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

Chapter 281: Set Sail, Ghost Servant Arrives

"Did you find anything?" Xu Yongding asked when he saw Liu Qi's face getting darker.

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed instantly, and then he shook his head: "No."

Xu Yongding had been a county lieutenant for so many years that it was impossible for him not to smell the odor of a rotting corpse on the leaf. However, there was very little that could be seen from just this one leaf!

Moreover, Chu Xingbai had already taken him to search the area within dozens of miles, but there was still no clue!
If Xu Qingjiang and his family were really captured by the evildoers, then they seem to have no better solution than to wait for the other party to come to them and propose conditions!

When the Xu family members learned about this, they fell into silence instantly, especially Xu Yongyuan, Xu Qingjiang's father, who looked as pale as death.

After a long while, Xu Yongyuan stood up and said in a trembling voice, "For the time being, let's stop here with Qingjiang. All other plans remain unchanged. We should set off on time at noon to go south with Fangfu. Those who stay in Qingjiang Prefecture should also be more careful!"

"Brother!" Xu Yongding couldn't bear it and glanced at his little daughter!
Liu Qi could feel the pleading in Xu Yongding's eyes, but after hesitating for a moment, she still didn't speak.

The meaning was very clear. She didn't intend to take the initiative to take care of Xu Qingjiang's affairs.

Liu Qi even suspected that when Xu Qingjiang got into trouble at this time, maybe someone didn't want to see her fighting with Jiang Jiyu, so they came up with the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

If this is true, Xu Qingjiang's family will most likely not be in any danger of life.

But living punishment... is probably unavoidable!
Xu Yongyuan didn't wait for Liu Qi to speak for a long time, and he knew that there was no room for maneuver. He swayed slightly, and then said in a hoarse voice: "That's it, Fang Fu will leave after dinner."

"Fang Fu, why are you unwilling to take action?"

"Little sister, the reason why my second brother is missing is probably because of you. If you are willing to help, maybe my second brother and his family still have a chance to survive!"

After coming out of the study, Xu Yongding and Xu Qinghuai, father and son, caught up with Liu Qi from the left and right, and tried to persuade him earnestly.

Liu Qi paused, and then replied in a deep voice: "Even if I am willing to help, where can I find my second brother's family?"

It is true that she is a top master, but that does not mean she is omnipotent and omniscient. The other party is obviously well prepared. If they do not show up on their own initiative, can Liu Qi still go to the land god to find out the hiding places of these evil spirits?

Xu Qinghuai still wanted to clarify: "But..."

Liu Qi interrupted bluntly, "If I take action first, regardless of whether I can rescue my second brother or not, once people with ulterior motives know that I care so much about my family, I'm afraid the Xu family will never have peace in their lives!"

Having said this, Liu Qi walked away, leaving the father and son looking at each other in bewilderment.

Liu Qi sees it very clearly. When others think that you are inhumane and heartless, then you'd better really be like that!

The more indifferent she is to Xu Qingjiang's disappearance, the safer the rest of the Xu family will be!
Even if someone has some ideas about the Xu family, after knowing Liu Qi's attitude, they should think carefully about whether it would be more trouble than gain to attack the Xu family!
The news of Xu Qingjiang's disappearance was naturally kept secret for the time being, and Aunt Fang happily had a meal with the family.

After lunch, Liu Qi's father Xu Yongding went to the dock first with his luggage.

After everything was ready, Liu Qi and his party set off and headed straight for the pier.

In addition to Liu Qi, Zhou Mi, Liu Shijiu, and Liu Qi's parents, the people who went south this time also included his great uncle Xu Yongyuan who was preparing to take up his post in the South Yamen of Liushenmen.

At the dock, all the Xu family members who stayed in Qingjiang Prefecture came to see them off.

There is also the prefect Feng Qun, and... the new garrison commander Fang Weixian.

Fang Weixian did not stand with Feng Qun, but came to the Xu family. After Liu Qi and Xu Fangfei said goodbye, he took the initiative to come forward and clasped his fists and said, "Miss Xu, have a safe journey!"

Liu Qi didn't even bother to look at him, and walked straight past him. He stopped only when he reached Feng Qun.

Feng Qun glanced at Fang Weixian who was standing tall, then bowed to Liu Qi and said with a smile: "Miss Liu, I would like to wish you a successful start and fame in advance!"

Liu Qi still turned sideways to face him, and said softly: "Thank you for your good words. When Liu Qi goes to Shaoshi Mountain in person, I wonder if Master Feng can take me to see the scenery of Buddhism."

Feng Qun's eyes were as bright as torches, and he immediately said respectfully: "Mr. Feng... is very pleased!"

