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

The woman smiled sweetly, her voice as clear and sweet as a silver bell, "Your Majesty, I am here to give you a great gift."

"A great gift?" Chu Ze frowned slightly, "What great gift?"

The woman didn't say anything, but took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Chu Ze.

Chu Ze took the letter, unfolded it, and his face turned pale. The letter said that King Rui had assembled an army of 100,000 and was heading towards the capital, and would be at the gates of the city soon.

“Prince Rui…he actually…” Chu Ze gritted his teeth and clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

The woman chuckled, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so angry. Now that I am here, I naturally have a way to help Your Majesty resolve this crisis."

Chu Ze raised his head and stared at the woman with burning eyes, "What can you do?"

The woman smiled slightly, leaned close to Chu Ze's ear, and whispered, "Your Majesty, I can help you... kill King Rui."

Chu Ze's heart was moved. This woman was so arrogant that she dared to say that she could kill King Rui. You know, although King Rui was not as good as him, he was also a master of his generation. How could he be killed so easily?

"You...why?" Chu Ze asked.

A cold light flashed in the woman's eyes, "Your Majesty, I have a brilliant plan, and I only need your cooperation."

Chu Ze looked at the woman's confident look and couldn't help but waver in his heart. Now that King Rui's army was approaching and the capital was in danger, it would be great if this woman could really kill King Rui.

"Okay, I promise you." Chu Ze said in a deep voice, "How do you need me to cooperate?"

The woman smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty only needs to..."

The woman whispered her plan to Chu Ze. As Chu Ze listened, his face gradually became solemn, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

……

Three days later, King Rui's army arrived at the city.

On the city wall, Chu Ze, wearing a dragon robe, stood proudly, looking down at the rebels below the city.

"King Rui, you dare to rebel. Today is the day you die!" Chu Ze's voice was like thunder, resounding throughout the battlefield.

Under the city, King Rui rode a tall horse and laughed loudly, "Chu Ze, don't be so arrogant! Today, I will take your life and seize your throne!"

"How dare you!" Chu Ze shouted angrily, "I want to see what you are capable of!"

After saying that, Chu Ze leaped down from the city wall and landed in front of King Rui like a god descending from heaven.

When King Rui saw this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He drew the sword from his waist, pointed at Chu Ze, and sneered: "Chu Ze, you are really courting death!"

"I'm standing here, what can you do to me?" Chu Ze's mouth curled up with a hint of disdain, with his hands behind his back, looking fearless.

King Rui roared and swung his sword towards Chu Ze. Chu Ze dodged King Rui's attack easily.

"With just this little ability, you dare to rebel?" Chu Ze said sarcastically.

King Rui was furious and swung his sword towards Chu Ze again. This time, Chu Ze did not dodge, but stretched out two fingers to clamp King Rui's sword.

"What?!" King Rui was horrified. He used all his strength but couldn't pull the sword out.

Chu Ze sneered, exerted force suddenly, and actually broke King Rui's sword.

Prince Rui was so frightened that he turned around and tried to run away, but Chu Ze grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

"Want to run? Too late!" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Chu Ze's eyes.

At this moment, a sharp arrow flew through the air and shot straight at Chu Ze's back. Chu Ze slightly turned sideways and dodged the arrow.

He looked back and saw the woman in black standing on the city wall, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, sneering at him.

Chu Ze was shocked. He never thought that this woman would betray him!

Chu Ze's heart was in turmoil, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He had always thought that this woman was here to help him, but he didn't expect that she would stab him in the back at this critical moment!
"Why?" Chu Ze asked through gritted teeth, his voice full of anger and confusion. The woman stood on the tower, looking down at Chu Ze with a mocking smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you are so naive. Do you really think that there is anyone in this world who will help you for no reason?"

"What do you want?" Chu Ze suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.

"I want the Ming Dynasty!" The woman's tone was cold, her eyes full of ambition.

Chu Ze couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard that. "Just you? You don't deserve it!"

"Whether they are worthy or not is not up to you to decide." The woman snorted coldly, "Prince Rui, do it!"

Following the woman's order, King Rui's army rushed towards Chu Ze like a tide. Although Chu Ze was powerful, he could not defeat four hands with two fists, not to mention that he had to guard against the woman's hidden arrows.

Chu Ze fought and retreated, and was gradually forced to the edge of the city wall. He knew that if he continued like this, he would surely die.

At this critical moment, a feather arrow flew through the air and hit the woman in the chest. The woman screamed and fell from the tower, dying on the spot.

Chu Ze looked back and saw a man in black standing on the city wall with a bow and arrow in his hand.

"Who are you?" Chu Ze asked.

"I am the commander of the Shadow Guards. I have come to rescue you at the Queen Mother's order." The man in black knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

Chu Ze then realized that it was the Queen Mother who secretly sent people to protect him.

"Thank you." Chu Ze said gratefully.

"Your Majesty, please don't be polite. This is my duty." The Shadow Guard Commander said, "Now that the morale of King Rui's army is low, it is a good time to counterattack."

Chu Ze nodded. He knew that the Shadow Guard Commander was right. He took a deep breath and raised his arms and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"kill!"

The morale of the Ming soldiers was high, and they rushed towards King Rui's army like a tiger descending from a mountain.

When Prince Rui saw that the situation was hopeless, he was so frightened that he turned around and tried to escape.

“Where are you running to!” Chu Ze shouted angrily, leaped up and stood in front of King Rui.

"Chu Ze, you..." Before King Rui could finish his words, Chu Ze slapped him on the top of his head and shattered it.

After King Rui's death, the rebels were leaderless and fled in all directions, abandoning their weapons and armor.

Chu Ze led the army to pursue the victory, annihilated the rebels in one fell swoop, and put down the rebellion.

……

After the rebellion was quelled, Chu Ze returned to the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you okay?" the Queen Mother asked with concern.

"I'm fine, thank you mother for your concern." Chu Ze said.

"I have already found out that the woman is a spy sent from the Western Regions, whose purpose is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty." said the Queen Mother.

"Western Region?" A cold light flashed in Chu Ze's eyes. "It seems that it is time for me to go meet them."

……

The Western Regions, a mysterious and ancient country.

People here value the use of force and their character is tough.

Chu Ze disguised himself and came to the Western Regions alone. (End of this chapter)
