The legitimate daughter returns to the capital and embarks on a splendid life, tearing apart the fak

The bodyguard waved the money bag and said loudly, "Brothers, we're all just trying to make a living. This is just a small token of our appreciation. How about you let us pass?" With that, he threw the heavy money bag over.

The masked leader didn't even glance at it, kicking the money bag back and shouting, "Enough nonsense! Leave the caravan behind, everyone drop your weapons and submit to being tied up! Otherwise, you'll all die in this canyon today!"

Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), frowned. This was the first time in his more than twenty years of escorting goods that he had encountered such arrogance. The flag of Weiyuan Escort Agency carried some weight in the underworld, and ordinary bandits would usually give them some face. But this group of people seemed to be targeting them.

He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I am Wang Huaisheng from the Weiyuan Escort Agency. May I ask who you all are and why you are making trouble for us?"

"I don't care if you're Wang Huaisheng or Yang Huaisheng!" the masked leader sneered. "I only care about money and goods! Today, I'm not only taking your things, but also your people. Every single one of you here will be accounted for; no one will escape!"

Upon hearing this, Chief Escort Wang's heart skipped a beat; the other party was indeed after them.

He stopped wasting words, holding his sword horizontally across his chest: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Attack!" The masked leader gave the order, and more than thirty masked men immediately charged forward with their knives. With a wave of his hand, more than fifty people sprang out from the forest on both sides, each wielding a sharp blade and howling as they joined the battle.

The bodyguards quickly formed a defensive formation, protecting the caravan in the center, and the sound of clashing swords instantly echoed throughout the canyon.

Wang, the镖头 (bodyguard/escort), was agile and fought fiercely with the masked leader. The two were evenly matched amidst the flashing blades.

However, the enemy outnumbered them and the bodyguards gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Two of them had already been slashed and retreated with muffled groans.

Wang Biaotou felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that his escort team was clearly outnumbered and that if the fighting continued, they would likely be wiped out.

Seeing this, Yun Jin said to Huang Weixue and Chen Mengyao, "You two stay in the car and don't come out."

Standing atop the carriage shaft, she retrieved a horn bow from her spatial storage, drew a poisoned arrow, nocked it, and fired. Her movements were swift and decisive; the arrow flew, striking a bandit who was aiming for the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) in the throat. The man didn't even utter a sound before falling straight to the ground.

"What excellent archery!" exclaimed an injured bodyguard.

Yun Jin ignored him and continued nocking arrows.

Her eyesight was sharp; every arrow she shot was aimed at the bandit's vital points, whether it was his throat or his heart, and she never missed.

In a short while, more than a dozen bandits fell to the ground and died on the spot.

This sudden turn of events caught both sides off guard.

The bandits were startled and their attack faltered, while the bodyguards were greatly encouraged, as if injected with a stimulant.

The bandit leader was both shocked and furious, and roared, "Kill the archer first!"

Several bandits changed direction and rushed towards Yun Jin.

Before they could get close, they were all shot down by her sharp arrows. In the blink of an eye, her quiver was empty.

At this time, there were still a dozen or so bandits left in the canyon, and most of the bodyguards were also injured and panting heavily.

Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard), was locked in combat with the leader when he didn't notice a bandit circling behind him and slashing with his knife!

"Watch out!" Yun Jin shouted, drew her sword from her waist with her backhand, and threw it at the man with all her might.

The sword whistled through the air and struck the attacker squarely in the back with a soft "thud." The man's body stiffened, and he slowly collapsed.

Chief镖王 (Wang the镖头) broke out in a cold sweat. Turning around, he saw that it was Yun Jin who had made the move. He was both surprised and ashamed: "Thank you so much, Brother Xiaobai!"

Seeing the situation was dire and knowing he was doomed, the bandit leader roared, "Retreat!"

The remaining bandits, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, helped the wounded man and fled into the forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The canyon finally quieted down, with only the heavy breathing of the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) and the groans of the wounded remaining.

Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), leaning on his sword, walked up to Yun Jin, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Brother Xiao Bai, we owe you a great debt of gratitude today. Otherwise, our Weiyuan镖局 (escort agency) would have been finished here! I will remember this kindness!"

He looked at the corpse on the ground, then at Yun Jin's thin figure, and couldn't understand how this seemingly ordinary young man could have such amazing skills and courage.

Yun Jin put away the horn bow and said calmly, "It was nothing. We're all in the same boat. Let's check on the wounded first."

When Chief Escort Wang saw that Yun Jin was so young yet possessed such skill and composure, he couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for her talent.

"Brother Bai, your skills are truly impressive. Our Weiyuan Escort Agency is in dire need of someone like you. If you're interested, why not stay?"

Yun Jin shook her head. "Thank you for your kindness, Chief Escort Wang, but my ambitions lie elsewhere. I prefer a stable life and don't want to live this life of constant danger."

Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), didn't press the matter. He simply smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "That's true, everyone has their own ambitions. But if you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to Weiyuan镖局 (Weiyuan Escort Agency) and find me, Wang Huaisheng. As long as I can help, I will do my best without hesitation."

His favorability towards Yun Jin had soared to 90% at this moment. If it weren't for this "Little White Brother," his reputation would probably be ruined.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer." Yun Jin bent down and pulled the arrow from the dead bandit's body. She looked up at the deep forests on both sides. "These bandits came suspiciously. They might have something else up their sleeve. We need to leave as soon as possible."

"That's right," Chief Escort Wang agreed wholeheartedly, and immediately ordered his men, "Hurry up! Give the wounded some basic first aid, and let's get out of this canyon first!"

The镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) dared not delay. Enduring their injuries, they helped each other clean up the mess, dragged the bodies of the fallen bandits aside, checked that the镖车 (caravan) was undamaged, and then hurriedly regrouped.

Yun Jin returned to her carriage and saw Huang Weixue leaning on the carriage shaft, looking around. Chen Mengyao was also clinging to the carriage window, her eyes full of worry.

"It's alright now," Yun Jin said calmly, lifting the carriage curtain.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Mengyao quickly grabbed her arm and looked her up and down: "Are you alright? My heart was in my throat just now!"

Yun Jin laughed and said, "I'm fine, it's those villains who are in trouble."

The carriage restarted, its wheels rolling over the bloodstains on the ground, and slowly drove out of the canyon.

As evening fell, the caravan finally entered a small town.

Wang, the head镖师 (bodyguard), dared not be careless. After arranging for everyone to settle down, he also sent someone to fetch a doctor to treat the wounded.

The group rested in the town for one night, and the next morning, after the caravan had finished its preparations, they set off again.

After yesterday's battle, the bodyguards were even more respectful to Yun Jin. Chief bodyguard Wang often came over to chat with her, asking about what he had seen and heard along the way, clearly regarding her as a trustworthy partner.

The carriage moved smoothly along the official road, getting closer and closer to Ningcheng. An unusual atmosphere seemed to permeate the air.

Yun Jin gazed at the scenery rushing past on both sides. Ningcheng was getting closer and closer. The next stop was the capital. She wondered what awaited her there.
