Chapter 164 Chapter 164 Replaced, better than the original mistake...
Chapter 164
Lin Zhiyi reacted quickly and swiftly, leaning back 180 degrees against the horse's back to avoid the first attack. Then, she placed her hands on the horse's back and pulled her wooden umbrella shield from her bag, suddenly opening it to shield herself from the second attack.
Thanks to A Yue who always took her to practice martial arts and exchange ideas, and the original owner's own physical fitness and martial arts foundation were also very strong, she maintained her original level and strengthened her expertise in some aspects.
The incident happened in a flash.
Zhou Mingyan had already drawn the bow and arrow in his hand and shot it at the killer.
But the distance was too close, and the killer's reaction was quick enough. He gave up on Lin Zhiyi and instead attacked Zhou Mingyan.
Lin Song and Ji Feng both used long swords. They reacted a little slowly, but they also waved their swords to knock down several poison needles.
But the killer was among them, and their men were all around, so it was inevitable that some people or horses would be injured.
Lin Zhiyi jumped off the horse, patted its butt, and let the horse go first.
After all, the horse's body is too big, and it may be hit by the poison needle if it is not careful.
Ma was able to escape danger just now because the opponent mainly attacked her chest and abdomen.
If the opponent reacts and shoots the horse first, it will be bad.
Lin Zhiyi had a relatively slender frame, and despite her height, she was able to curl up and hide behind the wooden umbrella. She was also able to pull Zhou Mingyan behind the wooden umbrella shield to avoid attacks together: "Mingyan, be careful of his poison needle."
Then she shouted, "Everyone, be careful of his poison needles! Spread out!"
Everyone spread out in a well-trained manner, and most of them let their horses run forward first.
This way we can save a group of horses.
"Your Highness the Prince Consort and Young Master Zhou, please go first!" Some guards stood between the killer and Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan, forming a human wall to prevent the killer from getting close and giving him no chance to launch a sneak attack.
There were also some guards fighting against the people brought by the killer.
Lin Zhiyi and Zhou Mingyan hid under the wooden umbrella shield and did not retreat immediately. One tried to use his sleeve arrow to help, while the other re-hung the bow and aimed at the fake Ye Changning.
Unexpectedly, the opponent was very cunning. He mixed in with the guards, and his moves were strange and ruthless, like a swimming fish. He was not afraid of being besieged at all, let alone being attacked by surprise - after all, if he just dodged casually, the ones who were affected would most likely be the guards.
Lin Zhiyi gave up the sneak attack and decided to rescue the wounded.
I don't know what kind of poison the other party used, and whether there is any hope...
Zhou Mingyan didn't dare to leave her alone, so he naturally followed her.
There were more than ten killers on the other side. In addition to the three killer brothers and the seven hired followers, there were thirty people lying in ambush.
——And they are all people from the underworld.
Those evil organizations that are not controlled by the government.
The regular guards had never seen such a scene before. The enemy frequently used secret tactics, such as poison or smoke, and even dared to risk their own arms for their lives, and they acted without mercy.
In addition, the attackers confronted Ye Changning, and the incident happened suddenly, so they were at a disadvantage, and the number of injured people in the team continued to increase.
Although they were only minor wounds, they could not withstand the poison used by the opponent.
Once the internal force is activated, the poison will take effect faster.
After checking on the first fallen guard, Lin Zhiyi decisively warned, "Don't engage head-on! Be careful of the poison they use! Capture the fake Ye Changning first! It's more important for the other injured to save their lives! Those who are not injured should take the injured with them and retreat first!"
As soon as she gave the order, the guards, who had been in a panic for a moment, quickly reorganized and redistributed themselves. Some of them even stood in front of her and Zhou Mingyan to protect them.
The two sides gradually fell into a stalemate.
Some of the killers were injured. In order to protect Lin Song, Ji Feng was stabbed in the back and was temporarily unable to capture the thief.
Zhou Mingyan saw that this was not a solution, so he said to Lin Zhiyi, "Xiuyuan, protect yourself. I'm going to meet that imposter!"
Lin Zhiyi also warned him: "You should be careful too, don't get hurt. Do you want an umbrella?"
Zhou Mingyan: "No, just use it to protect yourself." Then he instructed the three guards beside him, "Be sure to protect the prince consort. If I can't defeat you, retreat as soon as possible."
Lin Zhiyi: "The secret guards should be here soon, please hold on a little longer."
"rest assured."
Zhou Mingyan jumped out. He was on guard. The opponent's poison needles could not get close to him for the time being. Although there was still poisonous smoke, the killers were within the radiation range of the poisonous smoke after all, so the opponent used it very cautiously.
In addition, the fight had been going on for a while, so the poisonous smoke had dissipated a lot.
This was initially beneficial to Zhou Mingyan.
While Zhou Mingyan and the guards who were not injured or poisoned were fighting the three killer brothers, the other guards successfully evacuated with their injured companions.
Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. At the moment, he just hoped that Zhou Mingyan could successfully catch the person who used the poison so that he could detoxify the guards.
While watching the battle, she rummaged through her bag and finally found a useful item - a miniature crossbow that was so lifelike, painted in various colors. She had originally made it for the sake of beauty, as a model, but now she could pretend it was poisonous to scare the enemy.
Now the melee over there was gradually becoming clearer. She aimed at the tallest of the three killer brothers and pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
Because it was a mini crossbow, although it was larger than a needle, it was still much smaller than an ordinary arrow. The killer boss was big and could not move as flexibly as others, so he was shot in the arm, screamed in pain, and jumped out of the battle circle.
"Brother!" The three killer brothers were very concerned about him.
Lin Zhiyi thought to herself that it was a success, she had hurt an important person on the other side!
Then there is something to talk about!
"If you still want your eldest brother to live, stop immediately! My crossbow is also coated with poison!" Lin Zhiyi shouted.
The three assassins exchanged glances and tacitly stopped. The second assassin stepped forward—the fake Ye Changning. He pulled out a small red bottle and placed it in his palm. "Here's the antidote to the poison in your body. Let's exchange it."
Just as Zhou Mingyan was about to take the antidote from his palm, the other party closed his palm and said to Lin Zhiyi, "Prince Consort, please."
Zhou Mingyan: "He won't be so foolish as to fall into our trap. Your eldest brother is more important to you. Our Prince Consort is unharmed. Even if we lose a few guards, as long as we can ensure that the Prince Consort is safe, there will be no problem. This deal is up to you."
"It's said that the Prince Consort is the most loyal, the most understanding of the people's feelings, and treats his subordinates well. I see that he is fearless in the face of danger, and he would not abandon the injured guards to escape first. It shows that he is a responsible person. If so, why not take responsibility to the end? In the future, these guards will work even harder for you. Because you care about them, you will protect them. Don't you agree, Prince Consort?"
Lin Zhiyi admitted that what the other party said hit the nail on the head.
She couldn't abandon these companions and go away on her own.
Moreover, if she really went alone, she didn't know if she could get out.
Does the enemy have an ambush somewhere else?
Or did he have a trick up his sleeve, just waiting for her to fall into his trap?
She stood up holding an umbrella, and several guards quickly stood in front of her, shielding her tightly.
Lin Zhiyi: "How do I know you didn't lie to me? Is the antidote really in your hand?"
"Isn't this simple?" The other party sprinkled a little medicine on the wrist of a nearby guard, and the originally purple-black wound and blood slowly turned into normal color.
Lin Zhiyi pushed aside the guards and walked towards the other party.
"Prince Consort! No!" Youyi and other secret guards arrived at this time. Youyi anxiously used his lightness skills to fly over and stop him.
How could he let the prince consort take such a risk?!
At this moment, the opponent suddenly attacked and shot a poisonous needle at Zhou Mingyan who was closest to him.
Zhou Mingyan swung his sword and cut them down, but some fish still escaped.
At this time, Lin Zhiyi rushed over and used a wooden umbrella to block him, but her body was left open, and the opponent swung his sleeve and hit her shoulder with a flying needle. She paused, and then was suddenly attacked by a killer who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. She was hit on the back with a palm and flew out.
Lin Zhiyi had never suffered such a serious injury since he came here. The previous two times he was injured on the head were superficial injuries, but this time it was a combination of poison and internal injuries.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a wry smile, thinking to herself with self-mockery—I still can't compare to these natives. She's too naive.
Seeing that Lin Zhiyi was injured, Zhou Mingyan swung his sword and stabbed the killer, the fake Ye Changning, in the chest, risking being stabbed a few more times himself.
At the same time, Youyi rushed over, took quick action, detained the man, and forced him to tell him the antidote.
The guard who was initially smeared with the antidote suddenly convulsed all over, foamed at the mouth, and soon stopped breathing.
Yuichi was so angry that he stepped on the other person's leg and broke it: "Where's the antidote?"
The killer screamed in pain but refused to hand it over. He just spit out blood and laughed, "There is no antidote. There is no antidote at all! Hahaha! We never consider antidotes when making poison!"
"You—" Youyi grabbed the man's neck and held it tightly, half threatening and half tempting, "Aren't you afraid of death? Whoever gave you the silver, I will give you ten times! Go and kill the other party! I'll give you twenty times as much, and bring out the antidote!"
The killer just looked at him and smiled, a smile of success in his eyes.
You Yi felt as if he was struck by lightning.
Just at this moment, there was a loud noise above, rocks collapsed, and rubble rolled down.
"They also buried gunpowder! Retreat quickly!" Youqi exclaimed.
Seeing that Lin Zhiyi was slow to get up, Zhou Mingyan used his internal energy to suppress the poison and rushed over to save her. The two of them dodged the falling rocks from the other side amid the sound of the earth-shaking mountains and accidentally rolled down the hillside on this side.
