Chapter 1537 Mei Du's Escape Changes Route
“I know you have hatred in your heart, but anger won’t solve anything. What you need to do right now is to heal your wounds.”
"Once you recover from your injuries, you will learn martial arts from me. Although you have no foundation, once you have mastered the skills, killing an ordinary person will be no problem at all. At the very least, you will be more powerful than the so-called generals of the Song Kingdom."
The man in the lead stood up as he spoke.
Then he walked up to the young man and said, "If you agree, nod your head and, by the way, hand over the key to the treasure vault."
The young man remained silent, instead taking a key from his pocket and handing it over.
Looking at the key in the young man's hand, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Alright, you are willing to hand over the hidden treasure of your Mei family to me. From now on, there will be no more Mei Du in this world. From this moment on, you will have a new name, Lu You."
"Thank you for your guidance, sir."
The young man finally spoke. Yes, he was Mei Du, the only son of the Mei family, but now he was not called Mei Du, but Lu You.
"I am not an adult. I am just a Taoist priest from the Song Kingdom. Please call me Master or True Man Liuyun."
"Disciple Lu You greets Master!"
"My dear disciple, you have suffered such a great calamity. Go and rest for a few days. We'll talk again in a few days."
After Liu Yun finished speaking, he waved to the outside, and several people came in. They then led him directly into the side room and arranged for him to sleep.
Two hours later, just as Mei Du was fast asleep, he suddenly felt a wave of heat hit him.
He opened his eyes and nearly fainted from fright.
Before him, a red-hot iron mask was forcefully placed on his face.
"Ah... Master, what's wrong... It hurts so much, Master!"
“My disciple, don’t blame your master. I’m doing this for your own good. After all, your face is all too familiar in the capital.”
After hearing Liu Yun's words, Lu You immediately shut his mouth.
Yes, I am so familiar with my face that even the street vendors and peddlers can easily recognize me.
Therefore, if you want to truly become a router, you must pass this test.
At this moment, he was enduring immense pain, yet his heart was filled with boundless hatred. He hated Chu Chen and Dong Shilan for being so merciless.
Not only did it prevent him from being a man, but it also made him suffer such immense pain. You have to understand, he has a handsome face.
But what use is it now? He can't even visit brothels anymore; he's completely useless.
Six months later, in a secluded courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, a young man was practicing a set of sword techniques, holding a knife in his hand.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man was pointing and gesturing nearby.
"My disciple, you have made good progress. I never expected you to have such talent in martial arts. It seems that I, Daoist Liuyun, have a worthy successor."
As Lu You listened to his master's praise, an ugly smile appeared on his face, but it only lasted for a moment before he reverted to a cold expression, as if everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
At night, Lu You came to the mirror and looked at his face, which was already unrecognizable. A single tear slowly fell.
Immediately afterwards, he punched the smooth bronze mirror, but even so, as long as he looked down, he could see an even more distorted version of himself through the dented bronze mirror.
"Chu Chen, once I have mastered my skills, I will make you pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold for all the suffering I have endured today."
Chu Chen was unaware of all this; at that moment, he was in the arsenal, inspecting the newly manufactured machine guns.
Fat Tiger, swaying his fat, followed behind him carrying a box of bullets: "Brother Chen, can this stuff really deal with cavalry?"
"Hehe, you'll see its power when you see it later."
"With this in hand, what are cavalry? I'll give you two thousand men, armed with machine guns, and you can take over a country."
Beside Fat Tiger, Gou Shengzi silently hugged a box containing several small, cute, dark, round balls.
The three arrived at the testing ground at the foot of the mountain.
Chu Chen set up the machine gun, then lay down on the soft sand.
"Fat Tiger, come load the ammunition belt for me."
Chu Chen didn't plan to use a magazine for this machine gun, perhaps because his manufacturing process couldn't meet the requirements, so the thing often jammed and was extremely troublesome to maintain.
So he ordered the arsenal to produce ammunition belts.
After half a year, the arsenal has become exceptionally large.
Not only has a complete production line for pistols and submachine guns been established, but now the first machine gun has also been manufactured.
Under Chu Chen's guidance, Fat Tiger quickly helped Chu Chen load the ammunition belt. Chu Chen aimed at a large tree in front of him and immediately pulled the trigger.
The sound of rattling echoed, and soon, wood chips flew everywhere. This time, Chu Chen pushed the machine gun to its limit.
Looking at the red-hot gun barrel and the fallen tree, Chu Chen's face showed a satisfied smile.
However, Gou Shengzi and Pang Hu were very puzzled. They had seen guns before, but this was something that Chu Chen had described in such a wonderful way?
It's just a big tree; you can use an axe yourself.
Chu Chen replaced the barrel with a new one. This time, he picked up the machine gun and fired bullets at a large rock in front of him.
This time, Gou Shengzi and Pang Hu were stunned. In an instant, stones flew everywhere, and the big rock was actually smashed into a pile of fragments by this thing.
"Brother Chen, with a machine gun in hand, I'm afraid no one in the world can beat me."
"Haha, now what do you think of the Xiongnu cavalry?"
"Them? Haha, give Fat Tiger two thousand men and he'll dare to face ten thousand cavalry."
Chu Chen did not refute, but Fatty Tiger still underestimated the power of the machine gun. However, they didn't need to know that. It wasn't time for a major battle yet. They would know how powerful it was when they deployed it in a war.
Then, he looked at Gou Shengzi beside him: "Gou Shengzi, bring over that box of siege weapons, let's give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Gou Shengzi immediately grabbed the box and placed it in front of Chu Chen.
The box contained simple hand grenades.
However, it was made a bit larger than later hand grenades. Its only drawback was that it required ignition instead of firing.
Chu Chen took a grenade out of the box, lit the fuse, and threw it to the other side with all his might.
With a loud bang, everyone in the arsenal was stunned. They knew they were making weapons, but they never expected that the weapons they made would cause such a commotion.
Little did they know that a group of people in the residential houses surrounding the arsenal also heard the loud noise.
"Sir, we can't wait any longer. Their products are getting better every day. Let's get started."
