Chapter 542 Take action immediately!
In the early morning, the sun shone on the tent where Ye Chen was.
Ye Chen smelled the fresh scent of grass, and his eyes opened immediately. He was not surprised at all by the unique atmosphere of this wild camp.
However, the next moment, he noticed something strange, a soft and warm weight pressing on him.
He lowered his head slightly, and what came into his sight was Zhen Jiaoxue's beautiful face.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, as if she had her own emotions in her dreams. Her pink cheeks were faintly flushed, like clouds in the sky.
Her black hair fell like a waterfall on the pillow, and a few strands of hair brushed playfully across her face, adding a bit of charm.
Ye Chen looked at her sleeping face, feeling a little pity in his heart, and couldn't bear to wake her up.
At this moment, Zhen Jiaoxue suddenly opened her eyes and met Ye Chen's eyes. She was stunned at first, and then a blush spread from her cheeks to her ears.
She bit her lower lip lightly and tried to get up but found that Ye Chen's arms were still around her.
"His Majesty……"
Zhen Jiaoxue's voice was as small as a mosquito.
Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his lips into an evil smile and reached out to pinch Zhen Jiaoxue's chin.
"Awake? Hurry up and dress me."
There was a hint of teasing in Ye Chen's tone.
Hearing this, Zhen Jiaoxue hummed in a coquettish manner. When she was about to get up, Murong Yan's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.
"Your Majesty, this servant is here to help you change your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Jiaoxue's body stiffened slightly, and a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.
Then, she hugged Ye Chen tightly and looked towards the tent door warily.
"Your Majesty, please let me take care of the changing of clothes."
Hearing this, Ye Chen laughed.
"Xue'er, Yan'er, come here and help me change clothes. This way it will be faster."
Ye Chen immediately stood up.
Murong Yan walked into the tent with light lotus steps. She had a graceful figure and was wearing elegant yet luxurious clothes.
Her beauty is comparable to Su Mengjiao's. Her delicate facial features are like carefully crafted works of art, and she has a unique noble temperament and unparalleled elegance.
She bowed slightly towards Ye Chen.
"His Majesty."
Zhen Jiaoxue looked at Murong Yan, her eyes becoming even more alert and her lips tightly pursed.
Murong Yan, however, looked calm and began to tidy up Ye Chen's clothes.
After finishing dressing, Ye Chen suddenly said to Zhen Jiaoxue, "Jiaoxue, you go down first."
Hearing this, Zhen Jiaoxue bit her lip, a trace of grievance and unwillingness flashed in her eyes.
She glanced at Murong Yan, then at Ye Chen, and finally bowed and stepped back.
Ye Chen then looked at Murong Yan: "Yan'er, you came so early, is there something important?"
His eyes became deep and majestic, and an imperial aura emanated unconsciously.
Murong Yan lowered her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I have already investigated and found that all the wealthy families around the capital have moved out in the past few days. The specific time is after Your Majesty stated that you would punish the Dong family and other wealthy families for their crimes."
Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Humph, these people run fast."
Ye Chen frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his deep eyes.
The simultaneous relocation of these powerful families was definitely not a coincidence; it must have been an organized action in response to his orders.
He then said with a serious expression, "Accept my grace, and convey my order to summon Liu Chengyu immediately."
Outside the tent, Cheng'en hurriedly bowed and replied, "This old slave obeys your command."
He did not dare to slack off and left in a hurry.
Soon, Liu Chengyu strode into the tent, knelt down, clasped his fists, and shouted, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
The voice is loud and powerful.
Ye Chen nodded slightly, looking at Liu Chengyu with lightning-like eyes.
"Liu Chengyu, I order you to immediately lead a detachment of elite cavalry to pursue those nobles who have not yet escaped the capital. Remember, pursue the largest convoys. Once you catch up, detain them."
Ye Chen's tone was unquestionable, and every word he said carried the domineering aura of an emperor.
Liu Chengyu clasped his fists and said, "As you command! Your Majesty, I wonder what you will do with him after we detain him?"
Ye Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression dignified: "Let Shen Qiu torture them severely and find out where they are moving to in Guanzhong."
Hearing this, Liu Chengyu felt the anger and majesty in Ye Chen's words, and his heart trembled: "I will definitely fulfill my mission. Your Majesty, don't worry, none of those powerful families will be able to escape!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly: "Go."
After Liu Chengyu took his orders and left, Ye Chen looked at Cheng'en again and said, "Cheng'en, send another imperial decree to Shen Qiu. Have her lead two hundred imperial guards and one thousand soldiers to enter Chang'an City immediately. First, take control of the city defense troops. Then, seize all the industries involved in those wealthy families. Then, conduct a thorough and rigorous investigation and collect evidence of their illegal activities."
These powerful families usually do whatever they want. If they want to run away this time, Ye Chen will uproot them.
"Old slave obeys the order."
After saying this, Cheng'en hurried off to convey the imperial edict.
Following Ye Chen's order, Liu Chengyu immediately mobilized a thousand cavalrymen after returning to the military camp.
The sound of horse hooves roared like war drums. Led by Liu Chengyu, the cavalrymen rushed out like a gust of wind, and the dust they raised was like a yellow dragon.
At the same time, after receiving the imperial edict, Shen Qiu immediately summoned the imperial guards and a thousand elite infantrymen.
The team marched quickly in the night and soon arrived at the city of Chang'an.
Shen Qiu took the lead and shouted to the guards on the city wall: "By His Majesty's order, open the gate!"
The guards did not dare to disobey, and the city gate slowly opened.
Shen Qiu led his army into the city.
The city defense army office was quickly taken under control.
Shen Qiu began to seal off restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses, and soldiers arrested shop owners and searched for illegal evidence!
A deputy general of the city defense army wanted to speak up for the arrested people, so he found Shen Qiu and shouted, "You don't have any evidence, so why are you arresting people so arbitrarily?"
Shen Qiu looked at the deputy general coldly: "I am following the imperial decree of His Majesty to investigate the lawless elements. If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!"
Upon hearing that it was an imperial edict, the deputy general dared not speak a word.
The entire Chang'an city was suddenly in a state of panic.
