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

Chapter 158 This woman is not to be underestimated
Just as Mo Ziyuan had predicted, less than a hundred miles from the capital, Lin Xin and Chu Yu encountered their first major attack since they set off.

In fact, apart from the initial few tests, they managed to fool them for a while. Unfortunately, this time the people who were lying in ambush not only recognized Chu Yu, but also Lin Xin, and knew that she had a close relationship with Mo Ziyuan. In addition, since she came from Liulin Village, they became more suspicious of her.

Moreover, this person was decisive. He immediately mobilized everyone he could to surround Lin Xin and Chu Yu, while he himself hid in the shadows and carefully observed.

Although Lin Xin had a space to cheat, she wasn't stupid enough to expose this deadly secret in front of so many people. As a result, she had to make use of her superpower. However, she still wanted to play it safe until the very last moment, so she didn't use her ultimate move right away.

So, surrounded by dozens of people, Chu Yu had to protect Lin Nan and Lin Tao in the carriage while also keeping Lin Xin from getting hurt. Even with his superb martial arts skills, he was suddenly stretched thin.

Seeing the wounds constantly appearing on his body, Lin Xin decisively activated her water-based superpower. Sharp water blades flashed with cold light in the night, reaping lives one after another.

This was the first time Chu Yu had ever truly witnessed Lin Xin in action. He saw her sitting calmly at the carriage door with a cold expression, her hands moving swiftly. At that moment, he almost thought he was witnessing a god of death descend upon the world, and he was even a little afraid to look directly into her eyes, which were devoid of any emotion.

Those hidden in the shadows, witnessing her terrifying skills, became even more certain of their suspicions: the person they were looking for must be on this carriage, and everyone before them had been deceived.

"This message must be delivered to the Third Prince. This woman is not to be underestimated. If possible, it would be best to eliminate her first, otherwise, who knows how many more people will die at her hands." This was the man's truest thought at that moment, because he still hadn't seen what kind of hidden weapon Lin Xin used to kill so many of them.

He slowly backed away, hoping his movements wouldn't attract Lin Xin's attention.

However, things didn't go as planned. He was so focused on observing Lin Xin that he didn't notice his footing and accidentally stepped into a ditch in the grass. He lost his balance and fell flat on his back.

But he reacted quickly, immediately rolling away from the battlefield.

Looking back, he saw that there were hardly any people left standing on his side. He hardened his heart, cut his arm with a knife, turned inside out his coat, and wrote down Lin Xin's information while his clothes were stained with blood.

"I'm certain the Emperor's son is in this carriage. Also, this woman is exceptionally difficult to deal with. I urge the Third Prince to be extremely careful, and if possible, it would be best to kill her as soon as possible." After writing this, he carefully straightened his clothes, turned around and returned to the war zone, where he slit his own throat with his sword.

All those who tried to stop them were dead, and Lin Xin's powers were also greatly depleted. Her face was pale as she leaned against the car door, watching Chu Yu stab each of the surviving people in a vital spot.

"It seems our information has been leaked. We must leave as soon as possible." Chu Yu, who had been stabbed in the shoulder and thigh, nimbly jumped onto the carriage and spoke, avoiding Lin Xin's gaze.

"Here, take this bottle of medicine. Apply it yourself. I'm going to rest for a while." Lin Xin didn't care about this. She took out a medicine jar from her spatial storage, tossed it to Chu Yu, and then turned and got into the carriage.

Lin Nan and Lin Tao lay side by side in the carriage, sleeping soundly, completely undisturbed by the fierce battle that had just taken place.

"I hope we can get to the capital as soon as possible. Although this medicine is said to be harmless, you are still young. It's hard to say whether there will be any side effects from using too much," Lin Xin said with a sigh.

Hearing this from outside the carriage, Chu Yu turned to look at the carriage with a very complicated expression. After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he uncorked the medicine jar, took out the ointment, and applied it to the wound. A cool sensation spread, and the previous pain was relieved a lot.

He tucked the medicine jar into his robes, cracked his whip, and set off again in his carriage. Three hours later, when Mo Ziyuan and his party arrived, they were met with a scene of corpses strewn across the ground. Their hearts sank, and they quickly dismounted to examine the bodies.

Fortunately, neither Chu Yu nor Lin Xin were among them.

"They've finally been exposed," Fu Jing said with a heavy heart.

“We don’t need to pretend anymore. The guards and carriages can stay behind and move slowly. We’ll speed up and make sure we catch up with them before the next attack.” After Mo Ziyuan finished speaking, he turned around, leaped onto his horse, whipped it, and rode away. Gao Yong and the others followed behind him without saying a word.

"You stay here and protect them, we'll go first." Fu Jing hesitated for a moment but still chose to mount his horse and said to Meng Yixuan, who was about to ride off.

"No need, we have these guards protecting us, nothing will happen, you all go and help!" Cui Shi lifted the carriage curtain and said seriously to Fu Jing and Meng Yixuan, while Meng Yichen sat next to him and nodded to his elder brother.

"Alright! Be careful!" Meng Yixuan and Fu Jing exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their riding whips.

Unbeknownst to them, after their carriage had gone far away, a group of people appeared there.

“Boss, look at this!” one of them said, pointing to one of the corpses.

The leader looked over and saw that among the pile of corpses whose clothes were disheveled from the fight, there was one that was exceptionally "clean." Apart from bloodstains, there was no trace of the struggle on its body, and its clothes were still neat.

"Let's go take a look." The leader spoke, and the men went over and quickly discovered the writing on the lining of his coat.

"Quick, give me a pigeon!" The leader's expression changed drastically after he saw the writing on the piece of cloth that had already been cut off. He quickly folded the cloth into a small roll and shouted at the same time.

"Yes!" The man below quickly brought over a gray pigeon and stuffed the roll of cloth into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg.

"Get this to the Third Prince as soon as possible." He poured a few grains of grain into his palm and whispered his instructions after the pigeons had finished eating.

The pigeon seemed quite intelligent; it stared at him for a while with its tiny, beady eyes, tilted its head, made two "coo-coo" sounds, and then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

"Boss, what should we do if we leave first?" one of the men asked.

"Mo Ziyuan and the others have gone after Chu Yu's carriage, so now their carriage is just guarded by some good-for-nothings. Let's go and kidnap them! If we're lucky, the young prince is in the carriage, then we'll have done a great service. If he's not there, it doesn't matter, any of these people can be used as hostages!" the leader said after thinking for a moment.

"Boss, you really have a good idea!" someone flattered.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and chase after them!" The leader kicked the speaker in the butt and laughed as he cursed.
