Special Forces Empress has arrived! Talents! Talents ah! (2 more updates)

  After the bow, Tang Lin enthusiastically waved at the ten people and said, "Hey, nice to meet you, please take care of me?"

  "Mao Xiaozai, where did you pop out from?" Among the ten people, a fifty-year-old man with a beard pointed at Tang Lin's eyebrows and asked in a slightly angry tone.

  Tang Lin replied quickly, "Me? I'm just one of the tens of thousands of contestants, Officer. You're asking something too low-level."

  "What?!" the general who had spoken earlier exclaimed, "You're actually a contestant?! Didn't you leave with someone else?! How are you alone here?! And also, how did you recognize us as generals?"

  Tang Lin furrowed her brow and said, "All the contestants have already left the forest. I've counted the captured generals, and there are only ten of you left. I thought this was the easiest place to leave the forest, so I came here. I didn't expect to run into a few more generals - what luck!"

  A general sighed: "We thought we were clever enough with ten of us, but unexpectedly the younger generation is even more clever than us?"

  Tang Lin smiled, then waved his hand to the side, "Those few generals, please leave the imperial forest with me. I have a bet with His Majesty, if I lose, I will no longer be free in the future, thank you, thank you?"

  These generals were quite straightforward and came down from the stone one after another, then stood in front of or beside Tang Lin's shoulders.

  A general pointed to the sky and asked with some complacency, "Little brother, it's not even half a time yet, do you have the ability to leave this place?" He probably thought Tang Lin had no way of leaving the Royal Forest.

  Tang Lin's mouth curled up with a mysterious smile, she glanced at the watch in her hand, time was running out, but she had calculated how much time it would take to return to the endpoint. "Several generals, just follow behind me and that will do?"

  "A general said: 'Then please, we were just waiting for you to take out'."

  Tang Lin didn't immediately head into the mountain forest, but instead walked to the edge of the stream and stared at the water. After a while, she turned around, started counting from the beginning, "One, two, three," then said to the martial generals she had counted, "I only brought seven people out, the remaining three... would you mind staying here?"

  The three generals left behind couldn't guess what Tang Lin was going to do. One of them asked, "Little brother, why did you leave the three of us behind?"

  Tang Lin's words were heavy with meaning: "I won't hide it from the three generals, I have three friends who are still trapped nearby. If they come later, would you be willing to admit to them that you are the prey? In order to ensure their timely return to the finish point, I hope the three generals can personally escort them out through a shortcut? I know there is a shortcut, and it's half the speed of the one you're taking to reach the east entrance."

  "What?! Everyone was shocked, they couldn't believe that they had actually heard such "outrageous words" with their own ears.

  The general was shocked and asked: "Young brother, what did you just say? Do you know a shortcut? And it's even faster than the one we know?"

  Tang Lin nodded, "Yes?"

  The general did not believe it and said: "Then tell us about the shortcuts you know."

  Tang Lin faced the stream and analyzed: "If it's not a small mistake, after the competition ends, you should be going out along this stream? As long as you follow this stream to the fork in the road, on that side, you can see two streams, and you will definitely step onto the one heading east and walk straight, soon entering a bamboo forest. As soon as you exit the bamboo forest, you'll see the eastern entrance, the final destination of the first round of competition! Is my analysis correct?"

  A general looked at him in surprise and said: "This is your first time here, how did you know there was a fork in the river over there?"

  Tang Lin smiled slyly and pretended to be foolish, "What are you talking about?"

  "Unlikely," said the general.

  Tang Lin said: "It's getting late, please trouble the seven generals who haven't been called to come with me. If I don't arrive at the terminal station first, then my bet with the Emperor will be lost? I can't lose?"

  A general chuckled and said, "You still have a bet with the emperor? I really can't see that you're so young, but your skills are quite impressive?"

  Tang Lin smiled, "Thanks to the general's kindness? Those few generals, please follow me," Before leaving, he instructed the three generals who stayed in place, "Three generals, I'm counting on you, be sure to send my friend out, and you will see the shortcut I found, take a good look, otherwise next time you won't be able to bring my friend back to the finish line on time?"

  After finishing, under the follow of ten generals, Tang Lin walked to a mountain wall beside a stream. She looked at the mountain wall for a few eyes, finally, she turned a round stone on the mountain wall, only as big as an egg, immediately, the mountain wall opened a stone gate.

  Under the bright sky, there was a switch on the mountain wall. Tang Lin's action stunned all the generals.

  "Which general said, 'There is actually a passage here?'"

