And at this moment.
Inside the carriage, Ye Qingcheng and the others also came to their senses.
"Mother, Grandmother, are you alright?"
After Ye Qingcheng and the Eldest Princess came to their senses, they immediately went to help the Empress Dowager and asked her with concern.
The Empress Dowager shook her head: "I am fine."
After saying that.
Her face darkened, and she looked out of the room, asking in a cold voice, "What's happening outside now?"
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, there is..."
"Everyone in the carriage, get off the bus!"
Before the coachman could finish speaking, a loud and arrogant voice reached their ears.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes slightly, stomped her dragon-headed cane again, and stood up.
The eldest princess, with a cold expression, also stood up and helped the Empress Dowager.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly and also stood up to help the Empress Dowager.
Immediately, Ye Qingcheng and the Eldest Princess helped the Empress Dowager out of the carriage, one on each side.
The first thing I saw when they stepped out of the carriage.
They were the first to see all the guards protecting their carriage in the middle.
This included Qinglian and Ningxin, as well as the two maids beside the eldest princess.
At this moment, the four of them, in perfect unison, stood guard on the left and right sides of the horse's hooves.
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
After seeing Ye Qingcheng and the Princess come out, the four of them each called out to their masters.
"kindness!"
Both of them nodded to their respective maids.
Then.
He stood on the horse's saddle and surveyed his surroundings.
They saw that there were forty or fifty people on the other side, all of them fierce-looking and holding sharp weapons, who surrounded them.
Furthermore, under Ye Qingcheng's careful scan, there were still dozens of archers in the dense forest, all holding bows and arrows and aiming at them.
She frowned slightly after she noticed.
Meanwhile, on this side...
The Empress Dowager did not notice the archers.
After scanning the group surrounding them, her expression turned cold, and she asked, "Who are you?"
"Ha, old woman, you walk the path we cleared, and you dare ask who we are?"
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, a one-eyed enemy soldier spoke with a mocking expression.
"You opened up this road?"
"That's right."
"How dare you! When did the path of my Great Xia become yours?"
"Hmph, this entire mountain belongs to my Sky Wolf Stronghold. Tell me, isn't this road ours?"
"How dare you! This is only the outskirts of the city, still within the capital, under the Emperor's nose! How dare you claim this mountain as yours? Are you bandits planning a rebellion?"
"Rebellion? Ha! Even if I wanted to rebel, what could you do about it?"
"Brothers, go! Carry all their valuables back to the village. Kill the men and tie up the women and take them back with you."
"Yes, Second Master."
"How dare you! Alas... I see you all have no desire to live."
"Oh my, old lady, you're so old, but I didn't expect your voice to be so strong. Looks like you've been fed and pampered every day!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's eyes turned cold.
Before the Empress Dowager could speak.
She looked at the one-eyed man and said coldly, "You'd better watch your mouth. If you dare to call me an old woman again, I guarantee I'll let you experience what it means to be subjected to all kinds of torture."
kindness?
Upon hearing Ye Qingcheng's words, the eldest princess paused, then looked at Ye Qingcheng.
At that moment, she never expected that Ye Qingcheng, who appeared so gentle, would say such things.
The one-eyed man on the other side also paused for a moment after hearing Ye Qingcheng's words.
His gaze then shifted to Ye Qingcheng.
I didn't know until I saw it, and when I did, I was shocked and stood there stunned.
His mouth was wide open, drool was dripping down, and he had an exaggerated expression.
kindness?
"Second Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, one of the henchmen next to One-Eyed asked in confusion.
Hearing the question, the one-eyed creature snapped out of its daze, closed its mouth, and wiped away the drool that was dripping down its face.
Then she exclaimed, "How beautiful!"
kindness?
His men were puzzled upon hearing this, but then followed his gaze and their eyes shifted to Ye Qingcheng and the Princess.
"Wow, Second Boss, we hadn't noticed until you mentioned it, but these two girls are really beautiful."
Several bandits looked at Ye Qingcheng and the princess, praising them with drool in their mouths.
"kindness!"
One-Eyed nodded, looking at Ye Qingcheng with a lewd grin.
"Quick, brothers, go! Take all the women back to the village and let the brothers have some fun."
"Yes, Second Master."
After the one-eyed man finished speaking, the dozens of people all grinned lewdly and responded in unison.
Then.
They all moved closer to Ye Qingcheng and the others.
"court death."
Upon seeing this, the eldest princess gave a cold shout and waved her arm.
"Eliminate everyone."
As the eldest princess spoke, her entire being exuded an imposing aura.
"It is Your Highness."
The guards protecting them all responded, their bodies radiating murderous intent.
"kill."
One of them shouted, and then that person bypassed everyone else and quickly rushed over.
However, before that person arrived, the dozens of people who had rushed over stood before him.
call out!
An arrow shot out from the dense forest and struck the guard directly.
ah!
The guard who was the first to rush out screamed and fell to the ground dead.
this…
Upon seeing this, the guards who were about to charge out immediately stopped in their tracks and stood frozen in place.
