"I'll say it again, you can only choose one between the country and the beauty." Chu Ze's voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.

Lin Feng laughed, with a hint of sadness and mockery in his laughter. "Chu Ze, do you think you won? You got the kingdom, but lost the people's hearts. You will never get true happiness."

"I don't need happiness, I just want power." There was a ruthless look in Chu Ze's eyes, and he exerted a little force on the sword in his hand, about to pierce Lin Feng's throat.

"Stop!" the woman in white shouted again, her voice full of anxiety and anger. She flew over and stood in front of Lin Feng.

Chu Ze's sword stopped in mid-air, less than an inch away from the chest of the woman in white. He looked at the woman in white, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you can't kill him." The woman in white spoke firmly and did not back down.

"Oh? Do you think you can stop me?" A sneer appeared on Chu Ze's lips.

"Of course I can." The woman in white said, pulling out a soft sword from her waist, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Chu Ze.

Chu Ze looked at the soft sword in the white-clothed woman's hand, and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. "Just you? Are you worthy enough to fight me?"

"Whether we are worthy or not, we won't know until we fight." After the woman in white said this, her figure flashed and the soft sword attacked Chu Ze like a spirit snake.

Chu Ze snorted coldly and swung his sword to fight.

The two started a fierce battle at the entrance of the village. The swordsmanship of the woman in white was light and graceful, and unpredictable, while Chu Ze's swordsmanship was fierce and overbearing, with great force and heavy power. The two fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

The villagers were stunned; they had never seen such a spectacular battle.

Suddenly, the woman in white seized an opportunity and stabbed Chu Ze's left arm with a sword.

Chu Ze groaned, his face turned pale in an instant. He covered his wound, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"You deserve to die!" Chu Ze roared and attacked the woman in white again.

The woman in white showed no fear and drew her sword to fight.

The two men fought fiercely again, with swords flashing and sabers flashing, which was dazzling.

Just then, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a team of Jinyiwei rushing towards them.

The leading Jinyiwei's face changed drastically when he saw Chu Ze was injured. He quickly dismounted, ran to Chu Ze, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, are you injured?"

"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Chu Ze waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the woman in white.

"Your Majesty, who is this man? Why did he attack you?" asked the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"I don't know who she is either." Chu Ze shook his head, "But I must catch her and cut her into pieces!"

"Yes!" The leader of the Jinyiwei responded, stood up, and shouted to the Jinyiwei behind him: "Brothers, come on! Capture this assassin!"

The Jinyiwei responded in unison, drew their weapons, and attacked the woman in white.

The woman in white was outnumbered and soon fell into the disadvantage.

Seeing this, Chu Ze sneered. He knew that the woman in white would not be able to escape this time.

However, at this moment, something changed suddenly.

The woman in white suddenly let out a sharp whistle.

Then, a group of men in black rushed out from the woods behind the village, holding sharp blades and rushing towards the Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei were caught off guard and beaten by surprise.

The men in black were very skilled in martial arts and the Jinyiwei were no match for them.

In the blink of an eye, most of the Jinyiwei were killed or injured.

The woman in white took advantage of the chaos, grabbed Lin Feng, flew up, and disappeared into the night.

Chu Ze looked at the direction where the woman in white disappeared, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Damn it!" Chu Ze roared and punched the ground.

He never thought that he would be defeated by a woman.

What he didn't expect was that this woman actually rescued Lin Feng.

How could he endure this?
"Pass the order down, hunt down Lin Feng and the woman in white with all your strength! If they are dead or alive, we must find their bodies!" Chu Ze said gritting his teeth.

"Yes, sir!" the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard responded quickly.

Chu Ze looked at the night sky, a sinister light flashing in his eyes.

Lin Feng, do you think you can escape?

I will definitely catch you and tear you into pieces!

And that woman in white, I will make you pay the price too!
Chu Ze covered his still bleeding wound and limped towards his own imperial sedan, thinking about how to plan a plan to catch Lin Feng and the mysterious woman in white in one fell swoop...

The imperial chariot slowly drove back to the palace. Chu Ze leaned on the cushion, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out. The wound on his left arm was still aching, but what hurt more was his proud self-esteem. He, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, invincible in the world, was actually injured by a woman, and she rescued him from under her nose! He couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

"Someone come here!" Chu Ze growled, his voice hoarse.

A eunuch knelt before him tremblingly: "Your servant is here."

"Send the message to Jinyiwei Commander Shen Lian!"

"Whoo!"

Soon, Shen Lian walked quickly into the imperial carriage and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

Chu Ze stared at him coldly, and said word by word: "Investigate for me! Investigate that woman in white, investigate everything about her! And Lin Feng, I will dig him out for me even if I have to dig three feet deep into the ground!"

"Your humble servant obeys your order!" Cold sweat broke out on Shen Lian's forehead. He had followed Chu Ze for many years and had never seen the emperor so angry.

The imperial chariot returned to the palace, and Chu Ze went straight to the imperial study. He took off his bloodstained dragon robe, revealing his strong torso, and the wound on his left arm was hideous. A palace maid carefully applied medicine to him, but Chu Ze seemed to be unconscious, staring at a map hanging on the wall.

On the map, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was vast, but Chu Ze's eyes fell on a small area in the northwest border, which was marked as "Western Regions". The direction Lin Feng fled to was the Western Regions.

"Western Regions..." Chu Ze muttered to himself, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes, "I want to see where you can escape to!"

In the next few days, Chu Ze handed over all government affairs to the cabinet, and locked himself in the imperial study to study the terrain, power distribution and various intelligence in the Western Regions. He was like a wounded beast, licking his wounds, accumulating strength, and waiting for the next attack.

Shen Lian came to report the progress of the investigation every day, but the results were always unsatisfactory. The identity of the woman in white was still a mystery. All we knew was that she was a martial arts expert with unknown origins. And Lin Feng, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, left no trace.

"Waste! All of you are a bunch of waste!" Chu Ze roared and threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.

Shen Lian knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. He knew that the emperor was on the verge of a rage, and any word he said could lead to his own death. (End of this chapter)
