In the time-traveler chat group, am I the only one on Earth?

"An assassin?"

Hearing this, the eldest princess was relieved: "Is it necessary for an assassin to make such a big fuss?"

The current emperor is named Shangguan Yuanyang, and he is only thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old this year. The eldest princess is the emperor's youngest sister, and she is twenty-three years old now.

She lacked the mischievousness of other princesses, possessing only the dignified and virtuous qualities befitting a royal descendant.

Having grown up in the palace, she was used to seeing assassins come to the palace to carry out their missions, so the capture of assassins was nothing new to her.

"This servant does not know, but with Brother Zhu and Deputy Commander Xue around, no assassin can escape death in the end."

Xiao Lan said something with a slightly playful tone.

She had followed the eldest princess for many years, and the two were already like sisters. When no one else was around, she spoke quite casually.

"Yes!"

The eldest princess murmured, clearly agreeing with Xiaolan's statement.

Brother Zhu is the son of General Zhu. He has practiced martial arts since childhood and is highly skilled.

Deputy Commander Xue is not only the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, but even the top martial arts champion is no more than him.

Besides, no matter how strong a person is, can they withstand a shield wall and a rain of arrows?

Therefore, for an assassin to attempt an assassination in the heavily guarded imperial palace is like throwing an egg against a rock, or a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Shaking her head to stop thinking, the princess put down her paintbrush, walked slowly to the door, and pushed it open.

She wanted to ask what the current situation was.

At this moment, a large number of Imperial Guards outside the palace were carrying torches and weapons and quickly approaching the direction of the assassin. One of the captains happened to see her and hurriedly ran over to greet her with a fist and palm salute.

"Your Highness, this assassin is extremely troublesome. Please return to your room to rest."

"Extremely troublesome? The other side has sent a large number of people?"

"There is only one...".

The Imperial Guard captain looked somewhat embarrassed, and quickly added, "But he has already killed at least fifty of our Imperial Guards..."

"Fifty?"

Upon hearing this number, both the princess and Xiaolan were astonished: "One person could..."

A person who can kill ten elite soldiers in full armor on the battlefield can already be called a fierce general.

Now you're telling me that the other side killed fifty fully armed Imperial Guards??

These Imperial Guards are the elite of the elite!

She is not a woman who lacks common sense.

Noticing the assassin's unusual behavior, they dared not be careless and quickly retreated back to their room.

But just as he was about to close the door...

boom!

A violent impact suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flew in from the entrance of the front courtyard of Yuyao Palace.

There is a garden in the front courtyard of Yuyao Palace. At the entrance of the garden is a stone archway. The powerful impact has smashed the lintel of the stone archway into pieces.

Take a closer look.

The figure that was sent flying was not only burly but also clad in heavy armor, wielding a shield and a large sword.

"This is... Vice Commander Xue??"

Chapter 359 Finding the Empress, and Taking a Kiss

Whether in historical or urban settings, there is no shortage of powerful generals born with superhuman strength.

In the urban dimension, the strength of an adult male is approximately 100 jin (50 kg).

But some strong people can still weigh two or three hundred pounds, or even five or six hundred pounds.

The current world record for a single weightlifting session in the urban dimension is 263 kilograms. It is said that Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu in ancient times, could lift a cauldron weighing a thousand kilograms.

Although Xue, the deputy commander of the Great Xia Dynasty, was not as powerful as Xiang Yu, he could still lift a millstone weighing four or five hundred catties.

With such formidable strength and martial arts skills, how could someone be sent flying with a single blow, crashing through the lintel of the stone archway?

Whoosh!

As Deputy Commander Xue vomited blood and died, the man in black rushed in with a spear.

"Stop him."

The captain of the Imperial Guard reacted quickly, drawing his sword and shouting, and his other subordinates followed suit, drawing their swords to intercept him.

But the men in black were agile and incredibly strong; how could they possibly stop them?

Bang bang bang!

Squeak, bang!

Several Imperial Guards who stepped forward to block him were sent flying by Lu Yun's clone with a long spear.

Xiao Lan panicked and tried to close the door.

The moment the door closed, a member of the Imperial Guard was kicked and flew through the air, crashing into the center of the doorway.

"what!"

The smashed door struck Xiaolan on the forehead; the powerful impact knocked her unconscious on the spot.

"Xiaolan."

The princess exclaimed in surprise and tried to go over to help her maid.

Before she could make a move, the man in black rushed into the house and pointed his spear at her.

The princess was so frightened that she kept backing away. Whether it was because she was too scared and her legs were weak, or for some other reason, she actually sat down on the ground while backing away.

"Judging from your attire, you're no ordinary person. You're the one!!"

After saying this, Lu Yun quickly glanced at the Imperial Guards outside the door.

Seeing that those people indeed dared not make any rash moves, a smile appeared on his lips.

.......

Attracting the attention of the Imperial Guards and other guards to help the main body complete its next move was what Lu Yun's clone needed to do.

Kidnapping a member of the royal family was a strategy he had planned long ago.

The eldest princess was the emperor's younger sister. After being taken hostage by Lu Yun, no one else dared to make a move.

Under these circumstances, a eunuch quickly rushed to the Nine Dragons Palace.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..."

The Nine Dragons Palace was the emperor's residence. Shangguan Yuanyang was a handsome, robust man with a small mustache.

At that moment, he was sleeping with his concubine in his arms.

Hearing the eunuch's flustered voice, he sat up impatiently.

"What kind of behavior is this, rushing around so late at night?"

"The eldest princess, the eldest princess, she..."

The eunuch, still shaken, quickly recounted what had happened at Yuyao Palace.

After hearing the eunuch's account, Shangguan Yuanyang flew into a rage.

"Damn it, damn it, what are these Imperial Guards doing?"

The fact that assassins had infiltrated the palace was a serious dereliction of duty by the Imperial Guards and their personnel.

Now the other side has not only entered, but also killed so many Imperial Guards and taken the Princess hostage?

This is infuriating...

"Come with me to the Jade Palace."

Without a second thought, he quickly dressed, got up, gathered his men, and headed towards the Jade Palace where the eldest princess was.

The Empress Dowager and the Empress, among others, received the same news as him.

Surrounded by a group of guards and ministers, they arrived at the scene one after another.

.......

The doors of Yuyao Palace were tightly shut, and numerous torches illuminated the area outside the palace as if it were daytime.

Countless guards and archers formed a battle formation, completely surrounding the palace.

Seeing this display of force, Shangguan Yuanyang felt somewhat better.

His own Imperial Guards weren't just sitting idly by; at least for now, they seemed somewhat reliable.

Before he could understand the situation, another minister rushed over in a panic.

puff.

The minister knelt directly in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"what happened again?"

"Someone took advantage of the chaos to storm the imperial prison and rescue... rescued Consort Li."

"what?"

Upon hearing the minister's report, before Shangguan Yuanyang could speak, the Empress beside him exclaimed in surprise.

The Empress is considerably younger than Shangguan Yuanyang; she is twenty-eight years old this year.

Although not as stunning as Consort Li's modified appearance, she was still naturally beautiful and as lovely as a flower.

Coupled with her elegant and luxurious empress attire, she exuded a dignified and majestic aura, befitting an empress.

Before Li Susu became a concubine, her subordinates bullied her quite a bit.
