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

Chapter 306: The Rising River
Liu Qi stood at the bow of a small fishing boat, moving slowly on the calm river.

"Girl, if you want to travel on the river, why don't you rent those pleasure boats?" the old boatman asked in confusion while rowing the boat.

The old boatman was an ordinary fisherman by the river. But this morning, a girl who looked like a fairy came and offered a silver ingot to rent his boat.

The old boatman was so frightened by the silver ingot that filled his entire palm that he stood there in a daze. It was not until he came to his senses that he realized something was wrong and saw the dagger at Liu Qi's waist.

But that ingot of silver was almost his income from fishing for a whole year.

The timid die when they are poor, and the bold die when they are rich!

The old boatman gritted his teeth and agreed.

As a result, the distinguished guest only asked him to row the small fishing boat to the middle of the river and had no other requirements.

The old boatman looked at Liu Qi, who had been standing at the bow since he got on the boat, and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, so he asked the question just now.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi turned his head and looked at the old boatman. The old boatman was stunned when he saw Liu Qi's profile.

Liu Qi said softly: "Aren't you afraid that you will never come back?"

A trace of fear flashed across the old boatman's face, and then he suddenly grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth: "If you're not afraid of such a beautiful girl, then what should I be afraid of at my age?"

Liu Qi looked out at the boundless river and replied, "My father-in-law is a smart man. He deserves to make money from this trip."

The old boatman smiled until his eyes narrowed. "That's because you are so generous, young lady. People like us can't earn as much money as you casually gave us today even if we work hard for a year!"

"Where does your father-in-law live and how many people are there in his family?" Liu Qi asked.

The old boatman's eyes flashed with surprise, but he pointed to the river bank behind him and replied honestly, "The old man lives in the village near the river. The woodshed at the entrance of the village is the old man's house."

The old boatman's mood suddenly became low, and then he shook his head and sighed: "The only one left at home is the old man, his grandson, and his grandson's mother."

Liu Qi looked at the blurry silhouette of the boat in the distance and said, "My father-in-law is very lucky. He still has grandchildren, so there is hope for succession."

The old boatman smiled bitterly and said, "This is the only hope I can have for the rest of my life!"

As he was speaking, the originally calm surface of the river suddenly began to ripple.

The old boatman straightened his clothes that were messed up by the river breeze, and looked up at Liu Qi at the bow. He saw Liu Qi's long black hair dancing in the wind and the hem of her skirt fluttering in the wind.

"Miss, the wind is strong on the river, why don't we turn back and go to the shore!" The old boatman advised loudly, but Liu Qi, who was standing at the bow, did not move.

As the wind on the river grew stronger, the old boatman could feel the boat shaking, so he once again loudly urged Liu Qi to turn back and dock, but still received no response.

Rumbling--

The white waves rose with the wind and surged forward with a dull sound. The huge waves almost reached the height parallel to the old boatman's shoulders!

The old boatman's face turned pale when he saw this. He no longer cared about Liu Qi on the bow and hurriedly rowed the oars hard, trying to drive the boat back to the shore.

But no matter how hard the old boatman tried, the boat still hovered on the river without moving. It was not until this time that the old boatman realized something was wrong, and then he looked around in panic.

"hiss--"

The old boatman widened his eyes and gasped.

His feeling was correct, the boat did not move. Even though a huge wave almost as tall as a person had just rolled over, the boat was still hovering in its previous position.

The old boatman looked horrified, then seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up at the bow of the boat.

The old boatman let go of the oars and tried to move forward, but was stopped by the violently shaking boat. He could only weakly grab the sides of the boat and looked at Liu Qi with despair on his face.

In the old boatman's rapidly dilating pupils, a huge ship was coming towards him.

The waves caused by the bow swept in, and the small fishing boat rose up and fell quickly like duckweed in the sea, but the figure at the bow remained motionless like a sculpture!
Just as the old boatman was wailing in his heart that he would not live long, suddenly everything around him returned to silence!
With the small fishing boat as the center, an invisible ripple spread out, and the surface of the river where the ripple passed instantly became as calm as a mirror.

Liu Qi slowly raised his head and looked at the huge warship, only to see a figure standing on the bow.

"Liu Qi?" The frail scholar standing at the bow of the huge warship spoke. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was extremely clear to Liu Qi's ears.

Liu Qi nodded and replied, "The dragon roars in the box, Shen Lin."

Shen Lin smiled faintly, and then said in a dark tone: "You are so brave, you killed the right protector of my Changle Gang, and you dare to wait here!"

Liu Qi replied softly: "Boss Shen is really brave. He dares to come here even though he knows that I, Liu Qi, am here."

