Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 638 Leading the Villagers into the Imperial City

But the next moment, the leading man let out a howl and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, someone appeared beside the little girl.

"Are you government officials?"

Chu Chen looked at the man who was lying on the ground and roaring and asked coldly.

"Ah, who are you? What brings you here!"

"Heh, who I am is not important, but I want to ask, why do the government officials treat their own people like this?"

Chu Chen held the Glock in his hand and looked coldly at the man in front of him.

If you told Chu Chen that the group in front of him were government officials, he would never believe it even if you beat him to death. If they were, then there would be no need for the government to exist.

The leading man looked at Chu Chen warily, noticing that he was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a very powerful aura.

So he lowered his voice and said, "Young master, every year we are ordered by our superiors to come here to collect grain. If we have no grain, we will use girls to pay off the debt. This has been the rule for many years. Please do not meddle in other people's business."

"Heh, who made the rules?"

"It's...it's our leader...our Shangguan!"

After listening, Chu Chen was completely certain: they were just a bunch of bandits.

So he raised his hand towards the man and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

After seeing their leader killed, everyone panicked. After a brief moment of stunned silence, they all scattered and fled.

Chu Chen wasn't about to give them a chance, and he chased after the fleeing crowd.

Then, to Niu Er's and his companions' horrified gaze, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, these people had all turned into cold corpses.

At this moment, Niu Er finally realized, "Brother Chu, we've gotten ourselves into trouble, really into trouble!"

Chu Chen understood what he was thinking, so he stepped forward to comfort him, "Don't worry, Brother Niu, it's alright. With me, Chu Chen, here, no one will be able to cause you any trouble."

Niu Er remained unmoved after hearing this, and said sadly, "Brother Chu, you will leave one day, but we... we still have children, and women!"

Chu Chen frowned after hearing this, then looked at the group of people.

They probably developed this personality because they were used to being bullied. But it's understandable. What they're worried about is that if they leave, and things are exposed tomorrow, the whole village will probably be trampled to pieces.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen sighed and thought to himself that he should see this good deed through to the end.

So he said, "It's alright, I'll take you to the city. These people aren't government officials, they're bandits. You've all been fooled."

"Once we get to the city, I will settle you down there, and you will be able to say goodbye to these hard times."

After listening, Niu Er looked at Chu Chen with a puzzled expression, then turned to look at the old clan leader.

After pondering for a moment, the old clan chief walked up to Chu Chen and said, "Young man, why do you want to help us?"

"Hehe, that's because your simplicity touched me, and besides, money means nothing to me!"

After saying that, Chu Chen took out two gold bars from his backpack.

"Ah, gold? This...this is gold?"

Upon seeing the gold, the old clan chief immediately shouted to the villagers.

Niu Er and the others also gathered around. Apart from the old clan chief who had seen gold when he was young, no one in the entire village had ever seen this thing before.

So everyone looked on with curiosity.

Chu Chen wasn't stingy either. With a slight smile, he handed two gold bars to Niu Er: "Brother Niu Er, feel this. This should be enough for our village to settle down in the city."

Niu Er didn't say anything; he hadn't even had a proper look at the gold yet.

The old clan chief chimed in, "Young Master Chu, this is far too much for you. We've met a benefactor!"

After listening, Chu Chen thought to himself, "Who knows who is whose benefactor? If I hadn't met you, how could I have come to know this continent so well?"

Therefore, many things in the world are interconnected.

So he quickly said, "Elder Chief, you're too kind. It was nothing at all!"

"Young Master Chu, it was just a small favor for you, but for us, it saved the lives of our entire village!"

After saying that, he led the entire village to kneel down and kowtow repeatedly to Chu Chen.

For them, if they didn't leave, the village would basically be slaughtered. But if they did leave, with their meager resources, the entire village probably wouldn't even be able to reach the city.

"Alright, Elder Chief, Brother Niu Er, now that this matter is settled, let's pack our things and set off!"

When Chu Chen killed the first bandit, he made up his mind to take them away.

To be honest, they are too weak living here. This year is over, what about next year, and the year after?

They can't keep having girls to deal with those bandits.

I don't understand this world right now, and I don't dare to do anything reckless, but taking them away would be relatively easy.

I believe that once they get to the city, as long as I have money, I can ensure they live a stable life.

Another point is that it allowed him to have his first group of people on this continent.

After listening, the old clan chief and Niu Er nodded and turned to the crowd, saying, "Everyone, we can no longer stay in Niu Family Village. Even without Young Master Chu today, we cannot withstand the disaster of them coming to collect our grain every year."

"So, everyone go home and pack your things. Just bring some valuables and food."

At the two men's command, everyone went into their own huts.

In less than half a day, everyone came out. Most of them had a bag on their backs, which probably contained some clothes or the like.

As for silver, not many people have it.

Immediately afterwards, they tied the grain to the cart, and Niu Er led the way, heading towards the city.

According to the old clan chief, the imperial city is about 300 li away from here, and it takes quite a while to get there.

Chu Chen was arranged to ride in a carriage because the long journey was too arduous, and as a distinguished guest, he deserved to receive special treatment.

Chu Chen did not refuse this arrangement. In fact, as long as he provided a larger car, he could take them to the capital city quickly.

But this is my first time on this continent. What if there are powerful beings here? Secondly, there are no roads. Even carriages can only travel slowly in many places.

So, after the idea briefly crossed his mind, he rejected it.

I don't mind taking this little bit of time; it's good to travel all the way so I can get a better look at this continent.

So, at Niu Er's command, a team of thirty or forty people slowly made their way toward the imperial city!
