Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1503 Presenting a Knife to the Imperial Advisor within the Palace

Luo Wang lowered his head, but inside he was overjoyed.

It seems that choosing not to report the news about Chu Chen's weapon was the best decision I could have made.

And that's how the credit came about.

Immediately, Chu Chen had Gou Shengzi drive the carriage and follow the large group into the city.

General Tang rode his tall horse directly in front of the carriage, showing Chu Chen considerable respect and honor.

It should be understood that not everyone is qualified to have General Tang Yun as their bodyguard.

The grand procession entered the capital, and such a large entourage aroused much speculation. People wondered who was in the carriages, whether it was His Majesty on an outing, otherwise, why would there be such a grand procession?

Ignoring the stares of others, Tang Yun ordered his men to clear a path and led Chu Chen straight into the palace.

Half an hour later, in the Imperial Study of the Palace, Chu Chen, led by Tang Yun, saw what he needed to verify: Empress Dong Shilan.

Dong Shilan looked at Chu Chen with a smile: "What, scared? My dear brother?"

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately feigned a flattered expression: "This humble subject, Chu Chen, greets Your Majesty."

After he finished speaking, he bowed.

"Commoner, hahaha, interesting. If you are a commoner, then the people at the bottom of society are probably not even as good as grass."

"General Tang, please give this Mr. Chu a seat. Otherwise, he won't be able to drink good wine in the future, so don't blame me."

Tang Yun was delighted upon hearing this and immediately had a stool brought over: "Mr. Chu, please sit down and let's talk."

Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in front of Dong Shilan without any hesitation, then got straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, this trip is not only to complete the mission of providing the alcohol, but also to bring you something else."

After speaking, Chu Chen looked at the knife in General Tang's hand.

Since knives were not allowed in the Imperial Study, he handed the knife to Tang Yun, while Gou Shengzi was left in another place.

Tang Yun looked at the long object in his hand with a puzzled expression. He had only been told by Chu Chen to bring something to present to His Majesty, but he didn't know what it was.

"Oh, what has my dear brother brought me this time?"

"Knife?"

"A knife? You would be better off giving it to General Tang."

Chu Chen remained silent; he wasn't delivering a knife, but rather iron.

He turned to Tang Yun and said, "General Tang, you have a knife in your hand. I'm afraid there is nothing in the entire Song Kingdom that can compare to it."

Tang Yun, a general, became excited after hearing Chu Chen's words.

In his eyes, Chu Chen wouldn't exaggerate; if he said he couldn't find it, then he really couldn't find it.

At Dong Shilan's instruction, he unwrapped the cloth covering the long sword, revealing an exquisite box.

The moment Tang Yun opened the box, a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is a treasured sword, a truly precious sword."

"Eunuch Lu, please bring one of our standard-issue knives."

As a martial artist, Lu Feng could tell from the surface that this knife was extraordinary.

He immediately turned around and pulled out a standard-issue broadsword from the shadows in the imperial study.

Tang Yun picked up the knife Chu Chen had given him, twirled it, and then used all his strength to slash at the knife in Lu Feng's hand.

The two masters clashed with all their might, and with a clang, a nick about an inch appeared in Lu Feng's knife.

However, the knife in Tang Yun's hand was completely undamaged.

"Hahaha, a treasured sword! Such a divine weapon is truly a rare find in the world."

Seeing the two people's excited expressions, Dong Shilan suddenly understood.

Chu Chen's intention was not simply to present the sword, but to give himself a surprise, a surprise that would further enhance the Song Kingdom's military strength.

"Chu Chen, what you're offering isn't a knife, but iron..."

Dong Shilan was visibly excited as she addressed him by his name, her face filled with disbelief.

"Nothing can escape His Majesty's eyes."

"That's right. I've come here to donate iron. The iron used to forge this precious sword comes from ordinary iron ore."

After hearing Chu Chen's words, the three of them began to breathe rapidly.

They originally thought that Chu Chen had obtained some good iron somewhere and wanted to sell it to His Majesty. Unexpectedly, such hard iron was actually made from ordinary iron ore.

"Mr. Chu, are you saying that you know the method to make this refined iron?"

Chu Chen nodded. It wasn't easy to earn Dong Shilan's respectful address as "Mr. Chu."

Now, it's up to Dong Shilan to decide.

After hearing this, Dong Shilan suppressed her joy. She could easily imagine that if the soldiers of the Song Kingdom were equipped with such powerful weapons, they would be virtually invincible in expanding their territory.

"Mr. Chu, what do you want?"

Sure enough, Dong Shilan, having regained her senses, immediately looked at Chu Chen and said.

"I don't want anything. What do my personal needs matter when they can bring benefits to the Song Dynasty?"

Dong Shilan didn't speak, but quietly looked at Chu Chen.

I thought it was strange that you didn't want anything, because you know, the wine and alcohol you make are all things that make money.

Who in this world doesn't love money?

However, since you don't need it, I won't be polite. After all, I'm going to keep this brat firmly in my grasp.

If you want to control him, then bring him on board.

As for killing Chu Chen, Dong Shilan never even considered it. What a joke! Such an amazing person, it would be such a waste to kill him.

Who knows how many more surprises he will give us later? Also, looking at Chu Chen's calm eyes, there is not a trace of fear.

There are many talented and extraordinary people in this world, but most of them are constrained by the majesty of the royal family and various laws, so even if they have good things, they are reluctant to give them away.

However, Chu Chen's expression showed no sign of reluctance or fear.

After a long while, seeing that Chu Chen had not yet made any requests, Dong Shilan tentatively spoke up.

"General Tang, Mr. Chu's actions are a blessing to our Song Kingdom. Does someone like Mr. Chu, who serves the Song Kingdom without seeking anything in return, deserve the title of National Preceptor?"

When Tang Yun saw Dong Shilan asking him a question, he immediately understood what she meant.

He immediately bowed to Dong Shilan and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Chu is a man of great righteousness, bringing surprises to our Song Kingdom time and time again. The title of National Preceptor is just right. Your Majesty is wise."

Chu Chen was secretly delighted after hearing this. The Imperial Advisor seemed quite capable indeed.

Although it is unknown whether the official position is high-ranking or powerful, Dong Shilan's move is to bind herself to it.

Moreover, since I can't use the space right now, having this identity would provide an extra layer of security.

You must understand how important this power is to you in the world of power.

"I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness, but I am used to freedom. Rather than having me attend court sessions in the palace all day, I would prefer to go home and strive to create more things that will bring prosperity to the Song Kingdom."
