Chapter 364 The Mission Drives Horses Near the Snow Mountain
The next day, the delegation left Andu City through the gates of Andu and headed straight for Rhodo, after being warmly seen off by Mu Zheng.
Before leaving, Mu Zheng pulled Chu Chen aside and gave him a long talk about being careful and so on.
Moreover, he also gave Chu Chen a ceramic grenade that Zheng Jing had given him, which he had obtained from an unknown source.
Chu Chen accepted the grenade, expressed his gratitude, and then got into the carriage and left.
Chu Chen casually sent the grenade into his spatial storage.
I'm thinking of finding a time to throw it away; this thing is too unstable.
If it explodes inside the space, then you'll be left with nothing but tears.
The mission's carriage creaked and groaned as it traveled along the official road of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Because the car was covered with thick cushions, Chu Chen didn't feel much of a bumpy ride.
Aside from being a bit shaky, everything else is acceptable.
The two maids understood that Chu Chen disliked being waited on, so they obediently stayed in the outer room.
Three days later, Chu Chen stepped out of the carriage. A sudden gust of cool wind made him turn back and put a coat on himself.
"Where are we? Why is it so cold?"
"Young master, we are almost at the snow mountain. Once we cross this great snow mountain, we will enter the territory of my Luoduo."
Upon seeing Chu Chen emerge, the maid immediately turned and answered.
Just then, all the carriages of the entire delegation came to a stop.
Before long, the head of the delegation, Ross Biao, came running up to Chu Chen.
"Young Master Chu, we are about to reach the snow mountain, so we plan to camp here for the night and set off tomorrow, hoping to cross the snow mountain before nightfall."
"Alright, then Brother Biao, you've done a good job!"
Chu Chen politely greeted Audrey, then got out of the car and walked to the side.
Seeing this, the two burly maids quickly followed.
“Young master, do you want to see the scenery? The scenery here is so beautiful. It’s my first time here, and I was so captivated by it that I couldn’t move.”
Chu Chen laughed heartily: "How many times have you come to Great Xia?"
"Reporting to young master, this is my first time!"
After listening, Chu Chen couldn't help but look at the two girls, who were probably around seventeen or eighteen years old.
At their age, they're already traveling abroad with a delegation, so in Rhodes, they must be top students.
However, Chu Chen was puzzled as to why neither of them possessed any martial arts skills.
Logically speaking, these two were specifically sent to keep an eye on him, so Rhodes must have investigated him beforehand.
Then you should at least have two martial arts masters by your side, what's the point of having two girls?
However, it's also possible that Chu Chen simply couldn't gauge the difference in their abilities, and that he would only know once he tried.
Chu Chen did not answer, but instead looked up at the snow-capped mountain.
He was thinking about the snow-capped peak that Zhou Shixun had mentioned, but he could only see half of the tall snow-capped mountain in front of him.
The other half of the mountain was blocked by a thick fog, so no one knew what was happening up there.
Soon after, the entire mission camp was set up, and slowly, wisps of smoke began to rise from the center of the camp.
Chu Chen had seen the food served by the Rhodes Mission, but it didn't give him the slightest appetite.
For the past few days, Chu Chen has been hiding in the carriage eating dry rations. One reason is to guard against them poisoning him, and the other is that he really can't stand those colorful things that people eat with their hands.
So he turned to the two maids and said, "Gentlemen, how about the young master gives you some special treatment?"
“Please prepare some special dishes for you, young master. Is our Luo Duo food not good enough? How about I have them prepare some Da Xia cuisine for you?”
"Don't bother them, I'll take you two out for a nice meal."
After saying that, Chu Chen turned around and went back to the carriage. He took out a folding barbecue grill and a pot from the large box that he had asked Zhou Shixun to make for him.
"Alright, you two go find some firewood to start a fire."
Although the two maids didn't understand why Chu Chen wanted to do this, they had no choice but to comply since he had spoken.
Soon, Chu Chen set up a barbecue grill over the fire. After the fire had completely turned into embers, he placed slices of marinated pork belly and skewers of grilled meat on the grill.
Next to a stove made of stones, a pot of water was boiling.
Chu Chen put three packets of instant noodles in, and soon the aroma of barbecue and instant noodles spread in all directions.
The two women stared incredulously, cigarettes dangling from their lips, their eyes wide: "Young master, is this food from the Great Xia? It smells so good!"
"Here, you two have a taste."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he took out two disposable bowls, put two bowls of instant noodles in their bowls, and opened a bottle of "otaku's happy water" and poured a cup for each of them.
In this era, no matter which country you're in, instant noodles absolutely crush everything else.
For the two maids who ate those colorful dishes every day, it was even more appealing.
Seeing this, the two women stopped being polite and took Chu Chen's bowl, then began to eat heartily.
Chu Chen couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the two of them eat instant noodles with cigarettes between their fingers. This scene was just too damn cool.
Before long, the aroma would also attract the rest of the group.
"Brother Biao, there wasn't much food, so I didn't bring any for you."
As Luo Sibiao watched the two maids devouring their noodles and smelled the enticing aroma in the air, his mouth watered.
"Young Master Chu, I just came to take a look, just to take a look..."
,
Chu Chen wasn't stingy and handed over a skewer of grilled meat.
Luo Sibiao took a bite and left the three of them, satisfied.
While they were enjoying their feast, little did they know that a pair of eyes were secretly watching them from a short distance away.
"Boss, the group camped over there should be the delegation from the Kingdom of Narata."
"Oh, I heard that our Great Xia also sent a wealthy man to Luoduo this time. There must be a lot of gold and silver treasures in that caravan."
A bearded man listened to his subordinate's report and spoke leisurely.
"But Chief, this Jie Luo Duo delegation is guilty of a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of their family... this..."
The subordinate looked at the bearded leader with a worried expression, and said hesitantly.
After hearing his subordinate's words, the bearded man began to consider the matter.
But after completing this job, I estimate that my group will never have to make a living on the edge again.
He didn't want to give up, but he was weighing the pros and cons.
After pondering for a long time, he said to his subordinates, "It's alright. We will definitely have to take the calamity, but it doesn't have to be in the territory of Great Xia."
"Boss, are you saying it's in Luoduojie?"
"No, do you see the snow-capped mountain ahead? They're robbing on that mountain. Go keep an eye on them and come back to report their movements at any time."
His subordinates obeyed and left, while he turned and walked into the mountains.
At the mountainside, he waved his hand, and a door filled with snow opened from the mountainside, and the group of people crawled inside.
He then arrived at a hollow in the mountain and instructed one of his men, "Go and call the second and third leaders. We have important matters to discuss!"
