Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1202 Beautiful Woman Named Himezuki

When Ye Xin saw Ji Yue, his eyes visibly darted away.

But there was nothing he could do; Chu Chen was someone he had brought with him, and considering that Chu Chen had given him more than ten days of carefree fun down there, he had to say what needed to be said.

So he repeated the same explanation he had given to Lao Wang to Ji Yue.

Ji Yue showed no expression, but inwardly she was quite surprised.

As soldiers of the Heavenly Emperor, they should know that there are many complex relationships within the entire military camp.

Therefore, after Ye Xin finished speaking, she also felt a sense of urgency to take Chu Chen seriously.

After the handover, Ye Xin secretly pulled Chu Chen aside and said, "Brother, this is all I can do for you."

"Being in the military camp is different from being outside; you have to be quick-witted in everything you do."

"Also, your centurion is no benevolent person. Many chiliarchs want her, so you shouldn't get too close to her, or you'll offend a lot of people without realizing it."

Chu Chen nodded after listening, realizing he didn't have much experience in military camps.

But it's easy to imagine that as long as there are people in the world, there will be all sorts of inexplicable relationships, which will increase the risk factor considerably.

Moreover, in a military camp where there are more men than women, a woman as beautiful as her would certainly be coveted by many.

If you have no connections and are ignorant, you will definitely be seen as a thorn in someone's side.

"Don't worry, Brother Xin, I know!"

"Okay, then Brother Xin will be leaving first. But don't be afraid of causing trouble. Old Wang and I have a good relationship. If anyone causes trouble, just go directly to Old Wang."

"If all else fails, go to the central command and find me. Anyone who dares to bully you, I'll kill them."

After hearing this, Chu Chen very readily took out five packs of good cigarettes: "Thanks, Brother Xin. Take this as your ration. Come find me when you're done. I have plenty more."

Five packs of cigarettes, and as Ye Xin's addiction grows stronger, he can go back and share them with his personal guards in about ten days.

In about ten days, this guy will definitely come looking for me.

By then, I'll have become somewhat familiar with these people. A commander of a thousand households coming to see a tenth-household officer will, in effect, elevate my status.

Ye Xin happily accepted Chu Chen's gifts and turned to leave.

Soon after, the aloof Ji Yue led Chu Chen into a house: "Chu Chen, this is your barracks. According to regulations, ten households do not have their own barracks, so please make do for now."

"After you leave for the outer regions and earn military merits, you will be promoted."

"Thank you, Lord Centurion."

After speaking, Chu Chen produced a bottle of women's perfume in his hand: "Lord Centurion, this is a mortal item brought from the lower realm. It is called perfume. When sprayed on, it will continuously emit fragrance. Consider it a small gift for our first meeting."

Ji Yue frowned slightly as she looked at the glass bottle in Chu Chen's hand.

Given her personality, how could she accept a gift from a subordinate? However, the fact that she continuously exuded a fragrance made her hesitate.

Which girl doesn't love beauty and doesn't want to smell nice?

So in the end, she accepted Chu Chen's perfume, said thank you, and turned to leave.

After Ji Yue left, Chu Chen pushed open the door of the barracks, looked up, and was immediately dumbfounded.

What kind of barracks is this? This is more like a refugee camp.

Inside, there was a large communal sleeping platform with ten people lying on it, while a separate bed in the middle seemed to be empty.

Inside, it was filthy and reeked of various male odors.

Upon seeing someone arrive, everyone immediately scrambled to their feet: "Brother, who are you?"

Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony and directly took out his Ten-Household Token: "Brothers, I am your new Ten-Household Lord. My name is Chu Chen. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

The ten people glanced at Chu Chen lazily, without any expression.

Chu Chen was a little annoyed, but since he was new here and hadn't figured out anything yet, he couldn't get angry.

Just then, a slightly older-looking man stepped out from the crowd: "This humble one greets Lord Shihu. Lord Shihu has just arrived today. Everyone, please welcome him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other nine men saluted Chu Chen.

After returning the greeting, Chu Chen asked the person in front of him, "Brother, what is your name?"

"This humble one is Zhu Liu, Lord Tenth Household, this is your bed, this way please!"

After saying that, he led Chu Chen to his private bed and spread out the filthy quilt.

Chu Chen glanced at it with some disdain, then said, "This belongs to the previous Lord Ten, right? This..."

"Please bear with us, Lord Tenth Household. We have not been informed by the higher-ups that a new Lord Tenth Household is coming, so please make do with us."

Chu Chen didn't show any disgust. He simply dragged over a chair next to him, sat down, and started chatting with them.

An hour later, Chu Chen leisurely took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

"Don't be sad, everyone. I, Chu Chen, am here, and I will not let you suffer."

Everyone stared blankly as Chu Chen puffed out smoke, unable to tell whether this Lord of Ten was bragging or genuinely understood them.

It turns out that although these people were soldiers under the Heavenly Emperor, their treatment was not very good.

The place they were in was called Heavenly Emperor City. Although everyone there was very powerful, if everyone was powerful, then it would seem quite ordinary.

Everyone was a Saint Realm expert, but there were differences in wealth and poverty.

These people, though called sergeants, would be more accurately described as miners.

Ordinary soldiers were at the bottom of the military camp, so their lives were not affluent.

Since the Multi-Element Stone is controlled by the Heavenly Emperor, the currency circulating here is still mainly gold coins.

They joined the army or became miners, which was an extremely dangerous and poorly paid profession.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't make a living outside, who would want to be a miner?

Therefore, their monthly income from coming here is only ten gold coins.

As for the purchasing power of ten gold coins, it shocked Chu Chen to learn that ten gold coins could only barely support a family of three for a month.

The previous head of the Ten Households lost his life while mining, going too far into the mine in order to exceed the task and receive a reward of two gold coins. That's why everyone looks so listless right now.

After listening, Chu Chen also deeply felt the Heavenly Emperor's powerful ability to control people.

If humanity becomes powerful, then enslaving them means controlling their income and making them struggle for survival. This way, no one will rebel, and the power source will be continuously provided.
