Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 308 Successfully Entering the City Lord's Mansion

"Oh, you are honest. But with your skills, it shouldn't be difficult for you to make a living in Wu Tuo. Why did you come to this Dragon City?"

The young man in white listened to Chu Chen's explanation and asked another question.

"Hehe, let's not even mention that barren land of Wu Tuo. A true man's ambition lies in all corners of the world. Why not use this body to travel the world!"

"What a great man, with ambitions reaching far and wide."

After speaking, the young man in white laughed and stood up.

"Alright, Manager Wang, let's call it a day. We'll meet again tomorrow at this time, brothers."

"So good!"

After finishing his sentence, the young man in white walked out of the shop and headed towards the main street, disappearing from sight in an instant.

A short while later, inside the city lord's mansion, through the large tent...

A man kneeling on the ground said to the person behind the tent, "I have investigated again, and this person did indeed come recently."

"After being dragged to the military camp, I ate a bowl of noodles with that masked soldier Zhu Daniu, and then came here to start a barbecue stall."

"Oh, how strong is this person?"

"I can't figure him out. He doesn't have any martial arts aura. He's probably just an ordinary person!"

After the white-robed young man left, Chu Chen stared intently at his disappearing figure for a long time.

Based on my experience, I can tell that this person is extremely strong in martial arts, probably no less than Zhu Liuxiang.

Because he exuded the same martial arts aura as Zhu Liuxiang and Jiu Mengzi.

It's not the kind of power that comes from within your own body.

If this person is the city lord's confidant or lover, then the city lord of Dragon City might have a way to convert the jade essence's energy into martial arts strength.

Because so far, Chu Chen has never seen such a young tenth-grade grandmaster, which means that this person's strength must have been artificially boosted.

If someone from the City Lord's Mansion possesses the strength of Zhu Liuxiang, then the City Lord's Mansion must truly be a den of dragons and tigers.

It seems that the city lord of Dragon City is becoming more and more interesting.

The next day, Chu Chen closed half of the shop at the agreed time.

On the table, there was a steaming hot pot.

Besides the hot pot, there was also a bottle of women's perfume placed next to it.

This perfume has never been put on the market; only a few women in the family have ever used it.

The purpose of this was to please this woman. It's not like the city lord's birthday is coming up anytime soon; if I, as a cook, were to do this...

"Manager Wang, you are indeed punctual!"

A moment later, that deliberately neutral voice came from outside!

"Haha, a businessman should always be honest! Come, please sit down!"

"Oh, what's this prepared today?" the young man in white asked, pointing to the hot pot.

"Hehe, this is called hot pot. You can try it in a bit."

"Oh, by the way, this is perfume I brought from the Great Xia Dynasty. How about I give it to you, young master?"

After saying that, Chu Chen handed over the bottle of perfume.

The young man in white took the perfume from Chu Chen's hand, and a fleeting expression of joy crossed his face.

Then he immediately resumed his aloof demeanor: "Haha, it's kind of you, Manager Wang, I'll gladly accept your kind offer."

After saying that, he hid the perfume in the front of his clothes, which were covering his somewhat exaggerated chest muscles, as if it were a treasure.

Then I picked up my chopsticks and, unsurprisingly, became addicted after just one bite.

After several rounds of drinks, the young man in white stood up and asked, "Manager Wang, what is your intention in preparing such varied and delicious food for me and sending me perfume?"

Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this; this person wasn't stupid.

So he stopped hiding it: "Haha, you have a discerning eye, young lady. I have suffered a lot on my way here. I originally wanted to join the army to make a good living, but that is not my ambition. I accidentally heard in a restaurant that the city lord's birthday is coming soon. I have a lot of cooking skills but I can't use them."

"I was just thinking of opening a barbecue restaurant to make a name for myself, but I never expected to meet you, girl."

"So, with this perfume as a gift, could I possibly get a job at the city lord's mansion?"

The young man in white kept staring intently into Chu Chen's eyes as Chu Chen spoke.

After a long while, he finally stepped in front of Chu Chen.

"I'm very curious, how did Manager Wang discover that I'm a woman?"

Chu Chen was completely dumbfounded after hearing this. Was this even important?

So, without thinking, I blurted out, "Um, young lady... this is a bit over the top!"

After saying that, he pointed awkwardly.

The young man in white blushed instantly upon hearing this: "You lecher, is this your way of judging people?"

Chu Chen thought to himself, "This is bad. This is ancient times. If we gossip about someone's place for no reason, this guy might suddenly attack and hurt us."

So he quickly said, "Miss, I didn't mean it, but your cover-up... is really bad!"

“Miss must be a noble lady from the city lord’s mansion. If you feel I have offended you, then you may do as you please.”

After saying that, he took a step back and stretched his neck: "Girl, the knife is over there, the meat is here, you can cut whichever piece you want."

However, Chu Chen put his hands behind his back and unlocked the safety of the Uzi behind him.

If this woman makes even the slightest movement to slash at him with a knife, he will not hesitate to pull the trigger.

The woman stared at Chu Chen for a while, then laughed.

"Interesting, interesting, you're not afraid of death!"

"Girl, you're joking. Who isn't afraid of death? But it's better to die gracefully than to live a cowardly life."

"Alright, we've eaten and drunk our fill. We'll come again tomorrow!"

After saying that, the girl turned and walked towards the door.

"Young lady, what about my job as a cook in the city lord's mansion? And what's your name?"

Seeing her leave, Chu Chen immediately asked urgently.

The girl didn't turn around, but waved to Chu Chen behind her, uttering two words: "Leng Shuang".

Cold frost? No wonder it's so indifferent!

Chu Chen muttered something to himself, then turned and walked into the shop.

A short while later, in a huge room inside the city lord's mansion.

A figure stood in front of a bronze mirror, untied his clothes, and then rubbed his face in front of the mirror.

He then picked up a bottle of perfume from the table, sprayed it on himself a few times, and said, "Interesting, very interesting!"

The next morning, as soon as Chu Chen opened the shop door, a squad of masked soldiers walked straight to the front of the shop.

Chu Chen was startled by the sight.

"Gentlemen, what's this?"

"Manager Wang, the City Lord's Mansion requests your presence!"

Chu Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this. Sure enough, being handsome has many advantages.

So he quickly said, "Then I'll trouble you gentlemen to wait a moment while I pack up!"

Without waiting for the soldier's reply, he turned and went into the house.

Put on a stab-proof vest, tactical belt, knee pads, shoulder pads, etc., don't carry weapons, and put on clothes over it.

He then stepped forward, casually slipping a silver ingot to the leading soldier, saying, "Sir, do you know where to go to the city lord's mansion..."

The leading soldier looked at the silver in his hand and said, "Haha, Manager Wang, no need to panic, this is a good thing!"

After saying that, he led Chu Chen through the gate of the city lord's mansion.
