Soon, it was the second servant’s turn, followed by the third servant.
In a short while, all the servants were knocked to the ground, every one of them wailing in pain.
When they saw this, the three well-dressed young men finally revealed a look of fear.
“Do… do you know who we are? How dare you stir up trouble for us?” One of the young men gathered his courage and asked Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled in amusement.
“I don’t know,” she replied casually.
When she saw that the three were both angry and afraid, she had some thoughts of teasing them.
“Then, do you guys know this Marquis here?” Qin Xiaoyao said as she lifted her head.
So they wanted to use their influence to oppress other people? It seemed like she could give it a try herself.
When they heard the word “Marquis,” the three young men all got a shock.
This person was actually a Marquis?
An unfamiliar Marquis and he was skilled in the martial arts. Could it be…
One of the well-dressed young men’s expression changed at once.
“You… you’re Marquis Xiaoyao?” he said with a fearful expression.
As soon as he said that, the eyes of the two well-dressed young men beside him widened as well, and they looked at Qin Xiaoyao in horror.
They were not the only ones fearful. The surrounding commoners also stood further away.
Qin Xiaoyao was the “Great Jin State’s God of Massacre.”
She had killed countless Liao soldiers on the battlefield with her own hands, infiltrated the camp of tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, and killed that damned Liao Supreme Commander, Xiao Yuan.
When the news was sent back to the capital, everyone was saying that this fellow General Qin had killed countless people without any emotion and her face resembled the King of Hell.
While the commoners respected her, they were also afraid of her.
It was said that the Great Jin State’s God of Massacre had entered the palace to meet the Emperor yesterday and was then conferred the title of Marquis Xiaoyao.
If the person in front of them was a newly-conferred Marquis, he could very well be Qin Xiaoyao.
However, didn’t they say that Qin Xiaoyao was a woman with a tall and powerful build, and that she was extremely ferocious?
This person’s appearance didn’t quite match…
“Mm-hmm. You still have some brains,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
Just as she finished speaking, the well-dressed young man who asked the question shouted, “Run!”
Immediately, the three well-dressed young men took to their heels.
Even their servants got up from the ground and scrambled and crawled away rapidly, ignoring the pain
The commoners didn’t run away, but they moved further away and secretly sized up this new war god of the Great Jin State.
When she saw this, Qin Xiaoyao rubbed her nose.
She saw that the young man who had been bullied was still sitting on the ground. She led her horse and walked forward.
“They’ve all left. Get up,” she said. At the same time, she reached out her hand to him.
The young man was taken aback.
He raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at the pair of almond-shaped eyes that were almost identical to Song Que’s.
Qin Xiaoyao only quickly came back to her senses when she saw a flash of fear in the other party’s eyes.
“The ground is cold. You’d… better get up yourself.” Then, she withdrew her hand in disappointment.
The fear in the young man’s eyes finally dissipated.
When he saw that Qin Xiaoyao was about to turn around and leave, he quickly called out to her.
“Benefactor, please wait…” Immediately after that, he got up from the ground with great effort.
Qin Xiaoyao turned around and saw the young man’s face clearly.
This young man really looked like her husband. This was particularly true of his eyes, which were almost exactly the same as her husband’s.
However, his looks were somewhat inferior to her husband’s, and his bearing was more gentle and lissome than her husband’s. Or rather, it could be said that he was a little too effeminate.
“Benefactor, are you really Marquis Xiaoyao?” The young man’s face was a little red, and he didn’t quite dare to look at Qin Xiaoyao’s face.
“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
The young man immediately raised his head and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
When he met Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes, he quickly looked away, like a little rabbit that had been startled.
“I, Liu Ling, hereby thank Lord Marquis for saving my life.” The young man quickly stood straight and bowed respectfully to Qin Xiaoyao.
He was really like a delicate willow in the wind, with a decidedly unique charm.
“You’re too polite.
“Those people here earlier probably won’t be coming back. However, you should leave quickly,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
She was a person who always sympathized with beautiful people, especially those weak, fragile ones.
However, that was where she drew the line. If she interfered more than this, she would be crossing the line.
“Yes! Thank you for your reminder, Lord Marquis,” Liu Ling quickly answered.
Qin Xiaoyao nodded.
She mounted her horse and rode away.
Liu Ling stood where he was and watched Qin Xiaoyao’s back profile until she disappeared at the corner of the street.
Marquis Xiaoyao was completely different from what the rumors said.
Qin Xiaoyao went straight to the army camp and didn’t take this interlude on the way too seriously.
After she arrived at the army camp, she first familiarized herself with the environment and then began to deal with the military affairs.
Due to her high efficiency, she finished today’s work before evening.
Huang Fei and the others had also received their rewards today. All the various army leaders were extremely happy.
They went to look for Qin Xiaoyao, saying that they wanted to treat the new Marquis to a meal.
Qin Xiaoyao thought about how everyone had fought for so long and worked so hard.
Now that she had returned to the capital, she ought to celebrate, and so she accepted their invitation.
Thus, the whole group of people left the army camp early and went to the most famous brothel in the capital, Cloud Scent Court, for a drink.
Of course, the location was decided by her subordinates, and she, as the Leader, was just following them.
However, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t really object to this suggestion.
It wasn’t just men who could drink with female companionship. In her previous life, during the apocalypse, she also frequented the red-light district.
After entering Cloud Scent Court, Qin Xiaoyao immediately booked the entire second floor.
The various army leaders looked left and right like country bumpkins who had just entered the town. They were extremely amazed.
When the fine wine and delicacies, as well as the beautiful women, were served, everyone quickly became lively.
Everyone was drinking and feasting heartily, or chatting and having fun with the beautiful women. It was a very merry atmosphere.
Qin Xiaoyao sat in the seat of honor, accompanied by a beautiful woman too.
And it was said that this woman was the top courtesan of this Cloud Scent Court. She was known as Courtesan Yun Niang.
This was because Qin Xiaoyao’s status was noble, so Yun Niang took the initiative to accompany her.
Otherwise, even if the customer offered a high price, he might not be able to get Yun Niang’s companionship.
“Lord Marquis is serving the state and the people. Yun Niang hereby offers a toast to Lord Marquis again.” The beauty’s smile was as beautiful as a flower, and her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Qin Xiaoyao. This made Qin Xiaoyao very pleased.
She picked up her wine cup and drank a toast with Yun Niang.
“Miss Yun Niang, you are too polite.
“Today, 1 came over to drink with my brothers. It was all thanks to Miss Yun Niang that 1 was able to save some money on the wine,” Qin Xiaoyao expressed her thanks.
She had only found out how expensive the wine was in Cloud Scent Court after coming here.
If Yun Niang didn’t give them a discount, Qin Xiaoyao’s monthly official salary wouldn’t even be enough to treat her gang of brothers to a meal.
Fortunately, Yun Niang had spoken up and asked the brothel owner to give Qin Xiaoyao a discount. She even promised to bring some of her sisters to accompany Qin Xiaoyao’s gang for free.
She could just barely afford this meal after a 50% discount.
Sigh! She suddenly realized that she was actually very poor…
The matter of purchasing properties and making money had to be scheduled as soon as possible.
“Hehe! Lord Marquis is too polite.
“Lord Marquis has killed countless enemies for the Great Jin State and protected the countless commoners of the Great Jin State. You are a great hero.
“1 am only doing something that is within my capability for you, Lord Marquis. How can it be worthy of Lord Marquis’s thanks?”
“If Lord Marquis does not despise me because 1 am a lowly person, in the future, you can come to Cloud Scent Court more often. 1, Yun Niang, will definitely welcome you..”
