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

Chapter 374 Gu Jiu
After Liu Qi pondered for a moment, he gently exerted force with his hand, and the white porcelain bottle instantly turned into powder and dissipated into the air without even a sound.

When Bai Ze saw this scene, his eyes couldn't help but become stern.

Liu Qi gently shook off the remaining dust on his hands and said softly, "The capital city is indeed a place of trouble. I think if Xiao Qifeng stays here for a few more years, Cang Hai Heng Liu will make a move and I'm afraid it will be the size of a bathtub."

"You stayed in the capital just to fight the emperor?" Bai Ze asked in a deep voice.

Liu Qi raised his head and replied: "If I say that my coming to the capital was just an accident, would you believe it?"

Bai Ze was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said slowly: "Since we are already here, let's just wait and see what tricks these people can come up with."

Bai Ze frowned and said, "Rescue Fu Zhuocheng in Tianhong Tower..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt an invisible majesty descending upon him in an instant, which made him speechless for a moment. Then he looked up and saw Liu Qi's pair of bright eyes staring at him quietly.

"You are really not as smart as Yinglong." Liu Qi stared into Bai Ze's eyes and said slowly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with. Is it so difficult to do such a simple thing?"

As Liu Qi finished speaking, the invisible power pressing on him quietly dissipated. Bai Ze's face changed, and then he turned around and quietly left the room.

Liu Qi was left alone in the room, sighing: "How rude."

Bai Ze went downstairs with a solemn expression. As soon as he walked out of the stairs, he saw the female owner of the restaurant looking at him with a smile.

The door of the restaurant had been closed. In the lobby, seven or eight people had their hands and feet tied up, their mouths stuffed with black cloth, and were thrown on the ground in a mess.

When these people saw Bai Ze, they immediately became agitated and made noises of "wuwuwu", but as Bai Ze glanced at them coldly, they all quieted down again.

"Thank you, General Bai Ze, for your help!" Chunyan bowed to Bai Ze and thanked him generously.

Bai Ze glanced upstairs, then replied calmly: "If you want to thank someone, thank your young lady."

Chunyan's smile widened: "After all, it was General Bai Ze who did it himself."

As she spoke, she looked back at the group of people on the ground, and then asked with a smile: "How should we deal with these people? Does General Bai Ze have any plans?"

Bai Ze shook his head: "It's up to you."

"Then I will deal with it myself." Chunyan seemed to have expected him to say this. Her eyes suddenly brightened and the smile on her lips became even brighter.

But Chunyan turned around, her expression had already faded, replaced by a grim and cold face: "Break all the limbs of everyone and send them back to where they came from!"

As soon as the words fell, the group of spies on the ground showed expressions of fear, and began to make restless noises again.

However, Chunyan's men were not so polite. Two sturdy men wearing bibs who looked like they had just come out of the kitchen, one holding a wooden stick as thick as his arm, walked towards the tied-up spies with a grin on their faces.

"Ah! ah! ah—"

Along with the crisp sound of bones breaking, heart-wrenching wails came from downstairs.

Liu Qi, who was playing with the killing knife in the room, had a calm expression on his face and was not affected at all.

After a while, Chunyan pushed open the door and replied to Liu Qi respectfully, "Miss, the people have been dealt with. I took the initiative to break their limbs and send them back to their original owners."

Liu Qi kept his eyes fixed on the killing knife in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

Chunyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and then said in a deep voice: "Miss, among these spies, two of them claim to be Xu Guozhang's men."

Liu Qi's movements froze: "You let them go?"

Chunyan quickly shook her head and denied: "No, they also broke their legs and sent them back."

Liu Qi then raised his eyes to look at Chunyan, and then said seriously: "Very good."

Chunyan was overjoyed by such concise praise. She suppressed her inner joy and continued, "Miss, these people are just pawns. I have asked about the forces behind them one by one..."

Zheng——

Before Chunyan finished speaking, she suddenly heard an extremely subtle buzzing sound in her ears. However, when this buzzing sound entered her ears, her heartstrings trembled uncontrollably. In an instant, her whole body felt like she was falling into an ice cellar, and endless coldness rushed in from all directions.

She looked up suddenly and saw her young lady sitting behind the table, holding a wooden sword with the blade pointing at her.

"Let them be." Liu Qi said softly as he slowly retracted the killing knife, "This is a killing knife, not a pig-killing knife."

Since Liu Qi dared to show up so openly, he was not afraid of others' prying eyes.

