Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 336 Commoner Princess: The Great Xia Woman

As the wound continued to bleed, the ugly man in black grew weaker and weaker.

Upon hearing that Chu Chen had agreed to his request, he immediately revealed a shocking secret to him.

“Young Master Chu, the Japanese princess sent to Great Xia must not marry the Eighth Prince.”

"Oh, what's going on?"

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chu Chen looked at the jade pendant in his hand and the ugly corpse in front of him.

He said leisurely, "Among so many traitors, you can barely be considered a good person. Since that's the case, then I'll be a good person too."

"But Zhou Shixun, let's change his name. Let's just call him Zhou Zhengchun."

It turns out that the ugly man in front of them was one of the same generation that Zhou Shixun was fighting for back then.

His identity was that of one of Zhou Shiji's personal bodyguards.

After Zhou Shixun seized power, Zhou Shiji secretly plotted to capture and kill a large number of people from Zhou Shixun's faction to vent his anger.

His mission was to kill Zhou Shixun's youngest daughter and concubine while Zhou Shixun was keeping Zhou Shixun occupied.

The girl was less than a month old at the time.

During the reign of the late emperor, Zhou Shiji and Zhou Shixun had a fairly good relationship.

Zhou Shixun was generous and approachable back then, so he received many favors from him.

But the power struggle within the royal family turned them all into enemies.

Upon receiving Zhou Shiji's order, he led his men into the concubine's room, preparing to take action.

Little did they know that they were watching the concubine calmly feeding the child.

Moreover, the concubine said something that instantly softened his heart.

She said, "General, please have mercy and let this child die a full-fed death. She's only a month old!"

So he quickly ordered the soldiers who were about to take action to put down their weapons and leave the room, preparing to give her a final show of respect.

Unexpectedly, when the door was opened again, there was a dagger stuck in the concubine's chest; she had been dead for some time.

But the child was safely and unharmed on the bed.

He raised his knife for a long time, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it. Just then, the shouts of battle outside arrived as expected.

He knew that if Zhou Shixun saw this scene, even if he had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain himself. In the end, he would not only die, but also bear the infamy of the world.

Moreover, Zhou Shixun had treated him well before.

So he simply picked up the child, kicked over the candles in the room, and prepared to complete his master's task and repay Zhou Shixun's kindness.

The fire quickly spread throughout the room.

Just as he was holding his child, closing his eyes and waiting to die, perhaps by divine intervention, a heavy rain extinguished the fire.

He survived, but was left with permanent scars on his face, and the child in his arms, though not dead, was still on the verge of death.

So he thought to himself that since even God wouldn't let him die, he might as well grant God's wish. He stumbled and staggered, carrying his child, and fled all the way to Japan.

From then on, he appeared as a man in black, and the child was placed in the care of an ordinary family in Japan.

To make a living, he entered the palace and became a guard. Due to his strong martial arts skills, he gradually rose to his current position.

And that child from back then, he has been secretly watching her grow up all these years.

Little did they know that this time, Kato Yan was preparing to use the strategy of marriage alliance to infiltrate the Great Xia and select people from among the people.

And yet, this child was chosen.

He was anxious yet helpless, recalling his time in Daxia and his current state of being a convict.

Originally, they were prepared to give up everything and find an opportunity to catch up with the fleet and rescue the child, but they happened to encounter Chu Chen's arrival.

As soon as Chu Chen arrived, he could tell that Chu Chen's motives were impure.

Over the years, Kato Yan had treated him well, showing him kindness and mentorship. So he stayed a few more days, intending to help Kato Yan before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chen ended everything with a single slap.

Chu Chen stood up and quietly placed the corpse on the bed in the room.

"Sigh, people are too loyal. You must have a very tiring life! But if you understood what PUA is, you probably would have killed Kato Kaname and wandered the world with that child long ago."

After saying that, he put away the jade pendant and flew upstairs.

Watching Chu Yi stuff the last shell into the rocket and launch it with a whoosh.

So he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, alright, you two have pretty much ruined the palace. It's time to retreat, otherwise we won't be able to leave once the Japanese army arrives."

Chu Yi and Chu San nodded after listening, and then Chu Chen headed out of the city.

Before Kato Kaname's army could react, a strange black car soon headed towards the coast.

Chu Yi was driving, and Chu San was excitedly shouting in the passenger seat.

"Brother, can I play with it?"

"If you behave properly, do you think this is a game? Do you think this is a life-or-death situation? If you behave properly, I'm going to speed things up."

The soldiers chasing after the armored vehicle were yelling and running, but after chasing it further and further away, they had no choice but to return to the capital.

Kato Kane also woke up from her coma at that moment.

After the explosions stopped, he walked out of the treasury with the help of his subordinates.

"Quickly, send men to investigate the palace and find out what's going on!"

The subordinate accepted the order and left, but soon returned.

"The emperor's capital was destroyed, and many people died!"

The subordinate said with a gloomy expression.

After listening to his subordinate's report, Kato Yan's face was so gloomy it looked like it could be squeezed out of water.

"Where's the shadowy figure? Have you seen him?"

“It’s placed outside the main hall; it’s been dead for quite some time.”

Upon hearing the news of the shadowy figure's death, Kato Kane remained remarkably calm, but then seemed to realize something.

"Quickly, send men to Fushan in the western suburbs, that is the very foundation of our royal family!"

Just as he remembered, Chu Chen was already standing at the foot of what Japan called Mount Toyama.

"Heh, Japan's largest jade mine, the royal family's true treasury?"

After saying that, he moved and plunged into the deep mountains.

This was another piece of information the shadowy figure had told him: the location of the jade essence.

Moreover, the Kato clan possessed countless treasures of gold and silver, which is why the Kato family was able to rule Japan for so long.

Chu Chen moved extremely fast, and soon a small village appeared in the telescope.

In the very center of the village stood a dilapidated red house, resembling a temple.

Chu Chen circled around the back mountain and soon entered the back of the red temple.

Outside the temple, Chu Chen detected several powerful auras, and at the very front of the temple, there was also a faint aura comparable to that of Zhu Liuxiang.

He thought to himself, "Even in this tiny place, there are such experts."
