Qin Wan, Zhenzhen and others chased Bai Wanyi relentlessly, circling most of the city. Bai Wanyi played with her like a cat playing with a mouse, and her anger was rising.
After leaving the city, there were not many civilians around, so she had no more worries. She shook off Zhenzhen and a group of guards and chased after Bai Wanyi.
Bai Wanyi didn't expect Qin Wan to fall into the trap so quickly, but whenever she thought about what Qin Wan was about to suffer, she trembled with excitement.
She led Qin Wan to the location and stopped running. She turned around and looked at the lonely Qin Wan with a smile: "You are very brave."
Qin Wan raised her chin slightly, her proud attitude fully grasped: "The courageous ones have a full meal. If I were not courageous, would I be the Crown Princess now?"
"I knew you were using some tricks!" Bai Wanyi flew into a rage, staring fiercely at Qin Wan. He raised his hand and shouted, "Catch her for me!"
At her command, several men in black suddenly appeared in an empty place and rushed towards Qin Wan.
Qin Wan didn't retreat but advanced, pulling out the whip from her waist and swinging it towards Bai Wanyi: "Don't forget, I'm very good at martial arts. Do you think you can catch me with these few people?"
Bai Wanyi retreated under the protection of the men in black. She took out a tinderbox and said with a smile, "Of course I know. That's why I'm unprepared. Just surrender obediently, or I'll blow this place up and make sure your body isn't even found."
Qin Wan paused, the whip hanging in mid-air. She landed carefully, took another step back, and looked at Bai Wanyi warily: "You deliberately lured me here? Why?"
Bai Wanyi threw out a handful of rope, signaling to tie Qin Wan up. "Of course, I'm going to capture you to make the Crown Prince back down. Don't you know? The Fourth Prince is dead, executed by slow slicing, and I'm being hunted nationwide. If I don't trade you for my freedom now, who can I trade? Come with me."
Qin Wan stared at Bai Wanyi, not at all surprised by what she said. She dropped the whip and let them tie her up. "You are a traitor, you will never amount to anything. Now that you know the Fourth Prince has been executed, you should surrender as soon as possible. Perhaps you still have a chance to survive."
"Oh, a way out? Are you kidding me?" Bai Wanyi didn't believe her. After she made sure Qin Wan couldn't break free, she walked up to her, circled around her, and said with a sigh, "Qin Wan, Qin Wan, you never thought that there would be a day when you would be my prisoner, right?"
Qin Wan closed her eyes and ignored her.
Bai Wanyi glanced up and down at Qin Wan, then suddenly grabbed the sachet from her waist, pulled it off and threw it away: "The sachet is unnecessary, otherwise someone will follow us."
Bai Wanyi was still very cautious. She checked carefully and tied Qin Wan's hands tightly to prevent her from taking out something to cut the rope.
Then he took a piece of black cloth and covered Qin Wan's eyes: "Let's go."
The man in black grabbed Qin Wan's arm, dragged her out of the woods, and stuffed her into the carriage.
Qin Wan only felt that the carriage went straight for a distance and then began to circle. She didn't know how long it circled. She only knew that the sound in her ears went from noisy to quiet. Later, she fell asleep and knew nothing.
When Bai Wanyi lifted the curtain, she saw Qin Wan soundly sleeping. She was so angry that she grabbed Qin Wan's arm and pulled her out of the carriage: "You are quite careless."
Qin Wan fell to the ground, and the pain in her body quickly dispelled her sleepiness. It was not that she was careless, but she was really too busy during this period. She lacked sleep and fell asleep unknowingly.
With this fall, the black cloth covering her eyes also fell off. Qin Wan looked up and saw the flowing water under the small bridge and the flourishing flowers. She grimaced in pain and got up to look at the sky. It was just dawn. They had walked all night and at least they had left Jining - if they hadn't been walking in circles.
"The scenery is nice." Qin Wan really likes this courtyard.
Bai Wanyi's face darkened: "You really know how to enjoy yourself!"
"Thank you very much." Qin Wan smiled, without any nervousness or panic of a prisoner.
Bai Wanyi became even more unhappy when she saw how relaxed she was. If the Fifth Prince hadn't wanted to see Qin Wan, she would have wanted to throw her directly into jail and torture her with all kinds of instruments!
Bai Wanyi gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, turned around and left: "Follow me."
Qin Wan followed Bai Wanyi. This seemed to be a separate courtyard. There was no main courtyard or anything like that. There were small courtyards scattered throughout the garden, which made it look quite exquisite.
It's not a villa, it should be a guild hall.
Qin Wan made up her mind and turned around to find Bai Wanyi already standing in front of a small building.
Qin Wan walked up the stairs, passed by a jade chessboard, and finally reached Bai Wanyi. She looked at the closed door of the small building curiously: "Why don't you go in?"
Bai Wanyi glared at her and said, "Shut up, you're talking so much."
Qin Wan shrugged her shoulders. The originally graceful movement now seemed even more elegant when she did it.
Bai Wanyi couldn't stand it anymore and kicked her: "What are you looking at!"
Unexpectedly, the kick didn't hurt, but instead made him take two steps back. Bai Wanyi glared at Qin Wan: "Are you against me?"
Qin Wan smiled innocently, "Qin family members, from the moment you learn to walk, you must practice horse stance. A stable lower body is the first thing you must learn. This is also a warning to us Qin family members to be steady and down-to-earth, and not to be too ambitious."
Bai Wanyi stared at Qin Wan closely, feeling that there was something else behind her words. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the door open.
"Well said! No wonder the Qin family can stand firm." The Fifth Prince clapped his hands as he walked out of the door. Seeing Qin Wan tied up, he looked at Bai Wanyi reproachfully: "I asked you to bring her back to me. Why did you tie her up? Let her go quickly."
Bai Wanyi's eyes widened. "I brought her back to vent my anger! If you plan to kill her, I'll give her to you. If you plan to let her go, I'll kill her now!"
Bai Wanyi pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Qin Wan's throat.
The moment Qin Wan saw the Fifth Prince, she understood everything. However, she didn't understand: "Why you?"
The Fifth Prince walked up to Qin Wan with a smile, lifted her chin and looked her up and down with a hint of skepticism: "Why can't it be me?"
Qin Wan watched the Fifth Prince's face, not missing a single change in his expression. "If you wanted revenge and wanted to ascend to the throne, you should have stayed in the capital and ascended the throne. Why are you here?"
The Fifth Prince laughed heartily and pushed Qin Wan away. The dagger scraped across her neck, leaving a trail of blood. A string of drops of blood dripped down. He reached out to catch a drop and sniffed it. "Why not me? My army will march south, and he will ascend the throne in the capital. Once I conquer the entire Great Zhou, I'll march north to support the king. How wonderful!"
Qin Wan narrowed her eyes, and all her confusions were connected in an instant: "Are you seeking revenge?"
