What followed was completely unexpected for Qin Qing. Wang Yan, a patient who couldn't see anything, was almost unaffected in walking, eating, and using the toilet! He was just like a perfectly healthy person!
Perhaps because he had practiced martial arts for many years, he had good hearing and a strong memory. In addition, he had visited Qin Qing's house many times and was already familiar with the location of everything. Even Qin Qing did not know whether to be happy or speechless.
As Wang Yan had predicted, the old emperor soon sent him two chests of gold and a chest of jewels, followed by a plaque. Eunuch Hai personally came to deliver the imperial decree bestowing upon him the title of Marquis! However, it held little real power…
Wang Yan decisively handed over the military tally on the spot. Eunuch Hai was overjoyed. After observing him for a while and confirming that he was blind, he said a few hypocritical words of concern and then left in a hurry.
After Wang Yan stood up, he paid no attention to the gold and silver jewelry laid out on the ground and said directly.
"Keep these."
Seeing that he didn't show any relief at being spared by the old emperor, but instead had an extremely complicated expression, Qin Qing quickly realized that Wang Yan's entire family had almost dedicated themselves to the Tianlong Kingdom, with his father and brothers working tirelessly until their deaths. Now, even he had gone blind, yet the old emperor hadn't even shown up to offer a word of condolence, dismissing their efforts with just three boxes of gold and silver jewels...
Such disheartening behavior would make anyone feel uncomfortable.
The next day, the rare international martial arts tournament will begin. Since the assassin incident, security at the tournament arena has become even more stringent!
Envoys from various countries gathered under the tent, while two tall and burly men stood on the four corner platforms in the middle!
The martial arts competition was in full swing, with each participant looking confident and seemingly unwilling to admit defeat to the others. As the host, the old emperor of the Tianlong Kingdom naturally chose Vice General Huang Zhong and several other skilled vice generals and guards!
Wang Yan was originally invited, but now he can only sit in the middle to watch the game. Ironically, he can't see anything at all, but the old emperor still sent someone to call him. Qin Qing was furious on the spot.
But they still came, and Qin Qing explained things to him from the side...
Several contestants, especially Huang Zhong and Deputy General Zhang, were glancing over frequently with rather grim expressions.
After they learned of Wang Yan's accident, they were naturally very worried and wanted to visit him, but Qin Qing refused to let them in. This was also Wang Yan's intention. Putting aside the fact that he had finally managed to get the old emperor to let him go, if he had a close relationship with the two of them, the old emperor might kill him in a moment of desperation.
At this moment, they finally saw Wang Yan and noticed the white cloth wrapped around his eyes. They were naturally worried and angry! After all, although the old emperor's decree was not made a big fuss, those who were interested would naturally find out.
Peony, being a family member, could naturally make an appearance, but the awkward thing was that the seat arranged for her was quite far away from Qin Qing and the others, which was obviously intentional on the part of the old emperor!
Soon, it was their turn to take the stage. Huang Zhong defeated his opponent with overwhelming power and was invincible in three consecutive battles. Even Shaoyao couldn't help but be drawn in by the battle and was extremely nervous!
It wasn't until Huang Zhong was defeated and it was someone else's turn to fight that the man from Puda Kingdom acted extremely quickly, but his left arm was pinched by his opponent, causing him to let out a muffled thud in pain. Only then did Qin Qing have to pay attention.
This is because, from behind, the person's build is strikingly similar to Wang Yan's, especially his reaction after his left arm was grabbed, as if he had something stuck in his arm...
If she remembered correctly, the person who impersonated Wang Yan that night was stabbed in the left arm!
So, what exactly does "Puda" mean?
Thinking about it, she turned her gaze to the Crown Prince of the West Wing. That man who seemed to only know how to flatter and had no guile turned out to be a ruthless character!
As Qin Qing was looking at that person, Prince Chloe, who was sitting next to him, also looked at Qin Qing for some reason. Only after Qin Qing noticed did the two of them make eye contact!
This also made Qin Qing notice something was wrong!
Prince Chloe looks like she's wearing makeup today! Her neck is noticeably whiter! And he seemed to enjoy drinking the other day, so why didn't he drink a drop today?
The key point is, why does he look at me with a hint of gritted teeth? Has she offended this person?
She then looked away and, bored, quietly told Wang Yan about her discovery. To her surprise, Wang Yan seemed very interested and asked very detailed questions.
That last look is quite intriguing!
"Don't you think that applying powder can cover up some things? Maybe not drinking is because your hand is inconvenient, and your eyes are full of gritted teeth... Are you sure you didn't offend Prince Chloe? Like... almost made him impotent!"
Qin Qing: "Pfft... You can't just say things like that! I don't even know him, what does his sexual ability have to do with me? I'm just..."
Halfway through her sentence, Qin Qing finally realized what she had said. Her surprise was still evident as she glanced at Prince Chloe a few more times before she remembered!
"So that's how it is! It was this bastard who poisoned it! Damn! Just as despicable as that washing machine!"
Wang Yan was stunned.
"A washing machine? What's that? The prince of Puda?"
Qin Qing nodded, then suddenly remembered that Wang Yan couldn't see, and replied.
“That’s right, the man who impersonated you that night was probably one of Washing Machine’s men, one of the contestants today. I cut his arm…”
After saying that, she looked at Wang Yan in surprise.
"You wouldn't be thinking of reporting this to the old emperor... him, would you? He's already so heartless! You can't possibly be that patriotic and love your people so much, can you?"
He loved his country to the point of blindness, to the point of the tragic deaths of his father and brothers, to the point of having all his power and status taken away, to the point that his mistake in Dingshan City last time led to the people questioning him... Does he still care about the Tianlong Kingdom?
Wang Yan shook his head.
"You're overthinking it. I was just thinking about how I can protect you if they attack again!"
"Oh, I see!" Qin Qing finally felt relieved.
"It's alright, they're leaving tomorrow! They won't have time to bother with me."
Hearing her optimistic attitude, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile slightly...
Qin Qing happened to capture the scene, and she teased her.
"Have you noticed how gentle you've been lately? You've been smiling more, and your expression isn't as serious anymore. I knew it! Once you're no longer a general, you don't need to care about authority anymore. Isn't this great?"
The two chatted and laughed, while Prince Chloe was furious! Just thinking about how his manhood had been kicked by that woman made him feel a dull ache down there, not to mention the bruise on his chin. To cover it up, he had applied so much makeup, like a woman!
This is an absolute disgrace!
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince of the Western Wing of Puda watched the martial arts competition with great excitement, but his eyes kept glancing at the blind man. Although he didn't know who did it, he really had to thank that person for getting rid of this major threat.
