Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 259 - 257: Lin Yi is Shot by an Arrow
Chapter 259: Chapter 257: Lin Yi is Shot by an Arrow
At the same time, the movements here naturally drew the attention of those over there; those dozens of men in black immediately turned their gaze toward this side, simultaneously raising the knives in their hands.
And the next moment, when Lin Yi leapt out of the carriage, he found that he was surrounded by a circle of men in black wielding long knives, who at this time were only revealing a pair of fierce eyes staring in his direction.
Seeing that Lin Yi was still alive and appeared unharmed, the remaining six guards were immediately overjoyed.
At the same time, a fighting spirit was reignited in their eyes, which had previously shown signs of despair.
Their waist knives were also raised in front of their chests, forming a protective circle around Lin Yi.
"Sir, later we will charge toward the left side. As soon as we tear open a gap in the crowd, you must escape to the outside immediately—do not look back."
The six guards watched the surrounding crowd warily and also spoke to Lin Yi in a low voice.
Although they were outnumbered, they believed it was still possible to break through if they charged with all their might in one direction.
The most important point was that these people were not using bows and arrows at the moment, which presented an opportunity.
It was expected that once they engaged in close combat with the enemy, it would be even less likely for the bows and arrows to be used since it’s easy to wound one’s own people amidst the chaos.
However, this plan was clearly not accepted by Lin Yi.
With a swish, Lin Yi drew his sword from his waist and swept a sharp gaze over the group of men in black, speaking in a deep voice:
"You all possess such a spirit of mutual aid? I am very gratified.
But I am not a person who clings to life and fears death, how can I abandon my brothers and flee alone?
If you treat me in such a way, then I shall regard you as my own limbs!
If the enemy is numerous and powerful, then let us brothers carve out a bloody path together!"
It must be said that Lin Yi’s words completely astonished the several guards.
What did they hear? Did they really hear that Lord Lin would fight with them and not escape alone?
But their status was merely that of lowly guards, how could their worthless lives be compared with that of a great man like Lord Lin’s?
For a moment, everyone felt an inexplicable warmth in their hearts.
This lord was clearly different from those other lords in usual days.
However, just at that moment, the group of men in black, under the signal of their leader, suddenly came charging towards them with long knives raised.
Clearly, they had no intention of letting these people escape or giving them a chance to break through.
Moreover, while these men in black were still at some distance from Lin Yi and his group, the leader amongst the men in black suddenly drew a Feathered Arrow.
He immediately notched the arrow to his bow and shot it toward Lin Yi’s side.
Accompanied by the sound of a whoosh, the Feathered Arrow flew over as if chasing the stars and the moon.
But at this very moment, Lin Yi was being guarded in the middle by the six guards, so the arrow could not truly harm him.
Instead, it was about to hit the guard leader Ma Gai who was in front of him!
The sudden appearance of this Feathered Arrow was naturally seen by Ma Gai.
But it was already too late to react, and he did not dare to dodge; if he avoided it, the arrow would surely hit Lin Yi.
However, just as he closed his eyes and waited for the deadly impact, he was suddenly pulled aside with great force. freёnovelkiss.com
Immediately afterwards, his vision blurred, followed by the sound of a thump.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that Lord Lin, who should have been protected behind him, had somehow ended up in front of him at an unknown point.
Not only that, but a Feathered Arrow was now embedded in Lord Lin’s back.
And then Lord Lin was violently pushed towards him by the force of the Feathered Arrow.
This scene instantly made Ma Gai’s eyes nearly split apart with bloodshot rage.
No matter what, he had never expected that in this critical moment, Mr. Lin would use his body to block this arrow for him.
In those unyielding tiger-like eyes, a mist seemed to be rising.
At the same time, he quickly opened his arms to release the force from Mr. Lin’s body.
He also couldn’t help but shout aloud:
"Sir!"
Unfortunately, no one responded to him, for at this moment Lin Yi had already tilted his head and closed his eyes.
And naturally, this scene was also witnessed by the other five guards nearby.
They too suddenly felt a mist rising before their eyes.
One by one, these strong men couldn’t help but choke up.
None of them had expected that Mr. Lin’s earlier declaration to fight shoulder to shoulder with them was no false statement, but a true act of taking an arrow for them.
How could these hot-blooded men bear this?
Watching the black-clad assailants closing in, these five guards finally found an outlet for the emotions in their hearts.
They fiercely protected Lin Yi and Ma Gai in the middle.
At the same time, they lifted their swords and charged at the black-clad assailants.
The mist in their eyes quickly turned into a bloody red.
They wanted revenge! To avenge Mr. Lin!
At this moment, in their minds, there was only one thought - vengeance!
This caused their fighting power to increase several fold.
For a moment, these five men were like five fierce tigers, forcing the oncoming black-clad assailants to drop their helmets and armor in retreat.
In the center of these five men, Ma Gai carefully laid Lin Yi’s body flat, a hot tear sliding down from his eyes:
"Mr. Lin, take your time in leaving! Once Ma Gai has slaughtered all these traitorous officials and rebels, I will come to join you.
Ma Gai owes you his life not just in this life, but will guard you throughout all eternity."
After saying these words, he slowly stood up, wiping away the wetness from the corner of his eye, then gripped the waist knife on the ground, his eyes filled with endless murderous intent.
In that moment, he seemed possessed by the Killing God, his presence rising to an unprecedented level, his body feeling as if it had boundless strength.
When he charged at those black-clad assailants, it was like a tiger bursting into a flock of sheep.
Any black-clad assailant who encountered him met with certain death!
In just a moment, his clothes were dyed red with fresh blood.
Not only that, even when facing the oncoming blades of the enemy, he didn’t dodge or flinch.
He would risk being hit by the enemy’s blade, just to deliver a strike in return.
And this action immediately drew the concentrated attack of the black-clad assailants.
