Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 922 The Two Major Forces Surrender

"Hehe, I'll definitely take you to see it if I have the chance!"

Chu Chen and Sha Yanyan walked side by side, and as they talked, they remembered that place from the past.

However, Chu Chen understood that even after he became a saint and returned to that place, everything would probably be different!

"Then it's settled!"

Sha Yanyan seemed to notice the change in Chu Chen's expression, replied with a single sentence, and then fell silent.

Just then, Ba Tiancheng rushed to Chu Chen's side in a panic.

"Damn it, we've got people outside! What are you two doing here? Come with me and get those old men!"

After saying that, she pulled Chu Chen along and headed towards the city gate.

At that very moment, Fee and Guan Chuan, along with the others, also began to gather at the city gate.

A short while later, Chu Chen stood on the city wall, looking at a procession of carriages and horses outside, and looked at Ba Tiancheng with a puzzled expression.

"What's going on? Who are they?"

"How the hell should I know? But he doesn't look like a good person!"

Just as the two were wondering what was going on, two people stepped out from the group.

"Liu Dachun from Tianmen Ridge and Guangyang from Huben Mountain pay their respects to the City Lord!"

Tianmenling and Huben Mountain? Aren't these two other bandit groups? It seems I guessed right; they'll be coming to curry favor soon. These two are both smart men!

Before Chu Chen could speak, Fee, who was coughing, spoke up.

"You two old geezers, what wicked intentions do you have for coming here today?"

"However, I advise you two to give up any thoughts of resistance as soon as possible. Our city lord is not someone you can touch!"

As soon as Fei finished speaking, Guangyang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Fei, you're wrong. The city lord has just arrived in the desert, and my brother and I have wanted to visit him for a long time. We were busy with worldly affairs, so we only had time today. We didn't have any bad intentions."

At this moment, Liu Dachun also came out: "Lord City Lord, we live on the mountain and don't have anything good, so we brought you two carts of local specialties and silver. Please accept them!"

Chu Chen's brow twitched immediately after hearing this.

Local specialties, silver—this guy's a real big spender.

Then he turned to Fee and asked, "Senior Fee, is silver abundant where they live?"

"Hehe, Lord City Lord, you overestimate them. If this carriage is full of silver, then it means they are quite sincere!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself that if they wanted him to avoid attacking, they would have to bleed a little.

"Thank you both. Please come inside and talk!"

Since they've already paid us, we can't appear heartless, can we? Besides, in the end, it's the ordinary people who suffer in war.

While the Desert City is under construction, if things can remain stable, then let's avoid any more disputes!

Chu Chen had investigated and found that these two territories were some distance from the city. As long as they didn't harass the people in the future, he would let them live.

Inside the study, Fei and the others sat behind Chu Chen, while Liu Dachun and Guangyang sat opposite them.

Behind them were boxes and boxes of silver, and about twenty pretty young women.

"Lord City Lord is wise and mighty. From this day forward, Tianmen Ridge and Huben Mountain are willing to submit to your command. We beg you, Lord City Lord, to grant us a way out!"

The two men looked at Chu Chen and immediately explained their purpose.

Furthermore, pointing to the things behind him, he said, "We are all poor people who were forced to become bandits by Zuo Yunxiong. We beg the city lord to consider that we have never robbed ordinary people and give us a place to live in the desert city."

"This money, along with the girls behind me, was all contributed by everyone. Please accept it with a smile!"

Facing the two people in front of him, Chu Chen turned to Ba Tiancheng and Fei Ai and asked, "What do you think?"

At this moment, Benhu stepped forward: "Lord City Lord, although they have done some bad things over the years, they have not harassed ordinary people. I suggest that you consider incorporating them into your ranks!"

Chu Chen pretended to think for a moment, then said to Ba Tiancheng.

"Brother Ba, you are a general of the Desert Army, so this matter is entrusted to you!"

After saying that, Chu Chen stood up and walked out with Sha Yanyan.

To be honest, Chu Chen no longer takes these two forces seriously.

Even if they have bad intentions, so what? With Fee and the other three around, they can't cause any trouble. But once they provoke me...

Without him having to lift a finger, Ba Tiancheng and his soldiers would wipe them all out.

Therefore, it's best to leave this matter to Ba Tiancheng.

Furthermore, Chu Chen wouldn't accept the silver and the girls. Although Ba Tiancheng and the others were sent by Sha Jinrui, he wouldn't be foolish enough to be stingy with the benefits he deserved.

After Chu Chen left, Ba Tiancheng immediately understood Chu Chen's meaning and spoke to the two of them.

"You two are also veterans of Desert City, and can be considered to be of the same generation as Senior Fei and the others."

"But our city lord is ultimately the person designated by the domain lord, so I will accept this on his behalf. As for you, go back and wait for my news."

As soon as Ba Tiancheng finished speaking, Liu Dachun and Guangyang both breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems we've passed this hurdle.

Even if things went badly, at least the brothers' lives were saved. Zuo Yunxiong's 300,000-strong army was wiped out by the city lord, and they had no intention of resisting at all.

So the two families discussed it and then risked bringing gifts to each other to seek peace.

Surprisingly, it worked!

After seeing the two off, Ba Tiancheng returned to his study and divided all the silver among himself. Fei Ai and the other three, as well as Sha Yanyan, each received a considerable amount.

"Little Tyrant, if you do this, what will the City Lord say!"

"Hehe, don't worry, his meaning is very clear: these things are compensation for our hard work during this period!"

Meanwhile, Sha Yanyan and Chu Chen walked up the back mountain.

Looking at the man beside her, the inexperienced Sha Yanyan suddenly felt a strange sensation in her heart.

"Chu Chen, after the Great Desert City is completed, you must work hard to improve your cultivation!"

"Don't worry, even if I don't become a saint, I'll stay in this desert city and not leave!"

"Hehe, the person Grandpa has chosen will definitely succeed, but we'll have to part ways on the day he becomes a saint!"

Hints, damn it, more hints, but I'm not in the mood to talk about these things right now.

This isn't Hong Langman, and Sha Yanyan isn't a prostitute. She's Sha Jinrui's granddaughter. I'm still weak, and if Sha Jinrui uses this as an excuse to hunt me down, I'm doomed.

Therefore, when you are not strong enough, you have to endure many things.

"Thank you for your concern, Yan Yan. There's a long road ahead, and who can say for sure what the future holds? Right now, my most important task is to open up a passage between Desert City and the outside world, so let's talk about some things later."
