Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 370

He thought that this was Ye Xi's concern for him and that she wanted him to rest more, but in fact it was because Ye Xi could not judge the time based on the weather.

"I have to thank you. You did a great job. I shouldn't have let you keep watch first." Wei Jue said.

"This arrangement is good. After all, the adult is injured."

Then there was silence.

Ye Xi's sleepiness had long gone away. There were still two corpses at the entrance of the cave. He could no longer feel sleepy and all kinds of random thoughts started to run through his mind.

First, he was glad that he didn't fall asleep, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Then he remembered the scene of Wei Jue killing people easily under the moonlight just now.

At that time, Wei Jue standing behind the assassin looked more like an assassin.

Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, his movements and figure gave her the feeling of a vicious evil spirit from hell, who could take someone's life silently with a wave of his hand.

There was also the assassin lying on the ground. Although she didn't see him, the crisp snapping sound kept echoing in her ears.

She knew how quick and efficient Wei Jue was when he acted just by listening to the sound.

Breaking the opponent's neck easily, is this something a wounded person can do? Did Wei Jue really pass the imperial examination? Those hands were actually the hands holding a pen?

Only at this moment did she understand what the cocoons in Wei Jue's hands represented.

At this time, Ye Xi still didn't understand how thoroughly the battlefield could temper a person. Physical performance was too superficial, while the change in state of mind was more profound.

Thinking about how she had actually wanted to "sneak attack" the other party before, she was simply courting death. The other party could have broken her neck the moment she made a move.

Thinking of this, she felt a chill on her neck, goose bumps all over her body, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

She was trembling, and she thought she would be too scared to fall asleep, but as time passed, her body was overtired, and finally she fell asleep.

There were some rustling sounds around her, and Ye Xi was awakened again. She thought the assassin had come again, but it turned out to be Wei Jue turning over the bodies of the two dead assassins.

After she confirmed that she was safe, she found that it was already daybreak and the sunlight was shining through. No wonder she could see the situation inside clearly.

Wei Jue was searching the two men, trying to see who they were.

Ye Xi saw that he seemed to have taken something, and after looking at it for a few seconds, he put it in his arms.

She wasn't interested in what he got, she just wanted to get out of here quickly.

The body had been there for a night. If it was any longer, it would probably be... She didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to stay here any longer.

After searching the body, Wei Jue turned around and saw Ye Xi staring at him with round eyes. He couldn't help laughing. Turning over a corpse was indeed not something he would do.

"Let's go, let's hurry up. Here, take this, you must learn to protect yourself at the critical moment."

Wei Jue handed her the dagger while he continued to hold the sword.

Ye Xi remembered that he had stabbed the second assassin to death with a dagger last night. He felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to take it.

Wei Jue seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "I have already wiped the blood off. Don't be afraid. This dagger has killed countless people. You also used it to warm yourself by the fire before. Don't despise it now."

“…”Brother, if you can’t speak, you don’t have to say anything. It will only scare her more.

Seeing that she didn't move, Wei Jue ignored her and stuffed the dagger into her hand, then pulled her away.

They walked eastward along the slope for about half an hour. Wei Jue estimated that they were very close to Fuzhou City, so he found a place that was easy to climb and asked Ye Xi to help him climb up.

When approaching the top, Wei Jue first lay on the ground and listened for the sound of horse hooves nearby.

After a while, he felt it should be safe, and then he took Ye Xi upstairs.
