"I will not refuse death even if it means death. I am extremely terrified!"

"It was because I didn't know people well that I fell into the trap of the treacherous man and nearly lost my life."

"I have failed your majesty's high expectations and I deserve to be executed!"

"nonsense!"

Zhu Di's face turned pale and he helped Chu Ze up.

"How can I blame you?"

"You have devoted your life to the country and the people."

"How could I not know such a loyal and righteous act?"

Zhu Di held Chu Ze's hand tightly with a firm tone.

"I will thoroughly investigate this matter and will not tolerate it!"

Chu Ze was deeply moved and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is so magnanimous. I am deeply grateful!"

"Okay, stop being sensational."

Zhu Di coughed twice uncomfortably and changed the subject:

"By the way, the Jade Seal of Destiny and the Void-Breaking Sword are both in your hands now, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze hurriedly took out two treasures from his arms and presented them respectfully.

"That's right, these two magical objects are what saved my life."

Zhu Di looked at it for a long time and sighed:

"In the dark, there is God's will."

"Such spiritual objects must be of great use."

"Let me leave it to you, my dear, for safekeeping."

Chu Ze didn't deserve it and declined it quickly.

"Your Majesty, how dare I overstep my authority?"

"This is a heavy weapon, please..."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhu Di waved his hand and said meaningfully:

"The world is not at peace yet, and border troubles have not been eliminated."

“These two treasures may still come in handy.”

"I'll leave it to you, my dear minister. I'm most relieved."

Seeing that Zhu Di was determined, Chu Ze had no choice but to accept the order.

"The minister obeys the order."

"besides."

Zhu Di paused, as if he had something to hide.

"Your Majesty, please speak." Chu Ze said respectfully.

Zhu Di sighed and said slowly:
"The gang of treacherous people in the capital are colluding with the Tatars. They deserve to be killed!"

"Especially Zhu Biao, he is my sworn enemy!"

When Zhu Biao was mentioned, Zhu Di's eyes were filled with rage.

"After you recover from your injuries, I will personally appoint you to wipe out his lair and kill him completely!"

"Yes!" Chu Ze responded with a firm look in his eyes.

"I will avenge this vengeance!"

"Okay!" Zhu Di nodded heavily, turned around and instructed the eunuch beside him:

"Go, prepare a place for General Chu to rest."

"Be sure to use the best medicine and take good care of yourself."

"If you are even slightly negligent, I will kill you!"

"Yes! I will obey your order."

The eunuch received the order tremblingly and retreated in a hurry.

Zhu Di then breathed a sigh of relief and patted Chu Ze on the shoulder.

"Just focus on your recovery and don't worry about other things."

"The day you recover from your injury will be the day when those traitors will be executed!"

Chu Ze was grateful and bowed down again.

"I will follow your majesty's instructions and serve you with all my heart and soul until death!"

The atmosphere inside the hall is solemn yet warm.

A wise ruler and his loyal ministers appreciate each other and are as close as brothers.

After a long time, Zhu Di left reluctantly.

Before leaving, he repeatedly told the imperial physician to take good care of him.

Chu Ze watched Zhu Di go away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

In just a few months, so many dramatic events happened.

Crossing, making achievements, and fighting
Various scenes came one after another.

It seems like a lifetime ago, yet so real.

And he himself had risen from a commoner to become a national hero.

All of this is thanks to God’s favor.

And who is that mysterious old man?
What is the profound meaning of his parting advice?
Chu Ze closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

All kinds of doubts linger in my mind.

After a long while, he sighed and slowly lay down on the couch.

The most urgent task now is to recover from the injury as soon as possible.

Only after recovery can one enforce justice and punish the wicked.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Chu Ze's lips.

Zhu Biao, wait for me, I will come to see you soon!
Time flies, time flies.

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Inside the palace, in an elegant courtyard.

The flowers and trees are lush and the water is gurgling.

A man in a green shirt was sitting under the green bamboo.

