The royal entourage of Qi kingdom advanced through the forest path, escorted by a troop of twenty well-trained soldiers and palace maids.
"Major Jing, I think we have lost the way," a soldier who led the entourage reported to the man who rode beside the royal carriage with an alarmed expression,
Jing Junhai, the leader of the royal guard of Qi kingdom, glared at the soldier, who brought the bad news.
"I thought if we took the shortest route we will be able to reach the town before sunset." The soldier said with an apologetic face,
"What happened, Major Jing? " A melodious voice followed by a beautiful face appeared in the window of the carriage. Xue Lian, the princess of Qi kingdom looked at the general with a smile. "Did we lose the way?"
"I am afraid so, princess."
"What will we do now?" Her pale face filled with worry,
"We will look for some alternate path, princess. You don't have to worry."
