She had figured it out: why bother catching this masked man? Why not just forcibly suppress all the people in the city?
After speaking for a while, Wang Yan did not react at all. Qin Qing then noticed something was wrong and quickly walked up to him to ask.
"What's wrong? Am I pressing on your wound?"
This movement revealed the bright red at the base of his ears, which spread all the way down to his neck, but his face remained as handsome and rugged as ever, showing no signs of redness.
"Hey? What happened to your neck? Are you having an allergic reaction to something?"
As she spoke, she reached out to pull at his clothes, which startled Wang Yan so much that he quickly backed away, his face filled with panic and embarrassment.
"You...you're a woman, how dare you tear at a man's clothes like that!"
This unusual expression startled Qin Qing for a moment. After realizing what she had said, she smiled sheepishly. Oh right, people in ancient times paid more attention to this. She had forgotten it in her moment of impulse.
"I'm sorry, I was just worried you might have an allergic reaction. After all, allergies are no small matter; they can be fatal if they get serious."
Seeing that she didn't seem to be flirting at all, Wang Yan believed her words. However, he also thought of something and couldn't help but ask.
"Do you... treat everyone like this?"
Qin Qing shook her head subconsciously!
"How could that be? I'm not a pervert!"
Wang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. The redness on his ears faded slowly, and his complexion quickly returned to normal.
Qin Qing then followed up with the next sentence.
"However, in special circumstances, we can't worry about that. After all, it's hard to assess a patient's condition when they're wearing clothes. Besides, doctors don't discriminate based on gender; we treat everyone equally! Don't mind me!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's face darkened again. This time, he was too lazy to listen to Qin Qing say anything else and turned to go inside.
Qin Qing could only stare innocently at his retreating figure, her face full of confusion! What's gotten into him now!
Qin Qing didn't see Wang Yan again until the afternoon...
At dawn the next day, they left behind the seriously wounded soldiers and the rest of them headed to Dingshan City before daybreak.
"Ah! Fire!"
A sharp scream shattered the tranquility of the night.
A large group of dark figures swiftly moved between the houses, leaving trails of fire in their wake. Many houses were set ablaze, and the sleeping residents were awakened. Soon, many people appeared on the streets.
Due to the dry weather, and the fact that Dingshan City was already experiencing drought, there was no way to extinguish the fire in a short time! People fled in panic, and the scene quickly descended into chaos.
Qin Qing was dressed in black night clothes, his body pressed against the city wall, almost blending into the darkness!
Upon seeing the fire in the city, a slight smile appeared on his lips. At this moment, some bandits on the city wall also noticed the unusual fire coming from the city. Contrary to expectations, although they clearly noticed it, not a single one of them went to help.
This is a bit tricky! Thinking of this, Qin Qing couldn't help but frown. Too many people make things difficult!
Just then, a person came running from a distance, looking anxious and panting.
"Quick! Put out the fire! The boss's mansion is on fire!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd on the city wall changed their expressions, and the leading man immediately evacuated half of his men, rushing back in haste.
Seeing this, Qin Qing quickly turned to the side to avoid being noticed, but the group of people ran past her without even noticing her presence.
A moment later, Qin Qing climbed up the city wall using both hands and feet, without any effort, just like a giant spider.
As soon as she climbed up, she noticed the archers in the shadows. Their keen killing intent almost gave her away, and she quickly shrank back.
A strong premonition told her that there were definitely experts on the city wall!
She was a martial arts master she couldn't beat! Brute force alone wouldn't be enough to defeat him.
While struggling with her decision, she could only grip the wall with one hand and consider the chances of suddenly rushing out and killing the man with one strike! After more than ten seconds, she decisively gave up on that possibility! The two of them were about four meters apart at the moment. Even if she was fast, she could only cover two meters at most in an instant. But if the man reacted quickly, she would probably be riddled with bullets as soon as she got close to him!
If we keep lying there like this, we'll definitely be discovered once the sun rises and the light gets bright!
Or... should we take a gamble? What if that person's reaction speed isn't fast? What if he's not good at close combat?
Just then, a scream suddenly came from the other side of the city wall, and then it fell silent instantly. Qin Qing's expression hardened, and when he peeked out again, he saw that the figure in the shadows seemed to have disappeared, obviously attracted by the sound.
She immediately leaped up the city wall, landed lightly, and rushed forward without saying a word...
The next second!
A sharp longsword was placed directly against her neck. The chilling touch sent a shiver down her spine, and her body froze on the spot, unable to move!
"woman?"
A surprised voice came from behind, clearly astonished by Qin Qing's appearance.
Upon seeing this, Qin Qing instantly realized something, couldn't help but shrink back, and said in a frightened voice!
"My lord! I couldn't sleep this morning and just wandered around aimlessly. If I have disturbed you, please be magnanimous and let me go this time!"
As she spoke, her right hand moved slightly, gripping the dagger tightly. If the man relaxed even slightly, she would immediately turn around and stab him!
At the same time, she was speechless with frustration. She hadn't expected this person to be so cunning. Despite clearly hearing the sounds from the other side, they showed no intention of going to help. Instead, they were lying in wait, waiting for her to come to them...
What a cunning scheme!
Hearing her say that, the man just smiled sarcastically and didn't relax at all.
"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of someone climbing up the city wall for a stroll! This wall... it's over three zhang high!"
Qin Qing was taken aback when she heard this, and then her expression turned a little embarrassed... Ever since she became stronger and her hearing became clearer, her fear of heights seemed to have become less noticeable. She could climb three zhang... which is about ten meters high, without feeling anything at all.
"Um... I have sleepwalking disorder! And I've had an abnormal constitution since I was little, I like to climb up and down. Would you believe me if I explained it this way?"
The more she talked, the more outrageous it became, until she herself was too embarrassed to continue making things up!
The person behind him laughed even more mockingly upon hearing this, and his voice also carried a hint of relaxation.
"Haha! You're a strange woman, sleepwalking...tsk tsk, not a bad name."
Even as he said this, the man maintained the same angle on his sword, without changing it at all! Clearly, he was a seasoned martial arts practitioner!
The next second, the man reached out and grabbed her shoulder, letting out a surprised sound.
"Huh?"
He seemed to have noticed something unusual, and Qin Qing's heart tightened as well. Her brain raced, her first thought being, "Could he know about the abnormalities in my body? Like the space... like the changes in my body lately..."
