Chapter 577.2: Twists and Turns
Twists and Turns (2)
The sound of horse hooves, and also the sound of arrows piercing through the air echoed, followed by a cry of “kill without pardon”. The soldiers that fell increased more and more, and precisely at this time, Li Hong Yuan’s shadow guard once again moved.
This time, however, there was a distinct goal, taking Li Hong Yuan and heading outwards, and the outside also tore open a path, the two sides converging. Li Hong Yuan was completely safe now.
The garrison troops were still getting ruthlessly slaughtered, not having the slightest power to resist. The place very quickly just got cleared up.
However, the people that came to assist didn’t dare to make a sound. Just now, the battle was still raging, but this while, it was already a scene of deathly stillness.
During this time, Jing Wan had already gotten taken quite the distance away. General Sun had his back against a tree, while having Jing Wan right in front of him, vigilantly looking left and right. As long as someone takes a step forward, the short blade pressed against Jing Wan’s neck will just dig a little deeper.
And Sun Yi Lin also just came over in the very beginning. That’s why, right now, it was three people on the other side facing the three hundred some people on this side. This situation was just somewhat similar to the initial confrontation in the very beginning, but clearly, there were still enormous differences. Previously, Li Hong Yuan and them, even if at a disadvantage, they were still calm and collected, but now………Well, alright, among the three of them, only General Sun was uncontrollably shaking.
Just, that trembling hand of his caused the sharp blade to continue digging deeper and deeper into Jing Wan’s flesh.Follow current s on ɴovel(F)ɪre
Li Hong Yuan took it all in, his heart aching. However, he didn’t rashly open his mouth. Just, the anger in his heart manifested into a terrifying aura, making He Shi Hai who’d came to the rescue all can’t help but gulp. One has to know, he was one of the few that didn’t fear Li Hong Yuan the most, yet now, even he all can’t help but want to stay far away.
However, the situation was troublesome. He Shi Hai scratched his head, inwardly cursing. Who the hell were these people, to actually dare dance around the tiger’s jaw. That was practically just like the god of longevity hanging himself because of disdaining his long life.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRather, it was Sun Yi Lin that suddenly acted, grabbing General Sun’s hand, letting his hand move away a little.
Jing Wan didn’t have that piercing pain taken seriously, just like Li Hong Yuan the majority of the times, like as if simply unable to feel pain. In her eyes, there was just Li Hong Yuan. That was the only person she cared about at present.
Li Hong Yuan knew what Sun Yi Lin wanted, but he seemingly wasn’t very certain either, so for a moment, he didn’t open his mouth.
And Sun Yi Lin this while, his heart was further like still water, also not having the intention of opening his mouth. To want to deal with Li Hong Yuan, it was very difficult, yet also very simple. It’s because he himself was just very tough, but once you grabbed onto his weakness, then it was just very easy to deal with him. Through this matter, this will probably become a common knowledge throughout the world.
In the end, it was still Li Hong Yuan that lost his patience first. This was also unavoidable.
“What do you want?”
What did he want? Truthfully speaking, Sun Yi Lin really wasn’t very clear. Even if he’d used an underhanded move, capturing Jing Wan, what his specific goal was initially, he really wasn’t that clear. He didn’t want to and also won’t harm Jing Wan, and capturing Jing Wan was for the sake of thoroughly escaping? ———After all, just now, if he’d left, the wanted posters won’t take long to come down, like a shadow following the body. But, this clearly wasn’t the case. Was it for the sake of seeing Li Hong Yuan getting controlled by him, lowering himself? Actually, this also wasn’t it. In Sun Yi Lin’s heart, setting aside Jing Wan, this factor, he actually quite admired Li Hong Yuan. Le Cheng Emperor had that many sons, yet he didn’t take a fancy to any. His di-related older cousin, Kang Qinwang, actually was quite unsightly. When Li Hong Yuan had first revealed signs in front of him, he already just sensed the air of a ruler in him. At that time, his heart actually already made a decision.
Then, right now, exactly what did he want to do? En, he really didn’t know.
TN: All
Sun Yi Lin was very sober, but his mind seemingly was also very muddled, having a kind of not knowing ‘when and where’ feeling……
Another thundering sound of horse hooves. Just this time, it was very distinct, just one horse.
Turning back to look over, without needing to see clearly, he just knew, that was Jing Wan’s servant girl, Hei Mei, because compared to others, Hei Mei was indeed unique. Just, Hei Mei didn’t come alone. In front of her, horizontally laid another person.
After closing in, Hei Mei flipped down from the horse, and then had the person on the back of the horse dragged down. Compared to Hei Mei, that was just a weak woman. Getting grabbed by Hei Mei, she was very much in a sorry state, staggering along, finally stabilizing herself after great difficulty.
“Sun Yi Lin, if you dare to hurt a single hair on wangfei, I will kill her.” Hei Mei’s eyes revealed a vicious glint, and at the same time, the woman in her hand got clutched by the neck, her complexion deathly pale, even somewhat turning green. It was more than enough to show that Hei Mei absolutely wasn’t joking.
