Meng Ying knew this thing. On that desert island, he taught her step by step how to make something that could kill people thousands of miles away.

Musket.

At this moment, the musket was pointed at Mei Shaohong.

Meng Ying didn't have time to think too much and hurriedly hugged her from behind, blocking Bai Zhi's gun with one hand.

But everything was too late.

Bai Zhi has already pulled the trigger, and all her actions are based on instinct. She wants Mei Shaohong to die. She wants to carry his head through every street and alley in Denning, and bear the most vicious curses of the people of Denning. .

She wanted to hang the head on the city wall, covered with maggots, and let birds peck at it.

Even this is not enough, it is not enough to dispel the hatred of the people in Denning!

She was using her brain, trying to think of ways to make him suffer even more.

Meng Ying hugged her from behind, holding her wrist firmly with one hand, while blocking the muzzle of the gun with her other hand.

He felt her fingers exerting force and pulled the trigger without any hesitation. He could even hear the sizzling sound.

There was a bang, not a loud sound.

After all, this gun was the first gun. It was not a sophisticated weapon with mature memory. Perhaps because Meng Ying blocked the muzzle of the gun, the gun was a little mute and much less powerful.

But it's still powerful.

In an instant, Bai Zhi was pushed back slightly by the recoil force, and the back of her head hit Meng Ying's chin.

The bullet passed through Meng Ying's palm and fell straight to the ground on the side, making two crisp sounds.

Warm blood flowed down the gun to Bai Zhi's hand holding the trigger. She looked back at Meng Ying in disbelief. It was not a look of distress at all, but a question, asking why he blocked the muzzle of the gun, asking him why Deflecting the direction of her shot.

"Let go." Her voice was not angry, only cold, as if the whole world had lost the sun and fallen into the coldness of eternal night.

Meng Ying's chin was trembling slightly because of the pain, but he didn't realize the pain yet. He used his skill to snatch away Bai Zhi's gun and hid it in his clothes, staining his chest red.

He suppressed the trembling in his voice and whispered a few words in her ear, "Zhi'er, tell me, what happened?"

"Is it useful to tell you?" She said coldly, her voice was very flat, as if there was no tone.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Meng Ying suddenly began to feel pain, her hands began to tremble, and large areas of blood dripping from her palms seeped into her clothes.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Only now did someone react. Everyone in the hall looked at Bai Zhi and Meng Ying, frowning at their unsightly behavior.

Zhuo Yao had been thinking about what Bai Zhi's words meant. He only reacted when he heard a muffled sound and hurriedly walked towards Bai Zhi. As soon as he went there, he saw the large blood stains and hurriedly separated the two of them.

He didn't know who was injured, so he hugged Bai Zhi first to see if there were any injuries on her body. After careful inspection, he realized that it was Meng Ying's blood.

The guards at the door rushed in, as well as the ministers looking around, and even Mei Shaohong, who was woken up, was at a loss.

"Ouch? What happened?"

"Why is His Highness Prince Ning injured?"

……

Meng Ying looked at Bai Zhi's emotionless eyes and understood the seriousness of the matter. He forced a smile, waved the guard who rushed in to get down, and then laughed twice, "I just picked up a firecracker in the hall. The children’s toys were not made well enough and almost caused Miss Bai to be injured!”

Everyone looked at each other in shock. How could they call this bloody flow a firecracker?

But he wanted to cover it up, and there was no need for the people below to expose it. They all agreed, "Ouch! How can this thing be given to children to play with? Is Miss Bai okay?"

Mei Shaohong understood something and rubbed his still hazy eyes, "Huh? Why are there firecrackers in this hall? Where did Miss Bai pick them up?"

Meng Ying just wanted to cover up the past and said with a smile, "Maybe the children were left behind during the Chinese New Year!"

He raised his hand and looked at the hideous wound on his hand, "This thing really shouldn't be given to children to play with. It's okay if a man hurts his hand, but it won't be good if he hurts Miss Bai's hand. Miss Bai will suffer." I’m frightened, tell the imperial doctor to Miss Bai quickly!”

He tried hard to change the subject. He had a very strong bad premonition and felt that something was out of control because he had never seen Bai Zhi like this before.

He glanced at Zhuo Yao, who nodded to him, hugged Bai Zhi and wanted to walk out.

Bai Zhi turned around, avoided Zhuo Yao's embrace, and then knelt on the ground.

Want to go private?

It's impossible!

She knew how these big shots behaved, and she even felt that he could see through Meng Ying's heart and predict his decisions!

During the three-day alliance, he contributed money where money was due and strength was needed. No matter how bad he was, he was still a lord of a strategic fortress, and there was no mention of Tan Ning in the whole process.

When the war was in chaos, neither Nanchen nor Beichen sent troops to suppress the bandits in this place.

This shows that tannin is not important in war and is a place of no value.

She intuitively felt that Meng Ying couldn't spare any time to take care of Danning's affairs, and she didn't want to.

In addition, she saw Meng Ying talking and laughing with Mei Shaohong. Mei Shaohong put the roe deer hat on Meng Ying with his own hands. They were very intimate. They were a family, members of the Mei family. Would he kill her? Mei Shaohong came to a conclusion in Bai Zhi's heart.

No one present had paid attention to Denning. They had not even heard of these small towns. It was none of their business.

But they all have a common purpose this time, which is to regain Nanchen, which is also Meng Ying's purpose.

If Bai Zhi wants to achieve her goal, she must make a fuss about the upcoming war. The most fortunate thing is that Zhuo Yao occupies a very important position in this war.

She used this war to force them, force them to solve the problem, force them to see the pain of tanning.

So she knelt down suddenly and kowtowed heavily to Meng Ying. The heavy words were stuck in her throat, but she was stuck for a moment.

What should she call herself?

Those with official titles are called ministers, and those with titles are called knights, but she has nothing. No one has given her an official title, and no one has recognized her status in this court meeting. Some people regard her as Princess Ning, and some people regard her as the crown prince. Madam, there are many people who don't care about her at all.

She has no position, so what does her appeal mean?

She understood her own humbleness, and also understood the humbleness of Danning. The only people who took her seriously were the people of Danning.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that all her power came from the faith of the people.

But the princess who is not from Ning Wang, the prince's wife, she has no power in the hall where they discuss matters. Without Meng Ying and Zhuo Yao, she is not qualified to enter this hall.

Only she can see the suffering of the people in Tan Ning!

If she betrays the people of Danning, she is nothing!

So she decided to live and die only with the people!

She took a deep breath and cleared her throat, "The civilian girl Bai Zhi wants to sue!"

Meng Ying frowned, feeling the pressure on her body.

Bai Zhi didn't wait for Meng Ying's permission and stopped paying attention. She started talking to herself, "A civilian girl wants to sue Mei Shaohong for betraying her family and country, colluding with foreign enemies, and leading the inhumane Jie people to the five cities of Danning." , it is a heinous crime to massacre the people of our country, Chen!”

"This crime deserves to be punished! The daughter of the people dares to ask His Highness Prince Ning to uphold justice, kill Mei Shaohong, and drive out the Jie people!"
