Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1508 Returning to Seoul with Soldiers

Dong Shilan frowned after hearing this. Indeed, Seoul was also in a very important position at this moment.

She actually thought the same thing as Chu Chen: the person behind this must have known the secret of the alcohol or the steel, which is why they attempted to assassinate Chu Chen.

Not many people know these things, so it seems that someone in the palace leaked the secret.

After all, something as important as alcohol can't be kept secret if it's to be distributed throughout the entire army.

Therefore, many officials in the palace knew about this matter.

However, if they could find Chu Chen through alcohol, it would be even easier for them.

A spy? Or someone colluding with the enemy?

Dong Shilan leaned more towards the latter, which was that someone had colluded with the enemy.

Obtaining Chu Chen's formula is not easy. Because of Chu Chen's relationship with her, she would investigate anyone who coveted the formula. Therefore, they chose to destroy Chu Chen directly.

After Dong Shilan explained her thoughts, Chu Chen nodded in agreement.

"Sister, that's why I have to go back. The recipe isn't just something I know; Fat Tiger and Niu Zi both know it too. I'm afraid someone might try to harm them!"

"Alright, tomorrow, I will have General Tang personally accompany you back."

The next day, a group of one hundred people left the capital and embarked on the official road to Seoul.

Chu Chen arrived in the same carriage as before, but there was one more person inside.

"Brother, this time, I'm going to Seoul with you to ensure the safety of all your businesses, so don't worry."

Inside the carriage, Chu Chen and Tang Yun sat facing each other.

Tang Yun held a wine glass in his hand and spoke to Chu Chen.

He wasn't really worried about his own safety; his main concern was for Fat Tiger and Niu Zi.

Who knows what kind of person is behind this?

If what Dong Shi-ran said is true, and it was a powerful family that was turned by spies, they should probably be on their way to Seoul right now.

Inside the same grand mansion in the capital.

"You mean, Chu Chen has already returned to Seoul?"

“Father has indeed passed away, but he has Tang Yun by his side, along with Tang Yun’s most elite personal guards.”

The middle-aged man nodded after listening.

"Hehe, since that's the case, why don't you go to Seoul too? This time, we'll test your abilities."

"The officials over there said that Chu Chen should be put on hold for now, and we should deal with this matter after this storm has passed."

"Thank you, Father, for your guidance!"

A short while later, a carriage stopped in front of the mansion, and a young man and an elderly coachman stepped into the carriage.

"Uncle Ghost, let's go!"

"Sit tight, young master, let's go have some fun in Seoul!"

In Seoul, Fat Tiger and his men were busily distilling liquor in the distillery, while Niu Zi, following Chu Chen's instructions, took his wife back to the south to prepare for large-scale sugarcane planting.

So at this moment, Fat Tiger is in charge of the entire Seoul, but he's also exhausted.

As night fell, Fat Tiger, wiggling his fat body, had his servants drive the carriage into the newly opened April Fragrance.

"Tiger, you've arrived very early today! The girls are all waiting for you!"

Fat Tiger threw a lump of silver at the madam.

"Go, go, go, hurry up and make the arrangements. I'll be leaving in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!"

After saying that, he walked up to the second floor with practiced ease.

However, just as he stepped into the second floor and loaded his weapon, five or six burly men rushed out from the corner of the room.

"Tiger Lord... come with us!"

Fat Tiger's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, thinking to himself that he was being watched.

With neither Brother Chen nor Niu Zi at home right now, their chances of survival are slim.

"Gentlemen, I have silver. Name your price?"

"We don't want money!"

"Then what do you want?"

"My master wants to see you!"

Fat Tiger, seeing the approaching figure, realized he couldn't possibly defeat them alone, so he could only stall for time, since he always took only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to arrive.

Therefore, if he didn't go out after the allotted time, the madam would come and call him.

,

That will be the time for me to extricate myself.

"Uh...that's easy. I'll go see your master tomorrow. Just tell me the place!"

"Hahaha, do you think we brothers are all idiots?"

Fat Tiger's eyes darted around after hearing this.

"Well, I can go now, but at least let me get things done. It'll only be a short while, like the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. I've already paid the money, so I can't let myself lose out."

The leader of the thugs looked at Fat Tiger as if he were an idiot.

They wondered if the higher-ups had taken the wrong medicine. Was it really worth having these guys take action against such a dim-witted and physically weak idiot?

Just send a few underlings over, and it'll be done, right?

"Fatty, I'll still call you Fatty for now, but you won't have the chance when I pull out my knife."

Fat Tiger was panicking inside, but on the surface he was all smiles, looking like a fool.

"Brothers, you're joking. If you don't want money, why use knives? Besides, the soldiers are right downstairs. If I shout..."

After saying that, Fat Tiger looked at them with a grin, but his eyes were fixed on his expression.

Sure enough, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes the moment they heard the name of the officers and soldiers.

"You little bastard, don't try to fool me. Come with me and you'll suffer less."

Fat Tiger knew he couldn't keep up the argument, but it wasn't even time for a cup of tea yet.

No matter how much noise you make inside, the madam will still think you're enjoying yourself.

So, chuckling to himself, he slowly backed towards the door.

With his physique of over 200 pounds, if he were to charge with all his might, that broken door shouldn't be able to stop him.

Should we give it a try? What would the consequences be?

However, his thoughts were only on the tip of his tongue for a moment before the man in the lead saw through his intentions.

"Kid, don't even think about running away. If you try, you'll be a corpse today."

Fat Tiger sneered inwardly, thinking to himself, "I'm not easily scared. These people have gone through such a meticulous plan; they must want my brewing recipe."

At this moment, I haven't fallen into their hands yet, but if I'm captured and used to blackmail Brother Chen, things will get complicated.

"Hehe, I weigh over 200 pounds, let's see if you have the ability."

After saying that, Fat Tiger suddenly rushed towards the door.

The group was dumbfounded. They hadn't expected that this fat guy would be so agile and incredibly fast.

The two brothers guarding the door didn't even have time to draw their swords before a lump of flesh appeared before them.

Fat Tiger, who didn't know kung fu, simply reached out and pushed the two of them.

With a snap, the door was smashed open by Fatty Tiger using the two men as cushions. The two men fell to the ground, allowing Fatty Tiger to rush out.

"Help! Murder! Help!"
