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

He knew that Xiao Tao and Lin Feng grew up together and had a deep relationship. Now, Xiao Tao actually came to beg him for Lin Feng.

He took a deep breath and put the sword back, "Xiao Tao, get out of the way! I must kill this traitor today!"

Xiao Tao cried and shook her head, "Your Majesty, please don't kill him! He was forced to do this!"

Chu Ze looked at Xiao Tao, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, looked at Xiao Tao, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Tao, I can let him go, but I have one condition."

Xiao Tao asked quickly: "What are the conditions?"

Chu Ze looked at Lin Feng and said coldly: "I want him to hand over the mastermind behind this!"

Lin Feng's face changed drastically when he heard this.

He didn't expect that Chu Ze would actually put forward such a condition.

He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I promise you!"

Chu Ze sneered, "Very good! I am waiting for your news."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Xiao Tao and Lin Feng in the imperial garden.

Xiao Tao looked at Chu Ze's departing back, her heart filled with worry and uneasiness.

She knew that Chu Ze was really angry this time.

She walked over to Lin Feng, helped him up, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Lin Feng shook his head, his eyes filled with pain and regret, "Xiao Tao, I'm sorry for you and my father."

Xiao Tao sighed and gently stroked Lin Feng's wound, "You were also forced into this, I know."

Lin Feng looked at Xiao Tao, his eyes full of gratitude and love, "Xiao Tao, thank you."

Xiao Tao shook her head. "You don't have to thank me. I just don't want to see you make the same mistake again."

Lin Feng held Xiao Tao's hand tightly, his heart filled with emotion and warmth.

"Xiao Tao, I will definitely find out who is behind this and seek justice for your father and myself!"

Xiaotao nodded, her eyes full of hope and expectation.

The two hugged each other, looking particularly warm and romantic in the afterglow of the setting sun.

However, they didn't know that a bigger conspiracy was quietly brewing...

Chu Ze dodged Lin Feng's dagger and pointed his sword straight at Lin Feng's throat. Lin Feng quickly stepped back and barely avoided the fatal blow.

"Lin Feng, calm down! I am also very sad about your father's death, but things are not as you think!" Chu Ze tried to persuade Lin Feng, but at this moment Lin Feng had already been blinded by hatred and could not listen to any explanation.

"Shut up! You hypocrite! You killed my father and you are still pretending to be a good person here! I must kill you today to avenge my father!" Lin Feng roared and rushed up again.

Chu Ze sighed helplessly. He knew that today's battle was inevitable.

The two fought back and forth in the imperial garden, with swords flashing and sabers flying, full of murderous intent. Although Chu Ze was seriously injured, his martial arts skills were far superior to Lin Feng's, and for a moment, Lin Feng could not get close to him.

"Lin Feng, are you really going to be stubborn? There is another hidden story behind your father's death!" Chu Ze tried to persuade him again while resisting Lin Feng's attack.

"Hidden secret? What hidden secret is there? You are the murderer! I saw you kill my father with my own eyes!" Lin Feng roared, and the dagger in his hand stabbed at Chu Ze even more frantically.

Chu Ze frowned, he realized that what Lin Feng said about "seeing it with his own eyes" might be something else.

"Lin Feng, tell me, what did you see?" Chu Ze asked while dodging Lin Feng's attack.

Lin Feng was distracted by Chu Ze's question, and his attack slowed down a bit. He panted, his eyes full of hatred, "I saw... I saw you... You pierced my father's chest with a sword!"

Chu Ze's heart moved, and he recalled the scene of that day. General Lin did die from a sword wound, but it was not his doing. The situation was very chaotic at the time, and there were many assassins. He could not tell who killed General Lin.

"Lin Feng, what you saw is not the truth! There were many assassins that day, and I was fighting hard. Your father's death was not caused by me!" Chu Ze tried to explain. "Nonsense! You are the murderer! I will kill you!" Lin Feng didn't listen to Chu Ze's explanation at all, and attacked frantically again.

Chu Ze had no choice but to continue to resist. He knew that if he continued like this, he would sooner or later collapse due to excessive blood loss. He had to end this battle as soon as possible!

He seized an opportunity and used his sword to swipe Lin Feng's dagger, then quickly stepped forward and hit Lin Feng in the chest. Lin Feng groaned, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground.

Chu Ze did not pursue the victory, but stood where he was, looking at Lin Feng coldly, "Lin Feng, I will give you one last chance. Tell me the truth, and I will forgive you for what happened."

Lin Feng struggled to get up, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still filled with hatred, "The truth? What truth is there? You are the murderer! Even if I die today, I will kill you!"

After saying that, Lin Feng rushed up again.

Chu Ze shook his head. He knew that Lin Feng had been completely consumed by hatred, and any explanation would be in vain. He took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Just when Lin Feng's dagger was about to stab him, he suddenly dodged to the side, avoiding the dagger, and then slashed Lin Feng's neck with his palm. Lin Feng groaned and fainted.

Chu Ze looked at Lin Feng lying on the ground, his heart filled with helplessness and sadness. He knew that Lin Feng's hatred could not be resolved in a short time.

He bent down, helped Lin Feng up, and then pressed his acupoints to prevent him from stabbing again after waking up.

"Someone come here!" Chu Ze shouted outside the imperial garden.

Soon, several guards came over.

"Take Lin Feng away and keep him under good care!" Chu Ze ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The guards carried Lin Feng away.

Chu Ze covered his chest, staggered to the peach tree, and slowly sat down against the trunk. He looked down at the wound on his chest, the blood had soaked through his clothes, and the severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He closed his eyes and Xiaotao's figure appeared in his mind.

"Xiao Tao, I promised you that I would protect you and our country... I will definitely do it!"

He murmured softly, his eyes full of determination.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.

When Chu Ze was unconscious, a woman in purple palace dress quietly appeared in the imperial garden. She walked to Chu Ze, squatted down, and looked at the unconscious Chu Ze with complicated emotions in her eyes.

"Your Majesty..." she called softly, reaching out her hand and gently stroking Chu Ze's cheek.

There was a hint of coldness on her fingertips.

This woman is the Queen Mother.

She looked at the wound on Chu Ze's chest, and a hint of subtle viciousness flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I will not let you die easily..."

She whispered, a hint of sinister amusement in her voice.

Chu Ze's eyes went dark, and the last thing he felt before he passed out was a cold touch, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, gently licking his cheek. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on a dragon bed, with a thick bandage wrapped around his chest, but the pain was much relieved.

He struggled to sit up and looked around. The bedroom was quiet, with only a faint smell of medicine in the air. He lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed, but found that he was weak all over and his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

"Your Majesty, you're awake!" A familiar voice sounded. Chu Ze turned around and saw that it was Xiao Tao's personal maid, named Xiao Lian.

When Xiaolian saw Chu Ze wake up, she hurried forward to support him, "Your Majesty, your injuries have not healed yet, you should not get out of bed."

"Where is Xiaotao?" Chu Ze asked, his voice hoarse and weak.

Xiaolian's expression changed slightly, and she stammered, "Madam...Madam..."

Chu Ze's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind, "What happened to Xiao Tao? Tell me quickly!" (End of this chapter)
