The wind in the north is painful to the bones.

When Zhuo Yao first arrived here, he had no feeling at all in his hands and feet, and his knuckles were covered in frostbite, red, swollen, and very itchy. The jacket and frostbite cream prepared by Zhuo Ling had no effect at all.

He could bear the pain, but when itched, it was almost life-threatening!

Mei Gong is old and his body is still strong, but he knows that this boy from Zhennan King has been in the north for more than a month, but he has been delaying seeing Zhuo Yao.

Zhuo Yao has long been aware of these methods, which clearly shows that he looks down on him!

But he is not angry either. Such temptations often occur in the army. His father also told him that those who cannot control their anger can only be regarded as reckless men!

It just so happened that today, Mei Gong's eldest son, Mei Boyang, came back from Beiyuan for peace talks. Mei Gong's family and various adopted sons returned home together and held a big banquet.

Zhuo Yao wanted to take this opportunity to go in and see their reactions, so he took away the large plate of mutton from the servant who had delivered the meat, leaving the servant stunned.

Zhuo Yao carried the meat plate and went straight to the seat of the white-haired Meigong. Mei Gong was reclining on the bearskin chair and taking a nap. Zhuo Yao squinted his eyes and realized that the rumored Mei Gong who pacified the northern border was not that great. He put down the meat plate and slapped Mei Gong with one palm.

Mei Gong didn't move at all. Just when Zhuo Yao thought he was about to succeed, a wine glass flew over from the side. Zhuo Yao had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed the flying glass. The glass could not withstand the competition between the two forces and instantly turned into powder.

"Who am I supposed to be! A young boy from the south! Ha!"

The speaker was none other than his eldest son, Mei Boyang. Zhuo Yao heard this and went over. This man's hair was partially tied up and the amount of fluffy hair looked amazing. Wearing a fur cloak, he looked as broad as a black bear. A pair of eyes that scorned Zhuo Yao with mockery, like the gaze of an eagle.

The momentum is so terrifying that if a little girl saw it, she would be scared to tears. Zhuo Yao inexplicably remembered that before leaving, Zhuo Ling and Bai Zhi had said to each other that Mei Boyang was so handsome!

Zhuo Yao was not afraid of him. He hugged his fists towards Mei Gong and Mei Boyang, "Zhennan Prince Zhuo Yao has met Mei Gong."

Mei Boyang asked the brothers to sit down and directly ignored Zhuo Yao, which made Zhuo Yao unable to stand on the table. Zhuo Yao still could not withstand this blatant provocation, and his temper exploded instantly, "This is you rude and barbaric people from the north." How to treat guests?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent for an instant.

In an instant, everyone cast inquisitive glances at Zhuo Yao that could not be ignored.

Zhuo Yao looked around, ha! These people seemed eager to eat him alive!

Mei Gong lay back on the chair and opened one eye slightly. Seeing the arrogant look of this young boy, he wanted to laugh in his heart, but he held it back. When Zhuo Yao turned around, he quickly closed his eyes. , continue to pretend to sleep.

"Hey! Little Zaizhong, don't you think you will be welcomed by us when you come here?" Mei Gong's adopted son was the first to speak.

"Hahahaha! Hospitality? Zizong, you really know how to promote yourself!"

"The Zhuo family's dog dares to come and make noise!"

……

The curses from these people were getting worse and worse, and Zhuo Yao kept telling himself to calm down! Calm down! If he can't keep his anger, he is a reckless man!

But if he can remain calm in this situation, he is not a man!

Zhuo Yao chuckled lightly, and spoke with all his sarcasm, "Ha! You rats who only dare to hide in the north dare to call me a bastard? Think about it with your rat-headed pig brains! Meng Ying tried her best to Why on earth did you ask me to come here? Isn’t it because you don’t even have a blade of grass growing? You can’t feed people or animals, so you can only nod and bow down and beg for cooperation! If you don’t have such sincerity, then forget it and don’t even look at it. Whoever asks for help!"

Zhuo Yao's words hit the mark. There are indeed many powerful soldiers in the north, but the geographical location is too harsh, making it difficult to develop and grow.

Mei Gong opened one eye again, took a peek at Zhuo Yao, and then continued to pretend to be asleep.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense for a moment. Mei Boyang waved to everyone, motioning for them to sit down, and then ordered, "Someone, bring a small table for Prince Zhuo."

After a while, the desk was moved in. The desk was not wide enough, and it was really cramped for Zhuo Yao.

Mei Boyang's behavior was respected but not completely respected. Zhuo Yao held his head high and refused to sit down.

Mei Gongxu stared at everything that happened in the room and winked at Mei Boyang. Mei Boyang finally stopped teasing Zhuo Yao and made room for Zhuo Yaozheng. Zhuo Yao then sat down with satisfaction.

