Chapter 301 Poison Hair
Deng!
A slight sound interrupted Feng Yao's words.

Feng Yao's eyes flickered twice, then he turned his head and saw Liu Qi staring at him indifferently.

Seeing Feng Yao's gaze, Liu Qi opened her lips and said, "A fight between Jiang Jiyu and I is inevitable. As for Jiangnan's fate... I don't care."

Feng Yao's face suddenly turned gloomy, and then he said in a low voice: "Does the girl intend to sit back and watch His Majesty's conspiracy succeed and bring disaster to the world?"

Just as Feng Yao opened his mouth, Liu Qi had already stood up slowly. When Feng Yao finished speaking, she immediately said in a cold voice: "Liu Qi is very satisfied with the scabbard you forged."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

Seeing Liu Qi about to leave, Feng Yao hurriedly stood up and tried to persuade him to stay. However, just as the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt a chill spreading through his body. His face changed drastically, and then he frantically urged his true energy to isolate the bone-chilling chill from his body.

As a result, as the true energy spread throughout the body, the originally fierce coldness disappeared in an instant, and the air in the workshop returned to its original hot state in an instant.

Feng Yao stood there with his mouth slightly open, somewhat at a loss, until he heard Liu Qi's cold voice from afar: "Mr. Feng, since you plan to hide your identity and become a blacksmith, you should just work hard and not get involved in the gossips of the martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yao suddenly looked up towards the door, but Liu Qi had already walked out of the workshop.

Arriving at the reception hall in the front yard, Liu Qi handed a silver note to the shopkeeper who came up to greet him, and then wanted to leave with Nineteen.

The shopkeeper looked at the number on the banknote and his eyes suddenly curved with a smile. Then he politely asked Liu Qi and his party to stay for dinner at the manor.

Of course Liu Qi refused outright.

Jiang Quan, who was standing by, hesitated for a while. Finally, when he saw Liu Qi was about to turn around and leave, he stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Miss Liu, would you please stay and have dinner with us? Cuixiang... wants to see you."

Liu Qi turned around without hesitation, then slightly tilted his head, glanced at Jiang Quan from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "If you want Cuixiang's good, you can hide your identity from now on and forget about the blood feud with your master. This way, you may be able to save your life. That's all I have to say. You can decide for yourself."

"Miss Liu..." Jiang Quan's heart trembled when he heard the words. He was about to say something, but when he looked up, he found that Liu Qi had already walked out of the hall.

The shopkeeper who watched Liu Qi leave turned around and saw Jiang Quan standing there in a daze with disappointment on his face. He shook his head with a sigh, then walked up and patted Jiang Quan on the shoulder.

"Young Master Jiang, everyone has left. You have just recovered from your injuries, so you should go back and rest as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Quan's face turned pale, and then he angrily flicked his long sleeves and strode out of the front yard lobby.

After leaving the gate of the manor, Liu Qi and Nineteen rode their horses towards the city.

Although it was late, the two were in no hurry and rode their horses leisurely on the mountain road.

Liu Nineteen said impatiently: "I think this Jiang guy is not a good guy. If that girl wants to see you, just come out and see you. Why does she have to stay for dinner? He obviously wants to use you to get revenge!"

"After all, with his level of cultivation, it's probably impossible for him to take revenge in this lifetime." Liu Qi replied.

Liu Qi saw through Jiang Quan's plan at a glance.

As one of the Seven Stars, Shen Lin is also on Liu Qi's challenge list, but that doesn't mean she has to help Jiang Quan avenge his death.

However, Feng Yao's words aroused Liu Qi's curiosity.

Is Shen Lin, the "Dragon Roar in the Box", really Your Majesty?
Shen Lin's reputation in the martial arts world has always been lukewarm, and the most famous figure in the Changle Gang is still the current Left Protector Luo Yuyan.

Luo Yuyan was the direct disciple of the old gang leader, a rare female master in the martial arts world, and was also quite capable. At that time, the voice for her to take over the position of gang leader was much higher than that of Shen Lin.

But the one who finally took the position of gang leader was Shen Lin, who usually kept a low profile and was said to look like a weak scholar.

In addition to martial arts, his methods are probably not bad either.

For example, this time the Qixia Sect was annihilated with lightning speed, which caused a lot of controversy in the martial arts world, but now it seems that the impact of these criticisms on the Changle Gang is only insignificant.

After all, the Qixia Sect, including its leader, True Man Liuyun, and all the elders and core disciples were almost completely wiped out.

Although Jiang Quan, who escaped, is also the direct disciple of Master Liuyun, if someone wants to use his name to cause trouble, I am afraid he will not be able to cause much trouble.

This is the cruel side of the underworld.

Even if you have been glorious and successful during your lifetime, when you die and turn into dust, all the fame you have accumulated and the relationships you have worked so hard to build will be gone with the wind.

