Chapter 22 You are a girl
If the voice wasn't too familiar, Qin An would definitely choose to run away at the first moment.
Because the sound ringing in my ears was not only the sound of questioning, but also the sound of breaking air.
Fortunately, after Qin An turned his head subconsciously, the other party put away the sword in his hand.
"Qin An?"
Keqing looked at her good friend with surprise. She really didn't expect to meet her here.
"Why are you here?" Keqing made a beautiful sword flower, then stood there looking at her relatives.
Not to mention Keqing was surprised, Qin An was even more surprised than the other.
"Old Liu?!"
Qin An never expected to see Lao Liu at this time and place, and most importantly... why was she wearing such fancy clothes?
Usually, in order to conceal her identity, Ke Qing tried to wear simple clothes. Today, she did not change her clothes before going out to investigate something, so she went out wearing Yuhengxing's outfit.
She also didn't expect to see Qin An here.
The main reason Qin An was shocked was also because of his old friend's current appearance.
The gorgeous dress clearly sets off her slim figure, with a waist that can be held in one hand and a slightly full chest.
There was exposed skin on her shoulders and forearms, and even though it was dark now, it couldn't hide her fair skin.
Not to mention those beautiful legs.
For the first time, Qin An noticed Lao Liu's slender legs, which were wrapped in black stockings. It seemed that the stockings were also high-end products.
Putting aside the fact that it fits the body, the gorgeous patterns on it alone show that the workmanship is not simple.
What was Qin An thinking at this moment?
Shock!
Very shocked!
Maybe it turns out that my brother can be so beautiful?
Before, I just thought my good brother was good-looking, but now after careful observation, I find that he also has a great figure.
Who says it's not an exaggerated size? But whether it's the chest, waist or especially the hip line, the proportions are perfect.
This gorgeous dress was designed for her!
If Qin An saw Lao Liu dressed like this in Liyue Harbor, he would definitely be very angry. Brother, you can dress so beautifully, why didn’t you dress like this earlier!
Look at these legs, I can play with them... um, it seems like Lao Liu won’t let me play with them either?
"What are you doing?"
Qin An was curious about why the other person was dressed like that.
"Cough cough."
Even with Keqing's upright character, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
After all, she had always pretended to be simple in front of Qin An, and she didn't want her identity to affect their friendship.
Keqing felt a little shy when Qin An saw her like this.
"I came here to take care of some official business. I just noticed someone hiding here in the distance... I didn't expect it to be you."
Um...official business?
Qin An's expression turned a little strange after hearing this. It was almost night time, and he had to carry out official duties in such a remote place?
It sounds suspicious!
Then again, what is Lao Liu's main job? Selling beef offal seems to be her part-time job.
Keqing saw Qin An was thinking, and fearing that he would ask about clothing again, she took the lead and asked: "Qin An, what are you doing here so late?"
This was also what Keqing was wondering about. Just now, she noticed that there was a person hiding here from a long distance.
The sneaky look aroused her vigilance, so Keqing sneaked over. She thought it was a gangster, but just as she was about to take action, she found out it was Qin An.
"Um... I heard something this afternoon that seemed rather strange, so I came to see what was going on in Mingyun Town."
Qin An explained.
He repeated the exact words he had heard from the workers.
Then he said, "Look, given the personalities of those businessmen, they are willing to take the initiative to give more overtime pay. There must be something fishy going on here!"
Qin An's idea is to determine the tricks involved, and then use this as a starting point to cause trouble for some unruly businessmen and fight for the legal rights of the workers there.
In this way, his Liyue Workers Mutual Aid Association can gain a foothold.
At this time, Qin An still didn't understand that he didn't need to go through so much trouble, because Wang Xiaomei had already established a legal official identity for him through the transaction with Ningguang, and he was still connected with Ningguang.
"I see."
Keqing had a look of realization on her pretty face.
Then he took the initiative to explain the reason for his visit: "I am here to handle official business. I heard some intelligence that some criminals want to cause damage in Liyue, so I came here to gather information."
Qin An nodded first, but couldn't help but complain: "Old Liu, you work in the General Affairs Department, right?"
Hearing Qin An say this, Keqing became nervous. Did he notice her identity? Her heartbeat began to speed up, thumping non-stop, and she was too embarrassed to look directly at Qin An's face.