Shen Lin's eyes narrowed instantly when he heard that, but the smile on his face did not fade. This combination made his face look a little hideous.

"Liu Qi." After a long silence, Shen Lin stared at Liu Qi and said in a deep voice, "You are not the best in the world yet!"

Liu Qi raised his eyes and looked back: "Boss Shen, you are not invincible in the world!"

click!
Shen Lin clenched his fists instantly, making a crisp sound.

Until now, he finally understood why Luo Yuyan, who had always been fearless, chose to retreat after hearing Liu Qi's name!
"Boss, this girl is too presumptuous!"

"Boss, give the order, let's charge over there. Can she stop all the warships by herself?"

……

The gang members behind him were chattering at the same time, which made Shen Lin's already depressed mood even more depressed.

"Shut up!" Shen Lin shouted, and the people behind him fell silent in an instant.

He slowly looked at the two sides of the fishing boat where Liu Qi was, and saw a circle with a radius of about five or six feet appearing on the river with the fishing boat as the center.

The river surface outside the circle was still full of waves, while the river surface inside the circle was as calm as a mirror.

Shen Lin narrowed his eyes slightly. At this moment, only he and Liu Qi knew that the contest between them had actually begun long ago!

Shen Lin's left hand couldn't help but retract into his sleeve. There was a square box hidden in the wide sleeve. Shen Lin's left hand was gently stroking the bottom of the square box.

There is no wrong name in the world.

The reason why Shen Lin is called Dragon's Sound in the Box is because he has been carrying a sword box with him since he was a teenager. It is an heirloom from his ancestors.

There are nine daggers of the same length in the sword box. Driving these nine daggers to fight against enemies from a distance is his ancestral martial art.

Nine swords come out at the same time, and one person forms a formation!
It's a family motto passed down from our ancestors.

Since Shen Lin became famous, he has never used the nine flying swords in the sword box at once. Even after he reached the top and became the leader of the Changle Gang, he rarely used the sword box.

But today... Shen Lin had a vague premonition in his heart.

If he wanted to fight this woman, he had to use all nine swords at once.

Thinking of this, the hand hidden in the sleeve suddenly grabbed the bottom of the sword case.

After a moment, he let go.

Shen Lin's eyes were fixed on Liu Qi's figure, with a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Although this woman is indeed hatefully arrogant, but the nine swords... are not meant for her!
Shen Lin slowly raised his right arm. The Changle Gang disciples who had kept their mouths shut behind him all showed anticipation on their faces, with fierce light flashing in their eyes, as if they were waiting for the leader's order to rush forward.

"Pass on the order from our gang leader, set sail... and return!"

As soon as Shen Lin finished speaking, the Changle Gang disciples behind him were stunned. Some of them bravely wanted to ask something, but were stopped by Shen Lin in a tone that could not be refused.

"Didn't you hear what the gang leader said?"

“But…” The disciples of Changle Gang were still puzzled. The gang leader had obviously arrived in person. Even if Liu Qi was an extremely skilled master, they had so many people and were therefore afraid!

Until someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Look!"

Everyone just leaned over to look into the distance, and saw mist on the river in the distance. In the mist, a dark shadow stretched tall and long, like a giant beast crawling forward.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the mist suddenly dissipated, and a huge ship broke through the waves and headed straight for them.

The disciples of the Changle Gang were suddenly in an uproar because they saw the familiar flag on the mast of a giant ship in the distance.

Feiyu Villa!

Jiang Jiyu stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, watching the huge ship of the Changle Gang and the insignificant little fishing boat getting closer and closer.

After a moment, he slowly raised one hand, and the rapidly advancing battleship slowed down until it finally stopped.

Jiang Jiyu smiled, his eyes passed over Liu Qi, then looked at Shen Lin on the opposite bow, and then laughed loudly: "Boss Shen is here, why don't you send someone to inform me, so that I can prepare some wine and food in advance to avoid poor hospitality!"

Shen Lin sneered with a dark look in his eyes and said, "Jiang Jiyu, it seems that you and Liu Qi really put on a good show and almost deceived all the heroes in the world!"

Jiang Jiyu's smile did not diminish: "I'm sorry that I don't understand what Gang Leader Shen meant."

"Hahaha..." Shen Lin sneered twice, "You are still pretending to be confused at this time. I think Feiyu Villa should be renamed Fox Villa in the future."

Shen Lin continued, "Wasn't it your order, Jiang Jiyu, that Liu Qi killed the right protector of my Changle Gang?"

"Oh?" Jiang Jiyu pretended to be surprised and said, "Speaking of which, I am also confused. Could it be that the death of Xue Pingyue was not caused by Miss Liu, who was asked by you, Gang Leader Shen?"

