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

Chapter 59 Many people want to lose their heads

So, what was written on the piece of paper that Cao Cheng gave to Shen Zhuang?
  Until she returned to Liu Mansion, Liu Qi was still thinking about this issue in her mind.

Just when he was about to enter the small courtyard gate, Liu Qi paused and suddenly discovered the secret code located in the corner.

Liu Qi squatted down and erased the code in the corner. After confirming that no one was in the courtyard and Cuixiang had not returned, she ducked out of the Liu Mansion through the outer wall.

……

Fengji Rice Shop.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

It was getting dark at this time, and Liu Qi knocked on the door of Mipu rhythmically. It was not until he repeated it for the third time that the door of Mipu opened a little with a creak.

Liu Qi ducked in. After entering, a black shadow shook in front of her eyes, and then there was a "whoosh", and a strong wind hit her ears.

Liu Qi looked calm, stretched out his hand to clasp the wrist protruding from the right side, twisted it, and then his arm climbed up the other person's arm like a snake, until he clasped the other person's throat.

"Liu Qi, I haven't seen you for a few months, your martial arts have improved a lot!" The figure whose throat was held by Liu Qi in the darkness suddenly said.

Listening to the familiar voice, Liu Qi had no intention of withdrawing his hand. He just said lightly: "It's because your martial arts progress is too slow, Liu Er!"

"Hehehe..." Following a burst of low laughter, Liu Qi slowly retracted her hand.

call--

Someone in the darkness took a breath, and then a dim yellow light gradually lit up, illuminating the entire room in an instant.

After Liu Er lit the oil lamp on the table, he blew out the fire stick in his hand. Then he raised his head and glanced at Liu Qi, who was slowly walking towards him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"It seems that you have adapted to the life at the foot of the mountain. In the past, only Liu Shijiu dressed like this in Xiliu Villa." Liu Er slowly sat down, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.

Looking at the twisted scars on Liu Er's face, Liu Qi, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but look away, and then asked in a deep voice: "What do you want from me?"

As if aware of the shift in Liu Qi's gaze, Liu Er couldn't help but reach out and touch the scar on his face, and then twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'm not looking for you, it's 'Your Majesty' who has something important to tell you!"

Your Majesty!

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard these two words. He returned his gaze to Liu Er and asked with piercing eyes: "Have you already met Your Majesty?"

Liu Er shook his head: "I have never seen him before. Since I entered the Golden Horse Chamber of Commerce, I have followed the instructions of the Third Young Master and become the bodyguard around the Eldest Young Master."

"So not everyone in the Golden Horse Chamber of Commerce is a respected person?" Liu Qi asked immediately.

Liu Er did not answer, but asked instead: "Looking at you like this, I think you have lived a good life at the Black Prison Gate. Have you ever seen the legendary 'Black Prison King'?"

"Tell me, what do you want your Majesty to tell you?" Seeing that the other party was talking to him, Liu Qi didn't bother to waste any more words and went straight to the point.

Liu Er's eyes sharpened when he heard this, and then he said in a faint tone: "Have you forgotten our original agreement so quickly?"

Liu Qi just sneered: "Why don't I remember what agreement we have between you and me?"

For a moment, the room became silent.

"Okay, I have two things to do with you this time." Liu Er's expression turned gloomy, and then his tone became much colder, "Your Majesty ordered that Yan Lingyi should die in the capital, and that he should die in Taiyi." The gate’s Taiyi gold points under the light sword.”

After saying that, Liu Er suddenly took out a long sword from the table and slapped it on the table.

Liu Qi glanced at it and saw a Bagua pattern engraved on the hilt of the sword. It was obviously a sword belonging to a Taoist disciple.

"Leave this matter to your Black Prison Sect, and I will cooperate with you." Liu Er continued, and took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi took it and took a look, and immediately confirmed that this token was the "Knife Order" that the old man who sharpened his sword always carried. She immediately took out the jade pendant that represented her identity as "Master of the Seven Kills", and then placed it on the " With a slight press on the recessed part of the "Token of Knife", the jade pendant was embedded into the token tightly.

On the front of the token, there are two more similar depressions.