However, Zhuo Yao's verbal battle with them did not stop. As soon as he sat down, someone made an extremely dangerous statement, "Is that boy Meng Xingyuan still strong? Isn't he afraid that his heart has been hollowed out and only a little bit of human skin is left?" !”

Zhuo Yao knew that the people here were fierce, but he never thought they were so fierce. His face hardened, "You are so brave to call the Emperor by his name! Those who despise Tianwei will be beheaded!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole crowd burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Big brother, father, his Zhuo family told me that they despise Tianwei! It really made me laugh to death!"

"Hey! Boy, you Zhuo family actually still have the emperor in your heart? I don't believe it!"

Indeed, the majesty of the Heavenly Family has long since disappeared.

After being laughed at, Mei Boyang finally spoke, "Zi Zhong! Do you know why you are so ridiculed?"

Zhuo Yao could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He snorted coldly, "It's just a cover-up for the weak."

"Ha! Didn't my nephew tell you who our Mei family is?" Mei Boyang said solemnly.

Zhuo Yao looked disdainful.

Mei Boyang's eyes became dim and unclear, and his voice became a little hoarse, "I have a sister, and she died at the hands of your Zhuo family."

Zhuo Yao's heart trembled when he heard this, "Mei Fei?" He couldn't answer this and could only remain silent.

Mei Boyang's eyes deepened again and he continued, "We, the Mei family, will never let our own family be humiliated!"

Mei Gong's second son continued Mei Boyang's words and added, "Although Queen Zhuo is dead, we have recorded the revenge of your Zhuo family! We will not give up until we avenge this revenge!"

Zhuo Yao couldn't deny the feud between the two families, so he fell silent again, and the atmosphere became heavy again.

Suddenly, Mr. Mei, who was sitting in his seat, started to cough. He slowly sat up straight and said with a smile, "The younger generation of the Zhuo family is here! Come on, come on, don't be cautious, eat wine! Drink meat!"

Zhuo Yao didn't know what to say for a moment. Mr. Mei can be regarded as the great hero who pacified the Northern Territory, and even his father has to pay some respect to him.

Mei Gong continued, "You and your grandfather are quite similar!"

Zhuo Yao was a little caught off guard when this suddenly became a commonplace conversation, so he said angrily: "Zhuo Yao has no impression of grandpa!"

"Hahaha! It doesn't matter, your grandpa is a true hero! Unlike your father, who is a coward!"

Zhuo Yao: "..."

It's so sharp and harsh, but Zhuo Yao can't refute it!

"For a woman, for a worthless promise, a man disregards the moral principles of the world. What is he but a coward?" Mei Gong criticized Zhuo Yao's father with a smile.

"But you, a junior, are quite interesting. Since you have come to my northern territory, you should know what your move means?"

Zhuo Yao gritted his teeth and said seriously, "Zhuo Yao understands, Zhuo Yao betrayed the Zhuo family!"

"Oh? Aren't you afraid? You will be the sinner of the Zhuo family!"

"Don't be afraid! In this world of righteousness and ancestral temples, which one is more important? Zhuo Yao has a choice in his heart that he thinks is right! But there is a bottom line that I cannot touch. I hope Mei Gong understands it!"

"tell me the story!"

"No one in our Zhennan Palace can die!"

When Mei Gong heard this, he felt inexplicably happy, and then he loudly agreed, "Okay!"

Then he turned around and reprimanded the many children, grandchildren and adopted sons, "You, you! You are attacking a junior! What kind of man are you! When A Xue died, this boy was still a child, not to mention Empress Zhuo, a pitiful It’s just a woman! Let’s do it, kid! Although the hatred is not your fault, we can’t greet a member of the Zhuo family with a smile, otherwise my daughter will not have peace of mind under the Nine Springs. We have customs in the north. If we want to disappear To grudge, you have to drink chicken blood wine, if you are willing..."

"I do! Zhuo Yao understands Mr. Mei's love for his daughter!" Before Mr. Mei finished speaking, Zhuo Yao yelled out.

He is here to do things, not to be angry and pretentious.

After a while, eighteen bowls of chicken blood mixed with wine were brought to the table. The chicken blood was even warm, which made Zhuo Yao gag.

Zhuo Yao held his breath and drank one bowl after another, drinking eighteen bowls in a row.

After eighteen bowls of chicken blood and wine, Mei Gong finally praised Zhuo Yao.

The softening of Mei Gong's attitude made everyone's attitude toward Zhuo Yao also soften.

Zhuo Yao felt clear in his heart that what happened tonight was all a temptation and warning to him, and it was all a show.

Ice and snow are hard to melt, feuds are hard to dissolve, and the knot in his father's heart is even harder to resolve.

Although the road was difficult, he knew that what the Zhuo family had done had shaken the foundation of the Chen Kingdom and was really intolerable.

He doesn't want to be a pawn, he wants to do the right thing.

This idea became more and more firm after he received letters from home one after another over the past year.

Everyone is looking for a way out, he can't lose!