"This is really ridiculous!" Shen Lin waved his sleeves and said angrily, "Have I, Shen Lin, gone mad to send someone to kill my own right protector?"

Jiang Jiyu smiled and said, "I don't know whether Boss Shen is really crazy, but I think Guardian Xue must be crazy!"

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and Dugu Ming walked up to the bow of the boat, escorting someone.

Liu Qi looked back.

She had seen the man that Dugu Ming was holding. He was none other than Wang Daqian, the owner of Wanli Bank, and also the former leader of the Black Prison Gate, the Greedy Wolf!
Of course, all of this was what Wang Daqian said to Liu Qi himself, so it is unknown how credible it is.

Wang Daqian was carried to the bow by Dugu Mingti with a sad face. He saw Liu Qi on the small fishing boat at a glance, and then cried for help in a sobbing voice: "Seven Killing Order Master, please save me!"

Shen Lin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he shouted angrily: "Jiang Jiyu, you still say that you and Liu Qi are not in collusion. Everyone in the world knows that Liu Qi is the Seven Killings Master of the Black Prison Gate back then!"

Jiang Jiyu smiled confidently and said, "Boss Shen, don't forget that it was the knife sharpener from the Black Prison Gate who personally released the news, saying that Miss Liu was sentenced to leave the Black Prison Gate."

Shen Lin was speechless for a moment and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Sure enough, Jiang Jiyu turned to Wang Daqian and asked in a gentle voice: "Manager Wang, I wonder who you came to Su Jiang Mansion to see yesterday!"

Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly when she heard this. When she killed Xue Pingyue yesterday, she had already noticed that Xue Pingyue seemed to be waiting for someone, and wine and food were already prepared in the cabin.

Unexpectedly, the person I was waiting for was Wang Daqian!
Sure enough, Wang Daqian saw that Liu Qi ignored him. Facing Jiang Jiyu's question, he suddenly showed a look of horror and replied repeatedly: "It's Xue Pingyue. Xue Pingyue has colluded with Futian a long time ago. Futian promised to support him to sit on the position of leader of Changle Gang after the matter is accomplished!"

Shen Lin's pupils shrank slightly, the worst situation still occurred!

If Jiang Jiyu had not been standing next to the other party, he would have already planned to silence him as soon as Wang Daqian mentioned Futian!

pity……

Although Shen Lin knew that Xue Pingyue was a powerful man, it did not mean that he would be willing to make such a scandal public!
"What? The Right Protector is Futian's man?"

"No wonder the Right Protector died in Jiangnan. Could he have gone there to eliminate traitors for Futian?"

……

As Shen Lin expected, after learning that Xue Pingyue was a member of Futian, the morale of the Changle Gang began to waver.

He had indeed considered Xue Pingyue as the next leader of the gang, so he had been watching him recruit his confidants in the gang. He didn't expect that he would be so impatient...

Shen Lin couldn't help but feel fortunate. Although he was usually wary of Luo Yuyan's prestige in the gang, it was thanks to her at this moment that Xue Pingyue's exposure did not cause a bigger mess!
"Jiang has already prepared wine and food in Linxian Tower. I wonder if Boss Shen would do me the honor?" Jiang Jiyu's voice sounded again.

Shen Lin just felt it was a bit harsh, then turned around silently, said coldly to the gang members who were looking at him eagerly, "Go back", and walked straight towards the cabin.

Jiang Jiyu watched the Changle Gang's huge ship turn and slowly sail away for more than a hundred feet, and then he said loudly to Liu Qi on the small fishing boat: "Since Gang Leader Shen doesn't want to show his favor, then I'll have to trouble Miss Liu to prepare this table of delicious food and wine!"

Hearing this, Liu Qi turned to the old boatman who was completely stunned and said, "Old man, you can go back now."

After saying that, he jumped up from the spot and landed lightly on Jiang Jiyu's boat.

After standing still, Liu Qi looked around and saw that in addition to Jiang Jiyu and Dugu Ming on the bow, Fang Qingluan and Song Qing'er were also on the deck.

Liu Qi retracted his gaze and then said to Jiang Jiyu: "Sun Jiyun, do you want to solve it yourself, or should I do it?"

Jiang Jiyu seemed to have expected Liu Qi to say this. He smiled and shook his head: "It's unfortunate for our sect, so I'll do it myself."

Liu Qi nodded slightly, and then said in a cold tone: "I don't want to wait any longer."

Jiang Jiyu nodded: "Seven days, Jiang will keep the appointment in seven days."

Liu Qi's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, seven days later..."

She paused, then looked around at the river behind her, narrowed her eyes, and continued, "You and I will fight it out on this river!"
