Yang Ling got out of bed, put on her shoes and socks, and went out the door.

At this moment, a large number of soldiers had gathered in the courtyard, each of them carrying an advanced Thompson submachine gun.

These were all created by Yang Ling's Liangzhou firearms, which were centuries ahead of their time.

"Your Highness!" Upon seeing Yang Ling appear, all the soldiers knelt down in unison to pay their respects.

They had guarded the border in Liangzhou for decades and had been instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism since childhood, so they naturally had great respect for Yang Ling.

"You may all get up!" Yang Ling nodded, then asked, "What happened last night?"

"Your Highness, a few days ago someone launched a night attack on our camp. Fortunately, we discovered it early, otherwise Your Highness might have been injured," the general replied respectfully, but his eyes were filled with anger.

In fact, they had taken very good precautions before Yang Ling left.

But they never expected that someone would sneak out of their camp to assassinate Yang Ling.

Fortunately, Yang Ling had been staying at the mansion, otherwise those people would have succeeded last night.

Thinking about this, they became even more vigilant and resolved to be more cautious in the future.

"Hmm!" Yang Ling replied calmly.

His brows were filled with a fierce aura and a cold, piercing light.

It seems that the enemy is indeed preparing to attack him, just as he expected.

They're incredibly audacious!

They actually dared to send their secret guards to assassinate him.

It's no wonder they sent their secret guards, because their presence posed a great threat to them, and they wouldn't rest until they eliminated them.

However, they seemed to have underestimated their own strength, which led to this lesson.

Next, Yang Ling inquired about the situation in detail before letting them disperse and go about their business.

……

"Your Highness, today is the third day of the third month, the day the Crown Princess will hold a banquet." A male voice sounded from the side, tinged with worry; it was Nanji.

Yang Ling raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He naturally knew about this matter, after all, he had just arrived in this world on the evening of the third day of the third lunar month.

Time flies so fast; in the blink of an eye, it's time for the Crown Princess to hold her banquet.

"Your Highness, what do you intend to do?" the man continued, his face full of worry.

"Don't worry, since they want to play, I'll play along with them properly, so they won't always think I'm easy to bully." Yang Ling's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"But Your Highness, what if those people send others to deal with you again?" Nanji was still worried and couldn't help but ask.

Since the other party intended to harm Yang Ling, they would naturally continue to make moves.

"Hehe, they wouldn't dare!" Yang Ling said casually, his face full of confidence.

"why?"

"Because they know that if they use the secret guards again, it might alert the enemy," Yang Ling slowly stated his judgment.

"Won't they send someone to assassinate you?" the man asked again, his worry deepening.

In ancient times, many princes were assassinated.

He really couldn't be sure that those people wouldn't take the opportunity to target Yang Ling during the banquet.

Although their muskets were very advanced, they could not defend against the enemy's arrows and crossbow bolts.

"Don't be afraid. They won't make a move easily today. After all, the Crown Princess's banquet is not so easy to disrupt. Besides, you don't believe that Father Emperor will sit idly by, do you?" Yang Ling smiled lightly, her eyes full of shrewdness.

The male pilot nodded in agreement.

If anyone were to cause trouble at today's banquet, His Majesty the Emperor would likely not let them off easily.

His only worry now is that if those people keep an eye on Yang Ling in secret and then find an opportunity to make a move, that would be bad.

Of course, Yang Ling had also thought about this problem, but he was not worried at all because he had made full preparations.

"Your Highness, please be careful today," the male officer finally couldn't help but advise.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

After saying that, Yang Ling said no more and walked outside.

Seeing this, the male pilot could only shake his head and then quickly followed.

……

"What? You failed!" A surprised voice rang out from a pavilion in the Crown Prince's residence.

The young man sitting at the head of the table was dressed in white, with sword-like eyebrows and a face as handsome as jade. However, a cold glint was faintly visible in the depths of his eyes. He was none other than the current Crown Prince Yang Shan.

Below him, two men dressed in black were kneeling.

"Your Highness, I am incompetent and beg your forgiveness!"

The two bowed deeply, their voices filled with remorse.

They originally thought they would be able to kill the Ninth Prince last night.

After all, they were the most famous secret guard organization in the imperial city, and assassinating a teenager was more than enough for them.

They never expected to encounter such a troublesome person, who not only sensed their approach before they arrived but also repelled them, forcing them to flee in disarray.

"Useless! You're all useless! What use are you to me, the Crown Prince?" Yang Shan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted coldly.

Those icy words were like ice, causing the two people below to turn slightly pale and tremble involuntarily, but they dared not beg for mercy.

They all knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was in a fit of anger, and if they dared to say anything more, the consequences would be very serious.

Fortunately, although Yang Shan was furious, he did not take their lives.

Since they still need these two bodyguards, they have no choice but to keep them for the time being.

Moreover, he had great confidence in the abilities of these two individuals.

"You may all step back for now and continue to keep an eye on him."

"Yes!" The two were overjoyed and quickly replied.

They never expected that the Crown Prince would let them off so easily this time; it was truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune!

"Wait a moment!"

Just as the two were about to leave, Yang Shan's voice rang out again.

"Does Your Highness have any further instructions?" they asked, somewhat puzzled, wondering what else the Crown Prince might have to do at this hour.

"Don't rush to leave. I'm giving you a mission. If you still can't kill Ninth Brother this time, then never show your faces again!" A cold glint flashed in Yang Shan's eyes, and his voice became extremely icy.

The two felt a jolt in their hearts, but said nothing and turned to leave the room.

They knew that nothing they said would make a difference; they just wanted to complete the mission successfully, or they would be doomed.

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was already 9:00 AM, time for the banquet.

Yang Ling changed into a brand new robe and then walked towards the door.

There, a carriage was already waiting.

The Crown Princess invited many people, so they naturally had to get there early, otherwise it would be very impolite.

When Yang Ling arrived at the Crown Prince's residence in his carriage, there were already quite a few people inside, chatting in small groups, creating a lively atmosphere.
