Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 988 Meeting Tokitoshi in Hyde City

"Fuck you, get the hell away from me."

Seeing Sanxiu suddenly squeeze in, Chu Chen kicked him out.

"Young master, something's wrong! There's someone blocking the way! I'm scared!"

"Screw you! With me here, get in here and stay put."

After saying that, Chu Chen pulled back the curtain and stepped out of the carriage, then picked up Sanxiu and threw him into the carriage.

Then, looking up, I saw two carts parked sideways on the street, blocking the way for the carriage.

On either side of the cart, a dozen or so burly men wielding long knives were eyeing it menacingly.

Chu Chen looked at the somewhat unfamiliar group of people in front of him and strode forward.

"Friend, horse-drawn carriages are not allowed on this street. Are you from out of town?"

Upon seeing Chu Chen approach, a man with a full head of hair immediately drew his knife and spoke sternly to Chu Chen.

"Heh, whether or not we use a carriage is not up to you. Tell Changshou to come out and see me."

Chu Chen continued striding forward. When he was about ten steps away from the man with a full face of hair, he reached out and pushed the man in the air. The man with the full face of hair fell backward and landed on the ground.

After getting up, the group looked at Chu Chen in horror.

Is someone a deity who can knock people down from thin air?

Moreover, he could name their boss as easily as if he were just mentioning one of his underlings.

The group immediately cowered: "Young master, may I ask who you are?"

“You have no right to know. Take me to Changshou. Also, tie up that little eunuch behind me and separate them, understand?”

"Understood, young master, this way please!"

The man with a full head of hair stood up and bowed to Chu Chen, gesturing for him to proceed.

The others rushed towards the carriage and quickly tied up Sanxiu, then put him in a black sack and disappeared into the alley next door.

The carriage was driven away, and the street returned to its usual state, as if Chu Chen had never been there.

Chu Chen followed them, making several turns, and soon arrived in front of a large house.

Just as the man with a full head of hair was about to report inside, he turned around and saw that Chu Chen had vanished without a trace.

"Holy crap, where did they go?"

Upon closer inspection, he saw that he had already entered the house and successfully found Changshou's room.

Then he stretched out his foot and kicked the door open.

"Who the hell are you...? Can't you see I'm doing it...?"

The door was kicked open, and Chang Shou, who was inside, hurriedly dressed and cursed as he rushed towards the door.

Upon seeing Chu Chen, she immediately slumped down, stammering, "Young...Young Master..."

"Brother Chang, you're in high spirits! In broad daylight, aren't you afraid of hurting your back!"

"Please forgive me, young master, I..."

"Alright, no need to explain, I understand. I'll wait for you in the tea room next door!"

After saying that, Chu Chen turned and walked towards the tea room. Upon seeing this, Chang Shou immediately gave a wink to the maids beside him.

Several maids hurriedly followed behind Chu Chen and then brewed tea for him.

"Young master, please have some tea!"

Chu Chen looked up at the maid in front of him, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. She was plump and round, and thought to himself, "Chang Shou, your taste is quite unusual."

"Alright, you can go now. I need to talk to your Boss Chang about something."

After sending the maid away, Changshou entered the tea room and knelt down before Chu Chen.

"Young master, where have you gone? Miss Anlan said you were nowhere to be seen, and we haven't seen you since!"

As she spoke, her face still showed a hint of grievance.

Seeing Chang Shou's appearance, Chu Chen understood that An Lan was quite ambitious and would probably bully him after he became powerful.

But that's human nature. I don't want to get too involved, and Changshou is living a pretty comfortable life now, so why should I forcefully stop things from developing?

"Alright, you're a grown man, stop acting like your wife just died, stand up!"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Chang Shou seemed to be infused with some kind of power, and immediately stood up, becoming upright.

"Please give your orders, young master. Chang Shou and his brothers must be ready at any time!"

"Hehe, my name now is Chu Laoliu. Remember that. In the future, when we're out, you can call me Young Master Liu."

"I remember!"

"Alright, sit down. Tell me, what happened after you left Lingyang? Why did you return to Hyde City?"

After listening, Chang Shou immediately plopped down in a chair, downed a cup of tea, and began to speak.

It turned out that after Chu Chen left, they advanced rapidly, and only about three thousand soldiers remained in Lingyang City, who were no match for them.

Using the composite bow and longsword given to them by Chu Chen, they broke through the city gates and occupied the city lord's mansion in just one day.

Immediately afterwards, all the people who had embezzled their disaster relief funds and supplies were arrested.

Anlan and Changshou clashed over how to deal with these people.

Given Chang Shou's personality, he would kill them and then have his brothers become the lords of the city.

Anlan, on the other hand, wanted to hand these people over to the imperial court to deal with them and expose their embezzlement to the public.

The two insisted on their own opinions, and for a time they reached a stalemate.

The brothers they brought with them were also completely at a loss.

With her formidable martial prowess, An Lan was beyond their ability to subdue for the time being.

So, while the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Anlan secretly had someone notify her superiors.

As a result, the higher authorities sent a large army to Lingyang, which successfully took over those who had embezzled public funds.

An Lan also gained merit for this, and at this moment, she is already a general in the Lingyang City garrison.

Although those people were eventually punished by the government, Chang Shou felt increasingly aggrieved, so he led his remaining brothers back to Hyde City and started to develop there.

Chu Chen smiled slightly after listening, thinking to himself that it was impossible to say who was right or wrong between the two.

If those people were killed according to Chang Shou's wishes, they might already be classified as bandits or rebels.

Anlan's thoughts were either due to her soft heart and fear of power, or she was considering her future path.

But now it seems she made the right bet. She is now a high-ranking female general guarding the city, while Chang Shou and the others are living in the darkness underground.

Chu Chen did not judge who was right or wrong.

Instead, he stepped forward and patted Changshou on the shoulder: "Anlan compromised with the government because she considered her future, but you are an ambitious person who is capable of great things, so this time, I'm here!"
