Two days ago, all the supplies, weapons, artillery, and even the defense maps of the Ye family's nine passes in Jiaozhou were confiscated. He had guessed that it must have been him who bought grain and privately manufactured weapons.
Now, they dare to openly come to his residence, kill his guards, and threaten him to take the map of Qi Baguan.
absurd.
That's ridiculous.
Despite being from a noble family, he acted like a feudal lord and coveted the imperial throne.
For thousands of years, aristocratic families have ruled the world together with the royal family, and there has never been such a rebellious person before. His actions clearly indicate that he wants his aristocratic family to openly oppose the court in the capital.
"Duke Qi was indeed upright and incorruptible."
Yan Beimo glanced down at him from his high vantage point and chuckled.
"It's a pity that the world cannot have two masters, and the situation of the aristocratic families and the emperor ruling together should change."
As the head of the Qi family, Qi Tian naturally understood what he meant.
The powerful families were content with the status quo, while the current emperor, who came from humble origins, was ruthless and, upon taking the throne, immediately reclaimed the eastern region and suppressed the powerful families.
The higher-ups have long been dissatisfied.
However, the rules left by our ancestors dictate that aristocratic families should not get involved in the struggle for imperial power, should not overthrow the monarch, and should not be involved in politics.
Moreover, the heads of the four major clans in Yandu are still alive, so it is not up to Yan Beimo to make decisions. To openly threaten them and commit murder and slaughter is simply insane.
"Without the patriarch's order, I cannot obey."
Upon hearing this, Yan Beimo raised an eyebrow slightly, slowly put down the teacup, and his strangely red lips curled up slightly.
"I've heard that Duke Qi has a daughter he dotes on greatly—"
Upon hearing this, Qi Tian's eyes turned bloodshot with rage.
"what are you up to?"
"kill."
His voice was light and airy, carrying an undisguised malice and indifference.
Qi Tian angrily tried to charge forward, but was firmly held down by the guards.
Before he could say anything, cries and shouts came in intermittently from outside, mixed with countless footsteps.
"My lord, master—"
"Father, Father--"
A dozen or so beautiful young women and children under five years old were brought up. Seeing the bloody scene outside the corridor, they all turned pale with fright, and some of the more timid ones fainted on the spot.
"Mother, corpses, so many corpses--"
Qi Tian's eyes were filled with anger and ferocity, and his clenched fists cracked loudly.
Yan Beimo calmly looked at Qi Yuan, who had been brought in, and saw her pale face filled with fear. A mocking smile flashed across his eyes.
Qi Yuan was terrified. Having lived a secluded life for many years, she had never seen so many dead people before.
Especially after being brought in, seeing the man in the main seat above, fear instantly swept over her, and she couldn't help but fall to the ground.
The man's eyes seemed gentle, but she felt as if she were being coiled by a python; beneath his playful gaze lay a chilling, icy abyss.
"Father, Father--"
She couldn't help but move closer to Qi Tian, trembling as she tried to avoid him.
Qi Tian's eyes blazed with fury. He patted his daughter reassuringly and glared at the unmoved man.
“You are so heartless and audacious, the gentry will never tolerate you.”
Yan Beimo fiddled with the small object in his hand, tilting his head, the smile on his lips inexplicably eerie.
"Is Duke Qi hoping my elder brother will save you?"
Qi Tian was taken aback, his eyes stiffening slightly.
His face darkened, and he was speechless for a moment.
The powerful families in the world were also divided into classes. The high-ranking families lived in Yandu for a long time, while the other families were scattered in various prefectures and counties.
They all regarded the Lanling Yan clan as their leader, and the legitimate sons of the Yan clan were even more noble than princes and princesses.
However, the current head of the Yan family dotes on his eldest son, Yan Liangyu, who was born out of wedlock.
From the moment Yan Liangyu was born, he was registered under the name of the mistress and raised as a legitimate son.
Yan Beimo has not returned to Yandu for many years, fighting on the battlefield. The head of the Yan family dislikes this eldest son very much and even arranged for him to marry a princess of a fallen kingdom. All the power in the Yan family is left to Yan Liangyu.
Naturally, this lowly clan sought protection and thus became closer to Yan Liangyu.
However, Yan Beimo was always the legitimate son, and his status and position were unmatched by any other aristocratic family in Yandu or even by the royal families of various parts of the Nine Provinces.
Of course, no ethnic group dared to openly side with Yan Liangyu.
No matter how good the Qi family was to Yan Liangyu, they would never openly admit it.
"No matter what, without the patriarch's order, I cannot obey."
"Hmm." Yan Beimo smiled faintly. "Very good."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a white blade flashed, and a piercing scream instantly echoed throughout the entire hall.
Blood-red eyeballs flew past and rolled to the ground.
Qi Tian stared in shock as he watched his daughter being blinded. His eyes were filled with terror, and his throat felt like it was being choked, leaving him unable to utter a sound.
Qi Yuan was in excruciating pain, rolling on the ground with her eyes covered in a pathetic display of decency, blood flowing from between her fingers and pooling on the floor.
"Ah--it hurts, it hurts so much, Dad, help me, help me--"
"Outrageous! This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"
Qi Tian was filled with rage and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
As he watched the blade fall again, he rushed over and held his daughter, who had fainted from the pain, in his arms.
Nightfall sheathed her sword, her gaze icy.
"So, is Duke Qi willing to speak now?"
Yan Beimo glanced at him sideways, his expression gentle, unlike that of a madman.
Seeing his appearance, Qi Tian felt a sudden fear deep in his heart. He suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and remained silent.
Seeing this, Ye San kicked him away and stabbed the knife in his hand mercilessly toward Qi Yuan's heart.
Qi Tian was heartbroken and shouted urgently, "Spring breeze crosses, fragrance spreads for ten miles."
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Yan Beimo slowly stood up.
He looked at the man whose hair seemed to have turned white overnight, his expression calm and unchanged, and strode out.
"My lord."
Night Hawk followed, and seeing that the person in front had not given any instructions, he instantly understood.
Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots to prevent future troubles.
He gave a look behind him, and a piercing scream instantly rang out, engulfing the entire mansion.
The news of the Qi family being wiped out overnight spread throughout Yandu.
Yan Liangyu was in Chunfeng Pavilion when he heard the news.
After being shocked, he flew into a rage, kicked the several beautiful maids off him, put on his robe, and got off the bed.
"What?! They're all dead?!"
The kneeling guard kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to look at the several beautiful maids who had rolled to the ground.
"They said they were killed in retaliation by their enemies, but our people found out that Lord Junhou had visited the Qi residence."
"Yanbei Desert, it's Yanbei Desert again."
Yan Liangyu's eyes were filled with malice, and in her anger, she slammed the wine jar on the table and threw it away.
"As soon as he came back, he deliberately took revenge on me, gave me a hard time, and killed my men. Well done, really well done."
All he did was persuade his father to take away the former emperor's 100,000 troops and marry a princess of a fallen kingdom, yet he dared to be so bold as to directly destroy the Qi family as a warning.
The anger in his heart was like a raging fire, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he roared.
"Get out, get out of here."
The guards were already used to it and silently withdrew.
The naked maidservant kneeling on the ground dared not move, her scalded skin trembling slightly.
The eldest son has a peculiar personality and enjoys torturing people in bed. Now that he's so angry, they can't avoid being humiliated again.
The lights inside the room flickered on and off. Yan Liangyu was so angry that he went mad, and the half of his face hidden in the darkness was twisted in a grotesque way.
He grabbed the objects on the table, pulled up the beautiful maid on the ground, and vented his anger.
"ah--"
