Chapter 571 Extra: Li Muqing and her two children encounter trouble on the road

Enjoying the servants' pampering, she soaked in hot water, washing away the fatigue of her journey.

"Oh my god, this is the first time I've ever thought food tasted so good."

At the dinner table, Lin Wenqian wolfed down his food like a starving ghost.

"Big brother, eat slowly, no one's going to steal your food!" Lin Luoxi had barely finished speaking when the braised pork knuckle on the table was already empty.

"You guys are exaggerating. We've fed you a lot along the way, but you're acting like refugees."

The food had only been on the table for a short while when the braised prawns were completely devoured. Lin Luoxi couldn't hold back any longer and asked the others who were eating, speechless.

"Second sister, you don't know, when you come back to your hometown, everything tastes delicious, especially when you're eating with so many people."

"Coming back here has made me feel so much better, both physically and mentally!"

Lin Wenqian ate crab legs quickly, his mouth greasy as he spoke to Lin Luoxi.

Lin Luoxi found it hard to accept that Lin Wenqian was eating without any inhibitions or pretense, especially seeing his greasy mouth; she couldn't bear to look at him.

"Mom, if you don't pick up some food soon, there won't be any left." Xie Zhili saw that Lin Luoxi was talking and was afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat, so he quickly reminded her.

"Okay, I understand." Although the way these people were eating was unseemly, she couldn't let her stomach suffer, so she picked up the dishes in front of her and ate elegantly.

After a long journey and sleeping outdoors in the wind and rain, and without getting any rest, everyone ate and drank their fill and went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Wenjin and Yang Xiaofeng's house was located at the foot of the mountain near the Princess's Mansion. After they finished eating, they agreed to go down the mountain together.

I plan to go back tonight and write a letter home, which I will have a servant deliver to the capital.

On the way, watching Xie Zhili and his friends' performance, the two of them decided to let their own child come back and study with Xie Zhili and his friends.

It is said that one becomes like the company one keeps. By hanging out with Xie Zhili and his friends, one can always learn a thing or two from them.

The next morning.

"Second sister, I think your sister-in-law should be arriving in Qingshan City soon. I'll go to the city gate to take a look."

After a quick breakfast, Lin Wenqian, afraid of missing his wife, left Lin Luoxi with these words and ran out.

"Is my sister-in-law coming? Let's go see her..." After finishing her seafood porridge, Lin Luoxi stood up and walked outside.

"Wife, wait for me!" Xie Hanchuan saw Lin Luoxi go out, poured the seafood porridge in his bowl into his mouth, touched it, and ran after her.

"Let's go see if Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze have really come."

When Xie Zhili saw that his mother and father had run away, they put down their bowls and followed them out.

I'm quite looking forward to it, since Lin Wenqian told me that Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze are staying here.

The journey from the capital to Qingshan City was not so smooth for Li Muqing, Lin Yunyuan, and their son Lin Yunze.

Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze were both restless people. On the road, whenever they encountered refugees, they would stick their heads out to watch the excitement.

Although the two brothers, Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze, are mischievous, they have been well-educated by Lin Wenqian and Li Muqing, and are kind-hearted.

Seeing these disaster victims returning home in tattered clothes, Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze felt compassion and took out their pocket money to give to these refugees.

Having never experienced the dangers of being a refugee, Li Muqing was unaware that this would cause the refugees to scramble for loot and harbor thieving intentions.

Seeing that Li Muqing had a child with her, the child had a lot of money, and she only had a few guards with her, some of the refugees immediately harbored malicious intentions.

They deliberately created a riot among the displaced people, pushing Li Muqing, Lin Yunyuan, and Lin Yunze, along with their two children, away from the guards.

They intended to harm the mother and her two children, but fortunately, the brothers Lin Yunyuan and Lin Yunze knew some martial arts, which prevented them from being bullied even more severely than the refugees.

"Uncle Lightning, something seems to have happened up ahead?" Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Yize looked at the encirclement formed by a group of refugees not far away, and familiar voices could be heard from inside from time to time.

"It's none of our business, we need to get going." Lightning looked at the many young refugees and, adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, wanted to quickly drive the carriage away from this place of trouble.

The person he was supposed to protect was the Crown Prince. If something happened to him because he felt sorry for him, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"Stop! Don't you dare touch my mother..."

Just as Lightning spurred his horse to quickly pass the group, Lin Yunyuan's furious voice rang out.

"Uncle Lightning, that's Lin Yunyuan's voice. Something must have happened to them."

Lin Yunyuan and Xiao Yize both studied at the Royal Academy, so Xiao Yize was naturally familiar with Lin Yunyuan's voice.

"Whoa!"

A flicker of helplessness crossed Lightning's eyes. He had originally intended to ignore it, but now he had no choice but to.

The other party is Princess Changping's own nephew. If he sits idly by and does nothing, it would be against all reason.

"Your Highness, please do not move around in the carriage and do not let anyone see you. I will be right back."

"Yes, Uncle Lightning, don't worry, I can protect myself." Xiao Yize nodded.

Although he was the crown prince, his father did not spoil him. Instead, he made him learn all the survival skills, wishing he would master all kinds of martial arts and become a martial arts master.

Lightning flashed by, and without a word, the fight began.

"You have some nerve, daring to lay a hand on Princess Changping's own nephew."

Lightning struck down everyone, then stared coldly at the fallen refugees on the ground and said.

"Since you've been so ungrateful, I'll send you on your way."

Lightning thought of these people, so easily tempted, so emboldened to attack passersby, and decided to kill them all.

He raised his sword and with a few swift strokes, dispatched all the displaced people who harbored malicious intentions.

"Ah, ah, murder, murder..." The other refugees watching from a distance screamed in terror when they saw Lightning kill someone without warning.

"Madam Lin, Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, are you alright?" After killing the man, Lightning turned around and looked at the three pale-faced people, Li Muqing, Lin Yunyuan, and Lin Yunze, and asked them with rare concern.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, thank you for saving my life, hero." Lin Yunyuan bowed to Lightning in a proper manner.

"Young Master Lin, there's no need for such a grand ceremony. I'm here on the Emperor's orders to escort the Crown Prince to Qingshan City. I wonder if your route is convenient? Would you like to join us?"

Out of consideration for Lin Luoxi's family, Lightning, unusually soft-hearted, invited them to set off together.

"It's on my way, it's on my way. Thank you so much, sir."

Although Li Muqing didn't recognize Lightning, she heard that this highly skilled man had escorted Xiao Yize to Qingshan City. She guessed that he was going to find Lin Luoxi, and immediately gave Lightning a grateful smile.
