Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 300 First Battle with the Mysterious Masked Man

Yu Mingda shook his slightly dizzy head: "Good wine, young master, this is the best wine I have ever drunk in my life."

Chu Chen's lips twitched after hearing this. How could it not be good? This is a latrine.

The next day, when the ragged miners entered the spacious thatched hut, they suddenly discovered that the food was different that day.

Not only did each person's bowl contain only grains of dry rice, but each person also had a ladle of vegetables on top of their rice.

The dishes also included meat.

So everyone stared blankly at the food in their hands.

An elderly man stepped forward and asked a soldier, "Sir, why are we being fed so well today? Do you think this old man is useless, and this is your last meal?"

After saying that, he was about to kneel down in front of the soldier: "Sir, I can still work, and I have a small appetite."

Upon seeing this, the sergeant immediately pulled him up: "What are you talking about? This was a gift from the new master. If you don't believe me, look, everyone has the same thing."

The old man stood up and looked around: "Sir, is this the new master?"

"That's right. The young master said that as long as everyone works hard, every meal will be dry, and there will be meat soup. We'll have a real meat meal every three days."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately started discussing it.

"Sir, is this for real?"

"Yes, sir, we're not going to be given this meal and then have to work day and night tomorrow, are we?"

The sergeant looked at the puzzled crowd and said, "What's all the fuss about? Is that thing you're holding fake? As long as you work hard, the young master won't treat you unfairly."

The miners ate their fill, burping contentedly, their faces beaming with satisfaction, and they were all discussing it amongst themselves.

He thought to himself that he had finally found a wise ruler.

Meanwhile, the soldiers were in their mess hall, eating meat heartily, their cheeks bulging, and they couldn't help but feel grateful to Chu Chen.

Most of these people come from poor backgrounds; who would come to this godforsaken place for no reason?

However, just as they were discussing how delicious the food was, two uninvited guests arrived at the door.

"Who goes there? Acting all mysteriously! This is a restricted mining area. Unauthorized entry will result in certain death!"

The two soldiers at the gate were still savoring their lunch when they saw two masked men appear at the entrance.

So he stood up and shouted loudly at the two of them.

The person behind the mask had no expression visible. One of them stepped forward and knocked two soldiers to the ground.

"You two gatekeepers dare to bark at your grandfather! Tell the person in charge here to come out and greet your grandfather!"

The soldier, in pain, got up and ran inside.

He ran up to Yu Mingda in no time and told him what had happened.

Chu Chen happened to be with Yu Mingda, so he asked the soldier, "Two masked men beat you two to a pulp in one move?"

"Young master, that is indeed the case; they have ill intentions!"

Yu Mingda frowned after hearing this: "Young Master, you go back to your room first, I'll take some men to check it out!"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "They've finally come. Since they're here, I'll grab one and ask them a few questions."

So he quickly said, "They are not people you can handle. Don't cause unnecessary casualties. Just keep an eye on the mine and let them mine normally. Leave the rest to me."

After saying that, Chu Chen darted towards the door.

Yu Mingda and the soldier were both secretly shocked by Chu Chen's speed.

This young master of mine is not only kind-hearted, but also incredibly powerful in martial arts.

Seeing Chu Chen like this, Yu Mingda was relieved and instructed the soldiers beside him, "It's nothing, you can go about your business and don't disturb the young master."

After saying that, he walked towards the door on his own.

Seeing Chu Chen approaching at incredible speed, the two masked men couldn't help but sharpen their gazes.

"Are you in charge here? How's the production this month?"

Chu Chen listened to their questions, shook his head and looked the two of them up and down, then pulled out the tetanus blade he had obtained from the Grand Preceptor of Ganpu from his lower back.

The reason they didn't bring firearms was that Chu Chen could tell their strength at a glance.

One is around rank seven, and the other is probably around rank six or above. It's a good opportunity for me to test my own strength.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my private mine?"

The two men frowned as they saw Chu Chen pull out a rusty knife: "Your private mine?"

He wondered if he had come to the wrong place. This was the place Yan Lixuan was referring to.

"Are you sure this isn't a jade mine from the Kingdom of Wutuo?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen slung his knife over his shoulder and said, "That's right, it's the jade mine in Wu Tuo Kingdom. But just a few days ago, Yan Lixuan bestowed this mine upon me. What are you doing here?"

The two looked Chu Chen up and down, then exchanged a glance.

"I've given it to you as a reward, that's fine. In the future, all the green jade stones that are mined must be given to us. Then we will stay here and protect your safety. Remember to find me a clean house and a few pretty maids."

Chu Chen chuckled upon hearing this. What kind of organization is this? Doesn't it have a brain? Didn't they see that he even took out his Tetanus Blade?

So he raised his hand and pointed the knife at the two men: "This knife of mine doesn't seem to agree!"

Upon hearing this, the two seemed incredulous and said, "Huh! This kid actually dares to be our enemy? What makes you think he can? With your meager strength?"

Chu Chen was too lazy to waste words with them. He picked up his sword and charged towards the masked man of the seventh rank in one step.

There are no extra moves, just three moves: slash, chop, and thrust.

The two were surprised that Chu Chen would attack them without warning, and they quickly raised their weapons to defend themselves.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chen cut the seventh-rank man's weapon in half with a single strike.

With a swift and unexpected flick, the masked man of the seventh rank was instantly ripped open, his intestines spilling out.

Chu Chen looked at the knife in his hand with satisfaction, then turned and headed towards another masked man.

The other person was surprised that this unassuming young man had killed his companion with just one move, and he began to panic.

But Chu Chen wouldn't let him have his way, and with a swift strike, he left a gash on Chu Chen's foot.

The masked man fell to the ground in pain. Upon seeing this, Chu Chen dropped the Tetanus Blade in his hand and straddled the man, giving him a good beating.

They beat the man until he was exhausted, then pulled out two pairs of handcuffs and handcuffed him securely.

This scene was witnessed by Yu Mingda and several soldiers who were standing nearby.

Seeing that Chu Chen had subdued the man, the others quickly stepped forward to help.

Chu Chen turned his head and ordered, "Carry the corpse and this thing inside. I want to see what's under that mask."

After saying that, he picked up the Tetanus Blade from the ground, turned around and walked inside.
