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

Chapter 293 Romance
I thought Zhang Song could stop the Changle Gang alone, and his martial arts skills were at least not weaker than Luo Yuyan, so he could be used to exercise his hands and feet. But when I really met him, he was far from what Liu Qi expected.

Liu Qi returned disappointed and ran into Fang Qingluan who was waiting at the gate of the mansion.

Fang Qingluan seemed to be still waiting for a reply from the people in the mansion, when she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She turned around and found Liu Qi staring at her at the bottom of the stairs.

Fang Qingluan's eyes moved slightly, and finally she turned around and bowed slightly to Liu Qi, holding the sword in both hands and saluted, saying: "Qingluan greets... Miss Liu."

Although Fang Qingluan had already prepared a plan in mind, when she actually met Liu Qi, she hesitated for a moment before calling her "Miss Liu."

Liu Qi walked up the stone steps slowly, came to Fang Qingluan, and said softly: "After several months of separation, Miss Fang is still as charming as ever!"

In Liu Qi's opinion, Fang Qingluan has gained some dignity as a superior compared to when she was in the capital. Her every move reveals a maturity that does not match her age. It seems that the rumors are true. Jiang Jiyu really intends to pass the position of manor owner to her!

Fang Qingluan put her hands back to her side, straightened her body, looked up at Liu Qi, and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Miss Liu, you are too kind. Since we met in the capital, your reputation has spread far and wide. Now, who in the world doesn't know the name of Overlord?"

Fang Qingluan said, his eyes slightly lowered, quickly swept across the Jingji Knife on Liu Qi's waist, and then said in a deep voice: "Master, please come to Miss Liu's house for a chat."

"Jiang Jiyu?" Liu Qi replied casually, "Has his injury healed?"

Fang Qingluan's pupils trembled when she heard that, and then she took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Miss Liu, you are joking. In Jiangnan, who else can hurt my master?"

Since the other party didn't admit it, Liu Qi didn't bother to argue and replied casually: "Tell Jiang Jiyu that I won't go to Feiyu Villa. Ask him to find another place to hold a banquet and wait for me."

As soon as Liu Qi finished speaking, he walked past Fang Qingluan. After walking a few steps, he stopped, tilted his head slightly and continued, "After all, it is one of the most powerful sects in Jiangnan. Since you are going to entertain me, don't act like a petty person."

It was not until a moment after Liu Qi entered the mansion that Fang Qingluan, who was standing at the door, slowly turned around, looked deeply at the closed door, and then turned and left.

Feiyu Villa.

Jiang Jiyu listened to Fang Qingluan's story while sipping his tea with his head down.

When he heard Fang Qingluan repeat the last words Liu Qi left before entering the mansion, Jiang Jiyu paused holding the teacup, then smiled softly: "It seems that some of the rumors are not groundless. This Liu Bawang is really greedy for words."

Fang Qingluan pursed her lips in silence. All the information related to Liu Qi would pass through her hands, so Fang Qingluan was naturally clear about what Liu Qi did in his daily life.

But she really couldn't connect a drunkard and a foodie with the famous overlord Liu Qi in the martial arts world.

The key is this...

Fang Qingluan recalled the information about Liu Qi's food preferences, and thought about those snacks and candies, which were rarely eaten by the female disciples of the villa after they turned twelve.

If the name on the intelligence was covered up and outsiders saw it, they would think that the person they were monitoring at Feiyu Villa was an underage, greedy girl!

Jiang Jiyu put the teacup aside, and then instructed Fang Qingluan: "Since our Overlord has already spoken, Qingluan, prepare it according to her preferences."

Fang Qingluan immediately collected her thoughts and nodded in response, "Yes."

"In addition..." Jiang Jiyu frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "Since she doesn't want to come to Feiyu Villa, why not just hold the banquet on the river."

On the river...

Fang Qingluan raised her head immediately after hearing this, looked at her master with strange eyes, and then asked doubtfully: "Master, what do you mean..."

……

Liu Qi first went to his parents' yard to sit for a while, and then was about to go back to meditate and practice, but on the way he ran into Tao Zhiyan and Tao Zhili, a brother and sister who seemed to be arguing.

Before Liu Qi could get close, Tao Zhili suddenly flicked his sleeves, broke free from Tao Zhiyan's hands, and then fled, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

When Liu Qi approached, Tao Zhiyan was jumping and cursing in the direction where Tao Zhili fled: "If you have the guts, you can hide for the rest of your life. You are really getting cocky and rebelling!"

