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

When Chu Ze heard the words "earth-shattering secret", he couldn't help but become interested: "Oh? You can tell me if you want."

The old man took a deep breath and lowered his voice and said, "In fact, there is another 'time traveler' in the Tatar army."

"What?!" Chu Ze gasped in shock, "What did you say? There's another time traveler?"

"That's right." The old man nodded, "Moreover, his origins are probably more complicated than you think."

For a moment, there was silence all around, with only the sound of wind blowing and grass rustling.

Chu Ze felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.

"How is this possible?" he muttered to himself, frowning.

"I should be the only time traveler. How come another one showed up?"

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Your Excellency doesn't know. In this world, there are more than just you and me who have traveled through time."

“Since ancient times, time travel has been common.

It’s just that most of them hide their identities and are unknown to the world.”

A strong sense of uneasiness and fear arose in Chu Ze's heart.

He realized that an unprecedented storm was heading towards him.

"Did this Tatar time traveler do anything unusual? What exactly is his intention?"

Chu Ze stared at the old man, trying to find clues from his expression.

The old man sighed and said quietly, "This person is unfathomable and his origins are mysterious."

"I discovered his identity by accident."

"From what I know, this man is quite powerful in the Tatar army. The Chanyu also respects him like a god."

"More importantly," the old man paused, his face solemn.

"This man seems to have mastered some incredible technology. Firearms, siege equipment, everything."

"I am worried that if he helps the Tatars to dominate, the Ming Dynasty will be in turmoil."

At this point, the old man's voice trembled a little, and he seemed unable to bear to continue.

Chu Ze only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and going straight to his heart.

He never expected that the situation would be so complicated.

The great Ming Dynasty not only had to deal with the Tatar barbarians, but also had to guard against a mysterious time traveler.

It's really a double whammy, with internal and external troubles!

"Does this time traveler have a name?" Chu Ze asked anxiously.

"It took me a long time to find out his name." The old man whispered.

"He calls himself 'Sky Eagle'. As for his real name, no one knows."

"Sky Eagle." Chu Ze muttered to himself, "What a prestigious name."

"I want to see what you are capable of to dare to run wild in my Ming Dynasty!"

Thinking of this, Chu Ze came up with an idea.

He leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, the old man's face changed drastically: "Isn't this appropriate? If the news gets out, it will not only be useless, but will also..."

"This is a bad idea." Chu Ze said in a deep voice, "But we have no other choice at the moment. Otherwise, our army will be doomed."

The old man hesitated again and again, and finally nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll risk my life and give it a try. I hope God bless you."

After everything was arranged, Chu Ze finally felt relieved.

He looked around and saw that the war was nearing its end and the Tatar army was being defeated and disintegrated.

"All troops attack! Pursue the victory!" Chu Ze gave the order and all the horses fell silent.

The Ming army, with high morale, galloped freely across the vast Gobi Desert.

The Tatar army was chased so badly that they had to flee in panic.

At the same time, in the Tatar army camp.

The Chanyu Alibugha was pacing anxiously in the tent.

"Assholes! How dare the Ming army be so rampant!"

"Come here! Send a message to all the troops to intercept them with all your strength! Make sure to kill them all!"

The time traveler Tianying on the side said hurriedly: "Wait! My lord, please don't be impatient."

"Why?" Alibuge's eyes widened with anger, "Do you still want Chu Ze to succeed?"

Tianying sneered: "My lord, you don't know. I have a big secret here."

"Oh?" Alibuga became interested and sat down quickly. "Tell me, what is the secret?"

Tianying smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice to say, "My lord, do you still remember the spy we intercepted that day?"

"I remember. Didn't you kill him with one sword?" Alibuge disagreed. "No, no, no, that's not the point." Tianying shook his head.

"Before his death, the spy revealed a shocking secret!"

"What secret?" Alibugha asked.

Tianying looked around with a serious expression: "That spy said that there is a spy hidden under Chu Ze's command!"

"What?!" Alibuge was shocked. "How is this possible?"

"That's absolutely true." Tianying swore, "The spy also said that the spy holds an important position and is one of Chu Ze's confidants!"

"So that's it." Alibuga suddenly understood, a sly look flashing in his eyes.

"This is a rare opportunity. If we can kill someone with a borrowed knife, we can alienate the ruler and his subjects."

"My lord is wise!" Tianying was overjoyed. "We can start from this, sow discord between them, and let them kill each other!"

"By then, will you still worry about not being able to destroy Chu Ze?"

Alibuge stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "Great! As expected of the Sky Eagle, you are a master of foresight and a role model for our generation!"

"Quick, prepare the horses! Pass my order and return to the capital immediately. We must prepare for a rainy day and wait for the right opportunity to act!"

Tianying was stunned when he heard this: "My lord, is it inappropriate to withdraw troops so easily?"

"We have finally reached the heart of the Ming army. If we withdraw now, won't all our efforts be wasted?"

Alibuga was confident: "Tianying, you are too young. Sometimes, retreating at the right time can be a form of attack."

"Chu Ze was so overwhelmed by victory that he became extremely complacent.

If we can seize the opportunity to stir up trouble and set some traps, we will surely make him lose his composure and bring about his own destruction!"

Seeing that he was so sure of what he said, Tianying said no more and immediately took the order and left.

After a while, a long horn was heard, and the Tatar army began to retreat and move north.

On the battlefield, Chu Ze was leading his troops in pursuit when he suddenly saw the enemy army retreat.

"Humph, the Tatars are indeed a bunch of cowards! It's only just begun, and they're already failing?"

"The entire army continues the pursuit! Don't let anyone go!" Chu Ze gave an order and morale was greatly boosted.

However, what happened next left everyone stunned and in disbelief.

The Tatar army, which had been in a miserable and defeated state, suddenly seemed to have received divine help. They regrouped and fought back with great momentum!
For a moment, the Ming army was caught off guard and immediately fell into a bitter battle.

"What's going on? Why are these Tatar lackeys attacking just like that?" Chu Ze was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

At this moment, a cold arrow whizzed towards us again!

It was the same old man who came to the rescue once again.

But this time, he couldn't avoid the cold arrow.

With a "swish", the sharp arrow pierced through the chest and blood splattered.

"No!" Chu Ze was horrified and quickly supported the fallen old man.

"Father, how are you? Hang in there!"

The old man's face was pale, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth: "Sir, the spy is right beside you."

"Be careful. That one"

Before he could finish his words, the old man's eyes dimmed and there was no sign of life.

Chu Ze was grief-stricken. Regardless of the tears on his face, he shouted an order: "All troops, fight! Kill all those Tartar thieves and avenge my father-in-law!"

However, it was too late.

The Tatar army seemed to have eaten okra, and the Ming army was defeated step by step and completely routed.

Chu Ze, who had been confident of victory, was thrown into disarray by this sudden counterattack.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!" He had no choice but to give this order which made him feel ashamed and angry to death.

The army fled in panic, leaving behind only casualties and ruins.

For a moment, the sounds of trumpets, shouts, and wails intertwined into a sad melody.

Chu Ze stumbled out of the battlefield, feeling grief-stricken and angry.

Just now, the old man's words before his death were still lingering in his ears.

"The spy is around. Be careful of him."

"Who is it? Who is the spy beside me?"

Chu Ze scratched his head but couldn't figure it out.

He looked around: Zhao Si, Li Changji, Li Si, these close confidants, which one of them was not loyal?
"Could it be that God is playing such a joke on me again?"

Chu Ze looked up to the sky and sighed, unable to help feeling sad.

However, a greater crisis is yet to come. (End of this chapter)
