After Liu Qi left, Da Qiao sat in front of the memorial tablet and cried for a long time before falling into a deep sleep.

Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao watched silently, with mixed feelings in their hearts. Xiao Qiao wanted to help him, but was held down by Zhou Yu.

If this news is true, it will be like a thunderbolt from the blue to Jiangdong, and it will even completely collapse. Years of hard work will be in vain, and Sun Ce's trust will be in vain.

Zhou Yu stared at the spirit tablet in a daze. After a long time, he wiped away his tears, forced himself to calm down, and helped Xiao Qiao stagger away.

After leaving the cave, the mountain breeze was slightly cold, and the two of them were shocked. Looking at the cool night, they felt as if they were experiencing a nightmare.

"What should we... do?" Xiao Qiao raised his head and touched Zhou Yu's soaked skirt.

Zhou Yu secretly gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "This matter must not be mentioned to anyone, including my father-in-law."

"But sister, she..."

"I have my own sense of proportion!" Zhou Yu raised his head and took a deep breath. The bright moon was in the sky, and the silver light was falling. He said slowly: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down!"

When Liu Qi returned to his residence, he could not sleep for a long time. No matter what Da Qiao said was true or false, it was difficult for him to interfere in Jiangdong's affairs, but he wanted to solve the mystery. This was a thorny issue.

Early the next morning, they immediately called Xu Shu for discussion. Xu Shu was shocked when he heard this. He frowned and said, "If Sun Ce is killed and there really is someone behind it, it will be a shocking secret. But the general is in the enemy camp, so he needs to think twice."

, once you fall into it, it will be difficult to get out, and major events will be delayed.”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "I am also worried about this matter. Even if it were Zhou Yu, it would be very difficult, let alone me."

Liu Qi sighed in his heart. After all, he was not a master at solving crimes. What's more, he had to move easily when investigating the case, or hide his identity to collect evidence. He was in the open and was being monitored everywhere in Soochow, so there was no way to start.

Xu Shu pondered for a moment and said: "If this matter is confirmed, Jiangdong will definitely collapse, and the general can take the opportunity to go east and seize all of Jiangnan. Regardless of public or private, it will be beneficial to the great cause, and it is worth a try."

Liu Qi's heart moved. At this moment, Ji Miao came in with a medicinal soup and handed him the square silk handkerchief to check whether the blood stains were abnormal.

Ji Ping is a master of poisoning. The ancestors of the Ji family started their business by selling rat poison. They used poison to detoxify a lot, and gradually learned the medical skills.

Ji Miao sniffed it first, frowned and said, "It has been many years and the blood has dried up. I don't know if the poison is still there. I'll do my best."

After eating and drinking, the envoy from Soochow came to report that Mrs. Wu would go to the temple later. After meeting with Liu Qi, she could go down the mountain and return to the city. This villa should still be left to the old lady.

Liu Qi ordered people to pack his things and went down the mountain with Xu Shu first, discussing Sun Ce's affairs along the way. It is really sad that such a hero died in a conspiracy.

Xu Shu came from a martial arts background. He was arrested by the government for killing someone to avenge his friends. He admired the assassins who were willing to avenge Xu Gong, but if this vendetta was a conspiracy, that would be a different matter.

A person who is purely loyal to the Lord and kills the enemy for revenge is a righteous man. If he is used by others and involves other interests, he is a desperado.

While sighing, he secretly rejoiced. Sun Ce's death also indirectly helped Jingzhou. If Sun Ce had led the army, he would have captured Jiangxia and entered Jingzhou. How could there be a chance for Liu Qi to rise?

As soon as he arrived outside the temple gate, a red figure suddenly flashed out of the side door next to him. Accompanied by the clear sound of dragon roars, a cold light pierced towards Liu Qi.

"Be careful of assassins!" Xu Shu shouted loudly, drawing his sword and moving forward.

"Leave me alone!" Liu Qi did not slow down at all, and went straight to meet him without drawing his sword.

There was only a soft sound, and before the cold light could get close, it suddenly rebounded and flew out in the air.

