"Do you know that if you had really gone to see King Yama just now, you would have been the fish in the general's net now!" Qin Zhihan's face was full of anger.

Qin Zhihao and Qin Jinshu were shocked again.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Why can't Shuer understand?" Qin Jinshu widened her eyes.

"Don't understand? If you don't understand, then I'll explain it more clearly - the King of Hell has been targeted by someone for a long time, and he doesn't even know it."

"Brother, are you saying that the people in the General's Mansion have already set their sights on King Yama? How is that possible!" Qin Zhihao found it unbelievable.

Qin Zhihan snorted coldly, "The spies I sent out have confirmed that the General's Mansion's secret guards have long been hiding near the East City Gate. The reason they haven't taken action is probably that they are waiting to see which fish will take the bait. You two idiots are still trying to get into their trap!"

Qin Zhihao was so shocked that he was speechless.

After a while, he said worriedly, "I'm afraid my previous contact with King Yama has been exposed..."

Qin Zhihan glanced at him and said unhappily: "What do you think?"

Qin Jinshu's face had already turned pale. She tightly grasped the sleeve of Qin Zhihao, who was kneeling next to her, and her body was trembling slightly.

"Father, brother, what should we do now?" Qin Zhihao calmed himself down and asked.

Qin Zhihan took a deep breath and said, "The General's Mansion didn't cause you any trouble only because there was no evidence. If there was evidence, they would have gone to the Emperor to file a complaint long ago..."

Before Qin Zhihan finished speaking, Qin Jinshu had already collapsed on the ground, "But, if Madam Tai and Brother Beiyan knew that I was the one who ordered those men in black to kill Shen Qingyin, I'm afraid, I'm afraid they will never agree to let me marry into the general's mansion..."

Qin Zhihan frowned, his expression became even uglier, "Wake up, Shu'er, Mu Beiyan and his grandson didn't like you in the first place, can't you see that even without Shen Qingyin, you may not have a chance!"

Prince An also sighed, "Shu'er, don't think about marrying into the general's mansion anymore. Your father will agree to whatever kind of husband you want to choose in the future. Stop it in time, otherwise someone will find fault with you and implicate the entire Prince An's mansion, ruining your plan!"

Hearing her elder brother and father say this, Qin Jinshu started crying unwillingly.

She shouted, "No, I won't! I don't want to marry anyone else, I want to marry Brother Beiyan!"

"Hmph, it seems that I have spoiled you on a daily basis, causing you to act so willfully! Come, take the princess back to the courtyard and keep her under guard. She is not allowed to step out of the courtyard without my order!" Prince An slammed the table and shouted angrily.

Immediately a maid came over to pull Qin Jinshu, but Qin Jinshu struggled.

Suddenly, as if she discovered something, she looked at her elder brother Qin Zhihan, and then at her father Qin Huai, "No, elder brother, father, you are not like this! Didn't you clearly support me marrying into the general's mansion before? Why do you all disagree today? Why is it?"

Hearing this, Qin Zhihan unconsciously looked away.

Qin Huai's eyes flashed, "Now is different from the past. Anyway, father and your elder brother will not harm you. You should stay in the palace and not go anywhere."

"No, father, please tell me, why is this happening?" Qin Jinshu asked persistently.

Qin Huai waved his hand and the maid dragged the person out.

"Father, brother, even if you don't tell Shu'er, you can at least tell me why this happened?" Qin Zhihao asked as he listened to Qin Jinshu's shouting fading away.

Shu'er is right.

He also felt something was wrong.

Although my father and elder brother didn't say much before, their attitude made it clear that they supported my sister's marriage to the general's mansion.

Not only did he allow his sister to frequently visit the general's residence to pay respects to the lady dowager, he even tacitly allowed his mother to accompany his sister to the palace to ask the emperor for a marriage.

But today, my father and elder brother acted out of character and asked my sister to stop thinking about marrying into the general's mansion.

"Ahem..." Prince An coughed lightly, "Hao'er, you don't have to ask about this matter. It's more important to deal with the aftermath of Yanluo Pavilion as soon as possible."

Speaking of Yanluo Pavilion, Qin Zhihao looked guilty.

He never expected that his secret contact with Yanluo Pavilion had been discovered by the General's Mansion. He was careless.

No, maybe he shouldn't have provoked them in the first place...

Thinking about how I was almost caught red-handed by the people from the General's Mansion tonight, I couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He lowered his head and turned to his father and elder brother for help, "Father, elder brother, I know I was wrong... What should I do now?"

Qin Zhihan's face was stern, and he snorted, "Humph, Yanluo Pavilion is so bold that it dares to bully our Anwang Mansion. In this case, let's just go all out——"

Qin Zhihao was startled and his eyes widened, "What does big brother mean?"

"That's right, it's what you think. Keeping them around will be a source of trouble. If you don't take the opportunity to get rid of them, you will regret it endlessly." A trace of determination flashed in Qin Zhihan's eyes.

"But brother, the people in Yanluo Pavilion are all top-notch masters. They are not easy to deal with..." Qin Zhihao knew this very well.

Qin Zhihan raised his hand to signal him to stop talking, "How many people know that you are secretly communicating with King Yan Luo?"

Qin Zhihao hesitated for a moment, "Except for a few of my followers, there are probably only King Yanluo and the four or five followers around him... There is a strict confidentiality system within the Yanluo Pavilion. Others will only obey King Yanluo's orders, but they don't know the inside story..."

"That's good. Let's get rid of King Yama and his followers first!" Qin Zhihan made the decision immediately.

After a pause, he continued, "As for your followers, you should understand——"

Qin Zhihao lowered his head: "Yes, brother."

Prince An nodded towards Qin Zhihan with satisfaction.

As expected of his eldest son, he has the spirit of a great general and will achieve great things in the future...

"Pass on my order. Immediately go outside the city and dispatch a hundred Flying Tiger soldiers to stand by." Qin Zhihan lowered his voice and spoke to the close guard standing beside him.

When Qin Zhihao heard that the Flying Tigers were going to be dispatched, he was stunned.

The Flying Tiger Army is a group of soldiers secretly raised outside the city by Prince An's Mansion. There are about a thousand of them. They are usually scattered in several farms outside the city, disguised as farmers, and inconspicuous. Although their number is not large, each of them is strong and they are all death warriors.

These soldiers have always been in the hands of the eldest brother Qin Zhihan.

Without his orders, no one can command.

My eldest brother once said that these soldiers should be saved for use at the most critical moment.

I didn't expect that in order to get rid of King Yama, they would actually use... But there was no better way, and the palace soldiers could not be used...

"Yes, Your Highness." The guard took the token handed over by Qin Zhihan and quickly left.

The General's Mansion.

It was already the end of the Xu hour, but the lights were still on in the Xiang'an Hall.

Shen Qingyin and Madam Mu were discussing matters in a low voice when the leader of the secret guards came in and reported:

"Reporting to Madam Tai, Madam, when Qin Zhihao and Qin Jinshu were about to reach the East City Gate, they were stopped and turned back."

"Could it be that they discovered our people?" Shen Qingyin was puzzled.
