Before the end of Chapter 332—Riding a White Tiger to the Capital

"Grandma, we know."

"I just feel that if we were a little more capable, maybe we could have set off with my second sister and the others," Lin Wentao said with self-reproach.

"..." Lin Luoning nodded, sharing the same thought as Lin Wentao.

"You guys! It's not a matter of whether you're good or not. No matter how good you are, someone still needs to hold the rear."

"It's just like fighting a war. If the general leads his soldiers to charge ahead, but the rear camp is left unguarded and destroyed by the enemy, it's all for nothing."

Because the other party was her own grandson, the old princess patiently and gently comforted him.

"Don't criticize your abilities. It's precisely because you're capable that Luo Xi entrusted you with the crucial task of guarding the safety of Wutong Village..."

The old princess witnessed her grandson's abilities while staying here for a while.

Fortunately, the Lin family has their granddaughter Lin Luoxi. Because of Lin Luoxi's excellence, the rest of the Lin family are motivated to strive to become better.

After listening to the old princess's words, Lin Wenqian and the others finally got out of the dead end and went about their business with renewed vigor.

Li Chaoyang and Zhao Yunzheng did not follow Lin Lingtian back to Kyoto; they vowed to stay by Su Xueer and Lin Dayou's side, even at the cost of their lives.

Previously, it was their negligence in taking care of Lin Dayou that caused him to be separated from the princess and her son for many years. Now, God has given them a chance to make amends, and they must take good care of Lin Dayou's family and the old princess.

Lin Luoxi had no intention of having Zhao Yunzheng and Li Chaoyang accompany her, because their main task now was to train the villagers of Wutong Village and improve their overall martial arts skills.

Lin Luoxi and the others had just left Quanshan County when they ran into the assassins who had come to kill Lin Lingtian again. Without saying a word, they grabbed their weapons and rushed into the group of assassins for a fierce battle.

We must not allow a single assassin to reach Wutong Village.

Lin Luoxi left the bear team in Wutong Village and distributed a lot of pills on the mountain before leaving.

Have those fifteen bears guard the back mountain; we absolutely cannot let the assassins attack Wutong Village from the back mountain.

With these fifteen bears as her backup, and with Lin Wenqian and Lin Yi in charge of the village, Lin Luoxi felt completely at ease.

When Lin Luoxi left, she only took the white tiger with her, and rode it the whole way.

The white tiger was raised by Lin Luoxi in the space. Originally larger than an adult, it grew stronger and more powerful under the nourishment of the spiritual energy and water in the space, eventually becoming as big as two adults.

Fearing that the assassins would split into several groups and head towards Qingshui County, Lin Luoxi and Lin Lingtian split into two teams and began to act separately.

Lin Luoxi was quite conspicuous riding the white tiger. She and Xie Hanchuan took shortcuts through the mountains and forests, moving quickly.

Lin Lingtian led the others along the official road. If they encountered assassins, they would fire a signal flare, and Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan would come out of the mountains to deal with the assassins together.

Whether it was good luck or not, after that one time in Qingshan County when they encountered assassins on the official road, Lin Lingtian and his group never encountered assassins again.

On the contrary, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan encountered several groups of enemies on the mountain path they were taking.

Because one of their companions was Baihu, who had an innate and keen sense of danger, Lin Luoxi and her group were well-prepared.

Lin Luoxi's specialty was poison making. Before the assassins arrived, she sprinkled poison on their inevitable route.

The two sides did not even exchange blows. In fact, the assassins did not even see Lin Luoxi and the others before they were poisoned and died from their injuries.

Later, the assassins they encountered became increasingly skilled in martial arts, and most of them relied on flying. After the poison Lin Luoxi had planted along the way became ineffective against them, they had no choice but to confront them head-on.

"Brother Hanchuan, just what kind of person is my grandfather in the capital that so many people would send assassins to kill him..."

Wave after wave of assassins, each attack numbering in the hundreds or thousands, each more formidable than the last. Who on earth could possess such wealth to bribe so many assassins?

"That's not necessarily true. Don't forget, we saved Li Muqing before. The evidence she has must involve too many people and touch upon the interests of too many people..."

The thought that these people might be the murderers who harmed their Xie family made Xie Hanchuan even more ruthless in his actions, determined to eliminate them and avenge his family.

Together, the two, along with the incredibly intelligent white tiger, worked flawlessly together and quickly wiped out all the hundreds of assassins.

After killing the assassins, Lin Luoxi looked at their corpses and felt a headache coming on.

"Forget it, never mind. This is deep in the mountains, we should be able to get here. Let them feed the wild beasts in the mountains here..." Xie Hanchuan didn't want to waste his energy burying the bodies of these assassins.

"Okay!" Lin Luoxi nodded, rode the white tiger, and left with Xie Hanchuan, who was riding a horse.

In his mind, however, he was thinking that he should go into the space later to study how to make the corpse-dissolving water, otherwise dealing with these corpses every time was too troublesome.

Without the assassins' interference, after several days of hardship, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan quickly arrived at the gates of the capital.

"It seems my grandfather and the others haven't entered the city yet?" Lin Luoxi hesitated, wondering whether to go into the city first since she didn't see the sign they had agreed upon at the city gate.

"How about we go into the city first? Maybe we can find out some useful information." Xie Hanchuan's brows hadn't relaxed since they finally returned to this ruthless place.

However, now that he was back, he didn't want to sit idly by and wait for his death; he wanted to gather some evidence himself first.

"Brother Hanchuan, don't tell me that after all these years of appearing and disappearing like a ghost, you haven't gathered a single useful piece of information." Lin Luoxi glanced at Xie Hanchuan sideways.

This guy, as soon as he got back to Beijing, immediately looked like he was full of bitterness and resentment. I really want to award him an Oscar.

"Hehe..." Xie Hanchuan's little thoughts were seen through by Lin Luoxi, and he laughed awkwardly.

Looking at this bustling city, Xie Hanchuan thought of Xiao Jingchen, who also loved Lin Luoxi. He then decided to lure Lin Luoxi to his house in the capital and consummate their marriage first.

Ever since they got married, there have been constant problems at home, which is why they haven't even had their wedding night yet.

Lin Luoxi is still not his woman, and he is afraid that if Lin Luoxi comes to the capital, Xiao Jingchen will steal her away from him, and then he will have nowhere to turn to for help.

"Now that a knife is hanging over your neck, you'd better put away your sentimental thoughts and let's go find His Highness the Ninth Prince first."

Lin Luoxi saw through Xie Hanchuan's little scheme at a glance, rolled her eyes at him, left a mark at the city gate of the capital, and then walked into the city.