……

As soon as Liu Qi returned to the city gate, he met the person sent by the Xu family to pick him up.

Upon asking, I found out that she was the daughter of the missing second brother Xu Qingjiang. The strange poison in Xu Xinshan's body relapsed again and she fainted.

Fortunately, Sun Shaoyun, the nephew of Sun Jiyun, the governor of Jiangnan at that time, came to the mansion to apologize for the incident on the painted boat. After seeing Xu Xinshan taking effect of the poison, Sun Shaoyun took the initiative to mention that his uncle had a friendship with the miracle doctor Yuan Tong, who had "escaped nine deaths", and that Yuan Tong's disciple was a guest in the governor's mansion, so he proposed to bring Xu Xinshan to the mansion for treatment.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately asked the servant from Xu's residence, "So Xin Shan has been taken to the Governor's Mansion?"

"Yes!"

After Liu Qi found out, he took Liu Nineteen and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

When the two arrived at the street where the Governor's Mansion was located, it was already completely dark. The soldiers on duty at the intersection saw the two people riding horses and immediately shouted, "Who are you, you dare to ride horses on the street of the Governor's Mansion!"

Although there is no curfew in Jiangnan, horse racing is prohibited on the streets of the Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that the two horses were galloping towards him with no intention of slowing down, the leading soldier's face changed, and he quickly ordered his men to put down the barricades.

Liu Qi saw the soldiers in front of him carrying chevaux de frise and placing them on the road, so he squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and raised his hand and waved it forward, and a strong wind swept out instantly.

More than a dozen soldiers only felt a gust of wind whistling towards them, and then their bodies were swept into the air uncontrollably, and then fell to the side of the road. When they got up wailing, they could only watch Liu Qi and Liu Shijiu riding their horses past.

The leading sergeant was the first to stand up, quickly straightened his hat, and then shouted hysterically: "Chase him!"

Call——

Liu Qi reined in his horse and stopped at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

Unlike the heavily guarded street entrance, there were only three people on duty outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion: two guards on the left and right, and a figure standing between the two guards.

Just after Liu Qi and Liu Shijiu arrived, the man standing among the guards suddenly moved.

"My name is Sun Shaoyun, and I am waiting for you two young ladies here!"

When Liu Qi got off the horse, he heard this voice. Then he looked up at the man who was coming towards him. After seeing his face clearly in the bright moonlight, he immediately asked in a cold voice: "Where is Xu Xinshan?"

Sun Shaoyun walked closer and caught a glimpse of Liu Qi's face. His eyes suddenly brightened a little, and then he looked at Liu Qi's face a few more times with some greed. He lowered his head with a look of unsatisfied feeling and said respectfully: "Miss Xu, there is no need to worry. Miss Xinshan has already rested in the mansion."

"I'm asking you where Xinshan is?" Liu Qi's tone gradually became cold.

Sun Shaoyun couldn't help but feel a chill on his back when he heard that, and then quickly replied: "Miss Xinshan is resting in the guest room of the mansion. If Miss Xu wants to see her, I will take her there right away." Liu Qi nodded slightly: "Lead the way."

Sun Shaoyun had heard from his uncle countless times about how terrifying Liu Qi was. Although he was surprised that Liu Qi's beauty was indeed as stunning as the rumors said, he did not dare to be careless at this moment.

Sun Shaoyun led Liu Qi all the way to the guest room, and just happened to see Tao opening the door.

Seeing Liu Qi coming behind Sun Shaoyun, Mrs. Tao was surprised and happy: "Fang Fu, you are back!"

Liu Qi nodded, then strode forward, passed by Sun Shaoyun, came to Tao, and asked, "How is Xinshan?"

Tao's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Divine Doctor Wang has already given Xinshan an injection, and the toxins in Xinshan's body seem to have subsided again. However, Divine Doctor Wang said that he has no way to detoxify, unless the person who poisoned her can be found."

After hearing that Xu Xinshan was fine, Liu Qi glanced at the haggard Tao, and then asked, "Is mother the only one who came to the Governor's Mansion?"

Tao shook her head: "Your father, Mr. Zhu and Zhili are all here."

The Mr. Bamboo mentioned by Tao is Qingzhuke.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi heard footsteps coming towards him.

"Hahaha..." A hearty laugh first fell into my ears.

Then a man walked into Liu Qi's sight with his head held high, and said loudly as he walked: "I am honored that the famous Overlord has visited my humble home!"

Tao whispered in Liu Qi's ear, "This is the Governor-General of Jiangnan, Sun Jiyun."

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and silently watched the man walk all the way until he reached Sun Shaoyun's side at the bottom of the stairs. Sun Jiyun just stopped, and then his eyes seemed to sweep over Sun Shaoyun, and a hint of displeasure in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Sun Jiyun did not stay beside Sun Shaoyun for too long. He stepped over the steps at the door and came close to Liu Qi. The moment he saw Liu Qi's face, the light in his eyes suddenly increased, but it quickly disappeared. Then he smiled warmly and said, "Mrs. Xu, Miss Xu."

