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

However, with more than a hundred robbers dispersed in a circle with a radius of nearly a hundred meters, it was obviously too late and impossible for them to rearrange their encirclement and kill Xia Qin.

For Xia Qin, although there is no cover of night, this dim forest is also an excellent hunting environment.

Even if there were a few smarter robbers who wanted to go around Xia Qin to launch a sneak attack, there were still Huo Jinying and others to deal with them.

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu, who had heard the noise, did not move. They remained where they were, waiting.

Xia Qin knew what her father and brother were waiting for. Time was precious, so after dealing with the five or six robbers in front of her, she immediately continued to charge along the encirclement.

She seemed to have turned into a streak of light yellow lightning, constantly shuttling among the giant trees and fallen leaves. Wherever she went, there would be red blood mist to set off her dragon-like figure.

This stunned Huo Jinying and his companions, and also made the robbers panic. No one could remain calm seeing such a horrifying scene in broad daylight.

Different from the last sneak attack on the Japanese pirates in the dark night, Xia Qin was now slaughtering this group of "robbers" in a head-on combat.

Of course, after nearly three months of rest and training, Xia Qin's physical condition and martial arts are much stronger than they were then.

Facing Xia Qin in front of them, the robbers with scattered formations were far inferior in speed, strength and skills, and were completely unable to resist.

One of the robbers exclaimed loudly, "Boss, there's a martial arts master over here! He's totally unstoppable!"

The leader of the robbers was surprised because the intelligence did not say that there was any martial arts master among Mu Lie and his group.

But now he was in a dilemma and had no way out. He roared, "Brothers on the north and west sides, continue to encircle and suppress the people inside. The rest of you, follow me to the southeast and deal with this trouble first!"

The time has come!

After confirming that the robbers from the east and south had already gone to encircle Xia Qin, Mu Lie said to everyone around him without hesitation: "Go west with all your strength and get back to the official road!"

The robbers, numbering only twenty or so in the west, lost their composure in an instant when faced with the sudden breakout of nearly thirty people led by Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu, and turned from encirclement to escape.

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu successfully returned to the official road, using the carriage as a cover, waiting for the robbers inside to come out. The robbers chasing them were also in a dilemma.

Now, whether to choose to pursue Mu Lie who is already prepared, or to return to help his companions in the forest, it seems very passive.

After escaping the encirclement, Mu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mu Lie, "Father, you take ten people and wait here. I will go in and rescue Xiaoyan!"

Mu Lie shook his head: "Yu'er, whether it's Yan'er or you, your father can't leave any regrets. Now we will rush in together unexpectedly. The robbers will definitely be unable to resist. Don't worry about your father."

If one does not consider one's own safety but only considers winning or losing, Mu Lie's suggestion is indeed the best. Mu Jinyu hesitated for only a moment before agreeing to his father's suggestion.

The father and son suddenly rushed into the dense forest with more than 30 people, and while the robbers were still hesitating, they unexpectedly launched a counterattack.

Although these robbers might be the patrol battalion in disguise, now that half of them have gone to surround Xia Qin, they have no numerical advantage and are facing elite troops like the Imperial Guards. In addition, there are also masters like Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu, and they are clearly at a disadvantage.

After dealing with these people, Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu did not relax or stop, but rushed towards Xia Qin.

At this time, Xia Qin and his companions had switched from offense to defense, relying on several huge pine trees and entering defensive mode.

Although the plan was disrupted by Xia Qin's unexpected attack, the other party was not a refugee or a pirate, and they would not be stupid enough to continue to come one by one to die.

The remaining forty-odd robbers were already attacking in a tight formation under the command of their leader.

They used a combination of long and short weapons, and archers were waiting for an opportunity to attack. Xia Qin and his companions could only retreat with their backs against a giant tree, and were about to return to where Xiaoyu was.

Xia Qin looked at the injured people and asked quietly, "Are you all okay?"

Huo Jinying shook her head and replied nonchalantly: "Miss, it's okay. We've checked it out and it's not fatal. But what should we do now?"

Xia Qin shrugged calmly: "Don't worry, it will be fine soon."

"Ah?" Huo Jinying didn't understand what she meant.

But she soon understood.

Hearing the shouts and cries getting closer and closer in the distance, Xia Qin smiled with relief and ease.

At this moment, your father and brother are your teammates.

The only difference from previous teammates is that my father and brothers will never abandon me at any time.

She leaned against the tree and gently closed her eyes, the mottled sunlight falling on her body through the leaves.

Although the danger was not over, she had not felt this kind of calm and secure feeling on the battlefield for a long time.

When the sounds of fighting and weapons clashing were heard behind him, Xia Qin opened his eyes and murderous intent suddenly rose in his heart.

She shouted to Huo Jinying and the others, "Charge out! This time we will surround them!"

As he spoke, Xia Qin led the four of them into the enemy camp again, attacking from both sides together with his father and brother, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe.

Half an incense stick later, peace returned to the forest. Most of the robbers were killed, leaving a few alive, who were ready to be handed over to the Royal Guards to investigate the person behind the scenes.

Mu Lie came to Xia Qin and saw that she also had several scratches on her body, so he smoothed her hair.

Looking at his eighteen-year-old daughter, he said with great distress: "Yan'er, I know you have learned some martial arts, but don't be so aggressive every time, it's too dangerous."

"Dad, it's okay, I have..."

At this moment, the sound of an arrowhead was heard from behind Xia Qin. Mu Lie pulled Xia Qin over and protected her behind him.

"Ugh!" The arrow pierced Mu Lie's shoulder solidly. Even though Mu Lie was a veteran of many battles, he fell down with a groan in pain, barely half-kneeling on the ground to support his body.

"Father!" When Mu Jinyu saw this scene, he immediately found the archer who had escaped the net dozens of steps away. He threw the scimitar in his hand with all his strength and killed the man directly. He also ran to Mu Lie's side.

Xia Qin squatted down and looked at her father, and hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Yu, hurry up, get the medicine box!"

Mu Lie forced a smile and said comfortingly: "It's okay. Father has fought on the battlefield all his life, fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and suffered many minor injuries like this."

Having said that, Mu Lie's face was pale at the moment, beads of sweat the size of beans had appeared on his forehead, blood was dripping down the bow and arrow, and Xia Qin felt infinite self-blame in his heart.

Looking at his father's wounds and pale face, Xia Qin's head suddenly felt a stabbing pain, and a memory that had been blocked in his mind for a long time burst out after the pain.

After a moment, tears were already streaming down my cheeks.

She murmured to herself: "Mother... Mother... I'm sorry..."

The pain that Mu Lie suppressed on his pale face was instantly overwhelmed by his worry for Xia Qin: "Yan'er, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Daddy."

Mu Jinyan's "body" cried out instinctively, and when she looked up, her face was already covered in tears.

"Daddy, I remember now. I remember everything that happened in the past. I was too naughty that time, jumping around on the stone steps on the mountain. I didn't listen to mom's advice, and ended up slipping and falling. It was mom who hugged me, and we kept rolling on the stone steps for a long time. Mom's face was covered in blood. It was me who was disobedient and killed her! It's my fault, Daddy, wuwuwu..."

However, she doesn’t know now that it wasn’t an accident.
