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

Danning City welcomed an uninvited guest, Nanchen's Prime Minister Wei Liang.

Wei Liang held 20,000 troops and was stationed on the south bank of the Gonghe River. He took the lead and came to Danning, unable to afford war, and used negotiation to control Zhuo Yao's new wife.

He submitted the invitation early and was waiting for Danning City Lord Bai Xue in the county government meeting hall, but she didn't come for a long time.

Wei Liang waited impatiently, but a female bandit had such a big air!

Bai Zhi didn't mean to be negligent. Zhou Li happened to be out busy, and she was about to give birth. She had water in her lower body in the morning. She thought it was because the amniotic fluid had broken. But it turned out to be a false alarm. After she felt better, she went out to entertain guests.

When she appeared in the council hall with a big belly, Wei Liang turned around impatiently, but the moment he saw her face clearly, all the sharp words he had prepared were wiped out in an instant.

"Princess Princess?" Wei Liang was a little dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that she would appear in front of him in this way.

Bai Zhi was stunned by this title. She thought it was an old acquaintance of Prince Ning. After thinking about it, she regained her composure and said, "Prime Minister Wei recognized the wrong person."

The maid helped Bai Zhi and sat down on her special soft chair. She moved her heavy body and found a reclining position to feel more comfortable.

Although Bai Zhi is calm on the face, she is panicking. She is now facing childbirth and Zhuo Yao has not returned. If she offends Prime Minister Wei by saying something bad, he might start an army.

So she wanted to use delaying methods to stabilize Wei Liang. Only when the child was born would she be able to direct the defense battle.

She was extremely humble to Wei Liang, "Prime Minister Wei, please forgive me for my inconvenience and for neglecting Prime Minister Wei."

Wei Liang had been looking at her intently for a long time. He wanted to see through her with his eyes to see if she was that person.

For a long time, even though Wei Liang had basically confirmed that she was Bai Zhi, he couldn't help but ask again, "Is the princess pretending not to know? Or has she forgotten all about her past?"

Bai Zhi frowned slightly. You can't hide from acquaintances. Prince Ning is the number one enemy of Nanchen people. She didn't want to be angered for this reason, so she denied it, "It seems that I look like an old acquaintance of Prime Minister Wei, but Prime Minister Wei You are here today not to reminisce about old times, right?"

Only then did Wei Liang realize his gaffe. He already knew the truth, but he still wanted to deny something.

Otherwise, how could he have the face to face her?

Wei Liang seemed to be discouraged and sat back in his chair. He did not dare to face Bai Zhi and communicate with her. He only lowered his head slightly and said, "Uh... um... I have something serious to talk about."

"Then please speak frankly, Prime Minister Wei." Bai Zhi was a little tired. The baby in her belly had been struggling all morning, and she was still aching slightly.

Wei Liang couldn't say anything. He drank tea by himself, sip after sip. The tea was all drained. He was still holding the cup. In the end, he couldn't handle it anymore, so he had to say, "Your Majesty, City Lord, Wei Liang has been waiting all morning." , I’m a little hungry now, why not chat while eating?”

Although Bai Zhi was puzzled, she agreed. The advantage of chatting while eating was to ease the atmosphere. As long as there was no tension, many things could be discussed calmly.

She had already had lunch prepared. It was neither particularly rich nor shabby.

There were only two people at the dinner table. Wei Liang picked up his chopsticks and didn't know which dish to pick.

Bai Zhi's mouth was drooling. Different from the first trimester, now she felt that she could eat an elephant, but when Wei Liang didn't move, she was too embarrassed to do it.

"I'm sorry, Prime Minister Wei, today's lunch was prepared in a hurry and it's not to your liking. What do you want to eat? I'll tell the kitchen to make it." Bai Zhi said politely.

"No... no need, it's not unpalatable, it's just that Wei Liang has something in his conscience and is depressed." Wei Liang put down his chopsticks and faced her. He really couldn't pretend that nothing was wrong.

