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

Chapter 416 Attack
There was a lot of traffic on the official road, and the pedestrians gathered into a vast ocean, slowly flowing forward.

Liu Qi and her group stood out in the crowd because they were the only ones riding tall horses and surrounded by fully armored knights.

When passers-by along the way looked at Liu Qi and his group, fear and envy would appear on their numb faces.

"I didn't expect that the Tianxiang Sect would capture Li'an City. What on earth is the capital doing? They just let the waterway hub of Da Qi be controlled by this group of monsters!" Qin He, who was standing aside, said angrily as he looked at the displaced people along the way.

Liu Qi remained silent upon hearing this, but thought silently in his heart that now all the people in the entire capital, including the more than 100,000 most elite imperial guards guarding the capital, had been frozen into lumps of ice by Xiao Qifeng.

Not to mention that Li'an City was breached, even if the entire Da Qi fell, the capital would be helpless now.

However, there was one thing that Liu Qi was quite curious about. The Tianxiang Sect was already on the verge of collapse under the multi-pronged suppression by the imperial court, but why did it suddenly break through the heavy blockades along the river and go straight to Li'an City?

Li'an City was the hub of the Da Qi waterway. Even though there were not many troops stationed there due to the long period of peace, it still relied on high walls and strong defenses to ensure that it would not fail for even a day!

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a noisy sound in my ears.

She focused her mind and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that there seemed to be a commotion among the crowd in front of her, and all sorts of noises flooded into her ears.

Qin He, who was standing by, also saw the commotion ahead. He was already in a bad mood, and his face suddenly turned cold. He then waved his hand to signal his subordinates to go and resolve the situation.

Several knights immediately sped up, driving away the people along the way while riding their horses towards the place where the riot occurred.

But at this moment, Liu Qi on the side suddenly whispered, "Hurry up and get your people back, someone is targeting us!"

Qin He glanced sideways when he heard the voice. Just as he was puzzled, a sound of breaking air was heard in his ears.

call out! call out! call out……

The three riders who were riding their horses forward to deal with the scattered people landed on the ground.

At the same time, countless cold lights shot towards Liu Qi and his group.

when!when!when!
Qin He drew out his long sword with a "clang" and waved it wildly in front of him. As the sound of metal collision continued, arrows scattered all around Qin He.

But his men do not have such impenetrable swordsmanship.

"what!"

"what!"

Screams and wails were heard everywhere.

After a round of arrows, less than half of the more than 30 cavalrymen led by Qin He were left.

Bang!Bang!
The huge noise seemed to tear the sky apart, and even the ground began to shake with the loud noise.

Liu Qi, who remained calm throughout the whole process, finally raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the fire streaking across the sky, and then whispered to himself: "It's really a bloody investment."

Seeing the stream of fire quickly streaking across the sky and heading straight for Liu Qi and his group, almost everyone felt that the air around them seemed to be ignited and became scorching hot.

hum-

Accompanied by a slight tremor, an invisible wave of air quickly rippled out from Liu Qi's body.

The two balls of fire and air waves that had already hit the top of his head were completely annihilated and dissipated in the air the moment they came into contact.

At the same time, the scorching air around them quickly faded away, and the people who were originally having difficulty breathing felt their chests relax, and as the cool air rushed into their lungs, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Liu Qi narrowed her eyes slightly and scanned the crowd in front of her. Soon she found that some people in the crowd were quietly retreating.

You've already started, and you still want to leave?

How can such a good thing happen!
Liu Qi's mind moved, and a ball of cold energy condensed in front of his eyes, then suddenly burst out, flashed above the crowd in front, and suddenly stopped.

No one present realized that an extremely dangerous energy was hanging over their heads.

As Liu Qi's eyes swept over the crowd, the energy hanging above him suddenly expanded, and then "bang" tore apart, turning into strands of invisible silk threads that sank into the crowd.

"what--"

The first person who fell in the crowd caused panic among the people around him.

But soon they could no longer shout, and one after another fell down. There was no sign at all, and there were no scars on the bodies of the fallen people.

At this time, Liu Qi calmly scanned the crowd to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net. After confirming that there were none, she said softly: "General Qin, please send someone to the woods in the northwest direction, about 200 steps away. There should be eleven bodies there."

Qin He seemed to be still a little frightened. He stared blankly at the chaotic crowd in front of him and subconsciously replied, "Okay."

……

This massive attack took only about a cup of tea from start to finish.

