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

Chapter 325 Greedy
Sun Jiyun of Jinshan Yinhai Manor held his breath instantly. When he looked up at Liu Qi, he met Liu Qi's cold eyes.

Sun Jiyun lowered his head as if he had been electrocuted. In addition to his horror, he realized that his situation was the same as Zhou Xianzong on the ground. His life and death depended on the blink of an eye of the woman in front of him.

This feeling of being at the mercy of others was the most humiliating thing he had ever experienced in his life!

Following the subtle crisp sound, Liu Qi looked at Sun Jiyun's hands hanging at his sides. They were now curled into fists, and the backs of his hands seemed a little pale as they trembled slightly from exerting too much force.

"Governor Sun..." Liu Qi hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Before you leave, please clean up these dirty things you brought with you."

After saying that, he turned around, narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a signal look to Zhou Mi who was standing in front of the steps, and then the two of them entered the room together.

Sun Jiyun kept his head down until he caught a glimpse of Liu Qi entering the room. He then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhou Xianzong lying on the ground with a complicated expression.

The person has already become a corpse.

Although he knew that Zhou Xianzong would surely die on this trip, Sun Jiyun felt a sense of sadness, wondering if he would be abandoned by Jinshan Yinhai Manor one day just like Zhou Xianzong.

Sun Jiyun stood in the courtyard for a long time, shook his head and sighed, then he took the initiative to pick up Zhou Xianzong's body and left alone.

At this time, Zhou Mi, who was standing at the door, saw Sun Jiyun leave through the crack in the door, and turned around and sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhou Xianzong would be favored by the people of Jinshan Yinhai Manor."

"It's just a tool that can be discarded at any time." Liu Qi said slowly while holding a delicate porcelain cup, "It seems that our previous view of Jinshan Yinhai Manor was wrong. Everything he did was probably just to prevent someone from climbing to the last peak of martial arts."

Zhou Mi frowned upon hearing this, then slowly walked to Liu Qi's side, sat down, and asked curiously, "What kind of existence is this so-called last peak of martial arts that you mentioned?"

Liu Qi thought for a while with a serious expression, then took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I don't know."

Zhou Mi curled his lips and said, "Even you don't know, is there anyone in Jinshan Yinhai Manor who has higher martial arts skills than you?"

Liu Qi shook his head: "It should be impossible. If there were such a master in Jinshan Yinhai Manor, there would be no need to collude with Sun Jiyun, the Black Prison King and the like. After the decisive battle with Jiang Jiyu that day, I should have encountered more than just the clown sharpening old man."

"But one thing is certain." Liu Qi continued with a serious look, "Someone in Jinshan Yinhai Manor should know what the last peak of martial arts is like, and... this existence is definitely harmful rather than beneficial to most people in the world!"

In fact, Liu Qi already had some vague guesses, but before someone reached that peak, guesses were just guesses.

Judging from the layout of Jinshan Yinhai Manor, they have determined that Xiao Qifeng is the person in the world most likely to reach this realm.

And now, Liu Qi seems to have been regarded by them as a possible partner for cooperation.

boom!
The hand holding the cup suddenly clenched into a fist.

Zhou Mi was startled by the sudden loud crisp sound, then turned his head and saw fine sand-like powder slowly falling from Liu Qi's hands.

She immediately muttered in a low voice: "What madness again!"

Liu Qi shook his hands calmly, then picked up a cup from the table again. As he poured himself tea, anger flashed in his eyes.

Jinshan Yinhai Manor’s judgment may not be wrong.

But it was precisely because of this that Liu Qi felt unhappy from the bottom of his heart!
……

When Sun Jiyun walked out of the gate of Xu's mansion with Zhou Xianzong's body, he was seen by two people in a narrow alley diagonally across the street.

"Why did this Sun guy come out carrying someone?" The person who spoke had a black mask on his face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

This person is Liu Er.

Next to Liu Er, the bored girl with her hands around a dagger glanced at him and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you disappointed to see Sun Jiyun walk out in such a hurry?"

Liu Er smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Nineteen, you are joking. Whether Sun Jiyun lives or dies is your sister Liu Qi's business. How dare I dictate things to you?"

When Liu Jiujiu heard Liu Er addressing him and Liu Qi, he immediately felt a deep chill, and then the disdain in his eyes became stronger: "Liu Er, when did you become so slick!"

