Chapter 1506 Street Attack: Pulling Out a Pistol
Chapter 1506 Street Attack: Pulling Out a Pistol
Yesterday, after finally getting rid of those women, and then getting rid of Dong Shilan, I went to bed early.
So I got up especially early today, thinking I had nothing to do, so I went straight to the streets to see the prosperity of the capital.
Gou Shengzi told him to stay in the courtyard. Since his martial arts skills were no less than Gou Shengzi's and he had a gun, there was little point in keeping Gou Shengzi by his side unless it was a long trip.
As Chu Chen stepped onto the streets of the capital, he was immediately drawn to its bustling atmosphere.
Indeed, Seoul is a large city, but it is still much smaller than the capital.
"Young master, come in and play for a while!"
"You open so early and work non-stop without rest. Can your bodies handle it?"
Chu Chen looked at the girls waving from the second floor and couldn't help but joke.
"Oh dear, sir, some of our sisters were all alone in their rooms last night, feeling incredibly lonely..."
Chu Chen smiled slightly and ignored him. What a joke! I wouldn't even look at what Dong Shilan sent me, let alone you.
A little while later, at a noodle stall, Chu Chen ordered the most expensive bowl of meat noodles and started chatting with the stall owner.
"Grandpa, this capital city is truly bustling. Your noodle stall must be making quite a bit of money every day!"
"Young master, you must be from out of town. Although there are many people in the capital, there are also many noodle stalls."
"Look over there, another one opened this morning."
Following the stall owner's gaze, Chu Chen looked to his left and, sure enough, a noodle stall with exceptionally booming business appeared before him.
So he said, "Yes, look, their business is pretty good, it's packed. Why don't they have a promotion?"
The stall owner shook his head as he worked: "Not bad my ass. Those people must be matchmakers he hired to make up the numbers. They haven't moved an inch all morning."
"Have you ever seen anyone eat a bowl of noodles for half an hour?"
Hmm? Something's not right... After hearing what the stall owner said, Chu Chen immediately became interested.
All I saw were people sitting at the stall, not touching their chopsticks, and glancing at me every now and then.
What's going on? Could it be that they're targeting me?
As someone who had lived for hundreds of years, Chu Chen immediately sensed a hint of danger.
A test? This was the first thought that popped into Chu Chen's mind: Dong Shilan was testing him.
But if it was a test, why would such a large group of people be needed?
Moreover, judging from their arrangements, they were clearly meticulously prepared, only they overlooked the fact that they were people who had lived for hundreds of years.
"Sir, you mean they've been eating for half an hour, and it's the same group of people, not moving an inch?"
"That's right, they're all shills. This business isn't that easy to run."
............
The old man continued to chatter on and on, but Chu Chen had no interest in engaging in such small talk. So he simply left a few copper coins and decided to return to the palace.
However, as soon as Chu Chen stood up, he saw that a person with a full head of white hair opposite him also stood up.
Moreover, it seems they're following us.
Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and turned to walk towards the gate of the capital.
There are too many people here. If a fight really breaks out, not only will it be difficult for me to maneuver, but who knows how many people they will send?
In that case, why not lure it outside and tease it a bit?
If it was Dong Shilan testing him, that would be one thing, but what if it was someone else?
Although Chu Chen believed that he had never offended anyone since arriving in the Song Kingdom, who could say for sure what enemies would become?
After all, on his very first day in this world, an old Taoist priest he disliked came to deliver pills to him.
He was also given high hopes by the Lord of the Universe, and his enemies were not only the Song Kingdom, but could be from any other world.
Chu Chen moved slowly toward the city gate, and the white-haired man behind him seemed to understand Chu Chen's thoughts and was also slowly moving toward Chu Chen.
Soon after, Chu Chen arrived at a vast, open field outside the city.
They took a side road off the main road and then stood in the middle of a field.
At this moment, the white-haired man seemed to have no scruples and walked directly in front of Chu Chen.
"You've been following me for so long, you want to kill me?"
"Boy, I have no grudge against you, but someone has paid a high price to kill you. I'm sorry to offend you!"
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that this assassin was quite polite.
However, since someone is willing to risk their life for money, it must not be a test arranged by Dong Shilan. But who has he offended in this capital city?
"Can you tell me who killed me?"
"Kid, you're about to die, what's the point of knowing so much? Besides, as a professional murderer, why would he tell you all this? Are you out of your mind?"
"Um... then tell me your name, so I can die knowing why."
Yun Shangfei nodded in agreement this time: "That's all I have to say, kid. Prepare to die!"
After saying that, Yun Shangfei drew a dagger from behind him.
Chu Chen frowned slightly after hearing this. He had never even heard of Yun Shangfei. It seemed that if he wanted to find out who killed him, Yun Shangfei couldn't die anytime soon.
"and many more!"
"What is it now? Kid, people are reluctant to die, but who told you to offend the powerful? I, Yun Shangfei, also offended the powerful, but I killed his whole family. Too bad, you don't have the chance."
After saying that, he grabbed the dagger and lunged at Chu Chen with his arms outstretched.
In Yunshangfei's eyes, the young man in front of him looked delicate and tender; how could he possibly be a master?
But the next moment, he saw the man opposite him pull out a dark object from his pocket and point it at him.
The next moment, he heard a loud bang, then felt a pain in his foot and fell to the ground.
"You...you're an expert?"
Yun Shangfei clutched his bleeding thigh and said with a heart full of despair.
Chu Chen didn't say anything, and fired another shot at Yun Shangfei's other thigh. This time, Yun Shangfei didn't even have the will to run away.
The reason he was called "Flying Above the Clouds" was because he was incredibly skilled in light-footed martial arts. Now, however, he couldn't move either of his legs, and it could be said that he had become a lamb to the slaughter.
"Do you want to live?"
Chu Chen didn't waste any more words with him, but squatted down and asked.
"Heh, who doesn't want to live!"
"Okay, tell me who's behind this, and I'll guarantee your survival and get you to a safe place so you'll never have to worry about food or clothing again."
The assassin was just an assassin; what Chu Chen was most worried about was the person behind him.
You see, he just mentioned a powerful figure, so the person behind him must be someone of high rank and great power. But apart from Tang Yun, Dong Shilan, and Eunuch Lu, I don't even know any high-ranking officials. It seems that I have offended someone unintentionally.
