With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

Outside the space, the Imperial Guards arrived from all directions, searching the place where Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan had just disappeared.

The commander of the Imperial Guards shouted, "Those two must be hiding using some kind of illusion. Investigate them carefully and find them!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu, who was inside the space, picked up a rocket launcher, slung it over her shoulder, and aimed it at the commander of the Imperial Guard.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready." Bei Chenyan held a machine gun, ready to fire.

Nangong Wu used her mind to move the two out of the space, while simultaneously pulling the trigger with her finger.

"Whoosh—" The rocket launcher roared as it fired at the Imperial Guard commander, hitting the target precisely.

"Bang!" A violent explosion rang out.

Bei Chenyan also moved, firing machine guns into the crowd.

"Ahhhhhh~~"

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..."

The sounds of intense gunfire, screams, and shouts mingled together.

After firing that rocket, Nangong Wu switched to a Gatling gun and began firing at the surrounding crowd.

After firing one magazine, Bei Chenyan threw out two more grenades.

In an instant, the Imperial Guards were routed, with more than a hundred men falling to the ground.

The firepower was too intense, and the people from the Northern Regions dared not act rashly, retreating repeatedly with their shields raised.

"Don't linger, let's retreat!" Nangong Wu put away the Gatling gun and switched to a pistol.

Bei Chenyan picked her up, his figure transforming into a blur as he dashed out of the palace.

Seeing them run away, the people of the Northern Region chased after them, their speed no less than that of Bei Chenyan.

Upon seeing this, Nangong Wu raised her gun and fired repeatedly.

"Bang! Bang bang!!"

The people from the Northern Regions dodged and hid, or used their shields to block the bullets. She emptied one magazine but didn't kill a single one.

"Damn it."

Seeing that she couldn't kill them with guns, Nangong Wu took out a large bag of poison powder and threw it at them.

This finally forced the Northern people to retreat.

Once Nangong Wu had shaken off these people, she said to Bei Chenyan, "Stop, let's not go back yet."

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan assumed she had something else to say, so he flew down to a rooftop and put her down.

"What's wrong?"

"It's only 2:45 AM now, let's go to the Wu King's Mansion," Nangong Wu said.

Bei Chenyan paused for a moment, then looked at the Eastern Jin capital city, which was now in complete chaos.

"The capital is in chaos now, and the Prince of Wu's residence has probably increased its security as well. Why don't we wait until tomorrow to talk about it?"

"No." Nangong Wu shook her head. "We made such a commotion in the palace, they probably never imagined we would go to the Prince of Wu's residence."

"No matter what, let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll come back."

"Okay." Bei Chenyan picked Nangong Wu up again, weighed her in his hands, and said, "You're too thin. You're all bones. You probably don't even weigh 90 pounds."

"Who said I don't? I weigh ninety-two pounds, okay!" Nangong Wu suddenly realized something was off about his words. "You say I'm light, but what do you mean by 'feels all bones'?"

The way he said it was so ambiguous, as if he had touched it.

"Ha!" Bei Chenyan chuckled. "So light, you must be all bones. Women are better off being a little plump and having some meat on them. You should eat more in the future."

"Shut up." Nangong Wu glared at him. "Aren't you going to leave?"

Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats approached.

Bei Chenyan, who was about to leave, stopped.

On the main street beneath their feet, a group of people came galloping from the left side of the street.

When Bei Chenyan saw one of them, his eyes immediately turned cold. "It's the Prince of Wu. It seems he's going to the palace."

"The King of Wu." Upon hearing this name, Nangong Wu's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Which one is him?"

"The one wearing a crown, who's as fat as a pig," Bei Chenyan said, his tone full of disdain.

Nangong Wu took out a night vision telescope and saw that there were about twenty people on horseback, protecting a fat man in the middle, with about a hundred guards behind them.

"We've captured him alive." Nangong Wu crouched down, replacing her binoculars with a sniper rifle, aiming the scope at the expert beside King Wu.

"You go and arrest them; I'll deal with the others behind them."

"Okay." Bei Chenyan also squatted down, ready to go.

As the King of Wu's army drew closer, Nangong Wu pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bullet struck the leftmost guard between the eyebrows, and the guard fell off his horse.

The incident happened so suddenly that the King of Wu's troops quickly pulled on their reins.

"Bang!" Nangong Wu fired her second shot, and the guard on the right side of the King of Wu fell down as well.

"Oh no! There's an assassin! Protect the prince!" The guard who shouted was shot dead before he could finish speaking.

Bei Chenyan moved, his figure like an arrow as he pounced down, grabbed the Queen of Wu by the collar and lifted her up.

"Stop!" The guards behind him, seeing the King of Wu being captured, were furious. They drew their swords and rushed forward.

"Bang!" The person flying in front was hit by a bullet and fell to the ground.

Bei Chenyan lightly touched the horse's back with his toes, flicked his hand and shot out two hidden weapons, forcing back two people, and then leaped onto the roof with the King of Wu in his arms.

Seeing that Bei Chenyan had come up, Nangong Wu switched her sniper rifle to a Gatling gun and started firing at the hundred guards.

When Bei Chenyan brought the King of Wu back to her side, the more than one hundred people the King of Wu had brought had all been killed by Nangong Wu.

He dropped the man he was holding and stomped on the King of Wu's chest. "How do you want to kill him?"

This was the first time the King of Wu had been treated like this; it was an utter humiliation. "Who are you? Release me at once..."

Bei Chenyan ignored him, looked around, and said, "How about we go back to that house first?"

The King of Wu is Nangong Wu's greatest enemy, so she probably won't let him die so easily.

"No, take him to the Wu King's residence," Nangong Wu said.

"Catch the assassin quickly!"

With such a commotion, many experts have come chasing after us.

"Come on up." Bei Chenyan picked up Nangong Wu on his back and lifted the Prince of Wu with one hand, heading towards the Prince of Wu's residence.

Nangong Wu: "..." She originally wanted him to take the King of Wu first, and she would stay behind to cover the rear.

Bei Chenyan carried a person on his back and a "fat pig" in his hand, yet he still walked very fast.

The Wu Prince's Mansion was about two miles from the palace, just across a few streets. Bei Chenyan went straight into the Wu Prince's Mansion before stopping and leaving the people in his arms behind.

"Ouch..." King Wu screamed in pain from being thrown.

Bei Chenyan put Nangong Wu down, grabbed the King of Wu by the collar, and lifted him up. "Take us to your storeroom."

"Who exactly are you? How dare you treat me like this? Do you know what the consequences will be?" King Wu's small eyes were full of ruthlessness.

"Nangong Lan's daughter, Nangong Wu," Nangong Wu announced her name.

"Nangong Wu..." King Wu's expression changed drastically, his fat trembling with shock. "It really was you? So all the things that happened in the capital these past two days were your doing!"
