Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

It turns out that Chu Ze has such a connection, no wonder the Shen family values ​​him so much.

Chu Ze was also moved. When he was fighting on the battlefield, how could he remember who he had saved? But he didn't expect that it was General Shen who almost lost his life.

It seems that if I turn my daughter away from home to celebrate your birthday, it would be very unkind of me to refuse her.

Thinking of this, Chu Ze's heart softened, but he was still a little hesitant. He looked at the prince with a questioning look.

The prince understood and laughed.

"Chu Qing, you and I are brothers, there is no need to be so formal. Sister Qingwu has come to celebrate your birthday, how can we refuse her kindness?"

"What's more, General Shen is a famous general in the court. If you and I neglect his daughter, it will be spread out and we will be criticized."

"How about this, let Sister Qingwu come with us, and when we get to the capital, we can celebrate for Chu Qing properly, how about that?"

Chu Ze heard this and knew that the prince had figured out his thoughts. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness is wise, and I will follow your instructions."

He turned to Shen Qingwu and bowed slightly, saying respectfully: "Thank you for your kindness, young lady. Although I am not talented, I will treat you with all my heart and will never neglect you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingwu covered her mouth and chuckled.

"General, you are too polite. It is my daughter's great honor to be here to celebrate your birthday. Moreover, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as our matchmaker, I will be able to take care of you on the way."

Having said that, his eyes were full of lingering sorrow, and it was clear that there was something else behind his words.

Chu Ze didn't dare to think too much and could only smile.

Zhao Hu, who was standing by, had already been frightened out of his wits, but when he saw the two men talking and laughing, he knew that he had saved his life, and he knelt down and kowtowed immediately.

"Thank you, General and His Royal Highness, for your forgiveness. I am grateful to you all! I will order people to clean up and make way for you two adults!"

As he spoke, he bowed repeatedly, called his subordinates, and hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road.

The prince ignored him, and just took Shen Qingwu's hand, smiling and said: "Sister Qingwu, let's set off now, don't delay the good omen of celebrating the birthday."

Shen Qingwu smiled, let him hold her arm, and slowly walked towards the carriage.

Chu Ze had no choice but to order the soldiers to protect Shen Qingwu's carriage in the middle, and then urged the horses forward.

The group continued their march towards the capital city in a mighty procession under the afterglow of the setting sun.

However, no one noticed that on a hill not far away, a man in black was crawling on the ground, staring at the cavalry.

There was a gleam in his eyes and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Chu Ze, Prince, if God wants you to die, no one can save you!"

The man in black snorted coldly, turned over and walked down the cliff. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

Night falls.

After galloping for a day, the horse team finally found a secluded canyon and set up camp.

The soldiers were busy setting up tents, cooking, and standing guard. For a moment, the barracks were brightly lit and bustling.

Chu Ze was still sitting in the tent, looking at a letter on the table, lost in thought.

This letter was given to me by the Imperial Master before I left. The contents were vague, only telling me to be careful and think twice before doing anything.

Especially the people around you, you should be more careful and vigilant.

At that time, Chu Ze was confused and didn't know what was going on.

However, after today's ambush and the sudden appearance of Shen Qingwu and others, he vaguely felt that everything seemed to be within the expectations of the National Master.

"The laws of nature are unpredictable, and human hearts are hard to predict. The words of the Grand Master have indeed come true."

Chu Ze muttered to himself, picked up the teacup, took a sip, but found it extremely bitter.

At this moment, the tent curtain was lifted and a man walked in quickly.

It was the prince. Chu Ze quickly stood up and saluted, but the prince didn't care. He lowered the curtain and got straight to the point.

"Chu Qing, do you find Miss Shen's appearance today strange?"

The prince came straight to the point and hit the nail on the head.

Chu Ze was stunned when he heard this.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was outspoken and actually noticed something fishy.

But why did he suddenly bring up this matter and what was his intention?

Chu Ze pondered for a moment and replied cautiously: "Your Highness is right. Miss Shen's sudden appearance is indeed suspicious."

He paused, and looked at the prince with burning eyes, "But, I don't understand why Your Highness suddenly brought up this matter? Is there some hidden reason?"

When the prince heard this, he laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, Chu Qing is indeed a smart man! Why would I bring up this matter for no reason?"

He stopped smiling and said seriously, "Mr. Chu, do you still remember that last September, General Shen wrote to the court and requested to guard the northwest?"

Chu Ze nodded. As a general, how could Shen Chengye be demoted to the frontier if someone in the court had not deliberately targeted him?
The prince continued, "At that time, the civil and military officials in the court had some complaints about this. Especially..."

He suddenly stopped talking halfway and looked at Chu Ze meaningfully.

Chu Ze understood it clearly. Especially the current emperor was very dissatisfied with this matter.

Although Shen Chengye had made great military achievements, he also offended many powerful people. For example, the current crown prince had a grudge against him.

Thinking of this, Chu Ze already had an idea in his mind.

He was about to speak, but the prince took the lead and said in a low voice: "Mr. Chu, this is a time of trouble."

"Party struggles are surging in the capital, and the government is in turmoil."

"Although General Shen was exiled, his daughter suddenly showed up. This is too strange. You and I are in high positions, how can we not be on guard?"

These words were profound and full of meaning. Chu Ze could not help but stand in awe when he heard them.

Although the prince seems to be prosperous and dissolute, he is actually shrewd and experienced, with a broad mind. He is so insightful and prepared for the rainy day, and he is really not an ordinary person.

Chu Ze quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness is wise and wise, and I admire you very much. However, I hope Your Highness will give me clear instructions on how to deal with this situation now."

The prince pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I'm afraid there is another hidden reason for Shen Qingwu's appearance. You and I must be vigilant and don't be careless."

He narrowed his eyes and said in a grim tone, "Especially Miss Shen, you must keep a close eye on her. Don't let her take advantage of you."

Chu Ze obeyed the order, sweat on his forehead. This Miss Shen seemed weak and helpless, but in fact she was very cunning.

If the prince hadn't reminded me, I would have fallen into her trap.

Thinking of this, he bowed again and said: "I will follow your instructions. I will be cautious and live up to your trust."

The prince nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "It's getting late, you should take a rest. We still have to travel tomorrow, so don't tire yourself out."

After saying that, he strode out of the tent, leaving Chu Ze alone, thinking under the dim light.

After a long time, Chu Ze sighed and blew out the candle.

The night was dark and silent, with only the twinkling bonfire reflecting a lonely figure.

The next day, at daybreak, Chu Ze woke up from his sleep.

The prince's words last night were still ringing in his ears. He calmed himself down, put on his armor and took his sword, and walked out of the tent quickly.

Outside, the scene was already very busy. Soldiers were dismantling their tents and preparing to set off.

Chu Ze looked around, his eyes lingered on Shen Qingwu's carriage for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.

"General." A respectful voice sounded behind him. (End of this chapter)
