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

Chapter 94 A Gift from Your Majesty

"Ugh!"

The old knife-sharpening old man turned around and looked at Yu An, who was still staring at death. He shook his head and sighed again. He walked to the body, squatted down and stretched out his hand to touch his face. Unexpectedly, Yu An's eyes were still wide open, as if he was glaring at the knife-sharpening old man. Old man!

The eyes of the old knife-sharpening old man were immediately covered with a layer of frost, and his skinny fingers instantly inserted into Yu An's eyes.

"Gudong"

Two bead-like objects slipped from the old man's hand.

"Humph!"

Hearing only a cold snort, the old man sharpening the knife stood up slowly, and when he turned around to face Liu Qi and the others, he already had a warm smile on his face.

"Everyone, you have done a great job this time." The hoarse voice of the old knife-sharpening old man couldn't conceal the joy in his heart, "Your Majesty, you will definitely be rewarded!"

Zhao Jiangsheng glanced at Ye Su's body on the ground, stepped forward and bowed with his fists clasped, "It all depends on Dao Lao's magical calculations and... Master Qisha's amazing martial arts."

As he said that, Zhao Jiangsheng turned to look at Liu Qi, who was standing with a knife and a calm expression on his face.

"Hahaha..." The old knife-sharpening old man laughed loudly when he heard this. He seemed to see a trace of worry in Zhao Jiangsheng's eyes, and immediately chuckled, "This kid always has an iceberg face, you don't have to worry too much."

"Yes, it's all for the sake of your Majesty." Zhao Jiangsheng replied with sincerity and fear.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Liao Renjie, who had just taken the pill given by the old man who sharpened the knife, suddenly coughed. He stopped until a mouthful of black blood came out, and then slowly opened his eyes.

Huang Chun, who was on the side, was overjoyed when he saw Liao Renjie open his eyes. He stretched out his hand to feel Liao Renjie's pulse. After a moment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Mr. Dao, for saving your life!" Huang Chun bowed and clasped his fists, thanking Liao Renjie.

"It's just a piece of cake. Hurry and take this brother back to recover from his injuries." After saying this, the old knife-sharpening old man glanced faintly in the direction of the window sill behind him.

"Ms. Li." Following the soft call of the old man sharpening the knife, a woman walked out of the house. It was Mother Li.

"Arrange for them to leave the capital as soon as possible." The old man who sharpened his knife pointed at the "Four Wonders of the South" with his withered finger.

"Yes." Mother Li nodded.

After Mother Li left with the "Four Wonders of the South", only Liu Qi and the old man sharpening the knife were left in the room, and of course there were two corpses.

"Mrs. Mei's vision is really vicious!" The old man who sharpened his sword glanced at the two corpses on the ground and said in a leisurely tone, "I followed her recommendation and made you the leader of the Seven Kills. It was the best thing I have done in decades. one thing."

"Ye Su studied under the 'Five Ultimate Old Man'. Although he only learned the Snow Plowing Cloud Palm, he is a top master after all. It is really rare that you can force him into such a embarrassing situation!"

With his eyes fixed on Liu Qi's calm face, the old man sharpening his knife couldn't help but frown and murmured: "Is it really the effect of those elixirs..."

Spiritual medicine can improve one's cultivation, but it requires a lot of time to digest and polish, otherwise it will leave hidden dangers that are difficult to make up for. This is the consensus among martial arts people.

And once you break through the current level of cultivation with the help of magical medicine, the next level of cultivation will be even more difficult to overcome.

The old man who sharpened his sword was naturally aware of Liu Qi's search for the elixir. He had also reminded Liu Qi before that he should not rely too much on external forces to improve his cultivation.

But Liu Qi's drug addiction seemed to have no bottlenecks or side effects. Every time he met, he would bring new surprises to the old man sharpening his knives.

Is it true that there are people in this world who can improve their cultivation level unhindered through the use of magical medicine?

The old man sharpening the knife shook his head. Naturally, he didn't believe it.

Perhaps because Liu Qi's own talent is better than ordinary geniuses, the side effects of taking the elixir have not yet appeared.

"Maybe... this is her limit!" The old knife-sharpening old man looked at Liu Qi, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

In his opinion, if Liu Qi practiced hard, given her age, she might have a chance to reach the top in the future.

Liu Qi naturally didn't know what the old man sharpening his knife was thinking.

She was looking at Ye Su's body intently. Although he was injured by Liao Renjie and died in the hands of the old man sharpening the knife, she was the one who took most of the damage!

Just because the last steamed bun is full, you can’t think that the previous steamed buns are unimportant!

How many benefits can a top master get in exchange!

Liu Qi thought carefully in her heart. The old man who had just sharpened the knife said that "Your Majesty" would definitely be rewarded!

