Xu Ruolan's train of thought has always been unique, and she talks about marriage consummation every now and then, so everyone has become accustomed to it.

"Okay, Ruolan will go with us. What about the others?" Chen Xuan asked the girls.

"I won't go. I bought everything I needed yesterday." Lu Qiqi said.

"Me too." Liu Yiyi also said softly.

In the end, Li Xiuning, An Ruxue, Li Xuanxuan, Su Qingcheng and others all decided not to go.

"I'm going!"

Yang Ying'er came over with a gun in her hand. She pointed at the tip of her gun and said, "This gun is no longer usable. I'm going to go to the city to find a blacksmith to forge a new one!"

Ever since all the people from the escort agency died, Yang Ying'er has become deeply aware of the shortcomings of her own strength. On the way to the border, she has been practicing her shooting skills almost every day. Now the gun in her hand is severely worn out.

"Okay, then let's go together."

Chen Xuan asked Liu Jinyu to prepare the horses, and they rode into the city.

Fortunately, although they lived in the suburbs, it was not too far away. They arrived at the city gate in less than half an incense stick of time.

"It's the guy named Chen from the capital."

"Don't check this guy, quick, quick, turn around and pretend you didn't see it."

As soon as the soldiers guarding the city saw Chen Xuan, they immediately turned around as if they had seen the god of plague, pretending not to see him.

Chen Xuan suddenly felt a little strange. Was he that scary?

However, these soldiers guarding the city did not check him, which gave him some peace and quiet, so he rode straight in.

"Master Chen, it seems your reputation has spread throughout the Barbarian City. Now even the soldiers guarding the city have become obedient after seeing you."

Liu Jinyu said with a smile that this feeling of being scared when others see him makes him feel very majestic.

"Fear power but not virtue." Chen Xuan shook his head, thinking of the arrogant and domineering faces of the soldiers guarding the city yesterday.

His current face is completely different from his previous face.

"People are all like this. When they see someone stronger than themselves, they get scared and want to cling to them. When they see someone weaker than themselves, they want to bully them."

Liu Jinyu laughed and spoke.

"Sister Xu, what do you want to buy?" Chen Xuan looked at Xu Ruolan.

At the beginning, he called Xu Ruolan "Miss Xu". Later, Xu Ruolan felt that it was too strange to call her that and she didn't like it, so Chen Xuan changed his address to "Ruolan".

Later, Xu Ruolan felt that calling her that made her sound like a concubine, so she asked for the name to be changed.

It just so happened that Xu Ruolan was a few years older than Chen Xuan, so Chen Xuan simply called her Sister Xu, and occasionally called her Ruolan.

Of course, when calling her Sister Xu, there would be some teasing in it. Sometimes Chen Xuan would deliberately call her the wrong name and call her Sister Yu.

At the beginning, Xu Ruolan didn't know what "Yujie" meant. She thought it was the name of a new vixen that Chen Xuan had found. She also planned to unite many sisters to attack Chen Xuan and ask him if he had found another mistress outside.

Later, after Chen Xuan painstakingly explained that the term "yujie" meant a mature and charming woman, they let Chen Xuan go.

"Actually, I don't have anything I want to buy. I bought everything I needed to buy yesterday. I just wanted to go shopping, get some fresh air, and spend some money."

Xu Ruolan said with a smile.

For a woman with her personality, staying in the courtyard every day is a torture, and going out to spend money is the real pleasure.

After all, Chen Xuan had given her a thousand taels of silver yesterday. Why not spend it? Could he save it? She didn't have a brother, so she didn't need to be a "brother-supporting demon" and prepare a betrothal gift or a house. She didn't need to send money back home, and she didn't have a habit of saving money. She just spent it when she had it.

"Let's go to the jewelry store later and buy some jewelry to decorate myself." Xu Ruolan looked at the jade bracelet she was wearing. The quality of the jade was not very good and it was time to change it. She also changed the earrings, pendants and other things.

"Let's go to the blacksmith shop first."

Yang Ying'er said that it would take time for the blacksmith to forge a gun, so they could let the blacksmith do the forging first, and they could go around during this time and inquire about the specific situation of the Barbarian City.

As they walked, Chen Xuan, who was looking around on horseback, suddenly frowned.

The further he walked, the deeper his frown grew.

Liu Jinyu had been secretly observing Chen Xuan's reaction. Seeing him frown, he quickly asked, "Master Chen, is there something that makes you unhappy?"

Anyway, he couldn't understand why Chen Xuan was frowning. He was a martial artist and mastered earth-level martial arts, which made the prefect wary of him. He also had eight women surrounding him. He was a man with all the blessings and was definitely a winner in life.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Why don't you look happy?"

Xu Ruolan asked curiously. She also noticed that Chen Xuan was smiling at first, then frowned slightly, and then the frown lines gradually deepened, and finally turned into a deep frown, looking like he was worried about something.

"Don't you realize that there are too many beggars in this city?"

Chen Xuan said in a deep voice.

In fact, before entering the city, Chen Xuan discovered that there were many beggars begging outside the city.

At first, he didn't care much. After all, he had seen too many different types of beggars on his way from the capital.

Even in a prosperous place like the capital, there are beggars at the feet of the emperor.

However, after entering the city, Chen Xuan found a large group of beggars of different types sitting or lying on both sides of the road, all of them with disheveled hair and ragged clothes.

Both sides of the road were basically filled with beggars.

Some beggars who were so thin that they were just skin and bones were even lying there motionless, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.

"Husband, what you said really reminded me. When we came here yesterday, we didn't seem to see many beggars. How come there are so many more overnight?" Xu Ruolan said in surprise.

"Because we went to the market yesterday, which is the most crowded place, even if there were beggars, they would be driven away to other places. Today we took a different route, so the ugly side of the barbarian city was revealed."

Chen Xuan spoke calmly.

"These beggars are so pitiful. Should we give them some money so they can buy food?"

Yang Ying'er said with some reluctance.

"Don't do that, my dear sister. If you give them money, do you believe they will rush over and snatch your valuables?"

Xu Ruolan quickly shook her head. She used to be a brothel girl and had experienced the ups and downs of life at the bottom of society. She knew the character of the people at the bottom clearly.

In other words, she clearly knows what human nature is!

She continued slowly, "If you really feel sorry for them, spend some money and have someone cook a big pot of porridge for them to eat."
