A hand slowly descended, and the bells on the silver ring jingled with his tiny movement.

As soon as the sound faded, a huge white snake crawled over from not far away.

The scales scraped across the ground and wrapped around the steamed bun shop owner. Not only was the owner's fire poker broken, but he was also nearly snapped in half by the snake.

A moment later, he collapsed to the ground, barely alive, his mouth full of blood, staring at the high and mighty young master in the sedan chair, but he didn't even have the strength to shout.

"Xiao Bai," Si Jin said, "Did you miss me? You came so quickly."

The snake obediently stopped beside the sedan chair, looked down at Si Jin, blinked its eyes, as if it had completed some task and was asking its master for a reward.

"I'll find you something to eat when we get back." After saying that, Si Jin glanced at Ji Linyuan again, then lowered her eyes, closed the sedan curtain again, and didn't say anything more.

That look in his eyes seemed to be both affirmation and...provocation, as if to say: I've already knocked the man down, now take the coins back yourself.

Ji Linyuan actually turned around, took the copper coin without hesitation, and, despite his injuries, followed Si Jin's carriage.

He wants to enter the palace, and following the young master is the best way right now, but... what reason should he give for following him?

As Xiao Ayuan walked along, lost in thought, a flash of light soon blinded him.

The boy turned his head sharply and saw a gleaming dagger hidden in the crowd. Following the dagger, he saw that the person holding the knife seemed to be dressed in the style of the Central Plains, with a murderous look in his eyes, staring straight at the sedan chair.

It seemed as if it would leap up at any moment and stab the elegant and noble young master to death, but it seemed that it dared not make a rash move because of the snake's presence.

Ji Linyuan's lips curved slightly – wasn't this the opportunity?

"Help!" he suddenly shouted, "Catch the assassin!"

Upon hearing this, the assassin indeed showed fear, thinking that his companion had been exposed. He immediately drew his knife and flew out, disregarding everything.

Ji Linyuan rushed to the assassin before Bai She could reach him, catching the gleaming dagger with his hand.

Then, amidst the blood, he kicked the assassin in the stomach, then snatched the knife and slit his throat.

All the actions were carried out in one go, which took a lot of effort, but fortunately, there were a total of ten people in this assassination attempt.

The rest of the people had already been dealt with by the guards around the carriage. As he turned around, Ji Linyuan deliberately sprinkled a drop of blood on Si Jin's sedan curtain. When he landed, he also coughed several times in a cunning manner.

Finally, the person inside the sedan chair lifted the curtain and asked, "Are you badly injured?"

Ji Linyuan shook his head, feeling somewhat exhausted, but still gritted his teeth and persevered: "Young Master helped me this once, I... I should... I should repay you."

“But I was just checking in on the way,” Si Jin smiled. “I didn’t help you.”

The young master leaned back in the sedan chair, speaking calmly and unhurriedly.

But while he wasn't in a hurry, Xiao Yao in his sea of ​​consciousness was frantic: [My lord, Little Heavenly Lord is bleeding a lot! Quickly take him back to get him bandaged! (#Д)]

Si Jin ignored the system's words and continued to scrutinize Ji Linyuan. He looked young, but the ruthlessness he exuded was like that of a wolf, with a sharp aggression that was impossible to ignore.

He suddenly became very curious: what would the little wolf cub do if he didn't give him face?

"In that case, I have saved your life, young master!" Ji Linyuan bowed and deliberately placed his injured hand on it so that Si Jin could see his wound more clearly.

"If you do not abandon me, young master, I am willing to serve you by your side and follow you closely, even using my remaining life to shield you from a few more assassination attempts!"

He is currently being hunted across the entire territory and cannot directly reveal his identity, but if he says this while injured, at least You Sijin will take him in for a while.

That will make things much easier in the future.
