Zhu Di felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

He looked at Chu Ze's resolute face and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he sighed and spoke slowly.

"Well, I can't force it."

"My dear minister, you have devoted your life to the Ming Dynasty and will not stop until your death. How can I let your reputation be ruined after your death?"

"In this case, I will grant your request."

"At that time, I will declare you a civilian and give you freedom."

"From now on, you are a free Chu Ze, without any constraints."

Chu Ze heard this and burst into tears of gratitude.

He struggled to get up and bowed deeply to Zhu Di.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. I am grateful!"

Zhu Di hurriedly stepped forward to help Chu Ze up, his eyes complicated.

"My dear, you don't have to be so polite. This is what you deserve."

"It's just that I can't bear to leave you eventually."

At the end of his words, Zhu Di's voice was choked with sobs.

His eyes were slightly red and he quickly turned his face away.

Chu Ze saw this and felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

He knew that the monarch's kindness to him had surpassed the friendship between a monarch and his subject.

Unfortunately, fate plays a trick on us and we have to go our separate ways eventually.

"Your Majesty, please do not be sad. Although I am in another place, my heart is always with the Ming Dynasty."

"The future of the Ming Dynasty is entrusted to your Majesty."

"I also ask Your Majesty to think of the people of the world and work hard to govern the country. Don't let me down."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, I'm here and I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"I will do my best to make the Ming Dynasty more glorious!"

"My dear, take care on your journey."

"In the next life, if we are destined to be together, we can be brothers again."

At the end, Zhu Di could no longer control himself and tears welled up in his eyes.

He suddenly hugged Chu Ze in his arms, choking with sobs.

Chu Ze's eyes were also filled with tears, and he hugged his best friend tightly back.

"Your Majesty, take care. The future of the Ming Dynasty is in your hands."

"If we are destined to be together again in the next life, we will definitely be sworn brothers again."

After a long time, the two reluctantly parted.

Zhu Di wiped away his tears and forced a smile.

"My dear, please take a rest first. I will personally arrange the farewell banquet."

"By then, you will be in great glory and astonish everyone!"

Chu Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head, his tone helpless.

"Your Majesty, you are so serious. I have already told you not to make such a big fuss."

"Okay! This is not up to you!"

Zhu Di pretended to be angry, but there was a glimmer of cunning in his eyes.

"Besides, have you ever forgotten?"

"You said so when we conquered the Tatars."

"On the day of your triumph, I will hold a celebration banquet for you!"

“Although this is not a celebration, it is also a farewell.”

"You can't avoid this farewell banquet!"

Chu Ze suddenly understood after hearing this.

He remembered that he had indeed talked about this matter at the beginning, but was interrupted by various changes and had completely forgotten it.

"Your Majesty has a good memory. That was a long time ago."

Chu Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Well, since Your Majesty insists, I will respectfully obey your command."

"When the time comes, don't blame me for destroying your reputation!"

"Don't worry! I'll protect you, no matter how big the problem is!"

Zhu Di laughed and patted Chu Ze's shoulder with confidence.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should have a good rest."

"Tomorrow morning, I will start arranging the farewell banquet."

"When the time comes, I will make sure you enjoy unprecedented glory!"

After saying that, Zhu Di looked at Chu Ze meaningfully and strode away.

Chu Ze watched Zhu Di go away, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He turned to look at Fang Arong, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"Arong, I'm sorry."

"Your husband is leaving you"

Fang Arong burst into tears when she heard this.

She threw herself into her husband's arms and burst into tears.

"My husband, are you so cruel?"

"You're going to leave us alone, mother and son." "Arong, I'm sorry."

Chu Ze hugged his beloved wife tightly, his heart aching.

How he wished he could let go of everything and live with his wife and children until old age.

But with a mission to fulfill, how could he indulge in love?
"Arong, you have to listen to me."

Chu Ze gently pushed his wife away and said seriously.

"I may never come back after I leave."

"From now on, you are the child's only support."

"You have to be strong and live well."

"Don't let a child lose his mother without a father."

"No! I don't want you to leave! I don't want to!"

Fang Arong cried heartbreakingly and held her husband tightly.

Chu Ze sighed, feeling extremely sad.

He hated unfaithful people the most in his life, but he didn't expect that today he would have to experience the drama of life and death himself.

"Arong, you have to understand."

Chu Ze held back his tears and spoke word by word.

"In my life, I have no regrets in marrying a virtuous wife like you."

"But I have a more important mission to accomplish, which is to protect the safety of this time and space."

"If I cling to my love and refuse to leave, it will only hurt everyone in the end."

"Including you, including the children, including the entire Ming Dynasty"

"So, I have to go."

“This is my destiny, my responsibility”

Fang Arong burst into tears when she heard this, but she gradually understood her husband's difficulties.

She knew that no matter how hard she tried to keep him, she couldn't keep this man who wanted to save the world.

"My husband, I understand."

Fang Arong choked up and looked at her husband with tearful eyes.

"Since you have made your decision, I will not force you."

"Just promise me that you will come back safely."

"I'm here, waiting for you to come home"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze could no longer control himself and burst into tears.

He hugged his beloved wife tightly, his voice trembling.

"Arong, I'm sorry."

"I can't promise you because I don't know if I can come back."

"But I promise you, live or die, my heart will always be yours."

"In the next life, if we are destined to be together, I will marry you again"

"Master!"

Fang Arong burst into tears and snuggled tightly in her husband's arms.

She knew that this moment was the last tender moment between her and her husband.

From tomorrow on, we will be separated from each other and our life or death is uncertain.

After a long time, Chu Ze reluctantly let go of his wife.

He looked at Fang Arong deeply, his eyes full of reluctance and attachment.

"Arong, take care."

"I'm leaving"

After saying that, Chu Ze strode away without looking back.

Behind him, Fang Arong's crying could be heard for a long time.

Chu Ze walked out of the tent and looked at the starry sky, feeling sad.

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

Don't look down on the young and poor, because there will be separation eventually.

The once high-spirited time traveler was ultimately unable to defeat the ruthlessness of time and space.

He looked up at the sky, his vision blurred by tears.

"God, you brought me to this era, have you ever thought about my feelings?"

"I worked so hard and gave everything, but in the end all I got was a farewell forever"

"Is this the answer you gave me?"

"I'm not reconciled!"

Chu Ze howled to the sky, his voice hoarse.

He fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face.

I feel so reluctant, but I can't do anything about it.

Just then, a breeze blew.

An old voice seemed to be heard in the wind.

"Young man, don't blame others."

"This is your destiny and your choice."

"Have you ever regretted traveling through time and space?"

Chu Ze was stunned and looked around with tearful eyes.
