"Okay, let's go quickly then. I just saw the fireworks in the sky. They must look even better up close!"
After saying that, she reached out and grabbed "Wang Yan" beside her, her face full of joy, excitement and eagerness.
Wang Yan stiffened, wanting to push Qin Qing away but hesitating for some reason, and could only let Qin Qing pull him over, deliberately squeezing into crowded areas.
The noisy crowd naturally didn't smell pleasant; it was filled with a mix of sweat and perfume, which quickly changed Wang Yan's expression, his eyes filled with disgust and suppressed resentment.
Having finally reached a less crowded place, Qin Qing stopped in front of a stinky tofu shop. The smell... "Wang Yan" wished he could die on the spot! His face turned pale, and he was sweating profusely from time to time.
Half a day later, Qin Qing pretended to only then notice his strangeness and asked in surprise.
"Wang Yan, what's wrong? Can't you stand the smell of stinky tofu? That's strange, I remember you really like it."
Upon hearing this, the man beside him cursed inwardly, but maintained a calm demeanor.
"Don't overthink it, you've just been working too hard lately!"
Who would have thought that such a dignified and mighty general would actually have a taste for stinky tofu! It's simply unbelievable!
Seeing that he didn't refuse, Qin Qing was almost certain that he was an imposter. She couldn't help but sneer inwardly. With such a simple trick, he dared to impersonate the most difficult role to play? He would be better off impersonating Huang Zhong than Wang Yan!
After a long while, "Wang Yan" seemed to finally give up and looked at Qin Qingdao.
"The view will be clearer from the other side, and there aren't many people there. Let's go over there."
As he spoke, he pulled Qin Qing into another dark alley, since Qin Qing had been leading him to places with more people from the beginning.
As soon as the two squeezed into the crowd, Wang Yan instinctively tightened his grip on Qin Qing's hand, as if afraid she would get lost...
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Qing pretended to be squeezed and quickly broke free from the man's hand. Seizing the moment, she instantly took out a dagger from her spatial storage and stabbed at the man's body. However, the man remained vigilant and, sensing the slight killing intent, subconsciously turned his body to the side. The dagger cut straight through the man's arm.
Seeing this, Qin Qing quickly withdrew her dagger, and the surging crowd pushed the two apart, and the man soon disappeared.
After Qin Qing finally managed to leave the crowd, she looked around to make sure the man had run away before reluctantly preparing to leave.
She's not stupid. A man who can disguise himself and has a similar build to Wang Yan must be quite skilled in martial arts. She's just a little faster, has sharper senses, and is a little stronger than the average person. She would definitely be at a disadvantage if she fought a real master!
A surprise attack is the only way to ensure a hit, but unfortunately, he still noticed and ran away. As for the person's identity... well, he's injured, so finding him shouldn't be too difficult.
"The Qin family?"
Just then, a familiar voice rang out again. Qin Qing turned around, a wide smile spreading across her face. She thought to herself, "Wow! He's really got a strong will despite his disability. Even after being discovered, he still dares to try and lie to her?!"
So she just stood there, baring her teeth, watching the man walk in step by step.
When they were still two or three meters apart, Qin Qing's expression immediately changed. She looked at him with a wronged expression, raised her little fist, and lunged at him...
"You scared me to death! I turned around and you were gone! Waaaaah..."
As she spoke, she pounded her little fists without missing a beat. It looked light, but in fact, it was a full hundred pounds of force. Even if Wang Yan was strong and had unparalleled martial arts skills, he could not withstand it!
He immediately took a few quick steps back to avoid Qin Qing's small fist attack to the chest! His expression froze instantly.
Qin Qing's forceful lunge resulted in empty air, and she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise! Oh~ now you know how to dodge? Stop pretending? You've learned your lesson after disappearing for a bit?
As Wang Yan stood still, about to say something, he saw Qin Qing's face showing sadness and grievance.
"You don't love me anymore? You actually turned away from my advances and threw yourself into my arms? Waaah..."
Look at her tearful face, full of accusation!
Wang Yan: "..."
After only three days apart, Qin Shi seemed... to have lost his mind? Thinking this to himself, his face grew even more serious.
Qin Qing noticed this and couldn't help but praise him in her heart. Wow! His learning ability is too good! If he hadn't just given himself away, she definitely wouldn't have suspected anything!
"Since you are so heartless, then we have nothing more to say!"
Then, Qin Qing turned and left, looking heartbroken…
Wang Yan was completely bewildered by her unusual behavior tonight. Realizing that she really wanted to leave, he quickly went over to try and stop her.
Qin Qing heard footsteps behind her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips! She knew it; how could that person give up until he achieved his goal!
The next second, just as Wang Yan was about to grab Qin Qing, a sharp blade came flying from the opposite side. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed Qin Qing's arm, stopping her movement...
Qin Qing looked surprised, not expecting him to be so skilled, as if he had anticipated her attack! Then she gave a cold smile.
"Not bad, you've got some skills!"
Then she suddenly stretched out her leg and kicked the man directly in the groin. Although Wang Yan reacted in time, he was also kicked in the groin. His expression changed instantly, but he still remembered to restrain all of Qin Qing's movements with his other hand.
Then he held her tightly in his arms, his hoarse and restrained voice lingering in her ear.
"Don't move!"
The four words sent a shiver down Qin Qing's spine, and the familiar aura that rushed towards him was completely different from before! Even if it was fake, it felt too real.
Wang Yan held her, and when he noticed that she had stopped struggling, he took a deep breath, slowly let go, and looked at her with a not-so-good expression, and said solemnly.
"Qin family, do you want to cripple me?"
"Pfft!"
This remark made Qin Qing laugh, but when she thought about how she had almost ruined her own happiness, she couldn't laugh anymore in embarrassment.
"Hehe, I didn't do it on purpose. You wouldn't believe it, but someone was impersonating you and trying to lure me to a secluded place. Luckily, I spotted him and stabbed him in the arm with a dagger, which made him run away. And then you appeared! Aren't you unlucky?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's expression became even more serious. He quickly scrutinized Qin Qing before asking with concern.
Are you alright?
Qin Qing shook her head.
"I'm fine, but why did you come out? Shouldn't you have been protecting those around you during today's lake excursion? I heard the Sixth Prince and envoys from various countries are also there; what if something happens..."
Just as she finished speaking and Wang Yan was about to reply that everything was alright, a scream came from afar, followed by someone shouting that there was an assassin!
Qin Qing couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement; how jinxed she was!
Wang Yan, standing beside him, tensed up, then said "Go back immediately" before disappearing into the chaotic sea of fleeing people.
