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

Chu Ze stared at the secret letter in his hand, his heart feeling heavy as if a huge rock was pressing down on it.

I finally signed the treaty and resolved the border troubles. Now there are unusual movements on the northwest border again. What is the hidden reason behind this?

He had a vague feeling that an ominous premonition was about to hit him!

Chu Ze suddenly raised his head, staring at the envoy from the Western Regions with sharp eyes.

He asked in a deep voice, "Does the messenger have more detailed information about this mysterious cavalry?"

The Western Regions envoy bowed and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, as far as we know, this group of cavalrymen came and went like the wind and were very skilled. They were wearing black armor and riding tall and fierce horses. They looked well-trained."

"My king suspects that they may have other motives and are definitely not ordinary bandits. That's why I urgently sent us here to ask for your help."

Listening to the messenger's report, Chu Ze frowned and fell into deep thought.

The Northwest Border has always been desolate and sparsely populated. If it were an ordinary bandit, how could they appear there?
What's more, judging from the strength shown by the other party, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Is there really some ulterior conspiracy behind this?

Chu Ze stood up suddenly, his dragon robe fluttering. He strode down from the dragon throne, his eyes like lightning, scanning the ministers in the hall.

"This matter is of great importance! I cannot sit idly by and watch the border become turbulent and the people suffer!"

"Send an order, order Lu Bing to immediately mobilize 50,000 elite soldiers, travel day and night, and go to the northwest border to investigate the situation!"

"At the same time, order the Western Region envoy to accompany the army and help our army to wipe out that group of mysterious cavalry!"

"According to the order!"

His Highness and all the ministers responded in unison, each with a solemn look on their face.

They knew that the emperor had made up his mind to personally eliminate the evil for the country.

Chu Ze turned to look at the Western Regions envoy and said in a deep voice: "Please ask the envoy to tell the King of the Western Regions that the Ming Dynasty will definitely help us with all its strength until the border troubles are eliminated and our people can have peace!"

The Western Regions envoy bowed again, and said excitedly: "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty! My king will be grateful and swear an oath with the Ming Dynasty. I would be disrespectful to refuse!"

Chu Ze nodded and watched the messenger leave.

He slowly walked back to the dragon throne and sat upright again.

But my heart was surging with thoughts.

The sudden appearance of a mysterious force on the Northwest Frontier is no accident.

I'm afraid there is a bigger conspiracy behind this.

But no matter who it is, if they dare to act wildly on the land of our Ming Dynasty, they must be prepared to pay the price!
Chu Ze clenched his fists, his eyes determined.

No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I will lead my troops to fight in person.

However, at this moment, a palace maid ran in in a panic.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The Queen has fainted!"

Chu Ze's face changed drastically, and his heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer.

He didn't care about anything else, picked up the dragon robe, and rushed to the bedroom.

He was just worrying about state affairs, but now his mind and eyes are filled with Qin Yunyun.

They had not seen each other for a long time. He was busy with state affairs all day and neglected his beloved wife.

Could it be that Qin Yunyun was sick from missing him? Or was she feeling unwell somewhere?
Countless thoughts swirled in Chu Ze's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

When he rushed to the bedroom, he saw that Qin Yunyun had already woken up and was resting on the couch.

When she saw Chu Ze, joy flashed in her eyes, but it immediately turned into guilt.

"Aze, it's me who caused you trouble and made you distract from me."

Chu Ze grabbed Qin Yunyun's hand and said emotionally: "Silly girl, how could you implicate me? I am the one who neglected you too much."

"It's all my fault. I was busy with state affairs all day and forgot that I had such a beautiful and virtuous wife waiting for me at home."

Qin Yunyun burst into laughter and looked at Chu Ze tenderly.

"My dear husband, you are the ruler of a country, so you should naturally put state affairs first. I understand that."

"It's just." She lowered her eyes, with a hint of loss in her voice.

"Just what?" Chu Ze gently lifted Qin Yunyun's chin and looked into her eyes.

"It's just that I really miss my husband too much."

As Qin Yunyun spoke, she actually started to cry.

Chu Ze felt so distressed that he hugged his wife in his arms.

"Oh, Yunyun, it's my fault. I ignored your feelings too much." "From now on, I will definitely make more time to accompany you. No matter how busy I am, we can't be together less and apart more like this anymore."

After hearing this, Qin Yunyun burst into laughter. She snuggled tightly in her husband's arms, craving his scent.

The two of them hugged each other quietly, as if time had stopped.

After a long time, Qin Yunyun reluctantly pushed Chu Ze away.

"My dear husband, I am fine now. But you, my dear husband, please don't let me delay your work."

"The sudden appearance of foreign tribes on the northwest border is a matter of national destiny. My husband should make a decision as soon as possible."

Chu Ze sighed and stroked Qin Yunyun's cheek.

"You are right. This matter is indeed urgent."

"It seems that your husband will be away from you for a while again."

There was a hint of reluctance in Chu Ze's tone.

He really couldn't bear to abandon his wife and go to the battlefield alone.

However, the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the happiness of the people depend on this battle.

As an emperor, how can I sacrifice public interests for personal ones?
Thinking of this, Chu Ze's mind suddenly became clear.

He solemnly held Qin Yunyun's hand and looked into his wife's eyes affectionately.

"Yunyun, don't worry. Your husband will definitely wipe out the border troubles as soon as possible and return victoriously!"

"Then we will never be apart, and you will never be alone again!"

Qin Yunyun burst into tears when she heard this.

She held her husband's hand tightly and choked up, "My dear husband, I will stay in the harem and be your worthy partner. I only hope that you will win the victory soon and return safely!"

Chu Ze nodded heavily and gave his wife a comforting hug.

Then, he reluctantly let go of her hand and strode away.

The back view was firm and resolute, without any hesitation.

The Royal Guards' drill ground is ready for battle.

Trumpets blew and drums roared.

One hundred thousand elite soldiers are ready to go.

The leader was wearing golden armor and looked very heroic.

It was Chu Ze who led the expedition in person!
He took the lead and stood in front of the army, looking around at the soldiers with a sharp gaze.

"Soldiers! The Western Regions are invading and plotting to destroy the Ming Dynasty! This hatred is irreconcilable and will never be forgotten!"

"Are you willing to join me in this national crisis, expel the Tartars, and return our land to me?!"

"I am willing to die for my emperor! I will have no regrets even if I die!"

Thousands of soldiers and horses roared in unison. The sound was so loud that it was like a tsunami, shaking the earth!
"it is good!"

Chu Ze's eyes were gleaming with light, like two balls of fire.

"Kill the enemy and serve the country, this is the first move! Don't let the people down, don't let me down!"

"kill--!"

His command was like a thunderclap.

In an instant, all the horses fell silent!
The cavalry is like a dragon, charging through the formation!
The war drums are thundering and the flags are waving!
An army of one hundred thousand strong is marching towards the Western Regions in a mighty force!
At this moment, a raging fighting spirit was burning in everyone's heart.

This is a baptism of blood and fire, a test of life and death!

For the country, for the people, and for the beliefs in our hearts.

They are determined to fight to the death!
A month later, the army finally arrived at the border of the Western Region.

The scene before them stunned everyone.

There were corpses scattered all over the wasteland and broken walls.

There were traces of burning, killing and looting everywhere, and the place was in a mess.

What is even more shocking is that many of the corpses have strange scars on them.

Some were chopped into several pieces, and some were charred black as if they had been burned by fire.

There were also many corpses with terrified expressions on their faces, obviously they had experienced great pain before death. (End of this chapter)
