Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1475: Borrowing Clothes to Go to the City and Visit the Market

After Chu Chen returned to the mountains, he saw Zhu Wenle's convoy enter the city before he led Pang Hu and Niu Zi out of the mountains.

However, when Chu Chen saw that the ragged people were still being checked at the city gate, he turned back with a few others.

There was no way around it; Chu Chen understood the principle of respecting clothes before respecting people all too well.

After observing for a while, he could tell that the guards hardly ever stopped people dressed in fine clothes.

For ordinary people, it means both inspections and charges.

It seems I need to find some clothes.

This is simple; you just need to pay the silver and buy it from passing caravans.

A short while later, a fair-skinned young man, a fat man who looked to weigh at least 200 pounds, and a slovenly young man who was as thin as a rake appeared.

The three of them stood side by side on the roadside, causing pedestrians to scramble to make way for them.

"Gian, he's here!"

Before long, they saw a super luxurious carriage coming toward them.

Behind the carriage followed several servants and a pale-faced, beardless man who looked somewhat effeminate.

The man frowned slightly when he saw the three people on the roadside.

Then he walked on ahead as if nothing had happened.

But just as their carriage approached the three men, suddenly, the three men blocked the way in front of the carriage.

"How dare you! You dare to ram our carriage!"

The effeminate man stepped forward immediately and reprimanded the three men, while the seemingly harmless servants behind him drew their swords.

Seeing this formation, Chu Chen thought to himself that things were not good; these people were obviously skilled in martial arts.

So he immediately put on a smiling face: "Gentlemen, we come from the mountains and mean no harm."

"But those guys at the city gate only look at clothes, not people. I want to ask the old man inside if I can buy some clothes."

Just as the effeminate man was about to kill the three people in front of him on the spot.

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from inside the carriage: "Oh, why are the guards looking at clothes instead of people?"

Wow, judging from her voice, she's a beautiful woman.

"I have been observing here for a long time. Those dressed in fine clothes are allowed to enter the city without paying, while people like me in tattered clothes have to pay and are still inspected."

"Several people, to varying degrees, had some valuables taken away by the guards."

After hearing Chu Chen's words, a very beautiful woman inside the carriage frowned.

His entire being exuded an aura of authority: "Wuji, is this true?"

The effeminate man outside the carriage pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That is indeed true!"

"Hehe, it seems that the Song Kingdom is truly rotten to the core."

"It's just Seoul; we can't generalize from just one instance," the effeminate man said again after listening.

"Hehe, you can see the whole leopard from a single spot. Go, give them three sets of clothes, and let's go into the city."

Wuji was somewhat dazed after hearing this: "Really give them clothes?"

"Heh, if it were you, in such a dire world, would you have noticed these details and dared to stop a wealthy family's carriage?"

"This kid in the middle is definitely extraordinary."

Wuji nodded after listening, then turned and gave a wink to the servant.

The next moment, a servant took out several sets of clothes from the carriage behind: "Go on, don't block my master's way!"

"How much silver!"

"I don't want any money." After saying that, the servant simply shoved Chu Chen aside.

Feeling the strength of the servants, Chu Chen frowned slightly, but the carriage was already moving quickly and had traveled some distance.

Looking at the clothes in his hand: "Hmph, I've made a profit!"

After saying that, he led Fatty Tiger and Niu Zi back into the mountains.

When they came out again, the three of them were completely different from before.

The dirt on his face was gone, and his hair was neatly combed.

Chu Chen was dressed in a white long robe, while Pang Hu and Niu Zi were dressed in shorts that were convenient for working.

Chu Chen was quite satisfied with the three men's attire, as it suited the image of a young master entering the city with two servants.

Sure enough, the three of them walked to the city gate and then went straight into the city.

The guards didn't even glance at them, let alone ask for a fee to enter the city.

"Brother Chen, these clothes are so new! It seems city people really do look down on people."

Fat Tiger, carrying a bag on his back, complained somewhat resentfully.

"Hehe, you two listen up. No matter which world you're in, you always respect clothes before you respect people."

The two nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Chu Chen then turned around and led them into an inn.

After booking a room and settling in, Chu Chen took out some silver and instructed the innkeeper to buy them a new set of clothes.

That's right, Chu Chen wanted to be wary of the person outside the city who gave him the clothes.

I stopped the carriage, and they gave me clothes, but they didn't take any money, which was very strange.

The material of these clothes is clearly not ordinary; it's not something common people can afford.

Although Chu Chen didn't know the price, he was sure it was incredibly high.

But if something so valuable is free, then there's something wrong with that.

Therefore, this outfit must be changed.

Chu Chen's guess was correct.

The shopkeeper took Chu Chen's silver and walked out of the room before heading into another room.

"Sir, this is the silver given to me by that person, so I can buy some clothes."

Inside the room, a man in his thirties with a sword at his side chuckled after hearing this: "Heh, not bad, this kid does have some ideas."

"Go ahead and make sure you get him the real deal, nothing extravagant, otherwise the kid will start to get suspicious again."

After the shopkeeper left, the man didn't leave but lay down to sleep. His task was simple: to monitor the three people next door and find out their backgrounds.

After Chu Chen and the others changed their clothes, they had Fatty Tiger carry the silver, and the three of them went out onto the street.

Having lived in this world for eighteen years, Chu Chen actually doesn't know much about it.

Ugly Mother wouldn't tell him too much because she had secrets, so the sensible Chu Chen wouldn't ask.

Since this is the first city I've come to in this world, I should at least come out and learn about its layout, prices, culture, and so on.

Chu Chen's first thought was to buy a house, but when the three of them went to a real estate agency to inquire...

Even the worst hospital admission would cost over a thousand taels of silver, so Chu Chen settled for the meager sum they had.

They rented a small courtyard house with Fat Tiger and Ox, and moved in.

The next day, Chu Chen took Pang Hu out onto the street, while Niu Zi stayed inside to clean.

"Brother Chen, where are we going today?"

"Wander around and see if there's any way to make money. Just follow me, protect the silver, and don't say a word."
