Chapter 623 Puppet
"Reward?" Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow slightly.
"It was just a show for the Grand Tutor."
The wedding invitation sent by Yi Moxu stated that the wedding would take place in three days, but Xing Jun received the news on the evening of the second day.
"Our men report that someone has infiltrated our city garrison today. It's that person, and they have the token, but the code didn't match."
Xing Jun looked at Yi Moxu, who was writing a letter: "Could it be Liu Enze? Should we send someone to keep an eye on him?"
“No need.” Yi Moxu said without the slightest hesitation: “It’s not Liu Enze.”
"Not Liu Enze?"
"Since Liu Enze is Nightshade, do you think that if he wanted to infiltrate, there would be a mishap where the code doesn't match?"
Xing Jun frowned: "I don't know much about Ye Mei, I only know that Ye Mei is good at weaving illusions. But in my impression, Ye Mei's appearance is too unique, so Ye Mei is easy to identify. As long as you don't fall into Ye Mei's illusion, there shouldn't be any other problems."
“Liu Enze…” Yi Moxu pursed his lips: “Liu Enze is a little different from the other Night Elves.”
"Perhaps he has already entered the city garrison, but we just don't know it. However, whether he has entered or not is not important. Liu Enze will definitely come."
"In the meantime, be careful of the people around you and don't fall into their traps. Don't wander around aimlessly when you have nothing to do."
"I understand," Xing Jun replied reluctantly.
Yi Moxu stood up, left his own courtyard, and headed towards another courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, Yi Moxu felt as if a gaze was constantly and subtly fixed on him.
Yi Moxu looked around but didn't see anyone. After a moment's hesitation, he pressed down on a brick on the wall.
Then, with a loud crash, the wall was completely moved aside, and Yi Moxu quickly slipped inside. A moment later, the wall closed again.
The wall had just closed when another figure appeared at the gate, broom in hand, sweeping fallen leaves from the entrance. After finishing, the figure glanced into the yard before picking up the dustpan and walking a little further away.
Outside in the garden, servants were hanging red lanterns with the character for "happiness" and auspicious couplets on them in the pavilion.
The servant sweeping over the area glanced up at the servant who was putting up the wedding couplets: "They're a little crooked, move them a little this way."
"Is that so?" The servant moved aside a little.
"Yes, yes, that's it, that's just right."
The servant sweeping the garden, his back hunched, smiled and glanced around: "I see that red lanterns are hung everywhere in the mansion and wedding couplets are pasted up, but why isn't that courtyard decorated yet?"
"Shh..." The servant who was putting up the wedding couplets quickly made a shushing gesture: "Don't ask. The Lord forbids us from getting close to that courtyard. If we get close and are discovered, we'll die."
"Someone will take care of decorating the courtyard; there's no need for us to worry."
"So that's it."
The servant who was cleaning nodded, lowered his head, picked up the dustpan, and walked away. He went behind a rockery, and when he came out again, his face had changed...
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Before they knew it, the wedding day had arrived.
Ye Qing'an was reading in the Dreamland of Clouds when Yi Moxu walked in.
"Give me your hand."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes: "You check my pulse every day, don't you get tired? I'm really... fine now. I can even start cultivating again today..."
Despite saying that, Ye Qing'an still reached out her hand.
Yi Moxu closed his eyes slightly, probed with his divine sense for a moment, then withdrew his hand and nodded: "Indeed, it has almost recovered."
“I’ve already said it.” Ye Qing’an sighed, “With the spiritual energy of the Cloud Dream Realm nourishing me every day, and Ling Yu giving me several spiritual pills every day to heal my wounds, I can’t help but feel slower to recover.”
Yi Moxu nodded: "That's perfect. There's something quite important today that I need your help with personally."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes casually: "Liu Enze secretly infiltrated Anzhi City, intending to save you."
"They've infiltrated Anzhi City? Save me?"
Ye Qing'an's face was full of astonishment: "Why does Liu Enze think that I was kidnapped in Anzhi City?"
"I said."
"..."
"Luring the enemy into a trap."
Ye Qing'an was slightly taken aback: "Luring someone into a trap, then catching them like a turtle in a jar?"
"Ah."
Seeing Yi Moxu's calm demeanor, Ye Qing'an was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Liu Enze is not that stupid turtle."
"Don't worry, everything is ready. Everything is in place, we just need the right opportunity."
"You are that east wind."
Ye Qing'an couldn't help but lower her eyes and laugh out loud after Yi Moxu said that: "Am I the east wind?"
Is what I need to do complicated?
Yi Moxu shook his head: "It's just being a puppet. Someone will tell you what to do, and you just need to follow their instructions. You don't need to use your hands or spiritual power, so you can rest assured."
"Row."
Ye Qing'an nodded in agreement: "Shall we go now?"
"Ah."
Yi Moxu responded and left the Dreamland of Cloud Dream with Ye Qing'an.
As soon as Ye Qing'an followed Yi Moxu out of the Dreamland of Clouds and stood still for a moment, she noticed that something was wrong.
"Is this the garrison headquarters of Anzhi City?"
"Ah."
"Is there some joyous occasion in this mansion? Why is it decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere?"
"happy event."
Yi Moxu walked to the door and opened it: "Let the matchmaker and servants come in."
As soon as Yi Moxu finished speaking, countless servants suddenly rushed into the room, each carrying a tray covered with a red cloth: "It's getting late, Miss Ye, please change your clothes and do your makeup."
"To change clothes and get ready?"
Before Ye Qing'an could even process what was happening, she saw a servant take a red... wedding dress from a tray?
"Miss Ye, please change your clothes."
Ye Qing'an then came to her senses: "Marriage?"
Yi Moxu nodded: "Give it to me."
“Three days ago, I sent out invitations to the army of Siyou Kingdom, informing them that I would marry you today and inviting them to my wedding banquet.”
"..."
Ye Qing'an's eyes widened as she stared intently at Yi Moxu, her mind suddenly replaying Yi Moxu's words from earlier.
It's like being a puppet; someone tells you what to do, and you just need to follow the instructions.
……
So, this is what this puppet is like.
Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth inwardly. Why did she feel like she had been tricked?
"It's just a play. Qing An just promised me she would help me, she shouldn't... go back on her word, right?"
