Of course, Qin Xiaoyao deliberately restrained her strength. And the place where she kicked was not a vital part.

Huang Fei knew what his Leader was thinking, so he even cooperated with her when he was sent flying.

Therefore, he wasn’t actually kicked that hard in reality.

Nonetheless, it was enough for him to suffer quite a bit.

“Ouch!” After landing, Huang Fei wailed out loud.

Then, he quickly got up from the ground.

“You win!” After saying that, he ran away. He didn’t even ask for his own weapon.

When the rest of the mountain bandits saw their leader running away, they quickly ran after him.

“Hahahaha…” Qin Xiaoyao laughed outrageously.

When the bandits heard her laughter, they ran even faster.

After a while, the whole group followed Huang Fei into the mountains and disappeared without a trace.

Shen Lian frowned when she saw this.

Marquis Xiaoyao’s martial arts skills were indeed formidable.

However, if that was the case, why did she let those mountain bandits go?

Wouldn’t she be eliminating evil for the people if she killed them off? Or else, she could send them to the government office and let them deal with the bandits, couldn’t she?

Song Rui, on the other hand, was smiling brightly like a spring breeze as he looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Lord Marquis, thank you for saving us!” He took the initiative to step forward and cupped his hands in greeting at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled radiantly.

“Lord Song, you are too polite. You and I are both officials of the same court.

Since Lord Song is in danger, how can 1 not save you?”

Song Rui smiled again.

“I’ve heard that Lord Marquis’s martial arts skills are unparalleled. 1 have finally seen it for myself.”

“Haha! The rest of the people are just exaggerating!” Though her words sounded modest, her attitude was not modest at all.

Shen Lian, who was at the side, saw the two of them chatting happily and came over.

“Shen Lian hereby greets Lord Marquis. Thank you for saving my life!” She bowed to Qin Xiaoyao politely.

This was their Great Jin State’s God of Massacre. Even if her father met her, he would have to show her some respect.

Not surprisingly, Shen Lian wanted to get to know Marquis Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao then withdrew her gaze from Song Rui and looked at Shen Lian.

She sized Shen Lian up silently and realized that this woman was not as good-looking as Shen Rong.

In terms of bearing, she was also inferior to Shen Rong.

When she thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao’s sense of superiority rose.

This was a woman who couldn’t even compare to Shen Rong. What was there for her to worry about?

“You are…” Qin Xiaoyao inquired, pretending not to know anything.

Song Rui glanced at Shen Lian and gave an introduction. “Oh, this is the adopted daughter of Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen Lian.

“Today, 1 am under Minister Shen’s orders to bring Miss Shen Lian into the residence.”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Shen Lian again.

“Oh, 1 see. So you’re Minister Shen’s daughter!” she said with a smile.

When she saw Qin Xiaoyao smiling at her, the smile on Shen Lian’s face grew even wider.

“Lord Marquis is valiant and heroic, a hero among women indeed. Today, after witnessing this, 1 have certainly broadened my horizon,” she said in an attempt to flatter Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.

She thought to herself, “This woman is quite good at observing people’s expressions and flattering others.”

She did not know if it was due to this reason that she was chosen by Minister Shen to enter the Prime Minister’s residence.

“Miss Shen, you are too kind,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.

Then, she looked at Song Rui again.

“There’s still some distance to the capital. Why don’t I accompany the two of you there?” she said.

Song Rui hurriedly cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.

“That would be great! I’ll have to trouble you, Lord Marquis.”

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and gestured with her hand.

“No problem. Anyway, I’m preparing to return to the capital. We are going the same way.”

Nearby, Shen Lian’s eyes lit up.

“After we enter the capital, why don’t you come with us to the Prime Minister’s residence, Lord Marquis?

“Today, Lord Marquis saved me and Lord Song. Once Father hears about this, he will definitely reward you generously.”

If she could bring Marquis Xiaoyao back, her father would definitely think highly of her.

