[Forwarded] Special Forces Queen, Arrives! (5)

Chapter Five: Young Lady, You Are Not an Ordinary Person\ Tang Lin picked up her backpack and walked toward the inn across the street. The street was very wide. At that moment, a fast horse came galloping from the front. The rider shouted at the crowd blocking the road, "Move out of the way! Move! The horse is out of control!"\ The crowd quickly scattered, but a three-year-old little boy stood in the middle of the road, crying so bitterly, "Mom! Mom! Where are you, Mom!"\ Hearing the boy's cries, Tang Lin turned her head to look. The little boy was almost about to be trampled by the horse's hooves.\ Tang Lin's eyes darkened, and she became exceptionally calm. Before the horse could stomp on the boy, she quickly drew a handgun from the holster at her waist. From the other side of her waist, she lifted her T-shirt, revealing a row of syringes containing chemical substances wrapped inside. She took one, loaded it onto the handgun, then changed her stance, aimed at the horse's neck, took a deep breath, and after calming herself, she pulled the trigger. The syringe was shot out from her handgun.\ At the critical moment, the horse was stabbed by the needle. Its limbs went soft, and it collapsed in front of the little boy, unable to move anymore.\ The horse's owner had already jumped to the side of the road to safety as the horse fell.\ The little boy's mother immediately ran out, picked up her son, and left.\ Tang Lin walked over, glanced at the horse with softened limbs, removed the syringe from its neck, put it back in its original place, and put the handgun back in the holster at her waist. As she turned to leave, the horse's owner ran over and blocked her path. The man, in his early forties, made her frown coldly, "What do you want?"\ Zhang Xiangyang looked at the now exhausted horse and then at Tang Lin, his face filled with uncontrollable delight. Who would have thought that in just a short time out today, he would meet such an expert? And a tall, twenty-something young lady with a beggar-painted face at that. "Miss, may I know how you managed to subdue my horse?"\ "Well…" Tang Lin curved her lips into a charming smile. Just as Zhang Xiangyang was eager for the answer, her expression suddenly turned cold. "No comment!" She turned to leave, but Zhang Xiangyang continued to block her. Impatient, she glared at him and asked, "What exactly do you want?"“Miss, please don't be angry!” Zhang Xiangyang said as he took an invitation from his bosom. The invitation was red on the outside and he handed it to Tang Lin. “Only those with this invitation can enter the palace and participate in the selection for the Imperial Guards. Miss, you are not an ordinary person, so I am inviting you to take part in the Imperial Guard selection!” Initially, Tang Lin wanted to refuse immediately, but when she heard it was inside the palace, she couldn't help but reconsider. “You mean, with this invitation, I can enter the palace?” The base of Yunshan is the palace, and the place where she disappeared in the modern world is also at the base of Yunshan. If she searches the palace, she might find the time tunnel back. Zhang Xiangyang nodded, “Yes, Miss. With this, you can enter the palace and participate in the Imperial Guard selection. I will not disturb you further. See you in the palace!” Tang Lin wanted to know, “When does the selection start?” Zhang Xiangyang gave her the exact date, “Next month, the first day. Location: the Imperial Guard Training Base in the palace. With this invitation, someone will guide you to the training base!” “Oh, got it,” Tang Lin replied lightly, clearly not very interested in the selection. “I'll decide whether to go based on the situation!” “Alright then, I will take my leave. I hope to see you on the first day of next month!” After saying this, Zhang Xiangyang turned and left with a relaxed smile on his lips. He had the skill to control the stallion without harming the little boy, but he deliberately didn't, intending to draw out a talented person who could save the boy. He refused to believe he couldn't provide his master with an elite guard. Tang Lin glanced at Zhang Xiangyang's back, didn't linger, and took the invitation to the inn she had planned to go to earlier.