"Of course it's fun for you to just draw your sword and chop people with Liu Qi on weekdays." Liu Er replied with a fake smile, "There are many things I need to consider. How about it, Nineteenth Sister, do you want to work for Second Brother? I promise you will be rich and prosperous and have endless money to spend every day!"

"You should keep it and burn it for yourself in the future." Liu Shijiu responded bluntly.

Then she saw through the crack in the door that Sun Jiyun had gone far away, so her face became serious and she said in a deep voice: "The man surnamed Sun has gone far away, let's go in."

"Yeah." Liu Er nodded in response.

The two of them walked across the street one after the other, and when they arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion, Nineteen stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the red-painted door twice.

creak-

The door opened in response. When the doorman saw that the person knocking on the door was Liu Nineteen, his eyes lit up immediately. He then hurriedly pushed both doors open completely, then bowed to Liu Nineteen and said with a smile: "Miss Nineteen, you are back."

Liu Nineteen nodded with a cold face, then took Liu Er and went straight to the backyard.

Liu Er looked at the servants along the way and their respectful attitude when they met Liu Nineteen. He couldn't help but move his eyes slightly, and then laughed softly from behind: "It seems that Liu Qi treats you very well. The servants of the Xu Mansion treat you like their own lady."

Upon hearing this, Liu Nineteen said with disdain: "If Liu Qi heard this, she would probably laugh at you for not being able to distinguish the primary from the secondary."

As he spoke, Liu Nineteen raised his left hand, shook the short knife in his hand, and then said proudly: "The reason why these servants are so respectful to me is because I have this."

Seeing this, Liu Er couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, then shook his head and said softly: "I think you can't tell the difference between fear and respect."

After saying this, Liu Er couldn't help but think of his subordinates in the Jinma Chamber of Commerce. The look in their eyes when they looked at him contained nothing but fear and greed.

However, the servants from the Xu Mansion that Liu Er had just met were different. The smiles on their faces when they saluted Liu Nineteen were not stiff and artificial, and some of the older people even had some kindness in their eyes.

These are absolutely impossible to do with the knife in Liu Shijiu's hand!
Just when Liu Er was lost in thought, Liu Shijiu had already brought him to Liu Qi's residence.

This small courtyard with only two rooms was originally chosen by Liu Qi himself. The reason for choosing this place was purely because it was far away from other houses in the mansion, and the courtyard was only separated from the martial arts field in the mansion by a wall. Liu Qi only needed to climb over the wall to practice sword in the spacious martial arts field.

Liu Qi had just returned from Zhou Mi's residence, and she bumped into Shijiu and his group at the gate of her yard.

Liu Qi saw Liu Er following behind Nineteen, and immediately stopped. When the two men approached, he said softly, "Now the old man sharpening the knife is dead. Although the Black Prison King escaped by chance, I cut off one of his arms. Even if he is not dead, his strength would be greatly reduced. It can be said that the Golden Horse Chamber of Commerce is now under your control. Whatever you want to do is your own business. You don't need to ask me, and you don't have to come to me in the future." It was obvious that these words were meant for Liu Er to hear.

Liu Er didn't seem surprised by this. He nodded slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face: "No matter what, you saved my life, I will definitely repay this favor!"

Liu Qi shook his head: "No need."

Seeing this, Liu Er's smile froze, his eyes flickered twice, and then his smile instantly returned to normal. He said in a gentle voice, "I plan to continue to cooperate with Sun Jiyun."

"I've said it before, it's your business what you do. I don't want to know and I don't want to ask." Liu Qi emphasized again, "Let's stop here today, Nineteen, send him out."

After saying that, Liu Qi walked towards the gate without looking back. He pushed the door open and then closed it with a clang.

As Liu Er watched the courtyard door close, the smile on his face instantly disappeared.

Liu Nineteen, who was standing by, saw Liu Er's expression and almost laughed out loud. Then she said with a gloating look on her face, "Let's go, Brother Liu Er. If you piss off our Overlord Liu, no one will collect your body here!"

Liu Er turned around and glared at Nineteen with a gloomy expression.

"Humph!"

Liu Shijiu wrinkled her nose slightly and stared back without flinching. At the same time, she suddenly raised her left hand and held the Han Shuo Knife, which was still in its sheath, across her body, as if she was ready to take action at any time.

