Zhou Mi Yingying sat upright and chuckled: "Weiyang is different from you. He has inherited too many things from others. He doesn't need encouragement from others to do his best. Come on!”

"Xiao Liu Qi, do you really not want to recognize your relatives?" Zhou Mi changed the topic.

Liu Qi was silent for a while, then shook her head: "That's not necessary."

Not recognizing it is a good thing for both yourself and the Xu family!

Seeing Liu Qi's firm attitude, Zhou Mi stopped talking.

After successfully leaving the city, the carriage drove all the way northwest. When it was getting dark, it finally arrived at the boundary of Qingjiang Mansion.

Liu Qi and Liu Shijiu sat side by side, holding a yellowed map in her hand.

"We should be in Yancheng County, Qingjiang Prefecture now. If we walk ten miles along this official road, we should be able to see the ferry."

Qingjiang Mansion is divided into two parts by a river named Qingjiang. The map left by Tie Lei shows that the ancient tomb of King Chen is on the north bank of Qingjiang River, close to Qingjiang Mansion City, under a mountain called Niujiao Mountain.

Niujiao Mountain is called Niujiao Mountain because of the two dangerous peaks on the left and right that look like ox horns.

The ancient tomb of King Chen is located in a mountain col between the two horns. It is said that a bloody battle took place there hundreds of years ago, and countless people were buried in the valley. Their ghosts can't rest here and often come out to cause trouble.

The imperial court at that time buried a prince with great military exploits here to suppress tens of thousands of dead souls.

This is the origin of the ancient tomb of King Chen.

But according to what Tie Lei said, King Chen buried him in this deserted place because of his great achievements in life and in order to prevent him from being left in peace after his death.

The so-called shady soldiers causing trouble are all artificial fabrications.

Although the entire ancient tomb of King Chen was very grand, there were no valuable burial objects in it.

In Tie Lei's words, this ancient cemetery palace is a dungeon. The people who built the ancient tomb at that time wanted King Chen to die and be immortal, and he would be trapped in this underground palace even if he became a ghost.

Liu Qi was not interested in this kind of royal dispute that had lasted for hundreds of years.

The only thing she cares about is the Jade Bodhi placed in the coffin of the ancient tomb owner's chamber!

It was a long night and many dreams, so Liu Qi decided to drive all night and rest after arriving at the ferry. He would cross the Qingjiang River early tomorrow morning and walk up the river bank, arriving at Niujiao Mountain at noon!
Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Shijiu was reluctant to continue on her way, but seeing Liu Qi's insistence, she could only pull the reins and continue driving the horse.

Soon night falls.

Liu Qi did not return to the carriage, but continued to accompany Liu Shijiu outside.

Suddenly, a dense fire appeared in front of them. Liu Qi stared and found that the ferry was located.

At this time, only their carriage was still moving forward on the official road.

As the carriage came closer, Liu Qi quickly saw that the lights were torches held by people.

"stop!"

With a sharp shout, three people holding torches came closer.

One of them stopped in front of the carriage, and the other two stood on both sides of the carriage, both holding clearly unsheathed long knives in their hands.

Liu Qi saw that the three of them were all wearing black police uniforms.

The catcher who was blocking the carriage passed the torch in his hand forward. As the firelight illuminated Liu Qi's face, the man's eyes suddenly shrank and he froze on the spot.

Gudong!

After a moment, his Adam's apple rolled, as if he had swallowed a large mouthful of saliva, and then he stepped forward step by step with gleaming eyes: "Little lady, why are you out so late..."

Listening to the man's increasingly lewd tone, Liu Qi quietly let go of Liu Shijiu's hand.

Liu Shijiu, who felt his hands loosened, instantly focused his eyes.

Canglang - Dang!

The fire seemed to flicker.

Liu Shijiu put the sheathed Hanshuo Sword back in its original position, then gently pulled the reins, and the two wheels of the carriage began to rotate.

The detectives on both sides saw the carriage suddenly move and asked in confusion: "Boss, why don't you check the carriage?"

No response.

After the carriage drove away, two policemen with puzzled faces gathered on the road and looked at the carriage driving away. Suddenly one of them seemed to have discovered something.

He lowered the torch in his hand slightly downward.

Suddenly he saw a figure lying quietly on the ground.

"No, it's the boss!"

laugh--

They both heard a slight noise at the same time, and then felt a chill on their necks.

They clutched their necks and held on for the last breath before looking forward, only to see a slender figure with its back to them, slowly walking towards the carriage.

Liu Qi, who was pulling the reins, heard the noise beside him, and then Liu Shijiu sat down and slapped the knife beside him with a "click" sound.

"Is everything solved?" Liu Qi asked calmly, and then threw the reins to Liu Jiujiu.

Liu Shijiu took the reins, his stern little face looked even more gloomy, but he still nodded.

After hearing this, Liu Qi slowly raised her eyes to look at the denser fire not far away, and then said softly: "I hope they don't seek death."
