Chapter 304: Steady in Times of Tension, Calm in Times of Distress



As the saying goes, a man is steady when he is nervous and calm when he is in trouble. Although Yinzuo looks nonchalant on ordinary days, when it comes to serious action, he is not vague at all. Seeing that some guards were taken away by Yinzhi, Yinzhen, Thirteen and Fourteen, he raised his hand and pulled Yinreng aside, and the two of them protected Kangxi between them, one in front and one behind.

"What are you two doing? I am the ruler of a country, how can I be afraid of a few assassins? Yinreng, Yinzuo, you two, get out of my way! I want to see if they have the guts to take my life."

Yes, you are the king of a country, you must not be afraid of these few assassins, but let's talk, can you please stop pulling me? Yinzuo turned his head and glanced at his father who had pulled Yinreng aside and exposed him in front of everyone, and his heart was filled with worry.

"Father, let's not be so stubborn at this point, okay? My second brother and I are both your sons. It's our duty to protect you in times of danger. You also said you're the ruler of a country. Any mishap on your part would shake the foundation of the nation. Even if we have to fight an assassin, aren't there so many people standing here? Just stand behind your sons in peace. As long as we're not defeated, there's no need for you to charge into battle."

Yinzhi and his men made such a big move, and the assassins were not blind. How could they just sit there and wait to die? Assassinating the emperor is a serious crime that will result in the extermination of nine generations of the family. No matter whether it is successful or not, the death is waiting. Now that they have been discovered, the next step is naturally to fight to the death. Yinzhi and his men brought a lot of guards, but there were also a lot of assassins. Even if they were on high alert, it was inevitable that a few assassins would slip through the net.

It was obvious at a glance that the group of assassins who came today had planned this for a long time in advance. They knew this forest well in just two words - familiar. Seeing that the assassins who had escaped from the mountain were about to break through the outermost line of defense, Yinzuo's heart, which was almost in his throat, tightened again. He raised his hand to lift the corner of his robe and tied it around his waist, took the knife handed over by Yin? and blocked it in front of Kangxi Yinreng.

"Brother, if the assassins really come over, you should take the others to protect Khan Ama and leave this to us brothers. Don't worry, Ama, as long as your son is here, I will definitely guarantee your safety."

To be honest, Kangxi was more afraid of hearing Yinzuo say this than the assassin right in front of him. You know, the last time Yinzuo said this was in Mobei, and that time Yinzuo was almost shot through the heart by an arrow. So when Kangxi heard Yinzuo say this, his subconscious reaction was to pull him to his side.

"You better save your energy. Your mediocre skills are not even as good as Lao Ba's. You can't even handle a round of blows from him. Just stay beside me. It's not your turn to go over there yet."

Although Yinzuo admitted that his fighting ability was not good, he was not such a tacky person. What did he mean by "three-legged cat skills"? What did he mean by "not enough for a round of chopping?" What was he doing? Did he treat me like a wooden stake? If he wanted to chop me, I would just stand there and wait for him to chop me. And my dear father, please look at our current situation. Do you think I am willing to let myself be chopped? There is nothing we can do. They are almost rushing towards us.

"Hey, you look down on me again, don't you? Although my son's fighting ability is a little worse than that of my elder brother and the others, I'm not as useless as you say. Father, have you heard the saying, 'My fighting ability is unknown, but I become stronger when I meet a stronger opponent'? That's what I'm talking about, just wait and see."

People can often burst out with amazing strength when facing life threats. Although Yinzuo's words just now contained some bragging, his performance in the moment of close combat with the assassin was indeed worthy of the saying that one becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent. Once Yinzuo started fighting, it actually meant that the assassin had rushed to the last line of defense in front of Kangxi. Yinzhi, Yinqi and others were not idle at this time either. Regardless of the strength of their own kung fu, they had already raised their swords and fought with the assassins. Yinzuo raised his sword to cut off the crossbow arrow flying towards Yinreng's back, turned around and shouted loudly towards Yinzhi and others.

"Third brother, fifth brother, be careful, this assassin has a crossbow."

Regardless of the intelligence of the assassins who were able to assassinate the emperor, they must have good skills. Even if Yinzhi and Yinzhen brought a lot of people with them, it took them a lot of effort to kill most of the assassins on the mountain. Kangxi and his men came here to enjoy the scenery today. Their position must have a good view. With such a chaotic fight below, Yinzhi and his men would have spotted it at a glance as long as they were not blind.

"Thirteen, Fourteen, the few remaining people on the mountain are now in your hands. Khan Ama might be in danger. Your fourth brother and I will take the people down to rescue him first."

Let's not talk about how Yinzhi and Yinzhen were anxiously leading their men to the foot of the mountain. Let's just talk about how Yinzuo and his men were fighting so hard. Yinzhi and Yinqi were both gloriously wounded at this time, but even though they were dragging their bloody arms, they didn't dare to stop. At this moment, it was a fight between you and me, and there was no room for slackness. Yin'er's side was okay. Although his own martial arts value was not particularly strong, he had a fierce general by his side. With Yin? helping him from time to time, Yin'er didn't have any wounds on his body.

The situation on Yinzuo's side was not very optimistic. Although he felt that he had endless strength due to extreme nervousness and excitement, he was not invulnerable to swords and guns after all. Blood still flowed out when the knife cut his body. Kangxi also had a knife in his hand at this time. He raised his hand to chop down an assassin who rushed in front of him, and turned around to see another assassin raising his arm to shoot an arrow at Yinzuo.

"Yinzuo, be careful."

The assassin who had intended to attack Yinzuo from behind heard Kangxi's cry of caution and turned the crossbow arrow aimed at Yinzuo and shot it towards Kangxi. Yinzuo turned around to see this scene after being reminded by Kangxi, but it was obviously too late to remind Kangxi to dodge. In extreme desperation, Yinzuo could only throw himself towards Kangxi. History always repeats itself. Just like the last time in Mobei, this arrow pierced Yinzuo's body firmly. If there is any difference from the time in Mobei, well... it's just a different side, right? The arrow in Mobei pierced his back, this time it was his chest, but the only thing he was thankful for was that it was not as bloody as in the novel. His injury was on the right side.

Of course, it was not without some melodrama. For example, Yinzhi and Yinzhen did not arrive early or late, but they arrived with their men just after Yinzuo was pierced. With Yinzhi and others joining, the situation of the battle was turned around in an instant, and the battle came to an end in no time.
