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

Chapter 403

"Yang Hou, what's wrong?"

Yan Wu put one arm around the adult, and with the other hand, he thrust the sword into the ground on one side of the slide to slow down, and asked the guard.

The guard stopped the man with his hand before he could even open his mouth, and whispered:

"Something seemed wrong at the foot of the mountain. I heard the sound of sword fighting, so I stopped here to wait for my lord."

Yang Hou and Yan Wu worked together to carry Wei Jue out of the slide. Not long after they stood up, more than a dozen people came down the slide. They were all Wei Jue's guards.

Following the master's orders, the guards who were still on horseback rode to the foot of the mountain, and those without horses all got off the slide. These dozen or so guards were those who had lost their horses in the fight.

"Send two people to the foot of the mountain to find out what's going on, and we'll walk down the mountain." Yan Wu heard the adults say this.

After a dozen people in their group walked to the foot of the mountain, they took turns carrying the poisoned adult on their backs. The adult was not suitable for exercise at this time, as they were worried that the poison would take effect faster.

The scouts came back and said there was an ambush at the foot of the mountain.

The box they had prepared earlier was still lying at the end of the slide, and next to the box there were some people who looked like kidnappers lying on the ground motionless.

After hearing this, Yan Wu realized that either the kidnappers were just a cover and they never wanted a ransom; or the kidnappers were also silenced.

"Sir, what should we do next?"

"Wait."

Yan Wu didn't know what the adults were waiting for, but he knew that their current situation was very dangerous.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Wu saw some sparks, they were torches!

Someone was searching for them. Logically, they should have waited for them to come down the slide.

After waiting for a long time without seeing anything, they must have become anxious and started searching the mountain.

Now that night has fallen, many things are hidden in the darkness.

Watching the sparks getting closer and closer to them, Yan Wu held his sword and prepared for another round of fighting when he heard the sound of fighting coming from a distance. Yan Wu didn't know what was going on.

"Yang Hou, go see what happened."

Yan Wu heard the adults' order, and then Yang Hou quietly set off... After returning, he said that many officers and soldiers came to help, and they were fighting with those suspicious people who showed up later.

Yang Hou also said that he saw Guard Xue.

Yan Wu finally felt relieved, because it turned out that Guard Xue had gone to get reinforcements!

"Tell Xue Jiu to capture all these people in one fell swoop and make sure to capture the leader alive."

After hearing this, Yan Wu asked Yang Hou to pass on the message while he stayed with the adults.

After the fighting stopped, Guard Xue, covered in blood, finally came over. Yan Wu heard the master ask Guard Xue, "Did you catch the person?"

Guard Xue nodded, and then heard the master say, "Keep a close watch on him, don't let him die, interrogate him thoroughly, and then go and bring the lady back after you're done."

Guard Xue took the order and left. Yan Wu was worried about the master's injury and said, "Master, let's find a doctor to treat your injury first."

The adults agreed.

When Yan Wu helped the adult leave, he saw those officers and soldiers. He secretly observed those people and found that their every move seemed different from that of ordinary officers and soldiers.

The overall quality of officers and soldiers is not as good as that of military soldiers, but the actions of these people reveal the style of military soldiers.

Yan Wu always felt that these officers and soldiers were hiding secrets, which might be related to what Guard Xue was going to do.

He knew that this must be the instruction of the adults, so he pretended not to know the tricks of these officers and soldiers.

They returned to Shiguan City and found a doctor to treat Wei Jue's injuries.
