Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 57 The Compound Bow Shows Its Power

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he went into the tea room.

He took out the pistol from the drawer of the tea table and tucked it into his waistband, also taking two extra magazines with him.

He went outside and called out to Feng Er: "Uncle Feng Er, the bandits are here, and they don't mean any harm. When the time comes, find a place to hide behind me and watch my hand signals."

Feng Er nodded after listening. "Is this kid a deity? How come those wretched bandits came as soon as he handed me this magical artifact?"

This is perfect! I've been practicing all day, and I was just worried I wouldn't have the chance.

Chu Chen jogged along the road into the village and encountered the Third Leader and Wang Defa.

"Oh, Uncle Wang, we have a guest."

Chu Chen took the pistol from his waist and hid it inside his wide sleeve.

When Wang Defa saw Chu Chen arrive, he suddenly felt as if he had found his pillar of support.

"It's Chuwazi! This is the third leader of the Fierce Tiger Hall on Green Ox Mountain. Why don't you go up and greet him?"

Wang Defa had a serious expression on his face and kept giving Chu Chen meaningful glances.

"So it's the third boss. He's here to collect the money. Uncle Wang, I remember we've already collected the money. This is..."

Chu Chen pointed to the group of people in front of him and said.

At this moment, Hu Zi and the others also heard the news and rushed over.

The dozen or so soldiers on duty in the mountains were suddenly alerted by a sharp-eyed man who sensed something was wrong and immediately ran toward the man in the lead.

"Boss, something's up. Those people down the mountain seem to be bandits."

After saying that, he pointed to Chu Chen and his group who were facing off in Mashan Village.

"Quickly, assemble, and descend the mountain immediately."

The man in the lead didn't dare to delay and immediately led the group towards Mashan Village at the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, the third leader's eyes sharpened as he looked at Chu Chen in front of him.

He was dressed in fine silks and satins, the kind of clothes only city dwellers would wear, giving him the air of a wealthy family.

He then said, "Oh, young man, are you the benefactor who helped build the new house in Mashan Village?"

“I, Ma Laosan, have come here today to borrow some money from you. Life on Qingniu Mountain is tough. Why don’t you bring your brothers to your place for a visit?”

What a joke! You're dreaming! If you found out about those beautiful women in your house, you'd be ready to fight me to the death.

Looking at the twenty or so people behind Ma Laosan, he was making calculations in his mind.

With Feng Er behind him, he could probably shoot down several people, and with his own pistol at such close range, it would be both fast and accurate.

With three magazines full and twenty-four bullets, Chu Chen was honestly not afraid at all.

However, if it's possible to keep many things from being exposed, then it's best to keep them from being exposed.

So he flipped his hand and took out a ten-tael silver ingot, and said it to Ma Laosan in front of him.

"Since the Third Master has come in person, how can we let you leave empty-handed? Consider these ten taels as a token of our respect from Mashan Village."

When Ma Laosan saw the silver in Chu Chen's hand, he immediately burst into laughter.

"You think you can treat me like a beggar? If you know what's good for you, get out of my way and tell me what kind of goods you're delivering each month. Otherwise, you'll be my knife."

Just then, Hu Zi and several other young men arrived behind Chu Chen, carrying long knives.

"Oh, what's wrong with you bunch of unruly people from this poor, remote place? You think you can resist?"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of Ma Laosan's henchmen raised his knife and slashed at Chu Chen.

Behind him, Feng Er raised his composite bow and shot an arrow.

It pierced through the man's skull in an instant.

"There's an ambush! Take this kid down first!" Seeing the situation was bad, Ma Laosan shouted and rushed towards Chu Chen.

"Haha, these mere bandits are so arrogant. Do they really think our Mashan Village is easy to bully?"

At that moment, Chu Chen also moved. He waved his hand and pointed, and suddenly a loud bang was heard.

Ma Laosan never dreamed that simply coming to collect a gift would cost him his life.

The group of underlings were startled by the gunshot and stopped in their tracks. Had they seen a ghost? The man in front of them pointed at the third leader.

The third leader had a bloody hole in his head and was now dead beyond any doubt.

In fact, it only took a moment. This was exactly the effect Chu Chen wanted. Once he scared them, the group wouldn't have much fighting spirit left.

Right after Chu Chen fired the shot, Hu Zi pulled Chu Chen up by the back.

"Chu boy, run! Brother will hold them off for you."

After saying that, he swung his long sword at the nearest henchman. The henchman raised his sword to block, and with a crisp sound, the man's sword broke in two.

Tiger may not have much else, but he's incredibly strong. His long knife swung with undiminished force, slashing fiercely at the man.

The man's head was instantly chopped off in half.

In an instant, red and white splattered all over Tiger's face.

After all, they were just farm kids from the mountains, and had never seen anything like this before. They only acted out of a moment of courage.

He then vomited with a loud "whoosh".

At that moment, three more henchmen, having realized what was happening, rushed up the mountain.

Feng Er shot down one of them from behind, and Chu Chen raised his hand, about to fire.

However, more than a dozen soldiers rushed over in an instant.

They immediately headed towards the bandits.

Faced with those disorganized mountain bandits, they were all wiped out by these soldiers in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Another fast runner was shot in the stomach by an arrow from Feng Er behind him and fell to the ground.

His throat was slit by the soldiers who arrived later.

Chu Chen knew that Zhou Heng had mentioned this when the agreement was signed, regarding the sudden arrival of these soldiers.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this time.

After killing all the bandits who came, the leading soldier walked up to Chu Chen and said, "Young Master Chu, this incident was our oversight. Please punish us."

"Brother, you flatter me. May I ask your name? Where has Zhou Heng arranged for you?"

Chu Chen went straight to the point and asked.

Tang Jiangtao pointed to the back mountain and answered Chu Chen in front of him.

"I am Tang Jiangtao, the leader sent by Young Master Zhou Heng to protect Mashan Village. We usually stay there so as not to disturb everyone."

Chu Chen followed his gaze and immediately shook his head.

Who the hell set this up? Why didn't they station them in Qingniu Town?

However, he was very grateful to Tang Jiangtao and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Jiangtao. Is Zhou Heng out of his mind to arrange for you to be in that shabby place? It must be very difficult for you."

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, Tang Jiangtao was so frightened that he immediately knelt down. This man in front of him really dared to speak his mind.

Although the Eighth Prince was kind to people, he didn't just spout off like that.

"Young Master Zhou was also considering that we might disturb everyone, so... Please understand, Young Master Chu."
