Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 436 A Challenge Arrives on Luo Zhong Island

"Xiaofang, you mean this thing... it couldn't possibly be...?"

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that? Perhaps it was the young master's doing!"

Just then, the sound of a car reached their ears.

Before the two of them could even leave, Chu Chen rushed into the courtyard.

Before he could even speak, he saw the stove on the ground.

So he asked in confusion, "Qinglian, how much did you pay for this stove?"

"Oh, young master is back. You mean this? Ten taels of silver. What's wrong?"

Chu Chen nearly dropped his jaw in shock upon hearing this, muttering under his breath, "What a swindler!"

He then said, "It's alright, this is a good item, but it's far inferior to what I got in the capital!"

After saying that, he turned around and took an identical one off the car, but the workmanship was many times better than the one Li Qinglian bought.

Seeing Chu Chen's actions, Li Qinglian immediately realized that it must have been Chu Chen who did it: "Husband, did I buy it at a high price?"

"Ten taels is nothing, it's not expensive at all. This is the last thing we need in our family."

"My lord, this thing..."

"We don't need to worry about what Zhou Shixun put together for sale; we can just wait to get our share of the profits."

Hearing Chu Chen say this, the two didn't ask any more questions and pulled Chu Chen into the house.

Upon entering the house, they found it empty except for Xiaolan and Xiaotao.

So Chu Chen asked in confusion, "Qinglian, where did the drunkard go?"

"Young Master Daoist? He was pulled back to the mountain gate by Daoist Xiaoyao."

Pulled back to the mountain gate? What's going on? Could it be that Zhu Liuxiang found out about what happened at the snow mountain and he's going back for further education?

"What about Mu Xueqin?"

"Sister Xueqin, Chunxiang, and Qiuju are at Wenxiang Pavilion."

After listening, Chu Chen didn't ask any more questions. He immediately went into the bathroom to wash away his fatigue.

.....................

Half an hour later, Chu Chen, dressed in pajamas, sat comfortably in the tea room and brewed himself a pot of tea.

He was thinking about his next plan.

There seem to be endless things to do, yet there's nothing to do at all.

After the coal business came to an end, Chu Chen remained caught between emptiness and fulfillment.

He then stood up, said a few words to Li Qinglian, and drove off to Mashan Village.

At this time, most of the villagers from Mashan Village came to Qingyun City to help Li Qinglian.

In the village, only some elderly people and children who are still in school remain.

It was unusually quiet.

Because of Chu Chen's presence, no one in Mashan Village dares to cause trouble within the territory of Qingyun City.

Therefore, the villagers lived a very comfortable and peaceful life.

Chu Chen stayed there for a few days, and being alone in the empty house, he really felt bored.

All day long, he would take Big Yellow to the surrounding mountains and forests to harm small animals.

As a result, the refrigerator was filled with wild game, which made Dahuang very picky about food.

Now, if you feed it some white rice or something without any meat, it won't even glance at it.

That day, just as Chu Chen was about to head out with his air rifle, the voice of the carefree Taoist came through the walkie-talkie.

"Young Master Chu, the Luo Zhong Island Martial Arts Tournament has invited the Great Xia to send at least five experts to participate. You cannot refuse."

Luo Zhongdao Martial Arts Tournament? What the heck?

Chu Chen did not answer his question directly, but instead asked, "Master Xiaoyao, what's going on? You've come to Qingyun?"

"That's right, I've arrived in Qingniu Town with my two good-for-nothing apprentices."

After listening, Chu Chen put down the air rifle, pushed aside the big yellow dog under his feet, and returned to the rocking chair to wait for Zhu Liuxiang's arrival.

Shortly after, a red BJ80 entered Mashan Village and came to a steady stop in front of the villa.

"Chuwazi, let's go, let's head to Luozhong Island."

"Um, Taoist priest, please tell me what happened!"

"Oh dear, what's going on? The two disciples of the Lord of Luozhong Island died in the Great Xia Dynasty. Now he has issued a challenge to the Great Xia Dynasty, and His Majesty has sent me to lead people to accept the challenge."

Luo Zhongdao Island, the island's master, and his two disciples died in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself that he was the one who killed them all. Moreover, he had captured Suo Dong at Xiong Mountain that day, and Zhu Liuxiang had seen it.

Even a fool could figure it out: Suodong died by his own hand.

In that case, it would be difficult to refuse.

So he asked, "What's fun to do on Luo Zhong Island?"

"Rest assured, Luo Zhong Island has been targeting Da Xia for a long time. His Majesty sent me with men to deal with the main force of their island lord, and then the army will follow behind us to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Chu Chen cursed inwardly after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Zhou Shixun really knows how to stir up trouble."

Now that you have a musketeer army, you've become arrogant, haven't you? You'll destroy other countries at the slightest provocation.

"Has His Majesty said what I will receive?"

Since everyone knows what he needs, Chu Chen went straight to the point and asked.

"Hmph, how could Your Majesty not have thought of that? Don't worry, Luo Zhong Island also has what you want, you won't lose out."

After listening, Chu Chen thought for a moment, then suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Luo Zhongdao has been targeting Da Xia for a long time, but why did Da Xia send five experts of the ninth rank or above?

Could it be that they're planning a diversionary tactic to lure the Great Xia away from its stronghold?

So he spoke up and expressed his doubts to Zhu Liuxiang, who agreed that they made sense.

Then he began to get anxious: "Chu boy, we have to think of a plan. Our Great Xia is a powerful nation. If we are afraid to fight and do not advance, we will be laughed at by the world."

Chu Chen gestured for the group to sit down, then glanced at the drunkard and noticed that he seemed to be having some difficulty even sitting down.

Could it be that the continuing education was conducted so thoroughly during this trip back to the temple?

Then he immediately came up with an idea: "Master Xiaoyao, I have a plan. Qingxuan and I can go there, while you stay in Daxia. I will then go and find another expert. In this way, even if he tries to lure us away from our mountain, we will not be afraid."

"You two go?"

Zhu Liuxiang immediately began to ponder after hearing this.

He knew that Chu Chen already possessed strength comparable to his own, or perhaps even a bit stronger.

Moreover, they possess incredibly skillful hidden weapons, so taking Chen Qingxuan along should ensure his safety.

If you can't beat them, you can't just run away.

So he asked, "Chuwa, are you confident?"

Chu Chen chuckled: "Let me put it this way, don't worry, Daoist Master, I know what I'm doing."

Indeed, if the opponent is too strong, we can still blast them to smithereens with our own tanks.

At worst, I can hide in my own space.

"In that case, I will send the message to His Majesty immediately."

When will the battle begin?

"Twenty days from now, Luo Zhong Island will be only half a month's journey by large ship from Linhai City of Great Xia. There is enough time."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "How can your lousy ship compare to my coast guard vessel?"

However, since he killed the person himself, he didn't need to discuss it with Zhou Shixun.

Just bring your own drunkards and storm their door.

"Master Zhu, there's no need for trouble. I have my own plans. You and Xueqin should go back."
