Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 366 Finding More Reasons to Attack Luo

So Luo Sibiao casually drew his long sword from his waist, and the other soldiers rushed to his side, assuming a fighting stance.

"Who goes there? This is Rhodes' delegation. Are you tired of living?"

At Luo Sibiao's shout, the bandits who were charging forward abruptly stopped in their tracks.

The leader was a burly man whose eyes were the only visible part of his body. He spoke to Ross Biao in fluent Rhododendron: "This road is mine, and this tree... damn it, there's no tree here. In short, no matter what kind of delegation you are, if you want to get through here, you have two choices."

Perhaps the wind and snow were too heavy, and he was a little out of breath after saying so much in one breath.

After pausing for a moment, he spoke again: "First, leave your valuables and you may pass. Second, if you resist to the bitter end, you will all remain."

Ross Biao glanced at the rabble in front of him, which he considered to be a mob: "How dare you, you lowly people, to oppose the imperial power! Do you really think you can rob us?"

At this moment, Chu Chen also stepped out of the carriage, wearing a pair of tall boots.

Listening to the chattering and confrontation of the crowd ahead, he turned to the maid and asked, "What's wrong? Did you run into one of Rhodo's bandits?"

"Young master, it's dangerous outside. You should go back to the carriage."

Two maids followed Chu Chen anxiously, though they appeared to be very anxious on the surface.

But Chu Chen glanced at their posture and instantly sensed that these two maids were not simple.

This was also the reason why Chu Chen wanted to go out and watch the excitement—to see if the two people sent by the Kingdom of Luo Duo to monitor him would act the way they usually did.

They chattered away for a while, and soon the two groups clashed.

As Luo Sibiao fought, he retreated, slowly approaching Chu Chen.

Then he called out to the two maids in Rhodo, “You two, protect him well; he cannot be allowed to fall into any danger.”

Chu Chen couldn't understand, but he sensed that after Luo Sibiao finished speaking, the two women stood closely on either side of him, looking wary.

But the bandits didn't seem to be very interested in killing; they continued fighting as they headed toward the wagons loaded with supplies at the back of the group.

Upon seeing Chu Chen and the two women, a group of people immediately rushed over, shouting loudly.

Looking at the crowd's posture, Chu Chen was immediately confused.

I was just standing there watching the show, why are these people coming at me? Could it be that the Kingdom of Rhodo is divided into several factions, and some people don't want me to go to Rhodo?

But he wasn't flustered at all. If it really came down to it, he could take care of these people in no time.

Just as he was thinking, an arrow suddenly came flying towards him.

Immediately afterwards, a long sword slashed towards the three of them.

Chu Chen looked at the incoming arrow. He had a feeling that the arrow was indeed coming towards him, but even if he didn't dodge, it probably wouldn't hit him.

So he silently thought to himself, these people want to kidnap me, not kill me.

The two women beside her saw the attacking bandits and instantly moved, leaping forward to fight the group of bandits.

The two women had no weapons, yet they were able to fight them to a standstill.

Chu Chen found it fascinating.

Just then, a shout rang out, and another group of people rushed over from behind Chu Chen.

In a moment, he arrived in front of Chu Chen and swung his long sword at his shoulder.

Chu Chen dodged to the side, and the leader charged straight at him.

Chu Chen had his back to the soldiers of Luo Duo who were fighting against the mountain bandits.

Just as he was about to kill the person who had charged at him, the man suddenly changed his tune, pulled a letter from his pocket, and stuffed it into Chu Chen's arms.

Chu Chen swiftly took the letter and then instinctively reached out his hand.

Before he could even exert any force, the man was sent flying backwards with a scream.

Just then, a maid saw that Chu Chen was under attack, so she shook off the bandits and came to Chu Chen's side.

Chu Chen put the letter in his pocket with a puzzled look, then turned and headed towards the carriage.

Just as the battle seemed to be raging, a sudden shout of battle came from the direction of Daxia.

The man who appeared to be a general rushed over, shouting, "You audacious Rhodo people! How dare you attack my Great Xia envoys? Do you intend to provoke a war between Great Xia and Rhodo?"

As they shouted, the army rushed over. Seeing that things were not going well, the bandits turned around and fled in the direction of Luo Duo.

As the bandit leader ran, he shouted in the unfamiliar Daxia language, "You mere Daxia, you mere Daxia envoy, what do I, Luo Duo, have to fear? Just wait, I'll kill you, Daxia envoy, sooner or later."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sibiao immediately sensed a conspiracy; something seemed amiss.

If they really were bandits from the Rhodo Mountains, how did they get past the border guards?

But at this moment, he couldn't explain what was going on.

After the bandits left, a man who looked like a general from the Great Xia Dynasty walked up to Chu Chen's carriage and said, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry you had a fright. Please come back to Great Xia with me. As for Luo Duo, it's better not to go."

Upon seeing this, Luo Sibiao quickly stepped forward: "General, it was my fault for not managing things properly. Please forgive me, General and Young Master Chu."

"Hmph, the attack as soon as you cross the border, was it all premeditated by you Rhodes?"

General Da Xia looked at Luo Sibiao and spoke righteously.

Chu Chen found the scene somewhat amusing, from the person handing over the letter to the sudden appearance of the Great Xia soldiers.

It's not hard to see that this was probably another bad idea from Zhou Shixun.

Although I haven't read the contents of the letter yet, I can guess what it contains.

But Rhodes definitely had to go; otherwise, he would have suffered this ordeal for nothing.

So he quickly stepped forward and said in cooperation, "General, this visit to Luoduo will help increase exchanges between Luoduo and Daxia, and will have a profound impact on the development of both Daxia and Luoduo. Even if Luoduo has ulterior motives, I will still go."

"However, if I suffer any mishap in Luoduo, or if I fail to return to Daxia within a month, I urge the general to avenge me and Daxia."

The man who looked like a general looked at Chu Chen and smiled slightly.

He quickly saluted and said, "Sir, you are very righteous. Rest assured, we will wait here. If you do not return to Great Xia within a month, we men of Great Xia will definitely cross this mountain to find you in Luoduo!"

Luo Sibiao was even more puzzled after hearing this.

Looking at Chu Chen and the general in front of him, the two of them probably don't know each other.

It's as if they planned this all along; they're speaking in a very logical and eloquent way. The implication is clear: if the ambassador doesn't return for a month, the Great Xia army will have a reason to attack Luo Duo.

But it takes a month to travel from Great Xia to the capital of Rhodo and back. What a joke! It's too obvious!

But he couldn't say anything, so he left it to King Rhodo to handle.

In another seven or eight days, we should be able to reach the capital of Rhodes. There's still some time before January.

After listening, Chu Chen bowed to the general and turned to walk towards the carriage.
