章節 302: In Hanjian

Li Xueyue knew this was a losing fight. At most, there were only twenty well-trained soldiers who accompanied them. 

No one had expected that they would be attacked on this route since they stayed off the main paths where robberies were more common. 

She glanced around with uncertainty. Everywhere she looked, there were bandits upon bandits.

"Get on your horse, my lady," one of the soldiers stated as the soldiers began to take slow steps backward. They entered a protective stance and surrounded the middle carriage.

The soldiers were mindful of keeping her title hidden. If the bandits were to discover she was a Princess, then all hell would break loose in the form of kidnapping.

"What a beautiful woman you have there," one of the burlier men commented. "Oh ho, look at that frigid glare. Women like that scream the loudest in bed."

Crude laughter erupted amongst the bandits. The mocking sound echoed throughout the forest.
