Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1106 Empress Zhuang Xianyun of Gu Ning

“Old Bi, step back. Young Master Chu is clearly a refined and gentle man. Your behavior makes you seem rather rude.”

Seeing that Chu Chen and Lao Bi were on the verge of exchanging blows, Zhuang Xianyun immediately spoke up from behind.

Zhuang Xianyun thought highly of this courageous man.

Moreover, this man looks like an ordinary person with no cultivation level, so he doesn't pose much of a threat. Therefore, it's not too late to listen to what he has to say before deciding whether to kill him or not.

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself that there were still reasonable people among them.

So he put away his Glock and waited for Lao Bi to return to Zhuang Xianyun's side.

He put away the Glock in his hand, then stepped forward and bowed to Zhuang Xianyun: "Chu Chen greets Your Majesty. I never expected that our Emperor of Gu Ning would be so beautiful."

Zhuang Xianyun smiled after hearing this.

Even an emperor, in the end, is still a woman.

Moreover, Chu Chen is handsome and appears gentle and refined, but when confronting Lao Bi, he exudes a domineering aura. What woman wouldn't be happy if such a man praised her for being good-looking?

"Are you seeking the power of heaven and earth?"

After saying that, Zhuang Xianyun turned to look at Lao Bi behind her, and the two of them exchanged knowing smiles.

"That's right, Your Majesty. It is said that there is the power of heaven and earth in this world. If a martial artist absorbs it, he can move mountains and fill seas, and fly over rooftops and walk on walls!"

"This is something I greatly admire. I've heard that there are highly skilled individuals within the royal family, so I've come to seek their guidance!"

Zhuang Xianyun smiled slightly after hearing this: "This is not the attitude of asking for advice. If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been fighting with this expert in the palace just now!"

After listening, Chu Chen looked up at Lao Bi behind her and said, "Senior, I was a little rude just now, please forgive me!"

Old Bi simply waved his hand, thinking to himself, "Your aura just now almost scared me to death."

However, as a master, the strongest master in Gu Ning, if he could hear the sound fall, then he had no need to be petty.

Moreover, knowing when to stop while you're ahead is the key to living longer.

"Hehe, Young Master Chu, you flatter me. I am no expert, and I know nothing about the power of heaven and earth that you speak of!"

Damn, old Biden is angry!

Chu Chen understood perfectly well what he meant. There were two possibilities: either he was angry, or he genuinely didn't know.

But right now I have neither money nor supplies, so how am I supposed to take this deal?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen turned his gaze to Zhuang Xianyun.

"Your Majesty, as subjects of Gu Ning, we are all told that you are a wise ruler, a great emperor of all time. You cannot ignore the demands of your people!"

Hmph, you're angry? Then I'll call your master!

"A great emperor throughout the ages," Zhuang Xianyun laughed after hearing this. "This kid really knows how to flatter people!"

"Hehe, Chu Chen, you're quite good at putting labels on me. 'Emperor of the Ages,' that's too much. I can't accept that title!"

He said that, but he was secretly overjoyed.

"How dare you speak to me so presumptuously! Aren't you afraid that I might kill you in a fit of rage?"

Chu Chen's lips curled up slightly after hearing this. He thought to himself, "If I was afraid you would kill me, I wouldn't have come. At least from the current perspective, these people in the courtyard pose no threat to me at all."

"I believe His Majesty will not kill someone who speaks the truth!"

"Hahaha, what a truth-teller! Guards, bring a seat!"

Zhuang Xianyun was overjoyed upon hearing this: "I'll see today what other truths you have to tell me!"

The war had just ended, and she was in a state of utter disarray. She knew that the country was devastated and on the verge of collapse, with its population drastically reduced due to the war, especially the number of men.

Without a good solution, this country will eventually perish.

I'm feeling quite upset today. This kid's way of speaking and acting is no different from ordinary people. Maybe I should listen to the opinions of the people.

Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down opposite her. He then took the tea brought by the maid, blew on it leisurely, and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Your Majesty, what other truths would you like to hear?"

"Good, this straightforward nature suits my taste very well."

"Then tell me, is the Nightshade thing a good thing or a bad thing?"

Chu Chen frowned after hearing this, thinking to himself that this woman was giving him a challenge.

Fortunately, he had amazing defenses and wasn't afraid of her taking her anger out on him, so he answered without much hesitation.

What a joke! How could a former ruler of a region possibly be so subservient to an emperor?

"Good, and bad!"

"Oh...then tell me, what's good about it, and what's bad about it!"

After hearing Chu Chen's answer, Zhuang Xianyun thought to herself that finally someone dared to tell the truth. Usually, no matter who she asked, the answer would always be "yes." There was no way around it; this policy was something she had made herself.

"Alright, let's make it clear first. When Nightshade appears, it brings men and women together, and the intense passion can indeed increase fertility."

"Furthermore, having many children from the same father can make them more united..."

"Stop! That's not what I want to hear!"

Zhuang Xianyun frowned and immediately interrupted Chu Chen. That's right, what she wanted to hear was how bad it was!

"Um... if it's not good, then there's a lot more!"

"many?"

Zhuang Xianyun thought to herself that she had met someone who dared to speak her mind today.

"When the Night Demon appears, people are filled with fear. If the government does nothing, over time, the government's standing and credibility in the hearts of the people will be completely destroyed."

When Zhuang Xianyun heard Chu Chen's first words, her heart skipped a beat. He was right. When an official government does not solve problems for the people, the people are like springs, always ready to explode in silence.

"Keep talking!"

"Secondly, matters between men and women should be based on mutual consent. Such promiscuity leads to many people being forced to give birth to children. How much of that child will actually receive the warmth of a family?"

"Will this have a negative impact on his future development?"

This was the first time Zhuang Xianyun had heard this way of thinking. In her mind, being born was good enough; who cared about your growth?

"go on!"

Even though Zhuang Xianyun kept a dark expression on her face, Chu Chen didn't care.

"To give birth and not raise is the greatest sin in the world."

"But with limited productivity, once a child is born, how will it survive, how will it eat and stay warm? This is probably unbearable for a family."

"The worst-case scenario is that, under extremely dire circumstances, many babies will be abandoned..."

Chu Chen didn't continue. He knew that Zhuang Xianyun had already considered these things, but someone just needed to say them.

"Why did you stop talking?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty, whether you speak or not is no longer important. Those with eyes don't need to speak, and what good would it do for those with closed eyes to speak?"

"Hahaha, well said, whether to speak or not. Now that you've seen the facts, teach me how to resolve this?"
