An army is raised for a thousand days, but used for only one.
Yu Shuang figured it was time to pull off something big.
He personally selected a large group of people and set off to do something important.
Two of the underlings were martial arts prodigies whom she had promoted directly from the bottom ranks.
He was utterly loyal to Yu Shuang, his mentor, and blindly worshipped her.
Anything proposed by the leader, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, will be carried out without hesitation.
How could the leader be wrong? The leader must have her reasons for doing this.
Under Yu Shuang's tutelage, they became qualified and capable assistants.
The boss took them out this time, saying they were going to pull off a big heist, and the two of them were incredibly excited.
The time has finally come for me to earn merit and serve the boss!
Even their henchmen were excited.
Finally, the time has come for me to put my skills to good use.
It's a waste of talent to spend every day clearing wasteland and planting crops.
They must make a good impression on the leader later; they also have the potential to become unparalleled masters.
If you are lucky enough to catch the eye of the boss, like Niu Da and Niu Er, you will receive personal guidance from the boss.
Wouldn't that make him the next unparalleled master?
Everyone was eager and excited, waiting for their chance to show off their skills.
only…
When they saw the vast expanse of people in the distance, a scene so large that even a fly flying by would be beheaded, everyone immediately became unsettled.
With imperial grandeur, officials and their families accompanied the procession, cavalry led the way, and the Imperial Guard stood guard at all times.
This...this...is what the boss meant by pulling off a big heist?
The boss has gone mad!?
They're so few in number; the Imperial Guards on the other side could kill them with a single spit.
Niu Da swallowed hard, then asked blankly:
"Boss, are we going to rob those people down there?"
Yu Shuang nodded firmly.
"To be precise, it's about taking two people. We need to wait for the right opportunity, until they're alone."
Oh? Oh, then it's alright.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
I was terrified. I thought they were going to have to fight against thousands of soldiers and horses to seize the emperor with just their small group.
The imperial bodyguards around the emperor are not easy to deal with.
Without actually fighting each other and not knowing their strength, how dare you recklessly go headfirst?
"Which two people does the chief want us to rob?"
Yu Shuang spoke softly:
"Emperor, Marquis of Yongning."
ah!
The hearts of everyone who had just landed immediately jumped again.
They're really trying to steal the emperor?!
Why are they so uncertain?
Seeing the situation on the other side made me panic...
Niu Da and Niu Er, being highly skilled and daring, quickly accepted reality, their eyes gleaming with eagerness.
He warned his restless subordinates:
"Whatever the boss says goes. Are there any cowards who don't want to go? Step forward now, or you'll hold us back!"
No one stepped forward.
If we back down now, it will not only be shameful, but the consequences could be dire.
Why not go for the big one?
They used to rob passing merchants on small scale, never imagining that one day they would be robbing the emperor himself.
They've really made something of themselves.
A group of henchmen went off as if they were going to fight a hero and never return.
But then, out of the blue, the leader said:
"You don't need to risk your lives. Leave the emperor to me, and the Marquis of Yongning to you. If you can't even handle this small matter, don't come back to Black Wind Stronghold. I'll be ashamed of you."
Everyone nodded, bewildered.
Great, the pressure is reduced by half.
...
Today, during the grand ancestral worship ceremony, Emperor Jing of Xia and his entourage proceeded in a grand procession to the imperial mausoleum.
Before the auspicious time arrived, we rested and reorganized at the Royal Villa.
Suddenly, a loud, hoarse voice rang out.
"Ah—! Protect the Emperor—!! Quickly, protect the Emperor! Catch the assassin—!!"
The entire royal villa was thrown into chaos.
The group of bandits lurking in the shadows looked at each other in bewilderment.
The leader has been exposed? That shouldn't be the case.
Perhaps it was a feint to the east while attacking the west, making it easier for them to carry out their plans.
A group of people worked together to quickly target the Marquis of Yongning...
On her way to capture the emperor, Yu Shuang encountered Prince Jin and Lin Wanxue, an imposter who had taken over the body of the original owner.
The two were in a loving relationship, with the man expressing his affection and the woman reciprocating.
Since fate brought them together, why shouldn't they do something about it?
They appeared in a flash.
"Who!? Ah!!"
Before the two could even see the figure that had suddenly appeared, they simultaneously saw a fist the size of a sandbag.
He immediately felt a sharp pain in the corner of his eye and let out a scream.
Then they were met with a brutal beating.
After a sudden gust of wind and rain.
The two were unrecognizable and lay dying against the wall.
His eyes were filled with gloom.
Ah! Who is it? This thief must be thoroughly investigated and torn to pieces!!
After giving the two men a sound beating, Yu Shuang kept her achievements hidden.
The main goal was to beat up Lin Wanxue; Prince Jin was just a side effect.
Who told him to be so unlucky as to be there at the right time?
If he hadn't shown up, Yu Shuang probably would never have bothered with him.
After all, there wasn't much of a grudge between them and the original owner.
Easily evading all eyes and ears, they quickly found the emperor's hideout.
Before she even appeared, a group of men in black emerged ahead of her, swiftly and decisively killing several guards and palace maids, and pointing their swords at the emperor.
With a loud, hoarse scream, countless guards rushed towards the spot.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Yu Shuang emerged and, with unstoppable force, knocked the emperor unconscious and took him away.
"Something terrible has happened! His Majesty has been kidnapped by villains!!"
"Boom—" The entire royal villa was thrown into chaos.
Then someone loudly announced that the Marquis of Yongning had also been kidnapped by the bandits.
