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

Seventy Flying Feather Guards rode on horseback to protect the rear, left, and right sides of the imperial carriage, guarding against any sudden attack.

They were all dressed in the same clothes, with black cloaks that just covered their guns and ammunition pouches.

According to the original plan, the imperial carriage was to travel along several main streets of Yulong City, circle the imperial city, and finally enter the East Palace.

Today is the Crown Prince's wedding day, a day of national celebration. Firecrackers are going off, drums are beating, and red ribbons and lanterns adorn the entire capital with a festive atmosphere.

The streets along which the wedding procession would pass were covered with red carpets, resembling a winding red river. Both sides of the road were lined with onlookers, all eager to see what their crown princess looked like.

"Wuwu, I've finally married you. From now on, we're a real couple." Bei Chenyan's large, warm hand enveloped Nangong Wu's hand. "Our family of five has finally become a real family."

It wasn't easy for him to marry her, but thankfully he finally won her heart.

"Mm." Nangong Wu nodded slightly.

"Wuwu, you look so beautiful today!" Bei Chenyan looked at her and felt a little unreal.

"You too." Nangong Wu looked at him. "You look great in red, it adds a touch of flamboyance."

This man is very handsome, inheriting the beauty of Empress Wan. He is even more beautiful than a woman, yet he does not appear effeminate. His narrow phoenix eyes carry the unique nobility and elegance of an Easterner from his previous life. He is the kind of devilishly handsome man, and his temperament seems to change no matter what color clothes he wears.

The one in white robes appeared gentle and refined, like a celestial being descended to earth; the one in black appeared wild and unruly, like a demon lord descended to earth; the one in purple appeared noble, and with a frown, she gave off an aura of being unapproachable; the one in red appeared flamboyant and dashing, but she hadn't told the truth just now.

"Really?" A strange light flashed in Bei Chenyan's eyes.

"Really." Nangong Wu nodded. "All three children look like you. You see, they look exactly like you."

"Our child will naturally be good-looking," Bei Chenyan grinned.

"Stop talking nonsense. Ling Yangzi could appear at any time. We need to be careful." Nangong Wu looked ahead.

Their entourage had entered the main street, and assassins could appear at any moment.

On the main street, wherever their carriage passed, the people on both sides of the street knelt down, but could still look up at them.

On both sides of the street, a soldier stood every five feet.

The guards of the Eastern Palace, like the Flying Feather Guards, were all armed with guns, their large cloaks covering their submachine guns and ammunition pouches, keeping a vigilant watch over their surroundings.

If there are assassins among these kneeling civilians, kill them immediately once they draw their weapons.

Nangong Wu suddenly realized something: "According to the palace etiquette, the imperial concubine's phoenix carriage should be used to fetch the bride today. Why are you using your crown prince's carriage to pick me up?"

"The Crown Princess's phoenix carriage is a bit small; it's a little cramped for our family of five, and it's not as grand as my carriage."

"Besides, I am the Crown Prince, and whether or not the rules are followed is up to me." Bei Chenyan had an expression that seemed to be seeking praise.

"Yes, you're the Crown Prince, you're the best." Nangong Wu praised him.

"Father, Mother, so many people!" Nangong Xi seemed very excited, and was curious about everything he saw along the way.

"Yu'er, look what's hanging at the shop entrance?"

"Xi'er, can you be quiet? It's so noisy." Nangong Yu's frown was exactly the same as Bei Chenyan's.

"None of the three children had a normal childhood," Nangong Wu felt guilty.

These three children rarely went out from birth and could not go out to play like other children. They lived in the palace from childhood to adulthood. When they went out, they had to stay in her space and rarely came into contact with the outside world.

"They are our children, so naturally they are different from ordinary children. They are still young, but when they grow up, they will be able to stand on their own," Bei Chenyan said.

Their children are born to stand at a high level and are destined to have an extraordinary life, bearing even greater responsibilities in the future.

The wedding procession, accompanied by music and fanfare, marched along the red carpet laid out on the main street, followed by 308 loads of dowry that stretched as far as the eye could see, causing a sensation throughout the entire Jade Dragon City.

Because once the imperial carriage had traveled half a mile, the people could stand up and watch the dowry being carried away, discussing it amongst themselves.

"Look, the porters carrying the dowry are all soldiers, each with a sword on their back. There's a soldier standing every five feet. You can see that each of these dowry items is priceless and very precious."

"Of course! That used to be the prestigious Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion of the Western Yan Kingdom. The Zhenyuan Prince, Huo Jing, who married into the family, was incredibly wealthy, and Princess Runing was renowned throughout the land. How could they not have money?"

"Ah! It's true that different people have different fates. If we could have a treasure like that, we wouldn't have to do anything for the rest of our lives."

"If we want it, we need to have the ability to take it. The Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion guards the nation's borders; they risked their lives to get it. Princess Runing's mother, the Eldest Princess, was such a capable person, yet she was betrayed by her own people and reportedly died a horrible death..."

The entire Jade Dragon City was in a strange state of excitement because of the Crown Prince's wedding. In the past few days, the streets and alleys, teahouses and taverns have been filled with discussions about this unprecedentedly grand wedding.

It was truly a case of all nations coming to pay tribute; even famous martial arts sects were invited, making business in the capital boom and causing all industries to make a fortune.

Time passed slowly, and the wedding procession had covered a third of the distance; everything was normal.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu fell silent, while the Eastern Palace guards in front and the Flying Feather Guards behind became increasingly vigilant.

"Our men are heavily guarded, and the assassins mixed in with the crowd dare not make the first move," Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu looked up at the sky. "So, Ling Yangzi or some other expert will appear first and descend from the sky."

"We have over 120 secret guards, along with the people brought by Senior Brother Chu, and some sect experts, all hidden in various corners of the city. As long as these people dare to show up, we will take action," Bei Chenyan said.

Nangong Wu closed her eyes slightly, blocking out the sounds of firecrackers and drums, and listened quietly to all the sounds of the wind around her.

The group walked for nearly half an hour without encountering any problems.

Suddenly, a cacophony of screams erupted from behind the imperial carriage.

Nangong Wu suddenly opened her eyes.

Bei Chenyan looked back. "What happened?"

A figure rushed down from the rooftop; it was a palace guard. "Your Highness, several thieves have appeared, killed two of our soldiers, and stolen a dowry."

"I'll go take a look." Bei Chenyan stood up.

"No need to go." Nangong Wu pulled him to sit down. "This person might just be testing us, trying to lure us over. The real big fish hasn't appeared yet, so let's not make a move."

With so many guards stationed in the city, how could they possibly let a few thieves succeed?

Sure enough, just as Bei Chenyan was hesitating, a burst of gunfire rang out.

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

Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and the Eastern Palace guards and Flying Feather Guards all put their hands on the pistols at their waists.

"Whoa!" Cao Li pulled on the horse's reins.

"Keep going, there's no need to stop," Bei Chenyan ordered.
