Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1025 A Region Forming Its Own Country

Chu Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a soldier holding a long spear shouting at him from the city wall.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Come in! Someone's at the city gate to open it for you!"

After listening, Chu Chen obediently walked towards the city gate. Just as he approached the city gate...

The city gate was opened a crack, and a person darted out and pulled him inside!

"Whose son is this? Does he think he can just go out like that?"

The man cursed at Chu Chen, then ignored him and returned to his post.

Chu Chen was puzzled, but he was still driven into the crowd in the city.

It was no different from the city I had seen in Bu Jingtian's world; all the buildings were the same as before.

The streets are paved with bluestone slabs, but one thing is different: there are drainage outlets on the streets.

This made Chu Chen's eyes light up.

However, upon closer reflection, it dawned on me that I had done something similar back in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Perhaps among the people they recruited were those who had seen or participated in the construction work of Uncle Wu and his team.

It has been passed down from generation to generation, which is why all these things look so familiar.

Perhaps because they used modern materials, the building still retains its original appearance.

As you continue walking with the crowd, you'll see farmland and cultivated land everywhere you look.

A straight road stretches out into the distance, seemingly without end.

It seems there is something they fear outside the city walls; otherwise, the area outside the city wouldn't be so desolate.

Chu Chen walked and observed, and soon he came to a tea stall.

The best way to understand this world is to immerse yourself in its people.

So he went into the tea stall, found a spot, and sat down.

"Sir, would you like to eat or drink tea?"

"Oh, there's food here?"

"Sir, you're from the North, right? Is this your first time here? We have everything you could want. Not only do we have wine and meat, but we can even have young ladies perform. All you need is your money!"

Holy crap, what kind of perverted bunch did I just rip off? This cultural development is pretty unrestrained!

"Haha, money is no problem. We've been traveling for many days and are quite tired. Perfect timing, boss, how about you make the arrangements?"

After saying that, Chu Chen handed over a large silver ingot, weighing a full fifty taels.

The shopkeeper beamed with joy upon seeing so much money.

"Haha, young master, this place is not fit for someone of your noble status. Please come with me!"

After saying that, he led Chu Chen through the tea stall and directly into the house behind it.

Then a pretty girl led Chu Chen inside and took him directly to a private room.

Chu Chen looked him up and down, thinking to himself that the romantic culture of the Red Army was truly deeply rooted and spread extremely quickly.

Inside the private room, there was a wooden tub, a bed, and a wine table—everything one could need.

If you have money, you could stay there for a month without any problem.

"Young master must be tired from your journey. Shall I first serve you so you may bathe and change your clothes?"

The young lady looked at the young man in front of her and immediately stepped forward, saying as she reached out to touch him.

Chu Chen blushed, thinking that it was probably inappropriate for him to do something like this on his first visit here.

So he quickly took a step back and said, "Um, let me eat something first, and we can chat for a bit."

"Don't worry, as long as you serve me well, you'll be sure to reward me handsomely."

After saying that, Chu Chen took out a large silver ingot and placed it on the table.

The girl's eyes widened when she saw the silver.

She nodded repeatedly and said, "Young master, I understand. You need a little romance, don't you, my husband!"

Holy crap, this is starting to rival Red Romance!

The person who opened this shop is a real genius.

He watched as the girl sat close to him, her eyes fixed on the silver.

Chu Chen handed over the silver directly: "Keep your money safe, don't hand it over!"

"Thank you, my husband!"

"Hmm, not bad. You've been here for quite some time now, haven't you?"

"Alas... I've just arrived, and you are my first guest!"

I don't believe you for a second!

"Oh, why has the young lady ended up here? Has some natural disaster or man-made calamity occurred here?"

"Prime Minister, you probably stay at home and don't go out much on weekdays. Our Kaiyuan Kingdom has been around for over a hundred years, and we've never had any natural disasters or man-made calamities. Now that those wild beasts are kept outside the city walls, it's even more peaceful."

"I have come here out of sheer desperation. My father is a gambler, my mother is bedridden year-round, and my younger brother is still young and studying. This broken family..."

As she spoke, the girl began to sob softly.

Chu Chen felt a surge of frustration; it proved that the rhetoric was the same in every era.

"It's alright, with you here, young master, I will definitely rescue you from this predicament."

"Husband, let's not talk about these unhappy things, lest we spoil your mood!"

"Good, our Kaiyuan Kingdom is also amazing. It has been a hundred years and it is still so peaceful. It is truly rare."

"Who says it isn't...?"

Immediately afterwards, the girl began to speak to Chu Chen.

Half an hour later—and this was a proper half hour—Chu Chen had a general understanding of the world's structure.

The country was called Kaiyuan, and its population grew from just over ten thousand people to over a million people a hundred years later.

Moreover, they all occupied the plains of the entire continent.

Here, they have no enemies; their only enemies are the beasts outside the city walls, which have also been developing for centuries.

Therefore, the emperor of the Kaiyuan Kingdom spent more than thirty years building high walls around the entire country.

From then on, humans and animals lived in different worlds.

The entire Kaiyuan Kingdom was divided into countless small towns, but they were not separated from each other. Only the imperial city had its own walls and was managed independently.

The place they are in now is called Chicken Coop Street, where small tea stalls can be seen everywhere.

That's certainly true to its name.

Furthermore, Chu Chen also learned that amethyst was readily available throughout the Kaiyuan Kingdom, but no one in the entire kingdom knew what it was used for.

Therefore, amethyst was abandoned by people.

It is said that the reserves are even greater in the territory of wild animals, but since they are not worth mining, no one in the Kaiyuan Kingdom has bothered to mine them.

The purpose is achieved.

Chu Chen made an excuse to leave and, with the help of the tea stall owner, hired a carriage and headed straight for the imperial city.

Although the entire Chu Tian Realm was his territory, he couldn't just openly rob it.

This would disrupt the development of the entire world, so if you want to get amethyst, you have to find your own way.
