Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1521: Fighting Tigers on the Way to Beijing

"Dog Master, I have three..."

"Dog, there were four of us. There was one alive, but we didn't need him later, so we killed him!"

"Haha, thank you, boss! Thank you, Dog Master!"

Chu Chen ignored their joy and went back to the carriage to catch up on his sleep.

The next morning, Chu Chen led them to finish breakfast early and then set off in the carriage.

This time, he changed his route and changed his destination from Seoul to Gyeongsang!

If someone provokes you, and keeps coming back like a ghost, it would make you seem weak if you didn't retaliate.

On the way, Chu Chen said to Gou Shengzi, "Have someone ride a fast horse to inform Pang Hu, and tell him to bring the things I asked him to make and wait for us on the road."

"This time, Brother Chen will take the two of you to cause a ruckus in the capital!"

After saying that, Chu Chen tossed a pistol to Gou Shengzi: "You've seen this thing many times before. You're someone I trust, so you'll be learning how to use it from me for the next few days."

Gou Shengzi was overjoyed after hearing this, thinking that Brother Chen had finally recognized him.

In the days that followed, the guards who had been bought would hear those loud noises from time to time.

Gou Shengzi sat on the roof of the carriage, holding a pistol in one hand. As they passed through the mountains and forests, he would occasionally pull the trigger and fire bullets at the wild animals that were not afraid of people.

Whenever Gou Shengzi catches prey, they drag it back for him and then give it to him as an extra meal that night.

Seeing Gou Shengzi's marksmanship improving, Chu Chen smiled with satisfaction.

Moreover, his carriage was carrying tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, as well as a large amount of white sugar.

At this moment, Gou Shengzi had a pistol in his hand. If he had any rebellious intentions, he could have easily shot himself on the roof of the carriage.

With his powerful weapons, dealing with these guards wouldn't be difficult. Then, he could take his enormous wealth and live a life of luxury.

But after ten days or so, apart from hunting every day, he remained as respectful to Chu Chen as ever, which put Chu Chen at ease.

On the fifteenth day, a tiger suddenly rushed out of the forest.

As usual, Gou Shengzi pulled the trigger on the tiger.

Little did they know that this very action almost led to their complete annihilation.

The bullet pierced the tiger's left leg. Enraged, the tiger went berserk in pain and pounced on Gou Shengzi.

Chu Chen was sitting on the carriage shaft when he was startled to see the tiger pounce.

He rolled over and entered the carriage.

He quickly picked up the submachine gun from under the mat.

Seeing the tiger pounce, Gou Shengzi fired a shot and, realizing the situation was dire, immediately drew his sword from his waist.

The guards panicked and drew their weapons, moving towards Chu Chen's carriage.

"Protect the boss, hurry..."

With a loud crash, the giant tiger slammed into the carriage.

Fortunately, the carriage was made of super strong steel plates, which is why it was not damaged in the crash.

Having missed its first attack, the tiger immediately set its sights on the horses in front of the carriage.

At that critical moment, Chu Chen pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Since the tiger was right next to the carriage, Chu Chen fired through the window, and almost instantly, seven or eight bullets all went into the tiger's stomach.

The tiger let out a mournful howl, lurched a few times, and then collapsed to the ground.

After waking up, Chu Chen looked at the guards who were rushing towards him without regard for their lives, and Gou Shengzi who drew his sword and aimed it at the tiger without flinching. His heart warmed. These people were willing to risk their lives to protect him and were not afraid of such a giant tiger. This kind of sentiment was truly rare.

"Gentlemen, weren't you afraid when you rushed over?"

“Master, are you scared? Of course you are! This thing looks like it weighs at least five or six hundred pounds. Let alone a bite, a slap could kill a person.”

"Heh, then why are you still risking your lives to protect me?"

"Master, without you, we wouldn't even have enough to eat, let alone money. We wouldn't be able to see our families again. We're all roughnecks, and you're a good man. We're all grateful to you."

Chu Chen felt a warmth in his heart: "Alright, you are all kind and loyal to me, so I will not treat you unfairly."

“We’ll drag this tiger along and take it to the town ahead. We’ll sell it for a good price, and the money will be split equally among you guys and Gou Shengzi.”

After saying that, Chu Chen pulled Gou Shengzi into the carriage.

"You must have been terrified. You were quite brave just now."

“Brother Chen, I caused this mess. If you get hurt because of me, the entire Liexi Village will not let me off the hook.”

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this: "Alright, next time you encounter large prey, tell me first before you hunt."

"And one more thing, you must always remember that you are a member of Liexi Village. No matter how high you rise in the future, you must remember the road you came from and the place where you were born."

Gou Shengzi nodded.

"Don't worry, Brother Chen. Even Gou Shengzi understands this principle. Although I have no parents, everyone in Liexi Village is my family."

Chu Chen didn't continue speaking, but instead instructed him to hurry onward.

The guards were overjoyed; this giant tiger was sure to fetch several hundred or even a thousand taels of silver.

With so many people, there were eight of them in total, so each person would receive about one hundred taels of silver.

One hundred taels of silver! Let alone the fact that they are now servants bought by Chu Chen, even ordinary people would not dare to imagine such a price.

If you rely on farming, you probably won't be able to save up this much money in your entire life.

Now, the family no longer has to go hungry.

Everyone expressed their gratitude as they packed up the giant tiger and loaded it into the car.

Then head towards the town ahead.

In the afternoon, the group entered a small town, where the giant tiger tied to the carriage immediately attracted a lot of attention.

A moment later, two men who looked like constables came over: "Did you kill this tiger?"

Upon hearing this, the fourth guard immediately nodded with a fawning smile: "Sir, it was my master who did it."

"Oh." The constable turned and glanced at the carriage in front of him after hearing this.

Then he immediately stopped them and said, "Gentlemen, the tiger we hunted in Liuyun Town belongs to Liuyun Town."

"The head of the household, please say something."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself that there are people like this everywhere.

So he slowly stepped out of the carriage and looked at the two constables: "Gentlemen, I don't think there's such a rule in our Great Song Dynasty. If a tiger comes out of the mountains to harm people, we can be considered tiger-hunting heroes. What, did we kill the wrong tiger?"

The constable glanced at Chu Chen, and seeing that he was a stranger, he immediately waved his hand impatiently and said.

"You bastards, who said you hit the wrong person? You just hit the tiger of my Liuyun Town, so the tiger has to stay in Liuyun Town. As for you, you will receive a reward of ten taels of silver."
