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

Ye Chen looked at the imperial guards in front of him who were at a disadvantage, but he remained calm.

He knew very well that these rioters had been blocked from the front and back by the imperial guards, and as long as the imperial guards from the rear came over, they would be surrounded.

How could these people possibly stop them? Naturally, that fierce general couldn't hold on for long.

With such an absolute advantage, why would Ye Chen send people to fight with him with brute force?

"Notify the guards in front to raise their shields and block that guy!"

Ye Chen raised his hand and pointed at Wu Ba, speaking in a steady tone.

Although I know that I will win.

But Ye Chen would not let Wu Ba continue to show off his power.

As soon as he gave the order, the imperial guards raised their shields and rushed towards Wu Ba.

Wu Ba also found that something was wrong.

Although he led his men forward with his personal bravery, the other side also continued to fight forward, not only without any fear, but some even rushed forward with shields raised.

He swung his sword and chopped hard, but he couldn't repel the imperial guards who were pressing in close.

After he was blocked, the people who followed him forward suddenly lost their fighting spirit, and at the same time, the imperial guards behind him also surrounded him.

He suddenly became very anxious, at this moment.

"Swoosh!"

The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.

Wu Ba bent his waist almost instinctively and performed the Iron Bridge move. The crossbow arrow originally shot at him pierced the person behind him into a hedgehog.

"Break out! Follow me!"

Wu Ba glared at Ye Chen with resentment, but he also knew that if he risked everything, he would only face a catastrophe. So he decided to put aside revenge for the time being and break out with all his strength.

He forced away several imperial guards around him with a sword, turned around and ran, intending to lead his men to break out from behind.

But he didn't get far.

"Swoosh!"

Another burst of crossbow arrows came.

Wu Ba rolled over on the ground quickly, but the next moment, he suddenly felt a numbness in his legs, and fell to his knees with a "thump".

He pulled it out casually and actually pulled out a steel needle from his leg.

Then he felt dizzy and his eyes went dark.

"not good!"

Wu Ba bit his tongue hard. He realized that the situation was not good at the first time, but the numbness came very quickly. He bit his tongue and his mouth was full of blood. He was able to stay awake.

then.

Wu Ba stood up angrily and turned around, looking straight at Ye Chen with an extremely resentful look.

next moment.

Wu Ba rushed towards Ye Chen like a madman.

At this moment, he really didn't care about anything.

However, facing Wu Ba who was rushing towards him, Lin Ziyun stood with his hands behind his back, not taking him seriously at all. Several imperial guards came forward with shields raised, and with a bang, Wu Ba was directly pushed down by the imperial guards with their shields. But after rolling on the ground, he suddenly stood up again, reached into his arms, and took out a crossbow.

Wu Ba raised the crossbow, aimed at Ye Chen, and pulled the trigger.

And on the crossbow arrow that was shot out immediately afterwards, there was a bright purple color.

The arrow was obviously poisoned.

"Bury with me, you dog emperor!"

Wu Ba clenched his teeth, his face ferocious.

However, before the crossbow arrow he shot touched Ye Chen, a sword light had already passed in front of Ye Chen.

Split the crossbow arrow into two.

Shen Qiu looked at Wu Ba with cold eyes, holding a sword in front of Ye Chen.

At this moment, she felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, Ye Chen stopped him. Otherwise, it would be difficult to defend against the arrow that Wu Ba suddenly shot.

"Qiu'er, have someone chop off this thief's limbs! Drag him here!"

Ye Chen's face darkened slightly. He hadn't expected that he would almost fail.

Wu Ba seemed to be at his end before, but at the last moment he pretended to be pushed down by the imperial guards and then launched a sneak attack with a crossbow.

Such a vicious thought is really unexpected.

To deal with this kind of person, Ye Chen cannot be careless. He has to chop off all his limbs before he can interrogate him with peace of mind.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu immediately went to pass on the order.

At this time, Wu Ba's men had been surrounded and killed by the imperial guards, and no one came to protect him as the leader.

When Wu Ba saw that the situation was hopeless, he suddenly sneered and vomited blood. Then, with a "bang", he fell to the ground and did not move. An imperial guard hurried forward to check.

"Your Majesty, this man is dead."

The imperial guards came back and delivered the message.

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly.

"Qiu'er, interrogate those who surrendered thoroughly. Also, investigate the identity of this leader!"

A man with such skills.

The past will never remain unknown.

Ye Chen then said to Shen Qiu.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu immediately went to pass the order again.

Seeing that Wu Ba was dead, his subordinates lost all their fighting spirit and either fled or surrendered.

Seeing that the imperial guards had stabilized the situation, Ye Chen asked the carriage to take him to the cottage by the lake.

He planned to ask Boss Murong about it.

After all, this group of people were obviously coming for Boss Murong, and he might know the details of this group of people.

In addition, Ye Chen also wanted to see if anything happened to Boss Murong and Yu Niang.

When Ye Chen walked into the small house by the lake, Yu Niang, who had already received the news, came out to greet him.

At this moment, Yu Niang still exudes a mature and charming temperament, but there is a hint of panic on her pretty face.

No matter how strong she is, she is just a woman.

She couldn't remain calm when she suddenly found out that her home was almost broken into and even her life was threatened.

"Yu Niang, are you okay?"

Ye Chen walked up to Yu Niang and said in a gentle tone.

"No, it's okay."

Yu Niang looked at Ye Chen with mixed feelings in her eyes.

Such a huge crisis was resolved by Ye Chen.

This made Yu Niang feel as if she had someone to rely on.

"Where's Boss Murong? I need to talk to him about something."

Ye Chen said to Yu Niang again.

"Mr. Ye, please follow me."

Yu Niang nodded and led Ye Chen towards the attic.

At this time, the doors and windows of all the rooms in the attic were closed, and it was obvious that the girls had been ordered by Boss Murong to stay in their rooms.

Ye Chen also observed that many of the servants in the lakeside cottage were wearing leather armor and bamboo armor. Although this kind of armor was not as good as real armor, it was considered good armor among the people. After all, iron armor was banned.

Some servants also carried large bows on their backs.

"It seems that Boss Murong is quite well prepared. No wonder he's not afraid of retaliation from other brothels."

Ye Chen felt more and more that Boss Murong was extraordinary, and followed Yu Niang to the top floor of the attic and came to an inconspicuous room located in the corner.
