Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1553: Nightmare Pill Reappears

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen jumped up, startling Gou Shengzi.

"Young master, why are you so agitated?"

"Um... You can go out first. I just suddenly heard the word 'elixir' and it brought back some memories. You know, when we were little, my dad would force me to take an elixir every day. It gave me a psychological trauma."

Gou Shengzi nodded. Indeed, everyone in Liexi Village knew that although Chu Chen was tough and resilient from a young age and fearless, the only thing he feared was the dark pill in his father's hand.

No matter how unruly he is, as long as his father takes out the pills, this guy will obediently run away.

"Brother Chen, so many years have passed, there's no need to make a fuss."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

After Gou Shengzi left, Chu Chen fell into deep thought, from the pill he had taken as a child to the pill that had appeared again.

Chu Chen understood that someone was definitely causing trouble behind the scenes.

I'm afraid Dong Shilan's situation is similar. One second they're all lovey-dovey and their negative feelings are intertwined, and the next second they want to kill themselves. Could it be that someone is also instigating this?

And this route... he always felt something was off. Suddenly someone appeared and wanted to organize a large army to fight against him. Is this guy crazy?

Then there is only one possibility: there is a traitor by the side of the Lord of the Universe. Someone does not want him to be the Lord of the Universe, so he takes advantage of his training to get rid of him.

Not only must one's physical body be destroyed, but one's soul must also be destroyed.

This pill is either one that destroys the soul, or one that allows one to control oneself.

This person has a very malicious mind.

It seems that his crisis is never over. Even after going to the world for trials, there are still people who want to kill him.

From now on, I'll have to be more careful. If I accidentally fall into a trap, it doesn't matter if I've lived for hundreds of years; when I die, my eggs will face the sky.

But with so many people behind him, what about Li Qinglian and her group, and the drunkard and his gang? They'll probably be living a life they can't live, and they'll be wishing they were dead.

I need to speed up my own training.

Moreover, he hadn't seen the pill yet, so he couldn't be sure if it was the one his father had gotten from the old Taoist priest when he was a child.

It seems I absolutely must meet this guy, and not only meet him, but also get that pill from him so I can feed it to him and see its effects.

After thinking it through, Chu Chen went to Fatty Tiger's place again.

Fat Tiger was holding the book he had given him and studying its contents when he saw Chu Chen arrive. He immediately got up to greet him.

"Brother Chen, is everything settled over there?"

"Gou Shengzi is already recruiting and training soldiers. How's it going on your end?"

"You've gained weight again in no time."

"Hehe, I ate a whole lamb yesterday, how could I not get fat? People only like me when I'm fat, right?"

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this. It seems that being fat or thin really is a matter of constitution. The other day, Fat Tiger looked so skinny, but after eating for only a few days, he started to gain weight. He believed that it was only a matter of time before Fat Tiger returned to his peak.

"By the way, how's things going on your end?"

"Everything is going smoothly, Brother Chen. You organized so many people beforehand, so progress is fast. Tito has already led people to manufacture weapons."

"As for gunpowder, I'll work hard in the meantime and get it working too."

"The salt production workshop is also proceeding smoothly. Brother Chen, we can't make that soap you mentioned yet. Everyone is too poor and lacks oil."

Chu Chen nodded after listening: "It's alright. Let's make other money-making things too. We'll manufacture them first, and then sell them when the world is at peace."

"No problem, you can leave it to me with confidence."

Fat Tiger was a reliable person, so Chu Chen was relieved.

As for the management of the entire northern desert region, it's quite simple: like an ancient emperor, hold daily meetings to assign tasks. It's not yet time to frequently go deep into the grassroots. The most important thing is to resolve the situation in the north as soon as possible before the Song Dynasty can react.

I prepared for six months, and after that, I was ready to go.

At that time, regardless of whether the route attacks or not, we must take the initiative to strike. We cannot delay, nor can we afford to delay. Everything requires money.

Just as they were making steady progress in the northern desert.

In the imperial study of the Song capital, Lu Jixing and Lu Yiping knelt tremblingly before Dong Shilan.

"Your Majesty? What did you say? Colluding with the enemy and betraying the country?"

“That’s right, Sister Yiping, we were all fooled by his appearance. He betrayed us after the campaign against the Xiongnu.”

"He raised his own army among the Xiongnu and renamed the Xiongnu as Mobei."

Lu Yiping looked on in disbelief. How could the man she had been so devoted to have betrayed his country and colluded with the enemy?

He's so outstanding, capable of creating so many things that made the Song Kingdom stronger, how could he betray us? Could it be that he wants to become emperor himself?

"Your Majesty, Chu Chen, he..."

"Okay, that's the truth, so you have to believe it whether you like it or not."

"Moreover, I know about your relationship with him, and he has told me a lot of bad things about you, including what you did in the room."

Hearing Dong Shilan's words, Lu Yiping was both angry and ashamed. She never expected that Chu Chen would tell such a thing to others.

Lu Jixing, who was standing to the side, could not stand it any longer: "Your Majesty, we have suffered such a great humiliation. We beg Your Majesty to do justice for the Lu family."

Dong Shilan smiled after hearing this: "Don't worry, I am not a petty person. Since Chu Chen has been so treacherous, he must pay the price he deserves."

“Lord Lu, Chu Chen’s arsenal has been burned down, and Fatty Tiger has disappeared without a trace. Therefore, I am sending you with your Lu family and Sister Yiping to the Xiongnu to get close to Chu Chen and find out whether they have started building an arsenal in the Xiongnu and whether Fatty Tiger has fled to the Xiongnu.”

"Sir, obey!"

Lu Jixing brought his daughter Lu Yiping out and immediately returned to Seoul.

Lu Yiping asked nervously, "Father, are we really going to become His Majesty's inside men?"

"Heh, Chu Chen treats you like this, do you still harbor any illusions about him?"

"Father... your daughter is just!"

"Alright, that's enough. Hurry up and pack your things, call your younger brothers, sisters, and aunts, and take all the money from home. We're going to the northern desert."

"Father, why did you bring them all?"

"Listen to your father, you're right. Not only should you bring them, but you should also secretly bring them in batches. When you get to the northern desert, your father will tell you the reason."

After saying that, Lu Jixing secretly went to make the arrangements.

Looking at Lu Jixing's decision, Lu Yiping suddenly seemed to understand what her father was going to do.
