Chen Qingyun was startled for a moment, then nodded his head: "Seems to be true, there is no need to go through all that trouble."

Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze. He still had a slight doubt on his face. "However, I still feel that the investigation today is a little strange."

It was rare for Chen Mu Mu to not retort. His eyes flickered as he replied, "Maybe you're right."

Today's investigation by the city guards did not seem to be about checking the movement of people, but looking for someone.

After all, who would look at someone's face and not even check their belongings?

But no matter what these city guards' intentions were, they weren't the ones they were after, so why did she care?

After leaving the city gates, they entered the imperial capital.

There were many gate buildings and the streets were neat and tidy. The precious items from all over the world were dazzling, making people feel extremely dizzy. As far as the eye could see, there were people playing with miscellaneous goods and setting up stalls. The sounds of shouting and trading rose and fell, and the carts of the horses and the red men and the green women were extremely lively and bustling.

Chen Qingyun was completely a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. This stall, that stall, that booth stopped to rest, that booth to eat something, he was extremely excited. He wanted to buy anything he saw. If it wasn't for the fact that Chen Mu Mu kept the money and she didn't allow him to spend it, he would have probably moved everything on the street away.

Chen Mu saw that Chen Qingyun's body was covered with items and the corners of his mouth twitched, he saw that had stopped in front of a stall that was smithing swords and blades, with a glance, he knew that one of the better quality blades was in front of him. Chen Mu's face darkened, he walked over and grabbed his ear, and pulled him back.

"Let me tell you, I only have fifty silver taels on me. That saber should at least cost several dozen silver taels. You have to restrain your thoughts even if you want to!"

Chen Qingyun looked at her bitterly: I'm not buying, I'm just looking.

"I don't believe you." Chen Mu Mu pulled the backpack tighter. "Also, we've just arrived at the capital, so we still have things to do. Right now, we have to find a place to rest for the night." Even though the capital is bustling, there's still a long way to go. If we want to go, we can always find time to go around there. "

Hearing Chen Mu Mu Mu's words, Chen Qingyun reluctantly retracted her gaze and followed her to find an inn.

Along the way, he said as if he was taking an oath, "One day, I will definitely buy that blade."

Chen Mu couldn't stand him being so kind. He cast him a glance before coldly commenting, "Even if you can afford to buy a saber, do you know how to use it? With your little body, can you use it? "

Such a large blade, not to say whether it could be used. Just lifting it required a lot of strength, right?

With that in mind, his gaze swept across Chen Qingyun's body and shook his head: "You can't."

Too thin, like a monkey.

In the past, she didn't know that eating and drinking would cause malnutrition, but later on when Chen Qingyun followed her to Xingyu Village, there would definitely be three warm meals a day. Furthermore, there was meat almost daily.

Of course, this also had something to do with how active he was.

Forget about training with Lu Jinfeng and Ning Yuan, at other times, he would just run errands for her. He was so busy that he wouldn't even touch the floor, naturally he would digest everything, he didn't have much fat on him.

Skinny was thin, but it had nothing to do with being strong or strong.

Chen Mu Mu Mu could even exaggeratedly say that a gust of wind could blow Chen Qingyun away.

When the young man heard Chen Mu Mu Mu's evaluation, he noticed the contempt in her eyes. He bellowed hatefully, "There will be a day when I will be able to easily wield a fifty jin blade. When that happens, I'll make you look at me in a new light!"

"Let's wait for you to lift that heavy knife first. Who doesn't know how to boast?" Chen Mu paid no heed to his stomping and walked towards the inn in front of him.

Chen Qingyun's eyes widened as he carried his big and small bag and followed along.

This wasn't something that Chen Mu Mu wanted to buy, not to mention that Chen Mu was a woman, so it was impossible for him to pass the money to her. Thus, he could only bear with it silently.

"The Pleiadian Inn?" Chen Mu Mu Mu stopped and sized up the plaque engraved on the door with a golden light before chuckling, "Is there any happiness here every day?" "Interesting."

This inn was not big and was not very eye-catching. However, after they entered, they found it unexpectedly clean. The light made them feel like they were suddenly enlightened and their mood improved a lot.

It was probably because of this reason that the inn was filled with guests and was bustling with noise and excitement.

"Are the guests staying in the restaurant?" The waiter came up and asked while smiling at Chen Qingyun who was carrying a big and small bag.

"Two rooms." Chen Mu Mu nodded as he walked towards the counter. "The business of your inn is extremely good, truly enviable."

"Everyone says that our inn is blessed, and that if we stay long enough, people will get infected by all sorts of happiness, and good things will come one after another." The waiter said with a smile. He looked at Chen Mu Mu and Chen Qingyun with a curious gaze and a glint flashed in his eyes, "From the looks of your accents and the way you're dressed, you aren't a local, right?"

"Violet Dragon City is the capital of our country. Even if they are not natives, many outsiders would come in every day." Chen Mu looked at him half-jokingly. "What? Look at how we're not from here, do you want to give us a good beating?"

