Chapter 578: Stand Up
Caught off guard, Luo Yechen was pushed and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Fortunately, he was quick to grab the wall in time, thus avoiding the tragic incident of falling to the ground.
After he stood firm, he felt extremely annoyed.
This woman is indeed a tigress. He just hesitated for a moment and she actually attacked him!
Luo Yechen raised his head angrily, glared at Bu Shengyan fiercely, and said angrily: "What are you doing..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a feather arrow stuck where he had just stood!
Due to the great force of the arrow, the entire arrowhead had sunk into the ground, and the tail was still trembling slightly.
Luo Yechen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If he hadn't been pushed away just now, he would have been shot through the body by now!
He immediately looked around, trying to find out who was attacking him.
Bu Shengyan had already pulled out the whip and yelled at him.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and inform the emperor that there is an assassin!"
The two of them were standing at the entrance of the corridor, and the corridor behind them led directly to the city wall. The emperor, the empress dowager and others were sitting in the city wall watching the dragon boat race.
The moat was filled with the sounds of gongs, drums and shouts.
The voice drowned out Bu Shengyan's shout.
No one could hear what she said except Luo Yechen, who was closest to her.
Luo Yechen woke up as if from a dream and quickly turned around and ran upstairs.
He ran and yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Hurry up! There's an assassin!!"
There should have been guards standing guard on the stairs, but at this time there was no one on the stairs.
Seeing Luo Yechen trying to run away, the assassins hiding in the dark immediately shot three more arrows.
Bu Shengyan swung the whip to block two of the arrows, and the last arrow went straight to Luo Yechen's back.
Bu Shengyan rushed forward and knocked Luo Yechen to the ground from behind.
The arrow flew past Bu Shengyan's back.
She felt a burning pain on her back, which must have been scratched by the arrow.
The situation was urgent, she ignored her injuries and quickly got up.
Luo Yechen climbed up soon after.
The two of them looked back together and saw more than fifty assassins rushing towards them. Some of them were holding bows and arrows, aiming their arrows at Bu Shengyan and Luo Yechen.
With a few whooshing sounds, feather arrows flew towards us!
Bu Shengyan swung the whip, sweeping away all the arrows that were shot towards him.
But the next moment.
Another arrow shot towards her chest!
The assassins were extremely cunning. They deliberately slowed down before shooting the arrow. At this time, Bu Shengyan's whip had just been swung out and there was no time to retract it, so he had no way to block the arrow.
At the critical moment.
Luo Yechen stepped forward and stood in front of Bu Shengyan!
Bu Shengyan froze in place, looking at the back of the man in front of her, her pupils trembling violently.
Ever since she met Luo Yechen, Luo Yechen had always been seen in her as a fool with strong limbs but a simple mind, who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. She had never thought that this fool would actually use his body to block an arrow in order to save her.
She didn't even understand why he did that?
Although they were engaged, they had no feelings for each other at all, and there was no need for him to do this for her.
Luo Yechen fell backwards and fell on Bu Shengyan.
Bu Shengyan reached out and caught him.
Before she could lower her head to look at the wound on his chest, the assassins rushed up.
If the assassins want to go up to the city wall, they must pass through this staircase.
But Bu Shengyan and Luo Yechen blocked their way.
The assassins raised their knives and slashed at the two of them!
Bu Shengyan put one hand around Luo Yechen's waist from behind to prevent him from sliding to the ground, and with the other hand, she swung the whip and lashed out the two assassins who were in the front.
She fought and retreated with Luo Yechen.
The assassins were closing in.
As they were getting closer and closer to the city wall, the imperial guards guarding the main entrance of the city wall finally heard the noise.
They leaned over and looked down.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it!
There are actually assassins, and there are quite a few of them!
The imperial guards immediately shouted loudly.
"There's an assassin, protect him!"
When the assassins saw that their actions were exposed, they became even more ruthless and attacked Bu Shengyan and Luo Yechen regardless of the consequences!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Bu Shengyan hugged Luo Yechen tightly, climbed over the stair railing, and jumped down using light skills!
If she were alone, she could land safely from this height.
But she still has a burden now.
When she landed, Bu Shengyan unfortunately broke her leg and her face turned pale with pain.
She struggled to get up and looked at Luo Yechen beside her.
Luo Yechen was lying on the ground on his side, with his back facing her, crying out in pain.
"Shit, that hurts!"
Bu Shengyan thought of the arrow that hit him, and her heart tightened. She hurriedly said, "Don't move, or you'll get hurt worse."
Luo Yechen didn't care about that and just turned over and sat up.
Bu Shengyan was shocked when she saw this, fearing that he would tear the wound. She was about to reach out to help him, but she saw that there was no blood on his chest, and there was no wound at all, only a hole in his clothes.
She opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Weren't you shot by an arrow? How come you are not hurt?"
"I have a golden soft armor to protect me. Arrows cannot penetrate it." He said proudly as he opened his clothes to reveal the golden soft armor he was wearing.
Bu Shengyan was stunned.
How could there be such an operation?!
Ever since Luo Yechen was kidnapped in the nunnery last time, he has had a strong sense of crisis. He spent a lot of money to buy a golden armor and wore it every day. Ordinary swords and knives could not hurt him at all.
The golden soft armor sparkles in the sun, exuding the scent of money.
Bu Shengyan came to her senses, got angry and punched him in the chest.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Even through the golden soft armor, Luo Yechen still felt a pain in his chest.
This woman is so strong!
He covered his chest, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"You didn't even ask!"
Bu Shengyan: “…”
When she thought about how she had just protected him like a fool, she wanted to punch the bastard to death!
From above the city wall came the sound of weapons clashing, mixed with shouts of fear.
Bu Shengyan knew that now was not the time to lose her temper.
She suppressed her anger and said, "The number of guards here has decreased a lot. Someone must have transferred them away in advance. The people behind the scenes have been prepared. The emperor and the empress dowager may be in danger. Go and call for help."
"Um!"
Luo Yechen stood up, ran two steps, stopped, and picked her up.
Bu Shengyan was shocked and angry: "What are you doing? Put me down!"
Luo Yechen said as he walked: "What if there are other assassins nearby? Your legs are broken now, and you can't run, so you can only wait to die, right?"
Bu Shengyan didn't expect that this idiot could actually think of this.
She was surprised and couldn't help but sneer.
"Wouldn't it be better if I died? Then you could marry someone else."
Luo Yechen said confidently: "If you die, I will be a widower, and remarrying will be a second marriage. Second marriage is not like first marriage, there are too few candidates to choose from, and maybe the second wife I choose in the end will not be as good as you."
