Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 208 Encountering an Old Acquaintance in the Gambling Den

"Hahaha, this is fate! I never expected to run into you here."

After saying that, Brother Wang walked towards Chu Chen and the other person.

At this moment, Chu Chen also sensed something was wrong. He saw that the people in the gambling den were driven out in a short while.

Immediately afterwards, she saw a portly man walking towards her.

"Mr. Chu, how are you?"

"Hey, you know me?"

"Haha, I can't just recognize you, even if you were burned to ashes, I could still taste that it's you."

Chu Chen's mind raced, and finally, he found the person in the original owner's memories.

Wang Fugui was formerly the owner of the Sanhe Gambling House in Qingniu Town.

"Haha, Manager Wang, you're not dead? You've even come all the way to Ganpu?"

At this moment, it was as if enemies were meeting and their eyes were filled with hatred. Chu Chen looked at the heavily pregnant Wang Fugui in front of him.

I wondered whether I should be grateful to this person or hate him. If it weren't for him, the original owner wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't have been able to travel through time and take over this body.

However, without him, the original owner would not have suffered so much.

Perhaps it was the original owner's subconscious thought, but no matter what his purpose was, Chu Chen had to kill the person in front of him.

"You failed to bully men and women in Daxia, but you've managed to escape to Ganpu. However, you're quite talented, managing to thrive in Ganpu."

Chu Chen looked at Wang Fugui and said without any nervousness.

"Haha. If I remember correctly, your name is Chu Chen. You've caused me so much trouble! You don't know, the gambling den was shut down for no reason, and I had to run for my life. I almost died under the swords of those officials."

Wang Fugui looked at Chu Chen in front of him, so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Previously, Zhou Heng sent people to shut down the casino, and Wang Fugui, who had received advance warning, knew that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have.

Without any preparation, he escaped from Qingniu Town alone.

To put Chu Chen at ease and to prevent Wang Fugui from retaliating, Zhou Heng directly dispatched soldiers to arrest him.

Unexpectedly, although Wang Fugui ran a gambling den in this small town of Qingniu, he had made many friends over the years and it took a lot of effort to bring him to Ganpu.

Upon arriving in Ganpo, his quick wit led him to immediately consider returning to his original business and opening a gambling den.

The fact that Bactria and Gampo opened up trade presented him with an opportunity.

So he spent a lot of money to curry favor with the city's garrison, and over the past year, he has made a fortune.

As luck would have it, he ran into Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan, which delighted him immensely.

In Daxia, you have people protecting you, but here in Ganpu, this kid is just meat on your chopping block, you can cut him however you want.

"Since we've come all this way today, and you've come to my place again, why don't you stay and not go back?"

After saying that, Wang Fugui waved his hand behind him, and in an instant, dozens of people wielding steel knives surged in from all directions.

Seeing this scene, Chu Chen, without any fear, dragged over two chairs.

He casually pulled two cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one with a snap.

Looking at the two men puffing away on their cigarettes, Wang Fugui was puzzled: Could it be that these two lads wanted to commit suicide?

No, could it be that he's trying to create a fog? He immediately realized.

"Brothers, cover your mouths and noses. These two bastards are dishonest; they used sleeping pills."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs who were about to surround him involuntarily took a step back.

In an instant, everyone pulled out all sorts of items from their bodies, such as handkerchiefs, bibs, and square scarves, and covered their mouths with them.

Even more extreme, some people would go to a corner, add some ingredients to their handkerchiefs, and then share some with each other.

Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan almost laughed themselves sick at the sight.

"Drunkard, this is the funniest joke I've seen all year."

"You idiot, I'll blow a smoke ring for you to see."

After saying that, Chen Qingxuan took a deep drag of his cigarette and blew a smoke ring at Wang Fugui.

"Kid, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you've learned some crooked tricks. Brothers, take them down!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and those men who were covering their mouths and noses and carrying steel knives rushed forward.

But the next moment, Wang Fugui went numb. In just over ten breaths, all his skilled fighters collapsed to the ground.

A sharp sword was also placed against his own neck.

"You drunkard, don't you think he's cute? Just like that, you killed him?"

"Should we keep them alive for the New Year?"

“You two despicable scoundrels, using such underhanded methods. If you have the guts, kill me. Even if you kill me, you won’t leave Ganpu.”

Wang Fugui still believes that it was the effect of the mind-control smoke that caused so many of his skilled men to be killed.

"Uh, you idiot, you see, I didn't want to kill him either, he asked for it himself."

After saying that, Chen Qingxuan slit his throat with a single sword stroke.

Chu Chen then dashed towards Wang Fugui's inner room and, after searching for a while, found the so-called treasury.

Meanwhile, Chen Qingxuan, who was outside, lit another cigarette and cursed at Chu Chen, "Money-grubber."

Chu Chen waved his hand and put all the yellow and white objects into his spatial storage.

The box of jade stones with a bluish-green glow placed in the very center filled him with ecstasy.

The box was small, containing only about five or six pieces.

Judging from its placement and the degree of locking, this thing is clearly not an ordinary object.

After holding one piece in his hand, he put the rest into his spatial storage.

Then he ran outside and said, "You drunkard, look at this jade, isn't it very valuable?"

Chen Qingxuan took it and exclaimed, "Damn, this fat guy has some resources. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the jade essence."

"Jade Essence?"

"But we need to show it to Master to confirm. If it is, this thing is priceless."

"Damn it, this is no place to stay any longer, let's get out of here!"

Without returning the jade to Chu Chen, she picked him up and rushed outside.

Before Chu Chen could understand what was happening, he could only hear the rustling of the wind in his ears.

Chen Qingxuan swept the two of them straight over the city wall before finally stopping.

Then his eyes were fixed on what was behind him: "I never expected that Ganpu would have such a master."

"You drunkard, what's going on?"

"I don't know. A powerful expert came to the city we just visited. His cultivation level should be comparable to my master's."

"Damn it, let's get out of here! Are we just going to wait to die?!"

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, he urged Chen Qingxuan, "Grandmasters are no joke."

If we get caught up, and things go wrong even slightly, we'll probably be done for here.

"It's alright, the aura has disappeared, I'm going to rest!"

Just then, on the third floor of the jade shop, an old man with white hair and beard frowned as he looked at the empty space where the precious jade had been placed.

The shopkeeper was kneeling at his feet, trembling all over.

"You mean, this precious jade just disappeared without a trace?"
