Special Forces Empress, has arrived!

  "Ah, ah, ah," Yun Xiang exclaimed in succession three times. She had personally witnessed two Imperial Guards fall to the ground. After they fell, she walked a few steps to their side and squatted down, looking at their faces. "Could it be that they're dead?"

  Tang Lin walked over, pulled out the needles from the two Imperial Guards' bodies, and put them back into the special chemical weapon holster at his waist. Then he replied to Yun Xiang's question: "I just used a chemical agent to paralyze their bodies, they won't die. Once the effect wears off, they will naturally wake up!"

  Dong Chen furrowed his brow, "What chemical drug?"

  Tang Lin said: "To put it in your local terms, it's no different from an aphrodisiac, but the effect of chemical drugs is better and can take effect instantly!"

  "Then this..." Dong Chen pointed at the small pistol in Tang Lin's hand and curiously asked: "Can this thing also shoot hidden weapons?"

  Tang Lin smiled and said, "Of course!" After finishing speaking, she measured the builds of the two Imperial Guards, one fat and one sturdy, just right. She ordered Mei Chun'er and Yun Xiang, "Chun'er, Yun Xiang, you two take off the helmets and armor of these two Imperial Guards, then put them on yourselves!"

  Du Yuanyuan's eyebrows were cold and she said: "Tang Lin, what do you mean by this?"

  Tang Lin revealed an unfathomable smile, "You'll know soon enough!"

  Next, Mei Chun'er and Yun Xiang each took off the uniforms and hats of the two Imperial Guards, then they put them on themselves. After dressing up, Tang Lin nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad, just right size. You two listen, from now on, you are Imperial Guards. You go ahead first to the palace gate to guard, must not let other Imperial Guards discover that you are impersonating, try to press your hats down a bit, don't let other Imperial Guards see your real faces!" After finishing speaking, her gaze turned to Yu Xiang's face and instructed: "Yu Xiang, trouble you again to run another errand, go and put on another show, lure a few more Imperial Guards over here!"

  "En, I understand!"

  Then, after Meichun and Yushang had walked for a while, Yu Xiang finally came out.

  ——

  The gate of the palace.

  Mei Chun'er and Yun Xiang each lowered their hats, then walked over with their heads down, grasping the hilts of their waist knives in a pretentious manner. They stood guard on either side of the gate, casting a sidelong glance at the Imperial Guards beside them. Seeing that they were standing steadily without moving, Mei Chun'er and Yun Xiang felt relieved, no longer worried about being exposed.

  In a moment, Yu Xiang hurriedly ran over, shouting in great pain, "Someone come! Something's wrong, something big is wrong!" Just as she was about to reach the door, she deliberately tripped herself and fell to the ground.

  Including Mei Chun'er and Yun Xiang, all the Imperial Guards woke up and quickly walked towards Yu Xin.

  In the blink of an eye, Yu Xiang was surrounded by a group of Imperial Guards. Meanwhile, Mei Chun'er and Yun Shan quietly slipped out of the encirclement and stood at the door, not needing to intervene.

  One of the Imperial Guardsmen helped Yu Xiang up and hastily asked: "What happened?"

  "Our Lan Garden...!" Yu Xiang's expression was terrified and extremely painful, she pointed to the door of Lan Garden, choking out a voice, "They... they are fighting in the room, so scary, so scary ah, all see blood!"

  "What?" A member of the Imperial Guard was shocked.

  Another imperial guard hastily said: "The superior has instructed, we must treat these contestants well and cannot let them get into trouble, they are all talented people. You few follow me to mediate, the rest of you stay at the door and keep watch!"

  Under Yu Xiang's lead, she successfully fooled five or six Imperial Guards into entering the Orchid Garden.

  Arriving at the courtyard, she only saw people practicing sword fighting as usual, without anyone engaging in a fierce battle. A guard coldly asked Yu Xiang: "Didn't you say there was a fight here? Where is that person?"

  Tang Lin in the next room understood, and unexpectedly pushed Du Yuanyuan hard, with a violent temper saying: "Good, you surname Dong, I think you won't be honest until you see some blood, watch how I'll teach you,"

  Dong Chenchen had no idea what kind of play Tang Lin was putting on, and just as she thought Tang Lin was intentionally pushing her, Yu Jiao caught sight of the group of Imperial Guards looking in from outside the door. Suddenly, she understood why Tang Lin had pushed her. In order to successfully lure the Imperial Guards inside, she also pretended to push Tang Lin, provokingly saying: "Come on, if you have the ability, come on! Let's see who teaches whom a lesson, me Dong Chenchen or you!"

  "Halt!" A halberdier rushed in quickly, followed by other halberdiers who came in one after another.

  Tang Lin and Dong Chen exchanged a triumphant glance with each other before turning their attention to the several Imperial Guards.

  A pale-faced Imperial Guard walked up to Tang Lin and coldly asked, "Who gave you the guts to fight each other?" Meanwhile, the Imperial Guards behind him were all knocked out by Du Yuanyuan and He Shiyao, who then slowly laid them on the ground.

  It was the turn of the Imperial Guard who was teaching Tang Lin a lesson, Dong Chen's eyes narrowed dangerously, but she was glared at by the Imperial Guard, "What are you smiling at?"

  Dong Chen's face turned gloomy as soon as she heard, and she was about to punch the Imperial Guard angrily. However, before she could do so, the Imperial Guard suddenly fainted in front of her, and then Du Yuanyuan appeared before her eyes.

