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

"Xiao Tao, I promised you that I would protect you, but I broke my promise..." Chu Ze's tone was full of self-blame and regret.

He hugged Xiaotao's body tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his own bones and blood.

"I will avenge you. I will make those who hurt you pay a thousand times the price!" There was a raging fire burning in Chu Ze's eyes. It was the flame of revenge and also the flame of despair.

In the next few days, Chu Ze locked himself in his bedroom, not eating, drinking, or sleeping. He recalled the time he spent with Xiao Tao over and over again, and touched Xiao Tao's belongings over and over again, as if this would make her come back to him.

He became taciturn and moody. He was no longer the vigorous and ambitious emperor, but a poor man who had lost his beloved.

The ministers in the court were all trembling with fear and dared not approach him easily. They knew that the emperor's heart was dead and he was now just a walking corpse.

Finally, after Xiaotao's funeral, Chu Ze reappeared in the court.

He changed from his usual gentleness to a cold and ruthless one. His eyes were as cold as a knife, as if they could see through people's hearts.

He ordered a thorough investigation into the assassin's background, and to uncover the mastermind at all costs.

He also announced that the date of his personal expedition would be brought forward, and he would use blood and killing to pay tribute to Xiaotao's spirit in heaven.

The ministers were all frightened by Chu Ze's transformation. They had never seen such a cruel emperor. They knew that the Ming Dynasty would usher in a bloody storm.

Chu Ze stood on a high tower, looking down at the ground below, his eyes full of ambition and killing, as well as endless sadness and loneliness.

"Xiao Tao, wait for me, I will come to accompany you soon..." Chu Ze murmured in a low voice, with a hint of madness in his voice.

He drew the sword from his waist, pointed it into the distance, and shouted loudly: "All troops, attack!"

The army marched forward in a mighty force, heading towards an unknown future. Chu Ze rode a warhorse, walking at the front of the team, his figure looking particularly tall and lonely.

He didn't know what was waiting for him. He only knew that he wanted to avenge Xiao Tao, he wanted to conquer the whole world, and he wanted to make everyone who hurt him pay a heavy price!

Just as the army was marching to a barren Gobi Desert, suddenly, a dazzling light appeared in the sky...

The light faded, and a man dressed in white, who looked like a banished immortal, appeared out of thin air. He held a crystal clear sword in his hand, and a faint chill emanated from the sword.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze asked vigilantly, tightening his sword.

The man smiled and said, "I am a visitor from outer space, my name is Bai Ze. Are you the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Chu Ze said proudly: "It is me! What are you doing here?"

Bai Ze chuckled and said, "I've heard that all emperors in the world are men of great talent and strategy. Seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved. However, you have too much murderous aura and too much hostility, which may be detrimental to the country."

Chu Ze snorted coldly and said, "You don't need to interfere in my affairs! If you have nothing to do, leave immediately!"

Bai Ze was not angry, and still said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I am here to lend a hand to Your Majesty."

Chu Ze was confused and asked, "You help me? How do you help me?"

Bai Ze said: "I know what your majesty is thinking. You want to avenge your beloved concubine and conquer the world. I can help you realize these wishes."

Chu Ze's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Who are you? What's your purpose?"

Bai Ze smiled mysteriously and said, "The secret cannot be revealed. Your Majesty only needs to know that I sincerely want to help Your Majesty."

Chu Ze pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will trust you for once. Tell me, how can you help me?"

Bai Ze said, "Your Majesty, just hand over the sword to me, and I will help you improve your skills and achieve hegemony." Chu Ze hesitated for a moment, and finally handed the sword to Bai Ze. Bai Ze took the sword, muttered something, and the sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire Gobi Desert.

When the light faded, Bai Ze returned the sword to Chu Ze and said, "Your Majesty, this sword has been infused with a bit of my divine power, which can help Your Majesty slay demons and monsters and be invincible."

Chu Ze took the sword and felt a strong force surge into his body, which made him feel refreshed. He swung the sword a few times and felt that the power was several times stronger than before.

"Thank you for your help, immortal!" Chu Ze said excitedly.

Bai Ze smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite. I just did my duty. Your Majesty, goodbye!"

After saying that, Bai Ze disappeared in a flash.

Chu Ze looked at the sword in his hand, his eyes full of ambition and desire. He shouted loudly: "All troops, listen to my orders, keep moving forward!"

The army's morale is high and it continues to march towards an unknown future.

Chu Ze didn't know Bai Ze's true identity and purpose, but he knew that he was one step closer to his goal. He believed that with this magic sword, he would be able to conquer the world and avenge Xiao Tao!
The army continued to advance and soon came to a dense forest filled with miasma and dangers lurking on every side.

Chu Ze ordered the army to rest on the spot, while he took a few guards into the forest to explore the way.

As they walked, they suddenly heard a shrill cry.

"What's that sound?" Chu Ze asked.

A guard said, "It sounds like a woman crying."

Chu Ze's heart moved, and he said, "Go and take a look."

They followed the sound of crying and came to a huge old tree, where they saw a ragged woman holding a baby, sitting on the ground and crying.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Chu Ze asked.

The woman raised her head, revealing a tearful face. She choked and said, "My child... my child starved to death..."

Chu Ze's heart softened, and he said, "My condolences. I can help you bury your child."

The woman shook her head and said, "No need... I... I don't have the strength anymore..."

After saying this, the woman fainted.

Chu Ze saw this and rushed forward to check. He found that the woman was breathing weakly and her life was hanging by a thread.

"Hurry, take her back to the camp!" Chu Ze ordered.

The guards quickly carried the woman back to the camp. Chu Ze ordered the military doctor to treat the woman while he waited anxiously on the side.

After a while, the military doctor came out and said to Chu Ze: "Your Majesty, this girl fainted from hunger, it's nothing serious. Just take good care of herself and she will recover."

Chu Ze heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He looked at the unconscious woman and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that this woman had some special connection with him.

He didn't know where this feeling came from, but he knew that he couldn't leave this woman alone.

He decided to keep this woman by his side and take good care of her.

Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate... (End of this chapter)
