Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1520: The Mei Family in Beijing Takes Action Again

Those who charged the fastest, at the moment of their death, slid right in front of the guards with a thud due to the inertia of their bodies.

They stared wide-eyed, and even in death, they didn't know where they had died.

On the bandit's side, the leader was also taken aback by the sudden attack.

The information he received from his superiors was that Chu Chen was quite skilled; he hadn't expected him to unleash such a powerful attack.

Moreover, after his hands emitted flames and made a deafening noise, his men died inexplicably.

In the dim light, he couldn't see at all how Chu Chen made his move.

In just the time it took to cover their faces, more than a dozen of their own men fell.

After emptying a magazine, Chu Chen didn't hesitate at all. He clicked the magazine open and fired a burst of bullets in another direction.

That wasn't all. From four directions, Chu Chen fired four magazines in a short period of time, leaving behind more than forty corpses.

Suddenly, everyone was scared. They thought they had picked a soft target, but they had run into a tough nut to crack.

"Brothers, this man is too strange. Retreat! Retreat... We'll deal with him later..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader immediately gave his brothers the order to retreat.

But before he could finish giving his order, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and collapsed to the ground.

Chu Chen didn't waste any words with them. He flashed forward and rushed to their leader.

He then said to Gou Shengzi and the others, "Get up, kill one, two taels of silver!"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, the guards immediately became as if they had been injected with chicken blood: "Boss, even if you don't give us silver, we'll still get you a few coins."

"Alright, take it easy. It would be best to catch someone on the throat and give them five taels."

Five taels of silver! Five taels of silver in one go! Chu Chen's words completely threw the bandits on the other side into a panic. They all knew that Chu Chen was rich, but they never expected that he would be so generous.

Unfortunately, he gave it to his own enemy. This only made his enemy even more motivated.

For a moment, everyone had only one thought: to run.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men; who would be willing to face a penniless pauper and kill someone who would make them rich?

The bandits arrived quickly and left even faster; in no time, they had all disappeared into the forest without a trace.

Chu Chen stepped on the leader, who had already tucked his submachine gun into his large clothes.

In his hand he held a long, gleaming sword.

Instead of chasing after the bandits, Gou Shengzi took over the work from Chu Chen.

A short while later, the man was dragged to the campfire by Gou Shengzi. Chu Chen stepped forward and ripped off his mask, revealing a face covered in scars.

A knife handle stretched diagonally from the left cheek to the right, looking quite intimidating.

"Speak up, who sent you here!"

Chu Chen cut to the chase. He didn't believe the bandits would specifically target him; they would just come and rob him.

And to specifically name him and demand his life, is that a joke?

"Hmph, kill me or torture me as you please. I'm a bandit, can't I rob people? Who the hell dares to order bandits around?"

Chu Chen chuckled after hearing this, then turned to look at Gou Shengzi: "In that case, let's skin him!"

Gou Shengzi understood, and immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist, then slashed at his thigh, cutting off a chunk of flesh.

"Ouch, Gou Shengzi, you went too far! Quickly disinfect it!"

After saying that, Chu Chen took a bottle of alcohol with a mischievous grin and poured it directly onto the wound.

If he could withstand the previous stab wound, then sprinkling alcohol on the wound would be nothing short of hellish torture. Who could endure that? There's nothing in this world that's so powerful.

"Ah..." In an instant, the scarred man was in so much pain that he bit his lip until it bled, and he gasped for breath.

He had suffered countless injuries in his life, but this was the first time he had ever encountered something so torturous. He had no idea what the man had poured on himself.

It smells like alcohol, but it's so strong that it would make your throat feel like it's on fire if you drank it.

"So what? Why insist on it? You've only taken a little money."

“What use is money when you’re dead? I’m not trying to sow discord among you, but believe me, once you die, the second-in-command of your mountain village will take your place, live in your house, sleep with your wife, and beat your children.”

"Speak up, and you'll still have a chance to live!"

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Chen said this, images of the beautiful women in his mountains, the babies in swaddling clothes, and the children who would open their arms and call out "Daddy, Daddy!" every time he came home immediately flashed through the scarred man's mind.

In an instant, the defenses he had maintained crumbled.

"Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk, but you have to keep your promise and not kill me!"

"Okay, I won't kill you, tell me!"

“It’s the Mei family. A young master named Mei Du sent me to kidnap you, saying that you have a big secret. The price is that all your belongings in this cart will be returned to me, along with 10,000 taels of silver.”

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this. Ten thousand taels of silver, they really think highly of me.

However, now that the Mei family has reappeared, I'll have to go to the capital and have a proper talk with them.

By the way, I'll go to the capital and sell this white sugar to see how well it sells.

Such a valuable item could probably make him a fortune.

"The Mei family, the Mei family of the capital, what a pity. You've provoked me time and time again. If I don't show my strength, you'll really think I'm a pushover."

After saying that, Chu Chen turned and left.

Then he said to the servants, "Gentlemen, how many have you killed?"

"Master, I've killed three!"

"Boss, I killed two, hehe, there's still one alive."

Chu Chen nodded and smiled: "You've all done well. Go get the money from Gou Shengzi later. But there's something right here, why aren't you making money?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to the scarred man kneeling on the ground.

"What do you mean? You said you wouldn't kill me."

"Hahaha, I did say I wouldn't kill you, and I did. But they would have gotten two taels of silver for killing you. They're very poor. Two taels of silver is enough for them to go to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion a few times."

"Despicable... Chu Chen, you'll die a horrible death..."

However, the servants didn't give him a chance to say another word. One of the servants rushed forward and stabbed him through the chest.

Seeing this, Gou Shengzi smiled and waved his hand, pulling out a bag of silver from his pocket.
