Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 298 Taking Over Wu Tuo Jade Mine

Upon closer inspection, Eunuch Cao was shocked to see that the king was spitting out worms.

He then turned to the maid beside him and shouted, "Quickly, go and invite Young Master Chu! The King has vomited worms!"

The maid didn't dare to delay after hearing this and ran all the way to Chu Chen's courtyard.

A moment later, Chu Chen asked the maid outside the door, "What did you say? Spit it out."

After saying that, Chu Chen secretly took out the medicine box from his pocket. It said the side effects: Occasionally, the patient may vomit roundworms.

So he immediately felt relieved.

I thought to myself that I probably gave too much of the dosage, but I can't blame myself, I'm not a doctor.

So they followed the maid to Yan Lixuan's bedroom.

Upon entering, a foul stench filled the air, and Yan Lixuan was vomiting and having diarrhea, with constant farting.

Chu Chen almost burst out laughing at the sight.

Upon seeing Chu Chen's arrival, Eunuch Cao immediately grabbed Chu Chen's hand and asked.

"Young Master Chu, after the king took the medicine, worms appeared all over his body. What should we do?"

After listening, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "No need to panic, this is a normal phenomenon. The purpose of the medicine is to expel the worm from the body."

"Ah, then why not kill that bug? It's terrifying."

"Um, use your brain. If the bugs are killed, your king is probably killed too."

Chu Chen spoke fluently and logically.

Seeing that Eunuch Cao still looked nervous, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, you're all done vomiting. Take good care of him, and call me if anything happens."

After saying that, Chu Chen left the palace. The smell was just too damn intoxicating.

After leaving his bedchamber, Chu Chen, led by a maid, strolled around the palace.

It took Yan Lixuan a full half-day to stop the vomiting and diarrhea.

After the last roundworm was expelled from his mouth, Yan Lixuan instantly felt much lighter.

After a relaxing shower, Yan Lixuan felt an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.

So, forgetting about his meal, he shouted at Eunuch Cao, "Go and invite that Young Master Chu here. This country's ruler wants to dine with him."

After bowing to Yan Lixuan and his entourage, Eunuch Cao ran outside.

Before long, Chu Chen was led by Eunuch Cao to the imperial kitchen of the Wu Tuo Palace.

Looking at the table full of desserts, Chu Chen had no interest whatsoever. He ate a few bites hastily and then told Yan Lixuan his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, now that your health crisis has been resolved, may I take you to see the mine?"

"Also, even if your body is no longer threatened by the jade that is mined in the future, as you said, that group of people are incredibly strong. If they want to forcibly take it, they will have no choice."

Yan Lixuan nodded after listening: "Young Master Chu is right, this matter is not easy to resolve!"

Chu Chen immediately responded, thinking to himself, "If you can't solve it, I can. Why not take this opportunity to get the jade mine?"

"In that case, I have an idea!"

"Oh, please enlighten me, Young Master Chu!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Lixuan was immediately filled with confidence again. He had great faith in the Great Xia ambassador before him.

He comes up with such great ideas for himself and even treats his own illness, as if he's omnipotent.

"The most important crisis facing Wu Tuo Kingdom right now is not the jade mine, but the famine of its people."

"In that case, why not give me the jade mine?"

“Those people only have eyes for that emerald green jade essence. Their goal is the same as mine. If this way, the king can escape and the Wu Tuo Kingdom can escape, wouldn’t that be perfect?”

Yan Lixuan shook his head immediately after hearing this.

"Young Master Chu, you mustn't do that. That would put too much pressure on you. Those people all possess strength of at least the seventh rank. If something were to happen to you in my Wu Tuo Kingdom, how would I explain it to His Majesty of the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Chu Chen laughed after hearing this: "It's alright, I have my own methods. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. If anyone comes from over there, just say that I've taken over the mine!"

At Chu Chen's insistence, Yan Lixuan stepped forward and tightly grasped Chu Chen's hand.

With tears streaming down his face, he said, "Young Master Chu, I, Wu Tuo, have received such a great favor, and I have no way to repay it. Please accept my lord's bow!"

After saying that, he bowed to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen was completely bewildered by Yan Lixuan's actions, thinking to himself, "I just wanted your mine, why are you still counting money for me?"

However, since they've given me so much face, I can't be ungrateful.

So he quickly stepped forward and helped Yan Lixuan up: "Your Majesty, there is no need for this. Our Great Xia is a land of etiquette. Since you are a vassal state of our Great Xia, how can we watch you suffer? I will take on this task."

"In that case, we shall set off tomorrow. The king will provide me with a carriage and take me to the mine."

After saying his goodbyes, Chu Chen bid farewell to Yan Lixuan, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

You should know that even in Ganpu, where jade is abundant, no more reserves of that jade essence have been found.

Wu Tuo, however, had mined it, and he only got a large box of it a month. If he stayed there for a year or two, he would surely reap a great harvest.

Now that we have the jade mine, there's another thing to consider.

That's the mysterious masked man. What kind of organization is he, and why does he want this jade essence?

This filled him with deep curiosity.

As for danger, Chu Chen was not worried at all. It was only a seventh-rank official; he could defeat it.

Even if we can't win, we still have firearms; and even if firearms don't work, we still have armored vehicles.

Even if none of these work, if I hide in the space, even the Jade Emperor won't be able to find me.

The next day, Chu Chen got up early and, with Xiao Yu in tow, boarded the carriage prepared by Yan Lixuan.

In his hand was also an imperial edict from Yan Lixuan, bestowing the mine upon Chu Chen in the name of the authorities.

The carriage traveled for two days towards the outskirts of the city before finally arriving in a mountainous region.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Chu Chen, holding Xiao Yu's hand, walked into the mountain with the coachman.

After walking for more than an hour, Chu Chen finally saw a group of buildings in the mountains.

Most of them were low thatched huts, with only one brick and tile house in the middle of them.

"Who goes there? This is a restricted area of ​​the mine. Trespassers will be killed without mercy."

At the entrance of the mine, two soldiers blocked the way for Chu Chen and his two companions.

Upon seeing this, the coachman immediately stepped forward and pulled out a token from his waist: "How dare you! Make way and welcome your new mine owners."

Upon seeing the token, the soldiers immediately knelt down: "We respectfully welcome you, sir!"

The coachman ignored them and turned around to respectfully welcome Chu Chen and his companion inside.

As soon as the three entered the tiled house, a man who looked like an official came out to greet them.

"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency!" The man stepped forward and bowed to the coachman.

"Alright, come and greet your new master, Young Master Chu!"

The man stood up, glanced at Chu Chen with a puzzled look, then turned to look at the coachman, looking completely bewildered.

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen handed over the imperial edict in his hand!
