After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

On the third day when Mingjia was painting, Huo Zelin hurried to Zhuangzi to meet Mingjia.

Ming Jia dismissed all the guards and servants, talked with Huo Zelin alone for a while, and then took Huo Zelin to see Yang Tingxuan.

Mingjia didn't know the content of the conversation between Yang Tingxuan and Huo Zelin, because Mingjia only introduced the two of them.

Mingjia never paid attention to the subsequent development, and never met Huo Zelin again. Mingjia even rarely went to Da Liu's caravan stronghold.

If given the choice, Huo Zelin would never want to see Xiao Mingjia again in his life.

But the problem is that he has no choice. Huo Zelin knows that Xiao Mingjia wants to see him for something, so he must be able to see him.

When Huo Zelin followed Da Liu here, he thought about countless conjectures in his mind, but in the end he still couldn't guess the reason.

Da Liu only took the people to the entrance of the hall and left. Huo Zelin became inexplicably nervous outside the hall.

Huo Zelin took several deep breaths to calm down his thoughts, and finally walked into the hall.

Mingjun was drinking tea with his head down when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door and turned his head to see Huo Zelin.

Mingjun didn't know Huo Zelin, but looking at the other person's age and clothes, he immediately guessed who it was.

As soon as Huo Zelin entered the hall, he quickly scanned the people in the hall with his eyes without leaving any trace.

"Guard? Not here!"

"Counter? Not here!"

"Who is this young man? He looks somewhat similar to Xiao Mingjia!"

Huo Zelin's eyes only glanced at Mingjun. It seemed that he just moved his eyes briefly, but he took note of Mingjun's outfit from head to toe.

"The clothes are made of the best materials. They are rare products in Dianzhou. They cost at least dozens of taels of silver!"

"The jade pendant around my waist looks really good. I don't know how I feel about it."

Huo Zelin walked to the seat opposite Ming Jia while mentally estimating Mingjun's identity and net worth.

Huo Zelin stood in front of the seat he wanted to sit before he said hello to Ming Jia.

"Long time no see, Master Mingjia!"

"I wonder why Master Mingjia called Huo to come here today?"

Ming Jia rarely wanted to say goodbye to Huo Zelin, so she cooperated very well and asked Huo Zelin to take a seat.

Mingjun sat aside and watched silently. Seeing the interaction between Huo Zelin and Mingjia, Mingjun felt that he needed to understand the rift between the two.

"It was not my intention to invite Mr. Huo here today, but my brother wanted to meet Mr. Huo!"

Ming Jia said and raised his hand to point to his brother Ming Jun who was sitting next to him.

Huo Zelin heard that Xiao Tongzhi's eldest son had been studying abroad with his master. He didn't expect that he would arrive in Dianzhou City. This man is so low-key!

"Huo Zelin has met Mr. Xiao!"

Huo Zelin stood up and saluted Mingjun, and his tone was quite respectful, but Mingjia just felt like he was being ridiculed.

"Mr. Huo, you're welcome!"

"I came here today on the orders of my master to confirm something and ask a question for him."

Mingjun's attitude was very kind, and his tone was calm and calm.

Ming Jun's back gave Huo Zelin a bad feeling. Huo Zelin suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Mingjia with sharp eyes.

"I wonder if what Mr. Xiao said is related to Huo?"

Huo Zelin's words were meant for Ming Jun, but his eyes never left Ming Jia's face, as if he wanted to see some expression on Ming Jia's face.

Mingjun couldn't help but frown. This was the first time Mingjun was dissatisfied with Huo Zelin. He didn't like Huo Zelin's attitude towards his sister.

Mingjun patted Mingjia's back gently and said in a doting tone.

"Jiajia, go play outside for a while first!"

"Brother will finish chatting with Mr. Huo later and will take you shopping!"

Mingjia looked at his brother, then looked sideways at Huo Zelin.

"Okay! Brother, please finish the conversation quickly!"

Mingjia stood up and walked out. When she was leaving, she deliberately slowed down and looked back at Huo Zelin.

"Good luck!"

When Mingjun saw Huo Zelin still staring at Mingjia's back, Mingjun's eyes flashed and he raised his hand to gently pick up the tea cup.

"Mr. Huo, aren't you curious about who your master is?"

Mingjun stirred the tea leaves with the cup lid, raised his eyes and said to Huo Zelin with a smile.

Huo Zelin was already sure that Xiao Mingjia had not kept the agreement with him and revealed his family's secrets.

Huo Zelin's emotions of shock and anger suddenly filled up in his chest.

After a long time, Huo Zelin finally squeezed out a few words through his teeth.

"What? The emperor of Daliang still cares about the affairs of the previous dynasty?"

Mingjun noticed Huo Zelin's emotional changes immediately and realized that his method was inappropriate.

"Mr. Huo, please don't be angry. I'm afraid you may have misunderstood this matter!"

"Jiajia wrote to ask about old things a long time ago. After making an agreement with Mr. Huo, I wrote several times to ask, but Jiajia never said another word."

"Otherwise, my master would not specifically tell me that I must come and see Mr. Huo."

"My master means no harm, I just want to ask my old friend how he is?"

The smile on Mingjun's face was gentle, and his speaking speed was a bit fast but more sincere. Mingjun's smile was very deceptive.

This is also related to Ming Jun's temperament. Legally, he is an adult at the age of sixteen, but his temperament is somewhere between a mature man and a childish boy.

Hmm~! Sunny, clean and gentle, it hides all attacks at once.

This is Mingjun's character. He immediately adjusts his strategy when he finds something wrong.

If Mingjia talks about something and discovers that the other party has a tendency to become violent, Mingjia will definitely explode in advance.

Mingjia must have resisted the pressure and suppressed the opponent's arrogance even more forcefully.

Huo Zelin listened to Mingjun's explanation with cold eyes, and took a long time before speaking again.

"Who is your master?"

Mingjun raised his hand to take off the jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Huo Zelin with both hands.

"Actually...my master also asked for my uncle!"

Huo Zelin looked down at the jade pendant in Mingjun's hand for a long time. The carvings on it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember them.

"When our family moved south, I was not very old, so I can't remember all the things at home. I don't have much memory of things outside."

Ming Jun raised his eyebrows, indicating that he didn't recognize the master's jade pendant.

"My uncle's surname is Xie. He once prayed for General Zhennan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, he had only been in the official position for a short time at that time and his official position was not high!"

Mingjun tried his best to reveal the identity of his uncle Xie Boyu, hoping to gain the other party's trust.

Huo Zelin glanced at Ming Jun with a complicated expression, then looked down at the jade pendant that Ming Jia had hung back on his waist.

"I don't understand what you're saying?"

Mingjun knew that Huo Zelin would not trust him easily, but he did not have many days left in Dianzhou, so this matter must be confirmed as soon as possible.

"I want to take the jade pendant to visit your father in person. Is it convenient?"

"Perhaps I want to meet General Zhenyuan, who was famous throughout the Zhou Dynasty! I wonder if I will have this opportunity!"

"I will go to Nanzhao with you alone, without any guards!"

Ming Jun spoke very quickly and said all his thoughts before Huo Zelin could speak.
