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

Chapter 328 Recognition
It's early morning.

Several riders and horses came out of the east gate and disappeared in a cloud of dust.

The military commander on duty at the city gate today rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the flying dust on the official road in the distance, and immediately entered the city, found a fast horse and went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

When Sun Jiyun learned that Liu Qi had left the city, it was already noon.

He waved his hand, signaling the military leader who came to report to leave first, and then asked the man sitting upright in the hall: "Brother Longcheng, do you think Wang Pu can persuade Liu Qi?"

The man sitting in the hall tilted his head slightly, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes looked solemn. He was wearing a tight-fitting purple brocade robe, which showed off his sturdy figure to the fullest. His whole body revealed an aura of majesty without anger. This aura alone made him look more noble than Sun Jiyun, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall.

This person is none other than the leader of the Qizhou Daxia Gang, Ouyang Longcheng.

"Wang Pu is nothing. He just worked as a handyman for Yuan Tong for a few days. How could he have the ability to let such a top master work for him!" Ouyang Longcheng spoke with full of arrogance. "I think Liu Qi must have left the city in a hurry to go to the Kongsang Fairy Boat."

After hearing what Ouyang Longcheng said, Sun Jiyun's frown relaxed a little, and then he smiled: "That's true, Miss Gongsun has been trapped in the mansion by King Liu for several days."

"By the way, it seems that Miss Gongsun is among the people leaving the city today."

Sun Jiyun smiled and continued to say to Ouyang Longcheng: "Brother Longcheng, I heard that you also have a Kongsang Immortal Order. I wonder when you are going to set off."

When Ouyang Longcheng heard Sun Jiyun mention the "Kongsang Immortal Order", his face visibly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "I don't need to worry about my private affairs, Governor Sun."

Sun Jiyun's eyes flashed with annoyance for a moment, but he said with a smile on his face: "Since Brother Longcheng doesn't want to mention it, then Sun won't ask."

"But..." Sun Jiyun suddenly changed the subject, his tone becoming more serious, "Brother Longcheng, I heard that the 'Empress Tianxiang' escaped from you, is this true?"

Ouyang Longcheng's face was instantly covered with a layer of haze, and his eyes flickered with a hint of coldness: "Governor Sun is really well-informed."

Sun Jiyun raised his head slightly and replied with a fake smile: "After all, this involves the lives and property of many people. There are some things that Sun cannot be careless about."

As he spoke, his eyes gleamed, "Without that 'Empress Tianxiang', Brother Longcheng, can you be sure to control the hundreds of thousands of Wenxiang Sect followers?"

Ouyang Longcheng responded, "Governor Sun, don't worry about this little thing. Since I can gather hundreds of thousands of followers, I will naturally have a way to make them obey my orders."

Ouyang Longcheng stood up and bowed to Sun Jiyun: "Governor Sun is busy with official duties, I will not disturb you any more!"

After saying this, without waiting for Sun Jiyun's response, Ouyang Longcheng strode out of the lobby.

Sun Jiyun watched Ouyang Longcheng leave until the other person's figure disappeared from the door. The smile on his face froze instantly, and the coldness in his eyes was unfathomable.

"When I succeed, I will kill him!"

……

“Gee! Gee! Gee!…”

At the door of a teahouse beside the official road, a waiter who was bored suddenly heard the sound of "clattering clattering" of horse hooves coming from afar. His brows were instantly filled with joy, and he straightened his body to welcome the arrival of the guests.

Soon, dust flew up from the corner of the official road not far away, and a woman in red was seen riding a horse towards them. Her graceful figure aroused people's reverie, and for a moment, the waiter was staring at her in a daze!
"Bring up the best food and wine in your restaurant. Also, feed the horses well. If anything goes wrong, I'll burn down this shabby restaurant of yours!"

It was not until he heard a murderous voice in his ears that the waiter shuddered as if awakened from a dream. Then he looked up and happened to meet a pair of cold eyes.

A beautiful lady with a charming appearance was looking at him with a ferocious look on her face.

The waiter didn't know whether he was frightened or just stared in a daze, he just stood there in a daze.

Liu Qi arrived at this time, and when she got off the horse, she saw this scene.

It’s no wonder that the waiter behaved so stupidly. After all, there are not many women as hot-tempered and beautiful as Liu Shijiu.

Fortunately, the waiter finally came to his senses. He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the people coming towards him. His pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme, and then he quickly lowered his head, while at the same time not forgetting to stroke his pounding heart with his hand.

