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

Chapter 415: The Remains of the Water God
Before the four heads hit the ground, Liu Qi had already leaped out and plunged straight into the woods.

Under a tree, a half-naked man was pressing on a woman. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed across his neck. The man's body suddenly paused, and then his head fell to the ground with a thud.

The woman, who had already become numb, looked at the smooth cross-section of the man's neck in front of her. She was stunned at first, until blood suddenly spurted out of the cross-section like a column. The woman, with her face covered in blood, opened her mouth and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"what--"

The sudden scream startled the other people in the woods who were enjoying the spoils, and countless pairs of eyes were instantly focused on the scene.

As everyone followed his gaze, Liu Qi floated down from mid-air and stood steadily in front of the tree.

She lowered her eyes slightly and glanced at the heads at her feet, then raised her head with an indifferent expression and met everyone's gaze.

At this time, a burly man dressed in armor stood out. He looked at Liu Qi and smiled, hiding the lustful look in his eyes. Then he clasped his fists and said loudly, "I wonder what you are doing here, lady?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi glanced in the direction he was headed and saw that the armor on the man was not like that of an ordinary soldier, and there were two pretty young women slumped at his feet. He knew in his heart that this man must be the leader of this group of chaotic soldiers.

"Were you the ones who burned the ferry in the town?" Liu Qi retracted his gaze and asked in a calm tone.

When the man heard what Liu Qi asked, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on his face.

When he saw Liu Qi kill one of his men who had been bullying women, he thought his opponent was helping the weak, but what he asked about was the ferry in the town?

However, after a brief moment of shock, the man immediately came to his senses and replied respectfully, "Lady, are you going south by boat?"

Liu Qi said nothing.

The man smiled and continued, "After the earth dragon turned, officials and gentry from all over the country fled with their families. All the boats that could be used within hundreds of miles along the river have been requisitioned. Even the small fishing boats have been bought out."

"Oh." Liu Qi replied calmly, "So, there are no more boats for hundreds of miles along the river?"

The man smiled and nodded, but he replied: "But... as far as I know, there should be a ship docked at a ferry twenty miles away, that is..."

Whoosh!
A strong wind whistled past.

The smile on the man's face froze instantly, his pupils trembled and slowly moved to the right, only to see that his right arm was empty!

The man turned around suddenly and saw a broken arm lying on the ground a few steps behind him.

"I don't have much patience, so..." Liu Qi raised his eyes indifferently.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" The man staggered back two steps, holding his right shoulder, and then quickly said, "This is the ship of General Qin, who is guarding this prefecture. His family has a lot of business and assets all over the province, and he's waiting for people from all over to send money, so it was delayed for a few days!"

The man spoke very quickly, fearing that if he spoke too slowly he would lose his head. By the time he uttered the last word, his forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat.

He stared at Liu Qi in fear, until he saw Liu Qi nod slightly, then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Swish!
The man heard a slight sound in his ears. He slowly raised his head, and his pupils reflected a fleeting green light.

boom!
The man fell to the ground.

There were about thirty or forty random soldiers in the forest and the men's group. Except for the four who were on sentry duty outside the forest, the rest were here.

Liu Qi did not waste too much time. Looking at the headless corpses all over the ground, she even felt a little bored. After all, these people combined were no match for her.

Liu Qi was about to turn around and leave when someone suddenly shouted from behind: "Lady, walk slowly!"

Liu Qi walked straight out of the woods without stopping.

The woman who had just spoken was the young woman next to the leading soldier. She was the only one among the twenty or so young women in the forest who could still remain a little sober at this moment. So when she saw Liu Qi's back disappearing into the woods, a gloomy look suddenly appeared on her face.

Their families have all been killed by this group of vicious soldiers. How should they, the weak women left, survive in this chaotic world?
Liu Qi had already arrived outside the forest. Tian Xiang rode on horseback and leaned forward to see what was happening in the forest. When she saw Liu Qi coming out of the forest, Tian Xiang asked expectantly, "What's going on in there?"

Liu Qi did not speak in response, but simply jumped onto the horse swiftly, then turned the horse's head by pulling the reins, and then said, "There should be a boat twenty miles ahead."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at the sky and then said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to be like those women in the forest, just follow me closely."

drive!
After saying that, Liu Qi rode away at a rapid speed.

Tianxiang's face showed panic. She looked back at the woods with complicated eyes, and faintly saw a slender figure seemed to be walking out of the woods, but when she heard the sound of Liu Qi's horse's hooves gradually fading away, she could only turn around and squeeze the horse's belly hard.

"drive!"

……

As night falls, the only sound left on the silent official road is the clatter of horse hooves.

