Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

The three of them were eating and listening to the storyteller in front of them. At this time, four men in fancy clothes, aged between 20 and 30, came to the table next to them.

The waiter came forward and asked them what they wanted to order. The man in white, who was in his 20s, ordered a pot of the best cloud tea and a lot of food. The tea was served quickly, and the young man in white spoke first.

"Have you heard? Several ministers in the court, as well as the emperor and the prince, discovered this morning that their treasuries had been robbed, and all the gold, silver and treasures were stolen."

The 27-year-old man with a mustache next to him said, "Mr. Liu, who told you that?"

A man in bright red clothes said, "What Master Liu said is absolutely true. My uncle was in the court today. The emperor ordered a search for the fugitive in the capital. Today, the city gates are strictly checking the carriages and horses leaving. Many people don't know this news yet."

The young man in light blue clothes said, "This is absolutely true. The news came from the palace."

"Is this true? We just discovered the theft this morning. All the treasures in the treasury are gone. The Prince's Mansion and several high officials in the court are also crying to the emperor in front of the palace."

"How do you know so clearly? You don't attend the morning court, and it's only 11 o'clock now. Even if the ministers have left the court, the news will only start to spread now!"

Xiao Liu in white said, "I don't have to go to court, but the court was dismissed after the morning hour today, and the emperor still left the hall in anger. When my father came home, his face was not good either. He also called us brothers to prepare ourselves mentally. In the near future, there may be no Ulan Kingdom. I came out to find you because I was upset."

The man in red said, "My uncle told me that it was the goddess from Changping who went to the palace last night. She took away all the treasures and posted a piece of paper on the wall, saying that the emperor should surrender immediately. She has great magical powers and can come and go freely. It's useless to check on these mortals at the city gate."

A young man in a light blue gown nearby asked in surprise, "Is this true? If so, it seems that our Wulan Kingdom will have to submit to Dachang Kingdom. With the boundless magical power of the goddess, how can we survive if we don't surrender?"

The other two quickly agreed, "Prince Tan is right. From now on, the people of Ulan Country will have to keep their tails between their legs."

Prince Tan sighed and said to the three of them, "If our Wulan Kingdom surrenders in the future, what kind of prince will I still be? Nothing. If Changping Kingdom doesn't kill us ministers and our families, it will be a blessing from the Bodhisattva."

After hearing this, Bi Yue and the other two felt that these officials' children seemed quite calm. Their country was about to fall, yet they still came here to drink tea and listen to books. But when you think about it, you have to live one day at a time.

If the Ulan Kingdom surrendered, the people would continue to live as usual, and the ministers would definitely not be killed all. Those treacherous ministers and parasites would either be sentenced to exile or beheaded, because the Changping Kingdom would not support these parasites.

The three of them stayed in the teahouse until 17: in the afternoon before leaving. They were just listening to gossip inside. They didn't pay any attention to what the storyteller at the front desk was telling.

I learned some things from today's gossip. The emperor of this country is quite good. He governs the country smoothly.

If the Emperor of Jingguo and the King of Ulan had not conspired to provoke Changping and start the Three Kingdoms War, these two countries would not have been on the road to destruction. After all, their appetites were too big, and they ended up losing more than they gained. It was too late to regret now!

The three of them paid the bill, walked out of the teahouse, and came to the three-story Sihai Restaurant, ready to go in for dinner. It was dinner time, and there were already quite a few guests in the lobby on the first floor.

The three of them took a look and walked up to the second floor. The layout of the second floor was not a private room. The window area was surrounded by three wooden boards that extended to the window. The height was 1.5 meters. Guests sat inside, and it was difficult for people outside to see the faces of the diners. The door was movable.

The top was open, so if there were guests talking quietly, the table next to them could hear it clearly. After the three of them sat down, the waiter came over and asked politely, "What dishes would you like to order? They are all on the menu."

After that, he handed over the menu, holding a pen and a small notebook in his hand. Chen Chen asked Luo Chen to order first. Bi Yue looked at the waiter, who was standing there respectfully, and asked him,

"The layout of your second floor is quite innovative. Is it the same for the third floor?"

The waiter looked at the woman in front of him. She was wearing a veil. Judging from her eyes, skin, and figure, she was a beautiful girl. He answered shyly,

"Miss, the layout of the third floor is not like the second floor. There are private rooms on the third floor, while the layout of the second floor is semi-enclosed. You can hear people talking on both sides clearly."

Bi Yue nodded, it seemed that she had guessed correctly, so she took out 100 coins from her pocket and handed them to him as a tip.

The waiter took the tip with a smile. Luo Chen and Chen Chen also ordered their meals and handed the bill to him. He happily went to the kitchen.

After dinner, I returned to the inn and rested on the bed for an hour. I felt very bored, so I went to Luo Chen's door and knocked on his door. "Knock knock."

Luo Chen got up from the bed, opened the door, and saw Bi Yue standing outside. He took her hand and went into the room, closed the door, hugged her, and whispered in his ear, "Yue'er, come here, is there something wrong?"

Bi Yue said to him, "I have an idea. There are not only three countries on this continent. The Taoist from Qishan last time was from a neighboring country. Anyway, we have nothing to do now.

Let's go to the west of Wulan Country and see which country borders it and what the other country's attitude is towards this war. After understanding it, you will have a rough idea in your mind. What do you think? "

"Yue'er, I'll listen to you. If you want to go and explore, I'll accompany you."

"Okay then, call Chen Chen and we'll set off now."

Luo Cheng went to the next door and knocked on the door. Chen Chen opened the door and saw that it was Luo Chen. After letting him in, he asked him, "What does the master want to talk to me about?"

Luo Chen said to him, "Yue'er wants to go outside these three countries and check what countries border Wulan Country. She will leave soon."

The two of them came to Luo Chen's room, and the three of them packed up. Because it was summer and it was not dark yet, they went to the back of the inn, pulled the carriage out, and found a secluded alley on the street to park the carriage.

The three of them took out the flying carpet, stood on it, opened the protective cover, and asked the system to help navigate to the west of Ulan Kingdom to see which other countries were nearby.

On the flying carpet, Bi Yue placed an order in the system and ordered two invisibility cloaks tailored for the two of them. The two of them took them in their hands and were overjoyed. When they put on these cloaks, they could hide their figures, which was a must-have tool for robbing and stealing treasures.