The waiter shook his head. "Miss, you misunderstand. I was only casually asking, but half of the people in the Violet Dragon City are not locals. "When we open the doors of the Xilai Inn to do business, we pay attention to the word 'good faith'. We definitely won't look down on guests because of their place of residence."

"That's good." "I saw your strange expression just now and was so scared that I tightly clutched my purse, afraid that I would be ruthlessly ripped off. You have to know that I'm a weak girl, earning money is not easy."

The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched as he said, "Don't worry miss, the price of our shop is absolutely fair. The waiter's mouth twitched as he said," Don't worry, the price of our shop is absolutely fair.

Chen Mu Mu turned to look at Chen Qingyun, only to see him wearing a big and small bag, some things were not stored, and directly hung on his shoulder. This was not a rare sight. What was strange was that he always hung his bow, his arrows, his big pot, his axes and the like on his body. He didn't seem like a normal person.

He shook his head and felt a headache coming on. "There's something wrong with his head. Just ignore it."

Chen Qingyun's hands and feet were too quick, some things he wanted to buy, she did not have time to stop him, he had already taken them.

She didn't say anything about the useful ones, but did she need to buy a big pot with bows and arrows?

The waiter had sharp eyes. Noticing Chen Mu Mu's expression, he chuckled and decided not to bring up the matter anymore.

"Young lady and young master, do you want an intermediate or lower room?"

"What about the room money?" Chen Mu Mu asked.

Outsiders were usually blackmailed in front of locals, so it was impossible for them to not ask clearly. It had to be known that she didn't have much money on her right now.

"The best room costs five hundred copper coins for one night, the middle room costs three hundred copper coins for one night, and the lower room costs two hundred copper coins for one night." The waiter replied.

The difference in price was too great. Basically, the upper, middle, and lower rooms were twice as expensive.

Chen Mu Mu Mu pondered for a while, "Then let's have two of the best rooms, we'll stay for three days."

If he had known that the price of housing in the capital was so expensive, it would be much better than what he had expected to see today. However, she was not at ease living in a low-priced house. She hadn't had a good rest for the past few days, so she didn't want to stay in a room with broken windows that let out the wind.

The waiter nodded, he looked at Chen Mu Mu Mu and Chen Qingyun with a strange gaze, then went to the counter to register with the owner.

However, after a while, he took out two keys.

"Please follow me."

It was one thing to have so many people eating at the Xilai Inn, to manage it according to its rules. It was also another for the quality and service provided by the Inn.

The bed was neatly made, and the window was ventilated well. Chen Mu put down his bag, and by the window, he could vaguely see the snow-white pear blossoms in the early spring in the backyard.

This money was worth it.

After ordering two more dishes, Chen Mu ordered the waiter to deliver them to his room. Lying on the bed, he felt exhausted.

In the past, he had not thought of going to the capital to seek development. He had even talked about his plan for a long time. However, when he arrived at the capital, he found that there was too much unhappiness under pressure.

In the Apricot Rain Village, although everything was difficult, at least the hearts of the people were united and their lives weren't too bad. Who would have thought that after coming to the capital, things would turn out like this?

He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I am such a fool. It has already become so stiff, yet I still recall that slight warmth."

However, that warmth, no matter how subtle, was also warmth.

It was a warmth that was hard to find in her life.

It was difficult for her to refuse, so she had no choice but to stay.

"But so what if I care?" "It's just a joke."

Madam Li's words were so unpleasant to hear, just thinking about it caused her heart to clench.

If it wasn't for the situation that happened this morning, she would have treated Madam Li as her own mother.

Who would have thought that … In her eyes, she was just an inverted little slut, a jinx, and she had even divorced Lu Jinfeng's mother.

"Whatever you're thinking about is over. Since you've already reached the capital, you should be thinking about what to do next."

After lying on the bed for a while, he was awoken by the sound of the waiter knocking on the door.

When he opened the door, he found that the dishes had already been prepared and brought up.

"Thank you very much."

When he went out in the morning, he barely had anything to eat. As he walked and stopped to eat, he realized he was starving after smelling the fragrance of the food.

After eating until he was full, his entire body became a bit tired. Chen Mu thought for a while, then knocked on Chen Qingyun's door.

"Little sister?" Chen Qingyun looked at her suspiciously, "You're looking for me for something?"

"There must be. Could it be that he's sleeping in his room in the middle of the day?" Chen Mu said.

Chen Qingyun's face twitched, and he pulled open the door: "Then what plans do you have?"

As he was eating, the food on the table had not yet been finished. He opened the door and went back to eating.

Chen Mu Mu glanced at the trash that he bought today. He placed his hands on his forehead as he asked, "I want to go for a walk. Are you coming with me?"

"Let's go." Chen Ergou was originally a shopping maniac, so when he heard her words, he stopped eating, staring at Chen Mu passionately.

Chen Mu Mu Mu glanced at the trash on the table again and took out a silver ingot from his pocket.

"One tael of silver. I don't care what you spend on this month's living expenses, but once you've used up all of it, it's gone."
