Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 705: Gifting Jade Mine as a Sign of Sincerity

"Brother Chu, rest assured, we each have our own needs. The jade essence is all yours. As for the Luo family, I believe you will hear news about them soon."

"Destroying the Luo family can be considered my gift to you."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this. In fact, Ding Yun's great revenge had already been achieved.

Chu Chen only wanted to eliminate the Luo family completely.

In his heart, the jade essence from the imperial palace and the Wang and Tang families was what he wanted most.

Now that a consensus has been reached, the next step should be to discuss and find a solution.

So Chu Chen asked, "Patriarch Li, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

After listening, Li Haoran looked at Chu Chen and then tentatively asked, "Brother Chu, are the people on the wall in this place soldiers?"

"I've also heard that Brother Chu possesses weapons capable of moving mountains and filling seas, and causing sand and stones to fly?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, "This old bastard is not only going to fight against Ma Keqing personally, but also against the troops under Ma Keqing's command."

But thinking about it, it makes sense; seizing imperial power is no easy task.

No matter how strong an individual is, they cannot withstand an army of thousands. You are just a person, not a god who can move mountains and fill seas.

However, if you want to help him seize the throne, then you'll have to increase the stakes.

So he said, "This so-called imperial power, while somewhat difficult for me, is not impossible."

"I do indeed possess earth-shattering weapons, but these things all come at a cost, as Patriarch Li understands!"

Li Haoran was overjoyed upon hearing this. As long as you agree to negotiate, the matter will be easily resolved.

“Brother Chu, we each have our own needs. I know that in Anchang Kingdom, the royal family controls several jade veins.”

"Once my Li family acquires Anchang, all these things can be given to you!"

"To show our sincerity, how about I give Brother Chu one of the Li family's mines right now!"

A mineral vein, damn it, it seems I still don't know enough about Anchang Kingdom.

Since that's the case, what else is there to say!

"Alright, then Patriarch Li, I'm not one to beat around the bush, so don't try to trick me. Since I can defy imperial power, I'm not afraid of your Li family either."

"But you don't need to worry, what I'm pursuing is not power."

"Haha, Brother Chu, then it's settled!"

"There's no rush to take action. Why don't you come with me to see the sincerity of the Li family?"

Li Haoran understood what Chu Chen meant. He was also gambling, betting that Chu Chen had no designs on imperial power.

However, given the current situation of the Li family, this is the only path he can take.

It would be better to give Chu Chen a mine first, so as to keep Chu Chen firmly tied to the Li family.

Ma Keqing must have already heard that Chu Chen had returned.

Who knows what he's up to right now? But based on Li Haoran's understanding of Ma Keqing, he'll definitely go to extremes, which means killing Chu Chen.

In that case, the Li family's chances would be even greater.

Chu Chen nodded after listening; he also wanted to see what this jade essence mine was all about.

To demonstrate their strength, Chu Chen led Li Haoran onto the armored vehicle parked at the village entrance.

"Chu Yi, Chu Shiwu, Chu Shiliu, the three of you, come with me!"

Inside the armored vehicle, Chu Chen used a walkie-talkie to call the three people over.

Chu Yi drove the car, Chu Shiwu sat in the gunner's position, while Xiao Shiliu held a sniper rifle, silently looking out the window without saying a word.

As for showing off, my sugar daddy taught me that it's all about keeping people guessing about you!

"Godfather, where do we go?" Chu Shiwu asked Chu Chen excitedly as the car started moving!

"You shut up, kid. Senior Li is right here. We're not fighting today, let's go out and have some fun!"

Chu Shiwu curled his lip after hearing this, thinking to himself, "If you're going on a tour and driving an infantry fighting vehicle with a super expert, you're definitely going to show off your strength."

It seems I'll have to perform well later and let my godfather show off a little less obviously.

Li Haoran sat inside the armored vehicle, looking around at the steel construction everywhere.

Moreover, it was incredibly thick. He thought to himself that Du Yueshen was right after all. This thing could not only stop a Divine Realm expert, but it could also enter Ma Keqing's army of warriors and come out unscathed.

"Brother Chu, is this vehicle called a war chariot?"

"What could drive it? I haven't seen any livestock or wild beasts."

Li Haoran looked around like a child, touching everything, and asked with a surprised expression.

Chu Chen was so frustrated with his explanation that he didn't want to say another word. So he turned to Xiao Shiliu and said, "You, introduce him to Senior Li!"

"Okay, Godfather!"

“Senior Li, this cart has no animals; it is pulled by a steel beast. If the road is flat, it can travel 300 li in an hour without any problem.”

"See where my brother is sitting? If he wanted to, he could raze that house in front of him to the ground in an instant!"

Chu Shiliu's expression was indifferent, and his serious introduction left Li Haoran speechless with his mouth agape.

It can travel 300 li in an hour, instantly leveling a house to the ground. Such a powerful thing actually exists in this world.

He was now even more convinced of Chu Chen's idea that he had no interest in imperial power and was pursuing something else entirely.

Something else? Could it be that it's attaining immortality?

But in this world, there's never been any gods or immortals, so what does he want?

A series of question marks appeared in Li Haoran's eyes, making him unable to see through Chu Chen in front of him for a moment.

However, he wisely refrained from asking any questions, thinking to himself that Li Fugui had already toned down his behavior in the previous competition, and he was also very fortunate that his little fat boy Li Fugui had not offended him and had even made him a friend of the Li family.

"Brother Chu, with this divine object, wouldn't we have whatever we want?"

"Hehe, to be precise, yes, but I'm lazy. If I want jade essence, I want someone to deliver it to me personally. Fighting and killing is too troublesome."

"Moreover, this world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions!"

So the two chatted casually as they headed toward the jade mine.

The Li family's jade mine is located in Jinluo County, which is right next to Tongluo County.

It's not far, only about one or two hundred kilometers away.

If you follow the official road westward, you will arrive at your destination.

According to Li Haoran, this mine is a new mine, mined for less than three years, so its reserves should be a pleasant surprise for Chu Chen.

The magistrate of Jinluo County was a member of the Li family, so their infantry fighting vehicles entered Jinluo County smoothly.

Upon entering, a group of people rushed over and blocked the front of the armored vehicle.

"Li Mu greets the Patriarch and welcomes the Patriarch to Jinluo!"
