"Boom!" Amid the earth-shaking explosions, the screams of the Western Xia cavalry were heard incessantly.
For a moment, blood and flesh were flying everywhere, and the ground was full of wailing.
Muhammad was also stunned by the overwhelming firepower.
While he was stunned, Chu Ze shouted: "All soldiers, fight back! Kill them!"
"Kill!" The Ming army soldiers on the train were also eager to try. They jumped off the battlefield and fought bravely.
For a moment, the scene was in extreme chaos. Soldiers met each other and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Chu Ze was not to be outdone. He drew his sword and used all his strength to fight with Muhammad.
"Damned Chu Ze! Watch me take your head today!" Muhammad roared, wielding his spear and aiming it at Chu Ze's throat.
Chu Ze snorted coldly, dodged to the side, and swung his sword back at Muhammad's face.
That was a move he learned from modern fighting techniques. It was extremely sophisticated and hit the vital points directly.
"What?!" Mohammed was shocked.
He never expected that Chu Ze's martial arts would be so amazing. This was simply unconventional!
Just when he was caught off guard, Chu Ze had already moved to his side, raised his sword and stabbed him in the chest!
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered everywhere. Muhammad screamed and fell to the ground with his horse.
"Ah." He covered the bleeding wound, his face as pale as paper.
"Damn Chuze, you will regret it." Muhammad said intermittently, his eyes full of unwillingness and hatred.
Chu Ze looked at him indifferently and said slowly: "Whether I regret it or not is not for you to worry about. But you have to think clearly about what happened today. How are you going to explain it to the court?"
"Hmph, those old men in the court have long been dissatisfied with the emperor's decision. I am just standing up for them."
Muhammad coughed up a mouthful of blood, already dying, "Even if I die, there are countless people who will seek justice for me."
Chu Ze narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Really? Then I want to see who gave you the courage to go against me!"
He raised his head and looked around, but saw that most of the Xixia cavalry had been killed or wounded, so how could they still have any fighting spirit?
"Stop it! If you move again, I will kill you all!" Chu Ze shouted.
Upon hearing this, the Western Xia cavalry acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy and obediently put down their weapons.
"Zhao Si, tie them all up for me!" Chu Ze ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Zhao Si took the order and led his men to tie up all the Xixia cavalry.
Chu Ze stared at them and smiled coldly: "How dare you, a bunch of unruly people, intercept the imperial envoy! Deceiving the emperor, your crime is unforgivable!"
"Since you have sworn allegiance to Muhammad, let's go to hell together!" Chu Ze said coldly.
"Come here, take them to the capital and let them stand trial in front of the steps!"
"Yes!" The guards responded and escorted the Western Xia cavalry one by one onto the Enterprise.
The train started again, carrying this group of overconfident rebels, and roared towards the capital.
Along the way, Chu Ze sat in the carriage, thinking deeply.
The opposition in the court was so powerful that they dared to assassinate me openly.
It seems that there will be a tough battle to implement the new policy across the country.
Soon, the train arrived at Beijing Station.
"General Chu is here——!"
There were exclamations in the station, and countless people rushed to watch, wanting to catch a glimpse of this legendary figure.
Chu Ze strode off the train with his head held high, dressed in military uniform and looking very heroic.
"Long live General Chu!" "With General Chu here, we are not afraid of the Xixia Tartars!" "May General Chu stay in the capital forever and protect us, the people!"
Cheers rang out one after another, and the people looked at Chu Ze excitedly, as if they had seen a long drought finally come to an end.
Chu Ze waved to them and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow citizens. Although I am not from the capital, I regard you as my parents and brothers. I will do my best to seek your welfare!"
After that, he turned around and ordered Zhao Si: "Take the prisoner to the prison, I will go to the palace to see the emperor." "Yes!"
After a dusty journey, Chu Ze arrived outside the Golden Palace, but was stopped by palace servants.
"Please calm down, my Lord. The Emperor is discussing matters. Please wait for a moment."
Chu Ze frowned and was about to enter the hall.
"Why are you stopping me? I am the imperial envoy, how can you stop me?"
The eunuch beside him said tremblingly: "Please forgive me, my Lord, the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb you."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Ze had already pushed aside the palace maid and strode into the Golden Palace.
"Your humble servant Chu Ze pays respect to Your Majesty!"
As soon as he knelt down, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting upright with a serious expression. The civil and military officials on both sides also looked solemn.
"My dear minister, you are here." Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, "I heard that you were assassinated on the way. Are you injured?"
Chu Ze hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am fine. However, the assassins have been captured by me and are awaiting your judgment."
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows. "Are these assassins the ones found in your mansion?"
Chu Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "It is this person. Your Majesty, please understand. This is a plot by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to frame me. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
"Framed? Haha." A gloomy voice sounded.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao came to the front of the palace at some point and looked at Chu Ze coldly.
"Father, I, your son, have the guts to defend General Chu Ze!"
As Zhu Biao spoke, he walked straight to the throne and knelt down.
"What is the prince doing? Get up quickly!" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.
Zhu Biao insisted on kneeling, and said with a look of grief and indignation: "Father, I know I was wrong. I did listen to slander and wrongly accused General Chu."
"But now I have come to my senses! It was those treacherous officials who deceived me and made me frame the loyal officials."
"In fact, General Chu is a pillar of the country, not a traitor! I am willing to testify for him!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
"What's wrong with you, Your Highness?" "Did you feel guilty?" "Didn't you swear to kill Chu Ze before?"
All the officials were talking about it and looking at Zhu Biao with complicated eyes.
Chu Ze was also stunned and speechless for a moment.
"Son, what are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said after a while:
"Is there any hidden story behind this?"
"Your Majesty, there is indeed a secret that I have not yet revealed." Zhu Biao said solemnly.
"Some time ago, I did send people to steal the secrets of General Chu's mansion in an attempt to frame him. But a few days later, those people suddenly disappeared."
"I searched everywhere and found out that they had joined forces with Muhammad and became his accomplices in the rebellion!"
"Isn't this Muhammad the one who led people to intercept General Chu on the way to Beijing this time?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"That's the man!" Zhu Biao slapped his thigh, "Father, think about it, if he didn't have ulterior motives, why would he come to assassinate General Chu for no reason?"
"Moreover, I saw with my own eyes that they were using the latest firearms. Such advanced weapons, how could ordinary bandits have them?"
"It's obvious that someone in the court is backing them up, trying to shake the foundation of our Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Biao's words were powerful and powerful. All the officials looked at each other in bewilderment and whispered to each other.
Zhu Yuanzhang also fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he sighed quietly and said, "I have been working here for decades, but I never thought that such a disaster would happen." (End of this chapter)
