Song Yan's hair was blown by the wind and brushed against her cheek. Xie Shizhu couldn't help but look back and suddenly found that Song Yan was also looking at her.
Song Yan's eyes no longer had the gentleness he had pretended to have, but were exceptionally calm, his pupils as dark as a deep well.
She was slightly startled, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away.
System: [Host, what are you afraid of? ]
Xie Shizhu was silent for a few seconds: "If you were to sleep with someone who had killed you all day, would you be afraid?"
System: […Scared!]
Xie Shizhu had a bad feeling in her heart. She wondered if Song Yan recognized her when she fought with him last night.
She could foresee that since she had exposed the corruption of the Minister of Revenue to the world, countless people would want to find her and kill her to eliminate the future troubles.
So Song Yan was commissioned by someone, and the reward for assassinating her was probably really high.
While she was daydreaming, the two of them rode their horses through a forest, and the sky was already turning pale.
Suddenly, countless burly men in black clothes appeared on the top of the mountain.
They rushed down the mountain, swords in hand, running towards the two of them with a purpose.
Xie Shizhu was startled and quickly huddled in Song Yan's arms, trembling.
It seems that this group of people are bandits.
They surrounded the two men, drew their swords, and pointed the gleaming blades at Song Yan's chest. The bandits said, "This is robbery. If you want to pass by here, leave five hundred taels, otherwise you two will die."
Xie Shizhu shook his head in his heart, and felt only sympathy when looking at these bandits.
Hey guys, don't you see who the man in front of you is?
I guess they will all be dead soon.
A group of bandits looked at their appearance. One man had a pale face and looked like he had kidney deficiency. He looked more feminine than the woman.
The other woman was pretty, with beautiful eyes and a sparkling gaze. She was simply the most beautiful woman the bandits had ever seen.
The bandits almost drooled when they saw Xie Shizhu, and wiped the corners of their lips.
The bandits who were originally just robbing suddenly had more thoughts on their mind.
The leader of the bandits said to Song Yan, "This woman is your wife, right? As long as you leave us 500 taels of silver, we will not harm your wife. But if you don't give us, we will not show any mercy to her."
After the boss finished speaking, the other bandits squinted their eyes and stared at Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu turned to look at Song Yan, her eyes filled with fear, the corners of her eyes red, and she gestured with trembling hands, "Your Majesty, I know you didn't have any money on you when you came out, so you can't take out these five hundred taels. Why don't you go first? I'll find a way to escape from these bandits..."
Song Yan was silent for a long time, his face was extremely pale and his thin lips were bloodless.
A group of bandits were staring at the two of them intently. When they saw the woman using sign language, they looked at each other in confusion.
Then the bandit leader laughed and said, "Dumb."
His voice was neither loud nor soft, and when it reached Xie Shizhu's ears, a trace of inferiority appeared on the woman's face. She lowered her eyes and no longer gestured a word to Song Yan.
There was a hint of coldness in Song Yan's eyes, but he still looked as weak and powerless as ever.
He dismounted from his horse and said softly to the bandit leader, "I have three hundred taels, but I don't have them with me. I'd like you to come with me to get them."
The bandit leader was filled with mockery when he saw that he looked like he was dying from kidney deficiency.
It's such a waste for such a beautiful girl to marry a man like this.
Although the bandit leader was not as tall as Song Yan, he looked down on the man from the bottom of his heart when he saw his pale face.
Afterwards, the bandit leader winked at the bandits around him, then turned his gaze back to Song Yan and said, "Okay, you lead the way, and your young lady will have to stay where she is. What if you cheat me?"
After saying this, Xie Shizhu was terrified and hurriedly got off the horse. He reached out and held Song Yan's wrist. His clear eyes were filled with tears and he shook his head.
Signaling him not to abandon herself.
Song Yan glanced at her and said softly, "I'll be back to pick you up soon."
Xie Shizhu bit her lips, tears rolling down her eyes.
The bandit leader didn't have the patience to watch the two of them part ways in life and death. He pushed Song Yan's shoulder, widening the distance between them. Then he said with a dark face, "Hurry and lead the way."
Song Yan was very weak. When he was pushed by him, his body became unstable and he almost fell down.
He steadied himself, without even looking at Xie Shizhu, and disappeared from everyone's sight with the bandit leader.
Xie Shizhu looked at his tall back, her heart sinking to the bottom of the sea. She almost forgot that Song Yan had no heart.
In the original plot, the heroine gave so much for him, but Song Yan remained as hard-hearted as a rock.
And all her efforts for so long were just to make Song Yan soften his heart and not kill her.
Now he could still abandon her and leave, leaving her to die at the hands of these bandits.
Xie Shizhu felt disheartened. She really thought too highly of herself.
The system noticed the host's low mood and sighed, saying, "Host, you've suffered a setback. There are actually people who are even more cruel than you."
The more Xie Shizhu thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He began to cry with his shoulders shaking.
The bandits around her winked at each other, then walked up to her and said, "Young lady, your husband doesn't want you anymore. We will love you well."
Xie Shizhu raised his eyes and looked at everyone. He noticed their thoughts, fear showed on his face, and he quickly took a few steps back.
The bandits found her tear-filled eyes particularly charming and could not help rubbing their hands together as they approached her step by step.
Xie Shizhu was forced back to a tree by a group of people. Her back hit the rough tree and she was forced to stop.