The attackers spent a huge amount of money, even using the magic cannon that only the imperial guards and the most elite border troops were qualified to equip.

According to Liu Qi's speculation, this thing should have been obtained from Li'an City.

It is estimated that before it could be sent to the border troops or the capital, it was intercepted by the Tianxiang sect.

Qin He looked at the two brand new divine fire cannons in front of him with a gloomy face. If Liu Qi had not been there, he would have burst into curses by now.

Qin He's family had been in the army for generations, and there were many relatives of the same clan in the border troops. Naturally, he could recognize that the firearm in front of him was the magic cannon, which was known as the trump card of the border troops.

But he never expected that one day he would almost die from this cannon, and in the heart of Da Qi!

Liu Qi and Tian Xiang stood under a tree nearby.

Tianxiang was quite interested in the divine fire cannon. She stood on tiptoe restlessly beside Liu Qi and peeked in, wanting to see what the two balls of fire were that had just been emitted.

Liu Qi wasn't very interested in it. Although this thing was quite powerful, anyone below the top level would probably be wiped out.

But the problem is that when you aim, ignite, and fire the shell, let alone a top-notch master, even Liu Qi, who had just come out of Xiliu Villa, would have already mastered a set of swordsmanship.

What's more, this thing is usually launched from two hundred steps away.

Any expert with any brains would not just stand there and wait to be bombarded upon hearing this earth-shattering noise.

So basically, as long as one's cultivation reaches the first-rate level, things like firearms will hardly have any effect on people in the martial arts world.

Of course, this thing is not meant to be used alone. When combined with a military formation with a full range of arms, it can still exert extremely powerful power.

When Zhou Weiyang was on the battlefield, the magic cannon played a significant role.

After all, no martial arts force can resist the attack of the divine fire cannon after Zhou Weiyang beheaded the strong men in their sect!

Therefore, the strength between the imperial court and the underworld also depends on the combat power at the top of the pyramid.

The rest is just icing on the cake.

"General Qin, the Tianxiang Sect has spent so much money, it seems that what you brought to Jiangnan this time is not just gold and silver treasures!" Liu Qi broke the silence at the scene. Qin He's face changed slightly when he heard this, and then he turned his head and looked at Liu Qi with complicated eyes.

Today's assassination was obviously aimed at him.

As for why it wasn't directed at Liu Qi?

nonsense!

Anyone with a normal mind would not come up with such a stupid idea as assassinating Liu Qi.

And they used powerful crossbows, hidden arrows and firearms.

There is an unwritten rule in the martial arts world, which is that in order to deal with a master with a cultivation level above the first-rate, at least three masters of the same level are needed.

If you want to kill it with 100% certainty, then at least one of these three masters of the same level must be half a level stronger than the target!
According to this rule, if one wants to kill Liu Qi, one must send out at least three strong men in the Zhiwei Realm, which are the grand masters often mentioned by people in the martial arts world.

Looking at the entire martial arts world, the emergence of two grandmasters in the same era throughout history is considered a golden age for martial arts.

It is rare to be in the air for several days like today!
Liu Qi sometimes couldn't help but wonder if it was God's will.

After all, the last era when great masters emerged was the eve of the Qin Emperor unifying the nine provinces and reopening the road to heaven.

While the Great Qin Emperor died on the spot after failing to accomplish his goal, those extraordinary talents who dominated the world, led by the various schools of thought, either died or disappeared.

In short, the martial arts world entered a period of stability that lasted for a thousand years. Of course, there were great masters like Kongsang Fairy who stood at the top of their generation, but overall, the martial arts world in the past thousand years was relatively mediocre.

Until the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, the three emperors went crazy and led a wave, but it soon died down.

Liu Qi thought of the fact that Mad Blade Fang Hen was once a member of Futian, and thought that perhaps the foreshadowing of the great changes that would take place over a thousand years had been laid at that time, and had not yet erupted completely.

The Nine Cauldrons have reappeared in the world, and the road to heaven that the fairy Kongsang had been seeking for eight hundred years ago seems to be within reach.

Liu Qi calmed himself down, and seeing that Qin He was unwilling to reveal the purpose of his trip to Jiangnan, he gave up the idea and prepared to set off alone with Tianxiang. Anyway, the waterway was blocked now, and Liu Qi didn't have to travel with Qin He.

Qin He watched Liu Qi take Tianxiang away. He wanted to speak several times but finally chose to remain silent.

