Prince Lu Wei gritted his teeth to bear the pain as the physician unwrap the bandage around his stomach area . He watched the physician inspected the injury, and after a while, redressed the wound .
"Your Highness," the physician bowed . "The tear on your stomach healed faster than I thought . Physician Jiang has done a great job at stitching your wound . If you continue to rest and have your medicine, there is a chance that the wound will heal earlier . "
Prince Lu Wei continued to listen to the physician's advice before he sent the physician away after rewarding him with a few silvers . The Prince lowered his gaze to look at his stomach . He was thankful that he had met with Physician Jiang on the day the tiger attacked him . Or else, he might have died .
The Prince frowned as he recalled of the day the Physician had to disappear before his eyes .
When he was very small, Prince Lu Wei had heard stories of people disappearing during an eclipse from his late concubine mother . However, it was the first time for him to witness it . All these time, Prince Lu Wei had thought that the story was only something that his concubine mother made up .

Who would have thought that the story was real?
Prince Lu Wei held his stomach as he stood up . However, the pain he had expected did not come . The physician sent by Da Cheng's emperor had dressed his wound meticulously . The Prince headed to the table beside his bed . He opened the top drawer and reached deep inside to push a button .
Soon, there was a faint click .
The surface of the drawer was pushed up, leaving a gap . Prince Lu Wei reached inside and pulled out a box where a silver mask and a small whistle was hidden . He took both the mask and the whistle and hid it inside his sleeve and peeked at the door . Immediately, a servant came beside him .
The Prince sneered inwardly, knowing that his movements were monitored during his stay in the guest house . He had been staying in the guest house for almost a month and observed his surrounding . There are the guards sent by the Emperor everywhere to protect him .
He was not worried that someone from Da Cheng would find out that he has been exchanging letters with his men in Qian Rong . After all, the Emperor did know that he had a conflict with the Crown Prince of Qian Rong . What he was worried about is that the Crown Prince had sent his men to monitor him .
"Your Highness," the servant bowed . "Do you need anything?"
Prince Lu Wei nodded . "The physician said that my wound has almost healed . I was thinking about paying a visit to the Emperor of Da Cheng to thank him for looking after me . Sent word to the palace that I am planning to visit tomorrow," he took out a small bags filled with ingots and handed it to the servant . "This is for you to share with the others . "
The servant's eyes were wide with excitement as he saw the silver ingot . Then, he stealthily hid it into his sleeve . "Yes, Your Highness . I will do as instructed . "
"I am a little tired and will be taking a nap," Prince Lu Wei said . "Please do not let anyone disturb me until it's dinner time . "
"Certainly," the servant bowed and retreated .
Prince Lu Wei waited until the sound of footsteps disappeared before he went into his chamber to change his outfit . Then, he observed his surroundings and waited for the perfect chance to sneak out .
If he had a choice, he would choose not to sneak around . However, he needed to send a few words to his men or else; the others might get worried .
Prince Lu Wei waited behind the wall and saw the servant gathering with a few others as they discussed how to divide the reward .
It was his chance to sneak out .
Meanwhile, in the deep forest near Da Cheng's Western Border, Yang Yun, and his teammates sneaked quietly through the woods and stopped once they heard the sound of water streaming .
Yang Yun turned to his teammates and gestured with his hands . Two of the Elite soldiers nodded and hurriedly climbed on the tree to observe their surrounding .
A few weeks ago, he received a mission from His Majesty for a search and rescue mission . A group of men sent by His Majesty to transport provisions to the western part of Da Cheng which had suffered from the flood last year . After that flood, the officials had a debate, and the Emperor had agreed to construct a dam to control the flood .
Not long ago, the Emperor sent a group of people to sent the supply needed . However, the group was reported as missing . The army stationed at the Western Border sent a letter to the Emperor to request help, and Yang Yun and his team were assigned to help his fellow army brothers .
