This crown prince is mediocre, but he has a shrewd and calculating mother.
Over the years, these bandits have robbed countless merchants and officials, and all the money has ended up in the prince's pocket.
However, this Consort Xiao is the Empress Dowager's niece, and she has been accompanying the Empress Dowager to Lingnan for recuperation during this period.
Fortunately, Lin Yuxin didn't see anyone at the state banquet, otherwise it would have been even more lively.
"Let's go up first and find my older brother. If we can't find him, we'll hide him. Don't worry about Bai Weiwei."
Lin Yuxin instructed that Bai Weiwei's life or death was none of her business.
"It's Miss."
A group of people headed up the mountain.
When they reached the mountaintop, they indeed saw Bai Weiwei tied to a tree on the edge of a cliff, crying pitifully with tears streaming down her face.
Any man would feel pity and tenderness upon seeing this.
Lin Yuxin looked around but didn't see her older brother. Had he not arrived yet? No, that couldn't be right. It had been so long. Logically, her brother should have finished fighting by now, and it should be time for his legs to be crippled, right?
Lin Chenglie: Sister, thank you so much!!!
Lin Yuxin, having not seen anyone, immediately ordered her men to hide and not take any action, to see what they were up to.
She came here today only to save her older brother; suppressing bandits is not her goal. She hopes to save her brother and then escape unscathed.
So Lin Yuxin hid in a tree a mile away, with Xueying protecting her at all times. Lin Yuxin also told the others to hide and wait for their older brother to appear.
She brought the wrong number of people, only a dozen or so, but that should be enough to deal with the dozen or so bandits on the other side.
"Do you think Lin Chenglie will come? It's been so long, Miss Bai is almost scared to death."
"Who knows? This master is really willing to let such a beautiful woman suffer here."
"How can you possibly guess what our master is thinking? Focus on your work and don't jeopardize important matters."
One of the leaders shouted a reprimand.
"yes!"
Lin Yuxin was hiding in a tree feeding mosquitoes, and she was almost covered in blood. Just when she was getting impatient, she finally saw her lovestruck older brother.
[Big brother, you're finally here! Your sister was practically eaten alive by mosquitoes!! You're taking so long to save a woman, no wonder you're single!]
Lin Yuxin gritted her teeth as she watched her older brother, who had actually come to rescue Bai Weiwei.
Lin Chenglie also heard his sister's voice and almost stumbled, but he managed to steady himself. He looked around but couldn't see the girl.
What's Yuxin doing here? If a fight breaks out, I won't be able to protect her. It seems the plan has changed!
Lin Chenglie was filled with mixed emotions, but there was nothing he could do now. He strode toward the cliff.
"I'm here. Release Miss Bai."
Lin Chenglie shouted loudly at the bandits opposite him.
"Hehehe, Lord Lin really does cherish beauties!"
The leader burst into laughter and said...
"Stop talking nonsense and release them!"
Lin Chenglie frowned and said coldly.
"Lord Lin, release her? We will release her, but you must hand over the military seal to us, otherwise she will be nothing but a corpse."
The leader stated the purpose of the mission directly.
"You want the military tally? You've got it wrong. The military tally isn't with me, and even if it were, I wouldn't give it to you."
Lin Chenglie's cold face was covered in frost.
"Since you don't have the military tally, then you can forget about leaving here. I'll make you two a pair of star-crossed lovers."
The leader placed the knife against Bai Weiwei's neck, bared his teeth, and looked at Lin Chenglie viciously.
"Really? Actually, whether Bai Weiwei lives or dies has little to do with me. The reason I came here is to suppress the bandits."
Lin Chenglie smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.
"Suppress bandits? Hahaha! Are you kidding me? How can one person suppress bandits?"
The leader burst into laughter, as if he had heard something hilarious.
"I can't wipe out the bandits by myself, but do you know why I haven't been here for so long?"
Lin Chenglie kindly asked a question.
"Why?"
The man was taken aback, and immediately had a bad feeling.
"Because I went to get reinforcements! And I was ordered to suppress bandits, you know!"
As Lin Chenglie spoke, he raised his hand and patted the ground. Immediately, a large number of soldiers surged up and surrounded the dozen or so bandits.
"This...this, don't move, or I'll kill her."
The leader panicked. With so many soldiers, if he didn't get the military tally today, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
His men were also in a panic, their hands holding the knives trembling.
"Go ahead and kill her. Anyway, she's the Crown Prince's woman. When the Crown Prince asks about it, I'll just say she was killed by bandits. It won't be my fault."
Lin Chenglie seemed indifferent.
"No, Brother Chenglie, save me, save me, I don't want to die, waaaaah!"
Bai Weiwei panicked. She didn't want to die! She still wanted to be the Crown Princess, and she hadn't yet enjoyed all the riches and honors she hadn't achieved!
"Miss Bai, don't worry. If you really die today, I will definitely send you back to the Bai family intact and give you a proper send-off."
Lin Chenglie's serious expression as he uttered such shameless words left Bai Weiwei speechless and Lin Yuxin dumbfounded.
Is this still her serious, introverted, and strict older brother? Has he been possessed? Or has something happened that I don't know about? Has he been traumatized to say such shameless things?
[It's so satisfying to watch, that's exactly how you should confront her. This woman is just stringing you along because you like her, she deserves it.]
Lin Chenglie's ears turned slightly red; his sister had praised him!