It was not until Liu Qi and Tian Xiang left the woods that the men beside him stepped forward and asked cautiously: "General, why don't you just tell Miss Liu directly? With Miss Liu here, I'm sure the people of Tian Xiang's sect won't dare to act recklessly!"

"Shut up!" Qin He scolded his men.

Then he shook his head grimly: "Didn't you hear how Miss Liu called the little girl next to her?"

The subordinate lowered his head and recalled for a moment, then replied: "I think her name was... Tianxiang."

Heavenly fragrance!

As soon as the words fell, the subordinate was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief: "Could it be..."

"Humph!" Qin He snorted unhappily, and then said coldly: "You are not too stupid to guess now. This little girl, whether in name or figure, is too similar to the leader of the Tianxiang Sect reported by our spies!"

The subordinates' eyes widened: "Miss Liu is accompanied by the leader of the Tianxiang Sect!"

He recalled the seemingly harmless girl who was respectful to Liu Qi along the way, and couldn't help but tremble with fear and said: "Then Miss Liu, isn't she..."

Qin He's face changed, and he quickly stopped his men from continuing: "Don't make blind guesses. If Miss Liu is the mastermind behind the Tianxiang Sect, can you and I still be alive now?"

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about. My father mentioned in a letter to me a month ago that all the martial arts masters are fighting for the Nine Cauldrons, hoping to use them to reopen the path to heaven and ascend to heaven. I think Miss Liu and this girl named Tianxiang are probably related to the Nine Cauldrons."

Qin He frowned as he spoke: "There has been no letter from my father yet, could it be that something has happened in the capital?"

He immediately asked his men in a solemn voice, "Have any of the spies sent to the capital returned?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "We have sent out twelve people in a row, and so far, not even a hair has returned, let alone a person!"

"Something must have happened in the capital!" Qin He said with a serious expression.

When he learned that Li'an City was breached by the Tianxiang Sect, he guessed that something might have happened in the capital. After all, Li'an City was related to the supply of the capital, and the court would never sit idly by and watch Li'an City being controlled by a group of rebellious monsters.

Qin He was in a dilemma.

However, the arrival of a messenger who claimed to be from the capital that night solved Qin He's worries.

When Qin He finished reading the letter filled with words, a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face, and the hand holding the letter began to tremble.

"How is it possible, how is it possible..."

He kept repeating the words "How is this possible?"

The messenger standing in front of him laughed at the situation and said, "General Qin, right? You have also seen Fu Qingshu's letter. I don't need to tell you what to do."

"Who are you? How dare you call the Prime Minister by his name!" Qin He came to his senses after hearing the words, and seeing that the messenger's words were quite disrespectful, he questioned him in a stern voice.

Unexpectedly, the messenger calmly lifted the hood of his coat, and as his long black hair fell down, a bright and beautiful face suddenly appeared in Qin He's sight.

The woman had an impatient look on her face: "My name is Liu Nineteen. Let alone the Prime Minister, even if it's the Emperor..."

Liu Nineteen paused, and suddenly remembered that the current emperor was Xiao Qifeng, so he pursed his lips, and then said unhappily: "Mr. Qin, I want to ask you a question, have you seen Liu Qi?"

Liu Qi!

Liu Shijiu!
Qin He's face darkened, and then he nodded solemnly: "Miss, you came at an untimely time. Miss Liu just parted ways with Qin at noon today, and she is probably on her way to Jiangnan now!"

Liu Nineteen frowned upon hearing this, and whispered, "Why is she going to Jiangnan again?"

Qin He asked in a deep voice, "May I ask what the Nineteenth Lady wants to do with Miss Liu Qi?"

"It's none of your business!" Liu Nineteen said without thinking, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Qin He suppressed his anger and said, "Miss Liu Qi is not walking very fast with a little girl by her side. If you go after her now, you may be able to catch up with her tomorrow morning."

Upon hearing this, Liu Nineteen looked at Qin He with satisfaction and said, "You are sensible. Ask someone to quickly prepare a fast horse for me. If I delay the important matter, hmph!"

A moment later, Liu Nineteen rode away from the temporary camp.

Qin He stood at the gate of the camp and watched Liu Shijiu disappear into the night. He turned around only when he could no longer hear the sound of horse hooves. He told his men to pack up the tents and prepare to set out overnight.

You don’t have to go to Jiangnan anymore.

That Young Master Xiao is already near the capital.

And Gyeonggi...

Click!

Qin He's hands behind his back suddenly clenched into fists!
