Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 563 Lin Daiyu is assassinated~
"It's so annoying~"

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Daiyu irritably twisted her handkerchief.

Unsurprisingly, the satin handkerchief was torn to shreds.

"King Qin, King Qin, you didn't hit me hard enough last time."

Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth and said, "You're courting death!"

After knocking out the King of Qin last time, she waited anxiously for Lin Ruhai at home.

Surprisingly, the father, who didn't return home until after dark, acted as if he knew nothing and didn't ask any questions at all.

After we finished eating, I went to the study to read.

After that, the matter was never mentioned again.

After being on guard for a long time, Lin Daiyu gradually calmed down, thinking that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, after the King of Qin was named the Crown Prince, an imperial edict arrived at his home, and he was named the Crown Princess!
Lin Daiyu was angry and sulking at home, but Lin Ruhai seemed to be blind to it and didn't care at all.

Even today, Lin Daiyu goes to the palace to be officially recognized.

"I don't want to be the Crown Princess!"

He subconsciously took out the walkie-talkie, but after thinking for a while, he angrily put it away again.

I contacted my senior several times, but he just said, "Don't worry, just let the water flow."

This really angered Lin Daiyu.

"It's all King Qin's fault!"

"If I happen to run into you, I'll slap you to the ground and make you crawl on the floor."

At this time, the King of Qin should be the Crown Prince.

The crown prince looked quite dazed.

He broke his arm and is still recovering.

Regarding today's ceremony of bestowing the title of Crown Princess, the Crown Prince had only one thought for the Emperor.

'Are you my real father?'

That Lord Hedong is a monster.

With a single wave of his hand, he broke my arm.

You want me to marry a woman like this?
You're telling me to die.

He couldn't even imagine how miserable his life would be after marrying such a woman.

Let alone arguing or fighting, I don't even dare to sit at the same table with her when we eat.

If I accidentally pick up the food she wants to eat, wouldn't I be stabbed to death with my chopsticks?

Indeed, the Lin family woman was extremely beautiful, entirely according to her own aesthetic standards.

However, no matter how beautiful a woman is, nothing is more important than her own life.

There was nothing he could do; the emperor had personally chosen the crown princess, and he had no other choice.

When Lin Daiyu's carriage arrived at the palace gate, the Crown Prince, who had been ordered to greet her, was trembling so badly that he almost fell over.

When Lin Daiyu, wearing a conical hat and holding a round fan, got off the carriage, she watched as the willow-like figure walked over.

The crown prince could no longer hold on.

The fear in my heart overwhelmed everything.

He turned and ran like an arrow released from a bow.

The speed was astonishing; it was hard to imagine that this was a person weighing nearly 200 pounds with an injured arm.

Surrounded by a large group of palace servants, Lin Daiyu marched in a grand procession toward Fengtian Hall.

Along the way, there were imperial guards in bright armor stationed everywhere.

These Imperial Guards all looked imposing, yet the armor weighing dozens of kilograms seemed to weigh nothing on their bodies.

On the surface, they were all the elites of the world.

In reality, these Imperial Guards, composed of sons from prominent families, were basically the same as the Imperial Guards during the Northern Song Dynasty, and their armor was all polished.

Skilled craftsmen polished each and every armor plate until they were almost transparent.

The armor, which originally weighed dozens of kilograms, actually only weighed a few kilograms when worn.

Armor is very physically demanding and uncomfortable to wear.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, people would only be properly dressed and ready to go into battle.

The soldiers in movies and TV dramas who march in armor would have been amazed by them if they had seen them in real life.

Although the armor was already very thin, many of the Imperial Guards were still full of impatience.

They joined to gain prestige and coast along, not to actually do any work.

Standing here like an idiot in this freezing weather, I'm already cursing under my breath.

Everyone was hoping the investiture ceremony would end soon.

As Lin Daiyu and her entourage entered the Thousand Steps Corridor and passed through the Chengtian Gate, a sudden change occurred.

The guards at the door suddenly drew their swords and rushed forward.

As they charged forward, they shouted, "Wei Xiaobao, the Dragon of the Lake, swears to kill the Crown Princess!"

The palace maids and nannies were all dumbfounded.

They never expected to encounter something like this.

Even more astonished was Lin Daiyu, who dropped her fan to the ground, her face filled with disbelief.

It wasn't the awe that someone dared to assassinate someone in the palace, but the shock of what these assassins were saying.

'Wei Xiaobao, the Dragon of the Lake'

'You want to kill me?!'

The two leading palace maids were slashed to the ground, and the rest of the people, regaining their senses, screamed and scattered.

Several assassins rushed straight towards Lin Daiyu, and even saw her bewildered and confused expression.

The fastest-rushing assassin had already closed in on Lin Daiyu.

He raised the sharp blade in his hand and slashed it towards her shoulder.

The target is the shoulders, not the neck, head, or heart.

The movement is a slash, not a chop or stab.

A hundred paces away, on a palace wall, Lin Dao, dressed in camouflage, saw the scene clearly through the scope of a sniper rifle.

'Sure enough. ’

'It's a pity you chose the wrong person.'