Liu Qi suddenly pulled the reins and stopped steadily. He stared ahead and suddenly saw a bright light in the distance.

"Uu——"

Tianxiang followed closely and also stopped his horse beside Liu Qi.

The moment the horse stopped, Tianxiang lay on the horse's back, gasping for breath.

When Liu Qi heard the noise beside him, he couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, then gently let go of the reins and drove the horse forward slowly.

Tianxiang saw Liu Qi start to move. Although her whole body ached as if it was falling apart, she still gritted her teeth and rode her horse to follow.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, finally arrived at the place where the fire was bright.

It turned out to be a military camp stationed on the dock.

The guard holding a spear at the door saw Liu Qi and the other two approaching slowly, and immediately stepped forward nervously to stop the two with his spear, and then shouted angrily: "Anyone who trespasses into the military camp will be killed!"

Liu Qi was too lazy to waste time talking to the other party. She did not slow down at all. She just raised her hand and waved it lightly. A gust of wind suddenly arose, knocking the two soldiers guarding the door to the ground.

"who!"

"Someone is attacking the camp!"

The military discipline of the officers and soldiers in this military camp seemed to be pretty good. As soon as Liu Qi passed through the gate, countless officers and soldiers rushed in from all directions, holding spears and strong bows, and surrounded Liu Qi and the other man.

"Stop!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Liu Qi, who was about to take action, quietly put down his raised right hand when he saw this.

Wow…

The officers and soldiers who were surrounding the front immediately made way for a path, and an agile figure strode out, until he came to the front and was completely exposed to Liu Qi's sight.

He is a young general in his early thirties.

The young general first raised his head and glanced at Liu Qi. When his eyes touched Liu Qi's face, he immediately clasped his fists and said with a moved expression: "It turned out to be Miss Liu. I, Qin He, failed to welcome you in person. I hope Miss Liu will not blame me."

"Everyone, get out!" Qin He stood up after the salute and saw that the crowd was still crowded. His face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily, "Can't you see that this girl is my honored guest?"

The officers and soldiers around dispersed upon hearing this.

"Have you seen me?" Liu Qi watched the officers and soldiers around him retreat quickly and orderly, and immediately glanced at the strange young general. After confirming that he had never seen him, he asked softly.

Qin He smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Miss Liu is so famous, and Qin He is just a garrison commander. How can he be qualified to meet you?"

"But..." Qin He paused, then a complicated look appeared in his eyes, "I have a good friend in the army who often mentions you, Miss Liu."

Liu Qi got off the horse and walked towards Qin He with steady steps, asking, "Who?"

"It's the second son of the Anle Marquis family, Mr. Fang." Qin He said cautiously, glancing at Liu Qi's expression from time to time, as if he wanted to find something.

Liu Qi frowned: "An Le Hou..." Qin He saw Liu Qi's puzzled expression, so he quickly added: "It's Fang Weixian."

Liu Qi suddenly understood.

It was him!

I almost forgot there was such a person.

Liu Qi asked casually, "Isn't he serving as a garrison officer in Qingjiang Prefecture?"

Qingjiang Prefecture can be considered as Liu Qi's hometown. Although it is a little remote, it is just able to avoid the disputes in the Central Plains. It is also close to Qingcheng Mountain. With the relationship with Xu Qinghuai, the Qingcheng Sect will more or less take care of it.

If there is any danger to the Xu family, it is probably caused by the unstable factor Liu Qi.

Qin He saw that Liu Qi had no reaction to Fang Weixian, and he couldn't help but sweat for his old friend, but he still replied respectfully: "Miss Liu, you don't know that Fang Weixian has long been valued by Prime Minister Fu and is guarding Jiangbei with the army!"

Jiangbei?

Isn’t that the front line of confrontation with the small court in Jiangnan?

That place is not a safe place.

But Liu Qi changed his mind and realized that for a soldier, a good place is one where he can gain military merit.

Fang Weixian was already a leader among the younger generation in the army, and he came from a good family. The only thing he lacked was military merit.

Liu Qi shook his head, thinking that once the road to heaven was reopened, the earth would naturally be shaken. At that time, no matter whether you were a king, a general, a hero or a beauty, in the face of a natural disaster that was close to destroying the world, the ending would be the same!

Qin He saw Liu Qi shaking her head and thought she was dissatisfied with Fang Weixian being transferred to Jiangbei, so he explained in a low voice: "Miss Liu, although the Jiangnan court is on the verge of a war, as far as I know, they have no intention of going to war at all."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi looked at Qin He with some confusion, wondering what the war had to do with him.

