CH 39.4

By the time Wu Wei’an yawned and got up, Ji Yunxi had already finished tidying up and was dressed in gorgeous clothes, sitting on the beauty couch leisurely and flipping through the account book while waiting for him.

Today, she wore a crescent-white immortal dress with a red ribbon tied around her waist. The collar was also embroidered with delicate and complicated patterns with red silk thread, which just matched the red ribbon around her waist.

It’s very inconvenient to walk in the steep mountains with skirts dragging on the ground.

However, Ji Yunxi was neither anxious nor annoyed. Her face was calm and gentle as she lifted her skirt slightly with one hand and climbed up at her own pace.

It’s just that climbing a mountain is really tiring and Ji Yunxi is not a person who likes to move. So after only a few steps, she is already panting a little bit.

Aware of the gaze of the person beside her, Ji Yunxi looked back and raised her eyebrows, “Is something wrong?”

Wu Wei’an could not hold back anymore and said: “Why are you dressed so grandly?”

Ji Yunxi asked back, with a bit of arrogance: “Can’t I?”

“Yes, you can.” Wu Wei’an was defeated.

He sighed lightly, looked at the long road above him and thought that if they kept climbing according to his wife’s pace like this, when they arrived, the carts could be robbed back and forth dozens of times already.

He asked: “Shall I take you up?”

Hearing this, Ji Yunxi immediately stopped her footsteps: “Alright.”

Wu Wei’an stretched out his hand, gently embraced Ji Yunxi’s waist, and with a little force, he took the person up into the air. After a short while, the two were already standing on the top of the mountain.

Their field of vision is wide now, and they can basically see everything that happens in the official road below.

And because they were covered by bushes and branches, they could not be seen from below.

A group of men in black had already ambushed around, waiting for the escort team to pass by.

Bored, Wu Wei’an chatted with his wife: “Why don’t you learn the light footsteps skills?”

Wu Wei’an relies on his excellent light footsteps skills to wander the Jianghu world. Basically, no one can leave him behind, and there was no danger that could trap him.

Therefore, he has extremely high requirements for his subordinates’ light footsteps skills. After all, light footsteps skills are good and can make one run fast. This is very important.

Based on the family background of the Ji family, Ji Yunxi can learn it if she wants to.

But Ji Yunxi doesn’t practice martial arts.

Ji Yunxi glanced sideways at him: “Then why don’t you earn money?”

Wu Wei’an’s heart sank to the bottom at once, and his sense of superiority disappeared: “……”

He opened his mouth again and again, and then said seriously: “Actually, I also earn money.”

It’s just that the earnings are less than the spendings, and he often has to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall. Otherwise, he will never be able to hold on until now.

“Oh.” Ji Yunxi retracted her gaze and raised her eyebrows, but did not smile.

Just him? Earning money?

Suddenly, the sound of horses’ hooves came from far to near, and the dust on the official road was flying.

Ji Yunxi ignored Wu Wei’an and looked down intently.

The people from the Daqing Escort Bureau are full of joy and pride, and drive the horse very fast.

This place is less than eight kilometers away from the capital and today, they can safely return the carts to the Escort Bureau.

The Daqing Escort Bureau is backed by the Feng family. And the head of the Feng family is the Imperial Censor. The fourth young lady of the Feng family even entered the palace not long ago and became a Noble Imperial Concubine.

Therefore, at the boundary of the Capital City, is it possible that there is anyone who is already tired of living and dares to snatch their Daqing Escort Bureau’s carts?

The escort team took it lightly and when they saw the men in black pouring out from all sides, they were even a little dazed.

But the men in black didn’t give them a chance at all, and went straight to the carts they were transporting.

Each of the escorts in the team has good skills, so they are not panicking too. They immediately dealt with the men in black.

As a result, when they exchanged blows with these men in black, they found that the other party were very bad at martial arts and can even be said to have no martial arts at all, only relying on their strength and sturdy build to fight hard.

Before the members of the escort team had time to be complacent, a man in black with his head covered went forward while holding a heavy black sword.