'An indestructible body and immense strength are merely side effects; the true core lies in indestructibility!'

I'm worried I won't be able to break through their defenses.

'The knives you hold are nothing.'

In the distance, the assassin's knife slashed across the arm of the shocked Lin Daiyu.

The elaborate outer robe was torn.
If nothing unexpected happens, even if the girl manages to keep her arm, it will likely be damaged, leaving her with a permanent disability.

But the next moment, the Dragon Guard assassin's eyes widened in surprise.

The sharp blade slid down Lin Daiyu's arm, cutting through her gorgeous dress to reveal her snow-white arm beneath. Yet, there wasn't a single scratch on her arm!
There wasn't even a scratch, let alone blood splattering everywhere!
The Imperial Guard looked up in astonishment, staring at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu finally recovered from her shock.

Suddenly, she closed her eyes, opened her cherry-like mouth, and let out an extremely sharp bang.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his arms wildly and started throwing punches haphazardly.

Lin Dao taught her a lot, but when it came to the crucial moment, she still only knew how to throw wild punches.

The first punch landed on the Dragon Guard assassin's chin.

With a single punch, the Dragon Guard assassin, whose jaw had been shattered, was sent flying.

The entire skull suffered a devastating blow, and the person was already brain dead when they were sent flying into the air.

Lin Daiyu, swinging her fists wildly, screamed and charged forward with her eyes closed.

Like a rampaging tank, it smashed through the air, sending several Imperial Guards flying.

These Dragon Guard assassins are not Lin Dao.

That day, when Lin Daiyu crashed into Lin Dao, it was like a heavy tank crashing into a medium tank; she could still withstand it to some extent.

But if you run into these Imperial Guards, it's like a hammer hitting an egg.

"Crushed to pieces" has always been an adjective, but this time it has truly become a reality.

The Imperial Guard assassins were sent flying backwards and crashed into the palace walls, like stains of dye smeared on white paper.

The palace walls were extremely sturdy, but the Dragon Guard assassins did not possess the formidable physique of Lin Dao.

The result, naturally, was utter destruction.

Several figures hiding not far away stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

After regaining his senses, he hurriedly fled.

Lin Dao's gun followed their retreating figures until they disappeared from sight.

After a while, Lin Daiyu finally calmed down.

She opened her eyes and looked around.

The horrific scene startled her, and she quickly covered her mouth.

The surroundings were deserted; there wasn't a single living person in sight.

At this moment, Lin Daiyu habitually lifted the hem of her skirt, turned around and ran away.

Just like when they were selecting concubines at the Prince of Qin's residence.

The imperial guards along the way stared in astonishment as the Crown Princess hurriedly ran past them alone.

No one knows what happened.

Some people even started to fantasize about it.

'The Crown Princess ran away from her wedding~~~'

Lin Daiyu succeeded in escaping last time, so she's gotten used to it and will run away again this time.

He ran all the way out of the Meridian Gate and, under the astonished gazes of everyone in the Lin family, nimbly boarded the carriage.

"Come on!"

"Go home!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. What was going on?

Lin Dao was also laughing non-stop.

He packed his things, got up, and made his way back to the safe house he had set up inside the palace.

First, they recalled the drone that had been circling and monitoring the palace.

Then, the surveillance cameras that had been pre-installed in Fengtian Hall were activated to check the situation there.

In fact, today was a test specifically prepared for Lin Daiyu.

According to the ritual system, when the Crown Princess is appointed, the throne, incense table, and imperial seal table should be set up in the Fengtian Hall, and the imperial seal pavilion should be temporarily set up.

In addition, there must be officials as witnesses, palace music playing, and various rituals that are extremely complicated.

In reality, besides the emperor, only Prince Zhongshun was in the Fengtian Hall.

There were no officials, not even any musicians playing.

Several figures quickly appeared on the surveillance footage.

They were the same few who had been hiding in the shadows and observing.

They reported everything they had seen to the emperor in great detail.

There are even variations on whether Lin Daiyu swung her fist forward or backward.

"Have you all seen clearly?"

King Chungsun asked impatiently, "Did the knife really hit the target?"

The men did not respond; instead, they all looked at the emperor.

Only after the emperor waved his hand did he reply to Prince Zhongshun.

"Replying to Your Highness."

“We all saw it clearly.”

"The shadow guard's knife struck Lin's right arm squarely."

King Chungsun hurriedly asked, "Were you injured?"

"Never!"

No blood was found!

Lin Dao, who was peeling an orange in front of the monitor screen, couldn't help but chuckle.

"Shadow Guard?"

Why don't you call yourself the Flying Guillotine?

"This name is so tacky."

King Chungshun let out a sigh of relief.

Then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly asked again.

"Is there anything wrong with that Lin woman?"

After a moment of careful consideration, someone responded.

"Replying to Your Highness."

If there's anything inappropriate about it...

"When Lady Lin heard that Wei Xiaobao, the Dragon of the Lake, had vowed to kill the Crown Princess, she was extremely shocked."

"consternation?"

"Yes." The man said again, "It wasn't fear, but disbelief, and even a very strange expression."

The emperor and Prince Zhongshun looked at each other.

What's wrong with her?