After Sun Jiyun greeted everyone, several more people came hurriedly.

Among them were Xu Yongding, Qingzhuke and Tao Zhili.

Tao Zhili saw Sun Shaoyun standing at the steps at a glance, and his face suddenly turned cold, but Qingzhuke beside him gently pulled his sleeves, and Tao Zhili could only helplessly hide the unhappiness on his face.

Liu Qi looked at the Governor of Jiangnan in front of him, and then said in a deep voice: "Is the divine doctor Wang who gave Xinshan acupuncture here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Qi noticed that everyone, including Sun Jiyun, were looking at one person.

Liu Qi immediately turned his eyes to look at this person, and then asked softly: "Are you Divine Doctor Wang?"

The man was obviously a little overwhelmed, but he immediately bowed and said, "I am Wang Pu."

Wang Pu looked to be no more than thirty years old, and there was no Qi fluctuation in his body. It was obvious that he was not a martial arts master. Since he was the disciple of a miraculous doctor, why didn't he have any cultivation at all?

Liu Qi had some doubts in his heart, but he still said, "Come back to our mansion with us and stay for a few days. You can ask for the consultation fee."

Upon hearing this, Wang Pu looked up at Sun Jiyun beside Liu Qi in surprise.

Liu Qi immediately turned around and glanced at Sun Jiyun coldly, then said: "It seems that I still need to ask Master Sun what he thinks?"

Sun Jiyun still had a warm smile on his face: "Since Miss Xu has spoken, Mr. Wang, I think you should go back with Miss Xu and stay for a few days. It won't be too late to come back after the little girl gets better."

When Wang Pu saw Sun Jiyun speaking, he suppressed his doubts, looked at Liu Qi and nodded: "I'll go get ready."

Sun Jiyun originally wanted to let Liu Qi stay at the Governor's Mansion for one night, but Liu Qi rejected him directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

At the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Sun Jiyun watched Liu Qi and his party leave, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Uncle, no matter how powerful Liu Qi is, she is just a gangster. Why do you have to be so polite to her?" Sun Shaoyun, who was standing behind Sun Jiyun, asked in confusion.

Sun Jiyun snorted coldly: "Jianghu grass... If you can chase this Miss Xu, I will give you my position as the governor of Jiangnan!"

Sun Shaoyun's eyes brightened up when he heard this, but then he remembered the rumors about Liu Qi, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. Then he bowed and replied, "My nephew was just talking nonsense, I hope you don't take it to heart."

Sun Jiyun said coldly: "You are talking nonsense, I am telling the truth."

Sun Jiyun looked at his respectful nephew, then looked away with some disappointment. Liu Qi's face appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

If I were thirty years younger, I could give this beauty to others!
Sun Jiyun still retained a trace of self-awareness, even though there were women younger than Liu Qi in his backyard.

But Sun Jiyun knew better than anyone that the reason those women slept with a man older than their fathers was simply because they coveted the power in his hands.

But Liu Qi doesn't need to covet power, she herself is power!

……

After returning to Changle Street, Liu Qi asked Doctor Wang to examine Xu Xinshan again.

The diagnosis result was naturally exactly the same as before. The poison in Xinshan's body was like a cancer attached to her bones. Although it would not endanger her life in the short term, it was incurable.

Wang Pu said earnestly: "If we knew what kind of poison the little girl was infected with, maybe there would be a glimmer of hope for her survival."

Liu Qi asked casually, "Has Doctor Wang ever heard of the Fengdu Ghost Cave?"

Wang Pu's face changed drastically when he heard this: "Have you been to a ghost den?"

Seeing his panicked expression, Liu Qi knew that he might know something about the ghost den, so he continued, "The poison in Xinshan's body was planted by someone in the ghost den."

Wang Pu's eyes widened instantly, and then he couldn't help but take two steps back, until he leaned against the edge of the bed where Xu Xinshan was lying, and only then stopped retreating.

He swallowed with some effort, then pursed his lips and said, "This is not surprising. Master once said that in remote places, there must be rare and precious things in the world. These things can be used to make medicine to save people, and naturally they can also be used to make poison to kill people!"

However, Liu Qi disagreed with Wang Pu's statement, because the toxins in Xu Xinshan's body could not be absorbed by Yueya.

In other words, the toxins in Xu Xinshan's body are not natural.

Therefore, the poison that Xu Xinshan was poisoned with was most likely the likes of the Corpse Palm, a poison that was artificially created.

"Do you know how to get to the ghost den?" Liu Qi's coldness disappeared, and then he asked in a deep voice.

Of course she doesn't mind sending those who dare to threaten her to become real ghosts.

Wang Pu shook his head: "I have also heard Master occasionally mention his experience of collecting herbs in the ghost den."
