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

Chapter 369

At this time, Wei Jue attacked the opponent from behind, first covering the opponent's mouth, and then stabbing the opponent with a dagger from behind. Soon, the opponent fell down.

The moment the other person fell, Ye Xi saw that there was another corpse on the ground. When she saw the twisted head of the corpse, she understood what the clicking sound just now meant.

It should be Wei Jue who broke the man's neck.

Ye Xi's inference was correct. When the first person came in, Wei Jue approached the other person silently from behind and broke his neck.

The man was holding a fire starter in his hand at the time, but unfortunately the light was not enough to illuminate the cave entrance. At least the man did not see Wei Jue hiding behind the stone wall.

After Wei Jue dealt with the first person, he saw another person walking towards Ye Xi in the moonlight.

Then he pulled out a dagger, first moved close to cover the man's mouth and nose, then stabbed him, knocking him down in a few strokes.

The first time Ye Xi saw him kill someone, she was so scared that she unconsciously pointed the sword in her hand at him. It was an instinctive self-protection.

Wei Jue turned around and saw her like this, but he didn't mind it. Instead, he comforted her: "It's okay, they are all dead."

Wei Jue slowly moved to her side, and Ye Xi nervously took two steps back.

Wei Jue still approached her and coaxed her, "It's okay, Xi Niang, give me the sword."

Ye Xi slowly relaxed. She knew that he would not hurt her, so she put down the sword in her hand.

Wei Jue took the sword, picked it up and stabbed the corpse several times at vital parts, then dragged the corpse into the cave.

After he threw all the bodies in there, he told Ye Xi not to stay at the entrance of the cave but to return to where they were originally.

Ye Xi sat down near Wei Jue and finally came back to her senses after a while. The moonlight could only shine into a certain distance of the cave entrance and could not even reach where they were.

Although she couldn't see the bodies inside, she was still scared. She thought they were going to leave immediately.

"Sir, aren't we leaving?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Wei Jue knew that she was afraid of the two dead people inside, but he still patiently explained:

"Don't leave. Stay here tonight. People outside won't find this place for a while. It's safe here."

He was thinking according to the logic of what he told his subordinates to do.

Normally, if the target is to be searched, two or more people will work in a group to search in different directions.

The search usually takes a long time, because communications are not well developed and it is impossible to run back and forth to report in a short time.

Once they spot the target, the most common thing they do is to fire a flare to alert people nearby to come over.

Now that these two people are dead, no flares have been sent out, and there is no sign of the third person, it is most likely that these two people are carrying out the mission in this direction.

The possibility of it being safe here is very high, so he doesn't plan to leave. He has to continue resting here.

To comfort her, he also told her a piece of news: "If you continue walking east from here, you can reach Fuzhou City in less than an hour. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

Ye Xi calmed down after hearing the news, but she was still a little scared: "Sir, aren't we going to light the fire?"

"Don't light the fire. It's safer this way."

After Wei Jue killed the assassin, she looked out of the cave at the sky. It was already past the time when she should have woken him up, but she didn't. Instead, she waited for the assassin to arrive before waking him up.
