I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

The next day, Bai Zhi and Meng Ying set off for Jizhou.

The bumpy journey made Bai Zhi's back hurt. She wailed in the carriage all day, "How far is the journey?"

"Two days." Meng Ying sat upright with her eyes open.

"You've been sitting all day and you're still injured. Why don't you take a break? Can you handle it?" Bai Zhi was a little unhappy.

"It's okay. When we get to the valley ahead, someone will probably rob and kill us. Once we clean up, I can rest." Meng Ying said calmly.

When Bai Zhi heard this, her expression froze. From morning to now, he had been tense and vigilant. How could he speak so lightly!

Seeing Bai Zhi's confused and disbelieving expression, Meng Ying smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, Princess, Sa Lan will give you a squeeze."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at him, "How can I let you, a prince, serve me! People are going to assassinate you, and you are still laughing here!"

"It doesn't matter, I have arrangements. If there is any noise, just stay by my side." Meng Ying said, naturally moving to Bai Zhi's side, reaching out and pinching Bai Zhi's shoulders and neck.

The sore muscles made Bai Zhi tremble, and she couldn't help but sigh.

Meng Ying's heart skipped a beat with her daughter's unique soft cry. Bai Zhi slumped on his lap like a cat, twisting her body slightly.

She enjoyed Meng Ying's massage service and asked vaguely, "Do you look like a prince? Are everyone like you? Or is it just you?"

"Only for you." He replied calmly, like a simple conversation between an ordinary couple, it couldn't be more natural.

"Why? Hmm~" The sour and refreshing feeling on Bai Zhi's shoulders and neck made her head upward and tighten her body.

"There is no reason, just go with the flow. Some people make you relax, and some people make you irritable. This is the inherent difference between everyone." Meng Ying's steady and friendly voice came, making Bai Zhi want to sleep.

She squinted her eyes comfortably and asked vaguely, "How will Sister Ling make you feel?"

Meng Ying hummed as she thought about it, without stopping the movement of her hands, "It will feel stressful. I have to walk in front of her and guide her, otherwise she will panic."

"What about Zhuo Yao?"

"It will be very nervous. He wants to beat me all the time."

Bai Zhi laughed out loud, and she thought of another person, "What about... Xiao Yang?"

Meng Ying's hand paused, then pressed it again, "Xiao Yang, he is a person who can't live unless you tell him how to live."

Bai Zhi frowned slightly, "What should we do? He is so desperate!"

"But there is a good thing about Xiao Yang. Whenever he is given a goal, even if it is ridiculous, he will follow it and try his best."

Bai Zhi thought for a while and then said, "So his life is in the hands of others. If he meets a good person, he may live a good life. If he meets someone with ulterior motives, he may take another path, right?"

"Yes."

Bai Zhi was worried about Xiao Yang's safety. She knew that Xiao Yang's life was safe, but she was still afraid that he would suffer. She didn't dare to tell Meng Ying to save him. She knew that the Zhuo family's forces were all around Jianchao Valley. If they sent secret guards, many people would have to sacrifice, just like Shi Qi and the others.

Meng Ying saw through her silence and said, "You don't have to worry about Xiao Yang, Feng Yue is a bit of a crazy kid, and his actions cannot be speculated with normal people's thoughts."

Meng Ying's words still dispelled Bai Zhi's worries, and Bai Zhi always felt that he must have his own considerations. She didn't know as much as Meng Ying, so she couldn't use her own thoughts to speculate on his behavior.

Just as she was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly made a clanging noise and the horse neighed, making Bai Zhi's mind go blank.

When she came to her senses, Bai Zhi was firmly in Meng Ying's arms, pulling at him like an octopus.

Meng Ying's eyes suddenly became sharp, and her face was calm, without any panic.

Meng Ying was really right!

"Your Majesty, here we come!" a guard shouted outside.

Meng Ying took Bai Zhi's hand and said in a deep voice: "Let's go down and hide for a while."

