Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1539: 1 Head 52 Silver

As if given a command at the same time, the people at the stalls pulled out iron shields and longswords from under the tables and rushed towards the entrance of the arsenal.

He was shouting things like "for the Xiongnu."

"That's incredibly simple and brutal. They attacked without a word, and they're very well-trained."

Meanwhile, from the top of the arsenal gate, Fat Tiger and his friends also saw the scene below.

He immediately lifted a red cloth in front of him.

A machine gun was revealed.

On either side of Fat Tiger and behind him, Chu Chen's guards also directly lifted the red cloth in front of them.

Four machine guns and over a hundred submachine guns were ready and waiting for Chu Chen's orders.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chu Chen said to the guard, "See those guys behind them? They're definitely the leaders. Kill one, and I'll give you another five taels. Shoot."

There were over a thousand people below, and they charged toward the arsenal in what looked like a grand scene.

However, Chu Chen wasn't very interested. To him, he didn't even have the desire to fire a shot; it was just a minor incident.

Upon hearing that killing one would earn an extra five taels of silver, the guards, not waiting for Chu Chen to fire the first shot, unleashed a magazine of bullets at the men directing them from behind.

As the guards fired their guns, Fat Tiger immediately shouted at the people on the courtyard wall, "Leave no one alive, wipe them all out!"

For a moment, it seemed as if the entire arsenal's walls were launching an attack on their own.

They originally thought that having iron shields would be enough to defend against Chu Chen and his group's attacks.

Little did they expect that their shields were so weak. The machine gun bullets left holes in their shields and then pierced through their bodies.

Before the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is over, those who charged ahead with shields were all lying in pools of blood.

Once the shield fell, the submachine guns behind it became like live targets, reaping one life after another.

Even more dangerously, two voices also rang out behind them.

The adults who organized the attack were now lying motionless on the ground.

The spies finally panicked. They regretted their overconfidence in coming to attack.

So, after the attack, everyone scattered and fled, but it was a large open space, and there was nowhere to hide.

When Lu Jixing and his soldiers arrived at this place, all they found were corpses scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the scene before him, Lu Jixing swallowed hard.

Thinking to himself that it was fortunate Chu Chen was from the Song Kingdom, he didn't want to imagine the consequences if he were from another country.

At this moment, Chu Chen, accompanied by his guards, slowly walked towards Lu Jixing: "Lord City Lord..."

"Mr. Chu, these... haven't even lasted the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, have they?"

How could Lu Jixing not be shocked? He was also from a military family and had gone through countless battles to finally sit in the position of city lord.

There are at least a thousand people here, and it took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Even a battle involving tens of thousands of people wouldn't have been this fast.

Looking at the dark weapon in Chu Chen's hand, he thought to himself that it was only right that this young man was favored by His Majesty.

Even if he had enough men, taking over the Song kingdom would not be a problem at all.

Looking at Lu Jixing's shocked expression, he thought to himself that he hadn't even used his hand grenades yet. Once he went back and tinkered with them, he could make a grenade launcher, which would be a demonic force for infantry.

"Lord City Lord, as you know, this arsenal was established by order of His Majesty to produce weapons capable of overwhelming the world. This is merely a small test."

"Mr. Chu, you are truly a blessing to the State of Song."

"I have heard about what happened to the Mei family. They brought it upon themselves. I was confused when I accepted the marriage agreement with the Mei family. My daughter said that you saved her from her suffering. From now on, my daughter will be in Mr. Chu's care."

Looking at his father-in-law, Chu Chen could only think of one word: smart.

Speaking of his position, he said he was the Imperial Advisor, which was higher than Lu Jixing's.

He could certainly have guessed what was going on between Lu Yiping and himself.

Therefore, his apt statement that he would entrust the care of his daughter to him, rather than suggesting marriage, implyed that he felt neither his position nor his abilities qualified him to suggest that Chu Chen marry his daughter as his legal wife.

Moreover, who knows what kind of relationship Chu Chen has with His Majesty? Is it a genuine sister-brother relationship, or a sister-brother relationship with whom he has a deep connection?

After all, although His Majesty is in his early thirties, he looks like a woman in her twenties, and even more charming than a woman in her twenties.

If Chu Chen truly has that kind of relationship with His Majesty, what does my daughter amount to? It would be good enough if she could even catch Chu Chen's eye.

"Uncle Lu, you flatter me. The Mei family has offended me, so the outcome was already predetermined."

"Yiping is a good girl. I will never let her down in this life. Please rest assured, Uncle."

That address of "uncle" effectively shattered Lu Jixing's hopes of becoming Chu Chen's true father-in-law.

However, it's all good. If Yiping handles her relationship with His Majesty well, it won't be a bad thing for the Lu family.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that."

"These are Xiongnu spies. Their purpose in attacking the arsenal is to destroy it."

"Destroying the arsenal can be said to have destroyed the foundation of the Song Dynasty's eternal prosperity. Therefore, those who have made meritorious contributions in resisting foreign enemies will surely be rewarded."

"Chu Chen, for each kill, Hancheng can contribute three taels to reward the soldiers who have distinguished themselves in battle. What do you think?"

Chu Chen naturally had no objection. Three taels for one person plus one tael for Fatty Tiger would amount to four taels of silver. He would also be generous and add one tael, making it five taels of silver per person. This would be a great encouragement to those who were killing enemies.

"Uncle Lu, you can tell me everything."

After saying that, Chu Chen waved to Fatty Tiger, who ran over excitedly: "Fat Tiger greets Lord City Lord."

"No need for formalities, sir. I just discussed it with Mr. Chu. The City Lord's Mansion is willing to offer a reward of three taels of silver per head for those who have rendered meritorious service in killing the enemy. Mr. Chu has also agreed to contribute one tael of silver personally. You can go and count the number of words, and then come to the City Lord's Mansion to collect the reward."

Fat Tiger didn't jump up with joy after hearing that.

The city lord's mansion pays three taels, Brother Chen pays one tael, and his own factory pays one tael, totaling five taels of silver per person.

Five taels of silver! An ordinary working person probably couldn't earn that much in half a year.

"On behalf of my brothers, I thank you, Lord City Lord."

After saying that, he ran back and spread the news. In an instant, everyone in the factory who had participated in the battle was in an uproar.

"Haha, Fat Tiger, I killed three."

"You three are nothing, I just took out five of them with one burst of fire."