Oh my god, could it be that I ran into a fairy today?
"What are you still standing here for? Go and get ready!" Gongsun You came up and shouted, and the waiter quickly turned around and ran towards the tavern.

Soon, an old man with a weathered face came out. When he saw the people coming in, his eyes lit up instantly. However, the old man also caught a glimpse of the weapons on them. Then he quickly lowered his head and respectfully welcomed them in.

"Ladies, please come in!"

Gongsun You and Liu Nineteen, who were standing at the front, looked at each other, and then turned back to look at Liu Qi at the same time.

Liu Qi also understood what they meant, and immediately took the lead and entered the tavern.

Gongsun You followed closely behind. Liu Shijiu stood there and waited for a while, until he caught a glimpse of Zhou Mi and Xu Yongding and his wife coming side by side. Then he curled his lips and walked straight into the tavern.

When Liu Qi stepped into the tavern, he was welcomed by all the guests as usual.

She was already used to it, and her eyes swept across the narrow lobby of the tavern, finally locking onto an empty round table in the corner.

After several people sat down at the table, Tao handed the water to Liu Qi beside her and whispered, "I think it's better to change your clothes. You've been too conspicuous along the way!"

Tao was also from a family of detectives. Although she had never officially entered the underworld, she was well aware of how dangerous it was. Most of the women in her group were beautiful women, so how could they not attract the covetousness of people with ulterior motives?

Of course, Tao also knew about her daughter's martial arts skills, but she thought it was better to have less trouble than more.

Xu Yongding, who was sitting next to his wife, nodded in agreement. Since entering the tavern, his eyes had never stopped moving, and he had been alert to his surroundings.

There were only seven or eight tables in the lobby of the tavern. In addition to the full table occupied by Liu Qi and her friends, there were five other tables with people on them. The guests at three of the tables were obviously carrying weapons and had a rough air about them. It was obvious that they were not good people!
Compared to her parents, Liu Qi seemed much calmer. Facing her mother's suggestion, she just said "hmm" perfunctorily, and then picked up the dried fruits on the table and put them into her mouth.

Liu Nineteen, who was sitting opposite her, said with disdain: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry. If we have to hide when we go out, then our martial arts training will be in vain!"

After saying that, he glanced around disdainfully, especially lingering for a while at the tables of those who were obviously Jianghu people, and then said coldly: "If you are in a hurry to reincarnate, you can come and try."

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but loud enough for people at the surrounding tables to hear.

The faces of the gangsters at those tables changed visibly, and some even cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! Where did these little bitches come from? They are more arrogant than me!"

Of course, some people noticed that Liu Qi and her group were not simple, and whispered to remind them: "It is better to be careful, I can't see through any of these women!"

Of course I can’t see through it.

Except for Zhou Mi whose martial arts were abolished.

Even Xu Yongding and Tao, relying on their family martial arts, can barely be called good fighters! As for the other three, Liu Qi, Liu Shijiu and Gongsun You, let alone!
Liu Shijiu, who has the lowest martial arts skills among the three, is a genuine first-class master. If she takes action, as she just said at the door, she can wipe out the entire tavern without leaving a single survivor!
Of course, Liu Qi and the others are not devils.

Just watch from a distance, even if the look is a little obscene, or you say a few dirty words to yourself, it's okay.

Liu Qi’s only bottom line: Don’t dance in front of me!
In fact, the gang of gangsters in the tavern didn't have the guts to provoke Liu Qi and her group.

Although everyone likes stunning beauties, everyone has a brain and everyone knows that a stunning beauty who dares to travel around the world so openly is definitely not a good person!
Soon the shopkeeper served all the dishes to Liu Qi and the others on the table.

Just as Xu Yongding was holding the silver needle to test the poison, Liu Qi had already put a piece of it into his mouth with chopsticks. After chewing it a few times and swallowing it, he immediately said to his embarrassed father, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

Hearing this, Liu Nineteen picked up some food while muttering, "How dare you poison me? I'll burn this place down!"

Tao looked at Liu Nineteen with a worried look on her face: Why is this child so irritable after leaving home? He always kills and burns people.

Halfway through the meal, Gongsun You suddenly frowned, then slowly looked out the door.

Soon after, the other people at the table also heard the noise coming from far away outside. The source of the sound should be from the direction of the official road. Listening to the gradually clearer voices of people and horses, there should be a lot of people coming!

"Uu——"

Soon the group of people arrived at the door of the tavern, and then the waiter who had gone out to greet them staggered back in from outside the door, and then fell heavily on his butt!

