Chapter 23 A sword seals the throat
At midnight, a strong wind blew violently, and the west gate of Ningyuan City was wide open with no one guarding it.
When the people sent by Boss Ke saw this, they smiled at each other. They all felt that the boss had given them a good job. This time no one was chosen to die. They just had to go into the city and find the Fulai Inn, kill everyone inside, take away all the property and leave quickly. They didn't care about anything else because someone would be the one to take the blame.
The group of people walked through the city gate in a swagger. No one would wander around the streets late at night. Even the night watchmen and beggars on the street of Fulai Inn were driven away.
A gust of wind blew, and the fallen leaves on the ground were blown up and then fell on the feet of the bandit leader who was leading the team. This time, there were more than 30 of them, and they wanted to end the battle quickly.
"You go in through the back door, follow me, the rest of you keep watch and be ready to receive the property at any time." The leading bandit arranged everything one by one, waved his hand, and said, "Charge!"
The Fulai Inn was immediately surrounded, and all the roads in front and behind were blocked. They killed anyone they saw and then began to search for money.
A few people with better skills sneaked up to the second floor. The people living here are richer than those living downstairs. They are here for the biggest share, and whoever takes back more will get more.
Shen Jiayu was suddenly awakened from her sleep. She heard some noise outside the door and immediately became alert. Someone was approaching. The footsteps were disorganized and did not seem like those of Song Qinghong's guards.
Song Qinghong was going to leave Ningyuan City the next day. She was reluctant to leave Shen Jiayu and wanted to stay with her longer, so she begged Shen Jiayu to stay overnight at the Fulai Inn.
"Luqi, wake up, wake up your young lady, hide in the room and don't go out. It's dangerous." Shen Jiayu gently woke up Luqi, who was sleeping in the same bed with her, and warned her.
Luqi was sleeping in a daze, but when she heard the word "danger", she woke up immediately. She stood up and walked towards Song Qinghong, following Shen Jiayu's advice to stay together.
Song Qinghong looked at Shen Jiayu with concern, but she couldn't see the other person's expression in the dark. They were far apart, and there were some things she wanted to say but couldn't say them at this moment. She could only sigh and pray in her heart that Shen Jiayu was safe.
"Miss, don't worry, there are guards outside. Miss Shen also knows martial arts, so everything will be fine. It might just be a few petty thieves." Luqi's voice trembled as she spoke. She couldn't believe it herself but still comforted Song Qinghong.
"Yes, I believe her." Song Qinghong held Luqi's hand tightly, and the two snuggled together.
Shen Jiayu stood sideways by the door, listening to the noise outside. Their room was a little further inside, and the group had not yet arrived here.
"Hehe, the goods on the second floor are still the best. They were all gone with one blow, and there is still a lot of valuables. When we return to the village and give these banknotes to the boss, we can get a lot!"
"Don't be so happy. There are two more rooms over there. I see that one is bigger than the other. If people move in, we brothers will be able to get a lot of good things this time. It will be enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a while."
"Yes, yes, let's go over there quickly. I've searched everywhere here, and there's nothing else. Oh, this fat pig has a jade ring on his hand. I'll take it too. It looks good."
"go!"
The voices outside were getting closer and closer. Shen Jiayu could hear them clearly and she felt a little confused.
This sounds like a conversation between bandits, which shouldn't be the case.
Bandits usually appear on the way into the city. The walls of Ningyuan City are high, and the officers and soldiers take turns on duty. Logically speaking, these bandits cannot get in no matter what.
Could it be that the city gates were wide open today and they forged their identities to enter the city? Did they kill people and rob them tonight?
After thinking about it, Shen Jiayu could only think of this method to get in. She couldn't save the lives of others, so she could only protect herself and the two people in the house.
With a click, the bandit stretched out a big knife from outside the door. With the blade facing upwards, he easily broke the bolt, pushed the door open quietly, and the leader sneaked in.
The room was dark. He raised a big knife and chopped at the bedside in the moonlight, hoping to kill the person in the room with one blow so that he couldn't make any sound to cry for help.
"Uh..." He didn't expect that he was the one who didn't have time to call for help.
Shen Jiayu was hiding by the door. When he saw someone, he immediately stabbed out with the sword hanging on his waist, piercing the opponent's throat and taking his life in an instant.
The bandit fell to the ground with a thud.
Several bandits outside the house were still grinning as they looked at the valuables in their hands. The next second, they heard a noise from inside the house. They looked up and saw that the bandit who had entered first was already dead. The cold moonlight shone on his face, making it look extremely pale, with blood oozing from his throat.
Oh no, there’s an expert!
They all thought so and started to run. However, as soon as they turned around, a pair of shiny knives were placed on their necks, emitting a cold light. They did not dare to move and were captured obediently.
Just when they were delighted to find the valuables, the guards who were awakened downstairs began to fight back. The bandits had never thought that there would be people from the underworld in the inn. They only received the mission to kill the people in the inn and take the valuables back to the village.
The new bandits didn't know the ins and outs of this, and after being caught, they took the opportunity to resist and were killed. The bandits who had been in the village for some time didn't dare to act rashly, hoping that someone from the government could rescue them and they still had a chance to survive.
Those who survived were also unwilling to accept the outcome, as they didn’t know why the news they received was different.
"Thank you Miss Shen for rescuing us." After Song Qinghong's guards took the person away, they thanked Shen Jiayu.
As the guards had not come up for a long time, Shen Jiayu thought that these people could not defeat the bandits and were killed downstairs. It would save a lot of trouble if they came up now.
She really doesn't want to kill anyone, and she is afraid of killing people. It will take her some time to adapt to this identity.
"It's okay. Please drag him out and deal with him. I'm here, don't worry." Shen Jiayu pointed at the dead bandit on the ground.
Someone came in immediately and dragged the man away. Another person came in with a basin of water, squatted on the ground and started to clean up the blood. They were familiar with this kind of work.
It took them a cup of tea to pack up and leave, closing the door before leaving.
Shen Jiayu then walked to the candlestick and lit the candle. There was a little light in the room. He walked to them quietly and comforted them, "It's okay. They are just some petty thieves. Your guards have subdued them and will send them to the government at dawn. You can sleep for a while and leave here early tomorrow morning."
For fear of scaring Song Qinghong, Shen Jiayu did not say that they looked like bandits.
Although Song Qinghong couldn't see clearly in the dark, she could see the general appearance of those people. They didn't look like ordinary petty thieves.
She could also sense Shen Jiayu's concern and kindness towards her, so she didn't ask any more questions, but she couldn't sleep tonight.