"Yeah... didn't I tell you before..."
Keqing deliberately emphasized that she had said such a thing, but in fact, she had only said that setting up the stall was an occasional part-time job, and she had not told Qin An about this being her main job, so he was fooled at the time.
Qin An guessed that he worked in the General Affairs Department, because Lao Liu never forgot to worry about the country and the people even when he was selling beef offal.
Only people working in the General Affairs Department have this habit.
"Really? If it's a job to gather intelligence, just let the Qianyan Army do it. Isn't your boss a little too heartless to let such a beautiful girl like you perform such a dangerous job?"
Qin An's complaints made Keqing laugh and cry.
First of all, Qin An said that she was beautiful, and she was very happy in her heart. This was also a kind of recognition from a friend, right? But Qin An was saying that the boss of the General Affairs Department had no conscience. Ahem, that was just talking about herself!
Although the starting point is for my own benefit.
Keqing had no choice but to explain: "I still know some self-defense skills."
Qin An did not refute this point. He still recognized his good brother's skills.
Back then at a stall in Liyue Harbor, Qin An saw with his own eyes Lao Liu helping a widow teach a class to seven or eight malicious guys, beating them without mercy.
Her personality is the kind that cannot tolerate any sand in her eyes.
"That won't work, you're a girl."
Qin An emphasized, and then continued: "It just so happens that I am also investigating, let me help you, so that the two of you can have company."
Mingyun Town is not a good place at night. It has been abandoned for so long that it is still eerie, and the workers at the dock say that it is haunted.
That's why it's so difficult to find night shift workers.
The workers are all hardworking and don't mind the hard work as long as they are paid, but the merchants in Mingyun Town have never been able to find suitable staff because of the ghost legend.
Keqing's heart warmed when she heard Qin An's words, and she was very moved.
This is the bond between friends. I made up my mind that if I really encountered danger, I must protect Qin An.
Chapter 23: Keqing’s Strength
Keqing's determination is not without reason.
After all, in Yuhengxing's eyes, although his good friend Qin An is loyal, his strength can only be said to be barely at the level of a healthy person.
If they encounter criminals later, she will still be the main force.
Keqing has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Through her own efforts, she cannot be said to be proficient in both civil and military affairs, but she can be said to have the best of both worlds.
The family-inherited Yunlai swordsmanship has reached a superb level, and with the Eye of God as a guarantee, he will never encounter any danger.
At the beginning, Keqing was very resistant to the Eye of God. She believed that her efforts should not be negated because of the existence of the Eye of God.
Later, she came to her senses. No matter how powerful the Eye of God was, it was just a tool after all.
There is no right or wrong in having a tool of power; the final result still depends on the person who uses it.
Keqing felt that she would not get lost in this power, so she just used the Eye of God as a useful tool.
"Mingyun Town has been abandoned for so long. Those people must have chosen this place to do something unacceptable."
Qin An knew Liyue quite well. After all, it was hard not to know about it after seeing and hearing so much.
Therefore, I have my own judgment.
"I don't know what they are doing, but from a legal point of view they have violated the laws of Liyue."
When talking about her job, Keqing's expression and tone were very serious.
There was a kind of handsome feeling, Qin An saw it and muttered to himself.
At this moment, Lao Liu's charm made people want to take a few more glances.
Especially her hairstyle? Are those cat ears?
Qin An noticed a detail that he really wanted to ask about, but the environment in front of him was obviously not suitable for chatting.
Qin An felt an urge in his heart, and wanted to touch the cat ears made of long purple hair. They attracted him just like Wang Xiaomei's pair of horns.
In the end, Qin An endured it. It was not because the environment did not allow it as mentioned before, but the most important thing was that he was afraid of being beaten.
With Lao Liu's personality, he would really hit someone when he gets angry!
Qin An certainly didn't want to offend this frown.
Although he was daydreaming, Qin An did not forget the most important thing. He followed Lao Liu and the two of them sneaked into Mingyun Town along the corner.
at night.
The entire Mingyun Town was eerily quiet.
It was pitch black, with only the scattered stars in the sky illuminating the earth. The moonlight today was not very beautiful, so the vision became extremely limited.
The breeze occasionally blew the fallen grass and trees, adding a lot of background sound to this quiet night.