  Du Yuan was still making a gesture of pointing at the acupoint, and only after the Imperial Guard fell down did he withdraw his hand.

  Yu Xiang rushed in from outside.

  Tang Lin nodded in satisfaction at the number of Imperial Guards: "Exactly five people, one person for each role!"

  Then everyone quickly took off the clothes on the body of the Imperial Forest Army and put them on one after another.

  Tang Lin did not expect that the first set of ancient clothes she wore after coming to ancient times would be the uniform of the Imperial Forest Army. After putting on the ancient Imperial Forest Army uniform, due to her slender and elegant figure, it made her look exactly like a young and majestic lieutenant general.

  After putting on the clothes, Tang Lin touched her waist and found a nameplate hanging from it. She thought that this nameplate should be used for issuing orders, at least to make those people at the door listen obediently.

  After everything was ready, Tang Lin led everyone out of the room, locked the door, and then took the key with her before leaving together.

  Before long, they arrived at the palace gate where they met with Mei Chun'er and Yun Xiang.

  There were still over a dozen Imperial Guards left, and in order to pass through smoothly, Tang Lin took off his waist card and walked up to the several Imperial Guards, then held it up again for them to take a good look. "You few listen to my orders, strictly guard the palace, do not allow anyone to come out, we have important matters to attend to, this place is now left to you to be in charge of, if someone tries to force their way in, the higher-ups have ordered, kill them without hesitation!"

  "Yes!" The remaining Imperial Guards responded in unison.

  Tang Lin gave Dong Chen and the others a flirtatious glance, then gestured for them to follow her.

  Next, Tang Lin followed the route she had memorized on her way here and walked back. Because they were wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Forest Army, many patrolling Imperial Forest Army soldiers did not notice that all seven of them were actually contestants.

  "Dong Chen walked and said: "Sisters, I inquired before entering the palace. Every time there is a selection of imperial guards, the emperor will come to watch in person. If we can see the emperor this time, even if we are discovered and expelled from the palace when we return, it's worth it, don't you think?"

  Mei Chun'er nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, being able to see the Emperor is a truly great thing! I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

  Du Yuanyuan gave them a cold glance and threw out a few words, "You're worthless!"

  "Are you from the Du family? Don't you want to surrender?" Dong Chenchen couldn't stand Du Yuanyuan's attitude, she stopped in her tracks, put her hands on her hips and confronted Du Yuanyuan again.

  "Don't be like this!" Mei Chun'er pulled Dong Chen back. Let me go down.

  Tang Lin, walking ahead, didn't hear the footsteps and turned back to see Dong Chenchen and Du Yuanyuan arguing again. She was a bit speechless and quickly walked over to stand between them, saying: "Don't want to watch the first round of competition? Those who don't want to go can turn around and head back to Lan Garden, don't follow!"

  Dong Chenchen and Du Yuanyuan were left speechless.

  "Really, no team spirit at all!" After finishing speaking, Tang Lin turned around in anger and walked away.

  Others followed suit one after another.

  Soon Tang Lin and others passed by the arena and headed towards the South Palace Gate Plaza.

  ——

  NanGongMen Square

  Tens of thousands of people gathered in the central square, surrounded by batches of Imperial Guards, layer upon layer.

  As soon as one steps onto the high stone stairs of the square, it is a must-pass road to enter the South Gate Palace. At this moment, on the large open space outside the palace, there are dozens of military generals standing in a row, wearing battle robes, and the empty space left in the middle can accommodate several dozen people, which is the exclusive place for the emperor. This is where the Holy Emperor issues orders.

  Tang Lin and others stopped in their tracks when they arrived at the Nan Gong Men Square, and they were a bit stunned by the vast crowd before them.

  "Be careful, don't expose yourself!" After finishing speaking, Tang Lin walked forward, trying to get close to the stone steps leading up to the treasure hall, in order to observe the situation at a close distance.

  Soon, Tang Lin stood on the edge of the stone steps in the middle. From this angle, she could see clearly both the emperor and the military officers standing above, as well as the tens of thousands of faces below in the square.

  After Tang Lin stood firm, she didn't care how Dong Chen and the others were standing. Her gaze began to sweep over the vast crowd below, trying to find Cao Dan's figure among them, to see how he was doing now, and whether he had retreated.

  Because there were many Imperial Guards around, Cao Dan didn't notice that Tang Lin was among them. He crouched in the front of the crowd and happened to be blocked from Tang Lin's line of sight by someone's side profile, so she didn't see him.

  Just then, a loud voice came from behind the corridor on the left side of the Nanmen Palace, "The Emperor has arrived!"

  As soon as she heard that the Emperor had arrived, Mei Chun'er was so excited that she turned around and looked up at the twenty-odd stone steps.

  But as soon as they heard that the Emperor was coming, not everyone's mood was as excited as Mei Chun'er's. Especially Du Yuanyuan, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

  Soon, under the escort of a group of high-ranking imperial guards and An Lin, the dragon-robed Emperor, with an imposing presence, stepped out from behind the military officers, one step at a time, until he stood firmly in a high place, looking down at the tens of thousands of faces below!

  Tang Lin had heard Feng Die say that the emperor of Yu Xin Imperial Court was not an old emperor, but a man in his early twenties or thirties. She was somewhat curious about the true appearance of this emperor, so she also turned her head and looked up...
