Chapter 282 Come here because of fame
It seems that these four creatures that are neither ghosts nor humans are just cannon fodder.

Liu Qi raised his eyes to look at the coffin carried by four people, and then nodded slightly at Chu Xingbai.

Chu Xingbai understood what he meant, walked forward and circled the coffin, then used both hands to directly open the coffin lid, then stepped back a few steps and waited for a few breaths, then walked forward again and took a look, then exclaimed: "Liu Qi, there is someone inside!"

Liu Qi stepped forward and looked carefully. He saw a small body lying in the coffin, and it was still breathing. It was not dead!

Liu Qi withdrew his gaze and vaguely guessed the identity of the person in the coffin.

When Xu Yongyuan heard the noise and came out, he looked at the little person in the coffin and shouted "Shan'er", then Liu Qi realized that his guess was correct.

The person in the coffin was Xu Qingjiang’s daughter Xu Xinshan!

……

The next day.

Liu Qi and Liu Shijiu stood side by side on the deck, while Chu Xingbai squatted on the mast, looking bored.

The bodies from last night had been cleaned up, but a faint smell of blood still lingered on the deck. Except for Liu Qi and Liu Shijiu, no one else seemed to be used to the smell on the deck.

After a while, Liu Qi saw his father Xu Yongding walk out of the cabin and walk towards him with a gloomy face.

Liu Qi asked: "Still not awake?"

Xu Yongding shook his head: "Miss Zhou said that Xinshan was poisoned by a strange poison, and the usual detoxification methods are useless."

boom!
Xu Yongding slapped the railing with his palm and said angrily: "How could you be so cruel to a child!"

Liu Qi and Liu Shijiu both looked extremely calm.

Liu Qi already knew about Xu Xinshan's poisoning last night.

However, the poison that Xu Xinshan was poisoned with was indeed not ordinary. Even Liu Qi did not think it was a poison, because after Liu Qi forcibly transferred the poison from Xu Xinshan to himself, Yueya did not move.

This shows that the toxins in Xu Xinshan's body were not naturally acquired.

These toxins are hidden very deeply and seem to be slowly being absorbed into Xu Xinshan's body without causing any harm to her body.

Liu Qi speculated that Xu Xinshan would wake up after three days when these strange "toxins" were completely absorbed by her body.

However, Liu Qi didn’t know what impact these strange “toxins” in her body would have on Xu Xinshan herself.

At this time, Zhou Mi also walked out of the cabin. When she came to the deck, she seemed to smell the bloody smell in the air, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly.

Xu Xinshan is now being cared for by Liu Qi's mother, Mrs. Tao.

Uncle Xu Yongyuan was busy writing a letter, intending to ask for help from the Six Gates.

"Those four people last night... are the ones from Gui Den?" Zhou Mi walked closer and asked Liu Qi.

Liu Qi nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "They claimed that they were ordered by the Ghost Emperor to take me to the Imperial City to meet the Ghost Emperor. Who exactly is this Ghost Emperor?"

Zhou Mi shook his head: "I don't know much about Fengdu Ghost Cave, and I have never heard of any Ghost Emperor."

She then sighed softly, "I don't know if it's my illusion, but since Wei Yang's death, it seems like a lot of evil spirits have suddenly appeared in this world!"

Zhou Mi didn't finish his words.

This is clearly a sign of chaos in the world!

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi could not help but glance at Xu Yongding beside him, and saw that he was still immersed in grief and resentment, and did not notice Zhou Mi's address to the general.

If it were in the past, Liu Qi would have felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou Mi said. The beginning of the chaos in the world was the death of General Zhou Weiyang. The martial arts world, which had been suppressed by him for decades, hit rock bottom and began to stir.

but now……

Liu Qi vaguely felt that things were not that simple, but he could not figure out the crux of the matter for a while. However, he vaguely felt that there was a big hand behind the scenes pushing everything.
Including Zhou Weiyang’s death…

Although the four cannon fodders yesterday did not explicitly say that they came from the ghost den, one of the three great forbidden areas, their clothing and the slogans they shouted when they appeared, "Yin people are out, strangers should stay away," were exactly the same as those in the capital.

In other words, the reason why Liu San became like that was because of these people.

And "Futian" is obviously inextricably linked with these people.

Liu Qi turned around and looked into the distance. She suddenly wanted to meet Liu Er, because Liu Er not only controlled the Jinma Chamber of Commerce, but also Liu San was in his hands. He must know something!
……

Jinma Chamber of Commerce, the magnificent headquarters building.

Liu Er, dressed in brocade robes and looking like a wealthy young man, walked all the way to the top of the building. After taking a deep breath at the corner of the corridor, he stepped into the corridor and walked all the way to the door of the room at the end.

beep, beep...

He knocked gently on the door.

"Come in." A lazy voice came from inside.