In the future, her position in the Prime Minister’s residence might also be different.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Shen Lian. She understood the thoughts in her mind.

“It doesn’t matter whether you thank me or not.

“However, it so happens that our Ministry of War has something to discuss with Minister Shen.

“In that case, 1 might as well pay Minister Shen a visit.”

Shen Lian’s face lit up at once.

“Lord Marquis, please…” she hurriedly said.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and nodded at Shen Lian.

She turned around and got on the horse.

Shen Lian then looked at Song Rui.

Thereafter, she walked with Song Rui toward the horse carriage behind.

As Qin Xiaoyao watched the two of them leave, a glint of menace flashed across her eyes.

“Well done, Song Que. Just you wait…” she thought.

Song Rui, who was listening to Shen Lian, felt a sudden chill run down his spine.

He felt totally helpless knowing who was staring at him.

It was just as he predicted…

The group quickly set off.

They soon arrived at the capital safely.

After that, they crossed a few streets and finally arrived at the Prime Minister’s residence.

Song Rui was the first to get off the horse carriage and instructed the gatekeeper to inform Minister Shen that Marquis Xiaoyao had come to visit.

At the same time, he told another servant to bring Shen Lian to her courtyard.

Shen Lian wanted to follow Qin Xiaoyao and Song Rui to see Minister Shen, but after thinking for a while, she decided against the idea.

She would be able to see her father later.

If she went with them now, her father might not think that she was the one who helped the Prime Minister’s residence win over Marquis Xiaoyao. Instead, he might think that she was greedy and did not know her limits.

“In that case, 1 will take my leave first,” she smiled and bowed to Song Rui and Qin Xiaoyao.

Shen Lian only left after the two of them responded.

After she had walked far away, Qin Xiaoyao glared at Song Rui.

Song Rui, on the other hand, smiled at Qin Xiaoyao ingratiatingly and put on an innocuous expression.

At this moment, someone came out from the Shen family’s residence.

“I’ll deal with you another time,” Qin Xiaoyao growled to Song Rui in a low voice.

Then, when she turned around and looked toward the Prime Minister’s residence, her face was already full of smiles.

“Marquis Xiaoyao, you are here. What a rare guest! A rare guest indeed…” Minister Shen came out and headed towards the main entrance to welcome Qin Xiaoyao personally.

Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly cupped her hands in return.

“Lord Shen, you are too polite! 1 came here unannounced without even sending you an invitation first. It is me who is lacking in manners.”

“Please don’t say that. Whenever Lord Marquis wants to pay us a visit, just get someone to inform us,” Minister Shen said with a smile.

“Oh, yes. I heard that Lord Marquis saved my adopted daughter and Lord Song?” As he spoke, Minister Shen looked at Song Rui.

On the way here, the servant had already told him a little about the incident. However, he wasn’t clear about the exact details.

Song Rui quickly bowed to Minister Shen.

“That’s right. On the way back from picking up Miss Lian’er, we encountered a group of bandits at the foot of Grimalkin Mountain who tried to rob us.

“Thankfully, Lord Marquis appeared and chased the mountain bandits away. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Minister Shen pondered for a while.

“There are bandits outside the Imperial City but Lord Marquis didn’t capture them?” he asked Qin Xiaoyao very quickly.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled as she looked at Minister Shen.

“It’s not difficult to capture those few people, but there are many more mountain bandits in Grimalkin Mountain than those few.

“Previously, I heard that there were bandits on Grimalkin Mountain causing trouble, so I was prepared to bring my men there to flush them out of their lair. “But the terrain of Grimalkin Mountain is complicated, and there are many traps inside. It was difficult to locate traces of the mountain bandits. Therefore, the matter of suppressing the bandits was delayed.

“And now, we’ve already discovered traces of the mountain bandits. As long as we follow the tracks of those few mountain bandits, we will be able to locate their lair..”𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝒎
