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

Fang Arong opened her eyes weakly, her vision blurred by tears.

"They kidnapped our child," she choked, her voice barely audible.

Chu Ze's heart ached, and he held his wife's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, Arong, I will definitely save our son. Even if I die, I will make those evildoers pay with blood!"

"Husband." Fang Arong struggled to get up, and Chu Ze hurriedly helped her to steady herself.

"You've been frightened, take a good rest. I'm here, and I won't let anyone hurt you."

Fang Arong shook her head, her eyes full of determination: "I'm fine. The most important thing now is to save the child. I can't lie here and recuperate."

She gritted her teeth and stood up. Despite her weak body, she said to Chu Ze earnestly, "Husband, let's go find the child together. There is nothing we can't overcome if we are united."

Seeing his wife so strong, Chu Ze also felt a sense of strength. He nodded heavily and stood side by side with his wife, as if he could withstand all the wind and rain.

"Zhao Si, Li Changji, go and investigate immediately. Make sure to find out where the mastermind behind this is hiding." Chu Ze ordered calmly.

"I will go to the palace and report to His Majesty, asking him to send people to arrest the murderer with all his strength."

"Yes!" The two men took the order and left with quick movements.

A thrilling rescue thus began.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy look in his eyes. After listening to Chu Ze's report, he couldn't help but get angry.

"These criminals are so heartless as to brutalize a baby! I will definitely instruct the Royal Guards to bring them to justice at all costs!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Ze knelt for a long time, tears in his eyes.

At this time, a eunuch hurried in and whispered something in Zhu Di's ear.

Zhu Di opened his eyes wide in astonishment: "What? A suspicious person was found in the palace?"

He stood up suddenly and ordered, "Come here, take me to see what's going on!"

Outside the palace, several guards knelt on the ground trembling with fear, escorting a ragged man.

The man was covered in wounds and blood, but his eyes were bright and sharp.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We found this man sneaking around in the corner of the palace wall. He seemed to be plotting something. After questioning, he confessed that he was a subordinate of the Sky Eagle and had sneaked into the palace to assassinate Your Majesty!"

"Who is so bold as to commit a crime in my palace?" Zhu Di's face turned pale and he shouted, "Who ordered you to do this? Is it related to the kidnapping of General Chu's son?"

The man endured the severe pain and suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahaha, yes, I did it! It's a pity that I failed at the last moment and failed to kill you!"

"You bold lunatic! How dare you say such nonsense!" Chu Ze was so angry that he drew his sword and was about to kill the thief.

"Wait." Zhu Di stretched out his hand to stop him, his eyes flashing, "Tell me the truth, where is the child now? If you explain clearly, I can spare your life."

The man sneered: "You idiots think you can get anything out of me? Dream on! Even if I die, I will never let you get what you want!"

After saying that, he suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the poison hidden at the root of his tongue!

"Oh no! He committed suicide by taking poison!" The guards were horrified.

The man rolled on the ground several times and then there was no sound.

"Damn it! Now all the clues are gone!" Chu Ze stomped his feet in annoyance.

Zhu Di also had a serious expression on his face: "This is definitely not the work of an ordinary assassin. There must be a major conspiracy behind it. My dear, please stay put and wait and see what happens. I will secretly order the Jinyiwei to investigate this case thoroughly and make sure you get justice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Ze murmured, but there was deep worry in his eyes.

He didn't know what the child's current situation was, let alone what tricks the enemy had planned. Everything was shrouded in mystery.

Returning to the devastated mansion, Chu Ze said nothing, but just hugged Fang Arong tightly, as if this was everything to him.

"Husband, don't worry, Arong will accompany you through this difficult time. No matter what happens, we will not be separated." Fang Arong held back her tears and comforted her husband.

"Arong." Chu Ze choked with sobs.

This strong and brave woman was his only comfort in the troubled times. Suddenly, Zhao Si came running over and shouted in panic: "General, something bad has happened!"

"What happened?" Chu Ze's expression was stern.

Zhao Si's face turned pale: "Li Changji was gathering information in the suburbs of the city, and was ambushed and seriously injured. His life is in danger!"

"what?!"

Chu Ze felt dizzy and was filled with rage.

These devils didn't even spare his closest confidants!

"Quick, take me to see him!"

Chu Ze picked up his sword and said resolutely.

No matter what the cost, he will find out the truth about this huge conspiracy and bring the real culprit behind it to justice!
In a simple house on the outskirts of the city, Li Changji was lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper.

When Chu Ze and Fang Arong arrived, they saw that he was barely breathing and his lips were pale.

"Brother Li! Wake up!" Chu Ze called out regardless of his grief.

Li Changji opened his eyes with great effort, his eyes unfocused: "General, your wife's child's whereabouts, I have already found out."

"What?! Where is it? Tell me quickly!" Chu Ze felt his heart pounding.

"Yes."

Li Changji suddenly started coughing violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Li, stop talking. Drink some water and take a rest." Fang Arong brought him some water with a concerned look.

Li Changji shook his head stubbornly: "It's too late. The general's child is hidden in Yulong Mountain."

He used up his last bit of strength to say this sentence with difficulty, and then he fell silent.

"Do not--!"

Chu Ze was heartbroken and burst into tears.

His knees went weak and he fell to the ground, crying out at the top of his lungs.

A loyal confidant died for him. A young child was in danger.

Oh, fate, why did you play such a cruel trick on him?

Beside her, Fang Arong's eyes were also red and swollen, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Husband, let's go to Yulong Mountain to rescue the child. No matter what, we must bring him back safely."

Chu Ze was silent for a while, then slowly stood up, his eyes blazing with anger.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "Arong, you are right. Let's set off now, charge into Yulong Mountain, and kill those evil bandits! I will make them pay double for Brother Li's revenge and the child's suffering today!"

Fang Arong nodded in agreement, her eyes firm: "My husband and I will live and die together. No matter what dangers lie ahead, I will face them with you."

The sky is getting dark and night has fallen.

Chu Ze and his group were exhausted and traveled day and night before finally arriving at the foot of Yulong Mountain.

This steep mountain range surrounded by mountains is hidden in a heavy mist, exuding an ominous feeling.

"It is said that wild beasts often roam here, and many people who go there never return." Zhao Si shuddered and whispered, "General, could this be a trap?"

Chu Ze looked around with a serious expression: "Even if it's a trap, I'm going to give it a try. For my son, I'm risking it!"

After saying that, he kicked his horse's belly and rushed into the thick fog first.

Behind him, Fang Arong followed without hesitation. (End of this chapter)