Qin He opened up the conversation: "You are not unaware of the situation of our emperor. Although he is a martial arts master and one of the best in the world, he has no children. Even if he can live for more than a hundred years with his supernatural powers, the throne will still fall to the man in Jiangnan in the end."

Qin He lowered his voice and said, "It is said that he is not a simple person either, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to those of his adopted sister!"

Adopt a sister?

Liu Qi asked, "Le Qingyao?"

Qin He nodded: "That's her, the current leader of Taiyi Sect. The young master Xiao in Jiangnan is her brother, Le Qingshan, but now he has changed his name to Xiao Qingshan."

Although it is well known in the world that Xiao Qifeng is not of Xiao family bloodline, he still holds the legitimacy. The man from Jiangnan is not in a hurry to become emperor, so various forces have always called the man from Jiangnan who has Xiao family bloodline "Young Master Xiao".

Liu Qi had never paid attention to these mundane matters, but he did not expect that he had met this Mr. Xiao.

Le Qingshan... No, it should be called Xiao Qingshan now.

His cultivation is indeed not inferior to Yue Qingyao's.

Moreover, Liu Qi had sensed a strange artistic conception in him.

Liu Qi's eyes sank slightly.

Maybe this person is also a hidden grandmaster!

Liu Qi told Qin He that he wanted to use his boat to go to the south of the Yangtze River.

Qin He would naturally not refuse. When he heard that Liu Qi had to go to Jiangnan for an urgent matter, he even gave up the family property that had not yet arrived, and hurriedly urged his men to set off.

The next morning, we set sail.

Just one day after setting out, Liu Qi and his group ran into people who had fled ahead of them.

Liu Qi stood at the bow, looking indifferently at the densely packed ships on the river ahead.

Qin He's face looked a little ugly. He probably didn't expect that so many people would go south along the river, and most of them were on fishing boats that could not sail long distances.

"It seems like the world is really going to be in chaos!" Qin He sighed.

Liu Qi said calmly: "General Qin, as the garrison commander of a prefecture, cannot defend the land and protect the people, let alone them."

Qin He's face changed slightly when he heard this, and his mouth opened and closed slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

Of course, Qin He was not the only one who escaped.

The noise Liu Qi made in the underground palace was too loud, and when the palace collapsed, several nearby prefectures were severely affected. Many towns and villages built on the mountains were almost completely destroyed. One can imagine how panicked ordinary people were after experiencing this.

The reason why they all fled down the river to the south of the Yangtze River was because everyone knew that the south of the Yangtze River was rich, and taking the water route also saved a lot of distance.

Plus the capital...

Thinking of this, Liu Qi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qin He beside him.

Judging from his appearance as he walked along, he seemed to be unaware of what had happened in Gyeonggi Province.

Who on earth has the ability to block the news from Gyeonggi Province?

……

At this time in a small town near Gyeonggi.

On both sides of the town's main street were lined up soldiers in full armor with solemn expressions.

In a restaurant right in the middle of the main street.

Four people with different expressions were sitting around the square table in the middle of the lobby.

If Liu Qi were here, he would definitely be able to recognize the four people at the table.

First, sitting opposite the restaurant's main entrance was the contemporary Taiyi Sect master Yue Qingyao.

Sitting hunched over on her left was Fu Qingshu, who had been captured by Gu Liancheng earlier.

And the person sitting on her right was Zhou Mi, who was supposed to be frozen in a manor outside Beijing!

As for the fourth person sitting with his back to the restaurant door, it was Le Qingshan, whom Liu Qi had met once before.

Of course, he should be called Xiao Qingshan now!
Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming cold, Yue Qingyao's beautiful eyes moved, and then she said softly: "This is not a long-term solution."

She slowly turned her head to look at Zhou Mi, and then asked softly: "Ms. Zhou..., do you really not know where your ancestor is buried?"

Zhou Mi smiled bitterly: "If I knew, I would have told you earlier!"

After that, she whispered, "Who knew that Gu Liancheng actually found the remains of the God of Fire and used it to make poison? Could it be that he is now using the remains of my ancestor to make an antidote?"

"Empress!" Fu Qingshu, who had been hunched over, finally spoke.

He straightened his body, stared into Zhou Mi's eyes with his slightly cloudy eyes, and said word by word: "You don't want the country she built with her own hands to be burned down like this!"

Zhou Mi slowly closed his eyes upon hearing this, with a helpless look on his face. "In fact, these legends are not entirely false. The ancestor of the Canghai clan did die after crashing into the pillar of heaven. So if his body still exists in the world, it is most likely where he fell."

"The place where the sky is repaired!" Yue Qingyao's eyes lit up, "Kunlun's desperate place!"
