Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 316 Jade Mining Nears its End

"Brother Yu, you've worked hard. Is it really true that only two people came?"

“That’s right, young master. These two have been lurking around the mine a few days ago, but they didn’t cause any trouble, so the brothers didn’t take them seriously.”

"Who would have thought they would suddenly break in today!"

Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself that Leng Shuang probably didn't have any extra manpower.

Then he asked Yu Mingda, "Are the jade stones in the mine still safe?"

"Young master, the situation is urgent, and we haven't gone to check yet."

"It's alright, let's go ahead!" After saying that, Chu Chen led Yu Mingda towards the jade warehouse!

If it really was two people, then the jade warehouse would definitely be unharmed.

But if there's a problem with the jade warehouse, then it's estimated that more than just two people will come this time.

Worried about the jade, Yu Mingda quickly led Chu Chen to the warehouse, thinking to himself, "Please don't let it get lost!"

A short while later, the two entered the jade warehouse.

Chu Chen looked at each one and saw that the emerald green jade essence was still being produced.

Perhaps it's because the food has improved, but in such a short period of time, the amount of jade essence produced is almost half of what I used to get from the Ghost Face Army.

Seeing this, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yu. Please continue to have them expedite the mining. I will have these taken away in the next few days. You can go and get busy."

Seeing Chu Chen's satisfied expression, Yu Mingda was also pleased. He bid farewell and went to attend to his own business.

Seeing Yu Mingda leave, Chu Chen waved his hand and put all the jade stones into his spatial storage.

Then he turned and headed towards the room.

Xiaoyu seemed to be too frightened and was now fast asleep. Chu Chen had nothing to do.

He took a step and headed towards the mountains.

I wondered what kind of wild game Wu Tuo had.

Reaching a secluded spot, he pulled out a rifle and headed towards the deep mountains.

Meanwhile, in Longcheng, thousands of miles away, Leng Shuang stared blankly at the water-filled tunnel beneath the pavilion, unsure of what to do.

Where is my aunt? Where did she go? All those jade stones I painstakingly collected are just gone like that?

Outside the gauze curtain of the pavilion, a masked soldier was kneeling on the ground, telling her what he had seen and heard the previous night.

"You mean you heard a loud bang, but didn't see anything else, and then left on your own?"

After all, only her aunt and she knew about the stone chamber at the bottom of the lake. These people only observed it for a while by the lake before leaving on their own.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, Leng Shuang thought of a possibility.

"Could it be you?"

Immediately afterwards, she exuded the aura of a tenth-grade grandmaster.

"Is it really you? But you clearly have no fighting ability whatsoever!"

Yes, she thought of Chu Chen, his sudden departure, and then her aunt and everything else were submerged in water.

Then the only person she could think of who was suspicious was Chu Chen.

He took himself to the mountaintop to see the moon, then got himself drunk, and took the opportunity to return to the city lord's mansion.

Then they transformed this place into this shape.

But there were still many things she didn't understand: how did Chu Chen know about this tunnel?

How did he manage to do all these things right under his aunt's nose?

After a moment's thought, another possibility arose in her mind: that her aunt had mastered her divine skills, killed Chu Chen, and then destroyed this place.

However, regardless of who caused all of this, their destination was the same: the Great Xia.

Then she said to the outside, "I need to leave Dragon City for a while. After I leave, you will be in full charge of all affairs in Dragon City."

"I obey my orders!"

After the Ghost-Faced Army left, Leng Shuang instantly put on a mask, flashed out of the city lord's mansion, and headed straight for the coast.

Half a day later, a large ship set off from Longcheng and headed straight for Wu Tuo.

When Leng Shuang saw the burned-out ship on the shore of Wu Tuo, she immediately frowned.

She then leaped off the ship, signaled the crew to return, and instantly entered the jungle. She then reverted to her girl form and headed towards the Great Xia.

During these days, Chu Chen spent his days either hunting in the mountains or teaching Xiao Yu how to cook.

They stayed for a full month, and then they saw that the jade stones being mined from the jade mine were becoming less and less.

He then called Yu Mingda over and said, "Brother Yu, I will be away for a while. From now on, every month, you should have someone transport the jade produced to the first village on the border between Daxia and Wutuo. Take this item to a man surnamed Pan and give him the jade!"

Yu Mingda nodded to Chu Chen and accepted the item Chu Chen handed him.

Looking up, one could see that the item Chu Chen had given him was a uniquely shaped object.

Then Chu Chen took out a key-like object and said, "I will give this key to Brother Pan. If he can open this lock with the key, it will prove that you have found the right person. If he opens it in another way, you should understand."

"My subordinate understands!"

Chu Chen couldn't think of anything good to give as a token, so he simply gave him a large padlock.

Once I return to the small village on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty and explain things clearly to Brother Pan, and then send someone from home to take me in, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Moreover, the reserves of this jade mine are probably not much left.

The main thing is the jade essence. As for the other jade stones, Chu Chen can do without them now. If he wants them, he can get them from the Great Xia.

After saying that, Chu Chen gave him a lot of money, and then, with Xiao Yu, he boarded the carriage that Yu Mingda had prepared for him and headed towards the Great Xia.

This trip has been very rewarding, and it's time to go back and visit.

No matter where you go, Mashan Village is your true home, so after all this busy work, it's time to go back and visit.

I wonder how Zheng Jing's gunpowder is doing.

If it's built well, then Zhou Shixun will definitely be restless and want to expand his territory.

I'll go and persuade them myself, first get Wu Tuo under control, then cross the sea to the other side and take over the Kazakh kingdom as well.

Since Dragon City has reserves of jade essence, it is very likely that other territories of the Kazakh Kingdom also have such reserves.

Once Zhou Shixun takes over those territories, it will be much easier for him to find the jade essence.

The carriage traveled eastward, and a few days later, Chu Chen, with Xiao Yu in tow, saw the village where Xiao Yu had lived in the distance.

Through the carriage window, one could see that the entire village had been completely transformed.

Everywhere in the fields, people were working, and the houses in the villages seemed to have been renovated.

At that moment, Wu Gang, who was leading his men to work in the field, saw Chu Chen and Xiao Yu approaching from afar.

Ignoring the mud on his legs, he led his men to meet the two of them.

"Sir, you're back!"
