Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1519 Ruthless Mountain Bandits Test Their Guns

Just as Chu Chen was pondering this matter, Gou Shengzi's voice came from ahead.

"Oh, let's not alert them. This is a good opportunity to test the power of my new weapon."

Having received Chu Chen's order, Gou Shengzi drove the carriage slowly as if nothing had happened.

As night fell, the group arrived at the foot of a mountain.

"Brother Chen, we can't go into the mountains. Let's set up camp here when it gets dark!"

Chu Chen nodded. As the carriage stopped, he got off and looked around. Then he instructed Gou Shengzi and the others to cook a meal.

If nothing unexpected happens, someone will make a move tonight.

This place is flat, with nothing obstructing the view; in such an environment, anyone who comes here is bound to fall...

Soon after, the aroma of meat wafted through the camp. The few people driving the carts behind them had bought the meat on short notice; they had originally thought that they would be able to eat their fill on the way to Seoul.

Unexpectedly, the owner, who had become quite famous in Tonglai during this period, filled each of their bowls with a full bowl of meat.

"Boss, the food here is so good! I'm afraid that if I get used to it, there won't be any left to eat."

"Don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, you won't go hungry. You've all eaten your fill, and there's more if you're still hungry. After you've eaten, you'll take turns on guard duty tonight. Tonight won't be peaceful."

Chu Chen looked at the men driving the carriage and the guards carrying knives, and gave them his instructions with a serious expression.

Upon hearing that there was something going on that night, the men all became incredibly enthusiastic and pledged their loyalty.

"Don't worry, boss. Any thieves will have to get past us brothers first. You can rest easy for a while."

"Hehe, if thieves are coming, just let me know in advance. We won't send you to risk your lives unless it's absolutely necessary. Every one of your lives is precious."

Are all lives incredibly precious? After hearing Chu Chen's words, the group felt like they were dreaming.

Is this something a respectable business owner would say?

You have to understand, these people were all slaves, sold into servitude, bought for a one-time transaction, just to get that money so that their families could live a better life.

When a person is willing to betray themselves, they have already prepared for death.

Unexpectedly, the boss said that everyone's life is extremely precious. Does that mean that we are just as precious as those gentlemen in the city?

In an instant, everyone holding the bowl of meat knelt down in front of Chu Chen.

"Hey. What are you doing?"

"You all need to live well to work for me, right? You're all grown men, so stop being sentimental. If I see any of you slacking off, you'll be punished just the same."

"Rest assured, sir. Today you have treated us as human beings, so we will swear to be loyal to you to the death."

Chu Chen was secretly delighted; this was exactly the effect he wanted.

A battle tonight is probably unavoidable, so it's better to keep these people around to inform us.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chu Chen climbed into the carriage and fell into a deep sleep.

The carriage was spacious, allowing Chu Chen to stretch out his entire body while sleeping. Moreover, the interior was luxuriously decorated, and before long, Chu Chen drifted off to sleep.

As night fell, Gou Shengzi saw that Chu Chen hadn't gotten up, so he didn't call him either. Instead, he led the others to have another meal of meat.

Incidentally, everyone was also given a glass of wine, not to get drunk, but to give them courage.

It was late at night, and the surroundings were pitch black. A campfire was burning next to Chu Chen's camp, illuminating the area.

Gou Shengzi lay sprawled on the roof of the carriage, while several hired guards took turns keeping watch, their eyes fixed on the surrounding darkness.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the room, which immediately alerted the guards.

The patrolmen immediately and quietly woke up everyone who was resting: "Get up quickly, something's up."

After saying that, everyone perked up, drew their knives from their waists, and looked toward the darkness.

The next moment, similar sounds came from other directions, followed by two, three, four...

"Oh no! Quickly notify the boss, we're surrounded!"

Just after that man shouted, another guard quickly came to Chu Chen's carriage: "Master, wake up quickly, we are surrounded."

Chu Chen woke up immediately upon hearing the shouts.

Then he took out the submachine gun from under the pillow, loaded it, and jumped out of the carriage.

At this moment, Gou Shengzi jumped down from the roof of the carriage, holding a knife and blocking Chu Chen's way.

Before long, they saw that torches had been lit in all directions.

Illuminated by the firelight, a force of over a hundred men completely surrounded their camp.

With a cold face, Gou Shengzi asked the man in the middle who seemed to be their leader, "Who are you? You dare to rob a royal carriage? Do you have a death wish?"

Chu Chen didn't speak, but coldly sized up these people. In the darkness, each of them wore a mask, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

Are these people trying to silence us?

"Haha, I heard that Lord Chu spent a lot of money to create a kind of white sugar in Tonglai. It is extremely precious. It should be the thing on the carriage."

"A dark and windy night is the perfect time for murder and robbery, so how could we be left out... Never mind, you wouldn't know our names anyway."

"Today, there is only one way out: we will take the goods and Lord Chu with us, and you will all die."

After saying that, he raised his long sword and swung it. All the people surrounding him drew all sorts of weapons and rushed towards Chu Chen and his group.

Chu Chen hadn't expected that these people would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement; it was something that farmers would never do.

Even at their worst, these people are still ruthless bandits who have long been hiding in the mountains, killing and robbing.

So he immediately shouted at Gou Shengzi and the others, "All of you, squat down for me!"

Upon hearing this, the dog immediately stretched out its hands and tackled the guards blocking its way to the ground.

The guards didn't know, but he knew all too well.

The weapon that Brother Chen has that makes a "rat-a-tat-tat" sound can kill anyone it points at.

If you accidentally die at the hands of your own employer, there's nowhere to seek justice.

"Dog Master, what's wrong with you........."

The servants originally wanted to draw their swords and fight the bandits, but unexpectedly, Gou Shengzi tackled them to the ground.

So they asked in confusion, but before they could finish speaking, they heard a deafening rattling sound behind them.

As these sounds rang out, the bandits on the other side fell to the ground one after another, letting out painful howls.