Close your eyes and rest your mind.

It was Chu Ze. Now he had a ruddy complexion and looked energetic.

Apparently the injury has healed.

"General, His Majesty invites you!"

A young eunuch knelt on the ground respectfully.

Chu Ze opened his eyes and stood up suddenly.

"Okay, I'll follow you into the palace."

When I arrived in front of the Jinluan Palace, I saw Zhu Di sitting on the dragon throne.

Looks dignified.

"Your humble servant Chu Ze pays respect to Your Majesty."

Chu Ze bowed down and saluted, feeling nervous.

"I love your life."

Zhu Di nodded with a smile, his eyes sharp.

"I summoned you here today because of an important matter."

Chu Ze was shocked and asked quickly:

"May I ask, Your Majesty, why is this so serious?"

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"My dear, since you returned from your injury, the people in the capital have settled down and the border troubles have been temporarily alleviated."

"However, the storm is brewing, the remnants of the Tatars and Zhu Biao's followers are still eyeing us covetously."

"This evil trend will not end until it is eradicated."

Chu Ze's eyes flashed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, please make it clear."

Zhu Di's eyes were as fast as lightning, slowly pointing outside the hall.

"I want you to lead 30,000 troops immediately and march out to conquer the northwest and wipe out the roots of the enemy!"

"We must kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

Chu Ze was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately bowed and agreed.

"I will obey your order! I will do my best to live up to your majesty's trust!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction and said:
"This expedition is of great importance."

"My dear, you must be more cautious and don't be too arrogant."

"I understand!"

Chu Ze was decisive and his eyes were firm.

"I will fight this battle without hesitation."

"Even if I die, I will eliminate the traitors and bandits for the Ming Dynasty!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Di was very pleased and waved his hand and said:
"Your loyalty and bravery are commendable, and I am very pleased."

"Immediately order the military affairs and the trivial matters of the outer court to be handed over to Du Renjie and others to handle temporarily.

You can lead the army today!"

"I will obey your orders!"

Chu Ze's heart was pounding and his blood was boiling.

He bowed again, then walked away with his head held high and in long strides.

In a blink of an eye, Chu Ze came to the training ground again.

Dressed in armor and holding a sword, he looks heroic and imposing.

Soldiers of the three armies are ready to go.

"Everyone!"

Chu Ze said loudly, his eyes as sharp as torches.

"The barbarians, the Tatars, have been plotting against our Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Now there are even more treacherous bandits, working together from within and without.”

"If we don't eradicate it quickly, there will be endless troubles!"

Upon hearing this, the officers and soldiers were filled with indignation and could not contain themselves.

"The king has ordered us to go to war immediately."

Chu Ze's voice was sonorous and powerful.

"Everyone, are you willing to follow me to fight through all the obstacles and eliminate the traitors?"

"I am willing to serve the general with all my heart and soul! I swear to follow you till death!"

Millions of soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, turned around and jumped onto the horse.

At his command, the three armies immediately marched towards the northwest in a mighty manner.

A bloody battle.

It’s inevitable!

In the northwest border, the sky is filled with sandstorms.

The coalition forces of the six Tatar right wing tribes and Zhu Biao's followers,
They are watching with eager eyes and ready to make a move.

"Haha, that Chu Ze is here again as expected."

A man in the tent laughed sinisterly, it was Tianying.

Ever since he was defeated by Chu Ze last time, he has been gnashing his teeth in hatred and vowing to take revenge.

"This time I want to see how his 30,000 troops can defeat my 100,000-strong coalition army."

Tianying sneered repeatedly with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Lord Tianying, I am willing to serve you at my utmost and will make sure that Chu Ze will never return!"

Zhu Biao's followers standing by said in a flattering tone.

"Humph, you good-for-nothings are just good at talking."

Tianying curled his lips in disdain and said viciously:

"I will personally take action this time and chop off that fellow's head!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and bowed.

Outside the tent, the sound of killing was deafening and blood was everywhere.
