Chapter 366 - 363: Restoring Order? Ambush!
Qin Liuxi was preparing to return home when Song Ye came with a personal soldier.
"General, this is..." Qin Liuxi glanced at his plain common clothes, his eyebrows slightly raised.
Song Ye sneered, "Wei Caizhou is dead. Before my sister could divorce him, he died under horse hooves, still bearing the title of my brother-in-law, so I have to wear these plain white clothes."
Qin Liuxi said, "What about his concubine?"
"Mother and children all tied together, sold to the northwest, their fate is decided by destiny," responded Song Ye, his expression cold.
The northwest is impoverished, populated by people nurtured in comfort, so they likely won’t meet a good end. However, compared to the karma that woman’s father holds, Song Ye’s actions could be considered lenient and merciful.
"I originally thought General Song would kill them to avenge his family."
Song Ye bitterly smiled, "The hatred of losing a child, killing them wouldn’t be excessive, yet I recalled your words about avoiding unnecessary killing. The child called me uncle for sixteen years. The other two, less than a year old. By sparing them, I gather yin virtue for me and my sister, hoping for future blessings."
Qin Liuxi remarked, "General is kind-hearted."
Song Ye shook his head, "Just hypocritical. Letting them live out their fate, keeping my hands clean. But that Evil Path, I must find him. Such people, cunning as a rabbit with multiple burrows and possessing evil magic, are impossible to find."
"General means to?"
Song Ye bowed, "I came here not only to deliver gratitude but also to ask for an auspicious day to bury the bones of my two nephews near our ancestral grave. Moreover, I want to ask the master if there is a way to locate that Evil Path? You know, this person possesses Divine Skills but uses them unrighteously and harms others. Him escaping, who knows who the next victim will be?"
