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

"Chu Ze, is it really you? Am I dreaming?" Xiao Tao asked with a sob.

"Silly girl, of course it's true. How could I bear to leave you?" Chu Ze gently stroked Xiao Tao's hair and comforted her softly.

"But...but you clearly..." Xiao Tao raised her head and looked at Chu Ze, her eyes full of confusion.

"I'm fine, just slightly injured. I'll be fine after a few days of rest." Chu Ze explained with a smile.

Xiao Tao then noticed that Chu Ze's face was a little pale and there were some scars on his body.

"Are you injured? Is it serious?" Xiao Tao asked anxiously.

"It's okay, they're just superficial injuries, nothing serious." Chu Ze said with a smile, "But you, you must not have eaten well these days, right? You look so thin."

"I...I'm worried about you..." Xiaotao said chokingly.

"Silly girl, I'm fine, aren't I?" Chu Ze gently wiped the tears from Xiao Tao's face and said with a smile, "Don't do stupid things again in the future, okay?"

Xiaotao nodded and hugged Chuze tightly, not wanting to let go.

The joy of regaining what she had lost made her forget all the sorrow and pain.

"By the way, that man in black..." Xiao Tao suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly.

"I have already sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon." Chu Ze said.

"Yeah." Xiao Tao nodded, feeling a little relieved.

……

Chu Ze's "resurrection" plunged the entire Ming Dynasty into carnival.

The people rushed to tell each other and celebrated the safe return of their emperor.

Chu Ze took control of the government again, worked hard to govern the country, and led the Ming Dynasty to a more glorious future.

Xiao Tao became Chu Ze's favorite concubine, and their love was as loving as ever, making others envious.

However, in the dark, there was a pair of eyes watching all this silently.

Those eyes were filled with hatred and resentment, as if they wanted to tear Chu Ze and Xiao Tao into pieces.

……

A month later, Chu Ze received a mysterious letter.

The letter contained only one sentence:

"My queen, I'm going to choose her."

After reading the letter, Chu Ze's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

He knew that the letter was directed at Xiaotao.

And he also knew that the person who wrote this letter must be the man in black.

"Someone come here!" Chu Ze roared, his eyes full of murderous intent.

……

Who is the man in black?
Why did he target Xiao Tao? How should Chu Ze protect the woman he loved?
All the mysteries will be slowly revealed in the following stories...

In the imperial study, Chu Ze's fingers tightly grasped the letter, his knuckles turned white, and the letter made a crackling sound in his hands, almost being crushed into powder by him. His face was terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm, so depressing that it made people breathless.

"My queen, I'm going to take her." Just a few words, but like a sharp knife, piercing Chu Ze's heart fiercely. He laughed in anger. This man in black was so arrogant! Did he really think that Chu Ze was made of mud? How dare he covet his little peach!
"Someone come here!" Chu Ze suddenly threw the letter in his hand to the ground, his voice as cold as ice.

A guard immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

"Pass on my order, seal off the entire city, and search every corner! I will hunt down this audacious rat and tear him into pieces!" Chu Ze's voice was filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to freeze the entire imperial study.

The guards took the order and left. Only Chu Ze was left in the imperial study. He paced back and forth, his anger could not be calmed for a long time. He walked to the window, looking at the prosperous capital outside the window, with a fierce look in his eyes. Xiao Tao was his treasure, and whoever dared to touch her would pay the price!
"Xiao Tao..." Chu Ze whispered softly, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and then was replaced by coldness. He would never let anyone hurt Xiao Tao, even if he had to pay any price!
In the following days, the whole capital was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The imperial guards searched everywhere and questioned every household, causing panic among the people. However, the man in black seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.

Chu Ze's patience was gradually worn out. He sat in the imperial study every day, reading the intelligence sent from all over the country, but he could not find any useful clues. He became more and more irritable and even began to vent his anger on the palace servants around him.

Xiao Tao saw it all and felt pain in her heart. She knew Chu Ze was so anxious because of her, but she could do nothing but stay by his side silently and try her best to comfort him.

"Chu Ze, don't worry too much. I believe you can find the man in black." Xiao Tao gently hugged Chu Ze and comforted him softly.

Chu Ze held Xiao Tao tightly in his arms, feeling the warmth from her body, and his irritability subsided a little. "Xiao Tao, I will definitely protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."

Xiaotao nodded and buried her head in Chu Ze's chest, feeling his strong heartbeat and feeling a sense of security in her heart.

However, the peaceful days did not last long. Just when Chu Ze thought the man in black had given up, he received a second letter.

The letter contained only one sentence:

"In three days, I will wait for you in the maple forest on the outskirts of the city. See you there."

Chu Ze's face turned pale instantly after reading the letter. This man in black was so arrogant! He was provoking him and challenging his authority!
"Okay, I want to see who you are!" Chu Ze said gritting his teeth, his eyes full of anger.

Three days later, Chu Ze brought a team of elite guards to the maple forest on the outskirts of the city. The maple forest was quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. Chu Ze looked around, but there was no sign of the man in black.

"Come out! I know you are here!" Chu Ze shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the maple forest.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black came out from the depths of the woods. He was dressed in black and had a black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Are you the one who wrote to me?" Chu Ze asked coldly.

The man in black didn't say anything, but slowly took off the mask on his face.

When Chu Ze saw the face of the man in black, he was stunned.

It was an extremely familiar face, a face he never dreamed would appear here.

"It's you?!" Chu Ze shouted in disbelief.

The man in black sneered, "Why, are you surprised?"

"Why are you doing this?" Chu Ze asked, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Why? Of course it's for revenge!" the man in black said gritting his teeth, his eyes filled with flames of hatred.

"Revenge? What grudge do I have against you?" Chu Ze was even more confused.

The man in black laughed loudly, his laughter filled with sadness and despair. "Chu Ze, you are such a forgetful person! Have you forgotten that ten years ago, you wiped out my entire family?!"

Some fragments suddenly flashed through Chu Ze's mind, some memories that he had long forgotten... (End of this chapter)
