The carriage moved slowly along the way.

Qi Shuyue and Bai Zhiyuan were riding in the same carriage, but Qi Shuyue seemed a little absent-minded today.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but ask, "Cousin, are you worried about something?"

Qi Shuyue was startled, lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No."

Bai Zhiyuan: "Then why did cousin suddenly want to live in Xie's house for a while?"

Qi Shuyue said with a guilty conscience: "Grandfather is too strict with me. He keeps a close eye on me every day. I am not free in Bai Mansion. I thought I could stay at my cousin's place for a few days. Wouldn't that cause trouble for her?"

Bai Zhiyuan felt a strange feeling in her heart. Before she could think clearly, Qi Shuyue said, "If my cousin finds it inconvenient, I can stay in an inn outside for a few days."

Bai Zhiyuan said: "It's not inconvenient, it's just that my grandfather is doing this for your own good, cousin."

Qi Shuyue said impatiently: "I understand. I will only bother you for a few days and then go back."

Since she said that, Bai Zhiyuan didn't say anything else, but he still felt something strange in his heart.

Before she could figure it out, there was a commotion outside.

The sound was getting closer and closer. Ling Xiao was startled at first, then he lifted the car curtain and asked, "What happened in front?"

The coachman said in a panic, "Madam, there's a dead person ahead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage jolted violently.

Tianxun, who was sitting next to the coachman, tried his best to steady the carriage, but the horse was frightened and was still shaking wildly.

Bai Zhiyuan was sitting in the carriage. He opened the curtain to see what was happening outside. He saw the crowd running around as if they were dispersed by something. It was a mess, as if something terrible was chasing them. He looked again and found that among the ordinary people, there seemed to be some unusual people. Although these people were dressed like ordinary people, they had long knives in their hands and chopped anyone they saw without any rules.

The crowd fled in all directions. The sound of knives piercing flesh mixed with screams could be heard very clearly. Bai Zhiyuan frowned as he watched. Tianxun and Xia Qing had already drawn their swords to protect Bai Zhiyuan.

Ling Xiao even screamed, "Driver, move to the side quickly, don't go over there!"

Qi Shuyue standing by had an even paler face.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan took out the sword from the carriage, drew it out, looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and said sternly: "Tianxun, Xia Qing, go and help them, how can we let these thieves massacre innocent people."

Tianxun and Xia Qing looked at each other, and Tianxun said, "Madam, the young master asked me to follow you closely and protect you."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were like knives, and he said, "I order you to go quickly!"

During the dispute, the carriage shook violently and ran forward madly.

Tianxun and Xia Qing were startled, jumped off their horses, and pulled the reins hard in an attempt to control the carriage.

The next moment, a stray arrow flew and pierced the driver's chest. He fell on the horse's back and soon died.

Many arrows flew from the sky again. Tianxun and Xia Qing had no choice but to let go of their horses and wave their swords to block them. Soon an arrow was inserted into the horse's back. The horse felt pain and ran wildly, unable to stop for a while. The crowded and fleeing crowd in front kept bumping into the carriage. The carriage was knocked to this and that, but it was still running forward desperately.

Tianxun and Xia Qing were trapped, and distant water could not quench their immediate thirst, so they could only watch the carriage go away.

Ling Xiao and Qi Shuyue in the carriage were dizzy from the fall. Although Bai Zhiyuan tried her best to control her body and the horse, the horse had gone crazy and she could not control it for a while.

She understood what happened today, and was probably directed at her.

Bai Zhiyuan turned around and said to Ling Xiao and Qi Shuyue, "Ling Xiao, cousin, hurry up! Let's jump out of the car!"

Ling Xiao reacted quickly, but Qi Shuyue seemed to be frightened and didn't move. Ling Xiao was anxious and reached out to pull her, but she shook him off.

Bai Zhiyuan thought she was just frightened, so he grabbed one person with both hands and prepared to jump out of the car.

Qi Shuyue's face was still pale, and no matter how hard Bai Zhiyuan tried, she didn't move.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Cousin, if we stay in the carriage, we will be smashed to pieces. Let's go!"

Qi Shuyue then held Bai Zhiyuan's hand and whispered, "I'm sorry, cousin!"

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hand. She withdrew her hand in pain and found a needle hole on her hand. Then she looked at Qi Shuyue's hand and saw a tiny silver needle.

Bai Zhiyuan understood immediately, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed that she was so careless that she didn't notice Qi Shuyue's abnormality and fell into her trap.

Just as she was about to speak, she felt dizzy. She bit her tongue hard and managed to hold on. She said to Ling Xiao, "Ling Xiao, go! Go find Xie Yunsong!"

Ling Xiao was stunned by the sudden change in front of her. Before she could react, Bai Zhiyuan used all his strength to push her out of the carriage.

After doing all this, she finally collapsed.

Qi Shuyue looked coldly at the fallen Bai Zhiyuan, without moving.

After a long time, the carriage gradually stabilized, and Qi Shuyue knew that the man had succeeded.

Ling Xiao fell to the ground and rolled a few times before he came to his senses. When he opened his eyes again, the carriage had disappeared.

Ling Xiao stood up with pain. After all, she had followed Bai Zhiyuan for so long, so she quickly calmed down and turned back, just in time to meet Tianxun and Xia Qing who came looking for her.

Ling Xiao seemed to have found a backbone. He held Tianxun's arm, his face pale, and said, "Tianxun, what should we do? The young lady was kidnapped. It was the cousin. She...she took advantage of the young lady's inattention and drugged her with a needle."

Tianxun was shocked, but knew that it was too late to save the situation. He believed that with Bai Zhiyuan's intelligence, nothing would happen.

The three had no choice but to quickly return home.

Steward Lin was calculating the expenses for this month when he suddenly heard a panicked voice: "Standard Lin, this is bad!"

Steward Lin looked up and saw that it was a young man from the gatehouse, so he scolded him, "Why are you so flustered and making so much noise..."

"Oh no, Steward Lin, the young lady has been kidnapped! Sister Lingxiao is also injured!" the young man said in one breath.

Butler Lin, who had just been sitting at the table calmly, jumped up from his seat and shouted loudly, "What? Where is it? Take me there!"

The news that Bai Zhiyuan was abducted and Ling Xiao was injured quickly spread throughout the Xie Mansion. Many people on the street witnessed it, and the news soon spread throughout Shangjing City.

There was a sudden riot on the street today, and people thought it was just thugs attacking innocent people, but they didn't expect that the real target was Bai Zhiyuan.

Right now, Xie Yunsong has not returned from the palace. He has sent someone to report and has also contacted the government to track down Bai Zhiyuan's whereabouts.

Jingzhao Yin just arrived and was frightened when he learned that Bai Zhiyuan was kidnapped. As a local security officer, he would rather die than refuse to see such a thing happen right under his nose.

As a result, the capital became even more chaotic, the people were in panic, and the streets were in a mess.
