"Not bad. You guys passed." Dongfang Qingyuan said. "What do you want to do, leader?" Lu Yi asked calmly. "I just need some information for now. You guys have given enough for the time being." Dongfang Qingyuan explained.

"Are you going on a mission tomorrow?" Lu Ming asked suddenly. "You don't need to know. If there is any other important information then you can contact Qiu Ruiwen for the time being." Dongfang Qingyuan said.

The seven people stared at the person behind Dongfang Qingyuan without saying anything. They could feel it. Qiu Ruiwen's aura was different from ordinary people.

The small meeting ended quickly and they all dispersed without saying anything. But one thing they knew, their leader was very cruel.

The next morning, the big day arrived. Xue Yanzhong and Liang Lixue's wedding day. Liu Mu was already preparing in the aisle. This route would be passed by the bride so Liu Mu intended to save Liang Lixue. As the music started to approach, Liu Mu started to walk out but he was hit and passed out.

Meanwhile, the ambushers who were with the bride were quite confused because Liu Mu did not appear. Liang Lixue was also restless.

@old hut

Dongfang Qingyuan stared at Liu Mu who was slowly getting up. "Who are you? Why am I here?" Liu Mu asked warily. "I'll take you to your brother." Dongfang Qingyuan said coldly.

"Why did you stop me? Are you someone who works for the second prince? You're afraid that I'll take Lixue away with me. Coward!" Liu Mu said angrily. "You think that woman is sincere to you? You are so naive. You think you would have caught her interest if it weren't for your brother being the deputy general of the Light Army." Dongfang Qingyuan said angrily.

"She's not that kind of person. Don't badmouth Lixue if you don't know anything." Liu Mu said angrily. "You're the one who doesn't know anything about that woman." Dongfang Qingyuan said angrily. Liu Mu attacked Dongfang Qingyuan with a sword and was blocked by Dongfang Qingyuan with a short sword.

The sword fell to the ground. "Holding a sword is still weak. You need ten years to defeat me." Dongfang Qingyuan said mockingly. Dongfang Qingyuan kicked Liu Mu to his knees and forced Liu Mu's mouth open before pouring the medicine in the bottle into Liu Mu's mouth before pouring water into Liu Mu's mouth.

Liu Mu almost choked on the water but Liu Mu swallowed the medicine accidentally. Liu Mu felt drowsy and fell asleep. "It seems that the medicine Ruiwen gave me is effective. But I forgot how much I should give." Dongfang Qingyuan muttered flatly.

Dongfang Qingyuan lifted Liu Mu's body onto the horse and covered it with a black cloth before getting on the horse and spurring the horse at a moderate speed. He wanted to go see his two friends before returning to his home.

The wedding procession went smoothly and perfectly. But Xue Yanzhong and Liang Lixue's faces were not too happy. Their plan was perfect but where was the mistake. They couldn't find it.

Liang Lixue returned to the bridal chamber. Gu Ying whispered something in Xue Yanzhong's ear. Xue Yanzhong looked at Gu Ying and was answered with a nod from Gu Ying. Xue Yanzhong took his leave from there.

@riverbank

Dongfang Qingyuan stared at the carriage parked on the road not far from the riverbank. It was his carriage. Dongfang Qingyuan lifted Liu Mu's body onto the carriage before looking for Liu Yue on the riverbank.
