Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

After leaving Yingchuan Academy, Ye Chen got on the carriage and said to Qin Man, "Man'er, I will take you back to the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion first."

"Ah."

Qin Man nodded obediently, but there was a trace of reluctance in her heart.

Ye Chen turned his gaze to Shen Qiu beside him.

"Qiu'er, go find Niu San from the Ministry of Works after you return to the palace. I want to see him!"

Shen Qiu lowered his head slightly.

"Yes."

Then, Ye Chen turned his attention to the window.

Now, he is about to return to the palace. Logically speaking, it is time for the assassins to take action.

"Your Majesty, our people have been keeping an eye on the surroundings and have not found anything unusual."

Shen Qiu seemed to see what Ye Chen was thinking and asked.

"Tsk, let our people remain on guard. I don't believe they can hold back."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

He didn't believe that his judgment was wrong. If he was an assassin, he would definitely wait for an opportunity to strike.

At this moment, not far from Yingchuan Academy, in a private room on the top floor of a restaurant.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Qian Jie's expression became very cautious.

"are you sure?"

"There were three carriages leaving the palace?"

Qian Jie's voice was very low. The last assassination attempt failed, and Edward Yang had warned him that if it failed again this time, he could not afford the consequences.

"It's confirmed. There are three carriages in total, and all three have now left Yingchuan Academy."

Qian Jie's men said immediately.

"it is good!"

Qian Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Go and try to find out which carriage that dog emperor is in. This time, I want to do it myself!"

Qian Jie's face looked quite ferocious.

And his eyes were fixed on the street not far away.

At this time, three carriages were lined up with spaces between them, moving on the street.

The carriage Ye Chen was in was the smallest and least noticeable, and he was at the back.

Just as Ye Chen was waiting for the assassins to take action, suddenly, there was a commotion in front of the carriage.

Ye Chen frowned slightly and saw several strong men fighting in front of him.

"Your Majesty, do you need to send someone to get these people away?"

Shen Qiu suggested.

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"No, send someone to check the carriage ahead first to see if the same situation has occurred!"

Ye Chen said to Shen Qiu beside him.

His tone was calm and he was very composed.

And soon, someone sent back the message.

"Your Majesty, there was indeed a fight in front of the other two carriages."

Someone came to report the news soon.

Shen Qiu immediately said to Ye Chen.

"Heh, send someone to clear out those people who are fighting in front of the two carriages."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and sneered.

Shen Qiu quickly went to pass on the message.

The imperial guards, who had been hiding as civilians, immediately stepped forward and drove away all the people fighting in front of the two carriages.

Qian Jie, who had witnessed all this, suddenly had a deep look in his eyes. When his men came to report, he turned to them and said, "Is there no one taking action in front of the last carriage?"

"No."

"Okay, send some people to attack the second carriage first. If you are sure that there is no one in the second carriage, everyone will follow me to attack the last carriage!"

Qian Jie has already given the order.

The previous assassination attempt failed because he attacked the wrong carriage. Now, he had to make preparations for both situations.

Moreover, he felt more and more puzzled. Why did no one care about the third carriage?

Because there was no one inside.

Or is it because the people inside want to confuse him deliberately?

Qian Jie also felt that the probability of there being someone in the first carriage in front was too small.

At this moment, he didn't know how many people the emperor brought with him when he left the palace. He didn't dare to let his men be too dispersed, so he gave up attacking the first carriage.

And after he gave the order.

He also stood up and walked down the attic, and led his men to quietly approach the third carriage.

The three carriages were not far apart. When the second carriage was attacked, Ye Chen soon heard the noise. He suddenly opened the curtains and immediately saw that there was chaos around the carriage in front.

A large number of assassins dressed in ordinary people's clothes rushed over, and arrows and hooked chains were shot out at a rapid speed and landed on the carriage.

It was late at night and there was no one else on the street. Even the imperial guards disguised as civilians were hiding in secluded places. Therefore, no civilians were accidentally injured in this assassination.

The carriage hooked by the iron chain was quickly pulled over, and seeing this, Ye Chen's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Let the Imperial Guards take action and deal with these assassins for me. Put the surrounding area under martial law and conduct a thorough investigation!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, thinking that everything was under his control.

Shen Qiu immediately gave the order.

A large number of imperial guards immediately took action and rushed towards the assassins.

But that's it.

“Swish!” “Swish!”

A series of sounds of breaking through the air suddenly rang out.

Ye Chen was suddenly startled, and beside him, Shen Qiu's face changed. He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed an arrow that shot into the window.

"not good!"

Shen Qiu exclaimed and quickly protected Ye Chen and Qin Man behind him.

When Ye Chen lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage, he saw a large number of assassins dressed in civilian clothes surrounding his carriage.

At this moment, a large number of imperial guards had been sent out, and there were only a few dozen imperial guards left around Ye Chen's carriage.

"Qiu'er, take me out. You can't stay in the carriage. Let the surrounding imperial guards meet the enemy, and then order the other imperial guards to return for support!"

Ye Chen said immediately.

There were too many assassins coming up and the carriage was too easy a target, so he made a quick decision and had to leave the carriage.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu immediately grabbed Ye Chen and Qin Man and rushed out of the carriage.

The coachman also jumped off the carriage and drew his knife.

The dozens of imperial guards disguised as civilians now surrounded the carriage and faced the assassins.

"kill!"

The shouts and cries of killing were like thunder.

The assassins took out their weapons, and the iron chains broke through the air and suddenly hooked the carriage.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Shen Qiu shouted.

The imperial guards and the assassins then engaged in a bloody battle.

The imperial guards that had just been sent out also began to return at an extremely fast speed.

The carriage that Ye Chen had just left was pulled down by the assassin in an instant.

At the forefront of the assassins, Qian Jie, wearing a nightgown and holding a big axe in his hand, led the charge and fought hard.

"Come on, come on, kill the emperor! Kill the dog emperor!"

Qian Jie's eyes were red and he looked crazy. He had already given it his all.

As he personally led the charge, nearly a hundred assassins fought desperately. The dozens of imperial guards surrounding the carriage did not hold out for long before they were completely dispersed.
