Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 384 A Wave of the Hand Loots the Princes' Mansions

The soldiers beside them were numb; they were more like the private soldiers of the princes' mansions than soldiers.

These people are all newly recruited, not the veteran soldiers.

After making meritorious contributions under the old general, he did indeed serve the princes' mansions for several years.

But after the old generals left, seeing how Zhu Hongyi was exploiting the people, those people gradually distanced themselves from him.

He returned to his hometown, retired from military service, and resumed a normal life.

Unfortunately, Zhu Hongyi never remembered their kindness and treated them as objects of exploitation.

Therefore, these so-called princes' palace guards were all composed of a group of thugs.

They were used to bullying ordinary people by following Zhu Hongyi around, but they had never seen anything like this before.

So they all retreated.

At this moment, Zhu Hongyi watched as the people who usually protected him slowly retreated, and he suddenly felt flustered.

"Young Master Chu, you can't kill me. My father is a Grand Historian, I am His Majesty's chosen successor, and I am a prince."

“If I die, His Majesty will surely punish you, and you will not be able to escape His Majesty’s grasp.”

Chu Chen immediately became interested after hearing this, squatted down and said, "Oh, really? Then why don't you find someone to send a message to His Majesty and see what they think?"

"Ah, you really won't kill me?"

"Yeah, didn't you say you have connections? Go ahead and try to find them. You won't die these next few days, but you should suffer a bit."

After saying that, Chu Chen grabbed Zhu Hongyi and walked outside.

As he walked, he thought to himself, "I can't wait for you to inform Zhou Shixun. I want to see Zhou Shixun's attitude."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongyi instantly saw hope again and shouted outside.

"Did you hear that? Quickly send someone to the capital to deliver a message: If I die, Yao Xiuming will let you go, and the people of Yunbian will let you go?"

The subordinate agreed, saying, "That's right. We've committed many evils with Zhu Hongyi. If this big tree behind us falls, we'll be like stray dogs."

So several close subordinates quietly withdrew from the crowd, went into the house, took the tokens, and rushed out of the princes' residence.

Chu Chen ignored them and instead took out four pairs of handcuffs, handcuffing Zhu Hongyi's hands behind his back to the back of the RV.

Then he turned around and headed into the princes' mansion.

At this moment, Yao Xiuming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After receiving the maid's report, he wanted to lead his men into the Prince's Mansion to rescue the people, but he was stopped by two maids.

What Young Master Chu meant was that he should stay out of this matter.

But as the shouts of killing from next door grew louder, his heart leaped into his throat.

He understood Chu Chen's meaning perfectly well: he didn't want him to get involved in this mess. The fall of the Princes' Mansion didn't mean there weren't other forces that were with him.

If they can't get rid of Chu Chen by causing trouble, then Yao Xiuming will become their target.

Yao Xiuming was pondering the gains and losses involved.

But suddenly he slammed his hand on the table in front of him: "At worst, I'll just quit this official position. How can I put Young Master Chu in such a predicament?"

"Men, don your armor and head to the princes' residence to rescue them!"

At Yao Xiuming's command, the guards of the Yunbian City Lord's Mansion quickly formed ranks.

Wearing armor and carrying a long sword, Yao Xiuming led a group of men and charged aggressively toward the Princes' Mansion.

At this moment, Chu Chen was grabbing a man who looked like a steward and leading him toward the storeroom of the Princes' Mansion.

The man who looked like the steward walked ahead, his steps leaving wet footprints.

He kept muttering, "Young master, please don't kill me. I didn't do anything wrong. This is the first time I've met you. Please don't kill me."

"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll find another one!"

"No, no, no, young master, I know the wealth of the princes' mansions best. I'll take you there, I'll take you there!"

As the steward opened the storeroom door, Chu Chen grinned at the dazzling gold and silver treasures inside, then kicked the steward away, saying, "I'll give you time to run as far as you can."

They then closed the gates, and within five minutes, they had ransacked the entire princes' mansion, leaving not a single hair behind.

After finishing everything, Chu Chen kicked down the door and strode outside in a flurry of activity.

At that very moment, Yao Xiuming led his men into the Princes' Mansion.

When Zhu Hongyi saw Yao Xiuming arrive with his men and Chu Chen was not present, he immediately shouted.

"Lord Yao, Brother Yao, help me! Put me down and take me away!"

"If Brother Yao saves me this time, I will repay you a thousandfold. You will have endless gold and silver treasures then."

Yao Xiuming ignored Zhu Hongyi's shouting and looked around the entire Princes' Mansion.

Where could one find those once arrogant guards of the manor? Apart from some corpses on the ground and the house that Young Master Chu had ridden to that day, all that could be seen was Zhu Hongyi locked behind the house.

Chu Chen arrived at the entrance, but upon seeing Yao Xiuming lead the guards into the courtyard, he instantly concealed himself.

He wanted to see what choice this man would make after Zhu Hongyi begged for mercy.

If he chooses to go forward to save Zhu Hongyi, then this person cannot be allowed to live.

Yao Xiuming looked around but couldn't find Chu Chen. He immediately became anxious and ordered the people around him, "Go and find him! We must find Young Master Chu, alive or dead."

After the crowd dispersed, Yao Xiuming approached Zhu Hongyi and asked, "Tell me, where did you take Young Master Chu?"

“If anything happens to Young Master Chu, even ten of your heads wouldn’t be enough to chop him off.”

Zhu Hongyi felt like vomiting blood. What did he mean by asking where he had taken Young Master Chu? He was the victim, after all.

It was nothing more than having his car carried back to his residence, where he would kill people at the drop of a hat, and then being taken into custody.

"Lord Yao, Brother Yao, I don't know where that Young Master Chu went either."

"If you have a relationship with him, you'll have to plead with him for me later to stop killing me. If His Majesty punishes me, you won't be able to escape the consequences either."

"Hmph, Your Majesty's punishment? Do you think His Majesty would blame someone who holds a token of His Majesty's personal presence? He is the sworn brother of the current Eighth Prince."

"Haha, Zhu Hongyi, it's all your fault for committing so many evil deeds. Do you remember your youngest son?"

"Today, your death day has come."

After saying that, Yao Xiuming thought of his youngest daughter and the young master Chu, whom he had probably killed. He was so enraged that he grabbed his knife and slashed at Zhu Hongyi's head.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Chen exclaimed "Damn it!" thinking to himself, "Wouldn't this be too easy for him? Besides, I can kill this person myself, I can kill the people of Yunbian, but I can't kill him."

He then leaped forward and flashed to Yao Xiuming's side, using his Tetanus Blade to deflect Yao Xiuming's knife.
