When the mountain bandits saw this, they also realized something was not right.
Then, they looked at Huang Fei meaningfully.
Huang Fei’s face had darkened so much that it resembled the bottom of a pot.
Before Shen Lian reached him, he suppressed the annoyance in his heart.
“Yo! There’s a beauty here as well.”
“Perfect! Grab her and take her back to be my wife!” Huang Fei said in an exaggerated performance.
Then, he gave the order. “Men, tie her up and take her away!”
The mountain bandits exchanged looks with each other before walking towards Shen Lian with “lewd smiles.”
Shen Lian looked terrified.
Then, she pretended to be calm and said loudly, “How impudent! Do you know who is in front of you?”
Song Rui frowned and turned to look at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian straightened her back and continued to berate loudly, “This young master is Lord Song, an official of the Ministry of Appointments!
“Also, I am the adopted daughter of the Prime Minister!
“You’d better leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Imperial Court and the
Prime Minister’s residence will not let you off!”
When the mountain bandits heard this, they exchanged looks with one another.
Thereafter, Huang Fei quickly shouted, “What are you all standing there for? Why aren’t you making a move?
“Are you really waiting for people to discover us? Are you waiting for the Imperial Court to send people to capture us?”
Shen Lian’s eyes widened.
She did not expect that even after revealing her identity, the other party would still not let them off.
When Huang Fei saw Shen Lian’s expression, he smiled somewhat wickedly.
He continued, “One is an official, and the other is the daughter of an official. If I really let you guys go, you will definitely get someone to give me trouble later.
“I might as well just capture all of you and take you all away.
“This way, no one will know that you guys are in my hands. The Imperial Court and the Prime Minister’s residence won’t be able to give me any trouble.”
Shen Lian’s face turned pale as she looked at Song Rui.
Song Rui was also frowning as he looked at her.
Shen Lian immediately regretted it immensely. She didn’t expect to outsmart herself with her actions just now.
Now, not only was she in danger, but she had also implicated Lord Song.
When she thought of this, Shen Lian’s eyes became glistening.
Her eyes were filled with an aggrieved look as she looked at Song Rui.
When Song Rui saw this, he felt a wave of disgust.
It was bad enough that she was brainless.
She had clearly done something wrong, yet she only knew how to act pitiful.
The mountain bandits quickly came forward.
Song Rui didn’t resist and let the bandits tie him up.
He even had a resigned expression on his face.
When she saw this, Shen Lian’s desire to escape fizzled out.
She only trembled as she watched the mountain bandits coming towards her.
Just as the mountain bandits were about to come up and tie her up, a threatening voice suddenly rang out from the front.
“Stop right there!” The voice was clear, and it was undoubtedly Qin Xiaoyao’s voice.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qin Xiaoyao riding a fine horse toward them.
She was dressed smartly and looked downright valiant.
Initially, Shen Lian still felt hopeful, but the moment she saw Qin Xiaoyao, the hope in her heart was extinguished at once.
This person wanted to save them. She thought that this person had a team of people with him.
To her surprise, he was all alone.
Moreover, the person who came was thin and did not seem to be a man.
Not only would he not be able to save them, but he might also have to sacrifice himself.
Song Rui’s eyes lit up the moment he heard Qin Xiaoyao’s voice.
At the same time, Huang Fei and the others were also very happy.
Thus, they put more effort into their performance.
“Who are you? How dare you ruin our plans?” Huang Fei bellowed at Qin Xiaoyao.
He didn’t dare to use words like “scumbag” and could only use “you.”
Qin Xiaoyao’s lips curled up.
“The one who took the head of the commander of ten thousand troops. Who do you think this Marquis is?” She looked at Huang Fei with a mocking expression.
Shen Lian was shocked.
Then, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao in disbelief.
Took the head of the commander of ten thousand troops? He even called himself “this Marquis.”
Who else could it be but Marquis Xiaoyao?
Even though she didn’t step out of the manor, she still knew this person’s name.
Was this person really… Marquis Xiaoyao?
Shen Lian’s eyes were soon filled with excitement.
If this person was really Marquis Xiaoyao, then they would be saved.
Huang Fei and the others appeared shocked when they heard Qin Xiaoyao’s words.
“How… how do you prove your identity?” Huang Fei asked Qin Xiaoyao immediately.
After asking, he glanced at Song Rui and Shen Lian, and his face displayed a look of reluctance.
It was as if he was hesitating whether to give up these two people and flee.
“Hmph! You will know after you come forward and exchange blows with me.” Qin Xiaoyao looked at Huang Fei with contempt.
The mountain bandits were a little terrified.
They exchanged looks with one another. They looked like they wanted to retreat but were unwilling to.
“Leader, I think she’s most likely lying.”
“If she is really the ‘God of Massacre,’ how could she possibly speak to us in such a pleasant manner?” a mountain bandit asked. A hint of evil intent flashed across his eyes.
“Yeah, Leader! She is most likely impersonating her. It’s just to scare us away!” another mountain bandit said. A similar trace of evil intent flashed across his eyes.
“Leader, you should go and spar with her,” a third mountain bandit urged him.
“If you can’t beat her, we’ll retreat. If you win, hehe! We can kidnap one more.”
When Huang Fei heard this, he cursed and swore inwardly.
Were these damn rascals itching for a beating? How could they set him up at this moment?
When the mountain bandits saw Huang Fei’s expression, they smiled guilelessly.
They were mountain bandits now! How could they simply run away?
It was only logical for their leader to get into a ferocious fight with the other party and only retreat if they were no match for her, wasn’t it?
Huang Fei felt very helpless. He had to continue acting.
He could only carry the hammer and look at Qin Xiaoyao.
He tried his best to pretend to be arrogant and said to Qin Xiaoyao, “Then let’s try!”
He didn’t want to fight with his Leader at all. Wasn’t that simply asking for a beating?
However, if he didn’t fight, how could that be acceptable?
If that gigolo and the delicate young lady noticed anything unusual, Leader would definitely punish him even more harshly.
Forget it. No matter how heavy the Leader’s strikes on him were later, he would return the favor to those rascals who had set him up when they went back.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth curled up as she looked at Huang Fei with a mocking expression.
“You asked for it,” she said leisurely.
As soon as she finished speaking, she leaped down from her horse.
Then, she gave Huang Fei a kick.
Huang Fei quickly dodged.
However, that leg seemed to have eyes. It flashed by like a shadow and kicked his hand that was holding the hammer.
That kick caused great pain in his hand.
At the same time, the hammer in his hand was sent flying by that kick.
Nearby, Shen Lian was dumbfounded by what she saw.
This person who called herself Marquis Xiaoyao was really strong.
When the mountain bandit placed his hammer on the ground earlier, that hammer sent a cloud of dust flying up from the ground.
However, she easily kicked that hammer away.
At this moment, Shen Lian finally believed.
This person was definitely Marquis Xiaoyao.
Their Great Jin State’s God of Massacre certainly lived up to her reputation. She was so powerful!
When Song Rui saw his wife flaunting her power, his eyes were filled with admiration.
That was right. This was his wife!
His wife was so powerful!
Qin Xiaoyao took a split second to glance at Song Rui.
When she saw the admiration in her husband’s eyes, she felt good all over.
She dispelled the thought of letting Huang Fei go at this stage.
Following this, she stepped forward and gave Huang Fei another impressive kick.
She sent Huang Fei flying straightaway, and he was flung quite far away..
