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

Chu Ze was furious when he learned about this. He immediately ordered a thorough investigation and personally led a team to inspect the disaster area.

When Chu Ze arrived at the disaster area, the scene before him was heartbreaking. There were starving people everywhere, and the land was filled with grief.

Chu Ze immediately threw himself into the disaster relief work without saying anything. He disregarded his own safety and personally went to the fields to live and eat with the people.

Under Chu Ze's leadership, disaster relief work was carried out in an orderly manner. On the one hand, he mobilized national resources to increase disaster relief efforts; on the other hand, he severely punished corrupt officials to ensure that disaster relief supplies could be delivered to the people in a timely manner.

Chu Ze's actions deeply moved the people in the disaster area. They praised Chu Ze's benevolence and some even compared Chu Ze to an ancient sage king.

However, just as the relief work was in full swing, shocking news came.

It turned out that Li Ke had escaped from the prison at some point. He secretly contacted the remaining forces in the Western Regions, intending to take this opportunity to seek revenge.

Chu Ze was shocked when he learned about this. He knew that Li Ke's move would not only endanger his own position, but also bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the disaster has not yet subsided, how can Chu Ze get away to deal with it? For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

Just when Chu Ze was hesitating, Qin Yunyun suddenly appeared in the disaster area. She resolutely said to Chu Ze:
"Husband, go deal with Li Ke without worry. I'll take care of this for you and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Chu Ze looked at Qin Yunyun's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that with Qin Yunyun around, he could rest assured.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Chu Ze said solemnly, his eyes full of gratitude.

In this way, Chu Ze led his elite troops and headed straight to the Western Regions. He knew that this would be a life-and-death battle.

However, Li Ke's strength far exceeded Chu Ze's imagination. He learned a set of strange martial arts from nowhere, which greatly increased his strength.

As soon as the two fought, Chu Ze fell into a disadvantage. He was defeated again and again and almost lost his life.

At this critical moment, Chu Ze suddenly remembered a unique skill in the secret book. This move was extremely powerful, but it required all the strength in his body.

Chu Ze knew that this was his only chance.

"Everything becomes one!" Chu Ze roared, and his figure disappeared in an instant, turning into a phantom, whizzing towards Li Ke.

Li Ke felt a flash before his eyes, and before he could react, a huge force had already hit his chest. The force was as powerful as the sea and as strong as thunder, knocking him away.

boom!
Li Ke slammed heavily against the stone wall, his internal organs churning. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Chu Ze in disbelief.

"What kind of move is this?!"

Chu Ze had no time to answer. The power of this move was beyond imagination, but it almost exhausted all his energy. At this moment, he was panting, trembling all over, and couldn't even stand steadily.

Li Ke took the opportunity to jump up and rushed towards Chu Ze frantically. His eyes flashed with ferocious murderous intent, vowing to tear Chu Ze into pieces.

At this critical moment, a cold light flashed and went straight to Li Ke's throat. With a "puff", a dagger pierced into Li Ke's neck, and blood splattered.

Li Ke's eyes widened, and he looked behind him in disbelief. He saw Fairy Yanyu slowly walking out, her face as cold as frost.

"Why are you here?" Li Ke's voice trembled slightly, filled with resentment and anger.

Fairy Yanyu smiled coldly and pulled out the dagger with force. Blood spurted out, and Li Ke fell to the ground, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Chu Ze let out a long sigh and sat down on the ground dejectedly. This fierce battle almost exhausted all his strength.

Fairy Yanyu came forward and helped Chu Ze up. Her voice was gentle but firm:
"It seems that I have arrived at the right time."

Chu Ze smiled bitterly and looked at Fairy Yanyu with gratitude.

"Thanks to you. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would really have to die here."

Fairy Yanyu shook her head, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"You are just trying too hard. Even though your moves are powerful, you can't do it so recklessly."

She took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and carefully bandaged Chu Ze's wound. Chu Ze let her do whatever she wanted with a warm smile on his face.

With Fairy Yanyu by his side, he felt very at ease. This woman was not only his confidant, but also a life-and-death partner. Chu Ze knew that he could not get to where he is today without the help of Fairy Yanyu. It was she who lent a hand in the most critical moments and resolved crises time and time again.

Thinking of this, a warm current surged in Chu Ze's heart. He gently held Fairy Yanyu's hand and said sincerely:

"Thank you, fairy. I will always remember everything you have done for me over the years."

Fairy Yanyu smiled, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She didn't say anything, but just gently shook Chu Ze's hand.

At this moment, the world seemed to be silent. The two of them just sat there quietly, letting time flow.

After a long while, Chu Ze reluctantly let go of her hand. He slowly stood up and looked into the distance with a determined gaze.

"Let's go, we should go back."

Fairy Yanyu nodded and walked side by side with Chu Ze.

The two men set out on their journey home, with the smoke of the battlefield behind them and the endless unknown ahead of them.

However, with each other by our side, no matter how big the difficulties are, we are not afraid of them.

Under their protection, the Ming Dynasty will eventually usher in a new era.

A few months later, in the capital.

With the quelling of Li Ke's rebellion, peace finally returned to the Ming Dynasty. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, with laughter and joy all around.

And all this is thanks to one person - Chu Ze.

As the regent of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Ze led the Ming Dynasty out of crisis after crisis with his outstanding wisdom and courage.

He signed an alliance with the Western Regions, resolving border threats; he developed agriculture, resolving people's livelihood difficulties; he rectified the administration of officials, punished corruption, and won the love of the people.

Today, Chu Ze has become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. His every word and action touches the hearts of countless people.

On this day, Chu Ze was reviewing memorials in the imperial study when suddenly a eunuch ran in in a panic.

"Report! Your Majesty, an envoy from the Western Regions wants to see you!"

Chu Ze was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart. Since the last alliance was signed, the Western Region has been at peace. Why did they suddenly send an envoy?
Could it be that something went wrong with the covenant?
Chu Ze put down the memorial in his hand and ordered in a deep voice: "Quickly call them in."

Soon, the Western Region envoys walked into the hall, surrounded by guards. They were dressed in exotic clothes, behaved respectfully, but also showed a dignified demeanor.

Chu Ze sat upright on the dragon throne, staring at the envoy with sharp eyes.

"The envoy from the Western Regions has come from afar. What are you doing here?"

The leading envoy bowed and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my sudden arrival. We are here for an important matter."

As he spoke, he took out a secret letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

"The King of the Western Regions invites His Majesty to review it."

Chu Ze's heart moved, he took the secret letter and read it carefully. It said:
Dear His Royal Highness, the Regent Prince of Ming Dynasty:

Recently, there have been frequent reports of unusual movements on my country's northwest border. A hunter has witnessed a large number of mysterious cavalrymen wearing black armor, coming and going like the wind, but no one knows what force they are from.

I think the situation is serious and I am afraid there is something else going on. So I sent an envoy to report this to you, hoping that Your Highness can provide assistance to jointly find out the truth and eliminate the hidden dangers.

King of the Western Regions

After reading the secret letter, Chu Ze fell into deep thought. The northwest border has always been desolate and almost uninhabited. Now the sudden appearance of mysterious cavalry is indeed very suspicious.

Could it be that there is another conspiracy behind this? (End of this chapter)
