Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 741 Anchang Just Stabilized, Border Chaos

Tiger looked at the burly man in front of him and thought to himself, "Great! So many helpers have come. These fields are now settled."

Just as he was worrying about these fields, the people from the Chu Family Chamber of Commerce left.

With such vast tracts of farmland remaining in Chujia Village, relying solely on the people from Mashan Village would surely exhaust them.

"Haha, welcome Brother Niu Er and everyone to Chu Family Village. I am the village chief of Chu Family Village, and everyone calls me Tiger!"

Chu Chen rolled his eyes at him after hearing this, thinking to himself, "Is your own name so embarrassing?"

However, in order to maintain his authority as village chief, he was not exposed.

So he said, "Alright, Brother Niu Er, Brother Hu Zi, you two discuss the rest yourselves. I'm sleepy..."

After saying that, he headed towards his villa area.

Niu Er looked respectfully in the direction Chu Chen had left, then looked up at the luxurious villa on the mountain, his eyes filled with envy.

"Hey, Brother Tiger, our young master lives over there!"

"That's right, that's where he lives, but there's nothing to envy about it. We live just as well as he does."

After saying that, he glanced at the villa with a disdainful look, and then led a large group of people toward the west side of the village.

A month later, Chu Chen stood on the rooftop of the villa, playing with Xiao Fang in his hand, and looking down at the figures working in the fields below.

"Xiaofang, look at this, this is what a village should look like!"

"Young master, are you talking about farming? Xiao Fang knows how to do it, why don't we go too..."

Seeing Chu Chen's interested expression, Xiao Fang spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately shook his head, thinking to himself, "What a joke! Farming... is that something fun?"

People who say farming is fun are people who have never farmed and are just fantasizing about a beautiful life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

If you really ask him to do some work for a few days, no one would be willing to work in the fields from dawn till dusk.

It's so much better to eat what's readily available.

So he quickly said, "Forget it, Xiaofang, there are many more fun things in this world than farming. Let's do something else instead."

After saying that, he led Xiaofang into the room.

Big Yellow's puppy, Little Yellow, is probably the luckiest dog in the entire Great Xia.

I followed the people of Mashan Village to Anchang Kingdom, where I not only enjoyed good food and drink every day, but also heard beautiful music.

After Xiaofang and Chuchen entered the room, Xiaohuang, just like his father had done before, lay down to sleep against the wall of the villa.

Perhaps it is also thinking that these decadent sounds will continue to play every night as long as the owner returns.

This must be an unsolved mystery in the dog's world.

After more than a month of reorganization, the entire Anchang Kingdom returned to a state of stability and prosperity.

The common people didn't seem to care much about who became emperor; as long as they had enough to eat and wear, they didn't care whether it was the Li or Ma family.

But Li Haoran couldn't fall asleep at all.

He summoned the family's top leaders overnight and sat in the imperial study to discuss important national affairs.

"Fugui, are you saying there's been some unusual activity on the border? And that many unfamiliar faces have appeared in the central city?"

"Your Majesty, according to our informants, this is indeed true!"

Upon hearing this, Li Haoran's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if those foreign tribes were about to stir up trouble again.

Or did they see that Anchang had just experienced a civil war and thought that the Li family couldn't hold onto power?

"What's the situation on the border?"

"Your Majesty, five nights ago, our garrison was attacked by what appeared to be barbarians. Eight soldiers were killed and twenty were wounded!"

If Chu Chen were here, this would be the first time he had ever heard the word "barbarian".

This was also what puzzled Chu Chen before: why Anchang Kingdom didn't utilize its valuable marine resources, but instead enclosed the entire country with city walls.

On the outskirts of Anchang Kingdom, in those desolate and uninhabited places, there are many people.

Like the previous Niujia Village, they each lived outside of Anchang Kingdom.

Gradually, these people who were not accepted by Anchang Kingdom formed a group.

In their eyes, why should people from the same continent receive such unfair treatment?

Those inside the city walls could live a peaceful life, protected from wild animals, and even learn advanced martial arts to become warriors.

Those outside are in dire straits.

Later, these groups gradually came together, and some talented individuals emerged from among them, eventually developing into martial artists.

Later, they became a team that constantly opposed the imperial power.

In recent years, after Ma Keqing became a god and went out to wreak havoc, Anchang Kingdom enjoyed a brief period of peace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Haoran ascended the throne, those forces became active again.

"Hmph, do you really think the Li family is easy to bully?" Li Haoran slammed his hand on the table and stood up after hearing this.

Although the loss was not significant, it was a provocation against Li Haoran and the entire Li family.

When Ma Keqing was in power, nothing happened. But as soon as he ascended the throne, he started causing trouble. This behavior shows that he completely disregards Li Haoran.

"Fu Gui, pass down the order to increase the defenses. If there is a next time, make sure they never return."

Li Fugui accepted the order and left, and the others also dispersed. Only then did Li Haoran return to his palace and fall into a deep sleep with several of Ma Keqing's concubines.

It is located at the foot of a hill about 20 li outside the city wall of Anchang.

Hundreds of large tents were set up to form a new camp.

A stunningly beautiful woman was walking through the camp arm in arm with an ugly man.

This pairing made everyone feel like they couldn't believe their eyes, thinking to themselves how such a beautiful woman could be willing to be under such an ugly man.

Behind them was a man in a black robe.

“Yan Fei, in the past month or so, you have officially entered the ranks of martial artists. With your talent and my resources, I believe that in a few years you will reach a top level.”

"However, while one's own strength is good, one's brain is always more important than strength. If you can build a gang in Daxia with just your words, then you can do it in Anchang as well."

The man in black robes was Chi Yanfei, who at this moment already possessed the strength of a second-rank cultivator.

Following behind the two, he appeared respectful, but a ruthless glint still shone in his eyes.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Excellency and Madam. Rest assured, as long as I can settle down in Anchang Kingdom, I will definitely be able to help Your Excellency accomplish great things."

The ugly man, addressed as "Your Excellency," glanced back at Chi Yanfei and burst into laughter.
