Female special forces soldiers in ancient times
Chapter 167 Security Arrangements for the Princes
After leaving the capital, the Third Prince and his entourage quickened their pace, covering more than sixty li in a single day.
When they reached the post station near the official road and stopped to rest, Li Tingting ordered them to halt their advance and recuperate ahead.
Traveling during the day was fine, but the nights were freezing cold.
This was indeed a considerable challenge for the pampered third prince.
Growing up in the palace, he enjoyed a life of luxury and comfort.
Now, in this cold night, the Third Prince must be finding it difficult to adapt.
Even in a post station, it might be difficult to provide the luxury and warmth of a palace.
The third prince was forced to confront this sudden and difficult situation.
I wonder if he will have a pleasant night away from the palace, as this is his first time experiencing this.
At the inn, they learned that the Third Prince, the eldest daughter of the Li family, and the eldest son of the Wu family had arrived.
The postmaster and his staff panicked and hurriedly sprang into action.
Originally, the arrival of a prince was already keeping them busy enough, but at the same time, a young lady and a young master from a prominent family also appeared.
How could we not make them scramble and panic?
The postmaster quickly prepared the best room and instructed everyone to change into clean bedding.
They also had a heater lit in the room, trying to make it as warm and comfortable as possible.
Several couriers hurriedly prepared hot water so that the three big shots and their entourage could wash up and relax.
The cooks in the kitchen were racking their brains to come up with a meal that would satisfy the Third Prince.
But instead, they were turned around and kicked out.
Because Li Tingting brought two imperial chefs from the palace.
Moreover, even if they help out outside, doing things like washing vegetables and dishes,
There were several guards and Li Tingting's private soldiers watching from the side.
They were so frightened they didn't dare breathe, judging from the gazes of the guards staring at them.
It's not hard to see that if they dared to play any tricks while washing vegetables,
It's likely that those guards or Li Tingting's private soldiers would not hesitate to kill them alive.
Despite this, by nightfall, the Third Prince was also filled with deep regret.
He sat in the rather simple room of the inn, his heart filled with regret.
Had he known the journey would be so arduous, he would never have left the comfortable palace so easily.
How can this hard bed compare to the soft quilts in the palace?
The heat from the heater was barely enough to ward off the chill.
How can anything compare to the lasting warmth provided by the earth dragon in the palace?
The thought of the bumpy ride in the carriage during the day made the Third Prince feel a dull ache in his bones.
The swaying of the carriage seemed endless, each jolt a torment to his body.
He began to miss the smooth palanquins in the palace and the eunuchs who carefully carried them.
Good heavens, and this is only the first day! We're still two or three miles away from Pingxi Prefecture!
The thought of this made the Third Prince hesitate.
He even wanted to give the retainer who gave him this terrible idea a good scolding.
However, when he thought about how the eldest prince had the empress's backing and the Li family's support,
The Second Prince has the support of the Wu family, but what about him?
My biological mother passed away from illness long ago; if it weren't for the support of my maternal uncle's family...
He didn't even have the chance to participate in the competition for the crown prince position.
Thinking of this, the Third Prince could only encourage himself and knew he had to grit his teeth and persevere.
Wu Zha Nan, in the other room, was in no better condition.
He grew up in a prestigious family and was used to a life of luxury.
I have never suffered such pain before.
The bed in the inn was rock hard, making him toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
The heat from that stove couldn't compare to the warmth of the underfloor heating in the house.
He felt a chill creeping in from all directions.
Fortunately, he had been interested in martial arts since childhood, and had also undergone a lot of rigorous training by Li Tingting over the past six months.
Otherwise, if he had been made to travel on horseback for a whole day, he would have been killed long ago.
The day's journey had left him exhausted, and the jolting of the carriage made his bones feel like they were about to fall apart.
He began to miss the comfortable couch and warm room at home.
A slight feeling welled up in my heart.
But the thought of what if I didn't come along...
After Li Tingting and Wei Yufeng developed feelings for each other, what was he supposed to do?
For the sake of his goddess Li Tingting, Wu Zha Nan gritted his teeth on the spot.
I've made up my mind to stick to it to the end!
As for Miss Li Tingting, she's a different story.
For her, a special forces soldier, this kind of trip was simply like a spontaneous journey.
Moreover, she had a group of followers to take care of her, and Chunmei took care of all her meals and bathing needs.
She felt so comfortable she couldn't take it anymore.
But she still didn't let her guard down; before preparing to take a bath...
He specifically summoned several captains of the guards and instructed them to be on high alert.
In particular, strict requirements were placed on the head guards responsible for patrolling.
That means that every move within five kilometers of the post station must be completely and clearly controlled.
After everyone had left, she was then served by Chunmei.
I sat comfortably in the wooden tub and took a hot bath.
......
In a dark corner of the Imperial Palace in Beijing, several men dressed in black were having a gathering.
"Boss, we've found out everything. There are over 120 guards in the First Prince's residence."
There were twenty personal guards for each prince, and forty guards on duty.
In addition, there are three patrol teams of ten men each, alternating in a crisscrossing pattern in three different directions.
"Yes, the situation at the Second Prince's residence is almost the same, except for the Fourth and Fifth Princes' residences where the number of guards is relatively small."
But there were also eighty people, fifteen of whom were personal bodyguards.
Thirty-five guards stood watch, and three patrol teams were formed.
Just as the gang leader was about to ask about the situation of the outermost guards,
Suddenly, a patrol of guards on the outermost perimeter passed by them.
Everyone immediately stopped talking and held their breath.
But these palace guards were all highly trained, and when they passed through here,
Sensing something was amiss, one of the guards suddenly stopped advancing.
"Wait, brothers, why do I feel a murderous aura around here?"
"Oh no, everyone be careful! There's an assassin over there...!"
Upon seeing this, the guards threw away their torches, drew their swords, and charged towards the group of assassins.
Seeing this, the leader in black hurriedly ordered, "Retreat!"
Then, he took the lead and quickly ran outside.
The other men in black quickly followed, but the palace guards who were tailing them...
How could they possibly give up so easily? They all relentlessly pursued them from behind.
As the leader of the men in black ran, he glanced back and noticed two guards running exceptionally fast.
It just so happened that the two of them were the first to discover their whereabouts, and in a fit of anger,
Leading the other men in black, he stopped, turned around, and thrust his sword at the vital points of the two guards.
