Chapter 644 Successfully Arrives in Anchang Kingdom
When he woke up, he found that it was already dark.
The carriage stopped shaking, and the sounds of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts could be heard outside.
So he got up and stepped out of the carriage, and saw a fire burning on the ground and tents being set up.
"Senior, you're awake?"
When Wang Da saw Chu Chen get up, he immediately went up to him and said something.
"Yes, it's so tiring every day. Where have we gotten to?"
Chu Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked Wang Da.
"Senior, we're almost there. We'll walk another thirty li tomorrow and reach Tongluo County. Then things will be much easier."
After listening, Chu Chen stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "You've worked hard. From now on, just call me Young Master Chu. Calling me 'senior' makes me feel old."
Wang Da nodded somewhat embarrassedly after hearing this, then pointed to a bonfire and said, "Young Master Chu, there's some meat roasting over there, have some!"
Chu Chen glanced at the fire and saw the officials roasting meat with various tools.
Although there were no other seasonings, just a little salt, it still smelled delicious.
So he took out a few bottles of seasoning from his backpack and handed them to Wang Da, saying, "Go, spread these on the grilled meat, it will smell even better."
Wang Da took the seasonings and ran towards the barbecue without hesitation.
Chu Chen looked around and found that the people of Niujia Village were not being neglected either, and were also grilling meat on the side, so he didn't say anything.
After all, the people of Niujia Village were ordinary people without any martial arts skills, so it was normal that they couldn't get along with these officials.
Soon after, as Wang Da sprinkled the seasonings, the roasted meat suddenly emitted a fragrant aroma, instantly making everyone swallow hard.
Wang Da looked at the small porcelain bottles in his hand as if they were treasures, thinking to himself that not only was Young Master Chu's martial arts amazing, but even his condiment was so extraordinary.
Don't underestimate him just because he's a powerful Earth Realm expert. With this, he could become best friends with even the legendary Divine Realm master from the Central City.
After all, people with higher levels of understanding don't like fighting and killing, but they are very fond of the little things in life.
So he immediately took the bottles and returned to Chu Chen's side: "Young Master Chu, here you go!"
"It's yours, I don't need it!" Chu Chen didn't care about the money; he had plenty of his own.
But Wang Da was different. He looked at the seasoning in his hand with great care: "Young Master Chu, this... such a precious item, how can you accept it?"
"Just take it, why are you asking so many questions!"
Chu Chen was too lazy to waste words on such trivial matters, so after finishing his sentence, he walked towards the roasted meat.
When everyone saw him arrive, they all stood up and called him "senior." A quick-witted officer swiftly cut off a piece with his knife and handed it over with both hands.
Chu Chen smiled and accepted it: "Thanks, brother!"
Then he started eating heartily: "Mmm, it tastes good, everyone should try it!"
Wang Da carefully put away the seasonings before coming to Chu Chen's side and starting to eat as well.
Seeing such an easygoing Earth Realm expert, the officials soon became less reserved and began to move around.
After finishing his meal, Chu Chen went to Niu Er's side.
"Brother Niu Er, are you settling in alright?"
"Ah... Brother Chu... Senior, it's a habit, I'm used to it!"
"Brother Niu Er, are you treating me like an outsider? Why are you calling me 'senior'? Do you want to be like them?"
Niu Er was somewhat flattered: "Brother Chu, they say you're a powerful Earth Realm expert, a true super master. Although I don't understand, you're definitely much stronger than them, so..."
Chu Chen laughed heartily after hearing this: "Brother Niu Er, no matter how strong I am, I am still your Brother Chu. Follow me, and there won't be so many rules."
After talking for a while and allaying Niu Er's concerns, Chu Chen returned to the carriage and went to sleep wrapped in a blanket.
The next morning, Chu Chen was awakened by the sound of tidying up.
He poked his head out to look at the bright sky, then peeked back in.
Since there's no need to travel, I might as well stay home and continue sleeping.
As the carriage moved slowly, Chu Chen followed along, bobbing up and down towards Tongluo County.
Finally, in the afternoon, they arrived at the so-called foot of the imperial city.
Chu Chen rolled up the carriage window and asked Wang Da, "Is this the capital city or Tongluo County?"
Looking up, one sees a tall city wall, which looks much more magnificent than the city wall of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The entire city wall was built of heavy bluestone, making it appear indestructible.
On the city wall, there were soldiers patrolling back and forth, although they were all carrying cold weapons.
But Chu Chen could tell that each of them had a cultivation level of around rank two.
"Young Master Chu, this is the imperial city. The entire imperial city is surrounded by this city wall. Inside, it is divided into various counties. After we enter, we will pass through one county and arrive at our Tongluo County."
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that this was the first time he had seen such a layout, and that such a large-scale city wall could be built.
What are they guarding against?
If not, why do the ordinary soldiers on the city walls all possess strength of the second rank or above?
He wanted to ask a question, but he was afraid that asking too many questions would expose his ignorance and attract the attention of those big shots.
So he nodded and shrank back into the carriage.
Seeing this, Wang Da led the group toward the city gate.
Upon arriving at the city gate, Wang Da took out his personal token and handed it to the guards: "Gentlemen, I am Wang Da, the head constable of Tongluo County. Please let me through!"
The garrison soldier glanced at the entire group, then asked with some confusion, "Why bring along some ordinary people?"
"You may go in; the common people may remain outside the city!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Da immediately frowned: "Gentlemen, please do me a favor. These ordinary people are all followers of a senior, so..."
Just then, a voice came from behind them: "What's going on?"
"Greetings, Commander!"
Upon seeing this, the garrison soldiers immediately went to the man's side and reported the situation to him.
"Hehe, senior, where did this senior come from? Please ask him to come out and speak."
Chu Chen watched all this from inside the carriage and suddenly felt a little bored. Why were there so many pretentious people everywhere?
He sized up the man before him and saw that he possessed the strength of a ninth-rank official. Everyone called him the commander, so he was probably the head of the organization.
So, with no other choice, he unleashed his full aura: "Ignorant brat, are you courting death?"
The commander felt the pressure from the Earth Realm expert and immediately knelt down in fear.
"I had no intention of offending you; it was merely my duty. Please forgive me, senior!"
