It took Li Chang'an a while to process the information.
This was a habit he had in his past life: after finishing a conversation with someone, he would sit quietly for a while and repeatedly review everything that had happened that day.
It seems I brought out too much wine, so it's normal to be suspected.
The rice wine awarded was served in earthenware jars, each containing about two jin (approximately 1 kg).
They drank six jin (3 catties) today, which is three cans.
How could a normal person's sleeve possibly have that much space?
Not to mention, how could anyone not notice if three jars of wine were hidden in one's sleeve?
However, Li Chang'an didn't care. With the resurrection coin in hand and the Gatling gun for protection, he could manage as long as it wasn't a cultivation world.
He wasn't flustered at all.
The main thing is that there are resurrection coins. If all else fails, you can just start over. It's safer to be resurrected next time.
He simply changed from Li Chang'an to Li Changshou.
Seeing that her master remained silent, Su Xiao didn't dare to utter a sound either.
She was always the inconspicuous one, but she was also the one whom Li Chang'an took the best care of.
"Knock knock knock"
"Come in."
Upon hearing Li Chang'an's voice, the captain pushed open the door and went inside, followed by his men who brought out a table of fine wine and food.
"These are the signature dishes of Tongfu Inn. I have ordered some, and I would appreciate it if you would like to try them, sir." The captain bowed his head and handed over two gold ingots with both hands.
He dared not spend the money.
I'm afraid I might have the life to enjoy the money, but not the life to repay it.
Li Chang'an chuckled to himself. It seemed that Eunuch Wang's identity was extraordinary. No wonder he was so cunning; he had almost been fooled by him.
Li Chang'an looked at the dishes on the table, picked up a piece of pork with his chopsticks, and tasted it.
The taste was alright; it didn't have the porky smell I expected.
It seems that this world can still satisfy one's cravings.
He doesn't have many hobbies; they are only eating, drinking, and having fun.
"Alright, keep the gold. Consider it a reward for the brothers' hard work." Li Chang'an hugged Su Xiao and tore off a chicken leg for her.
This apprentice is good in every way, except that he is too obedient.
She would rather go hungry than eat a single bite if I didn't ask her to sit down at the table to eat.
Every time, Li Chang'an would earnestly persuade her not to worry, that he would not abandon her, and that no matter what happened, he would always be her master.
It's a little better now; she dares to sit down and eat with them. Otherwise, she would have to wait for Li Chang'an to finish eating before she dared to eat any leftovers.
I never dare to eat too much. Even though I'm supposed to eat a full bowl of rice, I only dare to eat half a bowl, for fear of being criticized for eating too much.
Sigh, I still have to teach him slowly.
After hearing Li Chang'an finish speaking, the captain accepted the gold ingot with relief: "I thank you on behalf of my brothers, sir. Please eat first, sir. If you need anything, just let me know. I'll take my leave now."
After leaving the room, he took out a gold ingot and distributed it to his men: "Tomorrow, take it and exchange it for silver. Everyone can get a share."
"Remember, this is a gift from the lord inside. Everyone, keep your eyes wide open and serve them well, otherwise, if you offend any of the lords, you might lose your heads, not just your money."
The men were all beaming with joy, patting their chests and promising to treat the man inside like their own parents.
There was a table full of food; how could the two masters and their apprentices possibly finish it all?
Li Chang'an first held Su Xiao in his arms and fed her until she was full before slowly enjoying himself.
There was no other way; otherwise, his own apprentice wouldn't dare to eat, so he had to supervise her to make sure she ate her fill.
Su Xiao sat in Li Chang'an's lap, looking very comfortable.
She didn't know what her father looked like, but she felt that the way Li Chang'an cared for her was very much like the father in her dreams.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Li Chang'an realized that it was already dark, and he didn't know if Xiong Er and the others had arrived yet.
Thinking of this, he stood up and walked out.
The two soldiers at the door saluted him: "Sir, what are your orders?"
Li Chang'an stood on the city tower and looked down, taking advantage of the moonlight.
The city gates were closed, and the official road was deserted, without a single pedestrian. He asked, "Where do those refugees who didn't enter the city usually live?"
"Reporting to you, sir, those refugees usually live in the nearby City God Temple. Should I call them over?"
"No need, just take me to them. I have a few fellow villagers among them," Li Chang'an waved his hand and said.
"Yes, sir!"
One person walked ahead to lead the way, while another jogged to the foot of the city wall to call for help.
When Li Chang'an reached the city gate, a small group of men were already standing on the official road. The captain, clad in armor and holding a sword, bowed to him.
The soldiers behind him wore no armor, only gray uniforms, and carried long spears. They looked like a group of security guards, dragging their feet along.
The captain led the way, followed by ten soldiers and several burly bodyguards.
The group, carrying torches, walked into the vicinity of the City God Temple.
Groups of refugees looked at them with awe, leaving large empty spaces wherever they went.
They were not entitled to stay inside the City God Temple, so they could only lie on the open ground outside, with the villagers forming a circle and taking turns to rest.
They were afraid that what they brought would be stolen.
When Li Chang'an found Xiong Er and the others, they were lying on the outermost edge with bruises and swelling around their eyes, each with their heads down, covering their faces and crying.
There were several other refugees nearby, comforting them.
"Second brother, let's give up. They're city people; we can't beat them."
"That's right, second brother. The stuff is gone, but as long as you're alive, that's all that matters. Take my advice and go back as soon as it's light tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Xiong Er stubbornly replied, "No, I'll wait for my son-in-law to come. He will help us seek justice."
