Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 318 - 317: Bronze City
The runaway beauty lay comfortably inside the carriage, with a blanket and a soft pillow underneath her and a thin quilt covering her~
"Achoo, achoo."
After sneezing twice, Ye Zhi guessed and said, "I wonder if my mother is thinking about me?"
Little did she know, it was Huanhuan worrying she might lose a fight outside...
Lu He had long since hung the azure muslin curtains and was watching the trees outside retreat from inside the carriage: "Perhaps, but I wonder if Aunt Ye will blame me for coming out with you instead of stopping you."
Her voice carried a tinge of worry~
Her eyes were filled with melancholy, and she couldn’t fully enjoy the scenery outside.
Ye Zhi pondered for a moment, then sat up to comfort her: "My mother won’t blame you. She knows my character, you couldn’t stop me. If you tried to stop me, I’d knock you out."
She even demonstrated a gesture at the end, proving she really would knock someone out...
Both of them were dressed as men at the time, unafraid of revealing their gentle female voices in front of the coachman.
The coachman, paid to handle business, didn’t think too much about it. He didn’t mind if the two men seemed a bit effeminate, as long as he could safely deliver them to Dragon Tiger Mountain, collect the silver, and return to the Capital City.
The more you know, the faster you die. This was a truth he had realized after many years of driving.
The carriage was swiftly making its way~
Zhao Jun was galloping on horseback to chase them, inquiring about the route to Dragon Tiger Mountain and seeking information about a duo, one large, one small. He thought their outstanding beauty would make them easy to find, but found nothing.
He never dreamed that the two would disguise themselves as somewhat disreputable men.
Indeed, it was the way Lu He had looked back at the Zhao Mansion.
Thick eyebrows, a little mustache, and a face painted a bit dark; back at the Zhao Mansion, no one saw through the fact that she was a woman.
...
Ye Zhi and Lu He never thought anyone would come searching for them, presuming the Ye Mansion had accepted the fact of their departure, happily living their days.
They traveled by day and stayed at inns by night. When they couldn’t reach a town while on the road, they would spend the night in the carriage.
At those times, they reluctantly made the coachman sleep on the ground.
Ye Zhi, being generous, promised an extra hundred taels upon arrival at Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The coachman beamed with smiles, repeatedly saying: "Alright, thank you, young master, thank you, young master~"
He accepted sleeping on the ground willingly.
The days on the road passed swiftly; the more distance they traveled, the closer they got to their destination.
Through wind and rain, twenty-six days later.
Bronze City, the three large words in gilt paint were written on a black plaque, hung high on the red city gates.
Next to them stood armored soldiers holding long spears, guarding the place.
In the middle bustled the townspeople coming and going.
The travel-worn coachman looked at the grand city gate with a weary face, muttering to himself in a low voice, "It’s Bronze City, finally, not easy at all."
His three hundred taels were within reach.
Two hundred taels for the fare and the hundred taels promised along the way, these three hundred taels could support his entire family for a long time.
He respectfully turned to consult his gold patron: "Young master, we’ve arrived at Bronze City. This city is the closest place to Dragon Tiger Mountain. However, I’ve heard there’s a formation at the foot of the mountain, and without a guide, it might be difficult to ascend. What do you think we should do?"
He had passed through this road a few times before, so he had some knowledge.
What is Dragon Tiger Mountain?
It is a renowned martial arts school, filled with experts, and ascending the mountain is no easy task.
Ye Zhi, still groggy from sleep and not fully awake, took a moment before her mind cleared. She quickly pulled aside the curtain and stuck her little head out.
