After Lei Wei was promoted, he seemed to be the brightest new star on the battlefield. He devoted himself to the battle. In every battle, he could repeatedly make military achievements with his outstanding military talent and courageous command. His outstanding performance amazed everyone. He was undoubtedly a genius in leading troops to fight.

Muhachi saw this and cherished Lei Wei even more. He pondered for a long time in his heart and finally made a major decision, which was to marry his only daughter, Mu Ci Nian, to this beloved general.

On this day, Muhaci summoned Lei Wei to his tent. Lei Wei bowed respectfully and stood aside, feeling somewhat puzzled as to why Muhaci had summoned him alone. Muhaci looked at Lei Wei with a look of love and appreciation, and he slowly said, "Lei Wei, do you know why I called you here today?"

Lei Wei shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know, please tell me, Master Mourinho."

Muhaci smiled and said, "I admire you very much. Your performance on the battlefield is amazing. I have an only daughter named Mu Cinian, who is beautiful and intelligent. I have decided to marry her to you. No matter whether you have a family or not, my daughter will marry you in this life."

Lei Wei was stunned when he heard this. He never expected Mourinho to suddenly say such a thing. He opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but Mourinho's words were like a mountain, blocking his mouth, making him not know what to do for a moment.

Qiu Chan's figure instantly emerged in Lei Wei's mind. He and Qiu Chan were childhood sweethearts, and the friendship between them was extremely deep. Qiu Chan was willing to break up with her parents for him, and Lei Wei always remembered that deep affection. Although Qiu Chan's father looked down on him and made things difficult for him, it was all in the past. Lei Wei also knew in his heart that if there had not been those stimulations in the past, he might not be who he is now.

Lei Wei was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Mourinho, I already have someone I like. She and I have been through many hardships together, and the relationship between us cannot be easily severed. I really can't let her down."

Muhachi frowned and said, "Lei Wei, how is my daughter unworthy of you? She is well-educated, gentle and kind, and she is also in love with you. Please don't let me down."

Lei Wei said in embarrassment: "Master Mu, I know how good Miss Mu is, but I can no longer accommodate anyone else in my heart."

Muhachi sighed and said, "Lei Wei, please think about it carefully. This is a rare and good marriage. My daughter really likes you, and I hope you can become my son-in-law."

Lei Wei said helplessly: "Mister Mourinho, I appreciate your kindness, but I really cannot agree to it."

Muhachi looked at Lei Wei's determined expression and knew that he had made up his mind. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I will not force you. However, I still hope you can think about it carefully."

Lei Wei saluted and said, "Thank you, Mourinho, for your understanding." Then he turned and left the tent.

Lei Wei was walking back to his tent, feeling very conflicted. He knew the good intentions of Mu Shuai and the excellence of Mu Cinian, but he only had Qiu Chan in his heart. He secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would not let Qiu Chan down.

In Muhachi's tent, Mu Cinian was very disappointed when she learned that Lei Wei had rejected the marriage proposal. She had always had a good impression of Lei Wei, and in her heart, Lei Wei was her hero. She didn't understand why Lei Wei rejected her, and she bit her lip with tears in her eyes.

Muhachi felt distressed when he saw his daughter's sad face. He said, "Nian'er, Lei Wei already has someone he likes, and he rejected this marriage. But don't be too sad, there are many good men in the world."

Mu Cinian shook her head and said, "Dad, I just like him. I don't want to marry anyone else."

Muhachi sighed helplessly and said, "Nian'er, you can't force feelings. You should just forget about him."

Mu Cinian wiped her tears and said, "Dad, I understand. But I will still silently bless him."

Although Mu Ci Nian said that she wanted to forget Lei Wei, she was still worried about him. After Lei Wei returned to the tent, he fell into deep thought. He knew that his refusal might make Mourinho unhappy, but he had no other choice. He just hoped that this incident would not affect the relationship between him and Mourinho. After all, he still wanted to continue to serve the country on the battlefield.

When Mu Cinian learned that Lei Wei refused to marry her because of Qiu Chan, she was filled with anger, and naturally directed it at Qiu Chan. She thought to herself that she must not let Qiu Chan off so easily. At the same time, Commander Mu issued a military order, ordering Lei Wei to lead his troops to encircle and suppress Qiu Chan's father.

It turns out that there are complex and sinister reasons behind this. Yan Luo's father was an ambitious man in the court. For many years, he had been secretly planning a rebellion that would overthrow the dynasty. Qiu Chan's father, the prince, met Yan Luo's father by chance. Yan Luo's father was good at disguise. He often talked about his dissatisfaction with the court in front of the prince. At first, the prince just listened and occasionally agreed. But as time went on, Yan Luo's father began to intentionally or unintentionally reveal some so-called "opportunities" to the prince, saying that if they could overthrow the existing rule, they, the nobles, would gain more wealth, higher power and endless glory. The prince was cautious at first, but under the instigation of Yan Luo's father, he saw those beautiful prospects, and Yan Luo's father used some forged evidence to make the prince mistakenly believe that other nobles had the same idea, so gradually the prince began to participate in Yan Luo's father's plan.

They began to secretly contact various forces in private, from some officials who were dissatisfied with the court to some local tyrants who were blinded by interests. They used the prince's identity and connections to pass on information about the rebellion and raise materials for the rebellion. In this process, although the prince hesitated and struggled, he was eventually blinded by desire.

When Lei Wei received the military order, he immediately understood that this was clearly a vicious plot by Mourinho. He knew that Mourinho wanted to use this to force him into an unjust situation, so as to completely cut off his thoughts of being with Qiu Chan. Lei Wei clenched his fists tightly, feeling helpless. He knew that military orders were like mountains and could not be disobeyed. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he had no choice but to lead his troops on the road of conquest.

In the palace where Qiu Chan's father lived, when they heard the news that the army was coming to encircle and suppress, the whole palace fell into panic. The prince never thought that the poor boy who was once looked down upon by them would now turn into a majestic general. The complex emotions surged in his heart, including shock, regret, and disbelief. He felt that his dignity was ruthlessly trampled on, and the pain in his heart was like being bitten by insects and ants. The prince paced back and forth in the room, with a thousand thoughts in his mind. He looked at his family and said painfully: "Instead of dying at the hands of this kid, it is better to end it yourself and keep the last bit of dignity." His eyes were full of determination.

So, the prince ordered his servants to prepare poison. There was a dead silence in the palace. The family members sat together silently, looking at the bowls of poison, tears in their eyes. They knew that this was their fate that they could not escape. In the end, they picked up the poison and drank it all. The prince and his family ended their lives in despair and helplessness. When Lei Wei led the army to the palace, he saw only a dead silence. The corpses lying in all directions made his heart sink suddenly. He knew that all this was irreversible.
