Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 213 Dogs look down on people

Upon hearing this, Su Yue smiled slightly, seemingly unafraid, and instead said with great interest, "If that's the case, then why wait until tomorrow?"

"Why don't we go into town today? I'd really like to meet that wicked woman you mentioned; it'll surely be quite interesting."

Su Yue turned her head slightly, her gaze falling on Dali, and said gently, "Dali, when we get to the Gu residence, if anyone dares to cause trouble, don't hold back!"

Dali nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, I know! If anyone dares to bully... no, no, Young Master, then Dali will definitely not let him off the hook, and will definitely smash his dog head in!"

As soon as she spoke, Dali suddenly realized that she had used the wrong address. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes darting around, not daring to meet Su Yue's gaze, for fear that Su Yue would be angry with her.

Su Yue didn't blame Dali at all. Instead, she laughed and chimed in, "Yes, yes, we should smash those people's heads in!"

Hearing Su Yue say that, Dali finally felt relieved and a simple smile appeared on his face.

Gu Yuan, standing to the side, felt a sense of helplessness as he watched the scene unfold.

Although Dali looks no different from an ordinary person, he actually seems to be a little slow-witted and always seems to be missing a screw.

No matter what others say to her, she basically ignores them unless the other party can beat her in a fight.

Strangely enough, Dali only listened to Su Yue.

Seeing Dali's expression, Su Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Before long, the mule cart carrying the three of them slowly came to a stop outside the capital city.

Looking at the towering city walls and the wide, five-gate city gate before her, Su Yue opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow~ This capital city truly lives up to its reputation!"

Look at this magnificent city gate! It has a full five gates! The towns I've passed through before only had three gates at most.

After they slowly crossed the moat in their handcart, they got off.

The main reason for choosing to get off here is to undergo a routine check.

After all, compared to those luxurious horse-drawn carriages, their carts were still too rudimentary.

Su Yue gracefully walked up to a soldier, and with a light flick of her right hand, her folding fan instantly unfolded with a "whoosh."

She tilted her head slightly, looking down at the soldier who was carefully examining the jade pendant, her face revealing undisguised disdain.

"What? Could this jade pendant be fake?" Su Yue's lips parted slightly, her tone clearly carrying a hint of displeasure.

The crisp yet slightly chilly sound echoed in the air, inspiring awe in all who heard it.

Upon hearing this, the soldier trembled violently and quickly said with a forced smile, "No...no...Young Marquis, please calm down. I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."

As he spoke, he carefully handed the jade pendant back to Su Yue.

However, Su Yue only glanced at it indifferently and did not reach out to take it.

Instead, Gu Yuan stepped forward, took the jade pendant from the soldier, and gently hung it around Su Yue's waist.

The whole process was as natural and smooth as flowing water.

"Hmph! Even if you're lucky today, I won't stoop to your level for now."

"But remember, don't look at people with those dog eyes again!" With that, Su Yue flicked her wrist, closed her folding fan, and strode confidently into the city.

A series of responses came from the soldiers behind him: "Yes, yes, the young lord's reprimand is absolutely correct."

Only after watching Su Yue and the others completely disappear inside the city gate did the soldier finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

He then turned back to the city gate, still somewhat shaken, to continue his guard duty.

Su Yue looked at the unfamiliar yet vibrant capital city with great joy, secretly marveling that her trip had not been in vain.

Suppressing her excitement, she lowered her voice and whispered to Gu Yuan, who was a full half a head taller than her, "Hehe, how was it? Did I act well just now?" She then winked mischievously.

Gu Yuan coughed lightly twice to cover up his barely suppressed laughter, and a faint smile appeared on his face beneath the veil.

He responded in a similarly low voice, "Yes, not bad, keep it up."

After receiving a positive reply, Su Yue nodded contentedly, then plopped back down on the swaying cart.

At this moment, Dali was leading the mule at a leisurely pace, while Gu Yuan quietly followed beside him.

Su Yue curiously raised her head and began to carefully examine her surroundings.

They were walking through the streets of the western part of the city, with shops lining both sides of the street and all sorts of signs.

Gu Yuan pointed to the buildings and introduced them to Su Yue: "This is the market street in the west of the city. You see, there are mostly teahouses, taverns, pawnshops and various handicraft workshops on both sides of the road."

Moreover, most of the people doing business here are ordinary people. Let's go check out the market in the east of the city in a few days; that's where the real bustling and lively atmosphere is!

While listening to Gu Yuan's explanation, Su Yue kept her eyes glued to the scenery on both sides of the street.

Suddenly, she noticed that there were many vendors selling flowers and birds in the empty space on the street.

Colorful flowers vie for attention, and chirping birds sing merrily—what a vibrant and lively scene!

Looking further into the distance, one can see a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going on the street.

Some people were carrying loads on their shoulders and walking hurriedly, while others were driving oxcarts slowly to transport goods. There was even a group of people performing a wonderful variety show on the street.

Upon seeing this, Su Yue, who was originally sitting on the cart, jumped down excitedly and ran towards the crowded area to get a closer look.

Looking at the lively scene before her, Su Yue couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

The prosperity of this capital city far surpassed that of the Great An Kingdom, opening her eyes to a whole new world.

Before they knew it, time had flown by. When they realized they needed to hurry to the inner city, they found that the city gates were already closed.

Looking at the tightly closed inner city gate, the three of them exchanged glances. Helpless, they had no choice but to find an inn in the outer city to rest for the night and return to the Guifu after dawn the next day.

Meanwhile, in the Gu family mansion in the inner city, Lord Gu and his father, Lord Gu, were overjoyed to receive a message that their long-lost children and grandchildren had arrived in the capital. They waited anxiously in the mansion early in the morning.
