“It’s no trouble at all, it’s just a small favor for me,” the host said with a smile. “But you’ll have to start from the bottom and climb to the top through your own abilities.”

"Okay! Thank you so much!"

“Um… excuse my bluntness,” Lu Ye began, “we are all from the countryside and probably don’t know much about the rules in big cities. If you could tell us what to be aware of in the capital, we would be very grateful.”

"Oh, the precautions within the capital? Just don't break the law or commit crimes," the host smiled kindly. "However, there is one thing you absolutely cannot do, and that is to criticize ministers."

"A minister who criticizes others?" Lu Ye asked.

“That’s right. You’ve just arrived in the capital, so you must have seen that huge palace, right?” the host said. “This country does have an emperor, but he’s still a child. The emperor’s most capable assistant is his minister, Ernest. Remember not to say anything about him outside, or you’ll be beheaded if someone reports you.”

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Is the emperor of the capital a child?

And the person he trusted most was a minister.

What does it mean to "hold the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords"?

No wonder the coachman said the capital was a rotten country.

Because the emperor doesn't really care about anything, the power is probably all in the hands of that minister, Ernest.

In this way, the true ruler of the country was not the young emperor, but Ernest.

"Alright, alright, it's so late now, you must all be tired, right?"

At this moment, Arya's mother clapped her hands. "I've already had the servants prepare a guest room. If you don't mind, please go and rest."

"Oh, then I'll gladly accept your offer!"

Looking at the beautiful married woman before him, Iyeas smiled broadly.

But the next second, Sha You pinched his waist hard, and his expression twisted.

Chapter 167 "Night Raid"

The next morning.

Lu Ye opened the window, and a cool breeze came in.

The sound of running water came from the cubicle in the house; Violet was washing up.

While she was washing her face and brushing her teeth, Lu Ye opened the control panel and brought up the shop.

The items inside should have been refreshed by now, and I still have 2000 points left.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye bought a universal potion from among them.

Points are precious, and there are no random tasks available, so there's no need to buy other items for now.

At that moment, the bathroom door opened.

Violet walked out with her waist-length hair flowing down her back.

When she saw Lu Ye, she shook the water glass in her hand, giving him a "praise me" look.

Aside from taking a shower, she now brushes her teeth and washes her face all by herself.

At first, Lu Ye would praise her, but after this happened more often, the silly girl actually started to think she was something special.

Incidentally, Violet still insists on her own opinion regarding bathing.

"More than half a year has passed, and he's still just a child."

Lu Ye smiled and rubbed her head, then wiped the water from the corner of her mouth with his finger.

He then began to comb her hair, tying her silky blonde hair into a high ponytail.

When I went downstairs, Ieyas and Sayo were having breakfast at Arya's invitation.

"Hey, Brother Lu Ye, good morning."

"Good morning."

"I didn't wake you because I was afraid of disturbing your sleep."

As Arya spoke, her gaze subtly shifted between Violet and Sayo.

"It's alright, thank you for your kindness," Lu Ye said. "I'm really sorry to have bothered you for the whole night. We'll leave after breakfast."

"Hey, aren't you staying a few more days?" Arya's eyes widened.

"Well, we still need to go to the army to check on the situation."

“But Dad said they’ll help you out there. Even if you go now, you probably won’t qualify.”

"Then what should we do?" Sha You asked.

“Well then, since you’ve just arrived in this city, why don’t you come with me for a stroll? You can also get to know the capital city better,” Arya said with a smile. “Once your father has taken care of your enlistment, you can go straight into the army.”

Iyeas and Shayou were taken aback for a moment, then smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

I never expected to meet such kind people as Miss Arya and her family so soon after arriving in the capital. It's wonderful that we can go out and have fun together.

"Brother Lu Ye, what about you?"

"Ah, I'll go with you. I'd also like to see the capital."

……

A few hours later.

Iyeas, panting, carried a pink box onto the carriage.

"I'm so tired, this must be the last one."

I don't think so.

Lu Ye's words ruthlessly shattered Iyeas's illusions.

Arya and Sayo were seen coming out of a high-end-looking store with great interest.

The guards beside them were carrying various bags, and judging from their expressions, they were also exhausted.

Arya said she wanted to go out and have fun, but that was only in relation to the girls.

Lu Ye felt that it was a pain for men to accompany women shopping.

He'd rather fight a gibbon all day than wander around in a dazzling array of shops.

"That guy, Shayou... he's really living a carefree life." Iyeas sighed.

“Speaking of which, the quantity is simply frightening,” Lu Ye said, looking at the mountain of goods piled up on the carriage.

"It's not just young ladies; most women are like that, aren't they?" The guard who was acting as the coachman spoke up at this moment. "Loving beauty is a woman's nature. As long as you have money, everyone will pursue beauty, right?"

“Speaking of being rich… Miss Arya is not only rich, but also very helpful!” Iyas said, his face showing an expression of admiration.

"Yes, Miss... She often helps homeless people or people from other places. She is a kind-hearted person."

For some reason, the guard silently turned his face away.

"By the way, did any of the people who were helped by Arya come back to thank her?" Lu Ye asked again.

“Ah, yes, of course!” the guard said.

"I see." Lu Ye didn't say anything more.

"By the way, what's that?"

Suddenly, Iyeas noticed three portraits on the wall across the street.

"Oh, you guys don't know yet, that's a 'night raid'."

"Night Raid?" Lu Ye became somewhat interested in the name.

"Ah, they are the assassin group that strikes fear into the hearts of the capital. Just like their name suggests, these assassins specialize in attacking at night, and their targets are usually high-ranking officials or the wealthy. However, they have nothing to do with ordinary people like you."

Lu Ye silently memorized the name.

The group didn't return to the mansion until the sun was almost setting.

After returning, Violet and Sayo changed into new clothes at Arya's urging.

Saya was wearing a sky-blue long dress, while Violet was wearing a white evening gown.

The clothes fit their figures perfectly, making them look even more beautiful.

“Wow, you two are both very beautiful,” Arya clapped her hands in praise.

Deeply moved by Arya's kindness, Sayo made up her mind.

"Once I become famous and make money, I will definitely repay you with a gift, Miss Arya!"

"Oh, then I'll look forward to that day."

"By the way, aren't Miss Arya's parents at home?" Lu Ye asked.

“Oh, Dad has things to do during the day, and Mom likes to go shopping, so they won’t be back until dinner time,” Arya said. “You must be tired after a day out. Go to your room and rest for a while.”

"it is good."
