AN UNEXPECTED ATTACK

Xue's smile was intense and pure in that instant, that even the mountain top soldiers and the allied general smiled.

The image of that little girl smiling after the exhausting battle that she was, was a beacon that illuminated the darkness that surrounded them.

The allied general stopped smiling and walked away from the mountain from where he was overseeing the field.

"Little you did well"

Xue turned to see the general "Thank you sir".

Xue turned to put on a serious face without a trace of the smile she had shown.

"I owe you an apology"

"It's good that you understand, but I don't need an apology or your concern, general."

"I understand that you have a rebellious character, just answer me a question"

"Go ahead, what do you need?"

"Because you are so stubborn to be at the forefront of the battlefield."

"My parents died like my brother at the hands of soldiers or enemies"

Xue didn't wait to hear the general's reply, she simply led the horse and started forward without worrying about anything else.

"General, she was one of the few survivors of the first attack on Shu. Excuse her being like that, she is normally very sweet."

"Are you talking seriously about what happened to she?"

"That's right, that's why the subject is sensitive for her"

The soldiers and Generals remained in complete silence and began to walk until they found the river to attend to the wounded since the camp was there.

Xue had gone ahead, but the path was blocked, there were stones that were not there before. that didn't mean anything good.

Xue tried to direct the horse to turn around and go back to look for the others, but when he turned around, Sub General Yu was in front of her.

"The road is blocked, huh"

"this doesn't look good"

"Talk to me as normal "

"This is not the time for jokes, little prince, I think they are looking at us"

"It is better to hide that we feel them watching us and wait for the others to arrive, we do not know how many they are"

"I get it"

"So this is your first time riding a horse?"

"That's right, this horse is very cute and runs very fast"

"It is rare to hear that a general's horse is docile"

Xue shrugged and smiled, when about ten men in black suddenly came out from the side of the road.

Xue and Qing Yu immediately drew their sword as an involuntary reflex, the men rushed towards them, Xue stood on top of the horse and when they attacked he killed one by pushing one of the attackers' sword the other took out his sword. of what was already a corpse but Xue cut off his hand before he could achieve it.

The man let out a heartrending cry "You must die, damn it !!"

Xue, unmoved by the comment, killed the guy without premeditation, then she turned to see Qing Yu who was struggling with about 5 and things were getting complicated for him because they were attacking all at the same time. Xue got off the horse and slid between the legs of one of the masked men and cut off her legs making him fall.

The others froze to the act Xue got up and stood next to Qing Yu who was also under her horse, one of the masked men spoke "a girl, what are you going to do?"

Xue's eyes grew dim and she had a terrifying appearance despite only being a girl, she rushed against who talked a few seconds before, he received the impact with the iron plate of his suit, Xue attacked again but from the side, this turn backing away but this time the sword came to cut him slightly, Xue launched a kick to the jaw, he went back again but Xue counted on that and even being in the air, she turned throwing another kick, leaving him unconscious.

The others focused on their fight against Qing Yu did not feel that Xue was approaching and suddenly one stopped, looked down at his chest and saw the sword piercing him before it disappeared from the wound, the framed ones that had remained on the edge of the They entered the battle, Sub General Yu fought fiercely and when he felt the enemy give a step, he stopped slowing the impact and with one thrust he killed the enemies.

Once again they were surrounded by 4 men only this time, Xue and Qing Yu exchanged glances. Xue crouched cutting legs while Qing Yu cut off their heads in a precise and coordinated circular motion.

The hooves of the horses could be heard arriving, Xue got up and went to the masked man who had knocked out and opened his mouth, inserted a handkerchief and completely removed the cloth that covered his face and with it tied his hands.

The general arrived on the scene together with a group of soldiers.
