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

Despite the incessant laughter of the bandits, Su Mochen's expression remained calm, even showing a hint of reluctance between his brows.

His reaction displeased Scarface.

What kind of expression is that?

He immediately ordered, "Men, ignore this kid's threats, take all the stuff away and send it up the mountain."

Upon seeing this, Su Mochen turned away with a look of regret.

Scarface thought he couldn't bear to see his valuables stolen, and laughed smugly.

But the next second, his smile froze on his face.

A faint red line appeared on his neck, and then his head tilted back strangely before finally falling to the ground.

"Ahhh~!"

"Ahhh!!"

After a moment of stunned silence, everyone screamed and tried to run away.

However, they were surrounded by bandits, so they could only run around aimlessly.

Seeing their leader killed, the bandits felt not only anger but also a chill run down their spines.

Even though they had done so many bad things, they were still so frightened by the scene before them that they didn't know how to react.

"Kill them! Avenge the boss!"

The first bandit to react, brandishing his knife, ran over like a madman.

But before he could reach the destination, he was cut in half at the waist.

The other bandits were immediately thrown into a panic, looking around in fear.

However, it was impossible to find out who did it.

Song Wenjing quickly shielded Lin Xiaoxiao behind him, but Lin Xiaoxiao was already immune to such situations.

In the apocalypse, those who survived even resorted to cannibalism to stay alive.

Song Wenjing looked down at Lin Xiaoxiao's clear eyes, seemingly unfazed by what had just happened.

He gently rubbed her head, feeling sorry for her.

He didn't know what Lin Xiaoxiao had gone through to be so calm now.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

The remaining bandits dared not go any further, but they were still somewhat unwilling to leave like this.

So they bowed to Su Mochen and said, "We have already experienced your skills, and we know we are no match for you. But these people..."

The bandits pointed at Lu Hu and said, "They shouldn't have anything to do with you anymore, right?"

Su Mochen glanced at Lu Hu, his thin lips parted slightly: "None of my business!"

Lu Hu tried to approach the bandits to beg for mercy, but they blocked his way.

The bandit glared at Lu Hu fiercely. Even a fly's meat is meat, and he and his brothers couldn't have made a wasted trip.

The skinny bandit who had been pulling Su Mochen's cart earlier accidentally got stuck on a rock when he tried to push it back.

The cart overturned instantly, and everything on it spilled out.

He hurriedly got up and tried to repack the things when he heard his second-in-command roar.

"Everyone, retreat quickly! Don't stop, get back to Longhu Mountain at all costs!"

After seeing the items on the cart, Lin Xiaoxiao slowly approached her own cart.

Song Wenjing also gave Da Kui a look, and after Da Kui understood, he had all the women of the Song family get into the carriage.

The bandits who fled in all directions were either shot by arrows from who-knows-where or were mercilessly torn apart.

Song Wenjing quickly approached Lu Hu and whispered, "Lord Lu, we should set off immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Hu suddenly snapped out of his daze, turned his gaze away from the cart, and immediately ordered them to set off.

Su Mochen glanced at the crowd fleeing in panic and sighed helplessly.

I messed it up.

However, I believe the Song family will keep my identity well hidden.

Song Huai'an and Song Wenjing look forward to seeing you again!

Lu Hu led the group for an unknown amount of time, until they could walk no more and finally stopped, panting heavily.

"Why was that person's cart full of weapons?"

"Aren't they wealthy businessmen?"

"They not only have ruthless killers around them, but also so many weapons. Are they planning a rebellion?"

The room fell silent for a moment after he said that.

Lu Hu was riding a horse, so he wasn't tired. He loudly stopped the crowd, saying, "No one is allowed to discuss what happened today anymore."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, knowing that this was indeed not a matter for them to discuss.

Lin Xiaoxiao went to another carriage to check on Chen's condition.

She was worried that the horse had been moving so fast that Chen might not have been able to withstand the jolting.

"Xiaoxiao, are you alright?"

Upon meeting, Chen showed great concern for Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked over and took Chen's hand: "I'm fine, but Grandmother, can you still take it?"

Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "I can bear it. Luckily, the cushion you prepared was soft, which saved this old woman a lot of suffering."

Xie Yurou was unaware of what had happened outside and thought they had just been hiding from bandits.

But now, seeing Lin Xiaoxiao currying favor with the Chen family, he immediately couldn't sit still.

She deliberately squeezed in front of Chen and squatted down.

Looking up at Lin Xiaoxiao, she smiled and said, "Sister, I'm fine with Grandmother here. You don't need to make a special trip here."

Chen's smile faded as she looked at Xie Yurou and reminded her, "You don't need to call Xiaoxiao 'sister,' you're a bit older than her."

Xie Yurou's lips twitched. They were the same age, did they really need to be so precise about it?

She obediently shook her head: "It's okay, calling me that shows that I respect my older sister."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked down at her: "I think Grandmother is right. We don't need to call each other sisters, since we're not close, are we?"

Xie Yurou was surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao would be so disrespectful to her. After awkwardly getting up, she looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said obediently, "Since you're not used to it, I'll change how I address you."

Lin Xiaoxiao stared at her for a while, wanting to see how long she could hold out.

Despite her efforts to hide her emotions, Lin Xiaoxiao still saw jealousy in her eyes. Every time she looked at her, there was an inescapable resentment in her eyes.

Seeing that Chen was alright, Lin Xiaoxiao was relieved.

He smiled at Madam Chen and said, "Since Grandmother is alright, I'll go outside and see what the situation is."

Mrs. Chen looked at her with satisfaction and nodded: "Alright, go ahead, I'll be fine."

After Lin Xiaoxiao went outside, she saw Lu Hu counting the number of people, and then she discovered that Lin Huaiming was nowhere to be found.

Lu Hu immediately sent men to search for his whereabouts, because if the man escaped on the road, he would also be implicated.

Because of Lin Huaiming's escape, Lu Hu had to stop his journey.

While anxiously searching for Lin Huaiming's whereabouts, they were also worried that Su Mochen and his group would catch up.

Fortunately, Lin Huaiming had little survival experience and was quickly found by the constables in a big tree and brought back.

Lu Hu lashed him hard with his whip, but there was no time to deal with him now.

We had no choice but to escort him on his journey and teach him a lesson once we reached a safe place.

After Lin Huaiming was brought back, he knew that his fate would be very tragic.

She hurriedly went to Madam Gu and begged her to save her.

Madam Gu sighed and looked at him, saying, "You brat, why didn't you discuss running away with your grandmother first?"

Do you know that if you hadn't been caught, your sister and I would have been killed?

Lin Huaiming pretended to be scared and cried, "I'm sorry, Grandmother, I didn't know it was so serious. I was only thinking of taking this opportunity to escape and then find a chance to come back and rescue you."

"I was being too naive. Grandma, please save her!"

Lin Wanwan glanced at her younger brother but did not expose his lie.

Madam Gu looked distressed, but there was nothing she could do.

They had no choice but to set their sights on Lin Wanwan.

"Wanwan, why don't you take some silver and plead with Lord Lu on his behalf?"

Lin Wanwan looked at her coldly and said, "Don't say I don't have any money. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to save him this time."

He was the first prisoner to escape. To make him easier to manage in the future, Lu Hu would not only not let him go this time, but would also give him a severe lesson to deter others.

Lin Wanwan's words frightened Lin Huaiming so much that he collapsed onto the carriage.

He looked at Lin Wanwan in horror: "Sister, please think of something and save me!"

Thinking of his previous ruthlessness, Lin Wanwan coldly said, "What can I do?"
