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

The golden light became brighter and brighter, and finally completely enveloped Liu Ruyan's body. Then, the golden light slowly rose and finally disappeared into the night sky.

Chu Ze looked at the disappearing golden light, his heart filled with sadness and reluctance. He knew that he would never see Liu Ruyan again.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences." Elder Tianji comforted him, "Although Miss Liu has left you, she will definitely be watching over you and blessing you in heaven."

Chu Ze took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness in his heart. He turned to look at Old Man Tianji, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Senior, I don't know how to repay your kindness."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me." Old Man Tianji smiled slightly, "I just hope that Your Majesty can cheer up and lead the Ming Dynasty to prosperity."

Chu Ze nodded, his eyes full of determination. He knew that he could not disappoint Liu Ruyan's expectations, and even more so, he could not disappoint the expectations of Elder Tianji.

He must cheer up, avenge Liu Ruyan, expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and accomplish great things!
He turned around and walked down the mountain. His figure seemed particularly tall and determined in the night. What he didn't know was that behind him, there was a subtle sly light in the eyes of the old man Tianji...

Chu Ze went down the mountain very quickly, the wind whistled in his ears, and the shadows of the trees passed by like ghosts. Liu Ruyan's face kept appearing in his mind, that gentle smile, that concerned look, now turned into a sharp blade, piercing his heart again and again. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and a raging anger burned in his heart. Bai Wuchang, you wait! I will tear you into pieces!

Back in the palace, Chu Ze went straight to the imperial study. He needed to calm down and make a plan. Although he knew Bai Wuchang's weakness, he still needed to think carefully about how to use it.

Chu Ze opened the door of the imperial study and was stunned. A man in white was standing in front of the window with his back to him, his hands behind his back. That figure and that posture were somewhat similar to Bai Wuchang!

Chu Ze was startled. Could it be that Bai Wuchang had already sneaked into the palace? He held his breath, slowly drew out the sword from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, pointed it directly at the man in white.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze asked sternly.

The man in white turned around slowly, revealing a handsome face. However, there was a hint of cynical smile on his face, which was completely different from Bai Wuchang's coldness.

"Your humble servant Chu Yun pays respect to His Majesty." The man in white bowed slightly, speaking in a frivolous tone.

Chu Ze frowned, this voice was clearly from his younger brother, the dandy boy who was idle all day long and did not work!
"What are you doing here?" Chu Ze put the sword back into the scabbard, his tone still cold.

Chu Yun smiled, walked up to Chu Ze, and looked directly at him without fear, "Brother Emperor, I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you specially."

"I don't need your hypocrisy." Chu Ze snorted coldly and walked to the dragon throne and sat down.

"Royal brother, why do you have to keep people at a distance?" Chu Yun walked to Chu Ze, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea. "I really care about you, Royal brother."

Chu Ze glanced at him and said, "What is your purpose? Just tell me directly."

Chu Yun chuckled, "Brother Emperor is indeed a smart man. I do have something to ask of you."

"Speak." "I heard that the emperor got help from Elder Tianji and recovered his power." Chu Yun put down the teacup and his eyes became serious. "I would also like to ask the emperor to introduce Elder Tianji to you."

Chu Ze sneered in his heart. This was his real purpose. The whereabouts of the old man Tianji were mysterious, and even he didn't know the specific whereabouts of the old man. This Chu Yun had a good plan.

"Old Man Tianji is like a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. I don't know where he is." Chu Ze said lightly.

"Royal brother, please don't hide it from me." Chu Yun approached Chu Ze and whispered, "I know that you must know the whereabouts of Elder Tianji. As long as you are willing to tell me, I am willing to pay any price."

Chu Ze looked at Chu Yun, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. This useless brother actually dared to negotiate with him?

"Any cost?" Chu Ze repeated, his tone meaningful.

"That's right, any cost." Chu Yun nodded affirmatively.

Chu Ze laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "I want you to get out of the palace now and never come back."

Chu Yun's face changed, "Brother, you..."

"Why, you don't want to?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say any price?"

Chu Yun gritted his teeth, a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but in the end he said nothing and turned to leave the imperial study.

Chu Ze looked at Chu Yun's departing back, with a sneer on his face. This idiot, did he really think he could get any benefit from him?
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the capital city in the night, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Bai Wuchang, I will come to settle accounts with you soon! And that old man Tianji, who are you? What is your purpose in approaching me?
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps. Chu Ze turned around alertly and saw a man in black quietly appearing behind him. The man in black had his face covered, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. In his hand, he held a sharp dagger, pointing directly at Chu Ze's heart.

Chu Ze was shocked. Was this the assassin sent by Bai Wuchang? He was about to attack, but found that he couldn't move! A strange force imprisoned him, making him unable to move at all!
The man in black approached step by step, and the cold light on the dagger became brighter and brighter. The shadow of death enveloped Chu Ze, and he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating...

At this critical moment, a white light flashed, and the man in black screamed, flew backwards, and fell heavily to the ground.

Chu Ze turned around and saw a figure in white standing at the door, holding a long sword in his hand, with blood dripping from the sword. That figure was none other than Chu Yun who had just left!
After a brief moment of shock, Chu Ze quickly regained his composure. He stared at Chu Yun coldly, his eyes full of inquiry. "Why did you save me?"

Chu Yun retracted his sword, and the blood on the tip of the sword dripped onto the floor, making a crisp sound. He raised his head, with a faint smile on his face, completely different from the nervousness just now. "Brother, I just don't want others to get there first."

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes slightly. This smile made him feel uneasy. Chu Yun's words sounded like an explanation, but also like a threat. He thought to himself, this Chu Yun is really not simple.

"Oh? So, you are also interested in taking my life?" Chu Ze asked tentatively.

Chu Yun walked up to the man in black, kicked his motionless body with his foot, and said lightly, "Your Majesty, you are joking. How dare I have such a rebellious idea? But this assassin looks familiar to me. It seems that he is Bai Wuchang's subordinate." (End of this chapter)
