Seeing this, Qin Qing quickly made way, and the area around the lake, which had just been bustling with activity, soon became deserted.
The surrounding crowd was in a panic. She hesitated for a moment, then decided not to cause Wang Yantian any more trouble and turned to leave.
But accidents always happen unexpectedly! As soon as she turned around, she saw an assassin dressed in black rush into the crowd and kill several innocent civilians with a wave of his hand, causing everyone to scream in terror.
Qin Qing wasn't far from him, and seeing this, she couldn't help but swallow. Just as she turned to run away, the assassin seemed to recognize her and leaped up to grab her!
Before Qin Qing could react, she felt a tight grip around the back of her neck, her dress snapped shut, and she was sent flying into the air! It was nothing like the feeling of a female lead in a TV drama being lifted into the air and still being able to breathe easily.
Only after her feet touched the ground did she gasp for breath, relieved to have survived! Then a long sword was pressed against her neck! Her life was in danger!
At this moment, a large number of soldiers quickly surrounded them, and Wang Yan also appeared from the other side, staring at the sword in the black-clad man's hand that was close to Qin Qing's neck with a gloomy look.
"Step back! Otherwise... even the General wouldn't want to see his fiancée beheaded, would he?!"
After speaking, the man in black tightened his grip on his longsword, his threat all too clear!
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly replied.
"Since you know her identity, you should know my personality!"
His completely unaffected demeanor would break any woman's heart!
However, Qin Qing trembled and said in disbelief.
"What...what did you say?"
His heartbroken expression was so real that the man in black couldn't help but chuckle.
"So the great general is nothing special after all, haha! I thought he was so devoted, but it turns out he's just a ruthless and cold-blooded fellow!"
At least, that's roughly how it's going in the eyes of outsiders...
In fact, while Qin Qing was trembling slightly, he quietly moved the sword away from his neck, wondering if he could knock the man in black unconscious with a punch later!
Just as she was looking for an opportunity to make her move, a sneer came from not far away.
"Do you think the fine men of my Heavenly Dragon Kingdom would be swayed or threatened by personal feelings? Ha!"
Qin Qing was taken aback and turned her gaze to a young man in a purple python robe who walked out from among the soldiers. He was the sixth prince, Long Tianyu, whom she had met once before!
Perhaps noticing her gaze, the Sixth Prince looked at her with a sorrowful and apologetic expression.
"May Lady Qin rest in peace. I will remember your sacrifice and will definitely have my father erect a memorial arch for you!"
Qin Qing nearly spat out a mouthful of blood! She was trying to figure out how to escape, and this brat was already planning to erect a tombstone for her, even arranging her funeral! Ugh!
Despite her thoughts, she had to continue acting out her despair after being so devastated. A bitter smile appeared on her lips, and then she lowered her head, looking as if she was ready to die.
Wang Yan stood still, his gaze solemn and indifferent, as if there was nothing else he could do since things had come to this.
The man in black fell silent... He never expected that this woman, who was so inseparable from Wang Yan at the banquet just three days ago, would be so decisively abandoned by Wang Yan just three days later!
"Ha! The Sixth Prince is indeed a ruthless character! Wang Yan is heartless, but you are even more cold-blooded! In that case, then..."
Just as he finally relaxed his guard, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chin, followed by a hard kick to his groin and a forceful twist to his wrist, causing his sword to fall to the ground. He couldn't help but cry out in pain!
In that instant, Qin Qing suddenly stretched out his fist and punched the man in black hard in the chin. Wang Yan rushed forward in the next second, grabbed the man in black's wrist with one hand, forcing him to release his long sword. Then Qin Qing kicked him in the groin, making it look like he was in excruciating pain!
The two attacked in perfect unison, instantly defeating the men in black...
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. After the man in black reacted, he quickly threw a handful of white powder from his pocket with his only usable hand. Wang Yan immediately felt a stinging pain in his eyes, and Qin Qing was also choked and uncomfortable. Fortunately, she had her back to the man, so the powder did not get into her eyes.
But even this momentary lapse in vigilance was enough for the man in black to escape in a sorry state.
The sixth prince's expression tightened, and he immediately roared.
"Hurry up and chase after them!"
Qin Qing quickly checked on Wang Yan's condition. In just a few seconds, Wang Yan's eyes were visibly red, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was deathly pale. He was clearly in great pain.
Seeing this, the sixth prince only offered a few insincere words of comfort before chasing after the man in black.
Qin Qing quickly brought him some clean water to wash his eyes. Perhaps because of the cleanliness, Wang Yan finally felt a little better, but he still couldn't open his eyes, and the stinging and swelling remained...
Qin Qing panicked a little, but she also realized that she had to find a doctor in this situation. She could help if it was an external injury, but if it was poison... she was helpless!
So she quickly picked up Wang Yan and started running as fast as she could…
An Ziyun! We must find An Ziyun!
But when they got home, they found that An Ziyun had taken Xiao Muyue out and wasn't home at all!
Qin Qing was extremely anxious, but all she could do was keep washing him with water...
Half an hour later, a loud noise came from the main gate, and Qin Qing rushed out!
An Ziyun carried snacks and lanterns, while Xiao Muyue beside her carried bags full of treats. The two had clearly had a wonderful time tonight! Although Xiao Muyue had paid for everything…
The next second, An Ziyun was dragged away, his snacks falling to the ground, which made him feel heartbroken. Just as he was about to complain about the person who came, he noticed that it was Qin Qing, and he swallowed the words in his mouth.
Qin Qing didn't give him a chance to speak, and directly pulled him to Wang Yan's side by the bed, anxiously saying.
"Quick, check his eyes!"
An Ziyun then noticed Wang Yan, who had already fallen into a coma on the bed. Being a doctor, he disregarded everything else and quickly examined Wang Yan.
After a long while…
An Ziyun's face grew increasingly grim, his usually carefree eyes now filled with seriousness.
"Yueyue, go and get my needle!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muyue, who was standing at the door, immediately ran towards the guest room.
Half an hour later, Wang Yan, covered in needles, lay on the bed. His tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. Although he was still sweating profusely and his lips were somewhat purple, he seemed to be in less pain.
Qin Qing didn't dare to make a sound while cleaning for a long time. Only when An Ziyun sighed did she anxiously speak up.
"So, what happened? Tell me!"
An Ziyun knew that she was anxious and confused at the moment, so she didn't waste any more time.
"He was poisoned by a type of venom called the Ice Jade Python. Fortunately, even after the treatment, most of the venom was washed away. However, a small amount of venom entered his body through his eyes. I have just managed to stop the venom from entering his body. He may vomit blood for the next two days, but he will be fine after that. However, his eyes are deeply injured and he will need some herbal detoxification."
