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

After Qi Ze finished his shift, he returned to the Qi Mansion. After changing his clothes, he went to the front yard with his wife to pay his respects.

Seeing that Qi Ze looked unhappy, Zheng asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, husband?"

Qi Ze shook his head, "Don't ask, I'll tell my grandfather later."

"Yes, husband." Zheng responded.

Arriving at the front yard, Qi Ze and his wife paid their respects to their grandfather and parents.

Qi Yuan and Qi Wan stood up to meet their brother and sister-in-law.

After the greetings, everyone sat down and the servants served tea. Zheng knew that her husband had something important to say, so she stood up, bowed, and walked outside with the servants to stand still.

Seeing that only his family members were in the room, Qi Ze spoke up, "I heard a piece of news today, and I don't know whether it's true or not, so I came to tell Grandfather."

Old Master Qi asked, "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

Qi Ze said, "I heard from General Hu today that Commander Zuo is going to use cattle to set fire to the West Mountain tomorrow, and he also said he wants to burn down the Ghost Valley."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

Qi Wan's face turned gloomy, and her eyes were filled with anger. "You dog emperor is looking for death." She bit her lip to prevent herself from cursing out loud.

Pei was so shocked that she stood up, "How can this be possible? That's our villa! There are so many households around it, aren't they all in danger?"

Qi Lu quickly asked, "Is this true?"

Qi Ze nodded, "It is absolutely true. Commander Zuo told General Hu himself that he wanted to buy cattle and set fire to the mountain."

"This is simply nonsense!" Old Master Qi slammed the table and said angrily, "Isn't this harming people?"

He thought for a moment and quickly ordered, "Hurry up and send someone to our villa to bring the servants back. Notify as many families as possible and let them prepare."

The butler responded and left in a hurry.

Qi Wan was furious and cursed inwardly: "This dog emperor is so heartless. Not only did he hunt down my brother Qin, he even wanted to set fire to the mountain! He wants to burn the Ghost Valley to ashes! If this happens, I don't know how many innocent people will be buried in the sea of ​​fire, and how many people will be left homeless."

In Qi Wan's heart, Ghost Valley is another beautiful home that she longs for. Not only is the scenery there beautiful and charming, but it also contains the wonderful memories of her meeting and recognizing her brother Qin again.

Rumor has it that many people who entered Ghost Valley died.

In fact, Wu Yi said, "The dead were bad guys, so the farmers used wolves to scare them. After being scared, they dared not go in again. In order to prevent their own children from going in, they made up a story that there was a ghost in the valley."

Wu Yi smiled and said, “Since then, we guards have been flying around in white clothes when we see people coming in, scaring away countless people. There have been more rumors that there are ghosts in Ghost Valley.”

"So that's how it is." Qi Wan understood and praised, "What a clever idea."

Wu Yi took a look at his master and knew that there was a ghost. He scared her with the wolf, but he still broke into the Ghost Valley just to find her and ask her, "Do you have any enemies? Are you living well in the valley?"

This touched Wu Yi every time he thought of it, "She is so good to me, I must protect my master well."

In the front yard, Qi Lu was talking to Old Master Qi in a low voice. He asked in confusion, "Father, the emperor sent Commander Zuo to look for bandits everywhere. Before, everyone thought that the tax silver was lost. Now that the tax silver has been found, he is actually trying to find the bandits by setting fire to the mountain. This is more like killing people to silence them. Why do you think this is?"

Old Master Qi pinched his goatee, frowned, and muttered, "This is like the emperor has encountered a formidable opponent and is trying every possible way to get rid of him."

He pondered, "Who in this world could be a threat to the Emperor?"

Suddenly, Old Master Qi's eyes widened with a look of disbelief, "No, it can't be him."

"Grandfather, who is that person?" Qi Yuan asked curiously.

He really wanted to know who the greatest emperor in the world was afraid of.

Old Master Qi waved his hands and said, "No, no."

His face was filled with anticipation, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he secretly hoped, "If Prince Qin is really alive, that would be a great thing."

He decided to start chanting Buddha's name today and ask for Bodhisattva's blessing.

Old Master Qi, who had never believed in Buddhism or religion, became pious for the sake of that glimmer of hope in his heart.

Qi Wan sat in the hall, lowered her head and listened to her family members talking. She tried her best to remain calm and did not show any anger on her face.

After Qi Wan said goodbye and returned to Yilan Courtyard, she first gave instructions to Wu Yi: "Notify the people in the valley as soon as possible and tell them that the emperor is sending people to burn the mountain."

When Wu Yi heard the news, she was shocked: "What? Burning the mountain? Wouldn't countless people die because of this?" She had been guarding outside the corridor and did not hear what Qi Ze said.

"Yes, many people will die." Qi Wan sighed helplessly.

"I'm going to kill Commander Zuo who is searching the mountain right now!" Wu Yi said with gritted teeth. She and her brothers in the valley all knew that Commander Zuo had been leading people around the mountain searching for bandits recently.

A brother named Xiao Dao cursed at the time: "I think this guy named Zuo is a bandit."

Another brother named Fei Yang said, "I'll just go and kill him, so he doesn't have to keep yelling 'bandit, bandit, bandit' every day."

They were furious that someone dared to call their master Wang Qin a bandit.

Wang Qin told them to leave it alone for now, "Search him and let the world see what kind of crap the stupid emperor is using."

When Qi Wan heard that Wu Yi wanted to kill someone, he hurriedly stopped him, "No, you can't act impulsively. Even if you kill Commander Zuo, there are still other commanders. You can't kill them all."

"Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and wait to die, right?" Wu Yi looked depressed.

"Don't worry, I've thought of a good idea." Qi Wan said confidently, "Go and inform the people in the valley, tell them to be alert and take precautions."

"Okay, master." Wu Yi nodded in agreement, then quickly disappeared from the spot.

When night fell, Wang Qin received an urgent message from Wu Yi, "Tomorrow morning, General Zuo Xing will lead his soldiers to drive the cattle to the West Mountain and set fire to the mountain. His purpose is to burn down our Ghost Valley."

Wang Qin was furious when he heard this. "Does he want to burn the people alive? Or does he want to burn me to death as well?"

"He set me on fire last time, and he dared to do it again. I will definitely not forgive him easily this time."

What made Wang Qin most angry was that in order to fight for the throne, Wang Jin actually killed innocent people one after another.

If it was just brothers killing each other, it might be considered an internal struggle, but for the throne, he had already caused the deaths of countless people. And now, he was planning to set fire to the mountain. It was hard to imagine how many people would die tragically in the raging mountain fire, and how many farms would be reduced to ashes by the fire.

All of Wang Qin's men were quietly waiting for his orders.

Finally, Wang Qin made a major decision: "Sneak into the palace in the middle of the night and kill that idiot directly!"

"As ordered."

At three o'clock in the morning, Wang Qin led his men out of the Ghost Valley on horseback and quickly got on the official road.

Fei Yang was at the front. As soon as he got on the official road, he pointed ahead and whispered, "Look! The capital is on fire."

Wang Qin looked up and saw that the sky was burning red. The fire was right at the imperial palace.

He pulled the horse back, thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back."

"Feiyang went to get the news."

"Yes." A shadow rode forward like lightning and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
