In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.

In this valley, bright red lanterns are hung in every corner, filling the entire valley with a festive atmosphere.

The courtyard at the center of the valley is particularly eye-catching. It is hung with red ribbons and a big red wedding character is posted on the door, as if announcing to everyone that a grand wedding had been held here.

When you walk into the room, you can see red dragon and phoenix candles burning brightly. Their light illuminates the entire room, making it full of warmth and romance.

In the inner room of the main courtyard, the newlyweds Wang Qin and Qi Wan were sitting quietly in the warm room playing chess, their faces filled with happy smiles.

At this moment, everything around seems to become unimportant, only the chessboard in front of you and each other are the most important.

They were concentrating on thinking about what to do next, and occasionally smiled at each other. That tacit understanding made people feel extremely warm.

During this festive day, they enjoyed their own quiet time and looked forward to more beautiful moments in the future.

Wang Qin quietly told Qi Wan about the situation in Nan'an:

The recently deceased Conti was his uncle and a half-sister of his mother.

Because the Nan'an Kingdom had been fighting with the surrounding foreign tribes for many years, it had consumed too much manpower and financial resources, and its national strength was becoming weaker and weaker.

Several foreign tribes intermarried and joined forces to fight against the Nangan Kingdom.

The Nan'an Kingdom refused to make peace with any foreign tribes and had always been at war with them. As a result, many of the royal family's descendants died on the battlefield.

The crown prince and the second prince of this generation were involved in serious internal strife due to the involvement of their external relatives. In order to obtain the throne, they both wanted to gain military merit and lead troops into battle, but they both died on the battlefield.

Emperor Kang was so angry that he fell ill when he saw that he had no legitimate sons or grandsons. Before he died, he called Wang Qin back and said, "You must take over the throne of Nan'an and unify the world. This is the common wish of my father and your father. You must avenge the dead descendants of the Li family, cut off the heads of the foreign leaders, and exterminate their clans."

Wang Qin knelt down and promised, "I will do my best."

Most of the people who supported Wang Qin were members of the royal family. For example, the former Crown Princess Xiao Xihua only gave birth to a five-year-old daughter. She wanted her daughter to be the queen, so she instigated a palace coup by her external relatives and tried to kill him.

Qi Wan curled her lips after hearing this, "There is a woman in Nan'an who wants to take power, and there is one in Pu Dynasty who has taken power. I'm afraid they are lost sisters."

Wang Qin chuckled, "They are now allied."

"Looking for death!" Qi Wan muttered.

She decided to go all out. She put her hands in her sleeves, turned a rosary, and said silently, "Take away all the wealth of Xiao Xihua, the former Crown Princess of Nan'an."

There were flashes of lightning outside and the rain was getting heavier.

Along with the sound of rain, there were subtle noises coming, as if someone was jumping lightly on the roof, or someone was walking slowly in front of and behind the house.

Qi Wan looked at Wang Qin beside him in astonishment and asked in a very low voice: "Is the killer here?"

Wang Qin nodded slightly, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

"Can someone with this level of skill be called a top master?" Qi Wan's face was filled with disbelief and he was stunned.

Wang Qin threw down the chess piece, took Qi Wan's hand and said, "Let's go and live a sweet life. Someone will take care of the garbage cleaning."

The two walked into the inner room hand in hand, enjoying their newlywed life.

Outside the house, the killers successfully entered the valley, passed the campsite, and sneaked into the yard with red silk hanging and red wedding stickers.

Huang Yi muttered, "This group of people are so stupid, they are showing us the way."

When they sneaked into the courtyard, they saw several guards leaning against the wall listlessly, and palace servants serving tea and water, and a maid was directing servants to carry water for washing, "Your Majesty and the Queen want to take a bath."

Huang Yi waved his hand, and the group of people behind him quickly dispersed. Their movements were skillful and agile, and they were well-trained. Their footsteps were light, and they moved through the darkness like ghosts.

Huang Yi's eyes widened. He saw with his own eyes that two figures were reflected on the window. One was a tall and straight man, and the other was a graceful woman. It was obvious that this must be the main courtyard.

Huang Yi couldn't help but feel excited when thinking about the honor, wealth and glory that were about to come to him.

Huang Yi was seen holding a large bow, walking at the front of the team with his head held high, with greed and ambition flashing in his eyes.

He was determined to accomplish this extraordinary feat in order to win the favor and reward of Empress Dowager Lu.

Just when he was filled with joy and pride, suddenly several ghostly black shadows flashed past his eyes.

Huang Yi was shocked and froze involuntarily. Before he could react, a flash of cold light flashed across the night sky, and then he felt a sharp pain in his head, and then he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, other killers met the same fate.

Before they even had time to see the enemy's appearance clearly, they were quickly knocked to the ground by ghostly figures, and the weapons in their hands were confiscated one after another.

If this place was not the owner's yard, Wu Yi and others would have lost control of their temper and killed all the intruders on the spot.

Wang Qin's men called over and dragged a group of killers away from the main courtyard. They killed the people who were in the front outside the valley. The others who were walking behind had their hands or feet chopped off.

Those people woke up in severe pain, and looking at the blood and corpses on the ground, their hearts were filled with fear and despair.

They kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please let us go! General Huang bribed us to kill people!" Only then did they truly understand what a master was and they felt extremely regretful.

Fei Yang said coldly: "Get out of here immediately. If I see you here again, I will kill you all like I did to these people." His voice was cold and ruthless, making people shudder.

After hearing these words, those who had lost their hands and feet were so frightened that they immediately fled the scene, crawling away.

They knew that they had offended a terrible person, and they were afraid that they would be discovered and hunted down by Empress Dowager Lu. So they decided to sneak out of the capital at night and disappear from the scene. No one knew where they went.

Xiao Dao had no intention of letting Huang Yi go, "He was the one who picked the assassin, and he wanted to kill our master to get the reward."

"Why not take his head and hang it on the city wall of the capital?" Feiyang suggested.

Wu Yi pointed at the unconscious Huang Yi and said, "He is Empress Dowager Lu's favorite male concubine. Let's return him to Empress Dowager Lu's side."

"I'll do it." A man came forward with a sword and slashed at Huang Yi's body a few times.

Feiyang was familiar with the palace, and he took his men to send Huang Yi to the capital.

Late at night, Empress Dowager Lu was alone on her bed in her bedroom, waiting anxiously, as if every day was like a year. Finally, at three o'clock in the morning, she heard a faint sound of footsteps approaching from afar.

She turned over and sat up excitedly, and asked impatiently, "Are you back with your success?" Her voice was full of anticipation and joy.

What responded to her was not the familiar voice, but the dull sound of a heavy object being thrown onto the bed.

Empress Dowager Lu took a closer look and discovered that the person lying on the bed was Huang Yi!

When she looked at it carefully, she couldn't help but tremble with fear.

Huang Yi was seen lying there, as if he had no breath, his body covered in blood, his lower body naked, and the thing that Empress Dowager Lu loved most had been cruelly cut off.

Queen Mother Lu raised her head in horror and looked around, but the room was empty.

A chill ran down her spine, and she couldn't help but scream, "Ah, someone come quickly!" The scream pierced the silence of the night sky, echoing in the empty palace and spreading several miles away...
