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

in the village.

Ye Chen looked at the large number of light cavalrymen who were captured alive on the battlefield, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Although these Tatar cavalrymen may not look very impressive now, it does not mean that their potential is weak.

And they were indeed brave, many of them fought desperately to the end before being captured

"Although these Tatar cavalrymen seem vulnerable in this village, the situation may be different once we reach the grasslands."

Ye Chen pondered secretly, his eyes swept over the captives who were tied up, and his eyes became cold.

These survivors all looked embarrassed and dejected.

Many people's wounds are still bleeding, but they have lost their former majesty.

Ye Chen carefully observed these captured Tatar cavalry and Bingzhou cavalry, and it was easy to find differences from their hairstyle and language.

The Tatar cavalry had messy hair, and their hair accessories were mostly decorated with animal bones, feathers, etc., making them look rough and wild.

They spoke an obscure language, their voices were low and hoarse, like the roar from the wilderness.

The Bingzhou cavalry's hairstyles were more regular, often embellished with metal ornaments, making them appear more rigorous and orderly.

The two were divided into two groups, tied up tightly and made to kneel on the ground.

Ye Chen compared the two, and his evaluation of the Tatar cavalry dropped a few points.

"Although they have great potential, as of now, these Tatar cavalrymen are not as disciplined as the Bingzhou cavalrymen, and are even more brutal."

Ye Chen shook his head.

Then, he stood in front of the captured cavalrymen with a stern expression and sharp eyes.

He glanced over the men.

"Who sent you? Where are you from?"

Ye Chen first looked at the Tatars, his voice steady and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

However, he was met with silence.

Ye Chen repeated the question again, but still no one answered.

"Your Majesty, these Tatars probably don't speak Chinese yet."

Shen Qiu suddenly stepped forward and reminded him.

After all, she had lived in the northern border for a long time and knew more about the Tatars than Ye Chen.

Hearing this, Ye Chen was slightly startled, and then looked at the Bingzhou people among the captives.

"Tell me! Who ordered you to do this? If you tell the truth, I may give you a lighter sentence, but otherwise I will not let you off easily!"

Ye Chen said to those Bingzhou people.

His words were full of oppression.

But although those Bingzhou people were tied up, they still stood straight with an unyielding look in their eyes.

They clenched their teeth and said nothing.

One of them glared at Ye Chen, as if trying to express his determination with his eyes.

Ye Chen felt a little annoyed when he saw these people being so stubborn.

But the next moment, he turned his attention to the Tatars again.

"These Bingzhou cavalrymen are definitely Ding Wen's die-hards, and they're tough as nails. But these Tatars might not be as tough-talking as these Bingzhou cavalrymen. They probably just have a cooperative relationship with Ding Wen."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

Some of the Tatars opened their eyes wide, showing expressions of fear.

Some seemed a little panicked, looking around like trapped wild animals.

They were all obviously uneasy.

Ye Chen tilted his head slightly, his eyes falling on Shen Qiu, with a hint of anticipation in his expression.

"Qiu'er, do you speak Tatar?"

Shen Qiu immediately clasped his fists and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I do not speak Tatar."

Ye Chen frowned slightly, then asked, "Do you know anyone who can speak Tatar?"

Hearing this, Shen Qiu lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I know that Su Fu can speak Tatar."

After Lin Ziyun learned that Su Fu could speak Tatar, he planned to return to the capital to invite Su Fu to come. He would definitely be able to get key information from these Tatars and find witnesses to testify against Ding Wen, the governor of Bingzhou.

However, just as he was about to announce his return to the palace, a messenger suddenly ran up to him.

"Report!"

The messenger brought a letter.

Di Gui hurried forward to take it and looked at it, and his face changed immediately.

"Your Majesty, a large number of cavalry are coming here. This time, some of these cavalry are wearing armor. They are not all light cavalry!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly, and his expression immediately became a little solemn.

"These cavalrymen might be Ding Wen's backup plan. They must be here to rescue the captured people."

Thinking of this, Ye Chen's eyes revealed a hint of determination.

He resolutely ordered: "Leave only ten Tatars alive, and the rest will be Tatar cavalry and Bingzhou cavalry."

"kill!"

"Throw their heads out to me!"

Ye Chen wanted to intimidate Ding Wen and those Tatars. These guys were burning, killing, and looting in the capital area. It was really too much.

His voice was steady and powerful, full of imperial majesty and murderous aura.

As his order was given, the air around him seemed to freeze.

Shen Qiu, Di Gui and others were shocked when they heard Ye Chen's order.

"promise!"

Di Gui was the first to receive the order.

Shen Qiu's eyes became complicated when he looked at Ye Chen.
