The Commander is currently staying on an old Japanese mansion for this night and tomorrow morning he'll back to the imperial palace.

Han Wu decided that they need to reach the house before early morning. Together the three of them storm to the mansion and in just a heck of time they reach their target destination. Han Wu was the one who jump fromthe back of the Lion. ” Wait for me here. I'll be back for a while” Bai Shin Lin nodded and waited for him near the bushes away from the rummaging soldiers. She was eagerly waiting for his return but it went for a long hours. She felt uneasy and decided to sneak inside. That was when she saw Han Wu returning. His shoulder a little down. She dash off unto him with a speed of light.

” What happened?” When she saw him feeling depressed she can't help but doubt. ” I think we need to wait a little while, I have already discussed my situation to his attendant and It'll be delivered to the Commander” what?So they needed again to wait for another hour? But she already waited for who knows how long and she can't afford to waste any more time! That's when she make her own decision. Pulling her hood up to her head she ask which direction is their Commander. Han Wu pointed the direction towards the north and when he does she head straight to it. Even though a lot of people were suspicious of her at first but when they see her with him their gazes changes to much more gentler.

Meanwhile, a servant was aiming to get inside to serve the commander's dinner and that's how she saw an opportunity. She block her way and pick the tray of food. The servant was shock at first but when she pinpoints her finger towards the general , the servant handed to it to her without a hurdle.

When she enters, she didn't lift her face up but in the corner of her eyes she can see a man who's overly focused on a mountain of papers infront of him. He didn't even budge or see who had enter his room.

Sweet! It'll be a peace of cake.

Upon putting the food on his desk as if as swift as the norther wind she lifted her skirt pulling her dagger outside then jump off to the person nearing her while pinning the point of the dagger to his neck.

Xiao, didn't even felt shock for a moment. How bold this intruder be.? She was in his own territory committing a grievous crime punishable by death. ”Move or I'll slit your throat.” She tried to make her voice low just to sound a real villain.

Xiao stood up and went away to his desk. Bai Shin Lin feeling victorious and gleeful that this commander is following her she let her guard down. Xiao was about to give this intruder an overhead throw martial arts when General Han Wu barge into his room and when he saw the situation he was horrified that all the blood on his body felt like leaving. His eyes grew wide from the humiliation. ”What are you doing?”He was talking to this intruder.

A little earlier he was side track when his subordinate talk and lost sight of her. Next thing he knew she saw her entering his commander's room. With a long stride, he immediately followed her.

He bow down grooving to the ground while finding forgiveness.

Xiao stoodstill. The person who has caughthis neck decided to pulled back her dagger and look away pouting. ” If I didn't do it who knows how long will it take to wait. By that time those children might not be safe anymore” this time this person's true voice got out.As if a sharp pinch felt into his heart. Since when did this he last hear this voice? It sends a thousand emotions and feelings for that short moment he hears that voice. Han Wu upon seeing the unpleasant look on his Commander's face cower in forgiveness to him bringing the person who made his Commander angry behind him. Who knows what he would do to her knowing her disrespectful act unto him.

”Commander please forgive me, this person didn't know what was she doing. We were only driven by that situation that we can't afford to loose anymore time. We need to meet you as soon as possible.

Xiao, was having a mix feeling that he wasn't able to absorb what was he saying.

While Han Wu was frantically explaining while defending her and pulling to his behind. Bai Shin Lin taught that Han Wu was a typical gentleman man one could encounter.He even defend her this time.

She knows that this Commander of hers is not to be meddle with and Han Wu is staking his life over the line defending her.

”Han Wu...” He was stern

”Commander...”

Shit. Will the commander execute them now?

Bai Shin Lin was also groveling to the ground like his general did and she was a little worried of his wound might be reopening again.

”Do you know the person whom you are trying to find?” His voice was icy cold.

”Yes sir! I already received the portrait which has her face drawn. Pulling the rolled paper from his clothes he unrolled it in front of him. ” She's a beauty, no doubt about it. It seems her significant mark was a big mole below her nose”

Xiao massage the temple of his forehead.

Did he do something wrong? Han Wu can't get the gist why his Commander is asking these questions now. Xiao pulledthe portrait away from him and scrap the black mark below the nose of the face then return to him.”shit!” He can't help but curse. Who's the idiot who put a black dirt onto this portrait. His Commander was even mad now.

Feeling a little curious, Bai Shin Lin whose been onthe ground stood up to see the portrait. Why does this portrait seems familiar? She seems to see this somewhere in the capital.

”Please forgive me milord! It wasn't intentional.this was ....”

He was interrupted. ” I should suppose to punish you for your stupidity but I applaud you for a job well done now then you can go out now”

What!

”But Commander I have something to discuss important to...”

”Didn't you hear me!”

His shoulders went down.

It's over.

He look at the girl beside him.

They both turn to get out. Han Wu hold her hands leading them to get out. However, she didn't even make a full step when a strong hands pulled her from behind causing her hands to let go from Han Wu's grasp. ”Kyakhhhhhh” she squinted from a sudden act. Han Wu was also stunned by his commanders sudden move. When he saw him, he was already carrying her.

”Commander, its my fault. Please do not be hard to the lady” he was asking sincerely. This girl's action a while ago was punishable by death that his afraid he might execute her.

However, it's as if he's general is not listening at all, he even raise the girl up and pulled her in into his strong embrace.

Bai Shin Lin was caught offguard. But when she take a look at the person who shockingly pulled her. A familiar face occur to her .

”Prince Xiao!” She called him.

Han Wu look at her. Then a sudden realization came unto him and started to look at the portrait he was holding. Now that there's no mole on the face, the resemblance was great. As in super great. It was seconded even when she called him with his name.

He really is stupid for not realizing it earlier.The signs were fully laid but he wasn't able to see.
