Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 257 - 255: Lin Yi Attacked

However, what this sentence brought was a cold look from Zhao Heng.

Then the terrified official shuddered all over, shrank his neck, and dared not say another word.

But the official did not see that at the moment when Zhao Heng turned around, a chilling murderous intent flashed through his eyes.

Speaking of Lin Yi at this moment, he was leading a group of men, escorting weapons, heading towards Nanshan Base.

However, the more he thought about it during the ride in the carriage, the more he felt something was amiss.

He felt that today’s events had something very peculiar about them.

Everything was going too smoothly, so smoothly that it made him increasingly uneasy.

He lifted the curtain beside him, glanced outside at the carriage team, and after seeing that all was calm, he sat back down inside the carriage.

But after sitting down, he started to feel a sense of inexplicable panic in his heart.

This feeling grew stronger, even causing the corner of his eyes to twitch uncontrollably.

"Left eye twitches for wealth, right eye for calamity.

Damn it, why does this right eyelid keep twitching non-stop?"

While muttering to himself, Lin Yi snapped off a small piece of bamboo slice from the bamboo curtain beside him.

After dabbing it with some saliva, he directly stuck it onto his eyelid.

However, this remedy was not as effective as hoped.

As his right eyelid twitched even more, Lin Yi became increasingly irritable inside:

"Where are we now? How far is it to Nanshan?"

As Lin Yi’s voice passed through the carriage to the outside, instantly, the guiding guard responded:

"Answering your honor, we have already traveled halfway, Wild Boar Ridge is just ahead."

Hearing this, Lin Yi’s heart instantly skipped a beat.

Wild Boar Ridge was not a good place at all.

With high sides and a lower middle, if there were ambushes on both sides, the road through the middle would definitely be very dangerous.

If it were a military expedition, this place would certainly be an excellent spot for laying an ambush.

This also made Lin Yi always cautious when passing through here in the past.

No wonder he was so careful; after all, these times were chaotic, and mountain bandits were everywhere.

Even near the Capital City, it could not be avoided.

"Tell everyone to be on high alert, and also hang out the Left Martial Guard’s flag!"

Normally speaking, the Left Martial Guard belonged to the Forbidden Army; if bandits saw such a flag, they would definitely not dare to act rashly.

As Lin Yi’s words fell, immediately, the entire team sprang into action.

Not only did Lin Yi’s carriage hoist the Left Martial Guard’s flag, but even each of the carriages transporting weapons behind him also had the Left Martial Guard’s flags mounted.

Thus, the entire caravan suddenly looked imposing.

Anyone looking would clearly see that this was not a team to be trifled with.

Furthermore, each soldier also drew out their weapons, each one on alert for any movement around them.

Seeing everyone’s vigilant demeanor, Lin Yi’s heart was slightly settled.

He wanted to send someone to scout inside the ridge first, but the manpower right now was indeed insufficient.

With the thirty-some people he brought, besides the dozen or so driving the carriages, there were only less than twenty left.

These twenty people were now closely guarding around the carriages.

"Sir, we are about to enter Wild Boar Ridge."

Although his right eyelid was still twitching, Lin Yi dared not delay.

After all, it was getting late, and if they didn’t hurry, they might not reach Nanshan Base before dark.

Certainly, the speed of the horse-drawn carriage carrying weapons and armor was really slow.

If they didn’t arrive at Nanshan by nightfall, it was very likely that some unexpected dangers could occur.

Firstly, not to mention whether someone might launch an attack, or mountain bandits might come to rob.

The main concern was that after night fell and it became pitch dark, it was time for various animals to come out for food. free𝑤ebnovel.com

By then, if two tigers were to appear, it would be more than enough for them to handle.

Usually, Lin Yi would only bring a guard team of ten people, but for safety’s sake, he has now brought over thirty people.

But now it seems, these thirty or so people still seem insufficient.

However, there was no helping it, as his authority to deploy troops was limited to this extent.

More soldiers had to guard the Royal Glass Shop.

"Let’s go, everyone speed up, and let’s get through Wild Boar Ridge as soon as possible."

Following Lin Yi’s command, the entire convoy quickly picked up the pace.

Even though the guard driving the carriage kept urging the horses, the carriage’s speed still did not increase much.

There was no helping it, as the weapons were far too heavy, and the road was rugged and difficult to navigate.

Certainly, except for Lin Yi who was extremely nervous, the surrounding soldiers did not feel the same.

Although they did raise their vigilance according to Lord Lin’s request, they didn’t take it too seriously.

After all, they had traveled this road not just once or twice, and today, they had significantly more people than usual.

So, they believed that no minor thugs would dare to cause trouble.

Accompanied by the creaking sound of the carriage wheels, the squad slowly advanced towards the middle of Wild Boar Ridge.

Sitting inside the carriage, Lin Yi felt his right eyelid twitching more intensely.

This kept his brow consistently furrowed.

He took a few deep breaths to adjust his mindset.

Then he pulled down the curtains on both sides of the carriage’s glass windows.

However, just as he let the curtains down, he felt an inexplicable jolt in his heart.

For some reason, he instinctively lay down inside the carriage.

And the moment he bent down, he suddenly heard a buzzing friction sound.

At the same time, there was a bang, and an arrow pierced through the back of the carriage.

Then with a thud, it nailed itself in the spot where he had just been sitting.

The arrowhead buried itself inside the carriage, leaving only an arrow shaft and the feathers at the back trembling, emitting a buzzing sound.

This sudden turn of events gave Lin Yi a huge scare.

He had just narrowly escaped death!

Had he not instinctively reacted and lay down inside the carriage,

Perhaps at this moment, the arrow would not only be nailed in the carriage...
