Su Muyao shook her head and was about to leave when suddenly all the hidden guards came out.
The little dumpling tilted its head and looked at Xia.
The Duke immediately stood in front of the Emperor and Empress, and Xiao Dezi immediately adopted a defensive posture.
All the emperor's bodyguards surrounded the emperor and empress.
The people on the street were terrified and fled everywhere. The guards protecting Su Muyao whispered, "These people look like bandits. There are probably over a thousand of them."
After all the people had left, the simply dressed bandits revealed their menacing glint in their eyes.
One of the underlings asked his leader, "Boss, it seems this fat sheep isn't an ordinary person."
The burly man, addressed as "Big Brother," sneered, "Hmph, so what? We'll take them all down now. The city's garrison will be here in about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
Upon hearing his boss's words, he immediately shouted, "Brothers, let's go! If we take these guys down, we'll be living the high life from now on!"
Soon, the bandits charged toward the emperor and empress.
Although Su Muyao thought these people were no different from ordinary bandits, she noticed with her sharp eyes that they were wearing the same military boots.
Clearly, these people were not ordinary bandits.
It must be some bandit who dared to commit such atrocities in the capital. The leader of these people was a tall man who looked to be around 30 years old.
He looked like a bandit leader, but he was carrying a large knife.
One of the bandits saw that Su Muyao was a little girl, but their target was only the three people in front of her.
So he yelled at Su Muyao and the others, "If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here, or don't blame me for my knife being merciless."
Although this little bundle of flesh looks like the child of a high-ranking official, the master only said that he wanted to deal with the man and woman in the portrait.
Xia, protecting Su Muyao, asked in a low voice, "Princess, it seems their target is the Emperor and Empress. Why don't you go back first?"
The guards protecting the little girl also had this idea; they wanted to escort her back to the palace and then return to help the emperor.
They were all secret guards trained by the royal family, and their duty was to protect the young princess.
The emperor was protected by other secret guards.
Su Muyao smiled and clapped her hands, and instantly a group of men in black appeared from all directions.
Most importantly, all of these men in black were carrying Gatling guns.
This is Su Muyao's confidence. Having trained so many people, it's time to show some of her strength.
The man who called himself the bandit leader was annoyed: "Damn it, they're blind! This little bunch of kids is actually some kind of big shot?"
Then, turning back to the person who had been babbling in front of the little girl, he cursed, "Damn it, when have I ever seen you so soft-hearted? Just twist her head off, and there wouldn't be so much trouble!"
Su Muyao shouted, "Uncle, Aunt, come to me quickly!"
As more and more of his own people fell, the emperor pulled the empress and the duke directly toward Su Muyao.
Xiao Dezi followed along, clattering along beside him.
With these secret guards protecting them, escorting the emperor and empress to Su Muyao shouldn't be a problem, since it's only a few meters away.
The burly man at the head of the group suddenly changed his expression. He had a bad feeling about the large iron rods that the men in black behind him were carrying!
"Get started now!"
Everyone drew their swords and rushed towards the Emperor and Empress, while Su Muyao said to the black-clad men protecting her, "Remember to leave one alive."
As soon as they finished speaking, the men in black, holding Gatling guns, opened fire on the group of over a thousand bandits.
Then a "thump-thump-thump-thump" sound rang out, and the bandits fell to the ground.
The emperor and empress exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes!
The Emperor thought to himself that he knew Yao Yao was the lucky star of the entire dynasty. With her around, how could the dynasty not prosper?
Then he looked at the large iron rods being held by the people in front of him.
With this weapon in hand, taking on a hundred or even a thousand enemies is a piece of cake.
The Duke was completely stunned.
He finally learned that the Yan Kingdom demanded that the young princess and the emperor would rather send the crown prince over than let the young princess escape.
From this perspective, a great dynasty can exist without a crown prince, but it absolutely cannot exist without a young princess.
Just then, the Gatling gun stopped, and Lin Yu and his men pressed their gleaming swords against the neck of the leading man.
If he had wanted this person dead, they would have been beheaded long ago.
"You're really asking for death, trying to hurt our princess, humph."
The burly man said, "Brother, why don't you bring your men and come with me? In the future, whatever you want, whether it's status or power, I can give you anything."
Lin Yu sneered, "All of us are born to be the princess's people, and we will die to be the princess's souls."
"You're dreaming if you want us to defect in the face of battle. Who on earth dares to attempt an assassination?"
Seeing the burly man with an expression of resignation, Su Muyao shouted to Lin Yu, "Stop him! He's going to commit suicide by poison!"
Upon hearing her young princess's order, Lin Yu immediately snapped the burly man's jaw with a crack.
Just then, the Imperial Guards and the city guards arrived, and the Duke reprimanded the city guards who were leading the charge.
"It's taken you so long to bring people over. What are you all doing? If it weren't for the young princess's people and the royal guards, who knows what would have happened by now. You're all just sitting around doing nothing!"
This man, named Qian Fenghu, was drinking with his friends when, unexpectedly, someone arrived with a token to mobilize troops.
They said the emperor was recruiting assassins in the city and he needed to immediately lead men to rescue him.
Still drunk, he vaguely went to gather his men, only to find the ground littered with corpses when he arrived. Instantly, he sobered up considerably.
Needless to say, he knew that he would lose his job after today. As long as he could save his family's lives, he didn't care if he died.
Moreover, it was just a few words of reprimand from the Duke.
As the highest-ranking officer in charge of the city's defense forces, he usually had nothing to do every day.
After all, who would dare to cause trouble in the capital? As for those minor squabbles, he always turned a blind eye and let them be.
During his more than ten years in power, nothing ever happened. He was getting old and would soon be... Thinking of this, and looking at the corpses all over the ground, I couldn't help but want to go over and stomp on them a few more times.
Su Muyao and Xia Xia returned to the Princess's residence.
She knew these things, and the emperor would naturally find out the truth. She never bothered with matters that were not her concern.
The emperor took the empress back to the palace, and after calming her down, he and the Duke went to interrogate the leader who had been brought back bound.
Not long after Su Muyao returned, Old Man Su and Old Woman Su heard about the assassination attempt on the emperor on the street.
The people of the entire city are now talking about it, saying that a spy from another country has come to the Great Dynasty specifically to assassinate the young princess, the emperor, and the empress.