  Tang Lin smiled quietly, the more low-key she was, the more people felt that she was unfathomable, as if she were the mountain spirit protecting this imperial forest, knowing where the exit was.

  Next, the seven generals walked into the passage in the mountain wall. As Tang Lin walked in, he waved his hand to the three generals at the stone gate, "Three generals, sorry for keeping you waiting for a while, we're leaving now, see you later?"

  Tang Lin finished speaking and walked away with the seven generals through the passage, without closing the stone gate of the passage. She wanted to leave it open so that the remaining people could return as soon as possible.

  This passageway inside the mountain wall is only two or three mountains long. Walking straight to the end will reach the terminal station.

  Not far from the stone gate, Tang Lin walked straight ahead. Because it was very dark inside the passage and there was no light at all, she opened her mobile phone which had already replaced the battery, using its weak light to illuminate the ground of the passage, walking straight in.

  After walking for a few minutes, someone couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, how did you know there was a passageway carved out by our ancestors here?"

  Tang Lin said as he walked: "Because the Royal Forest, in our time, was a place for our troops to conduct military exercises and train special forces. This Royal Forest, I've long been familiar with it, what's in every corner, I can say without thinking?"

  The people behind him couldn't understand Tang Lin's words, so they changed the question. "Walking on the mountain forest above and walking this path seems to take the same amount of time, why don't you walk on the upper road?"

  "Am I stupid?" Tang Lin said directly: "Do you think I don't know that we are very close to the finish line now? Except for me, all the contestants have been fooled by the Emperor. In fact, we haven't left the terminal station far away at all. The place where we were just standing in front of the stream is actually only a distance of two or three mountains away from the finish line. As long as you walk out of these two or three mountains, you can see the Emperor directly. However, these two or three mountains are densely covered with Bagua arrays, Qiankun arrays, and various array patterns. Even if someone has high logical ability, they cannot break through each array successfully and walk out. Every tree can make people dizzy and turn around in circles, and finally return to the original place. Another point is that any marks left on the trees by the contestants are quietly erased by the generals among the contestants. As soon as a contestant marks a sign, a fake contestant erases it immediately. With various array obstacles and generals making trouble underground, even the smartest person would be fooled. So, walking this way now, you can see the finish line in less than 15 minutes?"

  "Hush," behind Tang Lin, it was a burst of whispers.

  "Talents? Talents?"

  "Has General Zhang ever given Your Majesty an invincible weapon? Previously it was because the time had not yet arrived, but now this weapon... has appeared?"

  "This is the pillar of the country, our good fortune in the Imperial Court?"

  Tang Lin's words of analysis made all the military generals look at her with admiration and praise, lavishing her with compliments.

  Tang Lin didn't slow down, but instead continued to move forward. She couldn't afford to slow down just because of others' praise. However, being praised by so many people as if she were a god, her heart was still filled with happiness that made her want to fly up to the sky.

  She knew the place like the back of her hand. In modern times, Yunshan was a military training base with a vast area. Now in ancient times, Yunshan was an entire region within the imperial capital. The Imperial Palace, including the Royal Forest, was at the foot of Yunshan and served as a combat zone for military exercises.

  However, in the future Yunshan, there is no imperial palace this castle, as if it had evaporated. In the future Yunshan, not a single brick or tile of the imperial palace remains, but the original appearance of the royal forest has not changed at all.

  The moment she was led into the royal forest with her eyes covered, she felt a sense of familiarity, a long-forgotten familiarity, as if she had returned to a place where she used to appear frequently.

  Yes, her feelings were right? When she opened her eyes to see the familiar trees and formations around her that she could quickly decipher, there was an indescribable joy in her heart, but at the same time, a subtle sourness was also emerging.

  If she wasn't mistaken, when she was helping the contestants in the Royal Forest, her modern colleagues were also performing a wilderness competition in this forest. They were in the same forest, but separated by time and space.

  She really misses her days in the special forces...

  Unconsciously, tears had already overflowed from her eyes and slid down her cheeks. Tang Lin sniffled, smiling as she wiped away the tears on her face, encouraging herself in her heart, "Tang Lin, you're doing great, don't become weak just because of changes in time and space?"

  At this time, the end of the road had been reached. Walking further forward, there was no more road, only countless rays of light shining down from the stone crevices above.

  Next to it was a stone ladder, Tang Lin stopped and looked at the time, there were still more than ten minutes before the competition ended. As long as he walked up the stone ladder, opened the cover on the ground, and walked out, he could see the emperor's camp thirty meters away.
