In the majestic Jinluan Palace.

The Royal Saint looked down at the civil and military officials of the Highness, his eyes fixed on one place, obviously lost in thought.

Seeing that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, the officials of His Highness all whispered to each other, wondering what Yushengjun was thinking. Yushengjun's trance made these people nervous, frightened, and inexplicable, as if Yushengjun would appear at any time.

It's like taking a knife to them.

At this time, Prime Minister Zuo Fu Zheng lined up his team, stood in the center of the hall, nodded to the Royal Saint, and then said: "Your Majesty, it's time for Xinke Sanjia to go to the hall to meet the emperor!"

Hearing the sound, Yu Shengjun's eyes had a glimmer of light and he came back to his senses.

An Lin bowed towards him and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to announce that the top three in the new department will enter the palace now?"

Yu Shengjun thought in silence for a long time. When everyone thought he would give the order, he instead said this to the civil and military officials, "Let's put it aside for now. Today is the first day of the Ouchi Guard Selection Competition.

, I have to go and observe, as for the matter of the new top three, we will discuss it tomorrow!"

All the officials bowed their heads and nodded, "Yes!"

"Retreat from the court!" After saying that, the Royal Saint hurriedly walked towards the palace.

As soon as Yu Shengjun left, two officials were whispering, "These first three days are the first three levels of the competition and the three knockout rounds. The Emperor shouldn't have to inspect it. Is there anything worth delaying his meeting with the top three?"

"

"The emperor's heart is unpredictable, how can we understand the emperor's heart? That's it!"

——

Royal Palace.

Nangong Gate.

The Nangong Gate is wide open, and on the high wall, a large number of imperial guards are standing guard and patrolling. On both sides of the high wall gate, there are also many imperial guards guarding to prevent riots. Wave after wave of people are walking in from the Nangong Gate, all of them are

There were some strong people, and the scene was very grand, with the momentum of thousands of troops rushing to the front.

When Cao Dan followed Tang Lin not far from the Nangong Gate, he saw the people entering the palace one after another, and his eyes widened in shock, "Wow, there are so many people!"

Tang Lin raised her head to look at the blue sky and white clouds. She lowered her head, raised her hands, rolled up her sleeves, and looked at her watch. It was already nine o'clock in the morning. She looked at the high walls of the palace and looked at the situation of the Nangong Gate one by one.

When Cao Dan saw that she was silent and was looking at something, he asked: "Sister Tang, what are you looking at?"

Tang Lin pointed to those who entered the palace to participate in the Ouchi Guard Selection Competition, "Look, everyone has eight characters written on their faces!"

"Words?" Cao Dan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the people passing by, but he didn't see any words on their faces, "Sister Tang, no!"

"They all have the words "fierce and evil, they will punish me if they offend me" written on their faces, you idiots!" After saying this, Tang Lin walked towards the palace gate without looking back.

There is a table at the entrance of the palace. This is the place where invitations are received. Anyone who has an invitation gives it to the young man sitting behind the table, a young and handsome man with a smile on his face.

.

After those people put down the invitations, they were led into the palace gate by special personnel.

Tang Lin was still some distance away from the door. At this moment, she saw a young woman in red standing in front of the table. The woman was plump and beautiful, and her charming eyes were looking at the handsome young man.

The man slowly handed over the invitation card in his hand.

The young man took the post from the woman's hand, then said something to a guard on the side, and then raised his hand to the woman, "Girl, please follow our people in, and he will arrange your accommodation. Because you have

Those who submit invitations can pass the first three rounds of the competition. The first three days are the knockout rounds, and the girl will have to rest for three days before coming to the stage. Please come in!"

The woman smiled softly, turned around, and entered the palace with her sword.

When they almost reached the palace gate, Tang Lin moved closer to Cao Dan and whispered: "You don't have an invitation, so go in first and wait for me inside. Don't walk away!"

"Sister Tang, hurry up!" Cao Dan was afraid of being separated from Tang Lin.

At this time, the two of them had already reached the palace gate.

Cao Dan nodded to Tang Lin, and then followed the groups of people without invitations into the palace gate. He looked back at Tang Lin, and for a moment he had such a complicated mood: He and

She is like a civilian and an official. He is a civilian and has no special care, but she is an official and has special care.

The difference between him and her is huge!

Tang Lin walked towards the table after seeing Cao Dan enter. The young man was reading a post with a gentle smile on his face, but Tang Lin felt that this man's smile was like "a smile hiding a knife."

She walked to the table and stopped.

The man felt a strong aura approaching him. He put down the post and looked up, and was stunned. Tang Lin, who was dressed in an unusual way, did not make him shine, but shocked him... especially Tang Lin.

This aura that comes out naturally.

Did he feel wrong?

Tang Lin put the invitation on the table and asked politely: "Can I come in?"

The man took the invitation and took a look at it, then put it away and looked at Tang Lin. He couldn't take his eyes away from this woman. She was so... different, especially her beautiful face and offbeat look.

dress up.

