Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 183 The Wen Family's Stockpiling of Grain Intends to Start a Rebellion

After being kicked off the wall, the woman got up and shouted loudly.

"Protect the Second Young Master; there are experts here."

Wen Mao was dumbfounded at this moment, as his woman possessed the strength of an eighth-rank cultivator.

Before they could even see clearly, they were knocked off the wall.

Could it be that this small Mashan Village truly harbors hidden talents?

Combining this with what was said about Chu Chen last night, could it be... that this person is the young master Chu who was involved in the destruction of the Liu family?

If that's the case, then you'll have to think it over carefully.

It seems I was too hasty. I originally wanted to take advantage of the cold weather and Zhou Shixun's busy disaster relief efforts.

Stockpile grain and fodder, strike while the iron is hot, and ten days later, take the capital in one fell swoop.

His own supplies would arrive in about half a month, in case the Zhou family launched a counterattack.

Who would have thought that such resistance would be encountered in this small village?

At this moment, Mu Xueqin stood on the wall, coldly watching the crowd outside.

Anyone who dares to covet Mashan Village is tantamount to threatening her comfort zone, which she cannot tolerate.

Just then, Chen Qingxuan also arrived at this place.

"Senior sister, calm down. I'll go down and catch it for you."

After saying that, he leaped down, and at that moment the woman saw another handsome and skilled martial artist descending.

I'm completely numb now. Could it be that I've stumbled upon a den of experts?

Before she could react, Chen Qingxuan kicked her to the ground.

Immediately afterward, within moments, all the guards turned into corpses.

Chen Qingxuan picked up the two men who offered no resistance and entered the village.

He casually tossed them into an iron cage and then ignored them.

"What should we do with this drunkard?"

"Um, senior sister, just call me Qingxuan."

"Alright, you drunkard, I'm asking you, what should we do with these two?"

"Well, let's wait for the second idiot to come back. When has the Wen family ever lacked food? This second young master of the Wen family must have ulterior motives."

After saying that, Chen Qingxuan went up to the third floor of the villa, gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine, and then crawled into the warm bed.

After finishing his business in Qingyun City, Chu Chen drove towards Mashan Village.

On the way back, most of the refugees were led by some soldiers and a few fierce-looking men.

They slowly made their way towards Qingyun City.

Looking at these people, Chu Chen thought to himself that Lan Tianlei was quite efficient; he must have worked through the night to formulate a plan and assign personnel.

But all of this had nothing to do with him; he still preferred the comfort of Mashan Village.

After Chu Chen's car came to a stop, Mu Xueqin told him about the second young master of the Wen family.

"You're saying they're hoarding large amounts of food?"

"That's right, the Wen family is just like the Liu family. It seems that something big is about to happen in the Great Xia."

After careful consideration, Chu Chen couldn't help but frown.

If the Wen family really did take advantage of Zhou Shixun's preoccupation with disaster relief to attack the capital, then it's hard to say.

It seems I'll have to get busy again.

Both emotionally and rationally, I have to stand on Zhou Shixun's side.

First of all, if Zhou Shixun falls, then I will definitely be implicated and endless troubles will arise.

Furthermore, under Zhou Shixun's rule, although natural disasters and wars occurred from time to time in the Great Xia Dynasty.

But this was a feudal era, and it was already quite good that Zhou Shixun could at least think of the common people's needs.

Although the people were not wealthy, they did not complain or suffer from poverty.

After understanding the situation, he walked towards the iron cage.

"Is it said that you two intend to attack my Mashan Village?"

Chu Chen looked at Wen Mao and the woman inside the iron cage and said.

"Who are you? Chu Chen?"

Wen Mao, who was feeling aggrieved, glared at Chu Chen with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Not bad, you even know my name. Tell me, how long have you been investigating me?"

"I've long admired your name. You're the owner of Hong Langman, a guest of Lan Tianlei, and now you have this bunch of troublemakers protecting you. Young Master Chu is truly thriving in Qingyun City!"

"That's all you found out? It seems your Wen family is nothing special!"

Chu Chen shook his head at him, showing that he was not in a good mood.

"The Wen family, huh? They're known as one of the three great families of Kyoto, or rather, two of them now. What's wrong? Are you short of food too?"

"Hmph, since you know I'm from the Wen family, you still don't know what's good for you and release me, otherwise, wait for my army..."

Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Wenmao quickly shut his mouth!

Seeing this, Chu Chen shook his head: "How could such a big family like the Wen family send out such a fool like you, who's even worse than a drunkard!"

"What, you're keeping a private army? Are you planning a rebellion? Aren't you afraid I'll tell that kid Zhou Heng?"

After listening, Wenmao looked at Chu Chen seriously, and then burst into laughter!

"Heh, the Zhou family's fate is sealed. In this freezing weather, you can't possibly fly, can you? Or is it Lan Tianlei who can fly?"

"Young Master Chu, I see you are a capable person. Why not join my Wen family? In ten days, the properties in Qingyun City will still be yours!"

"Those who understand the times are heroes, and I think Young Master Chu should be able to understand this principle."

As Chu Chen listened to his endless boasting, he couldn't help but start to resent it.

If you drive there in ten days, you should be able to make it in time!

But what use are these two idiots for procuring food now, even after ten days?

Could it be that after occupying Kyoto, they knew that the Kyoto granaries were empty due to disaster relief, so they were guarding against Zhou Shixun's counterattack?

Since that's the case, let's go to Kyoto. If Zhou Shixun is alright, then I'll be safe too!

Besides, even if I don't go, Zhou Shixun will most likely come looking for me if something happens to him.

Zhou Shixun couldn't possibly forget the formidable strength he displayed during his campaign against Ganpu and the Japanese.

Moreover, Zhou Shixun probably heard some rumors about the Wen family's unauthorized military action, and it's possible that he's sent someone to find him now!

In fact, Chu Chen guessed correctly. Right now, in Zhou Shixun's study, Eunuch Wei was quietly reporting to him!

"Your Majesty, the Wen family... has been making some unusual moves!"

Zhou Shixun frowned after listening: "Is there a way to deal with this?"

"With the ice storm raging, most of the troops guarding the capital are out providing disaster relief outside the city, which puts them in a difficult position."

"I have already sent men on horseback to Yundian. The 10,000 soldiers I sent from Yundian will be able to enter the capital soon."

"One force will head to Andu, with 20,000 soldiers available."

"Is there another group heading towards Qingyun?"

After listening, Zhou Shixun frowned slightly: "Qingyun?"

"Has Your Majesty forgotten Young Master Chu's ruthless methods?"

Eunuch Wei gave Zhou Shixun a mysterious smile, and Zhou Shixun immediately understood!

"Hahaha, Lao Wei, you're so thoughtful! How could you forget about that kid!"

Seeing that Eunuch Wei had made the arrangements, he breathed a long sigh of relief!

Then, it seemed as if he had thought of something else.

He turned and asked, "Where is Master Zhu?"

"He has returned to the capital; Your Majesty can rest assured!"

This will ensure your own safety, so you can focus on disaster relief!
