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

Chapter 285 You are the one here

On the awning boat.

After hearing Zhao Dengyun's reply, Gu Yao and Fu Qingshu were both stunned for a moment.

"Hahaha..." Gu Yao laughed heartily, "Since this Overlord Liu values ​​the wine I brew so much, Deng Yun will keep one jar of the wine we brought and send the rest to her!"

Zhao Dengyun replied "yes", then stepped out to prepare.

"This Liu Qi is quite interesting." After watching his disciple walk out, Gu Yao smiled softly at Fu Qingshu.

Fu Qingshu forced a smile on his face: "It is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand what this woman did. If she wins the battle with Brother Ji Yu this time, it would be fine. If she loses, I am afraid that the Xu family members who came with her will..."

Gu Yao smiled indifferently when he heard this: "Brother Fu is indeed kind-hearted, but if King Liu falls, even if the Xu family stays in Qingjiang Mansion, I'm afraid they will not be able to escape this disaster."

Fu Qingshu paused after hearing this, then agreed with a wry smile: "This Liu Qi is really a bit too overbearing. Isn't she afraid of revenge against her family?"

Gu Yao smiled without saying anything, quietly sipping the wine in the glass.

Otherwise, why would people in the underworld call him "Overlord"!

She offended the Beggars' Sect, and Tang Li, the adopted son of Tang Huaiqiu, the leader of the Tang Clan, also died at her hands. Although Tang Huaiqiu already had a biological son, the fact that his adopted son was beheaded in public was a real slap in the face of the Tang Clan. This grudge may not be so easy to resolve.

Oh, right!

It seems that one of Jiang Jiyu's direct disciples was also killed by her.

Thinking of this, Gu Yao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly sighing that he was really old!

Let’s get back to Liu Qi.

Zhao Dengyun brought ten jars of fine wine on board again. This time, Liu Qi came out to meet him, but he just accepted the wine and coldly rejected Gu Yao's request to visit him on board.

When Zhao Dengyun heard what Liu Qi said, his eyes widened slightly. He had followed Gu Yao for nearly twenty years, but this was the first time he saw someone directly reject his master's business card!

And this woman accepted the gift!

Zhao Dengyun looked at a grinning man walking happily towards the cabin with a jar of wine in his arms. His face darkened instantly, but years of rest made him unable to speak and ask the other party to return the wine.

Seeing Zhao Dengyun staring at Chu Xingbai who was about to carry the wine into the cabin, Liu Qi thought that this guy might be planning to take back the gift he had given. His face immediately became serious, and then he said in a cold voice: "I have received the gift. This place is simple, so I won't keep you for tea. Please!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dengyun couldn't help but glance towards Liu Qi, only to see the stunningly beautiful woman in front of him tilting her head slightly and looking at him with an unfriendly expression.

Zhao Dengyun's heart shuddered, and he couldn't utter a single word of the thousands of words in his mind. It was not until he got off the boat in a daze that he felt the oppressive feeling in his chest instantly disappeared.

He immediately felt an endless chill coming from behind, and in an instant his clothes were soaked.

Zhao Dengyun couldn't help but tighten his right hand that was holding the scabbard. After taking a long breath, he turned around and took a deep look at the big ship where Liu Qi was.

……

"This kid, how can he accept other people's gifts but not accept the visiting card!" Xu Yongding complained to his wife Tao when he learned about what Liu Qi had done.

Mrs. Tao was concentrating on choosing the jewelry she liked in her dressing box. When she heard what her husband said, she immediately looked at him angrily and said in an impatient tone, "Don't mind your own business!"

Xu Yongding touched his nose and said helplessly, "Madam, how can I intervene? I just think Fang Fu is being...disrespectful."

Tao raised her head and thought for a while, then said confidently: "Fang Fu just had a fight with the leader of the Wuji Sect. Maybe these gifts were sent by him as an apology!"

Tao started to complain non-stop: "You said that old man surnamed Gu is also the same. He is old enough to be our Fang Fu's grandfather, but he still bullied Fang Fu shamelessly. He should come to our house to apologize!"

Xu Yongding quickly shut his mouth. He finally understood that in his wife's eyes, anything involving their daughter was someone else's fault!

But that is the Lingtian swordsman Gu Yao!

One of the Seven Stars!

He still took the initiative to send a visit invitation, but was rejected by his daughter.

However, Xu Yongding changed his mind and thought that Liu Qi went south to fight with another one of the Seven Stars, and suddenly he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"Husband, what do you think of these pieces of jewelry?" Tao placed the selected jewelry in front of her one by one, and then excitedly asked Xu Yongding beside her.

Xu Yongding took a look and asked in confusion: "Isn't this the jewelry you brought as a dowry?"

Mrs. Tao nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, the styles of these jewelry are more suitable for young people. Our Fangfu is beautiful, but her outfit is a bit too plain. It is said that people in Jiangnan pay great attention to their outfit. We have come from afar, so we can't let the locals look down on us!"