"Hey!" In the crisp voice, Liu Qi was so shocked that the figure took several steps back. It turned out to be a woman.

Zhao Yun was flying up from behind. When he saw Liu Qi's attack like thunder and wind, blocking the opponent's sword, he couldn't help but stop his feet and his eyes were slightly glaring.

Judging from Liu Qi's current skills, he did not try his best in the previous competition, but he has made rapid progress, which shows that his reputation as a master is more and more worthy of his reputation.

"You... are obscene!" The pretty face of the woman in red was red, matching her armor, and her almond-shaped eyes were wide open. It was the villain who complained first.

"I'm mean?" Liu Qi raised his arm slightly, pointed the scabbard on the opponent's chest upward, put it against his white chin, and sneered: "You are still mean!"

Xu Shu pointed the tip of his sword at the opponent, his eyes cold: "Who are you, who dare to assassinate the Marquis of Xiangyang?"

The woman raised her hand to remove the scabbard of the sword and raised her chin slightly: "I am Sun Shangxiang."

"It turns out to be Miss Sun!" Xu Shu was startled, took back his sword, and silently retreated to Liu Qi's side.

At this moment, several maids hurriedly ran to the door, all of them were dressed in military uniforms, with scimitars on their waists, and looked dashing and heroic.

Liu Qi looked at Sun Shangxiang, who had slender eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, and a pretty face with a sinister look on her face. Probably because of years of martial arts training, she had a tight figure, curvy figures, and was as elastic as a cheetah.

Looking at this curvy figure, Liu Qi secretly sighed: It’s hard to control this woman!

"Sure enough, he is a scoundrel!" Sun Shangxiang noticed that Liu Qi had a bad look in his eyes. He couldn't help but take two steps back and yelled: "You deserve to be killed!"

"Uh, cough!" Liu Qi coughed dryly and cupped his fists and said, "Miss, you misunderstood. Why did you assassinate me just now?"

Sun Shangxiang took the sword picked up by the maid and pointed it at Liu Qi again: "Although I am a daughter, I am determined to be better than a man. If I am not a hero in the world, I will never get married. I heard from Sister Xiao Qiao that you have misbehaved. If you want to see my mother, you must go there first.

I’ll talk about it later.”

Liu Qi smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that the young lady is brave and brave. All the maids and maids practice martial arts. There are weapons in the room. Although the men are not as good as her, she is indeed worthy of her reputation."

"Hmph, it's good to know!" Sun Shangxiang straightened his body proudly and struck a pose, "Let's make a move!"

This looks like the temperament of a young lady who has been pampered since childhood. Liu Qi was also about to try his swordsmanship, cupping his fists and saying: "Please teach me."

Sun Shangxiang asked: "Why don't you draw your sword?"

"It's only safe if you have a sheath!" Liu Qi raised the scabbard again and said slowly: "My sword will never stab a woman, especially a beautiful woman."

"What a mouthful!" Sun Shangxiang's eyebrows flashed with a trace of unconcealable joy, but he shouted sharply and raised his sword to stab him.

Liu Qi stepped forward. Although the green sword was not unsheathed, his moves were not affected. He had already tested Sun Shangxiang's average strength just now, so he dared to accept the challenge. Otherwise, wouldn't he be humiliating himself?

Sure enough, although Sun Shangxiang is known to be good at martial arts, he mostly practices sword dancing moves, which is completely different from Wang Yue's sword skills.

Liu Qi also aimed to establish his power in this battle and suppress Sun Shangxiang's arrogance. He used a unique move to kill Sun Shangxiang in less than ten seconds. She retreated steadily, and the sword almost came out again.

Sun Shangxiang stepped away, looked at Liu Qi again, and frowned slightly: "I didn't expect that the master's swordsmanship is so good."

"I agree!" Liu Qi clasped his fists and said, "Actually, my marksmanship is even better!"

"Oh?" Sun Shangxiang raised his eyebrows, "My archery skills are also better, and I can shoot accurately!"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "I will fight you for three hundred rounds in the future!"
