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

Chu Ze looked around and saw that all the soldiers were extremely excited with tears in their eyes.

They held Chu Ze's hands tightly and spoke incoherent words of thanks.

"General, you are our savior! Without you, we would have died under the swords of the Tatars long ago!"

"Yes, General, your brilliant plan saved us from death. Thank you so much!"

An old soldier burst into tears, his hands trembling, and wanted to kneel down to Chu Ze.

Chu Ze quickly helped him up and said emotionally: "Child, don't be like this. Defeating the enemy is our common achievement. We all made great contributions."

"But General, those strange weapons and your strategic planning are truly amazing! How can we, the ignorant folks, compare to you?"

"That's right, General, you are like a god descended from heaven. We are honored to follow you. It's a great honor!"

The soldiers spoke one after another and praised Chu Ze highly.

Chu Ze listened to these compliments and felt mixed emotions.

How could he deserve such admiration and trust from these brave men?
Perhaps, this is the unique charm of time travelers.

Chu Ze sighed softly and looked around at everyone with a smile on his face.

"My fellow soldiers, listen to me."

"Although I, Chu Ze, have some outstanding qualities, I am just an ordinary person."

“We were able to achieve today’s victory thanks to the joint efforts of all of us.”

"Each of you is a hero who stands tall and proud!"

"Without your bravery and fighting skills, how could I be able to plan and strategize?"

"Without your help, how could I have won the battle thousands of miles away?"

Chu Ze's words moved all the soldiers present.

"General, you are too modest. Your extraordinary skills are obvious to all of us."

"That's right! If it weren't for your command, how could we, a mob, defeat the elite army of the Tatars?"

Everyone spoke one after another, vying to express their admiration for Chu Ze.

Chu Ze felt warm in his heart and became even more grateful to these loyal subordinates.

"My dear ministers, thank you all for your hard work."

"Now that the enemy has been eliminated, let us set out to return to the capital and report the results of the battle to the emperor."

"I, Chu Ze, will definitely commend the merits of all the soldiers in front of the emperor, and will never let your contributions be buried."

These words made the soldiers kowtow one after another.

"We thank you for your cultivation, lord. We will do our utmost to serve you!"

"Please, my lord, please be clear and return to the capital immediately!"

Thus, a triumphant journey of victory began.

The tall war horses marched with vigorous steps, carrying the armored warriors on their backs.

They are full of vigor and energy, like an invincible and victorious army.

Along the way, countless people lined the streets to cheer, vying to see this legendary time-traveling general.

"Look, that's the invincible General Chu!"

"My God, the horse he rides, the armor he wears, and the sword in his hand are all strange things I have never seen before!"

"No wonder the Tatars are so frightened. With such a powerful weapon, who dares to fight against them?"

The people praised him highly and admired Chu Ze very much.

Wherever Chu Ze passed, countless people bowed to him.

"Welcome General Chu to return triumphantly, he has killed the enemy for the country and eliminated harm for the people!"

"General Chu is a god-like man of the time, a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and a role model for our generation!"

The cheers along the way were earth-shaking.

The people sang and danced and lined the streets to see them off as if it were a festival.

Before they knew it, Chu Ze and his companions had arrived in the suburbs of Beijing.

From afar, you can see the towering palace walls and numerous towers.

There is the heart of the Ming Dynasty, the center of the vortex of countless political schemes and intrigues.

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Zhu Biao, you are a ghost boy, now it's time to pay for your sins.

I want to see how long you can continue to be so arrogant in the face of the laws of the Ming Dynasty?

Just when Chu Ze was about to ride his horse into the palace, Zhao Si, who was beside him, suddenly ran over in a hurry.

"General, this is bad! The spies just reported that something happened in the capital!"

"What?" Chu Ze's heart skipped a beat and he asked quickly, "What happened?"

Zhao Si gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has passed away!"

"what?!"

Chu Ze felt dizzy and almost fell off his horse.

"What happened? Didn't he ascend the throne not long ago? How could he just disappear like that?"

"I don't know the details, I just heard that the emperor suddenly fell ill and died in the blink of an eye."

"Nonsense! How can Zhu Biao, who is so young, die so easily?"

Chu Ze's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "There is definitely something fishy about this matter. It must be those treacherous villains who are causing trouble!"

He moved twice on the horse's back anxiously, his eyes gloomy.

"No, I have to go to the palace to see clearly! The cause of death must be investigated thoroughly, and we must not let those people take advantage of it!"

After saying that, Chu Ze kicked his horse's belly and rushed straight towards the palace.

Zhao Si hurriedly shouted: "General, be careful! The palace is as deep as the sea, and there are many villains like ghosts!"

Chu Ze turned a deaf ear and just ran wildly.

He was extremely anxious, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

"Could it be that Zhu Biao had calculated my triumphant return and was deliberately creating chaos?"

"Hmph, even if you faked your death, I will still find out your true identity and make sure you die without a burial place!"

Chu Ze gritted his teeth secretly, his eyes as sharp as torches.

Soon, he rushed to the palace gate.

But the situation before him surprised him!
The palace gates were tightly closed and heavily guarded.

Countless Royal Guards, armed with guns and live ammunition, surrounded the entrance.

"Even the palace gates are sealed? It looks like something serious has happened."

Chu Ze felt something was wrong, so he quickly dismounted and walked quickly to the guard.

"I am General Chu Ze, the Great Zhenbei General. I have been ordered to return to the capital to report on my duties. Please open the door immediately!"

He shouted loudly, staring at the guard with a piercing gaze.

Unexpectedly, the guard remained unmoved and sneered:
"Hey, General Chu? Something has happened in the palace now, no one can enter. General, please go back."

"What do you mean? I am an imperial envoy, but I can't even enter the palace?"

Chu Ze's face turned pale and he was about to explode, but Zhao Si beside him quickly held him back.

"General, don't be impulsive. We should be careful. The palace is treacherous right now. If there is a trap, we will fall into the trap."

Chu Ze snorted coldly, his face full of reluctance, but he could do nothing about it.

"Okay, in that case, I will wait for the order outside the palace. Let's see how long you can keep the secret!"

After saying that, he turned around angrily and strode away.

Zhao Si hurriedly followed and whispered, "General, in my opinion, we should go back to the mansion to rest first. Wait and see what happens, and then act when the time is right, so as not to alert the enemy."

Chu Ze nodded, but his face was gloomy.

"That's fine. Since these treacherous people are afraid of me entering the palace, they must have something to hide."

"I want to see what they are doing!"

After returning to the general's mansion, Chu Ze immediately deployed spies to gather information everywhere.

Not long after, shocking news came one after another.

"General, I heard that a 'time traveler' appeared in the palace. Just a few days before the emperor passed away, someone saw a masked man in black sneaking in and out of the palace." (End of this chapter)
