234, Bandits (4 more)
Xie Zhinuan was serious about wanting to learn to ride a horse.
She was not familiar with other horses and was afraid of them, but she was not afraid of Dahuang-this mule, and although Dahuang was somewhat mischievous, he was absolutely loyal and obedient.
Xie Zhinuan had no idea that Li Hengyi’s horses thought about her every day, and when they saw her in the morning as they set off, their eyes lit up and they moved closer to her.
But she didn’t notice at all and called for Routuan and the grey wolf to get on the carriage.
“…” The two horses snorted heavily.
At the side, Dahuang let out a mocking mule laugh.
Xie Zhinuan was completely unaware of the animals’ rivalry, and Li Hengyi didn’t pay it any attention either.
This time, it was Yuanbao driving the carriage, while the silly girl stayed in the manor to take care of some matters, as they might be away for two or three days, Xie Zhinuan only brought three with her.
There were several guards accompanying them, including Duobao.
Xie Zhinuan got into the carriage, read a book for a while, then silently memorized it for a while, her mouth constantly moving, not resting for even a moment.
Li Hengyi wanted to talk to her several times, but seeing that she was busy, he silently lowered his eyes and went to play with the two pets.
He didn’t understand whether Xie Zhinuan’s mind ever had a place for the joy of men and women, for romantic love. He had even questioned whether he was not handsome enough or not excellent enough, otherwise why would Xie Zhinuan never show any romantic feelings toward him.
When she faced him, she was too calm and composed, her eyes too clean and pure, devoid of passionate love, and blind to the intense liking and adoration in his own eyes.
She was a bit blind when it came to romantic love!
Fortunately, she was like this toward all men.
Li Hengyi could only comfort himself in this way, otherwise he might really need to awaken himself.
Xie Zhinuan memorized for quite a while and felt a little thirsty, she reached for the teapot, took a sip gently, liked the taste, and drank a mouthful, then poured another cup.
After drinking, she continued to memorize her book.
Li Hengyi raised his eyebrow and looked at her, sighing softly.
From beginning to end, she hadn’t given him a single glance.
When he thought about it, it was really sad.
The carriage wasn’t running too fast, but it wasn’t slow either, the journey on the official road was fairly smooth.
But no one in the group expected to encounter bandits.
“Whoa!”
The carriage was stopped by several masked men.
Yuanbao looked at these bandits, taken aback for a moment before saying, “You…”
“This road is mine, this tree is planted by me, if you want to pass through, leave behind some money to buy your way!”
“…”
Yuanbao couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.
The people who were with them also couldn’t help but chuckle.
The two pets also scrambled out of the carriage, curiously looking at the few masked men.
And thus the curtain of the carriage was pulled open.
The bandits saw Xie Zhinuan, and one of them, blinded by lust, couldn’t help but exclaim, “Hey, what a beauty!”
Xie Zhinuan frowned.
Yuanbao, however, moved with lightning speed and landed a kick on the bandit, “You have no judgement and you dare to be a bandit!”
A beauty? That was the master’s beloved, not someone these bandits could flirt with without facing the consequences of their boldness.
The bandit was kicked to the ground and immediately spat out blood.
“Duobao!” Li Hengyi called softly from inside the carriage.
“Master!” Duobao promptly responded.
“Bandits are rampant, bringing harm to the local villagers, take them to eradicate the bandits!” Li Hengyi ordered.
Yuanbao already understood that none of these bandits would be left alive.
But indeed, the bandits deserved to be eradicated, rather than being allowed to harm the villagers, rob them on the road, and possibly even take lives.
“Yes!” Duobao acknowledged.
He wondered if this was really about eradicating bandits or because one of the bandits had harassed Xie Zhinuan.
