Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 329 Meeting the King at the Japanese Imperial Palace

Upon entering the inn, Toraya Yuto seemed to suddenly remember something and muttered to himself, "The Great Xia envoy, with ten people, suddenly came to my Japan. Could it be that he has other intentions? No, I must inform the guards of this city as soon as possible."

After saying that, he got up and prepared to return to the city gate.

For him, if this young master Chen were to have other intentions and be discovered by his report, then his life would be in danger.

But just as he stood up and took a few steps toward the door, he suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat.

Looking down, he discovered a dagger stuck in his chest.

Seeing that Hu Gu Yongdou's body had gone limp, Chu Yi immediately drew his dagger and said to Chu San beside him, "You're strong, you take him away."

"Alright, bro, leave the dirty work to me."

After saying that, he picked up the body, and with a few leaps, left the inn and headed towards the nearby mountains and forests.

Meanwhile, the innkeeper, who lived far away by the sea, suddenly died at home for unknown reasons.

Right now, the family is having a lively feast, with lots of banging and noise.

Chu Chen was currently following those officials toward a huge palace.

As Chu Chen walked, he looked around at the layout and buildings.

If things don't work out, just blast him.

Soon after, Chu Chen was arranged to wait in a square-shaped house.

The house was surrounded by a grid made of paper.

Inside the room, a maid was brewing tea, and some snacks were laid out on the table.

Everything looked clean and comfortable, the only problem was that there were no chairs.

Chu Chen didn't stand on ceremony with him, dragging over a low table and plopping down on it.

The maid looked up at Chu Chen with a smile, then said in fluent Da Xia language, "Young master, please have some tea."

Chu Chen looked at the contents of the teacup and took out a bottle of green tea from his backpack.

"No need, I'll drink this!"

The maid looked at the bottle in Chu Chen's hand with great interest, appearing as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Chu Chen took out another bottle from his backpack: "Here, take this, it's delicious!"

The maid was momentarily bewildered; this young master from Great Xia seemed quite easy to talk to.

Isn't Daxia a great power? The envoys who came here should be very arrogant, so why are they like this?

But seeing Chu Chen's smiling face, the maidservant secretly reached out and took the bottle of green tea.

Then, holding the green tea, unsure of what to do, Chu Chen had no choice but to open it for her.

In this era, there are no screws yet; how could a maid in this deep palace possibly open this green tea?

"Here, have a sip, and you'll never drink this stuff again."

The maid didn't speak, but took a small sip, and suddenly her eyes became clear.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a man who looked shorter than the other Japanese walked in.

He was accompanied by two beautiful women.

"Haha, this must be the distinguished guest who has come from afar. I am the ruler of this Japan, Kato Kagi."

Chu Chen felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

However, this old fellow in front of us is quite good at putting on a show. The soldiers outside all call him Emperor, but his self-introduction is very humble. A ruler and an emperor are not the same thing.

"Chu Chen of Great Xia greets Lord Kato! I never expected that Lord Kato speaks the Great Xia language so well!"

If the other party is polite, then you should also be polite in return.

"Haha, you flatter me. The Great Xia has always been something I look up to, so I am very interested in its culture. I heard from my subordinates that you are not surnamed Chen?"

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, you only recognize this one thing."

After saying that, Chu Chen took out the golden token that Zhou Shixun had given him.

Kato Yan took a look and immediately handed it back to Chu Chen with both hands.

"What position does the Chu envoy hold in the Great Xia Palace?"

After looking at the token in Chu Chen's hand, Kato Yan asked another question.

Chu Chen couldn't really say what his position was, but he couldn't very well tell him that he was just an ordinary citizen.

Then, with a smile, he looked at Kato Yan and said, "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince Zhou Heng calls me 'younger brother'!"

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, Kato Yan fell into deep thought.

Immediately, he beamed and said, "Haha, so it's Young Master Chu here. Young Master Chu is no ordinary person in this Great Xia."

Upon hearing Kato Yan's tone, Chu Chen immediately became wary.

"Lord Kato, do you recognize me?"

"To be honest, our Japan also has scholars who travel the world and have naturally visited Great Xia. Young Master Chu is renowned for his literary and military talents. As the ruler of Japan, I have naturally heard of him."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen began to ponder, thinking to himself that it seemed the Great Xia was not an all-pervasive place after all.

As far as I know, if the Japanese were to enter Great Xia by sea, the only place they could land was Linhai City.

So how did these people get into the Great Xia? Linhai City was under the management of Lü Rongdong and Murong Huai, and these Japanese ships couldn't even land, let alone in the near sea.

But then he realized that while the Great Xia Dynasty didn't have much coastline, it had plenty of land borders.

If Kato Yan wants to send someone to Daxia, that's too easy. He can go through Wutuo or other neighboring countries of Daxia.

However, one thing is certain: Kato Yan is keeping a close eye on Great Xia, but he doesn't know if Great Xia has sent anyone to Japan.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen didn't take it seriously and said to Kato Yan, "Your Majesty is too kind. I just made a little money."

"Haha, Young Master Chu is too modest. May I ask if Young Master Chu has come to Japan on His Majesty's orders?"

What kind of mission is this? I came here to steal your jade anyway.

Since Kato Kaname knows his own identity, he should also know that he is the one who caused all the Japanese warships to sink.

And yet he's right in front of me, and he can still chat and laugh so easily. I wonder what kind of mischief he's up to.

So, without revealing his true feelings, he said to Kato Kaname, "My lord, I have come from afar and am somewhat tired. How about we discuss this mission in detail tomorrow?"

"It's alright, then Young Master Chu, go and rest first. We'll stay here again tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen waved his hand and a voice recorder appeared. He turned it on and placed it under the cushion beneath his buttocks.

Then he stood up, bowed to Kato Kaname, and followed the maid who had just brewed tea out of the room.

After Chu Chen left, Kato Yan waved his hand, and a man in black carrying a long sword appeared behind the screen.

"Shadow, investigate how this person entered our Japan!"
