Chapter 32: Who Set Up This Scheme?

Quick look, quick look, changing faces!

Yeah, it's really amazing, a living person instantly turns into another person.

The old saying says a woman changes her face faster than turning a page; now I finally see it for real.

The onlooking crowd spoke up one after another, all talking at once in that moment.

Mo Qingyan's performance, these actions, are indeed beyond people's expectations.

Her current behavior, those reactions, truly make these onlookers feel surprised.

Shameless bastard!

Mo Qingyan gritted her teeth, looking displeased.

She realizes she has been tricked, truly encountering a major incident.

This is a scheme specifically targeting me, the heavenly net and earthly trap I myself laid!

It seems the other party already understands my actions and thoughts, and knows what I have done, which is why they could act like this.

Thinking this, Mo Qingyan's hatred grew even more extreme.

In such a situation, besides her hatred, she also felt a shock in her heart.

Who could set up such a scheme?

And who could do such a thing?

Mo Qingyan felt shocked in her heart; seeing the servants and guards gathering around, a flash of killing intent crossed her eyes.

But just as she was about to act, she barely managed to sheath her sword.

Now that I'm exposed, the most important thing is to escape quickly.

Go die!

Mo Qingyan shouted angrily, swinging her long sword forward wildly.

With a swish-swish sound, these low‑strength servants and guards were hit, all retreating and falling to the ground.

Mo Qingyan endured the discomfort caused by those sounds, stomped her feet hard on the ground, leapt into the air, intending to leave.

But just as Mo Qingyan's figure had just leapt up, suddenly a group of elite armored soldiers rushed out from the alley, wielding crossbows and shooting at her.

Mo Qingyan quickly waved her long sword; with a swish-swish sound, the sword struck those arrows, and in the violent impact it produced a loud sound.

And Mo Qingyan, while barely avoiding those impacts, also spat out a mouthful of blood.

These people are strong, not ordinary servants and guards!

Mo Qingyan leapt into the air and landed on a rooftop.

But she wasn't allowed to catch her breath; just then, another tearing-through-the-air sound attacked.

Bastard, you dare to sneak attack?

A figure rushed straight at Mo Qingyan, slamming hard into her.

Mo Qingyan, furious and anxious, shouted a rebuke.

At the same time, she turned her body and lunged forward with all her strength.

With two bangs, she exchanged a palm strike with the ambush attacker.

At that moment, the opponent's powerful strike came, and finally landed on her chest.

These strong forces struck her hard, leaving her unprepared again and she stepped back several paces.

With a puff, she spat out another mouthful of blood.

Mo Qingyan knelt on one knee on the rooftop, glaring hatefully at the ambush attacker before her.

This person wore a night‑cloth outfit, face covered with black gauze, completely concealed.

Despicable!

Mo Qingyan shouted angrily, yet faced with this situation she still looked at a loss.

Seeing the black‑clad person waving both hands, it seemed they were about to attack.

Moreover, at that moment sounds arose from all sides as a troop of elite soldiers closed in.

You wait for me!

Mo Qingyan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and shouted angrily.

At this moment she was furious beyond control, unable to bear the indignation in her heart.

Moreover, at this moment dangers surrounded her on all sides; staying longer was unnecessary.

Mo Qingyan threw down those words, leapt into the air, and quickly left.

【This woman, she really has something.】

【Such a sneak attack is meaningless to her as well.】

【Fortunately, she probably won't recognize me; but if we meet again next time, we should adopt other means and methods!】

【She doesn't know me, can't handle me, but I can handle her—that's my advantage!】

Just as Mo Qingyan was moving from house to house, flying over the rooftops trying to escape, a voice entered her mind.

You shameless scoundrel, will there be a next time? If there truly is a next time, I will surely kill you!

Mo Qingyan heard this voice and was first stunned.

Immediately after, she let out an indignant rebuke from her mouth.

With a flash, Mo Qingyan fled, leaving only a heart full of regret.

……

Pingxi Prince's Mansion

Yang Jun crawled out from the dog hole.

Faced with this, he also felt helpless.

He again played the villain, and only with great difficulty managed to worm out Mo Qingyan's details.

After making thorough preparations, he still couldn't capture that woman.

Returning to his room, Yang Jun changed his clothes while still carefully considering what method he should use to resolve all these matters.

Heir Apparent, the City Defense Battalion Commander has come to visit.

From outside the house came Deng Jian's voice—indeed, Deng Jian truly is a capable assistant.

Whether helping the original identity commit those bullying and tyrannical acts, or now "reforming from evil to righteousness" and assisting me, he remains wholeheartedly loyal, putting great care into everything.

Please let him in.

Yang Jun quickly changed his clothes and came to the parlor.

Deng Jian had already served tea to the City Defense Battalion Commander; upon seeing Yang Jun appear, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands, and paid his respects.

Heir Apparent, you're truly amazing.

Indeed, someone is impersonating Sang Jie Guiyi, intending to assassinate our Great Xia officials.

It's a shame that this person is simply too formidable; despite our City Defense Battalion's thorough preparations, he still managed to escape.

But this also suffices to prove that this impersonator is no ordinary person!

The City Defense Battalion Commander hurriedly spoke, also feeling grateful.

Thank you, Commander Kui Fang.

Although this outcome was not ideal, Yang Jun was still able to choose to accept it.

In the course of speaking, he waved his hand, and Deng Jian produced a silver ingot and handed it over.

Kui Fang raised his hand, and the item fell into his sleeve.

Heir Apparent, you're being too polite, after all the Elder Princess said this is for your service...

Kui Fang is also quite smooth-tongued; having gotten the item, he threw in some flattery, which seemed no big deal.

Commander Kui Fang, you're overthinking.

Yang Jun smiled slightly, and Deng Jian handed over a plate.

On the plate were some broken silver pieces; altogether, they probably weren't as much as that silver ingot just now.

Yang Jun took the plate, still smiling, carried it over and stood before Kui Fang.
