Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1192 Imperial Power Obstructs New Reforms

However, as soon as they entered, they saw that the door to the room was wide open, and they could hear some indescribable sounds coming from inside.

Upon hearing this, the city lord immediately thought, "This is bad! My Golden Lotus!"

So he shouted and led everyone in.

Upon entering and seeing the scene before him, the city lord nearly fainted.

He saw what he saw: his subordinates were performing to their hearts' content, while Jinlian wore an expression of enjoyment.

He was muttering something about being more powerful than the city lord.

Seeing this, he no longer cared about Chu Chen or not, and led a group of people directly into the iron cage that Chu Chen had cut open.

"You bastards, what are you doing?"

The soldiers behind him, fearing for the safety of the city lord, also filed in. Fortunately, the iron cage was large enough to fit all thirty of them inside at once.

Jinlian was enjoying an unprecedented level of strength when she suddenly heard the city lord's voice and immediately shut her mouth in fright.

The others were also quite frightened.

Ignoring her empty body, Jinlian cried out, "My lord, my lord, these beasts... have humiliated me! My lord, you must stand up for me!"

The city lord glanced at Jinlian with disdain, then said to the people behind him, "Take them all down!"

"Wait a minute, why are you all chained up? Where's Chu Chen?"

Only then did they remember that they had originally come to capture and eliminate Chu Chen.

Upon being asked this question by the city lord, everyone realized what was happening and immediately knelt down before him: "My lord, we were ordered to apprehend Chu Chen, but he is incredibly powerful and has already... has already escaped!"

"Escape?"

The city lord was furious. Another bunch of useless fools. Did he think that with so many men, he couldn't catch two brats?

There was no large army around them!

"Useless, a bunch of useless people. Not only did they escape, but they were also locked up. Is he a god? How could he have such abilities?"

He wasn't stupid. As the city lord, he immediately realized that they had definitely been countered by Chu Chen.

As for shooting Jinlian, it was probably because they were forced by Chu Chen. But so what? If they dare to lay a finger on my woman, then they have no reason to live in this world.

Moreover, if this matter gets out, how will he maintain his authority over his subordinates?

However, just as everyone was feeling angry and confused, they suddenly heard a cracking sound behind them.

And a few soft popping sounds.

When the city lord turned around, he was shocked to find that the iron cage door had been locked from the inside by a young master, and all the soldiers he had stationed outside were dead.

Everyone's hearts sank. They thought they were doomed. They had planned to use this iron cage to imprison this person and then use it to curry favor with their superiors.

Unexpectedly, he locked it from the inside.

Now, aren't we just like fish on a chopping block, completely at their mercy?

Originally, he received orders from his superiors to capture Chu Chen alive, so he came up with the idea of ​​using his mistress, whom he had kept for many years, to lure Chu Chen into a trap, and then send soldiers to arrest him.

In this way, not only will Chu Chen be captured alive, but he can also be falsely accused of abducting a woman at any time, and then publicize it to everyone.

Chu Chen is basically finished.

Unexpectedly, he turned the tables on them.

"You are Chu Chen?" As the lord of a city, he remained relatively calm and asked Chu Chen.

"That's right, you're the city lord of this city? But if a fool like you can be the city lord, then everyone in the world can be a city lord."

After dealing with the people outside, Chu Chen brought over a chair, sat down at the door, and said with a smile.

"Chu Chen, do you know what crime you have committed?"

"You have illegally imprisoned an official, which is a grave offense of disrespect. Once I get out, I will definitely report this to His Majesty and have you executed!"

A crime? Chu Chen sneered as he listened.

"May I ask the city lord, what is the punishment for plotting to frame someone who has made great contributions to humanity?"

"Moreover, I am not from your city, and your city's laws have no effect on me. Today you have offended me, so you must bear the consequences."

After saying that, he raised his gun, aimed at one of the men next to him, and shot him down.

Seeing his lifeless subordinate lying beside him, his heart skipped a beat, and he completely panicked.

Yes, he only received orders from above to arrest Chu Chen, and it has not yet been announced to the world.

If this guy turns the tables and tries to shift the blame, I doubt the higher-ups will take the fall.

You must understand that Chu Chen's heroic deeds outside the city have won the hearts of those lowly commoners. In order to better enslave them, the higher-ups will definitely not do anything to Chu Chen on the surface. Wouldn't that make me the scapegoat?

If I had caught him, that would have been fine, but right now I'm being countered by him, so the power of the conversation is in his hands, isn't it?

"Um...Young Master Chu, what do you intend to do?"

Thinking of this, his tone softened considerably.

This kid in front of me is really capable of killing people, and he killed me, so I have no way to reason with him.

"Heh, you've figured it out? Then let the people behind you continue. As for you, tell me properly who's behind this."

Upon hearing this, the city lord immediately turned to look at the few people behind him who had just been working in the fields.

"What are you all standing there for? Keep going."

"Ah... Lord City Lord?"

"What do you mean, 'ah'? Didn't you hear Young Master Chu's instructions?"

After saying that, he urged his men to unleash a barrage of attacks on Jinlian.

Then he walked to the iron gate and said, "Young Master Chu, I had no choice. I received orders from above to invite you to the City Lord's Mansion for a meeting. I was afraid you wouldn't come, so I resorted to this despicable means. Young Master Chu, please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"

Chu Chen shook his head after listening: "Let's get down to business. I'm not stupid!"

After saying that, Chu Chen raised the gun in his hand towards his head.

The city lord panicked immediately: "Young Master Chu, I'll talk, I'll talk! It was His Majesty who ordered me to do this. He said that if you enter the city and incite the common people to revolt, it will threaten the imperial power."

"Moreover, the young master's concept of equality for all has shaken the very foundation of the nation!"

"Right now, those lowly commoners are eagerly awaiting your arrival, so His Majesty... is afraid!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening, which somewhat aligned with his own thoughts: "What about Yang Yan? Did he say anything?"

"Young Master, Envoy Yang is a high and mighty deity; he wouldn't concern himself with such matters, so His Majesty..."

He dared not say what came next. His Majesty wanted to kill him, and he was afraid that if he spoke, the man would kill him immediately.
