Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1104 Why Not Come to the Palace With Me

As Liu Shuixian spoke, she walked toward the direction of the sound.

Just as Chu Chen was about to draw his weapon and fire at Liu Shuixian, she unexpectedly increased her speed instantly.

To put the Glock in automatic mode and fire a burst of bullets at it would be a waste.

Seeing this, Chu Chen gripped the Glock in his hand and followed after Liu Shuixian.

"Hey, I reckon it's just a rat or something. Why are you so nervous, Miss Liu?"

But Chu Chen was just an ordinary person; how could he compare to Liu Shuixian's speed?

When he arrived at the cellar, he found that Liu Shuixian had already opened the wooden planks of the cellar and then turned to look at Chu Chen who had entered.

Seeing that things had been exposed, Chu Chen raised his Glock and aimed it at Liu Shuixian!

"Hmph, who exactly are you? And why are you hiding a girl in the cellar out of nowhere!"

After hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "You're still pretending? I know everything."

So he didn't bother to hide it and said to her, "I won't tell anyone about Night Enchantress, but as a condition, you answer one question for me. Then you can go about your business, and I'll go far away."

"Hahaha, what a big mouth you have! What gives you the audacity to speak to me like that?"

After saying that, Liu Shuixian drew her long sword and pointed it at Chu Chen.

Seeing that she was about to rush over, Chu Chen immediately pulled the trigger on a jar that had been left behind her at some unknown time.

He didn't want to kill anyone, but if pushed too far, he would kill all three of them and then run away!

Liu Shuixian watched as a ball of fire appeared in Chu Chen's hand, and then the jar behind him exploded.

This power was something she simply couldn't contend with.

"Heh, that's my confidence. Don't move, or I'll head you off!"

Liu Shuixian was taken aback by Chu Chen's actions. She frowned and then helplessly dropped the long sword in her hand.

Who exactly are you? What do you want to know?

"Hehe, if you had said so earlier, that would have been better. Bring the two of them out, and we'll have a good talk!"

After saying that, Chu Chen gestured to Liu Shuixian to pull Xiaoyu and Xiaofeng out of the cellar.

But instead of allowing her to untie the rope, they dragged her directly into the yard.

Chu Chen sat in the chair, looked at the three people in front of him, and said to Liu Shuixian, "If you want to know something, ask Xiaoyu. She understands. I don't want to waste any more words!"

After listening, Liu Shuixian turned to look at Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu dared not look Liu Shuixian in the eye, for Liu Shuixian already knew about their secret.

Moreover, Liu Shuixian originally came to rescue them, but unexpectedly, she also got trapped here.

What kind of being is this man before me, that he could unleash such a powerful attack?

"Tell me?"

Liu Shuixian spoke, her tone calm, as if she had never blamed them.

"My lord, he wants to know about our cultivation system and something called the Power of Heaven and Earth..."

Upon hearing about the power of heaven and earth, Liu Shuixian visibly frowned.

She seemed to have heard of it somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it. However, she was certain that her master knew.

“Young Master Chu, things have come to this point, and we have nothing more to say. But after all, all of this is His Majesty’s will, and we are just following orders. If you really want to destroy Night Demon, then start with us.”

"However, my master may understand something about the power of heaven and earth that you mentioned later!"

Chu Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking to himself that there was finally some progress!

"Heh, Nightshade has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to get involved. I have more important things to do. Take me to see your master!"

He had considered that Liu Shuixian was currently at around the fourth rank in strength, and her master, if not some kind of old monster, probably wasn't much stronger.

So he's determined to go this time.

Only by venturing deep can one reach the pinnacle.

Liu Shuixian was surprised that Chu Chen agreed so easily, and even wanted to meet her master. Wasn't he afraid of being tricked?

Or, have enough confidence in your own abilities!

Little did they know, Chu Chen had already considered all of this; there was danger, but not much.

Just then, the officers who heard the gunshot rushed into the courtyard. They had no choice; if something happened to this person on their turf, they would lose countless heads.

However, when they rushed in and saw Chu Chen sitting casually in the courtyard, while the three women stood respectfully in front of him, they were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

"M-Sir, this..."

The leading officer looked at Chu Chen and then at Liu Shuixian, and asked somewhat fearfully.

"Prepare the carriage; we are going to the palace with Young Master Chu!"

"Enter the palace?"

Chu Chen frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Aren't we going to see your master? Why do we have to go to the palace?"

“Young Master Chu, my master is the number one expert in the palace and the chief eunuch by His Majesty’s side. So, if you want to see him, you really have to go to the palace.”

Although Chu Chen felt somewhat resistant after hearing this, he thought to himself that they were probably trying to set him up.

But this was the only option available so that I could leave as soon as possible.

"It's alright, then I'll accompany you to the palace!"

The officials were very fast, and a carriage arrived in no time.

Then Chu Chen, holding the Glock, boarded the carriage with Liu Shuixian, while Xiaoyu and Xiaofeng walked angrily beside the carriage.

The two women were furious when they thought about what Chu Chen had done to them.

But there was nothing they could do. Liu Shuixian's status was much higher than theirs, and since Liu Shuixian hadn't said anything, what could they say?

If Chu Chen goes to the palace and catches the eye of those important figures, they might even offer him the two of them.

After all, Gu Ning is desperately short of men, and even more so, men with great strength.

The carriage moved slowly, and Chu Chen pulled back the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

Half a day later, they left the border town and headed straight for the imperial city.

Looking around, in the fields on both sides of the official road, most of the people working were women, while men were very few.

"Young Master Chu, you see? Even Her Majesty the Empress has no choice. After all, Gu Ning is in dire need of population replenishment!"

"It's all because of this damned war, ugh!"

"Therefore, I hope Young Master Chu will understand regarding the matter of Nightshade!"

Chu Chen didn't hear anything else, but he heard the Empress very clearly.

"You mean, Her Majesty is a woman?"

"That's right, Young Master Chu. Even His Majesty is in a difficult position. In the end, she's just a woman!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening. Indeed, with a woman in power, in such turbulent circumstances, facing powerful enemies outside and having to guard against internal unrest, Ye Mei's twisted tactics were understandable!

"Hehe, I'd like to meet our Emperor."