The old knife-sharpening old man finally noticed that Liu Qi's gaze had been falling on Ye Su's body. He suddenly remembered that Mrs. Mei once said that Liu Qi was a martial arts idiot, so he smiled knowingly: "The beauty of the 'Five Jue Old Man'" The Snow Chuan Yun Palm is indeed very powerful. I have searched his body outside just now, but no secret book was found. If you are interested, after the Third Young Master has eliminated the Golden Horse Chamber of Commerce, I can beg for you shamelessly. One request."

When Liu Qi heard this, she knew that the old knife-sharpening old man had misunderstood what she was thinking, but of course she would not take the initiative to explain. She just nodded slightly and said "hmm" with a cold face.

At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves outside the window.

The officers and soldiers on night patrol must have arrived after hearing the news.

Liu Qi glanced at the two corpses, and then looked at the old man sharpening his knife, asking what to do with the two corpses.

Ye Su was a guest of the Jinma Chamber of Commerce. Formerly, the eldest son of the chamber of commerce, Yan Lingyi, was killed in the street. Now another guest has died in the capital.

Although Yu An has no official position, he is still the chief instructor of martial arts and can be regarded as a member of the government.

The old knife-sharpening old man snorted coldly: "Let Liumen have a headache!"

……

Coming out of Fuxiangyuan, Liu Qi followed the old man sharpening his knife and walked through the streets of the capital.

After a while, Liu Qi saw the old man sharpening the knife landing in a private house, and her eyes flickered as she landed in the narrow courtyard.

The old knife-sharpening old man opened the door and walked in. Then Liu Qi saw the room gradually light up with the rising candlelight.

"Come in and sit down." The voice of an old man sharpening a knife came from inside the room.

Liu Qi touched the handle of the knife at her waist with her left hand, and then stepped into the room.

At a glance, he saw the old man sharpening the knife taking off the broad-backed giant blade from behind and placing it on the bed without bedding.

Without the huge blade behind his back, the old man sharpening his knife seemed to have straightened up a lot.

"There is herbal tea in the pot. Pour it yourself." The old man sharpening the knife said without raising his head.

Liu Qi walked slowly to the table, lowered her head and glanced at the dark tabletop. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was this color originally or whether it was caused by the accumulation of dirt.

At this time, the old man sharpening the knife stood up, with two daggers hanging on his waist. When he saw Liu Qi standing motionless in front of the table, he suddenly understood, and then laughed in a low voice: "The disciples taught by Madam Mei, and We country folk are just different."

"Do you have something to give me, Mr. Dao?" Liu Qi said bluntly.

It’s unlikely that she was brought here just to drink this pot of tea that had been there for who knows how long, right?

"Do you still remember Liu Shiyi?"

Liu Qi nodded. When he went on a mission for the first time at Xiliu Villa, Liu Shiyi was among them. He still remembered that he was a handsome-looking young man with good martial arts skills.

"he died."

After the old knife-sharpening old man finished speaking, he stared at Liu Qi's eyes, but saw that there was no change in his eyes. He couldn't help but nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then continued: "He is not the only one who died. Something happened over there in Luozhou." Our people have almost all explained the matter."

Luozhou!

This is not the first time Liu Qi has heard this place name.

The evil monk Qingwu who was taken away by Bai Ze before escaped from a monastery called Jinlong Temple in Luozhou.

Liu Qi's face remained expressionless as he continued to listen to the old man sharpening his knife: "Have you ever had any friendship with Shen Zhuang before?"

Liu Qi nodded.

"Does he know your true identity?" The old knife-sharpening old man then asked.

Liu Qi shook his head. The old man who sharpened the knife mused: "Shen Zhuang was once the head of the Shen family. His connections in the world are far beyond what one can imagine. If it weren't for the illness of his little granddaughter..."

The old knife-sharpening old man said half of his words, then he looked directly at Liu Qi and said solemnly: "This is your order from your Majesty, asking you to wait for an opportunity to approach Shen Zhuang."

"Then what?" Liu Qi asked with a frown.

"Await orders."

……

……

Liu Mansion, side courtyard.

When Liu Qiyingying landed in the courtyard, she saw a person squatting at the door of the main house.

She restrained her breath, and then took steps to make a sound.

The sound of footsteps instantly woke up the person at the door of the main house, who suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng bowed and gave up his position at the door, watching Liu Qi enter the room.

Although the night was dark, Liu Qi seemed to be able to see the tension and anticipation in Zhang Cheng's eyes.

"The 'Judge' is dead." Liu Qi spat out four words.

call--

Zhang Cheng let out a long sigh of relief, his body trembled slightly and he almost fell backward.

"Get out of here!" Liu Qi said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The stone in Zhang Cheng's heart fell to the ground, he nodded like garlic, and then bowed all the way back to the door.

