Chapter 701: After a Long Journey, We Finally Arrive
As the caravan slowly moved forward, it finally arrived at the city gate of Anchang Kingdom after about an hour.
When the Li family members guarding the city gate saw the densely packed convoys heading in their direction, they assumed a large army was coming to attack and immediately sounded the battle horn.
Upon seeing this, Chu Yi immediately stopped the infantry fighting vehicle in front of him.
Chu Shiwu plopped down on the cannon and aimed the cannon at the city gate.
This scene startled Du Yueshen, who immediately said, "Senior Chu, don't worry, I'll go negotiate, I'll go negotiate."
He thought to himself, what if, by some accident, that kid behind him were to fire a few shots at the city wall? How many innocent lives would be lost?
Looking at Du Yueshen's tense expression, Chu Chen thought to himself, "I don't want to fight at all."
Little Fifteen, on the other hand, seemed eager to try. This guy just had a violent streak, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
So he turned around and shouted, "Don't fire! We don't know the situation yet."
Chu Shiwu looked ahead with some disappointment: "Godfather, I won't fight, but if they do, I'll blow them to smithereens."
Chu Chen ignored him and got out of the car with Du Yueshen, heading towards the city gate.
As soon as Du Yueshen got off the car, he raised the token in his hand. You should know that there are archers on the city wall.
If that archer is a master-level expert, there could be danger.
Upon seeing the token in Du Yueshen's hand, General Li, who was guarding the city, immediately ordered his men to lay down their weapons.
"Who goes there and why do you enter the city?"
The general guarding the city shouted loudly as he walked out of the city gate with his weapon and headed towards Chu Chen and his companion.
"General, I am Du Yueshen, the magistrate of Tongluo County. This gentleman beside me is Senior Chu Chen. Please allow us to pass!"
Upon hearing this, the general thought to himself, "Chu Chen? This man has returned!"
So he dropped his weapon and ran towards Chu Chen: "This subordinate greets Elder Chu!"
Chu Chen was stunned after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Damn it, when did I agree to be your elder?"
"General, please rise. But what is the origin of this address of 'elder'?"
The general guarding the city was taken aback when he heard this, wondering if he had called him by the wrong name. He knew that Chu Chen was a recognized guest of the Li family, and even the entire Anchang Kingdom.
So he said somewhat awkwardly, "Elder Chu, you are on good terms with my family head. Everyone says that you are the strongest guest elder in my Li family."
So... please forgive me if I have offended you!
Chu Chen finally realized what was happening and turned to look at Du Yueshen beside him.
Thinking to himself, it seems that a lot must have happened in the year or so that I have to ask Du Yueshen about it when I get back to Chu Family Village.
However, this is not the time to argue with a general who is defending the city.
So he politely said, "I am bringing my family into the city. Please open the city gates, General, and do me the favor!"
They've already called in the elders, who would dare refuse to let them pass? That would be tantamount to courting death.
So the general turned to the side and gestured for Chu Chen to enter.
Chu Chen nodded slightly to the general, then turned and returned to the infantry fighting vehicle.
Immediately afterwards, the entire convoy started moving, and one vehicle after another entered the city walls of Anchang Kingdom.
It was at this moment that it was confirmed that they had truly arrived in Anchang Kingdom. Although the land outside also belonged to Anchang Kingdom, it had always been a place without anyone in charge.
Chu Chen had previously considered developing a city on the outskirts.
However, the situation in Anchang Kingdom was unclear at the moment, and it was unknown what their city walls were guarding against, so the idea was abandoned.
Just after Chu Chen and his group entered Anchang Kingdom, on a cruise ship far off the coast.
A figure emerged.
He then shielded his eyes from the blazing sun with his hand, adjusted his gaze to the light, and then walked into the cabin laughing loudly.
He then went up to the top floor and saw its luxurious amenities. Thinking back on the past year, he realized he had been living in those dark corners. He then kicked the door to the top floor room.
"Chu Chen, don't give me a chance. Once I do, I'll make you pay a terrible price."
"Everything is because of your interference, which has prevented me from seizing imperial power and instead made me suffer like a rat in the street for so many years."
After saying that, he went down the stairs, rushed into the warehouse, stuffed a backpack full of necessary supplies, and then disembarked from the cruise ship, heading towards the depths of land.
Chi Yanfei was somewhat frantic. He wandered aimlessly, one thought after another arising in his mind.
In this life, he had no other purpose than revenge—revenge for Chu Chen's constant obstruction.
Little did Chu Chen know that he had unwittingly offended such a person.
Although this person has no martial arts skills whatsoever, he has a silver tongue and a powerful ability to rally people.
Given time, he can build a team with his silver tongue.
If Chu Chen knew that Chi Yanfei had also come to Anchang with the cruise ship, he would definitely put the cruise ship into his spatial storage immediately.
The reason they didn't take them in was simply to cover their tracks. They planned to settle all these people in peace before flying back to collect them.
Just as Chi Yanfei was struggling to make his way deeper into the continent.
Chu Chen led a caravan along the official road of Anchang Kingdom for about an hour and a half.
Finally, in the afternoon, we arrived at the gate of Chu Family Village.
At the main entrance, a helicopter was parked steadily beside the gate.
Beside the helicopter were a circle of sergeants holding machine guns, ready to prevent the helicopter from taking off if it made any unusual movements.
The pilot sat calmly inside the helicopter.
Although they knew they were all androids, they wouldn't communicate without Chu Chen's orders, so they just waited for Chu Chen to arrive.
The roar of the vehicle once again startled Tiger Head and Ding Yun inside.
So the tiger-headed man put on his mask, pushed open the door, and arrived at the village entrance in a few breaths. Ding Yun arrived at the same time as him.
"Hahaha, Brother Chu, you're finally back! I've been eating roast lamb every day, I feel like I'm turning into a lamb myself."
As soon as the tiger-headed man saw Chu Chen, he walked up and gave him a tiger hug, then shouted loudly at Chu Chen.
"Brother Tiger, how about we change things up for you later and stew a tiger?"
Chu Chen pushed the tiger-headed man away and said jokingly.
"Get out of here. Come to my room and we can talk about it. I'm going back!"
After giving a brief greeting, the tiger-headed man turned back because he saw Chen Qingxuan in the crowd, who knew his background.
It wouldn't be fun if he let it slip.
