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

Chapter 371

When they were on the road, he looked around and didn't see anyone on the road, so the two of them walked on the road together.

He identified the direction and took Ye Xi along the official road. He estimated the distance that Yan Wu and his group had traveled.

If they had not been assassinated, they should have reached Fuzhou City.

After realizing that they are gone, he will definitely turn around to look for them. At this time, it is safer to take the official road than the small road, because it is very likely that his people are searching on the official road.

Wei Jue's guess was correct. When Yan Wu arrived at the designated location and found that the master was not there, he immediately realized something was wrong. Then he used the token to mobilize the officers and soldiers of Fuzhou City to search for the whereabouts of the master.

The assassins had ambushed people on both the official road and the side roads. However, when they discovered that there were soldiers searching, the people on the official road withdrew, leaving only those ambushing on the side roads.

When they found that the officers and soldiers' search area was gradually expanding to the trail, the people on the trail also began to retreat.

So Wei Jue and Ye Xi met the Fuzhou city officers and soldiers who came to search for them on the official road approaching Fuzhou city.

When the officers and soldiers first saw Wei Jue, they did not recognize him.

But when they saw that Wei Jue was covered in dust and dirt but his clothes were luxurious, they guessed his identity.

When I asked, I got a positive answer and was ecstatic.

Seeing that he was injured, they quickly sent someone to send a carriage over, and they gave Wei Jue water and other things.

Ye Xi drank water in big gulps. She hadn't had a drop of water all night and was indeed very thirsty.

I was being chased and the situation was so tense that my physical needs were suppressed by my tense mental state. Now that I have relaxed, I feel thirsty and hungry.

The carriage arrived quickly. After all, it was not far from Fuzhou City. Ye Xi helped Wei Jue get on the carriage.

Wei Jue sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, resting. Ye Xi looked at him and felt that a person's temperament would not change because of the environment.

For example, he is now covered in dust and dirt, but he still behaves like a noble man and does not feel inferior at all because of his attire.

I feel so arrogant when giving orders to others. It turns out that some things are engraved in my bones.

Seeing the other person's relaxed state, she suddenly remembered how ruthlessly he killed people yesterday. She thought that he must be even more brutal on the battlefield than he was last night.

But in front of her, he was nothing more than shameless, and it was hard to see any of that. How could a person be so divided?

She felt a little scared when she thought about the fact that she had actually had the thought of killing the other person.

She felt that Wei Jue was right, and that her small courage was only suitable for minor incidents.

She suddenly admired the female generals who went into battle to kill the enemies. She wondered what kind of mentality was needed to be able to handle such a life of killing.

Wei Jue suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her. His gaze seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

She felt a little guilty, worried that her intention to kill him would be discovered, and she was a little flustered.

After a while, he calmed down after thinking that he was not a god and how could he know what she was thinking.

The next moment, Wei Jue asked, "Are you disappointed that I didn't die?"

Ye Xi felt guilty and quickly shook his head to deny it.

Looking at Ye Xi who was shaking her head like a rattle, Wei Jue laughed, as if he saw through her thoughts:

"You are such a coward that you can only do business. For someone at the pinnacle of power, even sacrificing the lives of 200,000 soldiers is a matter of course."

Two...two hundred thousand? Then, is the other party still a human being?
