The Crown Princess Palace...

Two days passed quickly, and finally came the day that Princess Liu Yao had to go to the Chu Kingdom to attend King Qin Duan Ren's birthday party.

During these two days there had been no harm to Princess Liu Yao, and during these two days also the entire preparations to attend King Qin Duan Ren's birthday party had been resolved.

Qin Chen and Qiao Bao had worn one of the five types of clothes Princess Liu Yao had ordered from her subscription tailor.

As the day began to go by, the carriage of the Crown Princess carrying Princess Liu Yao and her four servants began to move away from the Crown Princess's palace.

In front of the Crown Princess' horse carriage, there was a guard line led directly by one of Princess Liu Yao's trusted generals.

As for Qin Chen and Qiao Bao, they stood guard on the right and left side of the horse carriage.

At the rear, there was a row of dozens of soldiers who for the past few days were specially trained by Qin Chen. Their existence was to guard a freight train that contained supplies, as well as gifts for King Qin Duan Ren.

As the Crown Princess' horse carriage passed through Nanjing City, the townspeople immediately gave way, and lowered their heads in honor of Princess Liu Yao's figure.

Seeing all that, Qin Chen felt the figure of Princess Liu Yao deserved the respect of what she had already fought for to prosper the inhabitants of Shu Kingdom. Even his services in the welfare of the Kingdom's population, far greater than what King Liu Feng did.

After leaving Nanjing City and its hustle, by late afternoon Princess Liu Yao's entourage began to enter the forest that became the boundary between Shu Kingdom and Chu Kingdom.

A few meters into the forest territory, Qin Chen and Qiao Bao both sensed the presence of a group of people who were constantly watching the journey of Princess Liu Yao's entourage, and their numbers are getting more and more along with the group that is getting deeper into the forest area.

Looking towards the back. Using an eye gesture, Qin Chen had ten soldiers in the rearguard, looking for the whereabouts of the group of people who kept an eye on Princess Liu Yao's entourage.

Shortly after the departure of the ten soldiers who received orders directly from Qin Chen. There was a cry of pain from the right and left side of the road through which Princess Liu Yao's entourage passed.

General Shang Hong who was leading the vanguard immediately stopped the entourage as soon as he heard the sound of agonizing screams coming closer and closer.

Qin Chen who saw General Shang Hong was puzzled by what had happened, just as soon as he approached the person, and explained what was going on.

Just as Qin Chen explained to General Shang Hong what exactly was going on, ten warriors who had orders from Qin Chen appeared from the crack of the forest, while dragging ten people who are already in a state of distress.

“Master, they are a herd of bandits in this forest, and the person whom I hold is their leader.” One of the soldiers handed over the bandit leader who had already lost one of his arms.

General Shang Hong frowned looking at the state of the bandits and their leader. He did not expect that the Crown Princess' palace had a group of warriors whose strength had even surpassed the strength of the Kingdom's elite warriors.

Realizing that all the soldiers he saw respected Qin Chen deeply, General Shang Hong grew curious about the mysterious bodyguard figure that Princess Liu Yao possessed.

“General, what should we do with them? Bringing them to the palace prison will only hinder our journey,” Qin Chen said.

General Shang Hong momentarily thought, then he remembered Zian City which was only fifty kilometers away from his current place.

“Mr Chen, not far from here is Zian City. We can imprison them there, and let the ruler of Zian City determine the punishment for them,” General Shang Hong said.

After deciding where the bandits were captured, Princess Liu Yao's entourage resumed the journey, but at night they planned to make camp in the forest, in the end Princess Liu Yao decided to stop by and spend the night in Zian City.

“Mr Chen, I've asked some soldiers to find the best inn in the city, and as long as I deliver the bandits to the prison of Zian City. I entrust the Crown Princess' entourage to Master,” General Shang Hong said.

Qin Chen nodded his head, accepting the responsibility General Shang Hong had entrusted to him.

After saying what he wanted to say to Qin Chen, General Shang Hong and his nine soldiers, they brought the bandit gangs to the Zian City prison.

Believed to be the temporary leader of Princess Liu Yao's entourage, Qin Chen did what he used to do most when he was a Great General of the Chu Kingdom.

He took Princess Liu Yao's entourage to go to the best inn in Zian City, which happened to be a lot of empty rooms tonight.

“Brother Bai, lead the five warriors to check the state of the inn! Once you have ensured security, then the Princess can enter the inn,” Qin Chen said to Qiao Bao, who just brought five soldiers to ensure the safety of the inn.

The other soldiers who were guarding around Princess Liu Yao's carriage, they increased their vigilance as long as Qiao Bao and the five warriors ensured the safety of the inn.

“Brother Chen, I've ensured security. The Princess and the others were already able to enter the inn,” Qiao Bao said as soon as he finished the examination.

“Mr Princess, we can already enter the inn,” Qin Chen said as his hand slowly knocked on the door of the horse carriage.

Slowly the door of the horse carriage opened, and the figure of Princess Liu Yao appeared.

Unasked, Qin Chen extended his hand, helping Princess Liu Yao out and down from the horse carriage.

With the strict guard from Qin Chen and the entire guard soldiers, Princess Liu Yao walked into the inn, and she headed straight for the best room she had prepared for her.

As soon as Princess Liu Yao and her four servants entered the room, Qin Chen ordered four soldiers to stand guard at the door of Princess Liu Yao's room, and every two hours they would take turns with the other soldiers.

“Mr Chen, somehow I feel more understanding what I should do when Mr. Chen leads the group. Under the leadership of the master, I feel as if I am being led by a Great General, instead of being led by a young General like General Shang Hong,”, said one of General Shang Hong's soldiers.

General Shang Hong's soldiers who did not join the General in delivering the bandits, they also felt the same way, while under Qin Chen's leadership.

“General Shang Hong has been very good at leading you. But he still needed a lot of experience to deal with the escort situation. After all General Shang Hong is more experienced in the battlefield than being a General who conducts escorts,” Qin Chen said not to defend and not demean the figure of General Shang Hong, who happened to be already in the inn, and listened to all their talk.

Instead of being angry when he was the subject of conversation, General Shang Hong was happy when there was a figure like Qin Chen who really understood his shortcomings.

“Princess Liu Yao did not wrongly choose a figure like Mr. Chen to be his personal bodyguard,” muttered General Shang Hong, then he walked over to Qin Chen who was directing what the soldiers should do.

“Master Chen turned out to be more experienced in dealing with situations like this,” said General Shang Hong who was already standing next to Qin Chen.

Qin Chen smiled hearing that, then he said, “I just did, what I've learned during being a bodyguard. However, before becoming Princess Liu Yao's bodyguard, I had already worked as a mercenary bodyguard, often escorting the nobles' journey.”.

“Then, it would be nice if on this trip, Mr. Chen was the main leader of the group,” said General Shang Hong, who has a desire to learn a lot from Qin Chen.

Seeing that no one objected to his appointment as the leader of the entourage, Qin Chen gladly accepted the position as the leader of the entourage....
