Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1480 Sending a Girl Back to the Mansion Late at Night

Yiping cooperated, and soon a dark-faced man appeared in Chu Chen's sight.

His clothes had changed; he was now wearing a short blue robe.

She had a large belly, her face was dark, and a towel was tied around her neck to wipe away sweat.

In his hand, he held an iron knife used by martial arts practitioners.

"Okay, let's go!"

Are you sure they won't recognize you?

"Don't worry, even if your mother comes, she won't recognize you."

After saying that, Chu Chen stretched out his hand towards her: "Give me the money!"

"I haven't gone out yet."

"Then I'll give you half!"

Helpless, Yiping could only rummage inside her clothes for a while before handing Chu Chen two silver notes.

One sheet for one hundred taels, one sheet for two hundred taels.

This was the first time Chu Chen had ever seen the country's banknotes. Although he had made transactions before, he had always paid in cash.

That's ridiculous. If you have large sums of money of dubious origin, it's too easy for you to be targeted if you take banknotes to an official bank to exchange for silver.

However, for now, he could only accept banknotes; he didn't expect the woman in front of him to have several hundred taels of silver on her.

After putting away the silver notes, Chu Chen put his arm around his shoulder and walked towards the door.

At the main gate, several guards with swords watched the bustling crowd emerging from inside.

They immediately set up a small checkpoint at the entrance.

As Chu Chen led the martial arts men out, the guard recognized him at a glance as the same perverted man from before.

Moreover, the two were seen to be very affectionate, with their arms around each other's shoulders.

He immediately shouted, "Get out, get out... you pervert!"

Chu Chen ignored their shouts and curses, glanced at them with displeasure, and walked out of the brothel.

The two walked about two hundred meters before turning into a small alley.

"Alright, miss, I've done what I promised. Pay up and you're on your way!"

Yiping looked at Chu Chen with a sly smile: "Well, the city gate was in a rush today, so I didn't bring that many. You take me home, and I'll give them to you."

Chu Chen gave the woman in front of him a deep look.

Is it worth it for me to do this for three hundred taels of silver if I go home with the person the government is hunting for?

Also, after I go home with her, will she keep her promise and continue to pay me money?

In an instant, Chu Chen had the answer in his heart.

"Um... In that case, you can go now, I have other things to do."

After saying that, Chu Chen turned and left in a big stride.

The girl reacted quickly, grabbing Chu Chen's arm and saying, "You can't leave."

"Hmm, you don't mean to repay kindness with enmity, do you?"

"No, you're looking at the pitch-black night, going back alone, I... I'm scared."

"Don't worry, as long as you take me back, I will definitely double the money for you."

"Six hundred taels?"

"That's right, six hundred taels."

"Hehe." Chu Chen smiled and shook his head, then turned and left.

"Wait, six hundred taels. Your maternal family in the city has promised you something."

One thing? Upon hearing this, Chu Chen stopped in his tracks. Anyone who could say such a thing must be extremely wealthy and powerful.

There's no harm in wanting to establish oneself in Seoul and get to know the powerful and influential.

Throughout history, anyone with connections to powerful and influential people has generally been able to ride the wave of success and rise rapidly in rank.

"Then tell me, where do you live?"

"I cannot say that you should simply follow me..."

Hehe, if she doesn't tell you her address and just follows you, then she must be a woman from an official family. But why is she being chased?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen became interested: "Alright, lead the way!"

After hearing this, the woman happily reached out and grabbed Chu Chen's hand, and they headed towards the center of Seoul.

Soon after, a magnificent palace appeared before the two of them.

"Your home is in the City Lord's Mansion?"

"Hehe, yeah, wait for me at the door, I'll go back and get you the silver."

Just as Chu Chen was wondering, suddenly, the group of soldiers who had chased the woman in the brothel earlier also hurriedly walked towards them.

Upon seeing the two, the soldier who had searched the room earlier immediately recognized Chu Chen and the woman: "Oh ho, it's you two perverts again."

"Why is he not going back to rest in the middle of the night, but wandering around the city? What should be his punishment?"

Upon seeing this, the woman turned and ran, disappearing into the night in no time.

Before Chu Chen could react, he was stopped by two soldiers with knives.

They went out on a mission tonight, ordered by the city lord to find the young lady's whereabouts, but they found nothing.

I was already furious, and now that I've seen this pervert, I have to vent my anger properly.

"What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? Grandpa thinks you're bad luck, so I'm going to beat you up to vent my anger."

Holy crap, is there no law anymore?

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately became wary. In this era, talking about the law with people, especially those whose status surpassed that of officials, was simply asking for trouble.

There are only two options now: either fight them, or... they don't care about the two guards.

He was confident that if he ran, these people would never catch him.

Of course, there is a third option: to pin their hopes on the woman from before. If she has a conscience, she will probably come back to save them.

Just now, the guards didn't see the woman run away, but I saw it clearly.

This guy simply scaled the wall and entered the city lord's mansion.

That means this woman is most likely not lying to him; she is someone inside, and her status is not low.

Just then, a man stepped out from the guards: "Damn it, if you can't find the young lady, you'll be in for it. And you still have the nerve to argue with passersby, trying to show off your abilities?"

Miss, the person they're looking for is the eldest daughter of the City Lord's Mansion?

Upon receiving this news, Chu Chen immediately stopped being in a hurry.

"Yes, sir, your men are bullying the people without cause. If word gets out, it won't sound good."

The head guard was stunned. He hadn't expected that this man would dare to threaten him.

Indeed, if word gets out, this will be a disgrace to the world and will damage the reputation of the city lord.

"Um... young man, I'll have them apologize to you. You should go home now."

"And your companions, they ran away, so be it, we won't pursue it."

After saying that, the head guard kicked the two guards in the backside: "Hurry up and finish this, the city lord is waiting."

"Hehe, you can go back now. We're the ones who were in a rush tonight."

An apology, no further action?

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this. It seems that the relationship between officials and commoners remains the same. In this era, the class division is exceptionally clear.

However, the fact that they did this is a way of giving themselves face.

But if the woman inside really is the young lady from the City Lord's Mansion, then I'd be letting such a good opportunity slip away.

But just as he was pondering, the head guard immediately frowned and drew the sword from his waist.

"No, we can't just let him go like that. If he goes out and makes a scene, won't that still ruin our reputation?"
