Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

The footsteps were very orderly, and there were only a few people. It couldn't be that group of Japanese pirates, so who else could it be?

The first people she thought of were Huo Jinying's four deserters.

Could they be spies of the Japanese pirates? They came to scout the area, but Xia Qin believed in her instincts. These people still respected her father and brother very much.

Perhaps they are here to secretly help the Mu family? It is very likely, but there is no way to confirm it. Xia Qin has decided to wait and see what they do.

The few people outside stopped at a certain position, no longer moving or making any sound.

Another half an hour later, noisy footsteps were heard from the northeast. According to Xia Qin's judgment, there were definitely more than twenty people!

This should be the Japanese pirates that Huo Jinying and others mentioned.

They arrived at the gate of the Mu residence, and a rough voice commanded: "The six of you stand guard outside the door, report any situation immediately, and the rest of you follow me to charge in!"

"Ah!" Before they even entered, screams were heard from the crowd.

"Boss, they are prepared. One of our brothers has been shot by an arrow!"

"Never mind! Just break the door and get in!"

With a few "bang! bang! bang!" the door was smashed open.

"Ah!" There was another scream.

"Damn it! Light up the torches and burn down the gatehouse! I want to see how long these guys can last!"

Mu Jinyu, holding a bow, calmly observed the people coming from the side room. The leader of this gang was a middle-aged man in his forties with a beard. He held a three-and-a-half-foot-long Japanese sword and wore a brown coarse cloth.

It would be great if he had enough weapons, but unfortunately he only had a bow with him, his father was holding a spear as usual, and several guards were holding ring-handled swords.

The number of people was more than expected, at least thirty. He thought for a moment and realized that before exposing his position, he could only kill four or five people with the bow and arrow in his hand.

After close combat, they have a 60% chance of annihilating the enemy, and breaking out and escaping will not be difficult, but I'm afraid that few of the guards of the Mu Mansion will survive.

The pirate leader shouted, "You guys guard the gate, the rest of you follow me in to search!"

Following this order, more than twenty Japanese pirates rushed into the Mu family holding torches. As the fire in the gatehouse started, the courtyard was as bright as day.

Before Xia Qin moved, she had already heard the actions of several people who had arrived earlier. After a muffled groan, the Japanese pirates who were responsible for guarding the periphery fell down, but the whereabouts of several people were also discovered.

"Who's over there?"

Xia Qin no longer hesitated. Holding the prepared dagger, she gently pushed the door open and walked out. She looked forward and saw that it was Huo Jinying and four others who came to help them.

After they were discovered, the remaining Japanese pirates outside the door quickly surrounded them and started fighting.

Huo Jinying was surrounded by three people and was obviously struggling. After ten moves, he was at a disadvantage.

In the dark night, the fire in the gatehouse made the surroundings flicker. Xia Qin carefully observed the battle situation, as if she had returned to her previous life, the environment she was most familiar with.

It's now!

While they were fighting, Xia Qin lurked quietly and got behind the Japanese pirates as quickly as possible. He appeared from the darkness and bit one of the Japanese pirates' neck lightly with his dagger like a poisonous snake.

"Puff!" Blood spurted out, and the Japanese pirate fell to the ground slowly without any reaction.

Seeing this, the other Japanese pirate reacted very quickly and immediately raised his knife to chop at Xia Qin, but Xia Qin easily dodged it by turning sideways.

"Who are you?!" The Japanese pirate looked at Xia Qin with horror, but Xia Qin ignored him and rushed forward with a dagger in hand.

The Japanese pirate swung the long sword in his hand with all his strength to force Xia Qin to retreat. Xia Qin immediately dodged it easily by supporting himself with his hands, but the next moment he appeared in front of the Japanese pirate. Before the Japanese pirate could react again, the dagger had already pierced his chest.

Huo Jinying took advantage of the moment when the last Japanese pirate who was besieging him was distracted and killed him with one sword.

In the flickering firelight, Huo Jinying recognized that the person who rescued him was Xia Qin. Seeing her dressed in black, with no expression on her face but murderous eyes, he was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.

"Mu..."

"You attract the other party's attention!" Xia Qin didn't let him speak, but simply gave the order.

After Huo Jinying nodded mechanically subconsciously, Xia Qin immediately retreated into the darkness.

"Hiss!" A slight sound came from the throat of another Japanese pirate who was slowly falling down. Xia Qin appeared behind him and the dagger just scratched his neck.

Just like that, as Xia Qin's figure continued to disappear and reappear in the darkness, several Japanese pirates met their death before they could even see her appearance clearly.

These people were just bandits, much weaker than the world's top mercenaries Xia Qin had faced before, and were no match for her at all.

Although Huo Jinying and his four companions had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen countless deaths, they had always fought head-on on the battlefield. They had never seen a person being hunted in such a way as killing dogs and chickens.

Xia Qin's petite and ghostly figure was as sharp as a cheetah. Add to that the expression on her face that remained calm even after killing four or five people in a row, and you'd think she wouldn't be so calm even when killing a chicken!

The four of them couldn't help but gasp, and they froze in place, unable to utter a word, let alone know what to do.

"Don't be distracted! Thieves will come out soon. You continue to resist them head-on, and leave the rest to me!" Xia Qin gave the order, rolled sideways and disappeared into the darkness.

Sure enough, a few Japanese pirates in the Mu Mansion heard the noise outside and ran out, but they didn't expect that in such a short time, all six of their companions outside were gone.

Huo Jinying did not hesitate and immediately killed the Japanese pirates who had just run out to check the situation.

Although he could not withstand a few moves from Xia Qin, he was, after all, a battle-hardened centurion of the Fire Battalion with remarkable skills, so it was not difficult for him to suppress the two Japanese pirates.

While they were in a stalemate, Xia Qin used the same trick again. The killing of one person was like a well-programmed machine, simple and neat.

This wave of Japanese pirates also fell quickly, but the difference was that she left one alive this time.

The man ran while shouting, "Boss, this is bad. We've been tricked. There's an ambush outside. It's those four refugees! Those four bastards betrayed us."

When the Japanese pirate leader heard this, he was immediately panicked and shouted, "Brother San, retreat! You lead the others to resist the people inside, I will lead the others to break out, and you follow behind!"

He still has some tactical knowledge. Xia Qin and the others thought so after hearing what this man said.

However, their strength was still a bit lacking. About thirty people came, but half of them were killed in less than an incense stick of time, leaving only more than ten people.

Whether facing Mu Lie, Mu Jinyu and a group of guards in the courtyard, or facing Xia Qin, Huo Jinying and others outside the courtyard, he had no chance of winning.

Root out the evil. This is the principle that Xia Qin has strictly followed when dealing with various criminal gangs and mercenary organizations over the years.

Xia Qin, Huo Jinying and three others cooperated well. Except for the leader, all the others were killed without a trace of breath.

Mu Jinyu also changed his weapon to a silver crescent-shaped scimitar, which was a trophy he obtained after killing a general of the Yuelan Kingdom. He was very handy in using it.

A moment later, all the Japanese pirates in the courtyard were killed. Mu Jinyu followed Mu Lie out of the gate, eager to know who helped him at the critical moment.

Everything returned to calm, and there was no other sound around except the sound of the fire that had not yet been extinguished.

Outside the door, Xia Qin stood among the corpses of the Japanese pirates. Although he was wearing a black nightgown, under the flickering firelight, it was obvious that his body was soaked in blood.

The blood of the Japanese pirates was still dripping slowly on the dagger in her hand. She had no emotion at all and just stood there calmly, like a ruthless god of death.
