The guards had reported the situation earlier.
He honestly didn’t expect the ferocious mountain bandit leader and his second-in-command would fall into the hands of the same person.
Moreover, this person was such a valiant young man.
“Your Highness, it is indeed me, a commoner woman.” Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward and cupped her hands in a respectful bow.
The Second Prince was stunned at once.
He couldn’t help but raise his handsome, sharply-defined eyebrows. He sized up Qin Xiaoyao again and peered at her.
A commoner woman? This person was actually a woman?
Then, the Second Prince turned his gaze to the soldier.
The soldier knew that the information he had given the guard was limited. The guard most likely did not explain the situation clearly to the Second Prince.
After taking a step forward, the soldier explained in detail the circumstances surrounding Qin Xiaoyao and her husband to the Second Prince.
After the Second Prince listened to everything, he turned his gaze to Song Que, who was standing beside Qin Xiaoyao.
When he saw that Song Que’s looks were indeed unparalleled, he instantly knew what was going on.
Then, he said to the guard beside him, “Take Master Song away and ask the military doctor to take care of him.”
This couple was really interesting.
The husband was so beautiful he brought trouble upon himself, and his wife barged into the enemy’s camp to rescue her husband.
More critically, she genuinely rescued him.
“Yes, Sir!” The guard answered.
Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que quickly expressed their thanks.
“Ah, you’re welcome.”
“Master Song, please go and see the doctor with peace of mind. I still have some things to ask your wife,” the Second Prince said to Song Que.
Song Que gave Qin Xiaoyao a glance before bowing to the Second Prince.
Then, he left, with the guards helping to support him.
Qin Xiaoyao watched Song Que leave and only withdrew her gaze after the group had left the hall.
When the Second Prince saw this, he couldn’t help feeling intrigued.
“Madam, you and Master Song are so deeply in love with each other. It’s touching indeed,” he said.
Qin Xiaoyao was a little dumbfounded when she caught the jesting tone in the other party’s words.
“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Your Highness,” she immediately responded.
She didn’t know this person very well, did she? Was he joking and making fun of her?
The smile on the Second Prince’s face froze when he saw that Qin Xiaoyao didn’t appreciate the joke. He immediately became solemn.
“Ahem… This time, the mountain bandits wreaked havoc and seized Mountain Spring Town. I’ve been ordered to annihilate these mountain bandits.
“But the mountain bandits are cunning and they are too familiar with the terrain of Mountain Spring Town and its surroundings. The clean-up operation was extremely challenging.
“This time, it’s all thanks to you, Madam. You managed to control the bandit leader in time and killed the mountain bandits’ second-in-command. That was how we managed to hold back most of the bandits and keep them in the town.
“Now that our army has won, we’ve already eliminated most of the mountain bandits. Your contribution in this battle is undeniable.” The Second Prince praised her, and as he gazed upon Qin Xiaoyao, his eyes were once again filled with admiration.
At the same time, he also felt a little regretful.
Unfortunately, she was a woman. Otherwise, he would have taken such a talent for his own use.
“You’re too kind, Your Highness. I’m only taking advantage of the situation.
“My husband and I were saved because of Your Highness.
“If Your Highness had not led the troops to attack the town and caused turmoil within the ranks of the mountain bandits, I could not have defended the dungeon all by myself,” Qin Xiaoyao cupped her fists and replied.
The Second Prince nodded. He was very pleased with Qin Xiaoyao’s modesty.
“I’m very interested to know how you captured the mountain bandit leader alive and how you got rid of the second leader.
“Can you tell me the details?” the Second Prince continued.
This group of bandits was different from ordinary mountain bandits, especially the leader and his second-in-command. Their hands were stained with the blood of countless people.
He was really curious about this woman’s ability.
“Yes, Sir,” Qin Xiaoyao answered.
Following that, she told the Second Prince everything that happened after she sneaked into the government office.
The Second Prince listened with great interest.
After he heard how Song Que gave ideas for Qin Xiaoyao, as well as Qin Xiaoyao’s various deeds after that, his eyes were filled with admiration.
This couple was indeed extraordinary.
“Haha! How wonderful!
“There’s a drill ground in the backyard. Would you like to follow me to go for a try-out?” The Second Prince quickly said after hearing from Qin Xiaoyao that she had easily taken care of the second leader and three other mountain bandits.
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned momentarily.
“As you wish, Your Highness,” she immediately answered.
It seemed that the Second Prince wanted to test her martial arts skills.
Since there was someone taking care of her husband, she would go and play with him then.
“Haha! This way please!” The Second Prince stood up and immediately brought Qin Xiaoyao to the backyard.
The so-called drill ground was just a temporary setup. It probably had something to do with the Second Prince’s love for the martial arts.
When they arrived, the Second Prince quickly brought two bows and arrows.
“Madam, do you want to try?” He even handed one bow to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at the bow and arrow that the Second Prince handed to her, and then peered at the target that was less than fifteen meters away. She accepted the bow and arrow.
The Second Prince had already drawn his bow and taken aim. He quickly shot the arrow.
The arrow hit the bullseye spot-on.
The faces of the surrounding guards were full of amazement.
The Second Prince was also in a good mood and had a smile on his face.
By contrast, Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t really bothered.
When he saw her reaction, the Second Prince’s smile vanished and he said to Qin Xiaoyao, “Madam, don’t you want to try?”
He thought to himself, “Although this can’t be considered shooting with exact precision, it is still considered good archery.”
However, this woman didn’t seem to take it seriously.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the bow and arrow in her hand. After some thought, she returned the bow to the Second Prince, leaving only the arrow.
The Second Prince was still wondering what was going on when he saw Qin Xiaoyao breaking the arrowhead off with ease.
Then she casually tossed it to the other side…
Crack! A crisp sound rang out as the arrowhead pierced the center of the target’s bullseye.
In fact, it even passed through the red center and shot through the target outright.
Some of the guards watching this thought they were hallucinating.
It wasn’t until they heard the Second Prince’s order telling them to check the target that they sprang into action.
After the guards left, the Second Prince looked at the target opposite anxiously, waiting for news.
After a while, the guard brought back the arrowhead that Qin Xiaoyao had shot out and the target that had been pierced through.
The Second Prince’s eyes widened in shock when he saw this.
“Madam, what excellent skills you have!” Then, he quickly turned around and cupped his hands at Qin Xiaoyao.
Just a moment ago, he had thought that this woman had gone too far and exaggerated her own abilities.
To his surprise…
For a person to be able to hit and even penetrate the target with just an arrowhead, he must surely possess tremendous power in terms of accuracy and strength!
Who would believe that she was not a martial arts expert?
Qin Xiaoyao raised her hand with a smile.
“Second Prince, you’re too kind.
“I don’t know how to shoot with a bow. Just now, I was anxious and broke off the arrowhead and used it instead to shoot the target. Please don’t take offense, Your Highness.” Although she said these humble words, Qin Xiaoyao’s underlying meaning was not humble at all.
He wanted to test her, but now he knew how powerful she was!
The Second Prince also saw through Qin Xiaoyao’s attitude, but he wasn’t angry at all. Instead, he found Qin Xiaoyao very interesting.
Very quickly, he asked Qin Xiaoyao for her guidance on how to shoot an arrowhead.
The Second Prince was amazed to learn that Qin Xiaoyao was not only good at shooting with arrowheads, but she could also hurt people by shooting with leaves.
He immediately asked Qin Xiaoyao to demonstrate.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t hold back. She plucked a few leaves from the flower bed next to her and used them as darts, shooting them at another target opposite her..
