Chapter 129: Blocking the Sword with Your Body
The two men in black were both good at martial arts. One of them jumped lightly and blocked the retreat route of the emperor and Shen Junqi.
The two men stopped, both looking pale.
The man in black was well-trained. Without saying anything, he drew the sword from his waist and slashed at the emperor.
At this moment, the emperor thought a lot. He didn't want to die. He still had many ambitions to fulfill. He was the king of Yongyao, so he couldn't die.
The emperor's hand suddenly reached out to Chen Junqi beside him. He wanted to push Chen Junqi out to block the sword.
As a result, just when he raised his hand and had not yet touched Shen Junqi, Shen Junqi jumped out and stood in front of the emperor.
Shen Junqi had no other thoughts in her mind except one: Wei Xiaoran and Lin Qian risked their lives to protect the emperor, so she couldn't be a drag. In this critical situation, she was the only one who could save the emperor.
So, Shen Junqi did not hesitate. She stood in front of the emperor and wanted to block the attack for him.
A warm feeling suddenly rose in the emperor's heart. It turned out that someone was really willing to protect him, using such a fragile and vulnerable body to protect him.
Shen Junqi!
At this moment, the emperor suddenly regretted his decision. He didn't want her to die.
Just as the emperor reached out to grab Shen Junqi's wrist, suddenly, a long arrow wrapped in cold wind flew from a distance, broke through the air, and pierced into the chest of the man in black.
The sharp sword that was about to fall on Shen Junqi's head fell to the ground with a bang. Another arrow was shot behind him, and another man in black was also shot dead.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late in coming to your rescue!" Wang Youshan was the commander of the Imperial Guards.
The reinforcements finally arrived.
At this time, Lin Shuo, holding a large bow in his hand, jumped down from a tall tree. Obviously, he was the one who shot the two arrows just now.
The emperor had no time to pay attention to Lin Shuo and Wang Youshan at this time. He still caught Shen Junqi's somewhat exhausted body and said, "Shen Junqi, how are you? Are you okay?"
It is true that Shen Junqi bravely rushed out to block the sword for the emperor, and it is also true that he was afraid.
Now that she was rescued, the tension in her heart relaxed and her whole body felt limp. She fell down without any strength, but was hugged by the emperor.
"No, I'm fine! Woohoo! I was scared to death just now!" Shen Junqi started crying as she spoke.
She just really felt the horror of death.
The emperor put his arm around her shoulders, patted her back, and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay now, don't be afraid!"
Shen Junqi nodded, and only then realized that the distance between her and the emperor seemed a little too close.
Seeing that the emperor cared about her very much and his handsome face was full of worry, she couldn't help blushing and stepped back.
However, the emperor held Shen Junqi tightly and did not let her retreat.
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became ambiguous.
Wang Youshan was extremely perceptive. He did not say anything, but instead asked the other imperial guards who followed him to turn around and face the side, with their backs to the emperor and Shen Junqi.
But Lin Shuo didn't have the time to watch them show their affection, so he spoke up and interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, you two are here, where are my sister and brother-in-law?" Lin Shuo asked.
Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran are here.
Lin Qian took Wei Xiaoran, who was disguised as the emperor, and climbed walls and rooftops, leading away a large group of men in black behind them.
The two men were like monkeys running through the woods, twisting and turning between the branches, and soon left the man in black far behind.
"Be careful!" Wei Xiaoran said suddenly.
Lin Qian subconsciously tilted her head, and a long arrow whizzed past her ear and pierced into the tree in front of her.
Wei Xiaoran glanced back with a serious expression.
There were a large number of men in black following behind him, estimated to be about twenty or thirty, and in the distance, even more men in black were gathering, from front to back, left to right.
In the blink of an eye, several long arrows shot over.
"We have to find a way to break out quickly, otherwise we will be surrounded and killed in no time." Lin Qian said.
Surrounded on all sides, they are like dumpling fillings.
Wei Xiaoran looked around at the surrounding environment, and suddenly pointed to a high mountain in the distance and said, "Let's go up the mountain."
The current situation was very urgent and Lin Qian had no time to think. As soon as Wei Xiaoran said so, she went straight to the mountain over there.
"Chase! Quickly!" The men in black behind him also turned around.
The mountain was very high. Lin Qian did not hesitate and dived into it directly. With the cover of dense leaves, she jumped on the tree trunks and flew quickly upwards.
At this time, Wei Xiaoran no longer needed Lin Qian to lead him, and the two of them ran up the mountain at full speed.
The two men used all their strength, and the men in black behind them were no match for them. In the blink of an eye, the two men left them behind. After a while, the men in black lost track of the two men.
At this time, there were nearly a hundred men in black. Although they had lost the trace of Lin Qian and the other person, they were outnumbered, so more than a hundred people spread out and conducted a carpet search on the mountain.
Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran were waiting for this opportunity.
The two of them quietly hid in a big tree, and the dense leaves became their best protection at this time.
"Three!" Wei Xiaoran sensed three auras approaching the two of them.
Lin Qian nodded, and after the first one passed by them, they quickly attacked the two men in black behind them.
The two men did not hold back and broke the necks of the men in black with clean and neat moves, and took their weapons.
The moment Wei Xiaoran got the sword, he threw it out with force, and the sword pierced through the chest of the man in black in the next second.
"Go!" After a successful attack, the two men retreated immediately.
Instead of going up the mountain, the two went down.
Just as Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran were about to go down the mountain and leave, a long arrow at a tricky angle flew towards Lin Qian.
Lin Qian's martial arts skills were not weak, and the arrow did not escape her sight and hearing. She raised her sword to block the arrow.
Wei Xiaoran's expression changed. He protected Lin Qian behind him and looked at a man standing in front of him holding a longbow.
The mottled moonlight cast down, and one could vaguely see a horrific scar on one side of the visitor's face, deep enough to see the bone.
"Feng Yan." Wei Xiaoran called out.
The man named Feng Yan laughed, and in the depths of this dark forest, it was terrifying to hear.
"Haha! Prime Minister Wei, it turns out to be you. It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet!" Feng Yan said.
Lin Qian glanced at the man and asked, "Who is he?"
Wei Xiaoran turned his head and said to Lin Qian, "He is a fierce general beside the eldest prince. His martial arts skills are very high, comparable to mine. Be careful."
At the beginning, Wei Xiaoran confronted Feng Yan. He left the scar on Feng Yan's face, and Feng Yan also stabbed him. The two of them were equally powerful, and neither could subdue the other.
Lin Qian nodded and became alert.