Watching Liu Qi board the boat, Xu Fangfei glanced at her uncle's expressionless face and couldn't help but chuckle, "Everyone has left, so don't be so tense!"

Fang Weixian's upright figure relaxed a little, and he asked in a low voice, "I heard that Lord Feng just called her Miss Liu."

Xu Fangfei was silent for a moment as if thinking about something. Then she said seriously, "My younger sister has been Liu Qi for more than ten years, and all her current fame is earned by Liu Qi step by step. I think when she goes out, she should like to hear others call her Liu Qi more."

Fang Weixian fell silent after hearing this.

Xu Fangfei turned her head and smiled at Fang Weixian: "As long as she thinks we are family, it doesn't matter what her last name is!"

"That's right!" Xu Fangfei seemed to have thought of something, "Ruolan is studying at Sihai Academy, and Fangfu might have a chance to run into each other when she goes south this time!"

Thinking of how they had gotten along in the capital, Xu Fangfei couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder what Ruolan's expression would be when she knew that the gentle and pitiful eldest sister of the Liu family in her heart had suddenly transformed into the tyrant Liu Qi that everyone in the martial arts world fears today?"

When Fang Weixian heard Xu Fangfei's words, his face trembled slightly, and so did he!
Although Fang Weixian knew that there was no possibility between them after learning about Liu Qi's true identity, his heart began to beat uncontrollably when he thought of the marriage that was arranged by mistake in Beijing that year, and Liu Qi's face was all in his mind...

As a person who had experienced this, Xu Fangfei saw all the changes in Fang Weixian's face, and then she sighed inwardly!
But she couldn't blame anyone.

I can only say that my little sister is so beautiful that even as a woman myself, I feel pity for her and my heart trembles.

What’s more, he is my younger sister’s brother-in-law who almost got married to me!
Maybe... this is what it means to be wrong at first sight!
Xu Fangfei thought that she should try to persuade him after some time.

Although Weixian is a good man, firstly, my sister doesn't seem to be interested in getting married. Secondly, even if she wants to get married, I guess she will only fall in love with people from the underworld.

I can't really let my brother-in-law continue to indulge in this.

If my parents-in-law knew about this, even if they have always been nice to their daughter-in-law, they would probably still feel resentful!

……

At the bow, Liu Qi looked far ahead, and the two banks kept moving backwards.

Zhou Mi walked up to him without him noticing, and said with a soft smile, "I think the second boy from the Fang family seems to be interested in you. What do you think? If you like him, I still have the Queen Mother's Wind Seal!"

Liu Qi looked ahead and replied calmly, "If your Majesty wants to see the Fang family in mourning, you may try."

"Forget it, forget it." Zhou Mi was speechless for a moment after hearing this. "But the two sons of the Fang family are indeed well-educated. It is said that Fang Weining is quite trusted by Xiao Qifeng. I guess he will be a potential elder in the future!"

"Lord?" Liu Qi said disdainfully, "How many blows can you take from me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, there are only a few people in this world who can take a blow from you, the great Overlord Liu!" Zhou Mi said sarcastically, "But don't forget, you are still a human being, not a cold and ruthless knife!"

Liu Qi glanced at Zhou Mi, and then said calmly: "Don't you think that if everyone is like me, the world may become a better place?"

After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Mi to respond, Liu Qi turned and walked towards the cabin.

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Zhou Mi watched Liu Qi leave, quickly gave up thinking, and asked loudly.

"Meditate and practice." Liu Qi said succinctly! Zhou Mi curled his lips helplessly: "How boring, this face is wasted!"

Seeing Liu Qi disappear from his sight, Zhou Mi looked around with some boredom until he saw Gongsun Yan, who was dressed as a maid, walking out of the cabin with a basin of water. He instantly smiled, and called softly, "Sister Gongsun," and went to greet her.

……

late at night.

Liu Qi, who was meditating with his eyes closed in the cabin, suddenly opened his eyes.

Whoosh!
When she flashed onto the deck, she suddenly felt something and looked back at the mast.

There was a figure standing on the top of the mast. As if sensing Liu Qi's surveillance, the man on the mast said loudly, "It seems that my Master Chu is one step faster than you!"

Liu Qi was too lazy to waste words with Chu Xingbai, so he turned around and looked ahead. In the vast night fog, there seemed to be a figure moving.

"The Yin people are on their way!"

"Yin people are on the road, strangers should stay away!"

A spooky voice instantly reached my ears.

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly.

This scene seems familiar!

"Yin people are on the road, strangers should stay away!"