Even now, there are countless pairs of eyes staring outside Chunyue Restaurant.

The reason why Liu Qi asked Bai Ze to deal with these spies in the restaurant was that he felt that they were a little noisy. After all, the cicadas outside the window could be tolerated, but the cicadas in the room had to be dealt with.

As Liu Qi retracted the killing knife, the coldness surrounding her body quickly receded like a tide. Chunyan breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been reborn, then she respectfully responded with a "yes" and retreated.

Although Liu Qi told her not to pay attention to these peeping people, the cautious Chunyan still did not dare to be careless. She called back most of the people scattered in the capital, disguised them as customers and vendors, and waited around the restaurant.

As a result, early the next morning, the forces behind the spies who were sent back last night sent people to deliver cartloads of gifts, saying that their subordinates were ignorant and disturbed the restaurant owner's business, so they sent gifts to apologize.

Chunyan naturally knew who the "restaurant owner" they were talking about was, so she sent someone to move the gifts to Liu Qi's room. Naturally, Liu Qi returned them intact.

"Keep the things for yourself and tell them to get out of here right away." Chunyan smiled slightly after receiving Liu Qi's instructions, and then drove these people out of the restaurant.

Liu Qi stood by the window, watching the carriages leaving the restaurant.

creak-

There was the sound of a door opening behind me.

Liu Qi said, "South City seems to be a lot more chaotic than before. Today, three waves of people came to give gifts."

When Liu Qi first came to Beijing, South City was still dominated by the Black Snake Gang's old Black Snake.

"Since the death of the general, there have been many more martial artists in the capital. Now the water in the south city is much deeper than before." Chunyan's voice came from behind. Seeing that Liu Qi remained calm, Chunyan continued with a smile: "Miss, you may not know that Old Black Snake has returned to the martial arts world, but he is not the leader of the Black Snake Gang now, but the leader of the Beijing branch of the Beggar Gang."

"That black carriage was sent by Old Black Snake."

……

After leaving the restaurant, the black carriage drove all the way to the South Gate, turned a small road after leaving the city gate, and finally stopped in front of the gate of a land temple after nightfall.

A strong man in a tattered short coat got off the carriage, walked straight through the temple gate and came to the main hall dedicated to the God of Land. Every door the strong man passed along the way was guarded by men in short coats.

"Captain!" The sturdy man knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the room. "I accept the gift, but I have not seen Liu Qi in person."

The high platform in the main hall of the palace, where the God of Land should have been enshrined, was now replaced by an armchair with a tiger skin cushioned on it. A thin old man was lying on the chair, holding a wine jug in one hand and a half-eaten roast chicken in the other.

Hearing the words of the sturdy man, the old man suddenly sat up straight, then took a big bite of the roast chicken, and cursed while wolfing it down: "Damn, this stinky woman didn't know how she got such a good set of martial arts, but she installed it, ugh!"

The old man spat again, and his saliva, along with the minced chicken, fell on the head of the sturdy man in the hall. The sturdy man still knelt on one knee with an expressionless face and did not move at all.

The old man's slightly cloudy eyes flickered for a moment, and then he turned his head and asked in a shadowed corner: "Gu Jiu, you once met Liu Qi with the gang leader at Sihai Villa, what do you think?"

As the old man finished speaking, a figure slowly walked out from the shadow in the corner. The candlelight in the hall bathed her body. It was a woman with a wine gourd bigger than her head hanging around her waist.

"Old Black Snake, I have long advised you not to pay attention to her. Although Liu Qi is extremely skilled in martial arts and ruthless, she would not have come to you if you hadn't provoked her."

Gu Jiu said with a disdainful sneer: "I think you have been in the prison for too long and have forgotten all the rules of the martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, Old Black Snake's face darkened instantly, and even the sturdy man kneeling in front of him changed his expression instantly. Everyone in the entire branch knew that the leader hated others mentioning his experience of being imprisoned in the Sky Prison the most.

"Okay, get out of here first." The old black snake waved his hand impatiently, signaling the strong man to go out first.

After the sturdy man left the hall, the old black snake jumped down from the high platform and came in front of Gu Jiu. With a gleam in his turbid eyes, he looked up and down at Gu Jiu's curvy figure from head to toe.

"Hehe..." The old black snake licked his lips and then laughed obscenely, "I haven't seen you for so many years. Gu Jiu has grown into a big girl."

