Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

"Everyone, stay close to me, let's get into the cave!"

A commotion broke out at the cave entrance, interrupting Lin Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

Lin Xiaoxiao was not surprised by their arrival.

After all, people can't learn by being taught, but you only need to teach someone about a practice once.

After the group entered the cave, they saw that Lin Xiaoxiao and the others were hiding inside the cave without any damage.

He couldn't help but feel jealous.

However, because they hadn't listened to advice before, they didn't say anything.

Lin Wanwan glanced at Qingyao. If it were before, Qingyao would have questioned Lin Xiaoxiao on her behalf for not stopping them from entering the dilapidated temple, without her having to speak.

But now this girl is just standing there, completely still.

Were they scared out of their wits by the tornado?

Everyone searched inside the cave for a place to get some fresh air and warmth.

Especially near the Song family's residence, a large number of people gathered because of the bonfires burning.

Lu Hu didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the fire to dry his clothes.

Lu Hu couldn't help but swallow when he saw the bowl of chicken soup left over from the Song family's meal.

He looked at Song Huai'an ingratiatingly: "General Song, your chicken soup looks really good."

Song Huai'an pretended not to understand and said, "Isn't that right? This was a call from Xiaoxiao."

Lu Hu: "So it was Miss Xiaoxiao who did it. That's quite an achievement."

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Hu awkwardly shut his mouth.

But then I thought, I am their bodyguard, and they are the prisoners now.

Let alone a bowl of chicken soup, they would have to offer a whole chicken instead.

Having made up his mind, he looked up, ready to lash out.

Then I found a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup being handed to me.

Lu Hu was momentarily at a loss for how to react.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Lord Lu, drink it while it's hot!"

"This is for me, for me, and for you all!"

"Okay, thank you, Miss Lin. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me."

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled but didn't say anything.

She wasn't deliberately flattering these officers and soldiers; it was just a bowl of leftover chicken soup.

There's really no need to offend Lu Hu.

The reason I didn't take them out from the beginning was to prevent Lu Hu from developing a habit of coveting their things.

After drinking the chicken soup, Lu Hu felt much warmer.

Zhao Feng stood up and spoke to Lin Xiaoxiao in a commanding tone.

"There are still a lot of wild animals behind you. Hurry up and cook them all and distribute them to everyone."

What he really wanted was for his beloved Qingyao to also have a bowl of meat soup to warm her up.

Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him: "If you want meat soup, go to the back mountain and get it yourself. You're a grown man."

Are you not even as good as a mere woman like me?

Zhao Feng was surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao didn't take him seriously.

In order not to lose face in front of the person he loves.

I wanted to raise my hand and teach her a lesson.

But my wrist was grabbed from behind, and it wasn't just my wrist.

He felt as if half of his arm was being restrained.

This familiar feeling made him tremble uncontrollably.

Da Kui's angry voice rang out behind him: "You bastard, you still want to lay a hand on Madam? I think you don't want this arm anymore."

This time, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything to stop it!

She had stopped him before because she didn't want to get involved with these officials, so she gave him a chance.

With a snap, Zhao Feng's arm broke off in Da Kui's hand.

"Ah!! My arm!"

After Da Kui put him down, Zhao Feng curled up on the ground, clutching his injured arm, and cried incessantly.

Lu Hu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant when he saw his men being disciplined.

The warmth on his face was gone, and he looked up at Lin Xiaoxiao reproachfully.

"Miss Lin, isn't your treatment of my subordinate somewhat inappropriate?"

Lin Xiaoxiao took out a gold ingot from her sleeve and threw it to Lu Hu.

"This is the medical payment for your subordinates; Lord Lu is free to dispose of it as he sees fit!"

Since ancient times, the rich have always been the boss, let alone a greedy person like Lu Hu.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think he would really stand up for Zhao Feng.

He was simply too proud to admit it.

Lu Hu chuckled and put away the gold: "Hehe, since Miss Lin is so generous, it would be wrong of me to hold it against her."

Seeing Lu Hu's face change so quickly, even Song Huai'an began to doubt his own worldview!

How can money change a person so much?

Qingyao saw Zhao Feng rolling on the ground in pain, and a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes.

He had always been very kind to me, and I had never felt that warmth before.

Although I don't have that passionate love for him, I've unknowingly put him in my heart.

Lin Wanwan glanced at Zhao Feng with disdain, not expecting his combat strength to be so low.

He whispered to Qingyao, "Stop looking, or someone will notice something's amiss."

Although Qingyao didn't speak, she still looked away.

Zhao Feng was also carried aside by the other guards to be taken care of.

Fortunately, they had stockpiled a lot of firewood beforehand. That night, they managed to save some.

The ever-burning fire filled the cave with a lot of heat.

the next day!

Seeing that things had calmed down outside, Lu Hu immediately ordered them to set off.

All their belongings were swept away by the tornado.

After a thorough search near the ruined temple, only a small amount of supplies were found.

They urgently need to find a place to replenish their supplies.

Lu Hu even ordered that no more food be distributed, and the convicts in the group were hungry again after being frightened yesterday.

The group of people all looked like refugees.

Lu Hu didn't let everyone rest at noon this time either.

Instead, they headed straight for the next town.

Before even getting close to the town, a luxurious carriage could be seen parked by the roadside in the distance.

Several men dressed as servants stood beside the carriage.

There was also a nanny and two maids.

If they hadn't been looking in their direction, Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't have noticed them.

Once they got closer, the middle-aged man in the lead whispered a few words to Lu Hu.

Then I saw Lu Hu accept a package from that man.

She smiled and led the man to Lin Wanwan.

The man was very respectful when he saw Lin Wanwan.

They immediately invited the entire Lin family onto the carriage.

Lu Hu led the group and followed behind their carriage.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked in the group, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that Chu Junze rescued the Lin family?

But that’s not right!

If Chu Junze were to intervene, he should be taking the person towards the capital!

"The Lin family is truly blessed!"

"That's right, that's right! You always seem to meet a helpful person!"

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the two women beside her who were shivering from the cold.

Even now that things have come to this, we still need to make some evaluation of the female protagonist's experiences according to the book's setting!
