Starting with a cub, the superpower boss becomes the richest man by lying flat

Chapter 80 Is there a child in there?

After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Xin packed up the empty packaging bags and mineral water bottles, then lay down on a recliner, basking in the sun and resting her eyes. She was a little tired after driving all night and the road conditions in ancient times were not very good.

As I was taking care of it, I actually fell asleep.

Listening to her even breathing, Mo Ziyuan turned his head. Although she had a sickly face of a thirty-year-old, he still stared at her unconsciously.

It was unknown how long it had been before the sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Lin Xin suddenly opened her eyes, and Mo Ziyuan stood up immediately and walked towards the room with the collapsed roof.

Lin Xin quickly folded up the recliner, thought for a moment, and then took out a crossbow and a bolt and handed it to him. "If the wrong person comes, you can use it to shoot them. It can also protect you."

Mo Ziyuan took it and gave her a deep look, "Be careful and protect yourself."

Lin Xin nodded, and he disappeared into the dilapidated house.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was approaching. Lin Xin stood not far from the wall, ready to go.

A head wearing a helmet popped up from the top of the wall. After seeing her, he was stunned for a moment, then climbed over the wall, followed by the second, the third, and finally the last one, the thirteenth, who was holding a large basket in his hand.

The two sides stood face to face, forming a 1V13 situation, and observed each other.

After waiting for a while, Lin Xin didn't get any hint from Mo Ziyuan.

The last person casually dropped the basket on the ground with a muffled sound. Lin Xin frowned, feeling a bad premonition.

At the same time, a crossbow arrow shot out from the next room with a "whoosh" sound, hitting the man holding the basket right in the middle of his eyebrows. The man didn't even have time to scream, and fell to the ground unwillingly with his eyes wide open and a bloody hole in his eyebrows.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden arrow and turned to look at the room. At the same time, Lin Xin moved. She quickly ran to the group of people and gently waved her right hand at the neck of the person closest to the room where Mo Ziyuan was. A stream of blood spurted out. The person covered his neck in disbelief, his eyes bulging out, but he could not escape the fate of death.

Lin Xin did the same thing and wiped the necks of two more people.

At this time, the people who came finally reacted, and the remaining ten people surrounded her.

"Who are you? Where is Mo Ziyuan?" one of them asked.

Lin Xin firmly adhered to the belief that "villains die because they talk too much", and without saying a word, she acted and harvested another life with a wave of her hand.

The pupils of the remaining people suddenly shrank, and they tacitly formed a circle to surround Lin Xin. Four of them rushed towards her, waving their weapons.

Although they had already pushed their speed to the limit, it was not considered fast in Lin Xin's eyes. She moved erratically among them, and the knife in her hand left scars on their bodies from time to time. Soon, two of them had lost their ability to fight.

Two more people joined the battle, and the encirclement narrowed a little.

Lin Xin was filled with fighting spirit. She was not at a disadvantage when fighting against four people alone. She quickly cut off the palms of three people, and all of them were right palms holding weapons.

When there were only four people left who were able to fight, someone finally remembered the first person who had shot an arrow at them.

"In the room over there." The few of them had fought together for many years and had already developed a good tacit understanding. As soon as that person opened his mouth, the others understood what he meant. One of them ran towards the room where Mo Ziyuan was, and the remaining three launched a full-scale attack on Lin Xin.

They already knew they couldn't capture Lin Xin no matter what, and there was a high possibility they would be completely wiped out. Killing another was a pleasant surprise. Lin Xin wasn't worried about Mo Ziyuan's condition. She had given him weapons for self-defense and was confident in his strength. Even though he was injured, he was more than enough to take on one person.

As she expected, the man was forced back by three consecutive crossbow arrows before he even reached the dilapidated house. Then Mo Ziyuan fired another three-shot burst, one of which was dodged, and the other two, one penetrated the man's right eye, and one pierced his throat. He fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died.

Lin Xin was also planning to speed up and end the battle. Just now, she suddenly heard a baby crying. The sound was very weak, and it came from the basket that was casually placed on the ground.

Could it be that there is a child in there?

Lin Xin thought as she cut the last man's neck with a knife.

Thirteen people came in total, eight of them had their throats cut by Lin Xin. Although the remaining five were still alive, they had all lost their combat effectiveness. They were either lying or crawling on the ground, glaring at Lin Xin angrily.

Lin Xin ignored them and walked straight to the basket. She lifted the blue cotton cloth with white flowers on it, revealing a small baby wrapped in a light yellow brocade swaddling cloth. The baby was crying with its toothless mouth open. It was unclear whether it was because of hunger or discomfort. The cry was as weak as a cat's meow. When she lifted the cotton cloth, the baby started crying louder.

Mo Ziyuan also walked out of the house. When he passed the five living people, he shot a crossbow arrow at each of their heads. Then he walked to Lin Xin and stared at the baby in the basket with her.

"Could he... could he be the little emperor's grandson?" Lin Xin asked, pointing at the toothless baby.

Mo Ziyuan picked up the baby, opened the swaddling clothes, turned him over, and pointed to a leaf-shaped red birthmark on his buttocks. "Yes, that's him."

Lin Xin's eyes widened. "He's the one you were talking about finding a companion for Lin Nan?"

"Ahem," Mo Ziyuan coughed awkwardly. "I was thinking that the Imperial Grandson is eight months old. Letting Nan Nan watch him grow up would help foster a bond, wouldn't it? It would be beneficial for Nan Nan's future."

"Hmph! The prerequisite is that your Royal Highness the Crown Prince can win this game. Otherwise, not to mention the benefits, even my life will be in danger. I must have been crazy to agree to you at that time." Lin Xin's voice was filled with a hint of annoyance.

"No, I will use my life to protect you and Nan Nan, and I will never let anything happen to you." Mo Ziyuan promised solemnly.

"Come on! I would never give my life to others to protect, especially if that person doesn't have the ability to do so." Lin Xin snorted unmoved.

Mo Ziyuan knew he was in the wrong, so he shrank his neck and stood aside holding the little grandson. However, as the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, he had an air of arrogance about him, which was inconsistent with his shrunken neck. Lin Xin felt a pain in her eyes when she saw it, and she quickly looked away.

On the other side, there were corpses everywhere. Lin Xin turned back helplessly, "What should we do here?"

"Don't worry about it, someone will take care of it."

"I say," Lin Xin asked, staring at the swaddled baby in his arms, "Are you absolutely sure this is the emperor's grandson?"

Mo Ziyuan nodded, "I'm sure."

Lin Xin shrugged. "Okay, then why don't you inform the Crown Prince about what just happened? After all, the person he sent out to escort his son must be one of his closest confidants."

"Let's wait until dark. I will go to the Prince's Mansion in person after dark." Mo Ziyuan replied in a deep voice.