After sizing up Tang Lin, the man's eyes finally fell on the sniper rifle Tang Lin was holding, "This is..."

Tang Lin smiled and replied with two words, "Weapon!"

"Oh~" the man said in a long voice with some understanding, and pointed to the big bag Tang Lin was carrying, "What is that on your back?"

Tang Lin smiled again. At this moment, she was like facing the commander's inspection in modern times. She could only squeeze out a perfunctory smile, "Brother, what's inside...are some...clothes! Could it be that,

Can’t you bring your clothes to compete?”

"Yes, of course!" Originally he was just asking curiously, but he didn't expect Tang Lin to think too much. The man smiled slightly, then gave some instructions to the guards around him, then raised his hand to Tang Lin and said, "Then

Girl, please come inside and our people will arrange a place for the girl!"

"Ah!" Tang Lin was shocked, "Do I still have a place to live?"

The man said truthfully: "Those who hold invitations can directly enter the fourth round of the competition. We have special care for those who hold invitations. We will arrange a place for them to live and arrange their food, clothing and daily life!"

Tang Lin twitched her lips. She didn't expect invitations to be so effective. Is this considered a backdoor? "In other words, the people with invitations have been carefully selected among the people?"

The man nodded, "What the girl said is correct! There are only a hundred posts to be invited to participate by the Guards Department, but there are so many people who have signed up to participate. Girl, you are very lucky to get the invitation!"

Tang Lin grinned, "You're welcome, you're welcome!"

"Girl, please!" The man raised his hand again in a gesture of invitation.

"Handsome guy, thank you!" After saying thanks, Tang Lin turned around and went into the palace.

The man looked at her retreating figure, his eyes became dazed, and he thought to himself: "She is still young and a woman, how could Commander Zhang give her the invitation? The holders of a hundred invitations are all extraordinary people.

Or, can this girl survive the fourth round?"

I'm afraid this woman, like those women in the past, failed before she could survive the fifth round.

After entering Nangong Gate, you can see a very wide square, which is Nangong Square.

The East Palace Gate is the main gate of the palace. It is where the palace residents and civil and military officials come and go. It is also the exclusive passage for envoys from various countries to meet the emperor. Ordinary people are not allowed to use the East Palace Gate. The West Palace Gate is the emperor's exclusive passage. Without his order, a person can

People are also not allowed to enter or leave through the West Palace Gate. The North Palace Gate is the back door of the palace, behind the harem, and has never been opened. The South Palace Gate was opened for the Ouchi Guards selection competition, because there is a royal forest at the South Palace Gate, which is very difficult for the competition.

it works.

At this time, in every corner of Nangong Square, there was a Royal Guardsman standing one meter away. In the middle of the square, there was a large group of people, thousands of people in total. This group of people was surrounded by the Royal Guardsmen in a circle.

.

There are many magnificent palaces near Nangong Square, but there are only two roads, one to the left and one to the right. To the right is the area close to the stadium and the Royal Forest, and to the left is the center of the palace.

Cao Dan stood by the door, obediently waiting for Tang Lin to come in.

After a while, Tang Lin came in, followed by a guard. She saw Cao Dan on the side of the door, and when she was about to talk to him, the guard said to her: "This is a gathering place for ordinary contestants, not a competition venue. Girl, please come."

Come with me!"

Seeing Cao Dan's helpless appearance, Tang Lin felt a little distressed and said to the Imperial Guard: "Brother, can I follow you in soon?"

The imperial guard said solemnly: "You are not allowed to wander around the palace, especially those with invitations. The superiors have ordered that we must personally take the people with invitations to the designated place, and there must be no mistakes in the process!"

Tang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You are not an assassin who entered the palace to assassinate you. Do you need to be so strict?"

The Imperial Guard did not answer her question, his face and tone became a little cold, "Please, girl, don't embarrass us Imperial Guards, we are also doing things according to orders!"

"Okay," Tang Lin didn't want to embarrass the other party, let alone break the rules set by the superiors. She looked at Cao Dan, gave him a reassuring look, and then encouraged: "Come on, Xiao Cao, you are strong.

You must complete the first three rounds of exams, and we will meet in three days!"

"Sister Tang..." Seeing Tang Lin being led to the right aisle of Nangong Square by the Royal Guards, Cao Dan felt like he was looking forward to seeing her.

——

After walking through a long passage that was strictly guarded by the Royal Guards, they then went around the bend and entered the door again.

As Tang Lin walked, she looked at her surroundings and occasionally looked at her watch. She followed the imperial guards in front of her for more than ten minutes before arriving at her destination. When she entered another gate, a huge training ground suddenly appeared.

In front of her, on the field, there are many training items that she has seen and never seen before.

However, facing this training ground, Tang Lin was not surprised, just a little unexpected. She thought that the ancient guard training bases were very simple, and there were no challenges at all. But she was wrong, she overestimated this

The court.
