Recently, there have been rumors in the village that General Xiao favors me and wants to marry me. However, this is just a false rumor. My Qin family has never met General Xiao. I have also never met General Xiao Hange. Just now, the envoy had impure intentions, and I tried to scare him with this, but unfortunately, it didn't work. I'm sorry, young master, please come to my rescue."
"So, Miss Qin doesn't like General Xiao?"
"General Xiao and I have never met, so how can I possibly like him? If possible, I would only want to marry the person I love and spend my life with him, without asking for my husband to be a noble or a general."
"Then does Miss Qin have someone she likes?"
Qin Luofu glanced at Lin Han, with a hint of admiration in her eyes, which eventually turned into a sigh.
"Why are you sighing, girl?"
"Sir, you have offended the envoys of King Zhao by saving me. They will hunt you down soon. It is best for you to leave Handan as soon as possible, otherwise you will be in danger."
"If I leave, the Zhao King's envoys won't be able to find me and will still kidnap you. I certainly can't abandon you. Why don't you come with me, young lady?"
"Sir, you..."
Qin Luofu was extremely embarrassed. As a woman, how could she have heard such love words? She glanced at Lin Han with admiration in her beautiful eyes, then lowered her head sadly.
"Sir, my parents and master are still here, I can't leave."
"Then I will stay and protect the girl from this disaster."
"Young Master, Luofu cannot implicate you." Qin Luofu said anxiously.
Lin Han smiled confidently and said, "Miss Qin, how about this, let's make a bet."
"What bet?"
"I'll bet on whether I can help you stop the King of Zhao from doing this. If I can, you marry me. If not, the King of Zhao's men must step over my body before they can take the girl away."
"Sir, don't joke around." Qin Luofu was embarrassed and anxious. "If it were any other time, Luofu would have agreed to it, but this is Zhao State. The King of Zhao has absolute power and can't stop it. Sir, Luofu begs you to leave first."
"Then I'll take Miss Qin home first."
Lin Han takes Qin Luofu back to the village.
As soon as they arrived at the door, the neighbors around them pointed and talked, keeping their distance from the Qin family's house.
Just now the villagers were surrounding the Qin family to congratulate them, but now the situation is completely different.
The news that Qin Luofu was favored by King Zhao spread. At the same time, the news that a man injured King Zhao's envoy in order to save Qin Luofu also spread in the village.
Now in Zhao State, King Zhao has absolute power. If you offend King Zhao, you will never have peace.
"Xiaoying, are you okay?" Qin Luofu's mother looked at Qin Luofu with a worried look on her face.
"Mom, the baby is fine," Qin Luofu said.
"Someone just said that the envoy of King Zhao wants to abduct you into the palace?"
"Yes, it was this young man who saved me." Qin Luofu looked shyly at Lin Han who sent him back.
"It's over."
Qin's mother was in great sorrow, and the surrounding villagers who heard the news retreated one after another.
The title of King of Zhao meant he was the local emperor in the State of Zhao, and no one could defy his will.
"Aunt, I was the one who taught the envoy of King Zhao a lesson. If there are any problems, they will naturally come to me. The Qin family cannot be blamed." Lin Han comforted.
"Sir, thank you very much for saving my daughter, but King Zhao will not give up so easily. King Zhao will definitely send someone to take Xiaoying away again. Her life will be miserable in the future." Mother Qin lamented.
"Aunt, why is this? The King of Zhao is a high-ranking official, a prominent figure. Shouldn't it be a happy occasion that Miss Qin is favored by the King of Zhao?"
"The Prince of Zhao is extremely licentious. Every once in a while, he seeks out beautiful women to entertain him in the palace. Countless women have been abused, abandoned, and met with miserable ends." Mother Qin lamented. "If Xiaoying falls under the Prince of Zhao's sway, her future will be miserable."
Lin Han was speechless. This was reality.
"Sir, why don't you take Xiaoying away, leave Handan, and leave Zhao State." said Qin's mother.
"Mom, I won't leave." Qin Luofu shook her head firmly.
"Is there no other way?"
"No." Mother Qin shook her head in frustration.
"Auntie, it's okay, I will help you."
The villagers around sighed and did not believe that Lin Han could do anything. It would be a pity if such a beauty was really abducted by King Zhao, but they were powerless to do anything.