Liu Er pushed the door open and walked in slowly with his head lowered.
After raising his head slightly and catching a glimpse of a red figure, he buried his head even deeper and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"Hehehe..."

The feminine laughter made it difficult to tell whether the person making the laugh was a man or a woman, but Liu Er became visibly more embarrassed when he heard the laughter.

"Liu Er, raise your head."

Liu Er slowly raised his head, but did not dare to look at the red figure in front of him any longer.

call out!
Suddenly a strong wind blew past his ear and knocked the camouflage he used to cover the wound on his face to the ground.

Liu Er was shocked but did not move at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Liu Qi is really something. Such a handsome face is ruined by her!" A hand with orchid fingers stretched out from the wide red sleeves, gently nodded at Liu Er and spoke softly.

Liu Er gritted his teeth and controlled himself not to look at the red figure, but there seemed to be some kind of magic on the other party, and his eyes were always involuntarily attracted to the other party.

When his eyes met that face, Liu Er felt his stomach churning.

Sitting behind the low desk was a person wearing a bright red palace skirt. The clothes looked extremely luxurious, but the person wearing the clothes... had a bumpy old face, with red, white, blue and green smeared all over it, as if she had opened a rouge shop!

Judging from his obvious Adam's apple, this person is obviously a man.

But his every move, smile and frown were extremely artificial, imitating those of a woman.

As if he had seen through Liu Er's discomfort, the man in red twisted his waist and snorted coldly, then said angrily: "I heard that you... gave most of your business to the Xu family?"

Sure enough, he came here for this matter!
Liu Er hurriedly said in a solemn voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is also a last resort. If we hand it over to those powerful big merchants, they also have people from the court standing behind them, and they will find out about us sooner or later!"

"Giving it to the Xu family can conceal our tracks. Secondly, Liu Qi is well-known now. The court will not dare to rashly take action against the Xu family. If the court really has the guts to offend Liu Qi, wouldn't that be exactly what we want?"

When he said the last sentence, Liu Er deliberately slowed down and softened his tone, making it sound like he was acting coquettishly.

The man in red said "hmm" in great satisfaction, then looked at Liu Er with a half-smile, a blush falling from his face: "Liu Er, don't learn from Liu Qi, otherwise I will feel bad when I kill you!"

Liu Er tried his best to suppress the urge to vomit, and gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Er will never dare to disappoint the king."

"That's good!" The man in red seemed a little tired and waved at Liu Er, "Go down first. I'm tired."

"Yes!"

Liu Er bent his waist and walked out of the room step by step.

Just as he turned around, there was a "clang" sound beside him, and a figure crashed through the window. Liu Er's pupils shrank slightly, and his hand was already on the hilt of the knife at his waist. Suddenly, a strong wind blew behind him, and a scorching breath swept over him in an instant.

Liu Er's heart trembled, and he saw the person who had just broken the window was swept away by the strong wind like a fallen leaf, and went straight to the room he had just come out of.

"Liu Er!"

Liu Er heard a hysterical roar. He felt that the voice sounded familiar. He looked carefully and saw that the person who was blown into the king's room by the strong wind was a young and handsome young man!
Strict and sincere!
Liu Er recognized this man. It was his former boss, the third son of the Jinma Chamber of Commerce, Yan Lingcheng!

boom!
Just after Yan Lingcheng was dragged into the room, the door closed instantly!

"Hehehe...Xiao Yan, why are you doing this? Don't I love you enough?"

Hearing the feminine and uncertain voice coming from the room, Liu Er couldn't help but shudder, and then he left quickly and resolutely.

Only after he went downstairs did Liu Er let out a long sigh of relief. Then his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

He held tightly onto the railing beside him, his eyes gradually becoming cold, his other hand tightly gripping the hilt of the knife at his waist, the back of his hand turning white from using too much force.

"Liu Qi..."

A breathtaking face suddenly appeared in his mind.

A faint bitter smile appeared on Liu Er's lips: "As expected, you see the most clearly..."

……

On the river, a boat was slowly approaching the large ship in the center of the river.

On the mast of a large ship in the center of the river, there was a flag fluttering in the wind, and on the flag was written the word "Xu"!

Just as the small boat was about to approach the big ship, suddenly a bearded man with bare chest and a huge butcher knife on his shoulder stood at the bow of the boat.

"Bull Demon Sword Master Hu Dahai has come specially to ask Overlord for advice on swordsmanship!" the bearded man shouted loudly, his voice so resonant that it could be heard clearly along the banks of the two rivers!

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers broke out from other boats on the river!

"What a great Bull Demon Knife! I think he is the only one who is qualified to meet the Overlord today!"

"I heard that the Overlord's beauty is so stunning that it can overwhelm the whole country. So we are blessed today!"

"Hush, keep your voice down. If the Overlord hears you, you'll lose your head."

