With the Ji family's family background, Ji Yunxi can learn if she wants to.
But Ji Yunxi doesn't know martial arts.
Ji Yunxi glanced at him sideways: "Then why don't you make money?"
Wu Wei'an's heart sank to the bottom, and his sense of superiority disappeared: "..."
He opened his mouth and said seriously: "Actually, I also made some money."
He simply didn't earn as much as he spent, often borrowing from Peter to pay Paul. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now.
"Oh." Ji Yunxi withdrew her gaze, raised her eyebrows, but smiled without saying anything.
Just him? Making money?
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from far away, and dust flew up on the official road.
Ji Yunxi no longer paid attention to Wu Weian and looked down intently.
The people from the Daqing Escort Agency were very proud and drove their horses very fast.
It is less than eight kilometers away from Shangjing City, and they can safely send the escort back to the escort agency today.
The Daqing Escort Agency is backed by the Feng family. The head of the Feng family is the Imperial Censor, and their fourth daughter recently entered the palace and became a noble lady.
So when they arrived in the territory of Shangjing City, could it be that someone was tired of living and dared to rob the escorts of their Daqing Escort Agency?
The dart team was careless and even a little dazed when they saw the men in black pouring out from all directions.
But the men in black didn't give them any chance and went straight towards the cargo boxes they were transporting.
The members of the dart team were all quite skilled, so they were not panicked and immediately engaged in combat with the men in black.
As a result, as soon as they started fighting, they found that these men in black had very poor skills and almost no kung fu. They just relied on their strong body and fierce force to fight hard.
Before the members of the escort team could feel proud, a man in black with his head covered appeared, carrying a heavy black sword.
Moreover, the way that man held the sword was very strange, like he was a young boy holding a sword for the first time.
Then, the man in black swung his sword and swept it directly towards the man's head. However, before sweeping, he paused, moved the sword down, and swept towards the man's face instead.
He controlled the strength very well. With one sweep of his sword, the men from the escort team spat out blood along with their teeth, and were knocked unconscious to the ground.
Xuezhu was extremely fast. With just one move, he swept away all the members of the escort team.
And one on the left and one on the right, alternating.
However, the number of people in the dart team was odd. After sweeping the last one, there was one more person on the left than on the right.
Xuezhu squatted in front of the last person and thought carefully, then placed that person in the middle.
Xuezhu was satisfied, clapped her hands and left.
As for the men in black he brought with him, they were moving things happily.
Yes, these men in black are not here to fight the escort team. They don’t know martial arts and they are here just to move things.
The reason why he is strong and healthy is that he has tendon muscles from moving so much stuff.

These days, the Feng family father and son are in a good mood.
They haven't been this happy in a long time.
Whenever they thought about their wedding night, when Wu Weian and Ji Yunxi would be busy at Dechang Casino in the middle of the night, they wanted to laugh.
Do the Ji and Wu family members really think that it is so easy to take over the Feng family's gambling house?
They know exactly where the money in the gambling house is kept and what is arranged inside.
Therefore, finding someone to rob the gambling house is the easiest thing to do.
And Ji Yunxi could only swallow her anger and bear it.
After all, they didn't leave any evidence and no one was killed, so this matter can be resolved from a big matter to a small matter.
Feng Qishi took a sip of tea and asked his son, "How much money did you steal from the gambling house?"
Feng Wu said, "Not much, not much. The eight gambling houses together have about five thousand taels of gold. They've only been open for a short time, so they don't have a lot of money in their shops."
Feng Qishi nodded: "It's okay, it's not about money anyway. Seeing the Ji family unhappy makes me feel better."
The father and son smiled at each other and chatted for a few more words, then Feng's eldest uncle hurried over.
Feng Wu stood up and greeted: "Uncle."
The eldest uncle of the Feng family was fat and had big ears. He said with a sullen face, "The dart was robbed!"
Feng Qishi: "What?"
Although the escort agency was my uncle's business, most of the money earned went into his pocket.
After the gambling house was gone, the Feng family relied on this escort agency to survive.
After all, the salary of the Censor is not enough to provide a luxurious life for his family.
"The dart was robbed!" My eldest uncle's fat face trembled with anger. "It was robbed not far from the city! The dart belonged to the owner of the rice warehouse. He bought eighteen boxes of high-quality rice from the south of the Yangtze River, and they were all stolen! Now he wants compensation from us!"
Feng Qishi quickly made arrangements and even contacted people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.
The thugs who were knocked unconscious also woke up, but the incident happened so suddenly that they had no time to observe anything before they were knocked unconscious by a sword.
People from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple asked everyone, but they couldn't get anything useful out of them.
Feng Wu's face turned pale: "It must be Ji Yunxi who hired someone to do it!"
But there is no evidence pointing out that it was the Ji family who did it. Even if they knew that it was the Ji family who did it, they had no way to do anything.
The Feng family could only console themselves by saying that the Ji family had only robbed one dart, while they had robbed eight of the Ji family's gambling houses. So, they still made a profit.
As it turned out, this was just the beginning. In the following months, the escorts of the Daqing Escort Agency were robbed one after another and were unable to enter the capital.
Even though they repeatedly warned the escort agency to be on high alert, it was of no avail.
The escorts were still robbed one by one, and the money was lost to one family after another.
There are various types of escorts in the escort agency. The Daqing Escort Agency only transports the most reliable type of escorts, namely grain escorts.
They basically escorted goods between Jiangnan and Shangjing City, transporting the best rice, flour, soybeans, tea, etc. from the Jiangnan water towns to the shop owners in Shangjing City.
The boss who can expand his business in Shangjing City must have powerful forces behind him.
The Daqing Escort Agency simply didn't dare to refuse compensation.
The Feng family's warehouse was almost bankrupt, while the Wu family's granary, which was originally empty, was full in just a few days.
