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

Mu Lie looked at his daughter deeply for a long time.

He didn't understand why Mu Jinqi agreed to enter the palace so firmly.

"Well, once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea. Qi'er, remember to be careful with your words and actions in the palace. Go ahead." Mu Lie helplessly admonished his second daughter.

"Then my daughter has left." After bowing, Mu Jinqi slowly walked out of the room.

"Yu'er, get ready. Go with your father tomorrow. We will go to Yancheng first and then to Mobei."

"Yes, father!" Mu Jinyu replied.

"Father, I want to go with you too!" Xia Qin suddenly said when Mu Lie was about to tell her something.

Although Xia Qin showed strong fighting ability in the old house, the real battlefield is extremely cruel after all, and Mu Lie is hesitant.

Mu Jinyu took a look and saw her determined look, and said, "Father, since Xiaoyan wants to go, let her go with you. Then we will place her in Yancheng. With Xiaoyu and Huo Jinying by her side, there is nothing to worry about. I'm afraid she won't be in a good mood at home."

After hearing what Mu Jinyu said, Mu Lie thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, in the fifth year of Yongjia, on the tenth day of the tenth month, it was the day when the God of Heavenly Prison came. The Ox-Shared North was in conflict, so it was suitable to cut wood and pray for blessings, but nothing else should be done.

General Mu Lie was ordered to lead the Yancheng Army to the northern border to resist the Huns in the north and relieve the siege of General Zhenbei Dongfang Yi.

The Yancheng Army, as the name suggests, is the garrison in Yancheng.

It was stationed in Yancheng, an important military town 300 miles north of the capital.

The emperor specially arranged thirty guards to escort Mu Lie to Yancheng. Together with the guards from the Mu Mansion, a group of about fifty people marched quickly northward.

Xia Qin and Xiaoyu were riding in the same carriage. After traveling nearly a hundred miles, Xiaoyu, who had nothing to say, asked about gossip: "Sister, I remember Brother Mu said that the general he rescued this time was once engaged to you, but he took the initiative to break off the engagement?"

Xia Qin had heard the maids talking about it in the mansion before, and Mu Jinyu also mentioned it later in Pengzhou City. When she heard Xiaoyu mention it this time, she felt the same way. Although she had never seen the person, she still felt a little unhappy.

Seeing that Xia Qin didn't respond, Xiaoyu continued, "If it were up to me, we should just go fight the Xiongnu and not save him. Or we should wait until he's beaten half to death before saving him. He will be so ashamed when he sees his sister!"

Xia Qin smiled. She sincerely felt that Xiaoyu’s second suggestion was indeed a good one. If she really did that, she would feel very happy.

"Humph, what a blind fellow! If I were his sister, I would beat him up and tell him that he! Doesn't! Deserve!"

Xia Qinyan replied speechlessly this time: "Xiaoyu, it's not that exaggerated. I haven't even met this person. Besides, marriage is so boring. You haven't even met each other, but you are bound together for life."

Hearing Xia Qin's attitude, Xiaoyu couldn't help but hold his chin with both hands, thought seriously for a while and said: "Is that so, then..."

At this moment, a faint "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the air. It was the sound of arrowheads!

Xia Qin reacted very quickly and immediately pulled Xiaoyu to lie under the car.

"Ding ding ding!" At least ten arrows fell on their carriage.

There was a panic outside, and the leader of the Royal Guards shouted, "There are robbers! Form a defensive formation! Protect General Mu!"

At this time, the sound of arrows outside stopped, and then there was the sound of a large number of troops approaching.

"Miss, come out quickly, there are robbers!" Huo Jinying opened the carriage door and quickly helped Mu Jinyan and Xiaoyu get off the carriage.

Xia Qin quickly looked around.

Their three carriages were parked on the north-south official road, with dozens of masked robbers blocking their way in front and behind. On the west side of the official road was a wide river, and on the east side was a pine forest.

"Jinying, protect Xiaoyan into the woods!" Mu Jinyu shouted, and he and several guards protected Mu Lie as they retreated into the woods.

After hearing this, Xia Qin immediately retreated into the woods with Xiaoyu. The other side had many archers, and hiding in the woods was their only choice now.

The pine forest seemed to have no end, and the robbers had no choice but to follow closely and chase in.

