Chapter 354 Lin Wenjin, who shielded Princess Ni Chang from a sword
For the safety of Princess Ni Chang, Lin Luoxi had no choice but to let Princess Ni Chang's carriage travel in front of hers.
However, Lin Luoxi's team was so large that it was hard not to attract the attention of others.
The carriage carrying Lin Luoxi's family had just traveled ten miles out of the capital when it was stopped by a group of bandits on Shili Slope.
"My God, are these the legendary bandits?"
Princess Ni Chang, looking completely naive, stared excitedly at the bandits who were about to rob her on the road, chattering incessantly.
Thinking that she herself had practiced martial arts for many years, she wanted to climb off the carriage and fight the bandits on the other side.
"Princess, you mustn't! You are a princess, how can you show your face in public?"
Seeing Princess Ni Chang's bold behavior, her maid quickly reached out and held her down as she tried to climb out of the carriage.
"Xiao Tao, let me go right now, or I'll beat you up later." She had finally gotten a chance to test her strength, and she absolutely couldn't let this maid, Xiao Tao, ruin it.
Princess Ni Chang saw her maid still tugging at her, and noticed that the great battle ahead had already begun.
Princess Ni Chang, fearing she wouldn't have a chance to make a move, quickly reached out and delivered a chop to Xiao Tao, knocking her unconscious.
"Ah, I'm here!" When Princess Ni Chang got off the carriage, she had already taken off the heavy jewelry on her head and left it inside the carriage. Now she was traveling light.
Lin Luoxi, who was in the carriage behind, heard Princess Ni Chang's voice, which sounded like that of a brave and strong man, and was so frightened that she quickly jumped out of the carriage.
Seeing that Princess Ni Chang had already rushed into the battle and still had only a smattering of martial arts skills, they had no choice but to ask Lin Luo Ning, Lin Wen Tao, and the others to make sure that Princess Ni Chang was safe.
"It seems that everyone in the royal family is very discreet."
Seeing that Princess Ni Chang could withstand dozens of moves from those bandits, she was not at all as stupid as Xiao Jingchen had described.
"Then you can't guess why Xiao Jingchen deliberately let you take her away."
Xie Hanchuan rode his horse alongside Lin Luoxi's carriage, both looking at the Lin family members fighting with the bandits ahead, their eyes revealing an expression that they had already guessed.
"Brother Hanchuan, why don't I understand??" Wasn't it because Princess Nishang was stupid that he was sent back to the countryside to impart her experience?
Hearing Xie Hanchuan say that, Lin Luoxi felt as if she smelled a conspiracy theory.
"With the Fifth Prince's downfall, besides the Ninth Prince, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the First Prince are the only ones with the strength to compete for the throne."
“Those three princes are no benevolent people. Xiao Jingchen cares most about his maternal uncle…”
"What her uncle cares about is this innocent girl. If Princess Ni Chang continues to stay in the capital, she will probably become a victim of the competition among those princes."
"In order for his uncle to help him wholeheartedly, he has no choice but to entrust Princess Ni Chang to you. This is the safest way."
After Xie Hanchuan finished speaking, he looked back at the capital city. The capital city was about to change, and leaving now was the right thing to do.
"Damn Xiao Jingchen, he actually tried to play these tricks on me."
"If you tell me the truth, do you think I won't agree..." After figuring out the key point, Lin Luoxi gritted her teeth and cursed Xiao Jingchen.
"Actually, you don't need to be so angry. He probably didn't expect that his cousin, who thought she was stupid, was actually the biggest wolf in sheep's clothing."
"If he knew he'd been tricked by this seemingly naive and foolish cousin, he'd probably be furious..."
"What do you mean?" Lin Luoxi thought her brain was sharp enough, but she couldn't understand Xie Hanchuan's words.
"It means that his seemingly innocent cousin, while outwardly wanting to marry Xiao Jingchen, actually desperately wants to escape the capital..."
Looking at Princess Ni Chang, who was still able to hold her own against the bandits, Xie Hanchuan knew that Princess Ni Chang and the fool they had met that morning were just putting on an act.
However, this Princess Ni Chang is quite capable. She managed to feign stupidity among the scions of noble families in the capital for so long without being discovered, which is quite impressive.
"And these bandits?" Could they have been sent by one of the princes?
“These are bandits!” Xie Hanchuan looked at Lin Luoxi with certainty.
"Yes, these are bandits..."
"I can't take it anymore. My hands itch whenever I see bandits. If I don't rush up and wipe them all out, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight."
After Lin Luoxi finished speaking, she turned around and went back into the carriage. A moment later, she took out the halberd that Lin Lingtian had given her and rushed into the bandit group.
"Wow, Miss Lin is not only beautiful, but also incredibly skilled."
Princess Ni Chang stared at Lin Luoxi in astonishment as she saw Lin Luoxi cleave the other person and his horse in two with a wave of her hand.
Just as Princess Ni Chang was lost in thought, the bandits behind her saw her in a daze, raised a sinister smile, and thrust their long swords forward.
"Be careful." Lin Wenjin, who was to the left of Princess Ni Chang, saw the bandits launch a surprise attack, but it was too late for him to make a move to stop them.
Upon realizing that the other party was a princess, he rushed over without thinking, hugged Princess Ni Chang, turned around sharply, and used his back to shield her from the sword strike.
"Thud..." The sword pierced the body with a dull sound.
"Big brother..." Lin Luoting stared at her older brother with bloodshot eyes, her mind blank as he foolishly shielded Princess Ni Chang from the arrow.
He forcefully chopped off the heads of the bandits blocking his way and charged towards Lin Wenjin.
Princess Ni Chang never expected that someone would risk their life to save her.
She watched helplessly as Lin Wenjin, stabbed, leaned weakly against her, spitting out a mouthful of blood from her collarbone.
"No, no, wake up, wake up..." Princess Ni Chang came to her senses and used her body to support Lin Wenjin's slowly sliding body.
Finally, Princess Ni Chang embraced Lin Wenjin and slowly squatted down as well.
Princess Ni Chang was afraid of hurting Lin Wenjin, so she had Lin Wenjin lie on her lap while she pressed a handkerchief against the sword wound on Lin Wenjin's back.
Presumably because she was too shocked, the bandit who had successfully launched the sneak attack even tried to strike Princess Ni Chang with his sword, but she didn't have time to pay attention.
"You're asking for death!" Lin Luoning slashed down the bandit who was holding her with her sword. Seeing that Princess Ni Chang was in danger, she immediately flew over and cut the bandit in half at the waist.
The smug bandit, who never expected that he would die in the Northwest just as he was about to succeed, turned around and waited for Lin Luoning with a face full of resentment.
Lin Luoning didn't have the resentful look of a bandit. She stomped directly on the head, and with a "bang," brain matter and blood splattered all over the ground.
The horrifying sight of someone's head being crushed made Lin Luoting, who was running in this direction, stop in her tracks.
Staring dumbfounded at Lin Luoning, whose face was covered in blood and who exuded murderous aura, he felt a chill run down his spine.
She didn't know whether to keep walking or go check on her brother's injuries.
