After failing to persuade Burning Snow and Rose, Yang Rui was much more cautious when dealing with Yuan Fang, Cao Jie, Lv Wen, and Dong Yi. It was as if he was entering a tiger's den.
Before he left, Yang Rui even took out an Asahi Pill. After hesitating for a moment, he swallowed it. It was just to make up his mind.
However, the Asahi Pill was an Earth Level Pill. Moreover, the one Yang Rui swallowed was a top grade pill made by Zhang Ning. Yang Rui had underestimated its effects. At the same time, it wasn't meant for this kind of situation.
Thus, the Asahi Pill didn't have much of an effect on Yang Rui. It was more of a psychological hint.
Yang Rui first went to the two courtyards where Yuan Fang and Cao Jie were. He didn't care about the maids and female guards in the courtyard. After entering the room, he dismissed everyone and continued to act according to the plan. The entire process was very smooth.

… … "
In the second half of the day, Yang Rui displayed Cao Jie's character attributes. From the stats, Cao Jie was also a typical 'soft girl'. Her loyalty was 82 points, and it was also unlikely that she would betray him.
Cao Jie's mental cultivation method and consummate skill were also very special. It was as if she was destined to have a noble identity. They were all very extraordinary, and it was probably related to her original form in history.
Originally, when Yang Rui left Yuan Fang's courtyard, it was already past noon. But because Yuan Fang was very bitter, Yang Rui accompanied her for half a day.
Yang Rui's situation at Cao Jie's place was not much different. Thus, he spent the majority of the afternoon at Cao Jie's place.
Only when night fell did Yang Rui go to Lu Wen's residence. At this time, Yang Rui was also very careful.
If Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's relationship with Yang Rui was already hostile, then Lu Bu's remaining subordinates would probably hate Yang Rui to the bone. As Lu Bu's surviving daughter, it was probably the same.
"Chi!"
Facts proved that being careful was not overboard. Yang Rui being a little more vigilant was the right thing to do. When Yang Rui stepped into Lu Wen's room, a glittering dagger was already thrusting towards him!
Lu Wen let out a soft roar and pounced forward. Her dagger went straight for Yang Rui's neck and heart. Her speed was extremely fast, and the current situation could be said to be a hair's breadth away.
If it was someone else, even if they had the same strength as Yang Rui, it would be difficult to dodge Lu Wen's attack without any warning beforehand.
Fortunately, Yang Rui was prepared from the start. When he entered Lu Wen's room, his body was tense, ready to deal with any situation that might arise at any time.
Even so, Yang Rui had only barely dodged Lv Wen's attack. Immediately, he felt a piercingly cold gust of wind slide past his face. Just the airflow caused by this attack had already cut open the skin on Yang Rui's face, bringing about a fine mist of blood.
After this attack, Yang Rui had a rough understanding of Lu Wen's strength. The other party was around the level of a second grade historical general, and was one of the stronger ones among the second grade historical generals.
However, with only such strength, Lu Wen's sneak attack had failed. It was very difficult for her to achieve anything when facing Yang Rui head-on.
"Pa!"
"Ding ding ding …"
"…"
Yang Rui's strength was already outstanding among the second grade historical generals. It was not a big problem for him to fight against ordinary first grade historical generals. Thus, even though Lu Wen was holding a weapon, she was still not a match for Yang Rui.
After the sneak attack, only eleven or twelve moves had passed. Although Lu Wen was attacking with all her strength, Yang Rui had already hit the back of her hand that was holding the dagger, forcefully shaking it off and dropping it to the ground.
"Why is that?"
Yang Rui held Lu Wen's hands behind her back and pulled her closer to him as he asked.
Lu Wen was very tall, even half a head taller than Yang Rui. She could be considered tall and strong, and her strength was also very valiant. She had reached the level of a Level 2 historical general, but at this moment, she was caught by Yang Rui with one hand, and half of her was trapped in Yang Rui's embrace.
It was only now that Yang Rui had the time to wipe away the blood on his face.
"My lord!"
"This subordinate has failed in her protection. Please punish me, my lord."
"Please punish me, my lord."
"… …"
At this moment, the fifth grade personal female guards in the courtyard had also noticed the situation here and hurried over. In particular, the blood on Yang Rui's face gave these personal guards a fright.
"I was playing with Princess Yilian and accidentally scratched my face. It is nothing else. You may leave now."
Yang Rui didn't want to cause a commotion. As such, he dismissed most of the Fifth Grade personal guards in the courtyard, as well as the maids who had rushed over after hearing the news. He then turned Lu Wen into the inner room, leaving only the two of them, Yang Rui.
At this moment, the wound on Yang Rui's face was still bleeding. It was clear to see how powerful the weapon Lu Wen had used earlier was. Yang Rui's ferocity had been aroused by Lu Wen's provocation. He no longer held back and began to pinch and flatten her face.
Lu Wen was restrained by Yang Rui. Though she resisted with all her might, she couldn't break free. She couldn't even commit suicide. In the end, she stopped resisting and started to cry.
Lu Wen's cries also stopped. Two streams of tears silently flowed down her face as she allowed Yang Rui to do whatever he wanted.

