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

Between Lantian and Hexian

The Dayuan convoy was slowly moving through the valley. There were more than a hundred people in the convoy, most of whom were cavalry. They were not wearing armor and had a small number of soldiers.

Direza rode his horse among the caravans.

She was wearing soft armor, and had a tall and graceful figure. The unique and strange costume of Dayuan Kingdom set off her charming figure.

As a princess, she couldn't get used to staying in a carriage.

The national conditions of Dayuan were different from those of Dayu.

In her opinion, women are no worse than men, and she even longs to lead an army into battle.

Seeing Direza like this, the Dayuan envoy Maimaiti hurried forward and said, "Your Highness, you'd better return to the carriage. If anything goes wrong, we will be held responsible."

Direza flicked the whip lightly, raised the corner of his mouth, and said: "Maimaiti, don't try to persuade me. I am not like those delicate women in Dayu who only know how to hide in the carriage."

Hearing this, Mai Maiti's face showed anxiety: "Your Highness, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Women from Dayu do not show their faces in public. We should also abide by their rules when marrying them."

"Humph!"

Direza snorted lightly and did not comment.

Just as Maimaiti was about to persuade them earnestly, there was a sudden deafening sound of drums beating on both sides of the convoy.

A large number of killers wearing night clothes with their mouths and noses covered appeared from the heights on both sides, and many huge stones were thrown down.

As a large number of stones fell like raindrops, countless arrows whistled towards the convoy of Dayuan envoys. This sudden attack caused the convoy to fall into chaos.

Direza's eyes, originally full of wildness and confidence, were instantly replaced by panic, and her tall and graceful figure was a little unstable on the horse's back.

Maimaiti hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness, don't panic, we will protect you!"

The surrounding cavalry quickly gathered around, protected the princess in the middle, and then quickly retreated.

However, both ends of the convoy were blocked by rocks.

The Dayuan cavalry gritted their teeth and risked their lives using their shields to block the locust-like arrows while struggling to move the stones blocking the road.

At this moment, a large number of killers rushed down like a tide. Although they were wearing civilian clothes, the shining steel knives and spears in their hands revealed deadly danger.

Maimaiti was extremely anxious. He shouted to Direza, "Your Highness, run first and cover your Highness!"

But the killers have already come down.

The stones blocking the exit have not been removed yet.

The situation has become extremely critical.

At this moment, Direza's face was pale, his lips were trembling slightly, and his heart was full of panic.

Looking at the Dayuan soldiers who kept falling down to protect themselves, her heart was filled with pain.

The Dayuan soldiers surrounded her tightly, using their horses to block falling rocks and arrows, and waving their weapons to fight desperately with the killers rushing down.

However, there were so many killers that the Dayuan soldiers suffered heavy casualties. In a blink of an eye, seven or eight out of ten were killed.

Direza looked at the tragic scene, tears welling up in her eyes, and she held the sword tightly in her hand.

If I really cannot escape, I would rather commit suicide than fall into the hands of these people and be humiliated.

Direza thought so.

At this time, even Maimaiti's left leg was hit by an arrow. He fell to the ground, but still shouted to the princess: "Your Highness, run quickly! Cover Your Highness and run!"

The stones at the exit of the valley were finally moved away.

However, what poured out from the exit was another large number of killers.

At this moment, Direza was completely desperate. She felt that the shadow of death was looming over her step by step.

But at this critical moment, a loud trumpet sounded like the dawn of hope, suddenly breaking through the desperate atmosphere.

Immediately afterwards, the harsh sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out from both sides of the valley.

The sound was getting closer and closer. Direza widened his eyes and looked nervously in the direction where the sound came from.

A large number of cavalrymen rushed into the valley like a surging tide, and the dust raised by their horses' hooves covered the sky.

The assassins who were besieging the Dayuan envoys were almost instantly defeated by this sudden attack.

The cavalry's charge was unstoppable. Not only did it sweep across the valley like a hurricane, but a large number of cavalry also jumped off their horses with nimble postures, rushed to the heights like agile cheetahs, and began to hunt down the killers all over the mountains and plains.

On a high ground not far from the valley, Ye Chen rode on a warhorse, his eyes cold and determined.

He looked at the cavalry who had already charged into the valley, opened his lips slightly, and uttered a few words coldly.

"To the people who ambushed the Dayuan delegation."

"Kill without mercy, leave no one alive."

Ye Chen's voice was not loud, but it revealed unquestionable majesty.

Under the attack of the cavalry, the killers were completely defeated and had almost no power to resist.

After a while, the battle came to an end.

Then, under the protection of Shen Qiu, Ye Chen slowly walked towards the convoy of the Dayuan envoys.

At this time, out of the more than one hundred people in the Dayuan caravan, only thirty were left alive.

Direza's eyes widened, filled with panic.

Just now, she was driven to the point of despair by the killers and even wanted to draw her sword and commit suicide.

But now, the killers who forced her were hunted down and killed. This huge contrast made her unable to react for a while.

Ye Chen dismounted from his horse, his brocade robe fluttering in the wind, and every movement he made revealed an innate dignity and majesty.

He walked up to the envoys from Dayuan with steady steps.

Direza couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at him carefully, only to find that the person in front of him had an extremely extraordinary aura.

That stern face seemed to be carved with a knife, and his deep eyes revealed a confidence that he was in control of everything.

At Ye Chen's command, thousands of riders moved together. The majesty and dominance they displayed left a deep impression on her.

After Ye Chen stood still, he said in a steady and powerful voice, "I am the commander of His Majesty's Imperial Guards. I have come to escort you to the capital. Don't worry, with me here, no assassins will harm you."

After hearing what Ye Chen said, Direza was obviously relieved.

Mai Maiti's face also showed gratitude. He also struggled to stand up and said, "Sir, thank you for arriving in time, otherwise we would have died here today."

Direza also bowed slightly and said, "Sir, thank you for saving my life."

As she spoke, her eyes still did not move away from Ye Chen.

Then, Ye Chen escorted the Dayuan convoy slowly out of the valley.

But at this moment, Direza suddenly rode his horse to Ye Chen's side.

"My lord, I have something to tell you."

Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on Direza.

Direza is wearing soft armor, which makes her tall and graceful figure look even more heroic and sexy.

However, his deep blue eyes and high nose bridge indicate that he is not a Dayu person.

But that long black hair is extremely eye-catching.

Mixed race?

What a nice view.

Ye Chen stared at Direza and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

The foreign female stars in later generations are not much inferior to her!