Xu Yongding: …

Madam, you should still remember the purpose of our daughter's visit, right?
……

As more and more boats came and went on the river, Liu Qi and his party finally arrived at the territory of Jiangnan!
After more than half a month's journey, everyone on the boat, except Liu Qi and Chu Xingbai, showed signs of fatigue to some extent.

Now that they were less than half a day’s sail away from Jiangnan, everyone was filled with joy.

Liu Qi stood on one side of the deck, looking at the various ships parked in an orderly manner on the shore, and clearly felt that the atmosphere here was different from that of the capital and Qingjiang Prefecture.

Zhou Mi walked to Liu Qi's side without knowing when, and said softly: "Jiangnan is the most prosperous place in Daqi. Not only is the land fertile and the products abundant, but also it has convenient water transportation. Merchants from all over the country almost use this place as a transit station."

“Iron ore and horses from the northwest; salt and Sichuan brocade from the southwest; woolen materials from the north; fishery products from the coast, and even spices from overseas can be found everywhere in Jiangnan.”

"As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Jiangnan is rich and naturally has a pivotal position in the martial arts world. Feiyu Villa, the Lu family, and even the Changle Gang and Taiyi Sect that are adjacent to Jiangnan..."

"Oh, there is also the Beggar Gang's Knights' Tower. I wonder if Xiu Shaoyang has returned from Junshan Island." When Zhou Mi mentioned Xiu Shaoyang, he couldn't help but smile and blinked at Liu Qi.

From the moment Zhou Mi appeared until now, Liu Qi's eyes have been fixed on an inconspicuous black-sailed boat on the river. On the bow of the boat stood a white-haired old man.

Seeing that Liu Qi ignored her, Zhou Mi stood on tiptoe and followed Liu Qi's gaze. Naturally, she could not see as far as Liu Qi, and could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a small boat following their ship in the distance.

Zhou Mi pursed her lips and thought for a while, then smiled softly and said, "Why, do you feel that the previous battle with Gu Yao is still a little unsatisfactory?"

Hearing this, Liu Qi finally replied, "It's not Gu Yao, but Fu Qingshu."

Zhou Mi was surprised and asked, "Fu Qingshu? He's here too?"

Liu Qi nodded slightly. She did not tell anyone that she saw Fu Qingshu on the black-sailed boat.

Zhou Mi immediately asked: "Fu Qingshu and Jiang Jiyu are close friends. Could it be that he heard that you challenged Jiang Jiyu to a duel, so he specially invited Gu Yao to help?" Liu Qi shook his head slowly: "Gu Yao is the leader of a sect after all. Even if Fu Qingshu has done him a great favor, Gu Yao would not give away the century-old reputation of Tianshan Wuji Sect just to repay him!"

Liu Qi was not worried about Jiang Jiyu and Gu Yao joining forces.

If they could really do such a thing, I'm afraid the entire martial arts world would laugh at them and the Feiyu Villa and Tianshan Wuji Sect behind them for only being able to bully the minority with their numbers.

Besides...

In a fight at the highest level, one plus one does not necessarily equal two.

Even water and fire are incompatible, let alone the extremely powerful ones who have already gained a glimpse of the way of heaven and earth.

But the appearance of Fu Qingshu did make Liu Qi more vigilant, because Fu Zhuolin, who called himself "Your Majesty", was his biological son.

Although Fu Qingshu resigned from his official position and retired, Liu Qi still couldn't help but wonder whether there was any connection between him and Futian.

Why is there still no news from the Jinma Chamber of Commerce!
Liu Qi immediately thought of Liu Er.

It stands to reason that after the Jinma Chamber of Commerce reached a deal with the Xu family, with Liu Er's intelligence, it should not be difficult for him to guess that he already knew his situation. It stands to reason that he should have sent some information to him now.

"Aunt, aunt!"

Suddenly, Xu Xinshan came running over with her short legs and bumped into Liu Qi head-on. She hugged Liu Qi's legs and raised her little head: "Aunt, Grandpa wants you to go to the bow."

The bow...

Liu Qi quietly pushed the little girl away from her legs, then pushed her to Zhou Mi's side, and then walked straight to the bow of the ship.

Everyone on the boat gathered at the bow at this time.

Uncle Xu Yongyuan was standing at the front. He turned around and saw Liu Qi coming, and quickly waved for him to come over.

"Fang Fu, look!" Xu Yongyuan raised his hand and pointed into the distance.

Liu Qi looked around and saw a huge ship suddenly appearing in the middle of the river in the distance. It was like a giant beast crawling on the river, riding the wind and waves towards their ship!

Liu Qi's eyes narrowed slightly as he caught a glimpse of the flag flying on the other side's ship. He could vaguely see that the pattern on the flag was a large bird with its wings spread high in the sky. Its body was snow-white like a flying crane, but its overall shape looked very much like a phoenix.

