Chapter 518 Extra: Falling for the Bandit's Fox Cloak
Although he did not want to be emperor, he still had to fulfill his duties during his reign.
He neither expects to be remembered for his deeds nor does he wish to leave behind a notorious reputation during his reign.
"Xiao Jingchen, the snow disaster in the country has been brought under control. You and I need to go to the border to take a look..." The soldiers at the border are of utmost importance.
The fear is that other countries might take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the border.
"Okay, you can go without worry. I'll guard this place." Lin Luoxi has already resolved the issues in the capital. It would be too pathetic if he couldn't hold the fort.
Given the urgency of the situation, Lin Luoxi didn't waste any more words with Xiao Jingchen and quickly took her child and husband to the border.
Xiao Jingchen assumed that Lin Luoxi had set off with her own people, so he did not send any of his own men to accompany her on the disaster relief mission.
This made Lin Luoxi's subsequent operations easier; even if she conjured food or warm clothing out of thin air, she wouldn't be seen by others.
The northern border used to be guarded by the Xie family, but since the Xie family was slandered by treacherous officials in the court for colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, General Wen has been guarding it.
The further north Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan went, the more severe the snow disaster became.
However, because it snows here every year, the local people have more experience in dealing with snow disasters than the people in Beijing.
Warm clothing was readily available, and houses were either built or people lived in sturdy earthen kilns, so there was not much damage.
However, due to the climate, they don't have much grain left after paying taxes.
Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, they have eaten not only the prepared food, but also the seeds.
Seeing this, Lin Luoxi immediately took out some food to help them.
Ensuring that there was enough food for them until the snow melted, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan continued northward.
This was the first time they had encountered such unusual weather. Even Lin Luoxi, Xie Hanchuan, and the five children, who were all practicing martial arts, dared not rest outside when they stopped to take a break. Instead, they all ran to the Space Villa to escape the cold wind.
This also indirectly prevented those who saw Lin Luoxi's family traveling from trying to rob them of their food, as they couldn't find anyone there.
Lin Luoxi was unaware of the commotion outside. If she had known, those robbers who wanted to harm them would certainly have met a bad end.
When dawn broke, Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan left the space with their carriage and continued on their journey.
The cold wind outside was biting; if it blew on people's skin for too long, it could cause their skin to crack. In order to prevent the children from suffering like this, Lin Luoxi simply had them stay inside the space.
"Robbery! Hand over all the grain in your wagons!"
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan had just left the space and hadn't even walked a mile when a group of robbers wearing mink coats appeared in front of them.
The robbers had received accurate information that the couple's carriage had a lot of grain.
When the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, grain is the most valuable commodity, and silver is insignificant compared to it.
"If you want food, then bring it on..." Lin Luoxi originally wanted to say that their food had already been distributed to the people.
But seeing the group of fierce-looking robbers in front of him, and fearing that they would go into the village to rob the villagers of their food, he changed his mind.
"They're simply courting death."
Seeing that Lin Luoxi was so rude and provocative, the bandit leader on the other side waved his hand and ordered his men to teach the two men a lesson.
"Hmph!" Not only did these bandits covet their food, but Lin Ruoxi also coveted their animal skin coats.
Their animal skin coats look very warm; if they wore them, they wouldn't be afraid of such harsh weather.
Xie Hanchun understood Lin Luoxi's meaning, and when the robbers rushed up, he drew the sword from his waist and charged forward.
Xie Hanchuan's kung fu skills also reached a profound level after being cleansed by the spiritual water in Lin Luoxi's space.
He killed without shedding blood; he brought his opponent down, yet the blood did not stain the animal skin coats.
"Honey, hurry up and strip them of their clothes." She was especially envious of the white fox fur cloak worn by the leader of the robbers.
It's such a waste to pair such a dark-skinned person with such a white fox fur cloak.
"Alright!" Following Lin Luoxi's instructions, Xie Hanchuan sped up considerably, rushing towards the bandit leader like lightning.
Before the other party could react, he ripped off his cloak and threw it towards Lin Luoxi, thus defeating him.
"Yes, in this snowy weather, you still need to wear a fur cloak like this to keep warm."
Although she was skilled in martial arts, in such harsh weather, even if she wrapped herself up like a ball, she still felt cold.
"My wife looks the best; she makes this fox fur cloak look absolutely stunning."
Xie Hanchuan looked at Lin Luoxi, who was wrapped in fox fur, and found her even more petite, which made him happy.
"I think so too!" Lin Luoxi said proudly, raising her chin without any modesty.
“Honey, since this fox cloak is so warm, we should be careful later. There are definitely snow foxes around here.”
"Get a few more, and make a cape for each child." Lin Luoxi's tone suggested she wanted to wipe out the entire Snow Fox family.
"Great!" Xie Hanchuan thought that Lin Luoxi looked good in the cloak and wanted to give each of the children a cloak as well.
Seeing the corpses scattered on the ground, Lin Luoxi poured out a large bucket of corpse-dissolving water. Only after witnessing the pile of corpses turn into the corpse water and blend into the snow did the two leave with peace of mind.
"Honey, look over there..." Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan hadn't gone far with the carriage when several white figures darted out in front of them.
When those figures saw Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, they straightened up, glanced at Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan, and then quickly left.
Xie Hanchuan also saw those white and agile figures. Before Lin Luoxi could finish speaking, he took out the bow and arrow he had prepared beforehand from behind his back, drew the bow, nocked the arrow, and fired.
"Whoosh whoosh..." Three arrows were fired simultaneously, each imbued with internal force, and flew rapidly toward the snow foxes.
The arrows never missed their mark; each arrow pierced two snow foxes.
"What a fine arrow!" Lin Luoxi couldn't help but clap her hands in praise when she saw Xie Hanchuan's archery skills.
"Wife, if you were to make a move, the other three would definitely not be able to escape," Xie Hanchuan said modestly, knowing his wife's archery skills well.
"Clatter clatter clatter..." Just as Lin Luoxi was about to be modest, the sound of many horses' hooves came from the snowy landscape.
"Bring those snow foxes over..." A sweet yet domineering voice came from behind Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan's carriage, seemingly intending to steal Xie Hanchuan's spoils.