Seeing this, Liu Er angrily swung his sleeves, then turned around and left alone.

Liu Nineteen was too lazy to see him off. After watching Liu Er's back disappear from her sight, she walked into the yard with a smug look on her face.

In the room, Liu Qi was wiping the handle of the Jingji Knife. When he heard the footsteps coming in, he asked without even looking up, "Are you fighting with Liu Er again?"

Back then in Xiliu Villa, Liu Er, as the eldest, was always in charge of many affairs in the villa when Madam Mei and Commander Chen were not around. However, Liu Shijiu, relying on Madam Mei's favor, was completely incompatible with Liu Er, and Liu Er couldn't do anything about her!
滂！
After Liu Shijiu came in, he sat down directly opposite Liu Qi, then slammed the Han Shuo Knife on the table, and then said with disdain: "Liu Er is like a different person now, timid and cowardly, not like a man!"

Liu Qi just silently glanced at the sword in front of Nineteen, then reached out and took it in front of him.

Liu Qi wiped the scabbard carefully and said softly, "Now that his family is big and his business is big, the burden on him is heavy, so naturally he can't draw his sword as he pleases like before."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi suddenly remembered what Liu Er said to him before leaving Xiliu Villa.

"I'm just afraid that Your Excellency's mission is not great enough and cannot give me everything I want."

Liu Qi still remembers vividly the greed in Liu Er's eyes at that time. He probably didn't expect that he would get his wish so soon and take the wealthy Jinma Chamber of Commerce into his arms.

I just wonder if he is content now!

Liu Qi wiped the scabbard and then reached out to grasp the handle.

Cang——

The faint sound of a sword echoed in the room, and the Han Shuo sword was unsheathed. The cold and shining blade immediately reflected Liu Qi's cold eyes.

Most of them are still not satisfied!

The reason why Liu Er is still willing to cooperate with Sun Jiyun is to seek the skin of a tiger.

Firstly, he was worried that he could not protect the Jinma Chamber of Commerce by himself.

Secondly, I want more!
Human greed is endless.

But I am the same!
Those who are greedy for fame and fortune are despicable!
And how should I describe someone like me who is obsessed with the illusory ultimate of martial arts?
……

Changle Street, Xu Mansion, in a room in the front yard.

Gongsun Yan,
Perhaps we should call her Gongsun You now.

She didn't know how long she had been imprisoned here.

The doors and windows were closed tightly. If it weren't for the sunlight shining through the gaps, Gongsun You would hardly be able to tell whether it was day or night.

She didn't see anyone except the old woman who brought her food and drink every day.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have collapsed long ago in such an environment.

But apart from the fact that her face was a little pale due to not seeing the sun for a long time, Gongsun You's mental state was as normal as ever. Except for meal times, she would sit on the hard wooden bed and meditate with her eyes closed.

All the tendons and veins in her body, big and small, were sealed by Liu Qi with his true qi, so the true qi in her body was now like a pool of stagnant water and could not circulate at all.

creak-

The door opened and a dim light fell on Gongsun You's face.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the person who came to deliver food today. Surprisingly, it was not the deaf-mute old woman she usually was.

Liu Qi came closer with a tray with three dishes and a soup. After placing the food in front of Gongsun You, she suddenly raised her hand and tapped Gongsun You a few times. A few strands of green light instantly emitted from her fingertips and sank into Gongsun You's body.

Gongsun You's body suddenly softened, but he did not fall down. Instead, he slowly sat up again. When he raised his head, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes for a moment.

Liu Qi stood quietly until the fluctuations of the Qi flowed through Gongsun You's body. Then she said calmly, "You really don't look like Gongsun Yan. If she had been locked up here for a few days, she would have cried and begged for mercy."

Gongsun You frowned slightly when he heard this: "I have told Miss Liu many times that my surname is Gongsun and my given name is You, and I don't know the Gongsun Yan that Miss Liu mentioned."

Liu Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said calmly, "Do all of you Xianfang disciples have the surname Gongsun?"

Gongsun You nodded slightly, but suddenly a sound came from his lower abdomen:
"Gu——".

Gongsun You's face suddenly turned red!
Liu Qi saw it and said calmly, "I asked the chef in the mansion to prepare it for you. Eat it while it's hot."
