Chapter 368 The dwelling was originally a cage
Then, with a wave of his hand, he pulled out a bag of snail rice noodles, a portable gas stove, and a small milk pot from his spatial storage.
I cooked myself some snail rice noodles.
Having grown accustomed to modern food, Chu Chen had absolutely no interest in the local cuisine.
They don't care whether the smell of snail rice noodles will waft out or not; even if people smell it, so what?
The main idea is to do whatever you want.
As long as he doesn't kill anyone, Luo Duoduo probably won't bother with him.
Moreover, he had previously cooked for two women separately, so they knew that there were ingredients in his box.
Before long, Chu Chen was holding a bowl of snail rice noodles, slurping them down while looking around the room.
The windows were surrounded by iron bars, and those solid iron bars were frighteningly thick.
If it were an ordinary person, as long as the outside was locked, even a master would have to make a lot of noise to get out.
But Chu Chen is different; his space is full of those super-sized wire cutters.
It's just a simple iron bar; with my own strength, I could easily break it quietly.
However, he had to remain calm and wait for King Rhodo to meet him so he could touch the structure of the palace before making any decisions.
After finishing his noodles, Chu Chen took out a dagger and walked to the wall of the room.
With a ripping sound, the leather covering the room wall was torn open.
In an instant, rows of iron bars lined up in front of Chu Chen.
Seeing this, Chu Chen nodded and walked to another wall.
About an incense stick later, Chu Chen sat on the bed and said leisurely, "This Luo Duo is something else, he's locked himself in an iron cage."
If my analysis is correct, then I probably won't be able to get out from here.
There would be no mention of being summoned by the king or anything like that.
So he shouted outside, "You two, go and ask your king when he will summon you!"
"Young master, please rest for a few days. The king is very busy and it will probably be a few more days before he can rest."
As expected, the maid's voice came from outside.
Chu Chen grinned after hearing this, thinking to himself that if that was the case, then he couldn't blame him for making his move ahead of time.
So he asked again, "Well, this is my first time in your Luoduo, so please take me out for a look around first. I'm about to suffocate in this little house."
The two maids looked at each other and then finally pushed open the door and came in.
"Is the young master lonely?"
Looking at their shy expressions, Chu Chen thought to himself, "They're testing me again."
Let's find out first.
He casually pulled a cigarette from his pocket and lit it: "That's right, I am indeed a bit lonely. How about you two come with me to stroll around the Rhodo Palace?"
The two women sniffed; the smell of the cigarettes was making them feel a little restless.
"Please wait a moment, young master. I will go and report to my superior first."
After saying this, one maid stayed in the room, while the other turned and left.
Chu Chen looked up at the maid who was staring intently at the cigarette in his hand, who was still in the room.
He then tossed the half-smoked cigarette butt into the bucket of water next to him.
"If you ask me, you Rhodo people are doing a terrible job. As an envoy of the Great Xia, I eat your Rhodo food and live in such a small house. And if I'm not mistaken, I can't open this door from the inside."
"What, are you going to put me under house arrest here?"
As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, the maid's eyebrows twitched, thinking to herself, "You're only just realizing it now?"
However, she had no choice; it was the king's will, saying that the man would be of great use.
We treated him to the best food and drink, ensuring he suffered no harm whatsoever; everything except freedom had to be provided for him.
So he turned to Chu Chen and said, "Young Master, things have been quite unsettled in Luoduo lately. The King is doing this to ensure your safety before we meet."
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this: "Is that so? Then you two can show me around the palace, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"
While Chu Chen was chatting casually with the maid...
Deep within Rhodo's palace, another maid knelt before a tall man, speaking to him.
"You mean, he wants to get out?"
"Does he suspect anything? If not, take him for a walk around the palace, but don't let him go to the key places."
The maid kowtowed to the man after hearing this: "Understood, Your Majesty, I will go right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and went back into the room.
"Young master, since you seem to feel lonely, how about we show you around the palace?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen realized that the King of Luo Duo's investigation into him was not thorough enough.
If they knew they could kill a grandmaster, they probably wouldn't let me out even if they were beaten to death.
Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly?
"Haha, that's great, let's go then."
After saying that, Chu Chen took the lead and walked out of the room, with the two maids quickly following on either side.
Along the way, the two of them led Chu Chen to look at those insignificant gardens and similar things.
Wherever there were soldiers guarding the area, the two women would find excuses to make Chu Chen leave.
"Your palace in Rhodes is truly beautiful. Is that the highest palace your king's bedroom?"
Chu Chen asked, pointing to the tallest building in the middle.
“Young master, that is where I, Luo Duo, hold my meetings. There’s nothing special about it.”
"Oh, that makes sense. That place isn't fun. By the way, look ahead, it's heavily guarded. Could it be your national treasury?"
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he pointed to a building that looked very sturdy, like a fortress, and asked.
In fact, as soon as he arrived at this place, his eyes were drawn to the fortress, where soldiers were gathered in several circles.
If it's not something extremely important, there's no need to guard it with such heavy troops.
The two maids hesitated slightly as Chu Chen pointed to that spot.
He then interrupted the conversation, saying, "Young master, you must be tired after being out for so long today. Why don't we go back and rest?"
Seeing their reactions, Chu Chen immediately understood what was going on.
In the past, when we passed by so many places guarded by soldiers, as long as I asked them questions, the two women would always follow the topic.
It was either the palace of a noble concubine or the residence of a prince.
This was the only place that made them hesitate slightly and change the subject.
So this place is probably where the national treasury is located.
So he said, "No, it's still early. I'll go take a look over there."
As Chu Chen spoke, he lifted his foot and headed towards the fortress.
Upon seeing this, the two maids immediately stepped forward and pulled Chu Chen away, saying, "Young Master, this is a forbidden area. It would be best if we didn't go."
“Yes, young master, go back and rest. We sisters have been with you for so long, but we haven’t had a chance to properly take care of ourselves yet.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen turned his head and smiled, "Then shall we go back to our room?"
"Yes, don't you think we sisters are very beautiful?"
"Haha, that's right, two beautiful ladies, let's go back to our room!"
Chu Chen lit a cigarette and started walking towards the room.
