Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Two…11 Qin Xiaoyao didn’t care and continued counting.
“I… Hero, I… give me three days. Er, no! Just one day is enough! How about it?” Lord Liu continued to plead.
“Three…” Qin Xiaoyao ignored him and continued counting.
“Four? She even increased the speed of her counting.
When he saw that Qin Xiaoyao was about to count to five, Lord Liu hurriedly blurted out, “Agree! i agree!”
With that, a drop of sweat dripped onto the ground.
His entire body was prostrated on the ground. His limbs were so weak that he could not really get up.
“Hmph! Look at you.” Qin Xiaoyao laughed scornfully.
The smell of urine was already in the air.
Then, she removed her foot from Lord Liu’s back in disgust.
Lord Liu wanted badly to wail and cry loudly, but he could only tremble and force himself to endure it.
Qin Xiaoyao fanned her nose in disgust.
“Alright. Don’t be so depressed. The honorable men won’t act so rashly. Without the confidence of victory, they will not rashly launch any action.”
Lord Liu was stunned, but he felt somewhat comforted inwardly. At least he did not feel as hopeless as before.
Qin Xiaoyao spoke again when she saw his expression.
“Get up. Since you’ve agreed to cooperate, I still have some things for you to do.”
“Yes, yes…” Lord Liu quickly replied.
He regained some strength and hurriedly got up from the ground.
Qin Xiaoyao then told Lord Liu about the arrangements.
Lord Liu agreed to all the arrangements.
He had no choice. Right now, his miserable life was still in the hands of the person in front of him.
Qin Xiaoyao was satisfied with Lord Liu’s attitude.
After telling Lord Liu about the arrangements, she reached out and patted Lord Liu’s shoulder.
“You can’t go back on your word once you have agreed to carry out these things.
“Otherwise, I can come and take your miserable life at any time.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao extended her fist and smashed a hole in the wall beside her. The entire room shook from the impact.
Lord Liu s eyes were filled with terror.
As he looked at the hole in the wall, all thoughts of resisting or squealing on Qin Xiaoyao vanished at once.
Even if he went to report, Empress Jia might not be able to convict Prince Huaiyin.
Even if Prince Huaiyin was punished, the punishment would most likely not be very serious.
Whereas Lord Liu would have offended Prince Huaiyin thoroughly. It was not hard for Lord Liu to imagine his own outcome.
Right now, the most pragmatic thing was still allowing himself to be threatened by this man in black day and night.
Even if Lord Liu could transfer some people to protect himself, who knew when these staff would be negligent over time?
Furthermore, ordinary guards and even soldiers were probably no match for this guy.
His prefectural magistrate’s government office could be considered to be heavily guarded, yet this guy still managed to sneak in easily.
T wouldn’t dare! I will definitely obey your orders, hero! 1 will not dare to be negligent!”
Qin Xiaoyao felt satisfied inwardly.
“Alright! Then 1’11 be waiting to pick those two up tomorrow.
“Lord Liu, take care of yourself.” After saying that, Qin Xiaoyao swaggered towards the door.
As she walked, she paid attention to what was happening behind her.
She thought to herself that as long as this fellow with the surname Liu dared to call for help, she would immediately make a move and end his life.
In the end, Lord Liu remained silent and did not even make a sound.
Qin Xiaoyao even felt a little disappointed after walking through the door.
Tonight’s mission was a little too simple.
However, it was also a good thing that things went smoothly.
When she thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao slowed down again.
She stopped at an intersection and looked in the direction of Song Rui’s residence.
She shifted her feet and finally sighed. She then turned around and went back to her Marquis’s residence.
In another half a month, the big matter in the capital would be over. She and her husband would be able to spend the rest of their lives together.
After returning to the Marquis s residence, Qin Xiaoyao changed out of her night-travel clothing and fell asleep on her bed.
She slept rather soundly this time.
The next day, Qin Xiaoyao went to the army camp to report for work as usual.
Not surprisingly, the Crown Prince was here again.
When she saw that the Crown Prince was forcing himself to smile at her again, Qin Xiaoyao returned the courtesy with her own fake smile.
The Crown Prince was so freaked out he almost wanted to escape.
“There’s nothing urgent in the army today. Since Your Highness wants to stay by my side, then follow me to take a look at the training of the Special Forces Teams.”
“Good… good,” the Crown Prince agreed fearfully.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at the Crown Prince, then stood up and left the tent.
The Crown Prince mustered his courage before running after her.
He followed Qin Xiaoyao and they soon reached a martial arts training ground.
When she saw Huang Daqiao talking to the special forces team members, Qin Xiaoyao glanced behind her and strode over.
“Leader!” When Huang Daqiao saw Qin Xiaoyao coming over, he hurriedly bowed to Qin Xiaoyao.
“Greetings, Lord Marquis!” The special forces team members hurriedly followed suit and bowed.
“Mm-hmm.” Qin Xiaoyao responded and stepped forward.
Her gaze swept across the faces of the team members, making them both nervous and excited.
When the Crown Prince saw this scene, he watched from afar and hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should follow.
In the end, he still followed Qin Xiaoyao into the training ground.
When Qin Xiaoyao saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up into a wicked smile.
Following that, she spoke up. “This is His Highness the Crown Prince.” “Greetings, Your Highness!” Huang Daqiao immediately bowed to the Crown Prince. His voice resounded loudly.
The Crown Prince’s face almost turned pale from fright.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” The special forces team members followed suit. Their voices became even louder, scaring the Crown Prince so much that his face turned even more ashen.
“Please… please rise.” Suppressing the fear in his heart, the Crown Prince forced himself to calm down.
He had done his homework before coming to the army camp, so he naturally knew about the special forces team.
In the previous confrontation with the Liao army, Marquis Xiaoyao had led a special forces team into battle with repeated success.
At that time, the special forces team was labeled the “beheading team’ by the Liao army. That team was the nightmare of the Liao army.
After Marquis Xiaoyao entered the capital with Prince Huaiyin, she also brought the special forces team with her.
It was said that most of the members had been incorporated into a team called Warfire.
At the same time, other special forces teams were formed within the army.
Currently, it was said that there were close to ten such teams in the army.
The members of these special forces teams trained hard every day to advance themselves. Each member could purportedly fight against ten people. They were the elite soldiers among elite soldiers!
Huang Daqiao s eyes flickered when he saw the Crown Prince’s reaction. He looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao gave Huang Daqiao an eye signal.
Huang Daqiao was somewhat surprised to see this signal.
Following that, he quickly smiled faintly at Qin Xiaoyao.
When the special forces team members saw the Crown Prince, they were a little excited initially.
However, when they saw the Crown Prince’s reaction, they were ail a little disappointed.
Despite this, it only took a moment for their disappointment to be suppressed.
They were not just Lord Marquis’s soldiers. They were also Prince Huaiyin’s soldiers.
All of them had fought bloody battles at the border with Prince Huaiyin. In their hearts, Prince Huaiyin was more qualified to be the next heir to the throne than the Crown Prince.
Now that they had seen the Crown Prince’s cowardly appearance, they were even more convinced of their inner thoughts.
How could such a Crown Prince compare to their brave Prince Huaiyin?
When she saw that Huang Daqiao understood what she meant, Qin Xiaoyao spoke, “The Crown Prince has come personally to witness the strength of our special forces team. Lead everyone to practice for the Crown Prince to take a look.”
Huang Daqiao’s eyes lit up.
“Yes, Leader!” He bowed and responded loudly.
He lowered his head and a wicked smile flashed across his eyes..
