Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 153 Entering the Capital to Meet the Emperor: Requesting an Island

"Then you should surround it."

Mu Xueqin felt a little lost in thought.

Ultimately, she is still a woman, no matter how strong and domineering she may be.

She could kill without hesitation, yet she also longed for that small island surrounded by water, to watch the sunrise and sunset with the man she loved.

"Alright, let's go to the capital. Are you going to continue your vacation on the beach?"

"Go to the capital? You go ahead, I'll take the two of them to relax by the sea."

Chu Chen thought to himself that it would only take two or three days to drive from here to the capital and back.

First, now that we know what the Liu family is thinking, we should go and tell Zhou Shixun.

Furthermore, once we defeat these Japanese, we must seize control of that island, even if it means buying it.

With Mu Xueqin by their side, Li Qinglian and Luo Yi should be safe.

Then I will head to the capital early tomorrow morning to see Zhou Shixun.

With Lü Rongdong's command, the large ship slowly set sail, carrying the good news of victory, towards Linhai City.

After receiving the news, Murong Huai waited for them on the shore.

As soon as the Japanese were defeated, Lü Rongdong couldn't wait to send a small boat back to deliver the message.

After all these years, Murong Huai finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The small island occupied by the Japanese was like a huge rock pressing down on his chest.

It also weighed heavily on the hearts of all the people of Linhai City.

At this moment, the Japanese were completely annihilated, and the stone was gone, causing the entire coastal city to erupt in excitement.

The large ship docked at the pier, and Murong Huai, accompanied by first-class officials and a dense crowd of people behind him, came to greet it.

Chu Chen and Mu Xueqin stood on the top of the large ship, looking down at the cheering and joyful people below.

A smile appeared on her face; perhaps this was the joy of being loved and respected.

The people carried gifts of seafood and grain.

He charged toward the soldiers.

Some of the girls signaled to the soldiers they admired that they would be going into the grove that night.

For a time, the entire city of Linhai was immersed in laughter and joy.

Murong Huai searched for Chu Chen's figure in the crowd, but he was surrounded by people.

All he could do was keep waving at Chu Chen on the high platform.

Chu Chen responded briefly, then pulled Mu Xueqin aside and quietly slipped past the crowd back into the courtyard.

Because the two were dressed in ordinary clothes, they went completely unnoticed by the enthusiastic crowd.

In the courtyard, Li Qinglian and Luo Yi finally felt relieved when they saw the two of them appear.

"Husband, Miss Xueqin, it's good to see you back. You must be tired. Go and get some rest."

Li Qinglian looked at the two people who had come as agreed and asked them with concern.

As night fell, Chu Chen held a large lobster in his hand, his mouth full of food.

Murong Huai led Lü Rongdong to the small courtyard.

“Young Master Chu, on behalf of the entire Linhai City, I would like to express my gratitude to you.”

"Alright, Lord Murong, there's no need for further thanks. Just keep your promise."

Chu Chen swallowed a mouthful of lobster meat and said calmly.

"Don't worry, I have already drafted the memorial and sent it to the capital by express courier."

"I believe that soon we will be able to be neighbors."

Murong Huai looked at Chu Chen with a happy expression.

Chu Chen gestured for them to sit down, then took out two large lobsters from behind him and handed one to each of Murong Huai and Lü Rongdong.

Then he went back to eating by himself.

After a long while, Chu Chen wiped his hands with the towel handed to him by the maid: "Lord Murong, I have to go out for a while, but they will stay here for a few days. Please take care of them."

"It's alright, the three ladies can play as long as they want. Without the Japanese, Linhai is very safe."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chu Chen saw the two out of the courtyard.

At this moment, Mu Xueqin stood directly in front of Chu Chen and asked, "Speak, what do the three ladies mean?"

This woman is having another episode; she was perfectly fine on the boat just now.

It seems I still need to think of a way to win this over.

In truth, Chu Chen had no idea what Mu Xueqin meant; she simply wanted to hear Chu Chen's attitude.

Watching Chu Chen tease Li Qinglian and Luo Yi every time he went back.

Thinking back on those scenes, Mu Xueqin felt inexplicably sad.

Chu Chen ignored her and fled the courtyard as if he were escaping.

At night, Chu Chen led the three of them to the beach, enjoying the sea breeze and walking on the soft sand.

Li Qinglian and Luo Yi unconsciously took Chu Chen's hand.

This scene made Mu Xueqin feel even worse.

So, out of sheer boredom, he drew his steel sword and stabbed the sand crab running on the beach with deadly precision.

Sand crab: What did I do to deserve this? I just came out to find something to eat, and somehow I got stabbed right through.

The next day, with the three of them watching him go, Chu Chen stepped on the gas and headed towards the capital.

For greater comfort, Chu Chen swapped the armored vehicle for a city SUV after driving a short distance.

They drove for three days before finally arriving in the capital.

They were traveling slowly in order to wait for Murong Huai's so-called urgent dispatch.

At the city gate, we saw these vehicles driving by.

The guards at the city gate opened the gate from a distance.

"Young Master Chu, it's been a while since you last visited."

The soldiers guarding the city greeted him warmly.

Chu Chen reached out and handed over a silver ingot, then smiled and drove the carriage straight to the palace gate.

After showing the token, they drove the car directly into the palace.

Outside the Imperial Study, a young eunuch led Chu Chen straight toward the Imperial Study.

"Please take a seat," Zhou Shixun said without looking up from his engrossed review of memorials.

Chu Chen plopped down in the chair without any hesitation, waiting for him to get to work.

"Tell me, I don't believe you came all this way just for the island, but you've surprised me one surprise after another."

After finishing his work, Zhou Shixun smiled and said to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen didn't say anything, but stood up and walked to his side.

He took out a phone and played the video of Liu Jin from that day.

As soon as he took out his phone, Zhou Shixun looked at Chu Chen in surprise.

He quickly asked, "How did you manage to bring people into this small...?"

"Uh, don't ask. It's exclusive, only one copy available. Take a look at the contents."

Before Zhou Shixun could finish speaking, Chu Chen explained it in advance.

Only then did Zhou Shixun look at the content on the screen.

Gradually, Zhou Shixun's eyes turned cold.

"Does the Liu family really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?"

What an emperor fears most is someone who covets his throne.

It can be said that this time, the Liu family truly made Zhou Shixun want to kill them.

The person who triggered all of this seemed to be completely detached, quietly watching Zhou Shixun from the sidelines.

After a long while, Zhou Shixun raised his head: "Nephew, what do you think about this matter?"

Upon hearing the address "nephew," Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat.

You idiot, you're really asking for trouble. You're probably not going to get away with this now.

However, his biggest backer right now is Zhou Shixun. If he gets rid of him, he'll probably be in even more trouble.