Feiyu Villa!

In a flash, the huge ship was less than a hundred feet away from Liu Qi's ship, and its speed was getting faster and faster with no intention of stopping.

Xu Yongyuan murmured anxiously: "It's too late!"

"It's the ship of Feiyu Villa!" Except for Liu Qi, someone present finally recognized the ship speeding towards them.

Xu Yongding walked forward slowly, standing side by side with Liu Qi and Xu Yongyuan, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the other party knows our itinerary very well, and they are not here with good intentions!"

Liu Qi really wanted to remind his father that we are the newcomers!
Eighty feet!
The boat from Feiyu Villa still showed no sign of stopping!
Xu Yongyuan looked solemn and shouted loudly: "Captain, quickly turn the rudder and find a way to avoid them!"

The Feiyu Villa's ship is more than twice as large as Liu Qi and her crew's. If it collides directly, Liu Qi and her crew's ship will definitely be smashed to pieces!

The captain was a middle-aged man with a dark complexion. He was on the deck at this time and saw the huge ship coming at full speed from the opposite side. He was already extremely anxious. When he heard Xu Yongyuan urging him to turn the rudder to avoid it, the captain replied in despair:
"It's too late. If we forcefully change the rudder now, we will definitely be hit by the other party. Then..."

When the captain thought of the scene of the ship being destroyed and people dying, he could no longer speak.

At this time, on the black-sailed boat, Gu Yao, Fu Qingshu, and Zhao Dengyun were standing at the bow, and saw the giant ship of Feiyu Villa rushing towards Liu Qi's ship at full speed.

Fu Qingshu's face turned pale: "Brother Ji Yu is too..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Yao interrupted him, "It may not be the work of Master Jiang."

As he spoke, Gu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze slowly moved towards the giant ship that was breaking through the waves. Faintly, he could see a residual shadow that seemed to be approaching the giant ship.

Liu Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered "I'll be back soon", then he jumped up from where he stood, and under the astonished gaze of everyone on the boat, he flew towards the huge ship opposite.

When he was less than thirty feet away from the giant warship, Liu Qi's body suddenly froze and he was suspended in mid-air.

"Miss Liu, what happened today was just a misunderstanding!" Then a melodious and familiar voice was heard from the giant ship.

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant ship suddenly slowed down.

Liu Qi watched the giant ship gradually approaching, and finally stopped less than five feet in front of her. Her body slowly fell down until her toes touched the water surface, causing a ripple, and then she stopped and hung above the water.

Liu Qi slowly raised his head and saw a thin figure standing on the bow. Looking at the familiar face, Liu Qi couldn't help but slightly opened his lips: "Long time no see, Master Jiang."

Jiang Jiyu's face was as cold as ice. He looked down at Liu Qi on the river. After a long silence, he replied in a deep voice: "I will give you an explanation for what happened today."

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. It seemed that this ship today was not ordered by Jiang Jiyu.

She nodded slightly, agreeing to Jiang Jiyu's words.

There was no need for Liu Qi to think about it carefully. Jiang Jiyu really had no reason to do this. Apart from angering Liu Qi, what good would it do?
Jiang Jiyu saw that Liu Qi had no intention of pursuing the matter further, and the coldness on his face suddenly dissipated a little. He then continued, "Miss Liu, please wait a moment. Jiang will go and have someone move the boat away."

"That's not necessary!"

Liu Qi said softly, and at the same time his right hand climbed onto the hilt of the knife at his waist. With the sound of "Cang——" the knife hummed, the Jingji Knife was already unsheathed.

Jiang Jiyu watched Liu Qi draw his sword from its sheath, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The true energy in his body began to flow frantically, and in an instant, a powerful aura enveloped his body.

Rumbling--

Jiang Jiyu, who was hidden behind the aura, opened his eyes slightly and stared at the sword light rising into the sky in front of him. He vaguely guessed Liu Qi's plan in his heart, and then his face darkened. After a brief hesitation, he slowly closed his eyes, and then spread his arms like wings, and the whole person floated into the sky like a kite with a broken string...

"This..." Zhao Dengyun stared in amazement at the purple blade light that was rising into the sky in the distance on the black-sailed boat, his lips trembling slightly.

Gu Yao, who was standing aside, had inexplicable emotions in his eyes until he heard a slight "hiss" in his ears. Then Gu Yao turned his head and saw the dull look in his old friend Fu Qingshu's eyes.

This day is destined to be an unforgettable day for everyone on the river!
In full view of everyone, a blade light dozens of feet long chopped down vertically, cutting the giant ship into two pieces. As the two pieces of the giant ship's wreckage sank to the bottom of the river, huge waves hit both banks.

Liu Qi had already returned to the boat by now. He glanced at the astonished looks of the people on the deck and immediately felt very satisfied with what he had done.

I wonder if everyone in Jiangnan finds this gift pleasing to the eye?
