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

In the Zhen family camp, Zhen Shao's eldest son Zhen Guangzheng took Zhen Jiaoxue to inspect the carriage.

Zhen Jiaoxue was wearing men's clothes at this time, but she still couldn't hide her luxurious temperament and stunning appearance.

She frowned slightly, looking at the Imperial Guards camp still surrounding the Zhen family camp, and asked in confusion, "Brother, how are the Imperial Guards here trained? They look much more spirited than our own soldiers."

Hearing this, Zhen Guang's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "Little sister, you'd better go back quickly. It's still not safe here."

Zhen Jiaoxue, however, didn't take it seriously. She snorted and said, "What's there to be afraid of? If they wanted to attack me, they would have done it long ago. Besides, they are all government troops, not bandits. I don't believe they dare to do anything to me. Is there no law?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Guang agreed and stopped trying to persuade Zhen Jiaoxue.

At this time, Ye Chen brought Shen Qiu to the nearby area.

When he approached the Zhen family camp, the busy servants of the Zhen family stopped their work, looked at him in horror, and then scattered like a flash.

Ye Chen curled his lips. These people were now as scared as if they saw a ghost when they saw him.

He continued walking in the Zhen family's convoy for a while, and suddenly saw two young men in brocade clothes, who were obviously the descendants of the Zhen family. One of the young men looked extremely handsome and elegant.

Even her facial features are better than Su Fu's, and her skin is as white as porcelain.

Ye Chen raised his chin slightly and found that the two men were holding bamboo slips and brushes, and were obviously counting the goods and did not notice him.

He then stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of authority.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Zhen Guang suddenly turned around and saw Ye Chen.

In an instant, his face changed drastically and he hurriedly pulled Zhen Jiaoxue and tried to run away.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiaoxue's face turned pale, and she followed Zhen Guang and ran towards the Zhen family camp.

However, the next moment, a sword was already standing in front of the two of them, and they both stopped in their tracks.

Shen Qiu put away his sword and stood in front of the two men.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhen Guang turned around and bowed to Ye Chen, saying, "Zhen Guang, the eldest son of the Zhen family, greets you, sir."

"Zhen, the illegitimate son of the Zhen family, Zhen Xun, greets His Excellency."

Zhen Jiaoxue made up a name on the spur of the moment.

Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Why did he think the voice of this illegitimate son of the Zhen family was so nice?

This thing is not a woman, right?

Ye Chen was suspicious and began to observe carefully.

However, the other person had an exquisite face and skin as delicate as porcelain. His every move revealed the noble and superior temperament, and there was a sense of superiority in his eyes.

Is this a very proud person?

A very proud woman!

Ye Chen could almost conclude that this person was a woman.

At this time, Zhen Guang bowed and said, "Sir, we have just finished counting the goods and were about to return. I wonder what you want to talk to us about?"

"Nothing, I just thought you were suspicious and wanted to take you back for questioning."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Guang and Zhen Jiaoxue were suddenly shocked.

But he was obviously frightened.

Seeing this, Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

This is exactly the effect he wants. He wants to see the quality of these children from the noble families in the northern border.

Naturally, the intention is to create difficulties for these children from aristocratic families.

"Sir, you arrested people without reason and disregarded the law. Aren't you afraid of being investigated by the higher-ups?"

Zhen Guang asked in fear and anger.

"Not afraid."

"Sir, as a descendant of a noble family, I can be beheaded and bleed, but I absolutely cannot tolerate humiliation."

Zhen Guang stared at Ye Chen with a stubborn look, but his body was trembling.

Ye Chen glanced at Zhen Guang and smiled coldly.

Just from the expression on this guy's face at this moment, Ye Chen had already realized that this guy was just a loudmouth with a weak heart.

Not much ability.

"The highest official our ancestors held was a provincial governor, a high-ranking official. Furthermore, our Zhen family has been engaged in business for generations, and we have many connections. If you arrest us without reason, you will offend the Zhen family, and it will not benefit you either."

Zhen Jiaoxue's voice suddenly rang out.

Ye Chen was slightly stunned and looked at Zhen Jiaoxue with some surprise.

This girl disguised as a man is actually smarter than Zhen Guang.

"You go."

Ye Chen suddenly waved his hand. A smart woman and a stupid man. This stupid man was the eldest son of the Zhen family.

He had seen through the two men's true colors and let them go.

Zhen Guang and Zhen Jiaoxue were both very surprised. They didn't expect Ye Chen to let them go like this.

But after they came to their senses, they ran away quickly, fearing that Ye Chen would go back on his word.

"The Zhen family is the richest in Hebei, and even their eldest son is like this, the children of other wealthy families in Hebei should be similar."

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if you have wealth that rivals a country, but your children are not outstanding, there is nothing to worry about.

In the following three days, apart from asking Shen Qiu to send someone to get flour and paper, Ye Chen spent the rest of his time looking for opportunities to contact the children of the Zhen family.

However, most of the Zhen family members would send people to keep watch, and often when they saw Ye Chen from a distance, these people would run away.

During these three days, the news of the attack on the Zhen family convoy spread throughout the neighborhood like a gust of wind.

Three days later, Ye Chen heard that a large number of soldiers and horses were rushing towards him from the east.

He asked the imperial guards to inquire and found out that it was Cui Yong, the prefect of the nearby Yuyang City, who had arrived with a thousand soldiers.

Cui Yong is from the Cui family.

In response, Ye Chen just sneered.

And that afternoon, Ye Chen saw these thousand soldiers.

The thousand men were a mighty force, with infantry in front and cavalry on both sides, and their military appearance was quite neat.

The horses' hooves raised clouds of dust, and their momentum was fierce.

Ye Chen didn't care about this at all and went straight back to the tent.

At the same time, cavalry rushed into the Zhen family camp.

The imperial guards even deliberately made way for the cavalry to pass through.

And in front of these thousand soldiers and horses.

Cui Yong rode out of the battle formation on horseback, wearing sharp weapons and standing still with his sword drawn.

In the Zhen family camp, Zhen Shao and Cui Yan, who walked out of the tent, saw this scene and were both excited as if they had seen a savior.

The Zhen family members were even more excited.

However, before they could be happy for long, they heard bursts of drumbeats.

The sound of the drums echoed in the air like thunder, making people feel uneasy.

Everyone looked in the direction where the drum sound came from, and saw that dust suddenly rose in the north and a large army slowly emerged.

The armor was neatly arranged, the soldiers marched in unison, and the phalanxes formed into long dragons and rushed forward.

The people from the Zhen and Cui families were suddenly shocked.

Cui Yong, who was standing on his horse with his sword drawn, was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

The 10,000 elite soldiers who had been following Ye Chen had already arrived.

However, Ye Chen wanted to see what abilities these local nobles had, so he had these 10,000 elite soldiers lie in ambush nearby.

But now, Ye Chen gave an order in the tent.

The ambush troops were all dispatched.

Shock the whole audience!
