Chapter 6 — The day I returned, the entire General's Palace was afraid

Replacing them are toned muscles and sharp, cold eyes. They are no longer slaves who let others bully them. Which has become a group of true soldiers. I used the money I "extorted" from the General's palace to buy you the best armor and the sharpest weapons. Silver needles have been poisoned. Our small team gradually became an independent kingdom in the General's palace, a place where no one dared to casually approach. My two brothers came to see me several times. Big brother Lam Tu Van brought me many books, from 《Sun Tzu's Art of War》 to 《Lu Tao Tam Luu》. That brother said:

"Jing Nguyet, I know you don't like the things that ladies love. These books might interest you."

Second brother Lam Tu Vo brought me a new sword. That brother said:

"Your previous 'Black Kill' was too heavy, the murderous aura was too heavy, not suitable for a woman to use. This 'Sulphur' can cut iron like mud, it's both sharp and gentle, please try it."

What he didn't say was that this sword took him three months, going to all the forges in the capital, begging everywhere, and finally inviting a famous person who had retired to live in hiding, and personally made it according to my size and usage habits. I do not refuse. Didn't even say thank you. I just quietly accepted that item, then closed the hospital door. Friendship? For me, it is a luxury. Also too far away. I only believe in the sword in my hand. The peaceful days did not last too long. In the winter of that year, the Man tribe in the North suddenly tore up the agreement and dispatched a large army to march to the South. The border warns of danger. The flames of war once again flared up. My father, Lam Uy, as General Binh Nam, received orders from the Emperor in an emergency and was sent to the Northern border to fight against foreign invaders. Big Brother Lam Tu Van as a military advisor. Second brother Lam Tu Vo with pioneering status. The two also followed the army on the expedition. In just one night, only a group of women and children remained in such a large General's palace. The atmosphere in the palace immediately became extremely tense. Mrs. Ly burned incense all day long to worship Buddha, constantly praying for her father and son to return safely. Lam Thanh Tuyet also completely changed her previous appearance. Every day, she came before Ly to ask kindly, playing the role of a filial and understanding daughter. Still the only different person in the government. I speed up the training of the female guards. Intuition tells us that. Something bad is about to happen. Less than half a month. The capital was in chaos. First, the news that my father Lam Uy in the North was defeated, lost soldiers, lost generals, and unknown whereabouts was transmitted. Immediately after that, a large number of refugees began to appear in the capital. Commodity prices skyrocketed. People are confused and insecure. Then, on a dark, moonlit night, there was a strong wind. A group of men dressed in black with their faces covered, like ghosts in the dark, quietly crossed the wall and entered the General's palace. Their goal is very clear, it is the female relatives in the palace, and the gold silver and jewels in warehouse. They are secret agents from the enemy country, wanting to take advantage of the empty General's palace to capture us and use them as hostages to threaten my father. The guards in the palace, right from the first moment, were more than half eliminated. The remaining people are absolutely no match for these well-trained assassins. The shrill screams, the wailing, the sound of weapons colliding with each other, mixed into a chaos. The entire vast General's Palace turned into a hell on earth in the blink of an eye. When the first man in black kicked open the door of my courtyard, my female guards and I were already waiting in strict formation.

“Eldest Miss, a total of thirty-six people, all of them are experts.”

A That stood next to me, calmly reporting the situation. In her hand, she tightly grasped a short sword. There was not a trace of fear in her eyes, only the excitement of a predator when seeing its prey. I carried my "Black Kill" sword and slowly stood up.

"The old rules, maintain the hospital, don't leave a single person alive."

Fifteen female guards responded in unison.
