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

Bai Zhi was a little shocked, she remembered those erotic dreams again, it was really terrible!

But she could probably deduce that maybe he taught her how to make this gun, and that was why she kept dreaming of him when she couldn't make it.

She thought that she couldn't tell the truth. This man had absolute power in the Mei family. It would be very dangerous if he knew that she had built the first real gun.

So she shook her head, "Not yet, I can only make bamboo tube firecrackers."

Another dishonest rejection. She was not easily scared, so Meng Ying could only choose to calm down and make plans.

So he let go, still smiling, "It's indeed quite difficult. Bamboo firecrackers are enough."

The two of them were silent for the rest of the way. If Meng Jing hadn't been holding A Gu and asking questions from time to time, I'm afraid the atmosphere would have been much more awkward.

The carriage bumped for a long time and finally arrived at the Spring Bird Palace. Spring Bird Palace was originally just a temporary palace. It was built again by Taizu Chen when the Chen Kingdom was first established. It now has a history of nearly a hundred years.

After the Chen Kingdom split, Emperor Jingde was moved here to use it as the palace hall to handle affairs. But all the affairs were handled by Mei Boyang and could not reach the paralyzed Emperor Jingde at all.

Fortunately, Meng Ying came back, and the empty court was restored again.

When a few people arrived, it was already afternoon, and it got dark early in Shangbei City. The Spring Bird Palace had already prepared a dinner party, waiting to welcome the last guests.

Zhuo Yao and the others were the last ones to arrive. The reason was that they were the only ones Meng Ying allowed to lead troops.

The city defense of Shangbei City was less than 10,000 people, but Zhuo Yao and the others brought 10,000 troops and horses, and prepared all the materials, food and winter clothing along the way, which is enough to show Meng Ying's sincerity.

The Ronghua Hall of Spring Bird Palace is the place for this night banquet.

As soon as they arrived at the Ronghua Hall, a nun wanted to take the child from Bai Zhi's hand. Bai Zhi suddenly wrapped the child in her arms, as if someone was trying to snatch the child away from her.

Her vigilance was not without reason. Ever since Mei Shaohong escaped, she had often thought of the night she gave birth. The feeling of Mei Shaohong holding the knife against her neck was really chilling.

She was afraid that Mei Shaohong would come out of nowhere, suddenly snatch her child away, and threaten her in a mean way.

Therefore, she was unwilling to give her child to others, in this unfamiliar place, in Mei Shaohong's hometown.

Even Zhuo Yao was worried. He could recall Mei Shaohong's face. He didn't seem to agree with Bai Zhi's second marriage. So he carried the child over, but his eyes were avoiding Bai Zhi and Meng Ying the whole time.

Meng Ying still noticed the eye contact between the two of them very keenly, and asked with a smile, "Can't you trust Sa Lan?"

"No." Zhuo Yao immediately denied it.

Bai Zhi also echoed, "It's Agu who is afraid of strangers, I'm afraid of her making trouble."

Slowly walking into the hall, Bai Zhi quickly scanned around and didn't see Mei Shaohong. She should have breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Zhi was not at ease at all. Maybe she felt better after seeing Mei Shaohong.

She stopped walking. Meng Ying was supported by Shuangyun. He saw her nervous expression and asked, "Who is Miss Bai looking at?"

Bai Zhi summoned up the courage to ask, "May I ask, is Young Master Mei here?"

"Have you ever dealt with your uncle?"

"Well, he once visited Denning City." Bai Zhi did not tell the truth. When Mei Shaohong was imprisoned, everyone kept it a secret for fear of revenge from the Mei family. Now she heard Meng Ying calling him uncle, and she thought that the relationship between the two was not bad, so she chose to keep it a secret.

"He went to Danning. My uncle was naughty by nature and didn't come back for more than a year. My grandfather often had a headache because of this." Meng Ying just answered truthfully, but she began to think more in her heart.

To be honest, Mei Shaohong's whereabouts are often unpredictable, and there is no clue what he will do. Hearing that he has been to Danning City, Meng Ying feels nervous and hopes that he will not do anything random.

He immediately turned around and arranged for Shuangyun to explore Mei Shaohong's whereabouts.

After the arrangements were made, Bai Zhi and the others were invited into the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Bai Zhi felt all kinds of burning eyes, a mixture of good and bad, and she couldn't even tell who they were targeting, whether they were kind or malicious.