… … "
Lv Wen's Attributes appeared. It seemed that Lv Wen's various Attributes still had room for improvement. At this moment, she was only Level 70. However, her Loyalty was only at a pitiful 10 points. He wondered if the system had imposed this Loyalty on her because of the wedding.
After this, Yang Rui did not need to look at Lu Wen's Loyalty to know that she was disloyal. Perhaps this was the reason why Chen Gong agreed to Yang Rui's marriage proposal so easily.
Yang Rui was at a loss for what to do. If he left Lv Wen alone, there would be no hope for her to take revenge, and she would walk right into his trap and lose her innocence. Perhaps, she would end up in a mishap.
Be it their current relationship or Lu Wen's own strength and value, Yang Rui would not leave Lu Wen alone. After thinking about it, Yang Rui took out the black pills he had bought from Zhang Rang and fed Lu Wen two of them.
The black pills could temporarily suppress one's strength. Only by making Lu Wen lose her strength would someone be able to keep an eye on her. Otherwise, there would be very few people who would be able to keep an eye on her.
Lu Wen's condition made it unsuitable for Yang Rui to stay. After instructing the Fifth Grade personal guards and maids to take good care of her, Yang Rui left Lu Wen's courtyard.
It was already late at night. Most of the people in the inner courtyard knew about what had happened in Lu Wen's residence. Yang Rui immediately walked toward Dong Yi's residence. He might as well take care of the matter once and for all.
The smoothness of the matter was beyond Yang Rui's expectations. Dong Yi treated Yang Rui with gentleness and obedience, just like most of the other consorts. She did not seem to be estranged from him at all.
It was important to note that Dong Yi's situation was similar to Lu Wen's. Her father, Dong Zhuo, had also died at the hands of Yang Rui. Moreover, it was not a battle on the battlefield like Lu Bu, but an assassination attempt by Yang Rui after he had transformed.
Dong Yi's attitude caused Yang Rui to become slightly suspicious. However, Dong Yi had already lived in Mountain City, Castle in the Sky, and other places under Yang Rui's rule for several years. The world's opinion of Dong Zhuo had already been decided. It was normal for Dong Yi to change her attitude.

"… …"
From the content of the character's attributes, Dong Yi, who was also a Level 2 Historical General, was slightly inferior to Lu Wen in terms of talent, skills, and potential. However, he could still be considered an average Level 2 Historical General.
Dong Yi's loyalty was displayed. Yang Rui had almost completely let down his guard. He stayed in Dong Yi's courtyard for the night. During this time, there were no abnormalities.
At this point, apart from Lu Wen's disloyalty towards Yang Rui, which was also exposed. At the same time, the matter of Burning Snow and Rose was not easy to resolve. Yang Rui had already straightened out most of his family.
After the big wedding, Yang Rui had a period of peace, leisure, and comfortable time. Although he did not go on a honeymoon like Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Sun Qian, and Xun You suggested, it was likely that no honeymoon could compare to Yang Rui's happiness.
A gentle home was a true hero's grave. As a player, Yang Rui knew this. Thus, while Yang Rui enjoyed the peace and happiness, he did not ignore other matters. He always paid attention to or controlled the development of the three civilizations.
The focus was naturally on Yuan Shu. Apart from the constant friction with Cao Cao and Liu Biao at Dong Ling Pass and Gu Cheng, the most prominent news was about Yuan Shu's Wyvern coin.
The rumor that the Wyvern coin was the standard currency of the Merchant Alliance was exposed. Under the lead of Yang Rui, a large number of Wyvern coins were sold. Immediately, the system forced the Wyvern coin to a "limit down" state. This continued for five days.
As a result, the Wyvern coin's value was reduced to its original value. After five days, it was basically equal to the system's game currency. Moreover, it continued to fall.
After Yang Rui's big wedding, a month had passed. The Wyvern coin issued by Yuan Shu had already fallen below the "issue price". It was once again devalued crazily. The exchange rate between the Wyvern coin and the game currency was not even 1: 0.5.
Financially, Yuan Shu had already gone bankrupt. He had already used up all his savings, which were not abundant to begin with.
