The sun was slowly rising, but there was still not a single person in sight on the road.
"Big sister, Sister Qingge won’t be late, right?" Erni whispered, her voice low, "After all, it’s such a long way, what if sothing happens on the road..."
Yang Ruxin shook her head: "No, Xiaohei sent a ssage early in the morning saying she was already ten miles outside the city, those four hours will be enough for her to make it."
"But..." Erni glanced at the sky, "It’s almost noon already."
Yang Ruxin was also feeling a bit anxious.
Fang Tianze had remained silent, but at this mont suddenly appeared sowhat uneasy, casting a glance back at Yang Ruxin: "Sister, why do I suddenly feel a bit uneasy?"
Yang Ruxin pondered for a mont: "You all wait here, I’ll go take a look." With that, she mounted her horse, snapped the whip, and galloped away.
Chai Qin and Gu Cheng hurriedly followed behind.
They hadn’t ridden far when they saw two fast horses approaching from the opposite direction. Leading them was Yu Qingge in her wedding dress, followed by Xuxu, and trailing behind were three black-clad figures in pursuit.
"Sister." From afar, Yu Qingge saw Yang Ruxin and instantly felt relieved.
Yang Ruxin frowned and hurried to et them: "You go on ahead, Tianze is waiting for you, don’t miss the auspicious ti. Leave this to us."
"Alright." Yu Qingge didn’t dawdle, knowing how important timing was for weddings in ancient tis. It wouldn’t be good to delay, which was why her grandfather had blocked those black-clad figures to let her go ahead. Now that Sister Ruxin was handling these few, there was no point in her lingering, especially since she wouldn’t be of help.
The three black-clad figures weren’t about to let Yu Qingge leave. Unfortunately, just as they caught sight of the two won rushing over, they fell from their horses without even having ti to react, not knowing how they died.
"Grandpa and the others are behind..." Yu Qingge glanced back and imdiately cheered, unable to resist shouting.
Yang Ruxin waved her hand and continued forward to help.
Fortunately, by the ti she arrived, Tang Wanqian and the others had mostly dealt with the black-clad figures, with corpses lying around, and Shadow Five, Shadow Seven, and Shadow Nine all sustaining various injuries.
"Who would ambush you here?" Yang Ruxin asked Tang Wanqian.
Tang Wanqian shook his head: "Tang Kun’s forces have been mostly eradicated, I can’t imagine who else would want dead." He paused, "Moreover, our journey hasn’t been announced."
Yang Ruxin was also puzzled, lowering herself to inspect one of the black-clad bodies. The clothing bore no marks, yet when her gaze fell on the person’s feet, she instinctively removed the shoes, her expression changing abruptly: "They’re from the Sun Cult." The toes clearly showed signs of wearing clogs for a long period.
Only people from Wa Country wear clogs.
"The Sun Cult? Why would they ambush us?" Tang Wanqian frowned.
"No, their target isn’t you, it’s ." Yang Ruxin suddenly rose, "This is not good, we must hurry back." With that, she swiftly mounted her horse and rushed back.
Tang Wanqian and the others promptly followed.
anwhile, Fang Tianze and Yu Qingge had already ridden back to the Fang Family, entering just in ti for the auspicious hour, and conducted the wedding ceremony.
By the ti Yang Ruxin returned, the bride had already been escorted to the bridal chamber.
"What’s the matter?" Fang Tianze asked as he ca out, seeing Yang Ruxin’s solemn expression.
