After Xie Jingzhi teased his friend, he immediately pulled Lin Ye in to prevent the thieves from escaping.
He closed the stone door, his eyes gloomy, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.
"You're all good."
Xie Jingzhi grinned, stretched out his fingers and bent them a few times, the sound of "crackling" echoing in the cave.
Several of the men in black were from the mountain bandits. They knew the boss’s skills and ruthlessness best, so they were too scared to say a word and hid behind the helpers they called.
Lin Ye straightened the hem of his clothes that had been wrinkled by Xie Jingzhi and cursed inwardly, "Why am I so unlucky?"
"Should I go burn some incense?" He tapped his fingers on the handle of the fan a few times, and with a 'scratch' sound, a sharp cold blade appeared at the fan bone.
Xie Jingzhi sneered sarcastically, "It's hopeless, bury it."
"Hey, why do you say that? We are good brothers after all." Lin Ye waved his fan, moved closer and put his hand on his shoulder, "We are good brothers. Just pretend you didn't hear the oath I made just now."
The two of them chatted with each other in a relaxed tone, and the dozen or so thieves who were originally extremely nervous and tense relaxed a lot.
The thieves looked at each other, nodded slightly, and asked a few of them to take the things and retreat, while the others drew their weapons and approached Xie Jingzhi and the other man step by step.
"How can a man take back his oath so easily?" Xie Jingzhi took out a handkerchief from his arms and wrapped his fingers.
Lin Ye asked in a puzzled tone, "Your handkerchief...?"
There was a small spot of white liquid on the red silk handkerchief, which looked very strange.
"Yeah, it's just some of my wife's snot." Xie Jingzhi replied indifferently, "I was thinking of collecting it."
Lin Ye: "...Brother, are you sick?"
The thieves no longer wanted to listen to them talking about such boring and meaningless topics, so they all rushed forward with a loud shout, speaking in a domineering and powerful tone.
Xie Jingzhi quickly bent down to avoid the blade and punched the man in front of him away. The man's jaw bone cracked and made a grinding sound due to the heavy blow.
A thief was knocked down with one punch. The thief lay on the ground, spitting out blood, and then lay motionless, dying.
Lin Ye also quickly killed one person and returned to Xie Jingzhi. The two of them stood back to back, and both of them left the most dangerous place to their friend for protection.
"Wow." Lin Ye whistled, "What do you call this? My wife's snot blessing?"
"...That's enough." Xie Jingzhi didn't expect that his casually swung fist would hit the opponent's chin.
He recalled the feeling of his hand and suspected that the other person vomited blood because he bit his own tongue.
While they were thinking, the enemy pounced on them again. Xie Jingzhi and Lin Ye easily subdued everyone in the cave and tied them together with the hemp rope in the corner.
Lin Ye used the blade of his fan to lift the cloth covering their faces and saw several familiar faces. Their expressions and smiles had not changed at all.
Instead, he ignored the pleas and curses of those strangers and swung his fan, sending several heads rolling on the ground.
“………”
The remaining people, with blood all over their heads and bodies, stared blankly with their eyes wide open, unable to say a word, just looking up at the smiling Lin Ye.
"Oh, this is the fourth fan this month." Lin Ye sighed and took out a white handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the blood that had flowed onto his fingers.
The people in front of him were so frightened by his words that they trembled all over and dared not speak a word for fear of becoming the next unlucky person to have his head chopped off.
Xie Jingzhi stood aside, taking out all the things they had put into the bags and counting them one by one. He was busy and had no time to care whether Lin Ye was scaring people or not.
The remaining poor thief was scared by Lin Ye and told everything.
This time, they learned that there was treasure here from a traitor in the stronghold.
The traitor who had been killed wanted to leave the stronghold, but he had not saved much money over the years. Yesterday, he heard from his roommate that there was a cave here, and he became malicious and came here to scout the place in the middle of the night.
During the scouting, we accidentally touched the mechanism of the stone door and were blinded by the gold, silver and treasures inside. Today, more than a dozen people gathered here together.
He originally planned to take advantage of the fact that he had just finished stockpiling things yesterday and that the boss and second in command would not come over so soon, so as to avoid any complications later and come over to move things directly.
Unfortunately, he was discovered by Xie Jingzhi before he could finish moving and leave.

It was already past one in the middle of the night when Xie Jingzhi finished his work. He pushed open the door and saw a dim candlelight in the outer room. When he walked in, he saw a spring roll lying on the bed.
His cold face softened, his eyes lowered slightly, and a hint of warmth flashed across them.
"You fell asleep without even waiting for me...you little heartless thing." Xie Jingzhi stretched out his fingers to pinch the tip of her nose and gently bit her cheek.
"But my dear, are you really going to give me your good fortune?" He touched her cheek with his fingertips. "Fool, give me your good fortune, what will you do with yourself?"
Seeing her wrinkling her nose in grievance, and looking like she was about to wake up, I quickly let go of her hand and comforted her softly, "Okay, okay, I won't bother you anymore."
-
Wen Liyu hadn't rested for a few days when she suddenly woke up one night and found herself in Xie Jingzhi's arms.
The ground kept shaking and trembling, and Xie Jingzhi's arms were like a seat belt, holding her firmly in his arms.
From outside came the sounds of horse hooves and people shouting at their horses, as well as the chirping of insects and frogs in the forest. The chaotic sounds intertwined together to form a frightening ballad.
"Wife, are you awake?" Xie Jingzhi lowered his head and put his forehead against hers. "We haven't reached the destination yet, can you sleep a little longer?"
Wen Liyu looked up in confusion, "Where are you taking me?"
"Go do great things." Xie Jingzhi lowered his head and kissed her eyes.
He didn't explain too much. In fact, he couldn't bring her with him this time, but when he was about to leave, he picked her up from the bed for some reason and asked someone to find a carriage.
Lin Ye didn't say anything when he saw him doing this, but his eyes were full of the word "henpecked".
Xie Jingzhi didn't have time to refute his friend's words. He hugged his Jiaojiao and got on the carriage.
After arriving at the place, Wen Liyu discovered that she had been brought to the town where the heroine was by Xie Jingzhi.
"What are you doing here?" Wen Liyu frowned slightly.
In the plot, Xie Jingzhi came here to store food, but now there is food in the mountain village, so why did he come here again?
Xie Jingzhi pinched her cheek and felt around to make sure his wife's temperature and everything was normal before explaining, "It's said that there's an epidemic in a city. Let's go find a new mountain and move to a place farther away from the city."
"Epidemic?" Wen Liyu opened her eyes wide in surprise, "This..." How could it break out now? It's much earlier than the description in the plot given by the system!