"Don't scare yourself. It has been nearly ten days since the Overlord came down the river. Anyone who came to ask for advice respectfully has only suffered some physical pain. I don't think the Overlord is as cruel and ruthless as the rumors say!"

"Hehe, have you forgotten the three Chang brothers who died at the hands of the Overlord?"

"It was Chang Lao Er who teased her first..."

After he finished speaking, his tone gradually lowered, as if he remembered the few words he had just said to praise the Overlord's appearance, which also sounded a little disrespectful.

"Bull Demon Knife Hu Dahai."

Suddenly, a childish voice was heard from the boat.

Everyone on the boat looked up and saw a pretty little girl lying on the edge of the deck of the big ship, speaking to the bearded man on the small boat nearby.

"This little girl is the Overlord's niece!"

Someone had already recognized the identity of the girl by the boat.

Hu Dahai looked at his little daughter and laughed, "I am Hu Dahai, little girl, but your aunt asked you to come here!"

The little girl nodded obediently, and then said in a baby voice: "Auntie asked me to come and say something to you."

Hu Dahai grinned and said, "Little girl, tell me, I, Hu Dahai, have big ears, I can hear you!"

The little girl blinked her innocent big eyes, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then opened her mouth and said: "Get lost!"

Hu Dahai seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he used his free hand to pick his ears, and then asked in a hoarse voice: "Little girl, what did you just say?"

The little girl seemed a little helpless and could only say innocently: "My aunt told you to get out!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Now everyone could hear it clearly, and a burst of laughter suddenly broke out on the river!

Hu Dahai's face turned pale and blue. Being told to get lost by a little girl in front of so many people, he was completely humiliated!

"Huhuhu..."

Hu Dahai was panting like a cow, feeling a nameless anger rising in his heart, but then he suddenly thought of something, as if a bucket of ice water was poured over his head, and he instantly sobered up a little, then crawled back into the tent on the boat, covered in dust.

When other people saw this scene, they were bound to laugh at it.

"What a crap Bull Demon Knife! I think Hu Dahai has brought shame to all his ancestors!"

As soon as he said this, someone beside him shouted righteously: "It is common for martial artists to ask for advice and learn from each other. Miss Liu is unwilling to give us some advice. Are we going to hold a grudge against her? I think Hu Dahai knows how to act and how to retreat. He is indeed a real man!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people on the nearby ships fell into silence for a long time.

Someone asked secretly: "Who is this? He speaks so righteously?"

Someone immediately whispered, "Isn't this Qian Wanli, the owner of Wanma Villa?"

"So it was him. I heard that he wanted to challenge Ba Wang the other day, but before he even got on the boat, he was slapped into the water. Look, there's a mark on his face!"

Qian Wanli, standing at the bow, heard the discussions of the people around him and couldn't help feeling hot on his face. Finally, he angrily threw away his sleeves and hid in the cabin.

Qian Wanli's fleeing appearance caused another round of laughter!
At this time, on the big boat in the center of the river, Liu Qi was playing chess with his mother Tao.

Xu Xinshan ran over with her short legs, snuggled up to Mrs. Tao, and then said to Liu Qi in a baby voice, "Aunt, Shan'er has already told that bearded uncle as you instructed, and he left after hearing it!"

Liu Qi nodded slightly: "I know everything. It seems that he is sensible."

"Of course, Shan'er is the most sensible!" Xu Xinshan thought Liu Qi was really praising her, and raised her little head proudly.

Liu Qi's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say much.

Since she went down the river and left Qingjiang Prefecture, many people from the martial arts world who came here to admire her have followed her all the way in large and small boats. No one knows who took the lead, but they all mustered up the courage to ask her for advice.

Liu Qi thought that he would be bored on the road anyway, so if he met someone who was good at using a knife, he would use his strength to relieve his boredom.

If those martial arts skills were mediocre, Liu Qi would naturally ignore them.

Over the past few days, two or three good fighters had the opportunity to meet Liu Qi and performed a few tricks in front of Liu Qi.

Of course, there are also people like the three Chang brothers who speak rudely.

Liu Qi naturally didn't mind letting the three of them reflect on themselves in the elegant seat at the bottom of the river.

In short, those who can make their way in the world are not stupid. After understanding Liu Qi's temper, there are not many warriors who dare to challenge Liu Qi's patience.

"If this continues, I think there will be at least a hundred people following us when we reach Jiangnan!" Xu Yongyuan, who had just returned from an observation, couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Qi dropped a piece and then said calmly, "Let them go."

Everyone in the world knows that Liu Qi went to Jiangnan to fight with Jiang Jiyu. The battle between two top masters would be the biggest scene in the world.

Who wouldn’t want to mention that they were lucky enough to be there when they talk about this grand event to their friends, family or children in the future?
