Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 268 Preliminary Reconnaissance of Saibei City

That evening, after the refugees from the northern frontier had eaten and drunk their fill, they put on the clothes Chu Chen had given them and snuggled warmly into their tents.

Meanwhile, none of the four people in the SUV were asleep; they were discussing a solution.

“Brother, if what Geng He and the others said is true, then Saibei City has already been occupied by the Bear People Kingdom.”

"If the four of us rush there now, neither Jiu Mengzi nor I can guarantee your safety. What do you think we should do?"

Chu Chen looked at Zhou Heng and voiced his concerns.

"What does my sworn brother think?"

"There are two options. First, we can stay here and wait for the army to arrive."

"Secondly, I'll go have some fun by myself first."

Chu Chen smiled and said to the three of them.

But Zhou Heng immediately rejected the idea after hearing it: "Absolutely not, that's too dangerous."

"No, I don't think there is any danger. Since the Tongtian Divine Sect can open the city gate for the Bear People Kingdom, then naturally they can also open the city gate for the soldiers of our Great Xia."

In fact, Chu Chen had given this decision a lot of thought.

His thought was that since the northern city had been occupied by the Bear People Kingdom, the 20,000 soldiers behind him might not be able to break into the northern city.

Unless, of course, I take the lead, take out that howitzer, and blast open the city gate.

But this presents a problem: in this vast expanse of white, the howitzer could easily be exposed.

Although it had been used in battles several times before, so far, no one except myself had ever seen what it looked like; everyone thought it was a hand grenade.

Moreover, the northern city is not impregnable. If Geng He is right, the northern city is a one-way street with no exits, then I can sneak in.

After the Tongtian Divine Sect submits to the Xiongren Kingdom, it will need people to go out on business. When that happens, it's easy for me to pretend to be a member of the Tongtian Divine Sect.

Moreover, the followers of the Tongtian Divine Cult have a distinctive feature: the sun tattoo on the back of their necks.

There are so many of these in the mall.

As for his own safety, there was even less to worry about. As long as he acted alone, even if he encountered danger, he could hide in that space and the Jade Emperor would not be able to find him.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen pretended to pull out three sun-shaped temporary tattoos from his clothes.

It looks no different from the Tongtian Divine Sect.

"Brother, do you think I'll be able to enter the city safely if I have three of these on me?"

"What is this?" Zhou Heng, Chen Qingxuan, and Fang Shuzhen all looked at Chu Chen with puzzled expressions.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled slightly: "The drunkard will help."

After saying that, he took off his clothes, revealing the back of his neck.

Then, under Chu Chen's guidance, three sun tattoos appeared on the back of Chu Chen's neck in no time.

The three stared in astonishment at Chu Chen's tattoo, with Chen Qingxuan even reaching up to scratch it in disbelief.

I discovered that this thing looks exactly like the tattoo, and I can't get it off no matter what I do.

"Alright, everyone, please now address me as the Protector of the Tongtian Divine Sect!"

"You idiot, are you a member of the Tongtian Divine Cult?"

Chen Qingxuan looked at the tattoo on the back of Chu Chen's neck and asked with a puzzled expression.

"You are the one, your whole family are, you pig-brain, do you understand, sworn brother?"

"Haha, my sworn brother, this method is excellent, but I am still a little worried about your safety."

Zhou Heng laughed when he saw the tattoo, but then looked worried and said...

"Don't worry, if you don't believe me, ask this drunkard. Do you think I'm the kind of person who can be exposed so easily?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, this kid is like an eel!"

After discussing their next plan, the group fell into a deep sleep in the car.

The next morning, Chu Chen and the other three got up early.

As for Geng He and the others, perhaps they were exhausted from their long escape over the past few days, they slept particularly soundly.

Chu Chen didn't wake them up. Instead, he had Fang Shuzhen start a fire and then took out a large pot.

I unloaded two boxes of instant noodles from the car and started cooking breakfast.

As soon as Geng He and the others smelled the aroma of instant noodles, they all crawled out of the tent.

Everyone stared at the huge pot, swallowing hard.

"Mr. Chu, what is this?"

"Haha, Brother Geng, you're up. Let's gather everyone over for breakfast."

After saying that, Chu Chen handed him a disposable bowl and casually put a bowl of noodles in his bowl.

"Young Master Chu, this, this is unacceptable! How can we possibly repay your immense kindness!"

"Brother Geng, you're too kind. If you really want to repay this kindness, then stay here for the next few days and help me protect the three of them."

Chu Chen slurped up a mouthful of noodles and spoke leisurely to Geng He.

"Ah, then, Young Master Chu, you are..."

"I'll go and take a look at that northern city!"

Chu Chen pointed in the direction of Saibei City and slurped up another mouthful of noodles.

Go to Saibei City? Geng He looked at Chu Chen, who seemed completely unfazed. Could this young master be a martial arts master who actually wanted to go to Saibei City alone?

But he seemed to be struggling internally. After a long while, he also slurped up a mouthful of noodles, just like him, and made up his mind to say it.

“Young Master Chu, since you are going to the northern city, let Old Geng accompany you. At least, if you encounter any danger, Old Geng can help you.”

Chu Chen looked at the unshaven middle-aged man in front of him.

Suddenly, I realized that the people of this northern region are actually quite lovable.

So he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, it's inconvenient to bring you along. You and the other three stay here and help me protect them. If nothing unexpected happens, you can set off in three days."

After saying that, Chu Chen put down the bowl and walked towards the SUV.

"You idiot, do you want me to go with you?"

"Don't worry, you drunkard, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle. You stay here and protect Zhou Heng. Remember, don't trust anyone."

Seeing this, Chen Qingxuan nodded, plopped down in the driver's seat, and said nothing more.

Chu Chen's meaning was clear: he wanted to be wary of Geng He and his group.

Chu Chen asked them to protect these three people as a test for him.

If these people really are spies, then after Chu Chen left, someone would definitely leave to find the Great Xia soldiers and gather intelligence.

Or perhaps they would kill Zhou Heng in the middle of the night.

But with Chen Qingxuan around, no matter how much trouble this group caused, they couldn't threaten Zhou Heng.

But if they can stay here and protect Zhou Heng and the other two, then it means there's nothing wrong with them.

Chu Chen had just asked Fang Shuzhen, and he said that this place is only a two-day journey from Saibei City.

You have to understand, this is a frozen wasteland, and no matter what mode of transportation you use, you can't go fast.

So this northern city is not far ahead.

On his first night away, Chu Chen would not leave the transmission range of the walkie-talkie.

In other words, Chen Qingxuan would inform Chu Chen immediately if anything happened here.

If nothing goes wrong after the first night, Chu Chen can safely infiltrate the northern city and make preparations in advance.
