Before long, the sounds of fierce fighting outside spread into the dungeon.

The two of them knew that the Imperial Court’s army must have already attacked the government office.

Qin Xiaoyao could feel Song Que’s fear and reached out to hold Song Que’s hand.

Song Que glanced at his wife and felt much more at ease.

After another half an hour, the government office finally regained its peace.

Just as Qin Xiaoyao was about to say something to Song Que, she suddenly heard the sound of someone destroying the obstacles outside.

Her body stiffened, and just as she turned her head, her eyes met Song Que’s gaze.

Qin Xiaoyao only stood up after Song Que nodded at her.

Then, she walked out warily.

When she was about to reach the entrance of the dungeon, Qin Xiaoyao saw that someone was indeed removing the obstacles she had set up.

Moreover, the people who came were all dressed in military uniforms.

After making a guess at the general situation, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart was slightly at ease.

Then, she shouted to the people outside, “Those of you coming in from outside! Are you from the Imperial Court’s army?”

“That’s right! Who’s inside? Why did you seal the dungeon?” a soldier asked immediately.

Qin Xiaoyao heaved a sigh of relief.

“There are only me, a commoner woman, and my husband inside. Earlier, my husband was captured by bandits, so I came to rescue him. In the end, the two of us were trapped here by the mountain bandits.

“The obstacles were set up to prevent mountain bandits from barging in and threatening our lives!”

Qin Xiaoyao suddenly thought of something and quickly added, “In addition, the second mountain bandit leader has already been killed by me. The mountain bandit leader has also been captured by me and is currently locked up in the dungeon!”

The soldier who answered her from outside was stunned at once.

The few soldiers who were still dismantling the obstacles also stopped their actions unwittingly.

What? A woman said that she killed the mountain bandits’ second-in-command and even captured the bandit leader alive?

Without waiting for a reply, Qin Xiaoyao only needed to think for a moment before she guessed the reason for their reaction.

She immediately grabbed the corpse of the second mountain bandit leader nearby and brought it to the obstacles.

“This is the corpse of the mountain bandits’ second-in-command. Sir, you can verify his identity immediately.”

The soldier who had just answered her was shocked.

He quickly came forward.

After having a close look at the appearance of the corpse, he quickly got someone to bring a portrait.

When he had verified that the corpse on the ground was really the second mountain bandit leader, he got a shock.

Then, he asked Qin Xiaoyao, “Madam, is what you said just now true?”

Before they broke through the town’s defenses, the Second Prince had ordered them to take the heads of the mountain bandit leader and his second – in – command.

However, now that they had taken back the town, they had yet to find any sign of these two people.

To his surprise, these two guys were here.

“Of course, it’s true. Moreover, the bandit leader is still alive and in the dungeon.”

“Sir, you can come with me to check it out,” Qin Xiaoyao said hurriedly.

The soldier’s face lit up.

“Alright!” He immediately ordered several soldiers to speed up the removal of the obstacles.

On the other side, Qin Xiaoyao also cooperated and helped to remove the obstacles.

The soldier was very surprised to witness Qin Xiaoyao’s immense strength.

At the same time, he also felt more convinced by the words Qin Xiaoyao said earlier.

This lady said that she had killed the mountain bandits’ second-in-command and captured the bandit leader alive, so her martial arts skills must be extraordinary.

As such, it was not surprising that she possessed such strength.

Very soon, the obstacles were all removed.

The soldier could see Qin Xiaoyao clearly without any obstruction.

When he saw Qin Xiaoyao’s heroic appearance and her bearing which was in no way inferior to a man’s, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.

After saying a few simple words, he brought his men and followed Qin Xiaoyao to the dungeon.

Then, he easily found the mountain bandit leader who was tied to the torture rack.

When he saw the miserable state of the mountain bandit leader, the soldier felt a pang of heartache.

In particular, when he saw that his lower body was covered and a particular body part had dropped to the ground, the soldier felt that this mountain bandit leader was really unlucky.

However, he didn’t sympathize with him. He brought out the portrait to compare his appearance, and after confirming that this was the right person, he was all smiles.

“That’s right. This is indeed the bandit leader!

“Madam, you captured the bandit leader alive and killed the second leader of the mountain bandits. You’ve made a great contribution!” The soldier looked at Qin Xiaoyao with excitement.

Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward and cupped her hands at the soldiers.

“I don’t dare to accept such a great merit.

“It was these mountain bandits who first made things difficult for us husband and wife. I had no choice but to retaliate.”

After she finished speaking, Qin Xiaoyao turned her head and looked at her husband worriedly.

“My husband was locked up in the dungeon by the mountain bandit leader to freeze for an entire night. He has caught a cold and now his body almost can’t take it anymore.

“Sir, I hope you can grant us a favor and allow me to take my husband away to go look for a doctor to treat him.”

“Cough, cough…” Right on cue, Song Que started coughing violently.

Qin Xiaoyao hurried over and held Song Que up to soothe him.

When he saw this, the soldier frowned.

He thought to himself that this couple before him… The wife was indeed extraordinary, but this man…

Other than being a little handsome, he didn’t seem to have any redeeming qualities.

Sigh! He was a man, yet he looked so sissy. No wonder he was captured by the mountain bandits.

Fortunately, he had married a powerful woman…

That was right. The soldier was indeed aware of the mountain bandit leader’s hobbies.

Even though he did not hear Qin Xiaoyao’s detailed explanation, he could guess the reason for Song Que’s abduction.

“There’s no need to go outside to look for a doctor. Our military doctor is already here.

“I’ll make arrangements for the military doctor to take a look at your husband when we go out later.”

Qin Xiaoyao’s face lit up.

“Thank you, Sir!” She quickly cupped her fists and thanked him.

The officer gestured with his hand.

“There’s no need to thank me.

“You’ve made such a great contribution. You have to come with me to meet the Second Prince.

“The Second Prince will definitely reward you handsomely!”

Qin Xiaoyao was absolutely elated.

“Yes, Sir!” she happily answered.

The crisis has been resolved. Her Hubby can be treated by a military doctor. Now, she could even be rewarded. She couldn’t possibly ask for more!

“Alright. Then you guys can come with me!” The soldier said with a smile and strode outside.

Qin Xiaoyao quickly helped Song Que up and followed him.

After that, a few soldiers followed closely behind the two of them. They either escorted the bandit leader or carried the corpse of the second mountain bandit leader out of the dungeon.

It was only when they were outside that Song Que realized that the sky had already darkened completely.

Fortunately, there were enough torches in the courtyard, which lit up almost the entire backyard of the government office.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the soldier quickly made the necessary arrangements.

He had originally planned to have someone bring Song Que to see the military doctor separately, but when he found out the military doctor was attending to the Second Prince’s injuries at this moment, he decided he would bring Song Que along to meet the Second Prince.

Very soon, the group of people arrived outside the main hall in the front courtyard.

The soldier sent someone to pass the message.

Before long, they heard a voice telling them to go in.

Only then did the soldier lead Qin Xiaoyao and the others in.

“Greetings, Your Highness!” The soldier paid his respects to the Second Prince.

Qin Xiaoyao and Song Que followed suit.

“You may dispense with the formalities.” A majestic voice rang out.

Qin Xiaoyao raised her head and saw a handsome man.

He had straight, well-defined eyebrows with sharp, bright eyes. He possessed a powerful aura and had the presence befitting a high-ranking authoritative personality.

The Second Prince, Huangfu Wudi, sensed Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze. When his eyes met Qin Xiaoyao’s gaze, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

“You’re the one who killed the mountain bandits’ second-in-command and captured the bandit leader alive?” he asked in a deep voice..