In fact, after Zhang Cheng saw Liu Qi's safe return, he already had a premonition, but it wasn't until he heard Liu Qi's own words, "The judge is dead," that Zhang Cheng felt that the lingering clouds finally dissipated.

……

Until I heard Zhang Cheng's footsteps completely disappearing.

Liu Qigang breathed a sigh of relief slowly, and without bothering to put the sword in her hand back into the belly of the piano, she went directly to the bed and turned over and lay down on the bed. Her body was arranged into a "big" character, and the sword was surrounded by her. Hold it in front of you.

Today's "game" is actually not difficult.

When she learned about the "Four Wonders of the South", she already guessed that this might be a trap set by the old man sharpening his sword.

How can there be so many masters who appear out of thin air in the world.

The "Four Wonders of the South" are most likely to be from the Jianghu forces that were destroyed due to the military order, just like Madam Mei.

As long as you think through this relationship, it is not difficult to guess who belongs to the "Four Wonders of the South".

Of course, Liu Qi also made preparations.

She asked all the sword slaves to gather near Fuxiangyuan, thinking that if she and the Black Prison Gate completely broke up, she would kill all the sword slaves on the spot.

As a result, when she saw Mother Li at the gate of Fuxiangyuan, she was sure that this was indeed a trap set by the old knife sharpener, because Mother Li's clothes were embroidered with the secret code for communication between knife slaves.

It wasn't until Ye Su showed up at the end that Liu Qi understood that this situation was not set up for "Judge" Yu An.

The purpose...I think it won't be long before the Golden Horse Chamber of Commerce will change its owner.

……

The next day, Cuixiang has not returned yet.

When it was time for breakfast, Zhang Cheng walked in with a smile and a food box.

After placing the breakfast food, Zhang Cheng took out another wooden box from the bottom of the food box and placed it respectfully in front of Liu Qi.

"Open."

Zhang Cheng opened the lid of the wooden box after hearing this.

Liu Qi glanced at it and saw three crystal clear jade ginseng neatly stacked in the box.

It was the jade ginseng that the old man who sharpened the knife agreed to. Although the quality was not as good as the thousand-year-old jade ginseng that was originally photographed, it was still precious enough.

Zhang Cheng took a look while closing the box, his eyes suddenly filled with envy.

Zhang Cheng closed the wooden box containing the jade ginseng, then smiled flatteringly and said: "Lao Dao also asked his subordinates to bring you a message, saying that the things given by 'Your Majesty' are on their way to the capital. You must see them." Will be satisfied!”

Ah!

It turned out to be something given by Your Majesty!

Liu Qi felt a strong interest in her heart. This was her first contact with the mysterious "Sir"!

What could it be?

With doubts in mind, the day passed quickly.

In the evening, Cuixiang also came back. While cleaning the room, she complained to Liu Qi in a low voice about her mother's illness. Every time she got sick, she got better quickly, and every time she recovered, her whole body felt refreshed instantly. He was as lively and energetic as if his previous illness was fake.

Cuixiang even began to wonder if her mother was pretending to be sick!

Liu Qi drank the tea lightly, thinking secretly in her heart: It seems that there will be another way to remove Cuixiang in the future.

……

"Piao Xue Chuan Yun Zhang... the name of this martial art is so nice!" Liu Xiangxiang murmured, "It's a pity that the person is dead, otherwise I could have let him be my master!"

While Liu Qi was eating snacks, his eyes glanced at the thin booklet in Liu Xiangxiang's hand. The title page had the words "Chronicles of Jianghu" written on it.

This should be Daqi’s Jianghu Weekly!

Published by Antai Bookstore, the largest bookseller in the capital, one volume is released in the middle and end of each month, priced at 20 taels of silver per volume.

Most of the various rivers and lakes anecdotes recorded in the book took place in the capital and several surrounding prefectures and counties. Whether in terms of timeliness or authenticity, they are far inferior to Liu Qi's wandering ghosts.

Of course, it’s full of fun!

For example, Ye Su's death in Fuxiangyuan actually led him to rewrite thousands of words of love and hatred, occupying 80% of the content of this thin book.

However, Liu Xiangxiang enjoyed watching it, and was obviously fascinated by the snow-piercing cloud palm described in the book as "snowflakes flying, frost thousands of miles away".

Liu Qi casually glanced at a paragraph and shook her head.

Ordinary people are really exaggerated about the filters of Jianghu.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps walking towards the room. Liu Qi pulled the corner of Liu Xiangxiang's clothes, trying to remind her.

But Liu Xiangxiang, who was looking at her intently, would not pay attention to her.

Suddenly I felt a figure standing in front of me.

Liu Xiangxiang's eyes slowly moved up until they met Zhou's cold eyes.

"Mother~"

"lady."

Zhou seemed to take a deep breath, then looked past Liu Xiangxiang and landed on Liu Qi beside her, and then she couldn't help but frown.