Bai Zhi swallowed her saliva. She really wanted to take a bite. The sour vegetables, the noodles, and a bowl of chicken soup with chopped green onions. She was so greedy that she was distracted for a moment.

Wei Liang saw her staring directly at the two plates of dishes and moved them in front of her.

Bai Zhi was surprised, this person is quite nice!

But then she realized her gaffe and hurriedly said to Wei Liang, "Isn't Prime Minister Wei hungry? Eat first, and then we can talk about business."

The main reason is that I don’t have enough food and I don’t have the heart to play tricks on him!

Wei Liang smiled lightly, thinking that she would be embarrassed if he didn't eat, so he started using his chopsticks.

Bai Zhi was not polite at all, and started eating it. Every bite looked delicious.

Wei Liang's appetite gradually aroused, and he felt that today's dishes unexpectedly suited his appetite.

Suddenly he remembered the days in Chenjing, the delicacies of mountains and seas, which were clearly foods that he longed for but could not reach in the past, but he often felt tired of them.

There are beautiful wives and concubines in the family, and they all treat him with respect. He and the Zhuo family's daughters also treat each other with respect, but as time goes by, they always feel that something is missing.

There are even dozens of good horses at home, many of which were given to him by others who collected the best horses from all over the world. They are infinitely better than his original Wei Xiaoyao, but when it comes to horse racing, he has long lost the energy to win.

When he was in exile, these were all he wanted. After getting them, everything became boring.

He couldn't even tell his own position. Meng Yu was indeed changing, but under the shadow of Zhuo Dang, he still couldn't see hope.

He often felt empty.

At this time, he was puzzled to see Bai Zhi eating so deliciously.

He couldn't help but ask, "Is this steamed bun so delicious?"

"Steamed buns can be used with everything. They are a bit bland when eaten alone, but when used with different dishes, they have different tastes."

"Oh~" Wei Liang remembered that she had won the King of Kitchen Competition with steamed buns. Later, mills were built in many places, and exquisite wheat noodles became popular, which greatly increased the wheat output of Chen State.

At that time, Wei Liang was also proud, and he was appreciated by King Ning for this. From then on, he never lived a hard life again.

"Lord City Lord, there are some things that have been confusing Wei Liang. I would like to ask Lord City Lord to help me clear up my confusion."

The steamed buns in Bai Zhi's mouth no longer taste good. Is he going to start playing tricks?

Fear! At least let her finish the meal!

However, Bai Zhi still smiled modestly on her face, "Prime Minister Wei, please tell me, I'm just short-sighted, so I may not be able to help you."

Wei Liang raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Wei Liang has a friend."

Bai Zhi nodded, "Yeah."

"He had a very hard life as a child, wandering around and living in precarious situations. His biggest wish was to live a good life, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and have countless beauties. He wanted to become a master who could control his own destiny..."

At this point, Wei Liang paused.

Bai Zhi was afraid that she wouldn't be able to defeat him, so she listened carefully, "It's a normal wish, what next?"

"Later he met a noble man, who helped him and made him prosperous. He lived the life he wanted. He had beauties, delicious food, and good horses."

"Then what?" Bai Zhi asked again.

"Later something happened to his nobleman, he...he..."

"How is he?" Bai Zhi heard anxiously.

"He was forced by the situation and chose to protect himself, but he felt that he was right. He could not die with his nobleman. He just wanted to live well."

Bai Zhi nodded, "That's right. You said he was forced by circumstances."

"I thought you would say that he doesn't care about friendship." Wei Liang smiled bitterly.

"Love and justice are valuable, but forcing him to die for this love is kidnapping."

Wei Liang raised his eyes and stared at her for a long time, his eyes burning, "If the city lord is that noble man, will he forgive my friend?"

Bai Zhi thought for a moment and responded with a smile, "It's hard to say. If your friend not only did not lend a helping hand when the noble was in trouble, but also chose to add insult to injury, then I will definitely not forgive him."

This answer made Wei Liang feel a chill in his heart. The food he had just put into his mouth felt a little bitter.
