Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1113 Chaos in Gu Ning, Emperor Flees

No matter how hard they chased, they couldn't catch up with the two.

In the end, those weaker individuals who followed behind were thoroughly plundered by those people.

Three days later, Chu Chen and Tian Shan entered a city.

This was also the last city they visited on their journey, Nanshui City.

After replenishing their supplies in this city, they would have to travel for the next two weeks through the desolate land from Nanshui to Kushan.

Bitter Mountain is called Bitter Mountain because it is uninhabited and no one wants to go there.

Therefore, even though Gu Ning has been a nation for so long, very few people have ever reached Ku Mountain.

It is filled with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, as well as various perilous and mysterious formations, making it a place that not everyone can reach.

This time, no one knows who spread the news that a large number of treasures had appeared in Bitter Mountain, which attracted these martial artists to go there one after another.

This group of people are all after the treasures, except for Chu Chen, who is probably after the power of heaven and earth.

"Brother, this South Water City may not be as prosperous as the inland areas, but it has everything you need."

After Tianshan and Chuchen entered the city, the two started chatting.

However, it was mainly Tianshan who talked and Chu Chen who listened, and Tianshan mostly talked about various foods and places to play.

Chu Chen was generous and led him into a very prosperous-looking restaurant.

The two went straight into a private room, ordered a table full of dishes, and began to toast each other.

The restaurant was filled with martial artists of all kinds, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

“Fellow Daoist Tianshan, there are quite a few martial artists in this Gu Ning Kingdom. Look, the entire restaurant is full in just half an hour.”

"Hehe, treasures are tempting. This time, about 60% of the martial artists from Gu Ning have come to Bitter Mountain. Everyone says that Bitter Mountain is full of treasures, but most people are just here to broaden their horizons. If things go wrong, they might even lose their lives!"

Tianshan looked at the martial artists inside the restaurant, picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and sighed.

However, just after Chu Chen and his group arrived at Nanshui.

A major event occurred in Gu Ning, the capital city.

Zhuang Xianyun asked Lao Bi anxiously, "Are you saying that a large number of foreign enemies have appeared in various places, and that there are also foreign enemies in the capital?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. It seems that this time, they have been planning this for a long time, taking advantage of the fact that my Gu Ning is on the verge of collapse to launch a devastating attack!"

Old Bi was somewhat uneasy.

According to his information, not only have a large number of enemy troops appeared, but also a large number of skilled martial artists have emerged in the capital.

This made him worry not only about Gu Ning's safety but also about Zhuang Xianyun's safety.

Clearly, this time, they had been planning this for a long time.

The enemy forces outside are there to seize territory, while those in the capital are here specifically to take over Zhuang Xianyun's territory.

"Your Majesty, I suggest you stay home!"

Seeing Zhuang Xianyun looking extremely anxious, carrying a long sword and about to go out to inspect, Lao Bi quickly stepped forward to stop her.

Just then, several generals also entered the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, there are many martial arts masters in the capital. Our soldiers are no match for them. This time, they are coming for Your Majesty. Please evacuate as soon as possible!"

"What? Martial artists are entering the capital?"

Zhuang Xianyun looked at the general and Lao Bi in disbelief.

"That's right. Some of these people are exceptionally strong. I'm not afraid of them fighting against the soldiers, but I am afraid of them carrying out assassinations and attacks."

Zhuang Xianyun frowned: "Old Bi, the treasure in Ku Mountain must also be part of their scheme?"

"That's right. They used treasure as bait to lure all our martial artists to the south. Now, they can't even muster many people in the capital."

"Heh, it's everywhere!"

Zhuang Xianyun never expected that she would be able to enjoy peace for a while after eliminating the external enemy.

Unexpectedly, after driving away the wolves, an even larger tiger was looking at his wounded body.

She had learned so many good governance methods from Chu Chen, but at this moment the country was weak and could not even resist foreign enemies, so how could there be any governance to speak of?

"Your Majesty, please make a decision soon!"

"I can't leave. If I leave, the people of Guning will truly become slaves to others!"

"Your Majesty, this is not the time to talk about this. I have already prepared 30,000 troops outside to cover your retreat."

"One day, we will fight back. We will never be slaves to a conquered nation. But for now, we have no choice but to leave."

"If anything were to happen to His Majesty, then the entire Gu Ning would truly be doomed!"

As Zhuang Xianyun listened to everyone's advice, even the usually strong-willed woman couldn't help but have tears welling up in her eyes.

They were right. If they didn't leave, there probably wouldn't be anyone in the entire Gu Ning region who could rally and organize these people.

However, her departure meant abandoning all the land in the north. If she could not lead her troops back from the south, then Gu Ning would also lose nearly half of its territory.

Moreover, if they press their advantage, they might lose the south as well.

We now face two choices: one is to defend the capital and fight to the death, which could very well result in the destruction of the country.

Secondly, retreating to the south might offer a glimmer of hope.

She was not one to mince words: "General Chen, remember to preserve your strength, and more importantly, your personal safety. If you are gone, who will lead the army to fight back for me!"

,

He looked at a general who had been assigned to the rearguard and said with a dejected expression.

"Your Majesty, the Chen family has been loyal and brave for generations. Please rest assured that as long as Your Majesty is safe, if things become unmanageable, the Chen family army will lie in wait and await Your Majesty's return!"

"Alright, General Chen, thank you for your trouble. You must not get hurt!"

An hour later, two fast horses galloped out of the palace and headed straight south.

Immediately, an old man and a woman dressed as a peasant appeared.

Meanwhile, taking the Qinghe River, a natural barrier, as a natural defense, a large number of soldiers built line after line of defense south of the Qinghe River.

At this moment, Chu Chen and Tian Shan were completely unaware that Gu Ning was already in danger of national annihilation.

The two were currently in a brothel in Nanshui City, drinking and exchanging toasts.

With a smile, Chu Chen pushed aside the software hardening engineer who was trying to rub against him, and looked at the extremely excited Tianshan.

He thought to himself that there is more than one Chen Qingxuan in this world, everyone is Chen Qingxuan!

That very night, in Nanshui City, countless wealthy households were invaded by ruthless men in black. They brutally murdered the rich and seized everything in their homes.

In the government office of Nanshui City, a middle-aged man was pulled out of bed and tied naked to a pillar.

He could only watch helplessly as his wife and daughters were brutally defiled by those men in black.

It was as if all the officials and constables in the government office had vanished in an instant.

But all of this was happening quietly, and the ordinary people were completely unaware that the entire Nanshui region had been controlled by foreign tribes.