Meng Ying walked in front, supported by Shuangyun, wanting to take a seat quickly.

Bai Zhi and others, according to etiquette, walked behind the old man, walking side by side with Zhuo Yao and others.

Someone walked up and sneered.

Bai Zhi pretended to be calm and faced the person approaching. He was so tall, so broad, and wearing fur clothes, which made this person look even more burly. A string of animal skulls hangs from the waist as decoration. The eyes are a little blue, but not as blue as Queen Millie's, but a little gray, and even a little purple when viewed under different lights.

This feeling of oppression coming towards my face made people shudder.

Bai Zhi guessed the identity of this person, Mei Gong's eldest son, Mei Boyang.

He cast a contemptuous look at Zhuo Yao, glanced at Zhuo Ling and Bai Zhi, and his eyes fell on Feng Tianxiang. With a roar, he turned to Meng Jing who was about to take a seat at the end and smiled brightly, "Come on, Jing." Son, give me a hug!"

His gaze was indeed provocative, an offense that even Bai Zhi could feel. Zhuo Yao immediately became angry and turned his head, "Isn't General Boyang welcome?"

Mei Boyang sneered, "How could it be? The visitor is a guest. Even if I think Zhuo Yunjun falls asleep in the middle of the night, he might have nightmares."

When Zhuo Ling heard him mention their father, her face was full of displeasure, "General Boyang, what do you mean?"

"You two siblings, one of you dares to marry your brother's widow, and the other dares to marry a barbarian who has been your enemy for generations. Tell me, which father can sleep peacefully in such a situation!"

These words hit the mark with precision and offended four people at once.

Bai Zhi thinks she is a tolerant person, but these words are really unbearable.

Feng Tianxiang was the most hurt. He thought that he would be subject to all kinds of prejudice, but he couldn't bear this naked provocation.

Several people had their weapons withdrawn, but their arrogance was ignited. Zhuo Yao swung his fist with a domineering wind, and his clothes ruffled the sound of wind.

Bai Zhi hurriedly protected Meng Jing, who was running over, from behind. Before she could say anything, she saw them fighting.

Uh... do you want to stop?

She actually wanted to vent her anger, and along with Mei Shaohong's hatred, she had to vent her anger.

She glanced at Zhuo Ling and Feng Tianxiang, and she could see that their hands were itchy. If they hadn't been defeated by three in a fight, they would have already charged forward.

Fortunately, the main hall is spacious enough for them to work around.

Before Meng Ying even sat down, she heard the sound of them fighting and sighed. It seemed that imperial power meant nothing to them.

No one cared about Emperor Jingde and the Queen sitting in the center of the palace.

Be it Zhuo Yao or Mei Boyang, after being the leader of a warlord for so many years, he is no longer a person who respects imperial power.

Reviving the royal prestige is a difficult task, and it is out of the question until the military power is restored.

Meng Ying suddenly smiled, and she smiled very officially, "Hehehehe, General Boyang, General Black Tiger came all the way, and they were exhausted all the way. Now they are competing in martial arts, even if they win, they will still be defeated by force."

Only then did Mei Boyang tentatively stop his hand, "Ha! That's right, but it's my eldest nephew. You should know that my uncle's hands are itchy when he sees the Nanmanzi, not to mention that this young boy moved his hands first."

Zhuo Yao didn't relax a bit, "General Boyang's venomous tongue doesn't sound like he's entertaining guests! Instead, he wants to drive us away?"

Meng Ying sighed invisibly, and said with a smile, "Okay! Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is not the second, you are all my strong generals in Dachen, and it is human nature to want to compete with each other. It is better to choose the day than to hit the sun. Is it possible to set up a stage for you all tomorrow so that distinguished guests from afar can see the demeanor of our General Dachen?"

Hearing this, the two men relieved themselves and responded, "Okay! Tomorrow is tomorrow!"

In this way, Bai Zhi and the others took their seats.

As soon as she took her seat, Bai Zhi felt a hot gaze coming towards her.

Bai Zhi looked around and saw a man with thin cheeks and clear outlines. He had a jade crown on his head. He didn't have an outstanding appearance, but he wasn't mediocre either.

He just looked at himself like this, staring intently, his eyes were red, and his cheeks were moving repeatedly, as if he was suppressing what he wanted to say.

A pair of lingering and sad eyes.

Bai Zhi felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and quickly grabbed Zhuo Yao's wrist.
