"They killed him sir, they killed Fen Ke for saving me and the prince, he's dead"
General Huo took her in her arms and she hid her face on her chest, there were no tears or even whimpers, only silence.
The prince was static, he couldn't believe what passed through his eyes "Xue ... Xue ... killed them"
"Now you understand why she was able to enter the palace with the generals, she threatened the other general with her sword"
"I can't believe it, I thought ... I thought it was just bragging, that she didn't fight. No ... I didn't think she could do this"
The prince vomited turning the face of the scene that was a field of the dead and rivers of blood that reflected the moon.
This collapsed after emptying his stomach, a soldier lifted it to the palequin while Xue raised the corpse to the top of the mountain where the ground was flat, dug a hole and placed it in it, covered it with dirt and on his armor. I carve his name, date of death, and nail it to the grave.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Fen Ke, I'm sorry"
She took her horse and at a brisk pace to catch up with the others she set off for the arrival in the capital.
It was night and everyone was resting Xue made his appearance in the camp, all the soldiers of the battle were covered with blood, covered with land and damaged clothes but the spirits were walking at the top, tomorrow they would arrive at the capital of Zhou, that It would mean that the war was nowhere near over.
At first hour in the morning the soldiers left for the capital.
It was noon, the capital city of Zhou could be seen rising far from the horizon, the glory seemed so close, everyone began to accelerate their pace, in less than two hours they reached the gates of the capital, the soldiers passed straight through the streets to the entrance to the palace.
Xue and the other three Generals present got off their horses, Xue approached the palequin and extended his hand to the prince who poked his head when the palaquin stopped, he took Xue's hand and then hugged her "I'm sorry it's my fault that they will kill your friend "
Xue separated from the hug but not from his arms "you don't have to apologize, it's part of the war, we all knew what could happen on this trip but we still wanted to go through it, don't carry a blame that you don't deserve"