After confirming the authenticity of the token, Liu Qi lightly pressed the token and the jade pendant came out. After putting the jade pendant away, Liu Qi returned the token to Liu Er.

For some reason, Liu Qi saw a trace of envy flashing in Liu Er's eyes.

"The old knife-sharpening old man has always been full of praise for you. I think among you and me, you will be the first to see your Majesty before me."

But when Liu Er saw Liu Qi's calm expression, he immediately thought of something, then shook his head and smiled: "I guess that's not your intention. In that case, why didn't you just escape from Xiliu Villa while Mrs. Mei was away?" With your martial arts skills, you can live a peaceful life in a deserted place."

Liu Qi's white fingers slowly caressed the long sword on the table, and then said coldly: "Did I ever say that I want to live a stable life?"

She just doesn't like to be a tool for someone or a certain force to realize their ambitions. It doesn't mean that she will withdraw from the world and disappear.

From the beginning, Liu Qi had the idea of ​​​​smiling and being carefree.

But the experience of Xiliu Villa told her that before she had enough strength, the so-called Swordsman was just a dream.

The reason why she was interested in that gentleman was not because of Mrs. Mei's brainwashing, nor was it because of her own ambitions.

She just wanted to know how far that lord's martial arts had reached?
  Perhaps...only if your martial arts can reach the level where you are not afraid of that lord, can you truly feel free and at ease.

Liu Qi's eyes moved slightly, she quickly gathered her thoughts, and then asked coldly: "Is there one more thing?"

"Remember Liu San?" Liu Er suddenly looked solemn.

……

After leaving Fengji Mipu, Liu Qi went directly to the martial arts academy and found Yu An who had just fallen asleep.

"It's you again!" Yu An was very unhappy that his dream was interrupted.

Whoosh!
  A stream of light burst out from Liu Qi's hand.

Yu An saw Liu Guang coming straight to the door, and then he dodged sideways and reached out to grab the sword hilt.

Taking the sword in front of him and glancing at it, Yu An said solemnly: "The Taoist sword of Taiyi Sect."

As he spoke, Yu An turned his hand, looked at the other side of the sword hilt, and then said solemnly: "It is still the sword of contemporary disciples."

Liu Qi repeated the mission to him expressionlessly.

"Who am I talking about? It turns out to be the Golden Horse Gang!" After hearing the target this time, the look on Yu An's face immediately dissipated and was replaced by a sneer.

Liu Qi said calmly: "The action time is set at Mao hour two days later. At that time, Yan Lingyi will entertain guests at Fuxiangyuan. You and I will work together to take action on his way back. I will handle the escort, and Yan Lingyi will leave it to you."

Only Yu An, the chief instructor of the martial arts academy, could imitate Taiyi Sect's swordsmanship.

Liu Qi had finished explaining and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly thought of something. Then he stopped and asked, "I wonder, 'Judge,' do you know what happened to the Caobang Chamber of Commerce recently?"

"Caobang Chamber of Commerce?" Yu An thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said coldly: "You want to know who assassinated Cao Cheng, right?"

Liu Qi shook her head: "You also know that I recently cooperated with Cao Cheng to buy the jade ginseng from Renshantang, but it cost a lot of money, so he asked me to help him kill someone to pay off the debt."

As the leader of wandering souls, Yu An could not hide his every move from him.

"Thousand-year-old jade ginseng..." A strange smile appeared on Yu An's face, "I know something about you from the old immortal. Why bother to be so close and far away? There are many such elixirs in the Black Prison Gate!"

Liu Qi took steps to leave after hearing this.

"Wait!" Yu An's voice came from behind.

"If I guess correctly, the person Cao Cheng wants you to kill should be the wanted Lu Yishan. He has colluded with various forces in the capital over the years and has been involved in many cases."

"If he is caught alive by the government, I'm afraid many people's heads will not be saved."

"Cao Cheng is also among them?"

"Hahaha... You don't really think that the Caobang can only do legitimate water transport business, do you?"

"So..." Liu Qi turned around and asked, "Where is Lu Yishan now?"

Yu An's eyes suddenly shone when he heard this, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "There is a Salesian Home in the south of the city, which is the property of Old Black Snake."

"Thank you."
