Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1569 Duolong Chuchen Talks Business

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, the soldier with the injured thigh turned ashen-faced.

He immediately struggled to his feet and knelt before Duolong, saying, "Your Majesty, I...I am guilty, but I was also worried about spies from other countries coming to harass us!"

"You scoundrel! Guards! This man has offended Young Master Chu and is attempting to sabotage the relationship between Mobei and Nalan. Kill him on the spot!"

Duolong was helpless, because they were right next to the northern desert, so he knew all too well what had happened there.

The man before us is not just someone who led the Song army to defeat the Xiongnu, but also someone who governed the Xiongnu in an orderly manner, quelled banditry within a month, and unified the entire northern desert region within half a year.

According to his information, even Emperor Dong Shilan of the Song Dynasty was quite wary of him. How could his small country of Nalan withstand his wrath?

Therefore, this person who offended Chu Chen must be killed, and it must be done in front of Chu Chen to show his sincerity.

Chu Chen felt a pang of sorrow as he watched a soldier sever the head of the soldier who had just drawn his sword against him.

But he had to do it; if he were too agreeable, Nalan probably wouldn't be so respectful to him.

"Young Master Chu, are you satisfied with how this person was dealt with?"

Chu Chen did not answer Duolong, but instead said to the men he had brought, "Put down your weapons and do not embarrass yourselves in front of His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, the three hundred men immediately slung their weapons back onto their chests and stood in front of the carriage again.

Everyone was perfectly synchronized, which made Duolong's heart skip a beat.

He could sense the murderous aura of these three hundred men. If they were to use this weapon to storm the capital and then kill him in the palace, it wouldn't be impossible.

Moreover, these are just the people Chu Chen has openly represented; who knows how many people he has planted behind the scenes?

Therefore, befriending Chu Chen at this moment is the best choice.

"General Chu has come from afar. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, why not come to the palace for a visit and let your elder brother host a welcome feast for you?"

Upon hearing the word "older brother," Chu Chen immediately smiled.

Since they are so sincere, why should I resort to violence? "Haha, since Brother Duolong is so hospitable, Chu Chen would be ungrateful if he hesitated any longer. Please!"

"Haha, Brother Chu, please!"

In just a few words, the two became much closer.

Led by Duolong, the group quickly arrived at the palace.

Chu Chen arranged for all his men to stay in the palace courtyard, while Chu Chen himself took Gou Shengzi into Duolong's study.

After the host and guest were seated, Duolong immediately sent several maids to sit next to Chu Chen to serve him.

Looking at the maids dressed so scantily and Duolong, who took off his clothes and went shirtless as soon as he entered the imperial study, Chu Chen smiled to himself. The customs here are really damn cool.

If I didn't know this was the Imperial Study, I would have thought I had wandered into a brothel.

"Haha, brother, there's one downside to this place, which is the hot weather. So we dress rather lightly here. I wonder if you can accept that?"

"It's alright, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. But I came from the snow-capped mountains, where the temperature is quite pleasant and comfortable. It's definitely a bit hot here."

"That's just because of the snow-capped mountains."

As they chatted, the two got into a lively conversation.

Soon after, Chu Chen, Gou Shengzi, and Pang Hu were all invited to the table by Duolong. The table was laden with delicacies, making Pang Hu's mouth water.

He had been eating whatever he could find along the way, and he was really craving food.

However, at this moment his identity is the Minister of Commerce of the Northern Desert, so he still has the proper manners.

To help them integrate as quickly as possible, Chu Chen was generous and had Pang Hu bring over several bottles of good wine. So, amidst the clinking of glasses, everyone stopped talking about business and focused solely on food and drink.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Duolong had someone take Chu Chen and his party to rest. To make things easier for them, he provided them with a large courtyard that could accommodate three hundred people.

Chu Chen, on the other hand, was placed in an extremely spacious room.

Inside the room, steam was rising from a large wooden basin, where five maids were already waiting to serve Chu Chen.

Inside the room, the other maids were each doing their own thing, some carrying changes of clothes, some carrying towels, some carrying fans, and so on, which dazzled Chu Chen.

He thought to himself, "This Duolongtai really knows how to enjoy life. This is the life an emperor should have."

"General, let me help you change your clothes and take a bath!"

Amidst the repeated cries of "General," Chu Chen gradually lost himself.

.....................

The next morning, Chu Chen woke up refreshed from the warm embrace. After washing up, he was taken directly to breakfast.

Breakfast was exceptionally lavish, with a full thirty-eight dishes. Chu Chen twitched at the sight, thinking, "Damn, this is what life is all about."

After breakfast, I was led into Doron's study.

"Brother, how was your night?"

"Haha, Brother Duolong really knows how to enjoy himself!"

"Hehe, to be honest, brother, I don't like to fight with others, and I don't have any great ambitions. I just want to stay quietly in my own little plot of land, so that the people of Nalan can afford to eat, afford to wear clothes, and not be bullied."

Chu Chen nodded in agreement: "That's why Brother Duolong is living the life of a god."

"Unlike some emperors, who are insatiable and whose minds are full of scheming all day long, such people will eventually pay a heavy price."

Duolong sighed inwardly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You're practically mentioning Dong Shilan's name. It seems this Chu Chen is an exceptionally vengeful person."

However, judging from this kid's abilities, I'm afraid the Song Dynasty will soon change hands.

Moreover, this person has a great ambition for expansion, and when the time comes, he will definitely want to fight outside. If Nalan can take advantage of this time to befriend him and sign some peace agreements, that would be the best outcome.

"Brother, I'm not a very ambitious person, so I often need your help."

"Brother Duolong, you flatter me!"

"I wonder what brings Brother Chu Chen to Nalan this time? I heard you brought a large amount of goods with you. Are you looking to trade with Nalan?"

After listening, Chu Chen beckoned to Fatty Tiger beside him, and Fatty Tiger led his men to place several boxes in front of Duolong.

Inside the box were various perfumes, soaps, and other toiletries.

"Brother Duolong, please take a look. We've come here to recommend these items to you. It's said that the capital of Nalan is named after flowers, so you have a unique advantage here. We have a lucrative business opportunity that we'd like to discuss with you."