Facing such blatant teasing from Old Black Snake, Gu Jiu simply cast her eyes expressionlessly down: "Old Black Snake, if you still want to touch a woman in this life, keep your mouth clean!"

Old Black Snake's expression froze at first, and the anger in his eyes disappeared in an instant. Then he smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding. You are the apple of the boss' eye. Even if I, Old Black Snake, am extremely daring, I would not dare to have any ideas about you!"

"But..." Old Black Snake suddenly changed the subject and said with a malicious smile, "There is a letter from Jiangnan saying that Deputy Gang Leader Xiu has teamed up with the elders to seize Gu Liancheng's position as gang leader. As Gu Liancheng's adopted daughter, why are you coming to my capital instead of looking for your adoptive father?"

Gu Jiu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Old Black Snake, do you want to feel my Gu Jiu's Dragon Yuan Tian Gang?"

Hearing the words Long Yuan Tian Gang, Old Black Snake's face suddenly became serious. He quietly took two steps back, increasing the distance between him and Gu Jiu. Then, seeing that Gu Jiu did not move, he smiled with relief: "It was just a joke. I, Old Black Snake, am a man of great loyalty. For the support of the gang leader, you, Gu Jiu, can rest assured to stay in the capital. I guarantee that Jiangnan will not get any news about you!"

Watching Gu Jiu leave the hall, the old black snake's face gradually became gloomy. Then he brought the roast chicken in his hand to his mouth and took a bite expressionlessly. He seemed to think that the roast chicken was already cold, and immediately spat it out with a "Pooh".

"Fuck you, I'm going to kill you sooner or later!"

Gu Jiu went all the way back to a room in the backyard of the land temple.

The moment she entered the room and closed the door, her body swayed involuntarily, and then a cold aura emanated from her body uncontrollably.

Gu Jiu quickly took out a pill from his arms and swallowed it. As the pill entered his stomach, the abnormally restless and cold aura on his body seemed to calm down a lot, but it still continued to overflow from his body.

sizzle-

As the cold air gradually spread outward, a thin layer of frost began to form on the door, walls, and windows.

boom!
At this moment, the only window was broken, and a figure instantly appeared beside Gu Jiu.

As a hand touched Gu Jiu's back, the cold and gloomy aura that had spread throughout the room instantly gathered into Gu Jiu's body.

"Um--"

The moment the breath entered his body, Gu Jiu couldn't help but raise his head and let out a soft moan.

The mysterious man immediately withdrew his hand, and after watching Gu Jiu sit cross-legged and start practicing Qi, he said, "After fighting with Liu Qi, the Taiyin Qi in your body has become abnormally agitated. If your Long Yuan Tian Gang can't suppress the Taiyin Qi, you should know better than me what the consequences will be."

"You should leave the capital tomorrow." The mysterious man said slowly.

"No!"

Gu Jiu closed his eyes and replied resolutely.

The mysterious man did not respond immediately, but stood quietly behind Gu Jiu, watching him practice his skills.

As Gu Jiu slowly pressed her hands down from her chest, the last breath that lingered outside her body returned to her body. She slowly opened her eyes and said without looking back, "I can't kill him with my own hands. Even if I live in this world, I will never have peace in my life."

"Hey--"

The mysterious man sighed: "Why are you doing this? He will be dead on the day the Nine Cauldrons are reunited. Is it so important to kill him with your own hands?"

"Of course!" Gu Jiu said angrily, gritting his teeth.

After a brief silence, the mysterious man slowly said, "Since you insist on staying in the capital..."

The mysterious man threw something at Gu Jiu, and then said in a deep voice: "The three pills in the box can protect your heart meridian, but they only last for fifteen breaths. If you don't stop within fifteen breaths, the Taiyin Qi will break through your heart meridian. By then, even the Great Luo Immortal will find it difficult to save you."

Gu Jiu's eyes lit up immediately: "Fifteen breaths, that's enough!"

"Gu Jiu." The mysterious man sighed softly, "Being too obsessed with the past will only make you complacent and trapped in your heart, which is not good for you and your cultivation."

But Gu Jiu obviously did not take the mysterious man's advice to heart. She carefully put the box into her arms. However, when her hand accidentally touched the gourd on her waist, the crazy smile on her face suddenly froze.

Her hand hung on the gourd for a long time, and finally fell down.

Gently stroking the wine gourd in her hand, Gu Jiu's eyes gradually became cold, and a murderous aura emanated from her.
