Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 332 Trapped in the Japanese Jade Vault

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the group arrived at a gate made entirely of gold.

The gate was heavily guarded, with a squad of soldiers standing watch.

Chu Chen could tell at a glance that most of these soldiers possessed internal energy, but their strength was not great, equivalent to about twenty fourth-rank experts in the Great Xia Dynasty.

In the shadows, there were also faint traces of martial artists, though none of them were very strong.

At Kato Kaname's command, the soldiers at the gate opened it.

What came into view was an endless array of gold and silver treasures on the left side of the entrance, leaving Chu Chen stunned.

The emerald green jade essence was scattered haphazardly inside a huge room.

Chu Chen calmly surveyed everything before him, echoing Kato Yan's proud introduction.

But in his heart, he was plotting how to completely drain Kato Kaname's national treasury.

Actually, the best solution would be to have Chu Yi bombard the palace.

To divert attention from the outside world and tie down the Japanese army, he took Chu San and placed him in a secluded corner, using machine guns to suppress the Japanese troops coming to their aid.

Having tied down these ordinary soldiers, I can find an opportunity to eliminate the man in black beside Kato Kaname. I only need to stay inside for half an hour, and that should be enough.

Another way is to pretend to agree to Kato Kaname's request, then sneak in here quietly and slowly wear down those experts, or you can secretly enter this place.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch the wall of the national treasury.

All that could be seen was that it was made of huge piles of bluestone. The bluestones were fitted together so tightly that even a utility knife blade could not be inserted between them.

But suddenly, Chu Chen looked down at his feet and found that although the ground was paved with bluestone slabs, perhaps due to their age, some of the bluestone slabs were slightly loose when stepped on.

Just as he was pondering, Kato Yan, who was standing to the side, looked at Chu Chen with a smile and said, "Haha, Young Master Chu, look at all these jade stones, are you satisfied?"

"It's alright, pretty much what I expected."

"Oh, it seems that Young Master Chu is a man of great knowledge. I wonder if I could exchange my many jade stones, along with my obedient and sensible little daughter, for the method of making your weapon?"

After listening, Chu Chen glanced at Kato Yan and thought to himself that this guy probably had no idea how to use the jade. Otherwise, given his personality of wanting to get something for nothing, he probably wouldn't be willing to part with the jade.

Then there's no need to even think about bringing yourself to show off.

However, what does it mean for the ruler of a country to so easily show these jade stones to others?

"Lord Kato, this matter is of great importance. Please allow me to return and report to His Majesty before making a decision."

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Kato Yan's eyes sharpened, and she turned to glance at the dark figure behind her.

Then, still smiling, he said, "Young Master Chu, since the method of making it was created by you, there's no need for Zhou Shixun to decide on it."

After saying that, he walked towards the center of the national treasury on his own.

Seeing this, Chu Chen unconsciously followed suit, but after taking about ten steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The group of people behind him did not follow, and Kato Yan walked forward at a very fast speed, putting about ten meters between them.

"Holy crap, you cheated!"

Chu Chen realized something was wrong and rushed towards Kato Yan while shouting.

But at that moment, a huge iron cage suddenly fell down from above, covering Chu Chen.

Chu Chen immediately used his movement technique and darted away with a whoosh.

But he had only taken a few steps when a sharp longsword came hurtling towards him at lightning speed, forcing Chu Chen to dodge it.

But in the brief moment that Chu Chen dodged the longsword, the iron cage locked him in the very center of the warehouse.

Chu Chen stood inside the cage, coldly watching Kato Yan outside.

Then he said coldly, "Lord Kato, what is the meaning of this? You should know that if I suffer even the slightest harm in this Japan, His Majesty will surely send a large army to flatten your Japan."

As Chu Chen spoke, he prepared to enter the space at any moment, looking at Kato Yan with icy eyes, thinking to himself, "You old bastard, your palace is rotten to the core."

Kato Yan burst into laughter upon seeing Chu Chen, who was now under control.

"Young Master Chu, please calm down. Great Xia is my elder brother. How could I dare to be disrespectful to you?"

"Oh, so what do you plan to do?"

"The reason I'm using this method is simply because Young Master Chu is highly skilled in martial arts. I'm doing this so that we can sit down and have a proper discussion about your cooperation with my Japan."

Kato Yan plopped down in the extra-high chair his subordinates had prepared for him, looking down at Chu Chen with an air of superiority.

"Sigh! I'm not very tall, so I like sitting on this high chair. I just can't stand people who are taller than me."

After saying that, Kato Yan took the tea prepared by the person next to her, took a sip, and spat it in Chu Chen's direction.

Only then did he slowly speak.

"Young Master Chu, you are incredibly audacious to come to my palace alone. Have you forgotten how many of my Japanese warships you sank?"

"However, since you still have value, I won't blame you."

"Now you only have one path before you: hand over the weapon-making method and serve me well. After I conquer the land of Great Xia, perhaps I can reunite you with your wives and concubines."

Chu Chen didn't speak, but looked at him like he was an idiot, waiting for him to continue.

"What's wrong, Young Master Chu? Aren't you going to say anything?"

"Heh, is this how you ask for favors?" Chu Chen looked up at him and asked in return.

"Haha, begging for help? What did he say? Begging for help..."

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, bursts of laughter erupted from the surrounding area.

Kato Yan almost laughed until tears streamed down her face, thinking to herself, "Are all the people of Daxia idiots?"

"Haha, you big Xia pig, you really have a pig brain! Can't you see the situation?"

Chu Chen laughed instead of getting angry: "Kato Yan, do you really think that the idiot wrapped up like a mummy next to you and these chickens and dogs around you can control your grandfather?"

Before Kato Yan could speak, the man in black beside him stepped forward.

Speaking in fluent Daxia dialect, he said, "Hehe, kid, do you really think you're invincible at the eighth rank?"

"Also, try circulating your qi. Do you feel any unusual sensation in your body?"

After listening, Chu Chen stared coldly at him, imitated the old man in the square doing Tai Chi and gathered his energy, then pretended to frown and look like he was in great pain.

"You...you despicable scoundrel!"

But he was also very puzzled. Hearing this person speak the language of the Great Xia, he wondered if he was not a Japanese.
