Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 116 The mission is complete, and we set off back to Mashan.

"Yes, Uncle Zhou, I've been staying here for several days now, and it's time for me to go back."

Chu Chen sat opposite Zhou Shixun and spoke to him.

"In that case, go ahead, but remember to visit me when you have time. This token will save you a lot of trouble in this Great Xia."

After saying that, he waved to Chu Chen and then stopped talking.

Chu Chen accepted the token, bowed, and turned to leave the Imperial Study.

There wasn't much to tidy up in the room, so we went out to the square and climbed into the off-road vehicle.

At this moment, Eunuch Wei, along with the two palace maids, blocked the carriage.

"Uncle Wei, this is..........."

"Young Master Chu, how could you be so careless as to forget something?"

What things could I possibly have? I didn't keep much stuff in the room.

So he got out of the carriage and looked at Eunuch Wei with a puzzled expression.

"Young master, now that these two sisters have followed you, they absolutely cannot stay in this palace any longer. You should take them with you."

Holy crap, this is something! Wasn't this something Zhou Shixun arranged to test me?

She's just a personal maid. Although I tested her that night and no one else has used her, why do I still want to take her away?

So he quickly said to Eunuch Wei, "As you know, I have a wife at home, this..."

"Young master, for the sake of the two sisters' pitiful state, you should take them with you and make them servants."

Eunuch Wei pulled Chu Chen aside and said with a serious expression.

"What if I don't want to?"

"Then those two wouldn't survive either."

Holy crap, what kind of logic is this? They'd kill you just because of this?

But after thinking about it, I realized that the two maids in the palace had been given away by the emperor.

There's no reason to go back. In this feudal society, who else would want these two besides themselves?

Thinking about this, Chu Chen felt a headache coming on.

However, since it was caused by oneself, one must bear the consequences.

Having a few more maids in the house wouldn't be a big deal.

So he said to Eunuch Wei, "Look at my memory, I've been so busy these past few days that I've completely forgotten about these two sisters."

Although he had killed many people in this Great Xia, Chu Chen never considered himself an utterly wicked person.

Those who were killed were also bad people.

For ordinary people, even if they haven't offended you, indirectly causing their death is not much different from murder.

After seeing off Eunuch Wei, Chu Chen then summoned the two men over.

Looking at the two contracts of servitude in his hand, Chu Chen asked them.

What are your names?

"My name is Chunxiang, and her name is Qiuju. We greet you, young master."

After saying that, the two of them knelt down on the ground.

He helped the two up and said, "You can come with me, but the first rule is that you must never kneel down and kowtow again. Get in the car."

After saying that, Chu Chen opened the car door and pushed the two of them into the car.

With a tap of the accelerator, they drove towards the palace gate.

Chunxiang and Qiuju gripped their chairs tightly, looking very nervous.

Why was this carriage going so fast? In the palace, they were just two lowly palace maids.

I've never ridden in a horse-drawn carriage in my life; I only rode in an oxcart a few times when I was a child living on a farm.

"Alright, you two, don't be nervous, it's okay. This is called a car. Follow me, and you'll see many more amazing things."

After saying that, he lit a cigarette with a snap.

Then he took out two bottles of perfume from the armrest box, which he had casually tossed in as samples earlier.

"Hey, since you're following me, you're my people, Chu Chen's people. Here, take this bottle, one bottle each."

Chunxiang looked at the cool-feeling bottle in her hand and mustered up her courage to ask Chu Chen.

“Young master, this is made of glass, it’s too precious, we can’t accept it.”

"This is called perfume, and it's made of glass. Now that you're with me, you'll gradually discover that glass is the least valuable thing in my house."

After saying that, she took out a perfume bottle, opened the cap, and sprayed it into the car.

In an instant, a fragrant breeze wafted into their noses, intoxicating them.

"Ah, I remember now. Yesterday, I heard the elder sister who serves the Empress mention that the Empress also has an object that emits a fragrance. Could it be...?"

Qiu Ju looked at Chu Chen and said with a surprised expression.

“That’s right, I also gave her that bottle. Okay, let’s go to the new house first.”

At this moment, Qiuju and Chunxiang suddenly felt a sense of happiness, realizing that they possessed something just like the Empress.

How fortunate!

However, she also knew that the young master must have a family, and she might be a concubine for the rest of her life.

But so what? Compared to those people living in the deep palace, they were infinitely more fortunate.

Chu Chen was also troubled at the moment, wondering how to arrange things between the two.

They were arranged to live in this new house in the capital, but the wicked servants were greedy for their master, and they had to be wary of bad people coming to their door.

Bringing them back to Mashan Village seemed like too many women.

After some hesitation, the car stopped in front of the new house and then turned around and headed towards the city gate of the capital.

Take them to Qingyun City and let them help Xiaofang.

If all else fails, you can go to Mashan Village to cook.

Seeing Chu Chen suddenly stop, ponder for a moment, and then head towards the city gate, the two looked at each other in confusion.

At the city gate, soldiers who had already received the news opened the gate for Chu Chen.

Amidst the dust, the SUV quickly left Beijing.

As they passed through a place called Andu City, they saw two women pressed tightly against the window, staring out.

"What's wrong with you two?" Chu Chen asked, seeing the situation.

"Young master, may I ask you a favor?" She then prepared to kneel before Chu Chen again.

But how can one kneel down inside this car?

So the two of them kept bowing.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop.

"Don't you remember what I just said? From now on, don't kneel down and kowtow."

Chu Chen gave the two of them a stern look, and only then did they quiet down.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

However, seeing Chu Chen's stern expression, the two hesitated to speak.

"Alright, now that you two are my people, speak your mind. As long as you don't go too far, everything will be fine."

Seeing that Chu Chen's tone had softened.

The older sister, Chunxiang, then spoke up: "Young master, my sister and I were originally from Andu. We entered the palace when we were young and have never returned home since."

"We are passing through Andu City. Please, young master, allow us to return home and see our parents."

Chu Chen finally understood. The palace was heavily guarded, and these two low-ranking palace maids had no chance of leaving the palace.

Feudal society really had its good and bad aspects.

So he said to the two of them, "Do you still remember the way home? I am not a heartless man. Come on, let's go to the city to buy some gifts and visit your parents."

After saying that, she gave the two of them a sweet smile.

Hearing Chu Chen's generosity, the two women, whether out of homesickness or gratitude, burst into tears.

Sigh, it's fun, but it's really troublesome when it starts to cry.

He simply lit a cigarette and ignored them.

They drove the off-road vehicle towards Andu City.