At this moment, a tall figure emerged from the doorway, and he stepped over the threshold while cursing non-stop: "What a shabby place, there's not enough room for me to live in. Even if the place I want to live in is the High Heaven Palace, you have to make room for me!"

After saying this, the man had already stood still in the hall. Then, his eyes like a wild beast swept around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and then his gaze fell on Liu Qi's table.

"Oh my God!" He rubbed his eyes, obviously not being able to believe his eyes, but then he found that the women at that table were real, he immediately grinned and revealed a lustful look.

"Hehehe..." An obscene smile just appeared on this person's face, and suddenly his eyes fell on the Jingji Knife that Liu Qi placed on the table, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Gudong!" His Adam's apple rolled and he felt his mouth dry!
I was screaming in my heart: I can't be so unlucky, could it be that I didn't pray to the gods when I went out today, and ran into this unlucky star!

In an instant, the tall man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and even his legs began to tremble slightly.

This scene was naturally seen by the people at several tables at the door. They were all puzzled, wondering why the strong man who was so arrogant just now now looked so timid and wretched.

Liu Qi never raised her head to look at the door from beginning to end. She held a piece of tender white flesh between her chopsticks and hovered it in front of her eyes. Then she slowly raised her eyes to look towards the door.

"what--"

The moment the sturdy man at the door saw Liu Qi's face, the sturdy man, whose head was almost as tall as the door, suddenly softened and sat on the ground, letting out a shrill wail!
"Crack! Crack!"

The sturdy man jumped up, then slapped himself twice with lightning speed, and said dejectedly while hitting himself:

"I was impulsive and didn't know you were here. If I have offended you, I hope you will be magnanimous and spare my life!"

Liu Qi lowered his eyes slightly, and looked from under the piece of fish held by his chopsticks to the burly man at the door.

Did she... just do anything?

Gongsun You, who was sitting next to him, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he understood something, and then whispered to the strong man: "Were you also present at the battle in Jiangnan?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The sturdy man nodded like a garlic. "I was there too, and I witnessed how my aunt acted like a deity, beheading that Jiang guy with one blow..."

"Enough!" A sudden shout plunged the lobby of the tavern into deathly silence.

The sturdy man held his breath and his face turned red.

When Liu Qi heard him calling her "aunt" left and right, she felt annoyed and immediately shouted to stop him.

At this time, someone outside the door seemed to have noticed something was wrong in the tavern, so he walked to the door and saw the strong man groveling and almost dropped his tongue in shock:
"Third Master, you..."

"Get out! Get out!" The man at the door didn't even finish his words before he was frightened by the burly man's roars and stood there in a daze. Then he didn't care what happened and turned around and ran to the place where the large group was outside the tavern!
"You go away too!" Liu Qi said lightly upon seeing this, then put the fish into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The sturdy man felt relieved when he heard this, tears almost fell from the corners of his eyes, and he retreated almost in a flash.

As soon as he walked out of the tavern, he saw several people coming in front of him. His heart skipped a beat and he hurried forward. Before he got close, he shouted loudly: "Brother, hurry up, the tyrant who killed Jiang Jiyu is inside!"

The group of people coming towards us was led by a middle-aged man with an ordinary build and features, and a beard on his upper jaw.

When the middle-aged man heard the strong man's voice, he immediately raised his hand and signaled the people around him to stop.

When the strong man came to him panting, he asked with a sullen face, "Old Third, tell me clearly, who is in this tavern?"

"Liu Qi!" The third brother let out a long sigh and uttered those two words!

After hearing Liu Qi's name, the middle-aged man's pupils trembled violently, and then he said in a trembling voice: "Go, go now, don't stay here!"

At this moment, just behind the middle-aged man, a girl who looked about seven or eight years old was listening with her ears pricked up.

"Liu Qi..." The girl murmured the name she had just heard, and then a cunning look flashed in her eyes. She then glanced at the man who was watching her beside her, frowned and hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted her teeth, put her white little hand into her mouth, and bit it hard.

"Hiss——" The girl whimpered in pain, then lowered her eyes to look at the bite mark on the back of her hand. A trace of blood had already flowed out from the scar.

The girl grinned instantly when she saw this.

A faint fragrance emanated from the air.

In the tavern, Liu Qi, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly frowned, and then his nose twitched slightly.

"Do you smell anything?" Liu Qi asked.

Everyone at the table shook their heads, except Gongsun You, who frowned slightly, looked directly into Liu Qi's eyes and said in a deep voice, "What a strange fragrance..."

It seems that it is not my illusion.

Liu Qi glanced sideways towards the outside of the house. The group of people who had originally stayed outside had already gone far away.
