Supreme Divine Dynasty: Begin To Usurp the Throne and Become Emperor
Chapter 67: The Industrial Revolution of the Xuanling Empire
"Isn't this Scar Cui? Damn, why are we so unlucky!"
Just then, other members of the caravan started whispering.
With Su Chen's cultivation as a ninth-rank martial artist, the conversations of these people naturally reached his ears.
"Yeah, I heard that Scar Cui used to be a butcher in Xuanwu City, but he offended the Lin family in Xuanwu City, so he had to flee to the wilderness and become a bandit."
"After this guy entered the wilderness, it seemed as if his wildness had been fully released. It is unbelievable that he formed such a powerful robber group in just a few months."
"What's the use of saying this, don't forget that we are the ones being robbed now!"
"That's right, with Scar Cui, a butcher who kills without batting an eyelid, it's hard for us to go back alive!"
The members of these caravans were discussing in low voices, with fear on their faces.
Through the words of these caravan members, Su Chen managed to get some information.
That is, the leader of the robbers, surnamed Cui, was called Dao Scar Cui. After he was forced to become a bandit, he did many things such as robbing houses, killing people and setting fires, which can be said to be heinous.
"What are you talking about?! Come on, search for me!"
Scar Cui gave a low growl and ordered.
So, a group of robbers behind him swarmed up, they pushed all the caravan members away, and then entered the carriages to search for money.
Su Chen protected Gu Ning'er behind him, he stepped back a few steps to make way for these robbers, and then stood in the distance and watched quietly.
Soon, boxes of treasures were moved out of the carriage by these robbers and piled up in front of Scar Cui.
Seeing this, Dao Scar Cui laughed wildly happily: "This is really a huge profit! This money is at least enough for the brothers to live and eat for a month!"
As Scar Cui's voice fell, the robbers also cheered.
For these robbers, having a bite to eat is enough to make them work hard for it.
At this moment, Scar Cui caught a glimpse of Gu Ning'er hiding behind Su Chen from the corner of his eye.
Scar Cui's eyes lit up when he saw such a petite and cute girl.
He walked towards Su Chen, he seemed to ignore Su Chen's existence, and just reached out to push Su Chen away.
While stretching out his hand, he said with a sinister smile: "Little girl, I think you are helpless here, why don't you just follow me?"
Hearing this, Gu Ning'er didn't have any fear, she just stood quietly behind Su Chen.
She believed that Su Chen would take care of all this for her.
Sure enough, after hearing the words of Scar Cui, Su Chen's face turned cold.
Heh, I didn't want to cause more trouble, so I told you to leave as soon as possible.
But since you want to die, don't blame me for being merciless!
Su Chen's eyes are as cold as ice, and there is a murderous intent flashing in the depths of those deep eyes.
At this time, Scar Cui's hand had already been pushed on Su Chen's shoulder, but Su Chen remained motionless.
Seeing this, Scar Cui's face showed some surprise.
But just when he was about to say something, a silvery white light flashed away.
Immediately afterwards, a line of blood appeared on Scar Cui's neck.
This line of blood rapidly enlarged, and blood flowers burst out in the blink of an eye.
Scar Cui's head was smoothed out from his body, and the incision was very smooth, as if it had been measured with a ruler.
The scarlet blood flowers bloomed, Scar Cui's head rolled on the ground "gurgling", while his body fell limply to the ground.
"If you don't die, you won't die!"
Su Chen's voice was cold.
hum~
Accompanied by the sound of a sword, a white light formed a crescent moon in the air, and cut in the direction of the robber.
But in an instant, the dozens of robbers were cut to death one after another, and their large intestines and other organs were scattered all over the ground, staining the grass red with blood.
After killing all the robbers, Su Chen reinserted the snow-white long sword into the scabbard.
"I'm sorry, Ning'er, I surprised you!"
Su Chen turned around and said softly to the girl in front of him.
However, Gu Ning'er didn't seem to be as scared as Su Chen thought, her eyes were full of adoration.
Su Chen vaguely remembered where he had seen such eyes.
Oh, I remembered!
Those were Su Jinxi's adoring eyes after the peace treaty was signed!
"My lord, please spare our lives!"
At this time, the members of these caravans knelt down to Su Chen one after another, shouting in their mouths.
Su Chen shook his head slightly, and said, "You didn't do anything to me, so naturally I won't hurt you."
With that said, Su Chen turned around and walked forward, with one hand on the dozen or so boxes of treasures.
With the flash of silver light, he put all these dozen boxes of treasures into the system backpack.
"Ning'er, it seems that we can only go to Xuanwu City on foot." Su Chen said helplessly.
Gu Ning'er shook her head and said, "It's fine."
Because the two lost their carriage, and Gu Ning'er was afraid of heights, she didn't dare to let Su Chen take her to fly, so the two of them delayed for another day before arriving at the gate of Xuanwu City.
On both sides of the city gate, dozens of officers and soldiers of the city defense army held tubular weapons and watched vigilantly at the crowd queuing to enter the city.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ning'er had no idea, but felt that the weapons in the hands of these soldiers looked very strange.
But in Su Chen's heart, it caused a storm.
"This is... a rifle?!"
Su Chen whispered incredulously.
Yes, the tubular weapon in the hands of these soldiers is exactly a thermal weapon rifle!
And the shape of this rifle is very similar to the Mauser rifle Su Chen saw in his previous life!
Could it be that the Xuanling Empire has developed to such a degree in terms of military affairs? !
Su Chen thought so.
Naturally, he didn't think that there would be any other traversers in the Xuanling Empire. After all, if there were really other traversers, then this firearm could not be as simple as a single-shot rifle.
At the very least, it must be a semi-automatic rifle, right?
With such thoughts in mind, Su Chen and Gu Ning'er passed through the city gate and entered Xuanwu City.
After coming to Xuanwu City, Su Chen was shocked again.
What he saw around him were not wooden houses with tiled roofs, but steel factories!
Chimneys were erected one after another, and a large amount of black smoke was discharged from the chimneys, and then diluted in the air.
"What is the situation in Xuanling Empire?!"
Su Chen was a little unbelievable.
However, at this moment, the voices of conversations from the surrounding residents of Xuanwu City gave him the answer.
"Have you heard, there seems to be some conflict between the parliament and His Majesty, it seems to be related to tax collection!"
"Ham, why do you care about these things? What does this have to do with ordinary people like us?"
"Of course it has something to do with it. If the parliament can win the right to collect taxes from His Majesty, we might not have to pay so many miscellaneous taxes!"
"Hehe, what are you thinking? Isn't this council also for the benefit of those nobles? Even if the right to collect taxes is seized by the council, those damned nobles will ultimately benefit, not us!"
...
Su Chen worked hard to extract useful information from these conversations, and finally, he came up with an answer that even he himself could not believe.
Is the Xuanling Empire undergoing an industrial revolution? !
Brothers, ask for a recommendation ticket~
