Xie Yin's pupils contracted sharply, and he realized something without even thinking.
He tentatively called out the driver's name.
There was no response.
It seems the driver has also been brought under control.
Xie Yin quickly took out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and sat down next to Xi Xingxue.
Seeing that he was weak and powerless, Xie Yin deduced that he had been given a drug that could make a person lose all their strength.
Fortunately, it wasn't some kind of poison that could kill someone instantly.
Xie Yin felt a slight sense of relief amidst his tension.
"My lord, I apologize."
He pulled Xi Xingxue into his arms.
As for why I'm so nervous about him? It must be because Xi Xingxue is still very useful to me.
Xie Yin comforted himself in this way.
Xi Xingxue had no strength left, and leaned against Xie Yin's chest without saying a word, letting Xie Yin take the initiative and hug her.
Xie Yin looked down at Xi Xingxue's soft hair, and his heart started beating faster.
This feeling... is very special.
However, just as he was about to delve into this emotion, the carriage suddenly braked sharply and came to a stop.
Xie Yin immediately gripped the dagger in his hand and keenly observed his surroundings.
"Whoosh!" An arrow pierced through the window and shot straight at their faces.
"Clang!" Xie Yin, who was prepared, swung his dagger and sent the person flying.
However, as soon as one arrow fell, countless more flew past, and a shout could be faintly heard outside the carriage.
"Charge! Take their lives first, then their money!"
Xie Yin quickly raised the table in front of him to block them, and fortunately the table was big enough to cover both of them.
The carriage was of excellent quality; it was hit by thousands of arrows without being pierced, only the curtain was completely torn.
"Hurry up, go up and see if the person is dead."
As the voice spoke, several footsteps approached the luxurious carriage.
They carefully lifted the carriage curtain and successfully saw two people sitting inside with their eyes closed, just as he was about to make a sound.
suddenly.
"laugh."
A clean and swift slit in the throat.
The other person, seeing the splattered blood, widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Oh no! The person is still alive!"
The next moment.
A dagger appeared on his neck, and he died a violent death shortly afterward.
Xie Yin's martial arts skills were actually quite average, but he was very good at sneak attacks.
After killing the two men, he didn't hesitate to grab Xi Xingxue and jump out of the carriage, leap onto the horse, cut the reins connecting the horse and the carriage, and gallop forward.
"drive!"
"Damn it, they're still alive! Kill them!"
The bandits rushed forward and stopped Xie Yin's flattery.
Xie Yin tried to steer his horse into their faces, but the next moment, a bandit swung his long knife and chopped off the horse's hoof.
The horse let out a shrill cry and collapsed to the ground in agony, throwing them off with it.
Xie Yin instinctively hugged Xi Xingxue tightly to make sure he wouldn't get hurt if they fell.
Meanwhile, a stone pressed against his waist, causing him to spasm in pain.
Xie Yin couldn't understand why he was protecting Xi Xingxue like this, but his brain told him to do it, so he did it.
Taking advantage of the moment when the two fell to the ground, the group of bandits surrounded them.
"Hand over your money, or you'll lose your lives!"
The bandits spoke in rough, gruff voices.
Xie Yin opened his eyes and looked at them, coldly saying, "You're not bandits, are you?"
The bandit paused for a moment, then threw his head back and laughed loudly: "What do you care about my identity? In any case, hand over the money quickly."
"They're putting on quite a show," Xie Yin thought sarcastically.
But this is just right, it helps him buy time.
Xie Yin used his dagger to support himself as he stood up, limping towards the carriage. "I'll take you to get the money!"
The bandits exchanged glances and then focused their attention on Xie Yin.
Xie Yin led the men to the carriage, where he crawled inside to retrieve the money.
Those people warned, "Don't try anything funny!"
"Don't worry." Xie Yin sneered, then quickly crawled inside.
Soon, he threw out a bag of gold.
Those people opened it and were overjoyed.
This was an unexpected bonus.
Soon, several more items were thrown out of the carriage, and the bandits rushed to catch them, but the next moment, teacups were smashed in their faces.
The water from the teacup spilled all over their faces, and they opened their mouths in fury.
"You tricked us! Brothers, kill him!"
Xie Yin sat motionless in the carriage.
The next moment, the people who were hit by the teacups suddenly collapsed all at once.
Xie Yin then jumped out of the carriage: "There's poison in this water that you've put in it."
This poison is potent; it takes effect immediately upon contact with just a little bit of the lips or the tongue.
"Put down your weapons and surrender!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from Xi Xingxue's direction. Xie Yin looked up and saw the bandit leader holding a knife to Xi Xingxue's neck, threatening her fiercely.
Xie Yin held the dagger, showing no intention of surrendering.
"Whatever, I don't care about him."
The bandit leader's pupils contracted slightly, then he sneered, "How could that be? You were just holding him."
Xie Yin's handsome and gentle face showed no reaction; instead, he calmly analyzed the situation:
"Everyone in the capital knows he is the Imperial Advisor, and I am his humiliating male concubine."
These words were mostly tinged with hatred, and the bandit loosened his grip on the knife slightly, somewhat believing what Xie Yin had said.
Xie Yin picked up the gold from the ground and walked step by step toward the bandit leader.
"I'll give you the gold, then let me go."
As Xie Yin approached, the bandit leader, as if possessed, abandoned Xi Xingxue.
He pretended to catch the gold with his left hand, but in reality, he had already gripped the knife tightly in his right hand.
After all, their main target today is Xie Yin.
At the moment of exchanging gold.
A flash of cold light.
The bandit leader's long sword slammed heavily into Xie Yin.
Although Xie Yin reacted quickly enough to dodge, a hideous wound still appeared on his shoulder.
Just as the bandits were about to draw their swords to finish off Xie Yin...
Suddenly, with a whoosh, an arrow flew past and pierced his neck.
The bandit leader's pupils widened, and he fell straight down.
Xie Yin clutched the wound on his shoulder and fell to the ground. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he quickly looked in that direction.
They were surprised to see that the person who rescued them was...