Mu Lie looked at the enemy and asked solemnly, "Yu'er, how many of us are left?"

"Including those who were slightly injured and still able to move, there are still more than 30 people."

Mu Lie's heart sank. One third of his men had already been killed before the fight even started. Whether to fight or flee became a problem now.

Mu Jinyu looked at the arrow he had just picked up. There was a word "Xun" engraved on it. It seemed that the robber was not an ordinary robber, but he did not say it. He just observed everyone.

Xia Qin was also observing the remaining people. There were still six guards left in the Mu Mansion. Huo Jinying and his four companions were elite soldiers who had survived the battlefield many times. In this situation, no one was injured.

There were nearly twenty guards left. Caught off guard, most of them managed to survive the rain of arrows, which was considered a quick reaction.

At this time, five or six robbers rushed in first. Mu Jinyu and the leader of the imperial guards, who were hiding behind a tree, commanded and cooperated with each other and easily strangled them.

It looks like it's just a tentative attack.

The leader of the imperial guards shouted, "This is General Mu's guard. If you want to rob him, you've got the wrong target. Killing a second-rank official of the imperial court is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his clan!"

The robbers obviously ignored his words and made corresponding arrangements: "Surround them first, don't let them escape, don't leave any alive!"

Xia Qin listened carefully to their footsteps. There were at least a hundred of them, and they were well-trained. They were definitely not just bandits who blocked roads to rob people. She couldn't help but sigh that her fate after traveling through time was really unfortunate...

She quickly analyzed the current distance and situation, and whispered to Huo Jinying and Xiaoyu beside her: "Follow me!"

Huo Jinying nodded, and several people followed Xia Qin and left the main group. When Mu Jinyu saw their actions, she thought that Huo Jinying was taking them away and did not say anything.

After running about 150 steps into the depths of the woods, Xia Qin stopped and whispered, "It's right here! Hide and wait, don't make any noise!"

Xia Qin naturally didn't intend to abandon her father and brother and run away, but as someone who had commanded special operations many times before traveling through time, she understood that if she was surrounded on all sides in the forest, she would completely lose all space and become a lamb to be slaughtered.

She must break out of the encirclement and support each other with her father and brother. Although there are only six people on her side, she is enough!

"Old Huo, you all have daggers, right?" Xia Qin asked in a low voice.

"Reply Miss, I have brought them all."

Ever since they started learning martial arts with Xia Qin, they have all gotten used to carrying a short sword in addition to their original ring-handled swords. Now in this dense forest, the short sword is obviously much easier to use than those long weapons.

"I will be the main force in a while, you and Ah Qi will cover my left side, Yan Wu and Yan Wen will cover my right side, do you understand?" Xia Qin's tone seemed to have returned to the time when she was commanding the operation before the time travel.

"Understood!" Huo Jinying and the other three, who had been in the army for many years, of course understood Xia Qin's intention. This arrangement could prevent Xia Qin from being attacked from both sides, allowing him to concentrate on fighting.

The first time they fought side by side with Xia Qin at the Mu family's ancestral home in Pengzhou, they witnessed Xia Qin's abilities. Although the enemy they are facing now is stronger, they are also full of confidence.

"Xiaoyu, just lie down here and observe carefully. If there is any unusual movement outside, give a loud warning."

"Don't worry, sister!"

Xia Qin made a simple calculation and found that the diameter of the enemy's encirclement was about 100 steps, and the circumference of the encirclement was about 300 meters. On average, there was one person every three meters. So she would only have to face ten enemies within 30 meters.

It was pretty much as she expected. Although the enemy had a large number of people, they were so dispersed that she would not have to face too many enemies at the same time.

Now, the nearest robbers were about twenty or thirty steps away from their hiding place.

After confirming that Mu Lie and the others had not escaped, the robbers certainly did not expect that Xia Qin had already ambushed them with a few people.

After the siege was completed, the leader of the robbers shouted, "Okay, let's make a quick decision. There is a government road next to us, so we can't waste time! Don't leave anyone alive! Kill!"

As the word "kill" fell to the ground, the robbers began to act. Xia Qin also suddenly jumped up and rushed straight towards the nearest robber. The robber who heard the noise just turned his head and found a straight red line on his neck already cut by the dagger.

"Be careful! There are people in the woods!" A nearby robber spotted Xia Qin and immediately shouted to alert others.