Tao Zhili is Tao Zhiyan's elder brother. When words like "you've grown wings" come from his younger sister's mouth, it has a special flavor.

However, Liu Qi revealed her thoughts in one sentence: "With cousin's martial arts, if I wanted to chase him, I'm afraid he would have fallen into your hands now."

Tao Zhiyan blushed when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Liu Qi with a guilty look, then smiled and said, "Cousin, why are you going out so early? Is there something important?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said bluntly: "It's nothing, I just wanted to find a suitable opponent to loosen up my muscles, but I met a useless one."

Tao Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the teachings of her brother Tao Zhili. She suppressed her curiosity and did not ask who the opponent Liu Qi was talking about.

Liu Qi asked, "Looking at my cousin's panic, what happened?"

"What else could it be!" Tao Zhili spat with a red face, then whispered, "Today, Master's good friend is hosting a party and invites Master to the riverside pleasure boat to reminisce about the past."

Painting boat...

Liu Qi raised her eyebrows and thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "So this is a romantic place. Since Qingzhuke's friends are hosting, why don't you go as their direct disciple, cousin?"

Tao Zhiyan looked up at Liu Qi with her eyes wide open, and murmured, "Cousin, do you know what Fengyuedi means?"

Liu Qi nodded seriously: "Of course I know, but... does it matter?"

As the saying goes, among the world, there must be people with temperament.

Brothels and theaters have always been places where people from all walks of life gather with their friends.

Tao Zhiyan looked at Liu Qi, who looked calm, and finally shook her head speechlessly, thinking that her cousin was indeed different from ordinary people.

……

"what!"

Liu Qi and Tao Zhiyan came to Zhou Mi's yard. When Zhou Mi and Liu Shijiu heard that Tao Zhili was going to visit Jiangshan Painting Boat, they slammed the table in tacit understanding and exclaimed.

Tao Zhiyan thought that the two were going to severely criticize Tao Zhili's shameless behavior, and was looking forward to it with a smile on her face, holding her head with both hands.

As a result, Zhou Mi sat down and said, "Brother Tao really treats us as outsiders. He only cares about enjoying such a good thing by himself!"

"All men are bad indeed!" Liu Nineteen snorted coldly and sat down, but her eager eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

The expression on Tao Zhiyan's face froze instantly.

No, is she the only girl in this room?
Liu Qi glanced at Zhou Mi, thinking that at her age, she had the nerve to call Tao Zhili "Brother Tao". Wasn't she afraid that Tao Zhili would shorten his life? The romantic places on the river were considered the most famous scene in Jiangnan.

As the saying goes, food, sex and love are the greatest desires of human beings.

Throughout the ages, from emperors and princes to peddlers and hawkers, no one can escape these four words.

These pleasure boats in the south of the Yangtze River can be said to be the perfect embodiment of the four words "food, sex, and love".

Clothing, food, music, makeup... all of them lead the trend of Da Qi. Even the wealthy capital is far behind Jiangnan in these aspects.

Not to mention Zhou Mi and Liu Nineteen, the two fun-loving ones, even Gongsun Yan, who was waiting at the door, couldn't help but prick up his ears to listen to Zhou Mi's endless introduction in the house.

Zhou Mi is a living history book. He only briefly mentions other aspects except eating, drinking and having fun. Although he only talked about the splendor of Jiangnan a hundred years ago, everyone in the room still felt envious after listening to him.

Even Tao Zhiyan, who was somewhat resistant at first, now regretted it: "I should have gone with Master and the others earlier!"

Snapped!
Zhou Mi slammed the table and said, "Could it be that without them, we won't be able to enjoy this romantic scene?"

"That's right!" Liu Shijiu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, his eyes sparkling as he echoed.

There is no need to guess what Liu Jiujiu is thinking about. It must be for clothes and jewelry. I don't know if it was influenced by Madam Mei or if it was just his nature. When he was at Xiliu Villa, Liu Jiujiu had already shown a passion for clothes and jewelry.

Although Tao Zhiyan was also somewhat tempted in her heart, the etiquette she had been taught since childhood prevented her from expressing it as directly as Zhou Mi and Liu Shijiu.

Tao Zhiyan blinked, then looked at Liu Qi who was silent beside her.

Zhou Mi and Liu Nineteen looked at Liu Qi at the same time.

Feeling the burning gazes of the three people, Liu Qi said calmly: "Go if you want to, why are you looking at me?"

Zhou Mi smiled openly and said, "If it weren't for you, the great overlord Liu, acting as a flower protector, I'm afraid that these delicate girls of ours would be like sheep walking into the tiger's mouth!"