The sinister voice became clearer and clearer, and then four white shadows appeared in Liu Qi's sight. They floated in like ghosts and landed on the bow in the blink of an eye!

boom!
The object that the four people were carrying fell to the ground with a sound. Liu Qi and Chu Xingbai looked in the direction of the sound, and with the faint moonlight, they could see clearly that what the four white figures were carrying was actually a coffin!
Now, Liu Qi finally remembered it completely!
The situation when she and Liu Er met Liu San at the charity cemetery outside Beijing was exactly the same as today!
At this moment, a white figure slid forward as if floating, and when he raised his head, he revealed a face with red lips, white teeth, and a ghostly look like a paper man.

Her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a cold and harsh voice: "Who is Liu Qi!"

Liu Qi took a step forward expressionlessly, then stomped his foot lightly, and an invisible air wave that was imperceptible to the naked eye spread towards the "paper man".

The "paper man" seemed to realize something was wrong and was about to step back when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound and immediately lowered his head.

The blade light reflecting the moonlight had already emerged from under his feet and was heading straight towards him.

"what--"

After a shrill scream, the "paper man" was thrown into the air like a feather, and then smashed towards the coffin!

"The Yin people are on their way!"

At this moment, beside the coffin, the other three people who had been as silent as dead people suddenly raised their heads and let out a shrill scream in unison.

As soon as the words fell, three people flew into the air and greeted their flying companion, as if they wanted to catch him.

laugh!
But with a sound of tearing cloth, the "paper man" thrown into the air was instantly torn into five pieces and exploded in the air.

The remains of limbs and debris fell all over the deck with a "clatter", and the disgusting smell of blood instantly filled the air.

Three white shadows landed on the ground, but in the next moment they all turned into streams of light, rushing towards Liu Qi at lightning speed, and in the blink of an eye they were already five steps in front of Liu Qi.

Liu Qi raised his eyes silently, looking at the three people with the same ghostly faces, red lips and white teeth, and their claws raised in unison, with a strange blue light flashing at their fingertips.

Zheng——

Just as the three of them stretched out their claws and were about to grab Liu Qi, they suddenly felt the air around them stagnate, and then the three of them seemed to be frozen in front of Liu Qi.

"Playing tricks..." Liu Qi opened her red lips slightly, her tone indifferent.

Just as he finished speaking, the three of them fell to the ground with a "bang". It seemed as if a Five Elements Mountain was pressing down on each of them, and they were unable to move!
Chu Xingbai, who was standing on the mast, was so frightened that his eyes were throbbing with fear. The four ghostly men in white were obviously quite skilled in martial arts, but Liu Qi only took a step forward without even raising his hand, and the four were easily taken down.

"Liu Qi, don't you want to know the whereabouts of your second brother?" A man in white who was finally pinned to the ground and unable to move roared.

It’s easy to say if you’re willing!

Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly, and he instantly removed the pressure of his internal energy on him.

The moment the true energy was withdrawn, the opponent fell to the ground like a puddle of mud and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hehehe..." Then he let out a sinister laugh, "I tell you..."

Click!

Before he could finish his words, his slightly raised head suddenly turned 360 degrees, and then with a "bang", he fell to the deck.

Liu Qi silently withdrew his gaze, and then looked at the other two people who were suppressed by his true energy.

She has more than one tongue, why is she so arrogant?

With the previous experience as a lesson, the remaining two people stopped struggling instantly. After a while, one of them shouted loudly: "Xu Qingjiang's family has fallen into the hands of the Ghost Emperor!"

Then the mountain-like Qi on his body disappeared instantly, and the person who had just spoken breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "The Ghost Emperor sent us to invite Miss Xu to the Imperial City for a chat!"

Liu Qi raised his eyes and glanced at the coffin carried by four people, and said in a cold voice: "So, this coffin is here to pick me up?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the deck fell into deathly silence.

The person who just spoke spoke in a hoarse voice: "Master Ghost Emperor said that if Miss Xu doesn't want Second Master Xu's family to be beheaded, she'd better follow us back obediently!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi suddenly bent down, moved closer to him, and asked softly, "How about we make a deal? You tell me where the Ghost Emperor you mentioned is, and I'll let you go. How about that?"

"I..." The man was about to speak, but suddenly something seemed to block his throat. He choked and then fell to the ground with a plop.

At almost the same time, the other person who was suppressed by Liu Qi's true energy also died!
Liu Qi frowned slightly, then immediately retracted his true energy and called out loudly, "Chu Xingbai!"

Chu Xingbai floated down from the mast, and without waiting for Liu Qi to remind him, he went straight forward to check the two bodies, and then said in a deep voice: "Dead!"

Chu Xingbai searched the two bodies for a while, then frowned, stood up and said slowly: "Someone must have tampered with their heart meridians in advance, and the internal strength of the person who tampered with them should be from the same school as these people, so you didn't notice it."

In other words, these four people were destined to die before they came!
