Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1546: Xiongnu renamed Mobei City

Just as he was wondering what this thing was, he felt various lights and smoke bursting out in front of him.

The next moment, he felt something enter his body and then lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this, the accompanying guards shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"What are you shouting for? You're disrupting morale! You deserve to die!"

Upon seeing his emperor killed, the head guard immediately stopped his soldiers.

But this soldier's voice was so loud that the news spread like wildfire, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the news of His Majesty's death in battle reached the ears of all the Xiongnu soldiers.

As a result, many Xiongnu soldiers laid down their weapons, covered themselves with iron shields, and kept uttering words of surrender.

The ministers who had been watching the battle from the city walls had never taken their eyes off Madha. Now that they saw Madha dead, they all fled back to their homes.

They then jumped onto the carriages that had been prepared and set off towards the North Gate.

There's no other reason than that this was their escape route, which they had prepared long ago.

Now that even His Majesty is dead, what reason do they have to continue?

It was three days later when Tang Yun led his men into the Xiongnu capital.

As those people continued to surrender and the troops that occasionally tried to stop them were eliminated, the soldiers of the Song Kingdom were exhausted.

Three days later, Tang Yun and Chu Chen stood on the city wall of the palace, looking down at the vast city.

"Mr. Chu, we owe you a great debt this time. Otherwise, at least half of us would have been lost."

"Hehe, the gratifying result is that those fallen soldiers should be given sufficient compensation."

"Mr. Chu, rest assured, the State of Song will not forget these people. They have made great contributions to the State of Song, and at the very least, their families should be guaranteed a comfortable life."

Chu Chen nodded and smiled after listening. These small things might seem insignificant to someone of Tang Yun's stature, but they were a disaster for the families of every soldier who sacrificed their lives for their country.

If Dong Shilan fails to perform his duties properly and demoralizes the soldiers, then the Song Dynasty will not be far from its demise.

"Let's see what you do next."

After saying that, Chu Chen stood up: "At this moment, almost half of the officials in the capital have left. You'll be busy with the governance going forward. I'll head back now; there's nothing for me to do here anyway."

Seeing that Chu Chen was about to leave, Tang Yun immediately came to greet him.

"Sir, the Xiongnu have now submitted to our Great Song Dynasty. Please bestow a name upon them."

"This place is north of the Song Dynasty, so how about calling it the Northern Desert?"

"Alright... then let's call it Mobei, and from now on the Xiongnu will be called Mobei City."

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Tang Yun stopped him the next moment: "Mr. Chu, His Majesty has something to tell you."

"Hmm?" Chu Chen turned his head in confusion.

At this moment, Dong Shilan had something to say to him. What did that mean?

"Please wait three days, Mr. Chu. Once I have settled things in Mobei, I can sit down and patiently explain to you."

Chu Chen neither answered nor pressed for an answer, but simply nodded and left.

The sudden turn of events left Chu Chen somewhat bewildered.

Could it be that Dong Shilan's purpose in sending her to the Xiongnu was not merely to have her lead these people in battle?

However, seeing Tang Yun busy, Chu Chen did not press the matter, but instead turned around and returned to his temporary residence.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, which he handed to Gousheng: "Gousheng, send someone you can completely trust back immediately and give this letter to Panghu."

"Brother Chen, should I go?"

“You won’t do it. Here’s what you do: go to the market here and buy a guard. Then send one of your men to deliver a message. The new guard will rush in without being noticed.”

Seeing how nervous Chu Chen was, Gou Shengzi also became serious.

So he took the letter and left Chu Chen's residence, then put his arm around one of his underlings' shoulders and said, "Come on, let's go out for a bit."

After saying that, he led the man directly onto the main street.

However, as soon as Gou Shengzi stepped onto the street, he was surprised to find that two soldiers had also changed into their usual clothes and were following behind them.

So they immediately pulled the man into the brothel.

The two played until nightfall before returning.

When Gou Shengzi returned, neither of them had changed in their attire or physique. The guards at the door exchanged a glance.

As for their appearance, since Chu Chen required them to wear masks when they went out, no one knew what they looked like.

After returning to Chu Chen's residence, Gou Shengzi rushed in anxiously and said, "Brother Chen, just as you predicted, we were followed today, and by soldiers no less?"

Chu Chen frowned deeply after hearing this, thinking to himself that Dong Shilan seemed to have some ill intentions.

But why?

She's someone who's been deep inside, so why is she still wary of everything about herself?

Without time to think, Chu Chen had to make arrangements, otherwise he would be in danger.

It seems that the human heart is indeed something that cannot be understood.

So he said to Gou Shengzi, "Ignore them. Just do what you need to do these next few days. We'll see the results in three days."

"The messengers must have been arranged all along."

"Everything is arranged. I had the madam buy me a man of similar build, dressed him up, attached a gun to him, and brought him back."

“Our brothers should have already left the Xiongnu capital by now.”

"Okay, I trust you to handle things. Let's go, eat and drink, and then go to sleep."

After saying that, Chu Chen dismissed the lackey Shengzi, turned around and went back to his room, throwing himself into Jin Suo and Yin Suo's arms.

Jin Suo and Yin Suo were quite surprised. The Grand Preceptor was not usually so generous and proactive. Could it be that he was going to start doing serious business today?

That's good. The task His Majesty has given us is to serve him well and then tell General Tang everything about him.

I never expected that the Grand Preceptor would hardly say a word all this time, except for eating and drinking.

I'm so excited today, I'll probably say a bit more.

"Your Excellency, please have mercy!"

"Hahaha, I'd like to see what makes you different from ordinary girls."

Half an hour later, Chu Chen walked out of the room looking refreshed. He muttered something like, "All women are the same," and then fell silent.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

After Tang Yun led his army and almost completely plundered all the warehouses and wealthy households in the capital, he finally finished his work.

So he personally went to Chu Chen's residence: "Mr. Chu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting due to my busy schedule!"

Chu Chen smiled at him, gesturing for him to sit down and talk, but he was wearing a suit of chainmail.