Well, the brain is still there after all.

Liu Shijiu and Tao Zhiyan are both good at martial arts, but in the Jiangnan area where many talented people are hiding, I'm afraid they are not good enough.

With the looks of these three of them, it would be strange if they didn't attract some hot men!

Liu Qi said slowly: "Maybe not today."

Compared with Jiang Jiyu, romance and beauty are really not worth mentioning.

Just when Zhou Mi and the other two were looking disappointed, a servant suddenly came in to report that someone named Fang Qingluan wanted to see them outside the mansion.

Liu Qi's lazy eyes froze for a moment, and then he signaled his servants to let the person in.

Fang Qingluan walked into the room and looked at the three beautiful women around Liu Qi. She was slightly distracted, especially after seeing Zhou Mi. Fang Qingluan was struck by lightning and just stood there in a daze!
Queen Mother!

Why is Queen Mother Zhou Mi here!
Fang Qingluan was also present at the palace turmoil that day. She had seen Zhou Mi's face with her own eyes, so naturally she had a deep memory of this stunningly beautiful face!
Zhou Mi looked at Fang Qingluan's expression and knew that she had recognized him. He smiled and said, "Miss Fang, long time no see."

Fang Qingluan finally calmed down her chaotic thoughts, and then nodded slightly to Zhou Mi.

Now that he had already withdrawn from the court, he should not get involved in it anymore. Although he was curious about why Zhou Mi appeared next to Liu Qi, reason always prevailed over everything.

Seeing Fang Qingluan's expression quickly calm down, Zhou Mi couldn't help but nodded, with admiration in his eyes.

No wonder Jiang Jiyu would directly bypass Dugu Ming and other outstanding male disciples and support Fang Qingluan to the position against all odds. This kind of calmness alone is not something that ordinary people can learn.

Feiyu Villa is not like Shaolin and Qingcheng sects that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, and its foundation is too weak.

Jiang Jiyu's sudden appearance brought Feiyu Villa to an unprecedented height, but top masters like Jiang Jiyu are extremely rare in a sect like Feiyu Villa.

Since it is impossible to defeat all the heroes with martial arts, the heir's abilities in other areas become extremely valuable!
Obviously, in Jiang Jiyu's opinion, none of his disciples has the potential to reach the top.

So instead of passing the position of manor owner to Dugu Ming, who has top cultivation but lacks leadership ability, it is better to let Fang Qingluan, who is slightly inferior in martial arts but has outstanding leadership ability, have a try.

At least from now on, Fang Qingluan has done a good job!
"Miss Liu." Fang Qingluan took a deep breath and then handed over the invitation with both hands. "My master is hosting a banquet on the river boat tonight. I hope Miss Liu can honor him."

Liu Qi knew that Fang Qingluan represented Jiang Jiyu, so he took the invitation and said, "Since it is Master Jiang who invited me, Liu Qi will definitely attend the banquet on time!"

After Fang Qingluan left.

Liu Qi waved the invitation in his hand and said to the three women in the room who were staring at him eagerly, "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and get ready!"

……

Inside the spacious carriage, four people sat on both sides, four pairs of bright eyes looking at each other.

Liu Qi lazily leaned on the couch, his eyes swept over the three people one by one, and then said softly: "You are well prepared."

Zhou Mi, Liu Shijiu and Tao Zhiyan were all dressed in men's clothing.

However, anyone with eyesight can tell at a glance that all three of them are girls.

Tao Zhiyan looked at Liu Qi's plain white fir skirt and couldn't help asking, "Cousin, are you really not going to change into men's clothes?"

"What if those scoundrels mistake you for..." Tao Zhiyan did not continue speaking, because she felt that if this situation really happened, those scoundrels would end up in a miserable state!

But they were going to a brothel after all, and it felt a bit weird to wear women's clothes.

Before Liu Qi could speak, Zhou Mi smiled and said, "It's been so long, and you, as her cousin, still don't understand our Liu Bawang's temperament. When has she ever paid attention to other people's looks and opinions?"

As soon as Zhou Mi finished speaking, Liu Qi stretched his body lazily, revealing the hilt of the knife at his waist.

Tao Zhiyan looked at the dagger on Liu Qi's waist and quickly shut her mouth, feeling deeply worried for the guests who were having fun on the pleasure boat today.

I hope no one will bring bad luck to my cousin!
However, Tao Zhiyan glanced at Liu Qi's face secretly, her eyes blurred for a moment, then she quickly lowered her head and patted her flat chest, vaguely feeling that her hopes might be dashed!