Bai Zhi staggered out and followed her. Arrows passed by her, but they were all blocked by the guards.

Bai Zhi's legs only moved. If it weren't for Meng Ying's support, she would have collapsed on the ground.

An arrow with a dark luster struck at the back of Bai Zhi's head, and Bai Zhi didn't even know it.

When Meng Ying heard the sound of wind breaking through the air, she pulled Bai Zhi fiercely and protected her in front of her. With quick eyesight and quick hands, she grabbed the arrow with her backhand.

The arrow stopped in Meng Ying's chest. A slight anger appeared on his face, and he shouted, "Stand tight!"

After that, he held Bai Zhi in his arms and came to a cliff surrounded by guards.

Without saying a word, Meng Ying hugged Bai Zhi and wanted to jump down.

Bai Zhi was shocked, what kind of operation is this! Even if you can't beat him, you can't jump down and commit suicide! In panic, she hugged Meng Ying tightly and screamed.

But screaming was useless. With a whoosh, Meng Ying hugged her and jumped down.

As a result, the bloody scene was not seen, and Meng Ying still landed firmly on the ground. Bai Zhi moved her face away from Meng Ying's chest with a cry, and looked around. There was a protruding ridge on the edge of the cliff. There was a piece of the cliff wall. The ground is sunken, like a cave that is not deep. It is quite spacious and not dangerous.

Bai Zhi gave Meng Ying a hard hammer, and angrily threw her hand away, angrily saying, "Scared me to death!"

Meng Ying smiled happily at her, "Strangle me to death!"

Bai Zhi glared at him fiercely.

Meng Ying walked in, and Bai Zhi followed closely. As a result, there was a crack on the ground, and Bai Zhi stepped into it and fell hard, making an ouch.

Meng Ying chuckled, then walked over and helped her up, "Does it hurt?"

"You're still laughing! That's too much!" Bai Zhi was extremely angry.

Meng Ying picked up Bai Zhi and held her aside, sitting down. "Sa Lan has also fallen in this place before."

"Then why don't you remind me!"

"Salan forgot. This pit is too small. Once you step over it, you will forget it..." Then he seemed to fall into memories.

Bai Zhi's heart suddenly sank, and she swallowed the words in her throat, "Have you been assassinated in this place before?"

Meng Ying nodded, with a calm face and a smile, "More than once."

"When?"

"Twelve years ago, my mother-in-law was killed and I escaped from Chenjing..."

Bai Zhi was silent, and he didn't know what to say to comfort Meng Ying.

Before his buttocks were still hot, a guard came down and reported to Meng Ying, "Master, it's all cleaned up. Only ten people were slightly injured."

Meng Ying waved to him and said, "Ask."

After the guards left, Bai Zhi asked curiously, "Has the prince made any arrangements?"

"Of course! I can't let him kill me twice!"

Bai Zhi held Meng Ying's hand with some distress, "I don't think you are as powerful as I thought!"

When Meng Ying heard this, she raised her eyebrows in confusion, with a funny look on her face, "Salan thought the princess would praise me."

Bai Zhi pulled out a piece of grass from the ground, twisted it in her hands and played with it, saying somewhat uncomfortably, "There is no perfect plan, there is no omniscience and omnipotence, they are just pitfalls that have been stepped on over and over again!"

Meng Ying chuckled, "That's right."

Bai Zhi suddenly hugged Meng Ying and patted Meng Ying's back, "Don't be afraid, it will pass."

Meng Ying was puzzled, "Sa Lan is not afraid. Hasn't this been solved?"

Bai Zhi raised her head slightly, her eyes were clear and filled with endless tenderness. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "I'm hugging you from twelve years ago. At that time, you must not have known how to cross the pit in front of you, right?"

Meng Ying's smile froze on her face. Yes, the same person who stumbled and fled in panic twelve years ago could now easily cross the pits on the ground and deal with the assassins without hurting anyone.

He reached out and stroked Bai Zhi's hair, and gently kissed her forehead.

"It's in the past."
