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

After a long while, she slowly nodded.

"Okay. Since you have made up your mind, I will fully support you."

Although her voice was soft, every word was full of unquestionable power.

"I will allocate all the resources of Yanyu Pavilion for you. If you need any help, just ask."

Chu Ze looked at Fairy Yanyu deeply, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew that this woman had already paid too much for this goal.

"Thank you, Fairy Yanyu."

Chu Ze said sincerely, his voice choked.

"With your support, I will never let you down."

Just then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a disciple from the Yanyu Pavilion rushed in in a panic.

"Oh no, fairy! Something happened!"

The disciple's face was pale and his voice was trembling.

"The imperial court suddenly issued an order to blockade the Misty Rain Pavilion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Ze and Fairy Yanyu's faces changed drastically.

"what?!"

Fairy Yanyu stood up suddenly, her eyes as sharp as a knife.

"What happened? Tell me in detail!"

The disciple bowed and reported, his voice still trembling.

"The court suddenly issued an order, saying that it would thoroughly investigate the crimes of Yanyu Pavilion colluding with the Jianghu and plotting rebellion against the court."

"Now, a large number of soldiers have surrounded the Misty Rain Pavilion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Chu Ze's heart sank, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Could it be that those treacherous officials discovered something?"

He muttered to himself, his mind racing.

Fairy Yanyu also looked solemn, with a frown on her face.

"No matter what, we can't act rashly now."

She took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Pass on my order, tell the disciples of Yanyu Pavilion not to easily clash with the soldiers."

"We need to clarify the situation first and then decide on the next course of action."

The disciple took the order and left, and soon a noisy voice was heard.

Obviously, the situation outside is in chaos.

Chu Ze looked at Fairy Yanyu, his eyes full of worry.

"Do you think this could be a trap?"

His voice was a little tense, and he obviously realized the seriousness of the situation.

Fairy Yanyu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It is very likely."

Her tone was calm, but there was a sharp gleam in her eyes.

"If it was really a trap set by those treacherous officials, their purpose might not just be as simple as sealing off the Misty Rain Pavilion."

Chu Ze nodded, already having a bold guess in his mind.

"Could it be directed at me?"

His voice was trembling, but his eyes were extremely firm.

"If they find out my identity and find out that I am secretly investigating them."

Fairy Yanyu suddenly raised her head, her eyes as sharp as lightning.

"No! You can't take that risk!"

Although her voice was low, every word was full of unquestionable power.

"If they are really targeting you, turning yourself in now would be like walking into a trap!"

Chu Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"But if I don't go, the disciples of Yanyu Pavilion will have to bear the consequences for me." His voice was calm, but every word was filled with heavy determination.

"I started this incident, and I can't let innocent people die for me."

After a long while, she let out a soft sigh.

"alright, I got it."

Her voice was still firm, but with a hint of helplessness.

"But you must be careful not to act rashly."

"Remember, no matter what happens, Yanyu Pavilion will always be your strong backing."

Chu Ze looked at Fairy Yanyu deeply and nodded solemnly.

"I see."

Although his voice was calm, every word was filled with unquestionable determination.

"Don't worry, I will be careful."

"No matter what happens, I will not let you down."

In this way, in the midst of noise and chaos, Chu Ze quietly left the Misty Rain Pavilion with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that this trip was dangerous, but in order to find out the truth and restore justice to the court, he had no choice.

Just as Chu Ze was thinking about countermeasures, a messenger on a galloping horse brought shocking news.

"Something bad is happening! The Xixia army is approaching, and many officials in the court have defected to the enemy!"

The messenger reported breathlessly, his voice full of fear.

Chu Ze's heart sank when he heard this. He realized that the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

"Tell me the details!"

Chu Ze asked sternly, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

The messenger trembled as he told the situation one by one. Xixia took the opportunity to send troops, intending to break through the Song Dynasty's defense line in one fell swoop. What was even more terrifying was that several important officials in the court secretly colluded with each other and cooperated from inside and outside.

Chu Ze clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. He knew that the country was in danger and he could not hesitate any longer.

"Pass on my order. Gather the best troops immediately. I will lead them to battle personally!"

Chu Ze gave an order, and the soldiers around him immediately took action. The sound of iron hooves and horns came one after another, and the whole military camp was instantly boiling.

Chu Ze stood on a high place, looking at the busy soldiers, and swore in his heart that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, he would defend this land to the death!

Three days later, Chu Ze led his army to the border. When he climbed up the city wall and looked out into the distance, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Looking around, the Xixia army was a black mass, with flags flying, spreading to the horizon. A rough estimate was that the enemy's number was at least three times that of ours!
Chu Ze frowned, feeling a little uneasy. He turned to look at the deputy general beside him and asked in a low voice.

"How many troops does our army have now? How are the food and fodder reserves?"

The deputy general reported with a serious look.

"Reporting to the general, our army has a total of 50,000 elite soldiers, and the food and grass can sustain for a month. But the enemy army has at least 150,000 people. If the battle lasts for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to sustain."

Chu Ze's heart sank when he heard this. He understood that the current situation was more critical than he had imagined.

"Pass the order, all troops on alert. Strengthen the city defenses and defend it strictly."

Chu Ze gave the order, his tone filled with unquestionable firmness.

The deputy general took the order and left. Chu Ze stood alone on the top of the city, staring at the enemy in the distance with sharp eyes.

He knew that every step that followed was crucial. If he was not careful, he could be doomed.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He decided to personally inspect the barracks to understand the soldiers' conditions.

When Chu Ze walked into the barracks, a heavy atmosphere hit him. The faces of the soldiers were full of worry and fear. Obviously, they also realized the difficulty of this battle.

Chu Ze walked over to a group of soldiers who were sorting their weapons and asked kindly.

"Brothers, how are your preparations going?"

A young soldier raised his head, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect that the commander-in-chief would come to ask in person.

"Replying to the general, we are all ready. But..."

The soldier hesitated to speak, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Chu Ze patted his shoulder and encouraged him.

"Just say whatever you want, don't worry."

The young soldier mustered up his courage and whispered.

"But... there are too many enemies. Can we really win?" (End of this chapter)
