After settling the girls in the courtyard, Chen Xuan went out to buy suitable clothes for them. He also sold all the family property and took the cash away.
Most of the pawnshops in Kyoto are run by the Chen family, and almost all the shop owners know Chen Xuan.
When they heard that Chen Xuan had exchanged his house for seven criminal women, they didn't say much. They just sighed for a while and then quickly exchanged Chen Xuan's property at the market price.
In addition to the three houses and a shop handed over to the Chen family.
Chen Xuan also has two remote courtyards and a pile of gold and silver jewelry, which are all legacies left by his parents who went to the battlefield.
The total amount sold was six thousand taels of silver.
In order to make it easier to carry, Chen Xuan exchanged all of it for broken gold, ten taels of silver for one tael of gold, and after all the exchanges he still had six hundred taels of gold.
It felt heavy in his hand, making him feel like a nouveau riche.
However, Chen Xuan knew very well that this money would have to be spent sooner or later.
The frontier areas are not like other countries, where there are wars everywhere and people are living in poverty. It is difficult to even live a good life, let alone have children.
In addition, Chen Tian will definitely send people to kill him along the way.
He even told the Tang Emperor about Li Xiuning's identity and location.
This journey is bound to be full of dangers!
Chen Xuan looked at the blacksmith shop on the street, thought for a moment, and walked over quickly.
...
Arriving at the blacksmith's shop, he looked around at the iron rack.
I found that there were only some commonly seen iron knives, iron swords, and iron spears, and no other particularly outstanding weapons, which were too makeshift for self-defense.
Dagan was founded on military power, martial arts were prevalent, and weapons were not prohibited!
Chen Xuan's body meridians are blocked and he is not suitable for martial arts training. He can only choose some weapons for self-defense.
"Boss, do you have any weapons made of fine iron?"
Chen Xuan looked towards the innermost part of the shop, where a middle-aged man was working hard at forging iron.
The man uttered "Huh", raised his head, and said hesitantly: "Although my country of Dagan does not ban weapons, it has strict control over fine iron, especially the use of fine iron to forge weapons that are strong enough to injure warriors. What do you want to do?"
Chen Xuan took out his badge and said, "I am Chen Xuan from the Chen family. I want to buy a few weapons made of fine iron for self-defense. Money is not a problem."
The three major families have the privilege to circumvent the rules, which is tacitly acknowledged by the emperor.
This was also the reason why Chen Xuan took out his badge to dispel the middle-aged man's doubts.
The middle-aged man glanced at the badge, his face becoming more and more puzzled. "Are you Chen Xuan, the bastard son of the Chen family who was banished to the border? The young master who spent all his wealth in exchange for seven sinful girls?"
Chen Xuan's pupils shrank slightly.
How come such a trivial matter of mine has spread here?
The middle-aged man seemed to see through Chen Xuan's thoughts, scratched his head, and explained:
"Hey, Mr. Chen, don't blame me for being talkative. It's just that someone has been talking about this matter since this morning, and now everyone in Kyoto knows about it."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man lowered his voice, looked around cautiously, and continued:
"Mr. Chen, I heard that a few months ago, Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning of the Tang Dynasty and the senior sister of the Snow Sword Sect, An Ruxue, were also among those criminal women? Is that true or not?"
Chen Xuan's face darkened.
The development of things was very different from what he expected.
I didn't expect that Chen Tian couldn't hold back and wanted to spread this matter everywhere so quickly.
Do you want to use this method to force yourself to hand over the person?
Too impatient and without any brains.
Chen Xuan secretly planned to buy things and leave the city as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in big trouble once the news was confirmed by the Tang Dynasty spies.
At present, my relationship with Li Xiuning has not improved.
Once caught, even if he has the fifth-level martial arts cultivation, he cannot avoid being beheaded.
Of course, if he could improve his favorability and directly call the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty "Father-in-law", with Li Xiuning's protection, the other party would not say anything.
"Are you going to sell this weapon or not?"
Chen Xuan took out a few pieces of gold from his pocket and slapped them on the table.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened when he saw this and he nodded quickly.
“Sell! Sell!”
...
In total, he spent two taels of gold to buy fifteen steel knives made of fine iron.
He spent another ten taels of gold to buy the treasure of the blacksmith shop - a spear made of meteorite iron.
At first the boss was reluctant.
But when Chen Xuan took out the ten taels of gold, the other party's attitude changed immediately. He quickly agreed, as if he had met his real father.
Through indirect questioning, Chen Xuan also learned that the middle-aged man had a batch of bows and crossbows secretly donated to several major families.
The crossbow is a good thing.
The Dagan Dynasty does not ban weapons, but strictly prohibits the private sale of crossbows!
Under the martial artist, the bow and crossbow is king!
Hitting both with one arrow is no problem.
Chen Xuan talked to the middle-aged man for a long time and finally spent eight taels of gold to buy two pieces.
Fifteen steel knives, a meteorite iron spear, and two bows and crossbows cost a total of twenty taels of gold, which was a great bargain considering Chen Xuan's current situation.
He ordered the middle-aged man to deliver all the weapons to a remote yard.
Only then did Chen Xuan start to buy other supplies.
...
After buying daily necessities, Chen Xuan's gaze turned to the majestic tall gatehouse not far away.
On the plaque in front of the door were four large and neat characters engraved in gold lacquer - Chang'an Escort Agency!
The road to the frontier is full of dangers.
Now that I have sufficient funds, recruiting an escort agency to protect me would be a good idea.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan strode towards the Chang'an Escort Agency.
Before he even entered the door, he was stopped by a heroic girl holding a red tasseled spear.
"The Chang'an Escort Agency is a restricted area. No outsiders are allowed to enter!" "I'm here to ask for an escort."
Chen Xuan said calmly.
