Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 292 King Wu Tuo Seeks Help

Chu Chen looked at the group of people kneeling in front of him, then turned to look at Xiao Yu, who still looked completely bewildered.

"Alright, don't panic, it's all over now!"

After comforting Xiaoyu, he turned to look at the kneeling crowd.

Chu Chen smiled and slammed his hand on the table. For someone with the strength of a seventh rank like him, this was a powerful move.

That slap instantly smashed the table to pieces.

Then he said sternly to Yin Tiancheng, "Are you the magistrate of Wutuo City?"

Yin Tiancheng looked up at the table that had been smashed by a single blow, and felt a shiver run down his lower body as a warm sensation emanated from his pants.

"Your Excellency, no, Your Excellency, please have mercy on me, since you have suffered no loss."

"It was an unintentional mistake, please spare my life, spare my life............"

As soon as Yin Tiancheng finished speaking, the clerks and officials behind him also kowtowed to Chu Chen.

They were all uttering words like "have mercy" from their mouths.

For a moment, the entire government office was filled with shouts and cries, creating quite a lively scene.

They knew in their hearts that they had caused a disaster.

Moreover, they were helpless and wanted to kill the envoy privately to appease him.

They dared not, for if the Great Xia came to question them, they would have nowhere to hide.

Moreover, based on the palm strike Chu Chen had just displayed, Yin Tiancheng still didn't believe that his rabble would be a match for him.

Their only way out at this moment was to beg Chu Chen for his life.

Chu Chen watched all of this with great enjoyment, then stepped forward and helped Yin Tiancheng up.

"Lord Yin, you are too kind. I am new here and I hope you will take good care of me in many ways."

Yin Tiancheng looked at Chu Chen, who had suddenly become gentle, with a puzzled expression, completely unaware of what he was up to.

Have I forgiven myself? But why do I feel even more uneasy?

"Your Excellency, why don't you beat us up to vent your anger? We're not comfortable with you acting like this!"

"Alright, I don't blame you anymore. This ambassador is hungry!"

What did he say? He said he was hungry...

After hearing this, Yin Tiancheng paused for a moment, then immediately kicked the advisor in the buttocks.

"Didn't you hear the ambassador is hungry? Hurry up and bring me some delicacies!"

The advisor also felt that if he served them well today, the matter would be over.

So he took off running towards the kitchen at the back.

Chu Chen then returned to his chair, satisfied: "My lord, please have a seat!"

"I don't dare!"

"It's alright, just sit down! By the way, you there... give me back those ten taels of silver."

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he pointed to the official who had previously demanded ten taels of silver from him.

Upon hearing this, the constable immediately emptied all his money, and then emptied the other constables behind him as well, before wrapping the silver in a cloth.

He respectfully handed it to Chu Chen: "Your Excellency, I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Please treat me as nothing and let me go."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen took the bag of money and asked, "Are you sure this is ten taels?"

"No, no, Your Excellency, this is only nine taels. I will present the remaining one tael tomorrow."

Before the official could speak, Yin Tiancheng took over, saying with a fawning expression.

What a great opportunity! Tomorrow, using that one or two taels of gold as a pretext, we can give him ten thousand taels of gold or something, and the messenger's anger will probably dissipate completely.

Chu Chen understood their meaning perfectly, so he said, "In that case, it's fine. Sir, why don't you go change your pants first?"

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away. If I stay too long, I'm afraid I'll offend your eyes."

After the government official left, Chu Chen handed the pile of silver to Xiao Yu beside him.

"Alright, young master is in a good mood today, here's your reward!"

Xiao Yu blankly accepted the silver from Chu Chen, speechless for a moment.

After a long while, Xiaoyu finally stood up and walked to Chu Chen. Just as she was about to kneel down, Chu Chen pulled her away.

"Remember this, from now on, you will be my personal maid!"

"This servant knows, is it really you?"

Xiaoyu asked a question with some doubt.

"It's the real deal, otherwise why would I have seen you as my first stop in Wutuo!"

Just as the two were talking, the clerk returned to the hall and walked respectfully to Chu Chen and Xiao Yu's side.

"Your Excellency, the meal is ready. Please come in!"

Chu Chen smiled at him after hearing this, stood up, and followed his directions to the back.

A moment later, Xiaoyu looked at the table full of delicacies and swallowed hard.

She had been starving for a long time, and only ate a bowl of rice to fill her stomach with Chu Chen's help.

Seeing a table full of food right now, how could I not be tempted?

Chu Chen turned his head and glanced at the people present, then called out to the clerk, "Alright, I'll have my meal with my maid. Everyone else, please leave."

The advisor and Yin Tiancheng exchanged a puzzled look after hearing this.

"My lord, would you like me to accompany you and serve you tea and wine?"

"No need. I have some things to discuss with this maid, and it's not convenient to disturb you for the time being!"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Yin Tiancheng pulled the clerk out of the room, saying, "Envoy, please enjoy your meal!"

Once outside, they tactfully closed the door for Chu Chen and his companion.

After everyone had left, Chu Chen said to Xiao Yu, "Eat up, hurry up!"

"Young master, do you think I may also sit at the table?"

"I don't have many rules here, eat up!"

Seeing that Chu Chen looked serious, Xiao Yu stopped being coy and sat down to eat and drink heartily.

After a full incense stick's time, Xiaoyu patted her round belly somewhat awkwardly and let out a long burp.

"Young master, I'm finished eating!"

While Xiaoyu was indulging in a feast, inside a huge palace in the center of Wutuo City...

Yin Tiancheng was kneeling in front of a middle-aged man, talking to him about Chu Chen.

"The Great Xia envoy? During the time of natural disaster, I sent my ambassador to seek help. Has he finally arrived?"

"Your Majesty, he has produced a gold envoy's token!"

"Ah, why didn't you say so sooner? Quickly... send men to prepare horses, we must go and pay our respects! We must not be negligent!"

It turns out that when the Kingdom of Wutuo suffered from disaster, it sent an ambassador to Daxia for help.

As a vassal state, in addition to paying annual tribute, it would also seek help from the Great Xia, which it was dependent on, in the event of foreign invasion, natural disasters, or man-made calamities.

But after the ambassador was sent out, he received no response.

Little did the messenger know that upon entering the mountains, he would encounter the tiger-tamer and be devoured, leaving not even a trace.

Unexpectedly, just when the natural disaster had passed and everything was in need of rebuilding, the envoy arrived.

This delighted the King of Wu Tuo, who had been worrying about how to save his people.

"How many people were in that envoy's party? Did they carry a lot of supplies?"

Inside the carriage, the king asked Yin Tiancheng urgently.

"Your Majesty, it was just... just two people... who were... and..."

"Give me what? Tell me already!"

"Bring them to the yamen!"
