Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 272 Rescuing Compatriots in a Restaurant

Seeing this, Chu Chen pondered for a moment as he walked toward a luxurious-looking restaurant.

With the 20,000-strong army of the Bear People Kingdom, if I don't provide support from inside, the 20,000 soldiers of the Great Xia will never be able to breach this northern city.

Even if they have crossbows, it won't work.

In this era, sieges without large weapons, relying solely on manpower for fighting, are essentially wars of attrition.

Moreover, the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty had never been accustomed to this icy and snowy environment, and their physical strength was a huge problem.

It seems I'll have to walk around the city wall again this afternoon.

Most of the city walls in the northern border region are covered by heavy snow. If the walls are relatively sturdy, then we must take action tonight.

Use the grenades in the space to damage some of his equipment first.

Judging from the speed of the Great Xia soldiers, it is estimated that they will be able to enter the outer perimeter of this northern city in two more days.

If I create a few breaches tonight, given the current infrastructure capabilities of Saibei City, it will be almost impossible to restore it immediately.

Having made up his mind, Chu Chen plopped down at one of the tables in the bar.

A moment later, a man who looked like a waiter came over.

Contrary to Chu Chen's expectations, they were not enthusiastic at all; their first words were cold: "Token!"

Chu Chen glanced at him sideways, then waved his hand and tossed the golden token that the red-robed protector had given him onto the table.

The waiter picked it up and took a look; it instantly changed its appearance.

"Your subordinate greets the Dharma Protector. Your Excellency, please take a seat in the private room."

"Okay, lead the way!"

The waiter was also puzzled. Why would a dignified Dharma Protector come here to eat?

However, no matter what, he couldn't be negligent towards the man in front of him, so he quickly led Chu Chen to a private room on the second floor.

As soon as Chu Chen sat down, the waiter didn't even ask Chu Chen to order; he just bowed and scraped and left.

Meanwhile, from the private room next door, a series of soft, guttural sounds could be heard.

It was clearly a few women singing next door. After they finished singing, the voice of the Bear People Kingdom came from the private room.

Chu Chen couldn't understand, but from their laughter and the woman's pleas for mercy, he knew what was going on.

Just as Chu Chen was thinking about how to get rid of them, the waiter and several servants brought him a table full of dishes in an instant.

Chu Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Brother Er, who is that person next door?"

"Guardian, a few scoundrels are having some fun next door. Would you like to join in?"

Seeing the waiter's fawning expression, Chu Chen burst into laughter: "Haha, very good!"

"Please wait a moment, Your Excellency!"

After saying that, the waiter led his servants out, and soon returned with several pretty girls.

Holding musical instruments, they bowed to Chu Chen and his group before sitting down.

Immediately afterwards, the two girls began to sing.

The other girl obediently sat down next to Chu Chen and served him food and drink.

Chu Chen put on a proper act and reached out to put his hand on the shoulder of the girl next to him.

The girl suddenly paused for a moment, and then a slight tremor came from Chu Chen's palm.

"Young master, I will serve you wine and meat!"

Seeing this, Chu Chen removed his hand: "Alright, I can eat by myself. Aren't you a member of the Tongtian Divine Sect?"

"Young master, spare my life! Is there something I did wrong?"

When the woman saw Chu Chen release her grip, she immediately knelt down before him, while the two singers were so frightened that they went off-key.

"Alright, you two, don't be nervous, keep singing, you get up!"

Perhaps the waiter outside the door heard the girl's voice, because he knocked on the door and came in.

"Guardian, is there anything you need?"

"Well, these three girls are all nice, but it's too noisy here..."

"Haha, Guardian, please follow me."

After saying that, the waiter led Chu Chen and the three girls up to the third floor.

Before long, we entered a quaint room.

Along with that came a table full of dishes!

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the Tongtian Divine Sect held a truly high position in this northern city.

The waiter gave Chu Chen a "take it easy" look, then turned and left, considerately closing the door behind him.

"Alright, you two, keep singing. You come here."

Seeing the waiter leave, Chu Chen turned around and gave instructions to the three of them.

"Young master, you're not going to eat? Then what about us?"

After saying that, the girl walked towards the bed, but Chu Chen could clearly feel that she was walking unnaturally, as if she was enduring great pain.

"Alright, I have something to ask you!"

"Ah, young master, you're not...?"

"Um... Young Master has something to attend to today, so we'll do it another day."

Chu Chen was well aware of what the girl meant, but he wasn't a drunkard.

After saying that, Chu Chen pulled the girl to sit down opposite him.

Half an hour later, Chu Chen looked at the girl sobbing softly and the red, swollen marks on her face, and instantly clenched his fist.

"Don't worry, you'll stay with me for the next few days. You don't need to go anywhere. I'll protect you!"

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't make things difficult for them, the three of them were instantly relieved.

"Thank you for saving my life, young master. If it weren't for you, I might have lost my life in just a few days."

“But young master, this place is not safe. If those bear lords see us, perhaps even you cannot protect us.”

Chu Chen thought about it and realized it made sense. Although the Tongtian Divine Sect was quite powerful in this northern city, in the end, it was just a vassal of the Bear People Kingdom.

If a real conflict arises, then one can only admit defeat.

So he asked, "Then find a place, and I'll take you there!"

The girl nodded and led Chu Chen out, heading downstairs.

As luck would have it, just as they stepped out of the restaurant and into a small alley, they encountered five soldiers from the Bear People Kingdom.

"Hey, this girl's not bad, we'll take her. Kid, you can get lost now!"

The leading soldier spoke to Chu Chen in a somewhat broken Daxia dialect.

After listening, Chu Chen looked around and casually drew a silenced pistol from his waist and held it in his hand.

Then he stepped forward and took out the token given to him by the red-robed protector: "Master Xiong, I am the protector of the Tongtian Divine Sect. These three are my wives. Please do me a favor, Master Xiong."

The leading soldier looked at the golden token in Chu Chen's hand, then looked around to make sure no one was around.

He turned to Chu Chen and laughed, "The wife of the Tongtian Sect's protector, have you and your brothers had a taste yet?"

"Haha, big brother, I like it."

"If you like it, then just take it."

After they finished speaking, they drew their knives from their waists: "Kid, for the sake of this lousy sign, get lost, and we'll spare your life."

After saying that, he tried to step forward and pull the three girls away.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately stepped forward to block the three girls: "Master Xiong, although I haven't done very well in this Northern City, I have obtained a treasure. Would you like to take a look?"

"Oh, what treasure is it? Quickly, take it out."
