Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 144 Striding Forward Back to Qingyun

Chu Chen returned to the jade mine without stopping.

While there was still some time, a brief meeting was convened with several people in charge.

They picked up Chen Qingxuan, Chu Yi, and Uncle Feng, and drove towards Qingyun City.

At the city gate, a beautiful figure watched the bomb disposal vehicle speed away.

It seemed like they had made a very big decision.

"Miss, go back now. Master will be coming to find you soon."

A maidservant beside her spoke anxiously to the woman in white.

"Xiaoxue, do you dare to come with me to Qingyun City?"

"Miss, you............."

A short while later, a carriage sped off, heading towards Qingyun City.

Si Wei listened to the report from his subordinates, sighed, and shook his head.

"A daughter is like a tree that grows up and leaves home; let her go. Just send someone to protect her."

Meanwhile, Chu Yi drove the armored vehicle at breakneck speed.

Chen Qingxuan slept soundly in the back row, while Chu Chen enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Who would care about that speeding carriage?

The next day, Chu Chen jumped off the armored vehicle and savored the lingering fragrance emanating from Xiao Fang.

"I'm finally back."

"Young Master, how was your trip to the Cloud Peak?" Xiao Fang hugged Chu Chen tightly and looked up to ask.

"Do I look like a bad person? Haha, let's go eat."

After saying that, he put his arm around Xiaofang and walked into the house.

"Where are Chunxiang and Qiuju? Why aren't they home?"

Looking at Xiao Lan and Xiao Tao busy inside the house, Chu Chen turned to Xiao Fang and asked.

“Young master, they are more capable than you think. Now, I only go to Wenxiang Pavilion once in a while.”

These two women seem pretty good; they got the hang of things so quickly?

Just then, Chu Yi stood respectfully outside the door.

"Young master, the truck that was hauling the goods is still in the clouds. I'll go and drive it back."

Chu Chen deliberately left the van there.

As for myself, I have as many of those things as I want.

So when I came back, I parked my car at the Cloud Peak Mine to avoid driving myself.

"It's alright, I'll give you one tomorrow. You've worked hard, go back and rest."

Chu Yi didn't say anything after hearing that.

He bowed to Chu Chen and Xiao Fang, then headed towards the suburban courtyard.

As soon as Chen Qingxuan returned to his residence in the west of the city, he disappeared without a trace.

People are already used to seeing such elusive masters.

He always showed up on time for meals.

If they don't show up, they've probably gone out to play.

As everyone guessed, Chen Qingxuan has now arrived at the entrance of Red Romance.

"Hey, Xiaolan, it's been so long! You've grown so much! What delicious food did you make today?"

Xiao Lan giggled, "Young master, what do you mean 'big'? Is there something good to eat today?"

Chu Chen shifted his gaze and looked at the table.

Holy crap, where did this seafood come from inland?

There were two lobsters on top.

"Where did this thing come from?"

Chu Chen asked Xiao Lan with a puzzled look.

I bought it at the West Market this morning. The one my son brought back last time looks very similar to this one.

The fishmonger said this stuff came from the sea and was very good for women.

Seeing how tired Sister Xiaofang, Sister Chunxiang, and Sister Qiuju were, I bought a few of them.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't wait to break one open, take a bite, and savor the taste—it had been so long since he'd tasted it.

This stuff is also available in the space, but it's all frozen.

Even in modern times, Chu Chen had only eaten it once when he went to the beach.

Instantly, an idea popped into my head.

Qingyun City isn't too far from the seaside; it's about a day's drive there.

How about we take a few women on a trip?

In ancient times, people went to the beach to explore the sea, which must have been a place with abundant resources.

I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen this thing for sale.

It's probably a transportation issue. In that case, we'll just have to do it ourselves.

Xiao Fang noticed that Chu Chen was so interested in this strange thing.

So he said to Xiaolan, "Go and buy some more for the young master."

After hearing this, Xiaolan turned around and walked towards the door.

At this moment, Chu Chen also put down the bowl in his hand: "Xiao Lan, wait a minute, I'll go with you."

Xiao Lan turned her head in confusion, wondering when her young master had developed a liking for grocery shopping.

However, she didn't say anything, and even seemed a little pleased.

This opportunity to spend time alone with Chu Chen on the street is quite rare.

Guided by Xiao Lan, Chu Chen soon met the fishmonger.

On his stall, there were several dead lobsters.

But that head was quite large.

So he quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother, I've never seen this strange fish in Qingyun City before."

“This young master is clearly a connoisseur. This stuff is hard to come by; I obtained it from the depths of the sea, eight hundred miles away.”

"Oh, if it came all this way, wouldn't the fish die?"

"Yeah, look, he just died."

This fishmonger is incredibly honest, but that makes sense; anyone with eyes can tell it's dead.

"Brother, how much for this?"

“Young master, it took a lot of effort to transport these things here. Since you look honest, I'll give you two taels of silver for each one.”

Fuck you, you think I'm stupid?

If each one weighs two ounces and is left out until evening, it will rot and stink.

Why don't you just rob it? But this also made Chu Chen realize that the chances of this thing getting into the inland are slim.

To guarantee freshness, you'd have to work yourself to death.

So he turned to Xiaolan and quietly asked, "How much are you buying? Are they alive?"

"No, young master, there are none alive, they're all dead, seven hundred coins each."

After speaking, she blinked her big eyes and looked at Chu Chen.

Chu Chen turned around and glared fiercely at the fishmonger.

They really think I'm stupid.

After glaring at her, he grabbed Xiaolan and left the market without looking back.

"Young master, aren't you going to buy it?" Xiao Lan asked quietly, looking at Chu Chen who had suddenly pulled her away.

"I'm not buying it. This stuff isn't fresh, I can't take it. I'll go get something better to eat."

Back home, Chu Chen pretended to get into the car and took out several ribbonfish and a few dark abalone.

Once inside the kitchen, it's time to start cooking.

"Young master, what kind of fish is this? Why does it look so fierce?" Xiao Fang asked, looking at the sharp teeth of the ribbonfish.

"Um, this is called ribbonfish, it only comes from the sea."

Ever since seeing that dead lobster, Chu Chen has felt a deep aversion to the others on the table.

But I can't just throw away Xiaolan's good intentions.

However, the idea of ​​going out to sea to fish is becoming stronger and stronger.

"Qinglian has been staying in Mashan Village for quite a while now, why don't we take her out for some fun?"

Chu Chen ate while thinking.

It seems I should go back to Mashan Village tomorrow and take her to the beach.

I wonder if the drunkard will go with us. If he does, then we'll have an extra layer of security.

What he didn't expect was that Mu Xueqin and Li Qinglian were now extremely close.

Having made this decision, it probably won't be so easy for him to get rid of Mu Xueqin.