And this person, Jing Wan naturally recognized——–Min Xiao Yuan.
Min Xiao Yuan, Li Hong Yuan naturally was very clear about, and at this time, his eyes also flashed with contemplation, having some things carefully thought over from beginning to end, coming to a conclusion. Min Xiao Yuan, for Sun Yi Lin, wasn’t that unimportant. On the contrary, she perhaps was even very important. Judging from Sun Yi Lin’s attitude towards her, she had a place in his heart, and analyzing deeper, this position was even very heavy, very very heavy, because in a certain sense, Min Xiao Yuan can actually be considered Sun Yi Lin’s only one.
At present, people that still cared about Sun Yi Lin, it’s not like they don’t exist, for instance, Sun Yi Jia, and also Sun Old Madam. But, for these two, they both have things that were more important to them, so their thoughts towards him will gradually weaken with the passing of time. By his side, there once was a loyal and faithful servant boy, but that servant boy had long fallen into the hands of Li Hong Yuan’s subordinates, going through interrogation under torture, and at present, life and death unknown.
Min Xiao Yuan, this only one, not only was the only one that still stayed by his side, putting in her absolute sincerity and passionate feelings, her everything else was all thrown in for Sun Yi Lin.
Sun Yi Lin had never once encountered before in the past, and in the future, there probably won’t be a second one, so can he really be indifferent towards her being in danger?
Li Hong Yuan’s eyesight was very good. Even though Sun Yi Lin had covered up tightly, his hands also behind his back, Li Hong Yuan still faintly discovered something wrong with him. “Hei Mei, let go of the person first.”
Hei Mei naturally won’t disobey his words.
Min Xiao Yuan was already gradually losing consciousness. Suddenly getting let go, a burst of air violently poured into her lungs, as she violently began choking, her throat burning in pain. Gradually, she also woke up.
Perhaps because of choking, her tears uncontrollably fell, appearing very pitiful.
After coming to her sense, her eyes instantly looked to Sun Yi Lin, and as she stared, her tears fell even more violently. This clearly wasn’t because of physiological reasons. “Some things, why didn’t you just say so earlier? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Min Xiao Yuan seemingly carried blame, yet there was even more sorrow, grieving to the extreme.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStill, no one spoke.
“It’s not like I’m unable to marry, insisting on shamelessly following you.” Min Xiao Yuan’s voice lowered, “But, coming to this step today, I’m really unwilling to resign. How can you be this cruel, this heartless? The person in your heart is a married woman. Never mind being unable to forget, you even, because of your own selfishness, did such deranged things. Are you still human? But, the most lamentable thing is that even if you’re not human, I still like you. It’s I that’s being lowly, but Sun Yi Lin, if I die, will you properly look at me?” Min Xiao Yuan just stared at him like that, just like that, but in her eyes, Sun Yi Lin was ultimately unconcerned.
That last bit of luster in Min Xiao Yuan’s eyes also disappeared. The saying, ‘nothing more sorrowful than a withered heart’ was nothing more than this.
“If you all want to use me to threaten Sun Yi Lin, then it seems you have the wrong idea. That person is no longer human. However, you can also kill me, I also don’t want to live anymore.” Min Xiao Yuan’s voice was very soft, and her words were just her last words.
However, right when Min Xiao Yuan closed her eyes, Sun Yi Lin nevertheless moved. Lifting his foot, he walked over step by step.
And in just three steps, ‘shiuu’, an arrow flew out, penetrating his thigh above his knee. However, he was just like as if not sensing, still limping as he advanced. Another arrow sounded. His other leg, in the same area, got shot with an arrow. His speed reduced, but he didn’t stop.
The third arrow shot out. The target was Sun Yi Lin’s arm. Hearing the sounds, Min Xiao Yuan also opened her eyes, unable to describe the shock. Seeing the fourth arrow penetrate his other arm, she suddenly just began struggling madly, nearly struggling free from Hei Mei’s grip. “Stop shooting, stop shooting, please, begging you all, don’t shoot anymore…..” Min Xiao Yuan broke down.
But, Min Xiao Yuan’s words obviously didn’t have any effect. However, “Enough.” Jing Wan’s voice made the people that were continuing to aim put down their hands.
The reason why Jing Wan would open her mouth wasn’t because of producing compassion towards Sun Yi Lin again, but rather because of Min Xiao Yuan, for the sake of her feelings.
And at the same time, Jing Wan also felt the restraint behind her disappear, swiftly dodging.
The people that were originally aiming the crossbow at General Sun, at this time, all acted simultaneously. In an instant, General Sun just became a porcupine, dead to the point where he can’t be more dead.
Li Hong Yuan practically rushed to Jing Wan’s side first thing. Seeing the bloody cut on Jing Wan’s neck, his complexion was terrifyingly dark.
And Gong Jiu also hurried over.
Fortunately, it was still a distance from the artery. After applying the medicine, it will very quickly form into a scab.
Li Hong Yuan had Jing Wan taken back, swiftly getting surrounded. This time, they were finally completely safe. Believe that there won’t be anymore unforeseen events.
