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

The two men simply bandaged their wounds, and quietly left the ruined temple under the cover of night, heading towards Beiyan.

……

At the same time, in Chu Ze's bedroom, a figure appeared silently in front of his bed.

Chu Ze was sleeping soundly and had no idea that danger was coming.

A cold light flashed in the black shadow's hand, and a dagger slowly stabbed towards Chu Ze's heart...

Just as the dagger was about to pierce Chu Ze's chest, he suddenly opened his eyes!
The dagger stopped an inch in front of Chu Ze's chest, and the sharp tip of the blade almost touched his skin. However, Chu Ze's eyes were wide open, and there was no fear in his eyes, but a hint of mockery.

The black shadow was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Ze to wake up at this time.

"You..." As soon as the black shadow uttered a word, Chu Ze made a lightning-fast move and grabbed his wrist.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Chu Ze's voice was cold, like a Shura from hell.

The black shadow was horrified and tried to pull his hand back, but found that his wrist was as if clamped by an iron clamp and he could not move.

Chu Ze sneered and twisted his hand hard. With a crisp "crack" sound, the black shadow's wrist broke.

The black shadow screamed, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. Chu Ze kicked him in the chest, sending him flying and hitting the wall hard.

"Tell me, who sent you here?" Chu Ze looked down at the black shadow lying on the ground, his eyes full of murderous intent.

The shadow endured the severe pain and said through gritted teeth: "You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you! Don't even think about getting any information from me!"

A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, "You're being stubborn, eh? I have plenty of ways to make you speak!"

He bent down, picked up the dagger on the ground, waved it in front of the shadow, and said slowly: "I heard there is a kind of punishment called 'Lingchi'. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

The black shadow's face turned pale in an instant. Although he was not afraid of death, he was afraid of this cruel punishment.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" the black shadow said tremblingly, "It was... Chu Yun who sent me here!"

Chu Ze sneered, "It's him! I knew he wouldn't let it go!"

He stepped on the black shadow's chest with a cold look in his eyes, "Take him away and interrogate him strictly!"

……

Chu Yun and Zhao Kun fled all the way, sleeping in the open air, and were in a miserable state.

"Your Highness, we have been walking for several days. When will we reach Beiyan?" Zhao Kun asked with a tired look on his face.

Chu Yun's face was gloomy, he didn't know when he could reach Beiyan. Since they escaped from the capital, they have been avoiding the pursuit of the soldiers, and they dared not take the main road, and could only travel through the mountains and forests.

"It's almost there, it should be soon." Chu Yun comforted, but his tone was full of uncertainty.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the forest.

"Oh no! They're soldiers!" Zhao Kun's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.

Chu Yun also heard the sound of horse hooves. His face was gloomy and his heart was filled with despair. Was God going to kill him?

"Prince, let's run!" Zhao Kun pulled Chu Yun and wanted to escape.

However, it was too late.

A group of Jinyiwei riding fast horses surrounded them from all directions.

"Chu Yun, you can't run away!" the leading Jinyiwei commander shouted sternly.

Chu Yun looked at the Jinyiwei around him and knew that he had no way to escape. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he drew his sword, ready to make a final desperate struggle.

"Brother Zhao, let's fight our way out!" Chu Yun said to Zhao Kun.

Zhao Kun also drew his weapon, and the two of them fought with the Jinyiwei.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that they are already exhausted and their injuries have not yet healed.

Soon, Chu Yun and Zhao Kun were at a disadvantage, with several more wounds on their bodies. "Chu Yun, surrender!" The Jinyiwei commander persuaded them to surrender again.

Chu Yun sneered, "Don't even think about it! If you want to catch me, you have to step over my dead body first!"

He waved the sword in his hand and continued to fight with the Jinyiwei.

At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot from a distance and hit Chu Yun in the chest.

Chu Yun screamed, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. He covered his chest and slowly fell down.

"Prince!" Zhao Kun cried out in grief.

The commander of the Jinyiwei looked at Chu Yun lying on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally caught him!
……

After Chu Ze received the news that Chu Yun was captured, he did not feel the slightest joy in his heart. Instead, he felt an indescribable heaviness.

Although Chu Yun made a big mistake, he was his brother after all. Now that he had ended up like this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Take Chu Yun back to the capital and keep him under strict watch." Chu Ze ordered.

"According to the order!"

……

In a dilapidated temple outside the capital, a dark shadow stood there quietly, looking at the Jinyiwei going away, with a sneer on his face.

"Chu Yun, do you think you can really escape? You are just a chess piece in my hand."

The black shadow turned and disappeared into the night, leaving behind only a creepy back...

At the same time, far away on the border of Beiyan, a large army was quietly gathering, preparing to invade Ming Dynasty from the south...

The banner of this army is "Revitalize the Great Chu"!
The leader was a man wearing black armor and with a stern face.

This person was none other than the black shadow who had failed in the assassination attempt on Chu Ze’s bedroom before!
His true identity is...

……

The man in black mentioned above is Chu Xuan, Chu Ze's half brother and the deposed former crown prince. When the previous emperor passed away, Chu Xuan should have inherited the throne, but Chu Ze deposed Chu Xuan on the charge of colluding with foreign enemies and ascended the throne himself. Chu Xuan was forced to flee to Northern Yan, where he endured hardships and finally assembled a large army to make a comeback.

Chu Ze paced back and forth in the imperial study, frowning. Chu Yun was captured, Chu Xuan's army was approaching, and internal and external troubles made him feel tremendous pressure.

"Your Majesty, Chu Yun has been brought here." A eunuch came in to report.

"Bring it up!" Chu Ze said in a deep voice.

A moment later, Chu Yun was brought into the imperial study. He was disheveled, ragged, and had several unhealed wounds on his body. He looked very embarrassed.

Seeing Chu Ze, Chu Yun's eyes were filled with resentment.

"Chu Ze, you despicable villain! How dare you use such despicable means to frame me!" Chu Yun roared.

Chu Ze sneered, "Framed? You colluded with Beiyan and intended to rebel. The evidence is irrefutable. Do you still dare to say that I framed you?"

"You..." Chu Yun was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"I will spare your life because we are brothers. But you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life. Come, take Chu Yun to the Sky Prison and imprison him for life!"

"Yes!"

Two guards stepped forward and took Chu Yun away.

After Chu Yun left, Chu Ze walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, and felt annoyed.

Chu Xuan's army may arrive at the city at any time, and he must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

"Someone come here!" Chu Ze shouted.

A eunuch rushed in. (End of this chapter)
