When Wang Yue came out of the weapon shop again, his large backpack was gone, and his smaller one was now full of silver. He wouldn't have to worry about money while he was in the capital.
That took care of one of his immediate problems, and made Wang Yue think that Princess was actually a pretty good friend to have.
