Logging into the Game World Early and Starting with a Royal Marriage to the Empress

in the camp!

Everyone in the other camps looked puzzled, not understanding why Battalions A and B were acting like they were about to go to war early in the morning.

Xia Chen called Xia Hui aside and whispered in his ear. Xia Hui’s expression grew more serious as he listened, and in the end, all he could hear was Xia Chen saying,

Let’s split into two groups. We must be quick. If anyone dares to resist, shoot them on sight. But we must capture the key people and bring them back.

‘Yes, Commander!’

Inside the barracks, Xia Hui addressed Xia Chen’s position without calling him Young Master.

Xia Chen went to all the soldiers and said,

‘Company A will go with Brigade Commander Xia, and Company B will go with me!’

Xia Chen didn’t say anything else. The 200 Imperial Guards looked at each other in confusion, but no one asked what they were going to do.

Aside from letting them attack the palace, all they had to do was follow orders.

Xia Chen and 100 heavily armed Imperial Guards quickly rushed out of the Imperial Guards’ office and headed straight for Dongjie Street.

Young Master, what exactly are we doing here?

Xia Qian quietly ran up to Xia Chen and asked in a low voice.

No need to ask, you’ll find out in a moment!

Xia Qian shuddered, knowing that with his young master in such a mood, something big would definitely happen next.

Fifteen minutes later!

Everyone arrived at Dongzheng Street!

This street is the gathering place for teahouses and theatres in the capital, and can be described as the Dawu Cultural and Entertainment Centre.

Every year, the popular operas and storytelling performances ferment here first, and then spread to all parts of Dawu and even the whole world.

White Moon Tower!

Xia Chen stopped in front of this famous theatre in the capital.

Surround this theatre and don’t let a single fly out. If anyone ignores the warning and tries to break through, shoot them on sight!

Xia Chen’s stern and cold manner made the Imperial Guards shiver.

There were many powerful officials in the capital, and the White Moon Tower in particular was extremely famous. It was said that some members of the imperial family came here to listen to the music. If they really shot someone with a great background, that would be trouble.

But once they thought about where their leader came from, they didn’t hesitate for a second and quickly surrounded the entire White Moon Tower.

Inside the White Moon Tower!

On a huge, luxurious stage, all kinds of entertainers were performing.

Recently, a new opera called《The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks》had been released, and it was very popular with the city’s powerful and wealthy.

This opera was produced by their White Moon Tower, and was performed at least three times a day to satisfy the endless stream of powerful and wealthy people.

《The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks》is a love story, but the main character is the legitimate son of a marquis and the heroine is the princess of the Fox Tribe of the Eastern Wilderness. Originally, the world did not look kindly upon this, but in the end the protagonists overcame the obstacles and were secretly married.

This should have been a happy love story, but what made this opera special was the composer’s novel idea. Just when people thought that the fox princess and the nobleman would be happy together, the fox princess died, leaving all the opera-goers stunned. It was the first time they had seen an opera where the heroine died!

After that, the male protagonist turned evil and set out on a path of revenge to avenge the heroine…

This kind of setting was new to everyone, and it instantly captured people’s attention, making tickets for White Moon Tower’s《The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks》hard to come by.

‘Oh no! The soldiers have surrounded the White Moon Tower!’

Just as the plot was reaching its climax, servants from various noble houses rushed into the theatre, some entering the loft boxes, looking a little nervous.

The doors to the White Moon Tower were pushed open and the Imperial Guard, armed with swords, entered in an orderly manner.

There was immediate panic in the White Moon Tower, and no one understood what was going on.

‘Imperial Guard business, do not move, stay where you are! Otherwise, you will be beheaded on the spot!

Just as the White Moon Tower was about to descend into chaos, a loud shout came, which shocked everyone and sent them into a daze.

Xia Chen stood in front, while behind him, more than ten Imperial Guards drew their swords as he shouted, while on his side, crossbows and firearms were trained on the people in the hall, ready to fire at any sign of trouble.

Once these armour-piercing crossbows and firearms were activated simultaneously, even some experts would find it difficult to avoid being shot to pieces.

Some of the dignitaries, who were originally disturbed and displeased with their faces, instantly froze, and what they originally wanted to ask these officers and soldiers what they wanted to do was silently swallowed at the back of their mouths!

They began to sit down obediently.

Xia Chen’s gaze swept through the crowd and quickly locked onto the stage, where a handsome young man was standing in the centre, playing the male lead in《The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks》.

At that moment, the handsome young man’s gaze also surveyed Xia Chen, and their gazes collided.

‘What a handsome guy!’

‘Not really!’

The first thought was the handsome young man on the stage subconsciously looking at Xia Chen, while the second thought was of course Xia Chen himself. According to the information provided by Qingya, this actor was a handsome guy who had become famous in the capital with the recent release of《The Tale of the Mandarin Ducks》.

He was quite popular with some of the capital’s noblewomen, but now Xia Chen looked at his appearance and thought he was nothing special.

‘Take him!’

Xia Chen said nothing, pointing at the opera actor and speaking coldly.

Instantly, five Imperial Guards behind Xia Chen drew their long knives and, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, they moved with extreme swiftness and dexterity, reaching for the opera actor.

The opera performer’s face was grave. As soon as these soldiers and officers entered the arena, he knew something was wrong. And now they were coming straight for him, obviously recognising him.

This was no coincidence, they were coming for him.

Behind the opera actor, a martial arts character, looking at the charging Imperial Guards, did not hesitate for a moment and stood in front of the opera actor, using hidden weapons in the palm of his hand.

The five Imperial Guards quickly blocked with their long swords, while three more people struck behind the opera actor.

Suddenly there was a melee all over the stage.

The audience below were stunned at this point, and some of the blades from the hidden weapons struck right next to them, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.

They didn’t realise that these actors were all highly skilled in martial arts and had dared to attack the Imperial Guard, who were obviously targeting them as well. Their hearts trembled at the thought that they had just watched a group of murderers perform.

Attack!

Xia Chen’s face was calm and he did not panic at all in the face of this situation.

Suddenly, ten more experts attacked from behind him.

And at the door, more and more Imperial Guards were pouring in.

The opera actor stood in the middle of the stage, his heart sinking. His identity had been revealed and he would probably die here today.

Even if he managed to escape from the White Moon Tower, he would definitely alert the patrolling Imperial Guards and the Lamplighters hiding in the shadows.

Still, the opera actor was not ready to surrender.

In his sleeves were all sorts of paper man, some holding large knives, others long swords. These paper man suddenly grew rapidly in the air, as if they had come to life.

Soon, these paper man unexpectedly displayed considerable offensive power and began to clash with the Imperial Guard.
