Young lady, you're no ordinary person!

  Tang Lin picked up her backpack and walked towards the inn across the street. The street was very wide, at this time, a fast horse came galloping from the front, the person on the horse shouted at the crowd blocking the road, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The horse is out of control!"

  The crowd dispersed in all directions, but a three-year-old boy stood in the middle of the road, crying loudly, "Mother! Mother! Where are you, mother?"

  Hearing the little boy's cry, Tang Lin turned sideways to look over, and the little boy was about to be trampled by the fierce horse's hooves.

  Tang Lin's eyes sank, and she became extremely calm. Just before the horse was about to trample the little boy, she quickly pulled out a pistol from her waist holster, then lifted up her T-shirt with one hand, revealing a row of syringes attached to her belt underneath. She took one out, loaded it into the pistol, changed her stance, and aimed the gun at the horse's neck. Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down, pulled the trigger, and the syringe was fired from her pistol.

  At the critical moment, the fierce horse was stabbed with a needle and suddenly went limp in all four legs, paralyzed on the ground in front of the little boy, never to run again.

  The horse's owner had already jumped to safety at the side of the road when the fierce horse fell over.

  The little boy's mother rushed out and picked up her son and left.

  Tang Lin walked over, took a look at the horse with limp limbs, and directly removed the syringe from the horse's neck, putting it back in its original place. She then put the pistol back into her waist holster and turned to leave when the horse's owner rushed up and blocked her way. This man in his forties made her cold eyebrows furrow immediately, "What do you want?"

  Zhang Xiangyang looked at the already deflated fierce horse, then turned to Tang Lin, his face filled with uncontrollable joy. Unexpectedly, coming out for just a short while and encountering an expert, who was also a tall and slender girl in her early twenties with a beggar-like face. "Miss, may I ask how you managed to tame my fierce horse?"

  "This...” Tang Lin curved into an enchanting smile, but just as Zhang Xiangyang was eager to know the answer, her face suddenly turned cold. "Nothing to report!" She turned to leave, but Zhang Xiangyang continued to block her way, so she glared at him impatiently, "What do you want?"

  "Miss, don't be angry!" Zhang Xiangyang said, taking out an invitation card from his bosom and handing it to Tang Lin. The red-covered invitation card read: "Those who participate in the Imperial Guard selection must have this card to enter the palace and participate in the selection. Miss, you are not an ordinary person, so I invite you to attend the Imperial Guard selection competition!"

  Originally, Tang Lin wanted to refuse immediately, but as soon as she heard it was within the imperial palace, she reconsidered. "You mean, with this letter, I can enter the imperial palace?" The root of Yunshan is the imperial palace, and where she disappeared in modern times is at the foot of Yunshan. If she enters the palace to take a look, perhaps she can find the time tunnel back.

  Zhang Xiangyang nodded, "Right, miss. With this, you can enter the imperial palace and participate in the selection of the inner guards. I won't disturb you anymore, we'll meet at the palace!"

  Tang Lin wondered, "When will the selection begin?"

  "Next month, on the first day, at the Imperial Palace Inner Guard Training Base. With this letter, someone will guide you to find the Inner Guard Training Base!" - Zhang Xiangyang gave out the correct date.

  "Oh, I see," Tang Lin replied indifferently, clearly not very interested in the selection contest. "I'll go if I have to, let's just wait and see!"

  "That's it, I'll take my leave first. Hopefully on the first day of next month, I can see you again!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiangyang turned around and left with a relaxed smile at the corner of his mouth. He had the ability to control the fierce horse from hurting the little boy, but he deliberately didn't do so in order to bring out the hero who would save the little boy. He just didn't believe that he couldn't find an exceptional guard for his master.

  Tang Lin glanced at Zhang Xiangyang's back and didn't linger, taking the invitation letter to go to the inn she was going to earlier.
