Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 693 Better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond

"Alright, Uncle Zhou, I respect your opinion, but you have to give me an answer by tomorrow."

After listening to Chu Chen's words, Zhou Shixun nodded and walked towards Zhou Heng's house.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Chu Chen turned around and headed back towards the cruise ship.

Little did they know that as they were leaving, a figure emerged from behind the nearby container.

The man glanced in the direction Chu Chen had left, then said leisurely, "Chen Qingxuan is only a mid-level player wherever he goes. Haha, I've got my chance."

After saying that, he followed the path that Chu Chen had just taken.

This person was none other than Chi Yanfei. That's right, he wanted to sneak onto that cruise ship, even if it meant going to the bottom of the cabin, to get to that country called Anchang.

During this time, he was constantly thinking about how to kill Chu Chen.

Because in his heart, the source of his current state is Chu Chen.

But after all that effort, he found that no matter how many people he tried to win over, there was no hope whatsoever.

But if I go to a place where there are experts everywhere, then I might have a chance.

He believed that with his silver tongue, he would be able to make a name for himself in that place.

As night fell, everyone on the cruise ship celebrated Chu Chen's return.

A figure dressed in black appeared on the transport ship next to the cruise ship.

He was holding a stick and hiding in a dark corner.

A villager was carrying the day's harvest, twenty jade essences, and heading this way.

But the next moment, everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

Chi Yanfei dragged the man into the darkness, took out a jar of wine, and poured it over the two of them.

Then he picked up the man and headed towards the cruise ship.

"I told you not to drink so much, but you insisted on drinking anyway. Look how happy you are."

“I know you earned more than twenty jade essences today and wanted to give them to Chuwa, but you can’t drink them like this.”

Chi Yanfei supported the man as they walked past the two machine gunners.

The two machine gunners are androids and do not have the ability to distinguish between villagers and outsiders.

Therefore, Chi Yanfei successfully boarded the cruise ship.

He then left the villagers on the deck and crept into the darkness...

Meanwhile, aboard the royal transport ship, Zhou Shixun looked at Zhou Heng in front of him and asked seriously.

"Heng'er, you are now the emperor of Great Xia. Make a decision."

"Should we take these people to that place full of experts and become their slaves, or should we return to the Northern Frontier City and expand our territory anew?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Heng immediately asked, "Father, does this mean that once we go to that world full of experts, our Zhou family will no longer be royalty?"

After listening, Zhou Shixun nodded: "That's right, I, Zhou Shixun, have failed my ancestors!"

Looking at Zhou Shixun's appearance, Zhou Heng began to think deeply.

This is a dilemma.

If I go to that continent, perhaps some of the people under my command will have a chance to rise above their circumstances.

But what it brought to the Zhou family was to turn them into ordinary people, and then to be enslaved by others for generations.

Because their Zhou family doesn't have the gene to become a martial artist.

He knew all too well how cruel a world full of martial artists was for ordinary people.

However, if they went to the northern city, their imperial power would be preserved.

But the common people will continue to be the ones controlled by them, just like before.

"Father, I am in a dilemma. I cannot choose between imperial power and the people."

Zhou Shixun smiled after hearing this: "Heng'er, you are the ruler of a country, so you must understand the importance of imperial power."

"As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. If I were still in power, I would choose the northern city without hesitation."

"The people are the foundation of my Zhou family, but if we cannot control them, they will become the sharp blade that kills us. Do you understand?"

Zhou Heng nodded thoughtfully after listening.

Father is right. The people are their foundation. Without them, how could Zhou Heng have obtained so many resources?

Moreover, for the people of Great Xia, the journey from this gathering place to the high mountains of the northern city was actually an opportunity.

If you go to the northern city, although the area of ​​the Great Xia has shrunk, the Zhou family's imperial power still exists, so the Great Xia will still exist.

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng raised his head and looked at Zhou Shixun: "Father, I already have the answer in my heart."

“Father is right. It’s better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Besides, what difference is there between our people and slaves if they go to Anchang Kingdom?”

"As emperor, I cannot risk their future."

Zhou Shixun nodded and smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that this kid was finally starting to show some promise.

Yes, we cannot risk the lives of ordinary people, but aren't we also risking our own imperial power?

"Alright, since that's the case, then I'll go find Chuwa tomorrow. I think he should have arranged everything by now."

In Zhou Shixun's eyes, it was perfect; he couldn't beat Chu Chen in a fight, but he dared not offend him either.

Chu Chen took his men to Anchang Kingdom, so wouldn't that be a good opportunity for me to get rid of his control?

Even if it's the worst, at least there won't be someone there with a gun watching you all the time.

The next morning, Zhou Shixun arrived on the cruise ship and told Chu Chen about his decision.

Chu Chen nodded after listening, thinking to himself that he could understand. Who would be willing to give up imperial power and become an ordinary person?

“Uncle Zhou, since you have made your decision, then these ships will set off together for Saibei City.”

“I will give you five hundred of my soldiers, and then hand them over to you for your use. These ships will also be given to you.”

"They will take you to Saibei City. Once you arrive, go to the city lord, Xiao Yue, and she will arrange everything for you."

Chu Chen decided to leave Xiao Yue in Saibei City for the time being.

With these 500 soldiers, and with their cooperation with Xiao Yue, Zhou Shixun wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

After hearing Chu Chen's words, Zhou Shixun immediately understood Chu Chen's thoughts.

"Don't worry, Chu boy, Uncle Zhou owes you a lot of favors again this time."

"Uncle Zhou, there's no point in talking about this between us. From the beginning, I have had no opinions or thoughts about your Zhou family, so you can rest assured about some things."

"Also, Xiao Yue is my person. I want her to be safe. You understand what I mean, right?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shixun immediately gave Chu Chen a thumbs up.

He thought to himself that Chu Chen was truly omnipresent.

But at least it's much better than this gathering place.
