Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1194 Assassination Attack Outside the Capital Gate

At the emperor's command, a murmur of discussion immediately arose among the crowd below.

Some say they simply sent a large army to wipe them out.

Some people said it should be done in secret, and that the messenger Yangyan should not know about it.

That was Yang Yan's disciple. If they killed his disciple, and Yang Yan disregarded the rules and punished them directly, who could bear that?

As for the secret assassination, some say it was done by a powerful person, some say it was done with poison, and some say it was done to ruin his reputation.

The imperial court at this moment no longer resembled an imperial court; it was practically a killing hall.

The emperor looked at the group of ministers below, his lips twitching, thinking to himself, "What kind of despicable and shameless people have I raised?"

However, after half a day, no good agreement had been reached, so he could only send these people home.

After everyone left, he beckoned to a follower who was hiding in the shadows.

"Over the years, how far have your martial arts skills progressed?"

"Your Majesty, in terms of strength, there are only a handful of forces in the entire Taiping Dynasty that can defeat me."

"Are you confident that you can secretly kill Chu Chen and those around him?"

"I am willing to share Your Majesty's burdens!"

After saying that, he walked out of the main hall, returned to his room, changed into a chivalrous outfit, and rode his horse straight in the direction Chu Chen had come from.

Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan were driving casually towards the capital city amidst the puzzled and frightened gazes of the crowd.

Since they already knew I was there, and they were all planning to kill me in secret.

Why not be more high-profile and expose yourself directly? That way, they'll have some reservations about killing you secretly, and they certainly won't dare to do it in the street.

If we do it secretly, it will only make things easier for them.

"Changgen, did you used to work in the fields like these people?"

Chu Chen, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, pointed at the people working by the roadside and spoke.

“That’s right, young master. Those days were unbearable to recall. Those people were vicious and never treated us lowly commoners as human beings.”

"The poor little girl was taken away by them after she grew up, and now there's been no news of her."

When talking about the past, Changgen looked dejected again.

Chu Chen lit a cigarette and handed it to them: "Don't worry, one day I will make sure that all these people are farming their own land and that all the harvest is their own."

"No one will dare to bully you anymore."

Seeing Chu Chen's serious expression, Changgen felt a renewed sense of anticipation.

“Young master, if you go to the fields and call out to them now, I’m sure everyone will follow you.”

Chu Chen shook his head after hearing this, thinking to himself that it wasn't that easy to overthrow a dynasty; it wasn't something that could be done in a day or two.

These people have been enslaved for so long that their inherent weakness makes them completely unable to muster the will to resist, so this matter must be handled slowly.

Of course, the quickest way is to use androids or bring in people from outside.

Even if this dynasty is overthrown, another one will still emerge, so it doesn't really mean much.

Those who conquer the country will rise up and, in turn, defecate and urinate on the heads of others.

Therefore, to bring about change, force and education are equally important.

This matter needs to be discussed in the long term.

So he ignored Changgen's question and instead asked, "Do you still keep in touch with the people you used to work with?"

"Yes, I sometimes sneak back to see them and bring them some food or something."

"Oh, is nobody doing anything about this?"

"No, young master, everyone is very obedient, because those who disobeyed were killed!"

After speaking, Changgen let out a long sigh, seemingly grieving for their fate.

Chu Chen frowned upon hearing this. This was not a good thing. These people had been completely enslaved and had no will to resist.

It seems my career has a long way to go!

So the first step is to do something big to show everyone, and bombing the palace is the best choice.

Let the world know that the so-called imperial power is not unbreakable.

"Don't worry, the sun will rise one day."

Since there are not many literate people in the world, it is unrealistic to publish books to promote and win over the masses.

A god once said, "With weapons in hand, I have the world at my command."

Therefore, everything still has to be obtained through force.

Along the way, Chu Chen chatted with Chang Gen, gaining a deeper understanding of the world.

Although this place is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital, the distance has been shortened considerably thanks to the vehicles.

Half a month later, Chu Chen looked at the enormous city in front of him, got out of the car, and stretched lazily.

However, not long after he got out of the car, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the air, startling Chu Chen.

Before he could react, an arrow pierced his chest.

Because he was wearing armor, ordinary arrows were like scratching an itch through a boot, causing no harm to Chu Chen, only startling him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qingxuan immediately chased after the arrows in the forest.

"Who the hell? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me."

This scene also startled the assassin sent by the emperor. Just who was this guy?

You should know that even the top experts would not be able to dodge or block his full-force arrow, yet he blocked it so easily.

It must be precious armor; this person has precious armor protecting him.

He had already discovered Chu Chen and his group's whereabouts, but their metal boxes were moving incredibly fast, so he kept stopping and starting as he chased them, never getting a chance to strike.

I finally found an opportunity, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

So he jumped onto his horse and tried to escape.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a soft sound came from the air, and his horse collapsed and died.

At this moment, Chu Chen, standing opposite him, held a black pole and said, "Run! If you dare to take a single step, the horse's fate will be your fate. Are you so arrogant that you're stronger than a horse?!"

Oh no, he realized. Rumor had it that this person was most skilled with large weapons, and he never expected to run into him.

He dared not make any rash moves and stood still, only to be subdued by Chen Qingxuan who rushed over.

The next moment, he saw Chu Chen take out a pair of silver bracelets and directly handcuff him to a big tree.

"Just one question: who sent you?"

Chu Chen looked at the man in front of him and asked directly.

As a loyal bodyguard of His Majesty, he could not reveal even a hint of his true intentions: "Hmph, you lowly commoner, if I can't kill you today, I admit defeat. Do with me as you please!"

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this and winked at Chen Qingxuan.

"Hey, you drunkard, let's see if this guy will speak up if he becomes a eunuch."
