After I was reborn, I became a top player in the cultivation world

In the short time since Meng Shijiu disappeared, Shu Chengyan had already searched inside and outside the banquet.

The palace was very tight, and he did not believe that Meng Jiujiu could escape.

But what he couldn't believe even more was that Meng Shijiu actually took Xiaokui and ran back slowly.

Shu Chengyan tightened her arm, "Where have you been?"

Meng Jiujiu was pulled so hard that she curled her lips and said, "You hurt me."

Shu Chengyan's eyes fell on Xiaokui, who answered honestly, "To tell you the general, the princess just took the time to adopt a son."

puff……

Meng Jiu almost vomited blood, it would be better not to explain!

"What a mess..."

Although Shu Chengyan didn't understand the meaning of these words, he still let out a sigh of relief, thinking that Meng Shijiu was just going out to relieve his boredom.

The king arrived soon, and the palace banquet officially began.

"I'm taking Xiaokui back. The general should have a good time socializing." Meng Shijiu wanted to sneak over to the female family members and find out the details of Wan Hongyu.

Shu Chengyan refused to let her go.

Shu Chengyan pulled Meng Jiujiu directly to sit next to him, "No, you sit next to me and don't leave my sight."

Her position was next to Shu Chengyan, which aroused other people's thoughts.

The Minister of Etiquette at the next table looked very displeased at Meng Jiujiu, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "This new favorite of the general behaves rudely, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get on the stage."

This is the father of Miss Dong who was scared away just now. Meng Jiujiu tilted his head to look at him, "He is not as elegant as Miss Dong, but he can just spill the fruit wine on my clothes in front of so many people."

The female relatives embarrassed me, and I don’t know which family’s etiquette it was.”

The Minister of Rites choked up with anger and placed the wine glass heavily on the table.

"General Shu, are you just going to let the people around you run wild?!"

Shu Cheng's expression didn't change, and he gave Meng Shijiu a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks, "This is delicious, try it. Stop talking so fast with useless people. This general doesn't care about people, let alone you."

Pay attention."

As soon as Meng Shijiu picked up the meat, the Minister of Rites next door howled angrily again, scaring her chopsticks off.

"Shu Chengyan, you have gone too far to deceive others. Today, the king is here, and I must seek justice! The king, the king must make the decision for me!"

The high-ranking ruler of the country looked this way and asked, "Why is Dong Aiqing so angry?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that General Shu's mansion recently acquired a cultivating woman from outside. He has violated the holy will like this and must be severely punished."

The Minister of Rites had been dissatisfied with Shu Chengyan for a long time. Almost all the military power in the country was in the hands of Shu Chengyan. However, he enforced the law strictly and could not tolerate any mistakes. The profit and water that he could capture from military supplies in the past was gone.

The king is over fifty years old. He has a standard Chinese character face, looks very humble, and has a pair of narrow eyes that hide a little sparkle.

"General Shu, is this possible?"

Shu Chengyan then stepped forward respectfully and said, "No. Mr. Dong is probably confused because he drank too much."

Meng Jiujiu laughed out loud, Shu Chengyan's words were purely irritating nonsense.

The old man's cup was still full and he hadn't even taken a sip.

"Who's laughing?"

The king suddenly spoke and looked in the direction of Meng Jiu. His eyes were slightly stagnant, as if he saw the shadow of another person through Meng Jiu's body.

Shu Chengyan whispered to Meng Jiu, "The king is calling you, why are you standing there? Just talk as usual."

Meng Jiujiu didn't feel guilty. She stood up and looked at the king's eyes, "It's me. What do you want to ask, the king?"

"It looks like... it's so similar." The king didn't seem to hear Meng Shijiu's question, but just stared at her face infatuatedly, making her whole body tremble.

The Minister of Rites did not see the eyes of the king, and continued to attack Meng Shijiu without any reason.

"Master, please don't be fooled by this little girl. General Shu brings back several women who look similar to the princess every year. Everyone knows his ambitions! This woman is of unknown origin and is extremely vulgar... If you don't believe it, you have no idea.

Let’s try to see if this little girl can cultivate herself!”

"Your Majesty, I can vouch for this woman. When she entered the palace this time, I brought her to Qingding for verification." Shu Chengyan protected Meng Jiu behind her.

"She came from your house, how do you count your guarantee?" The Minister of Rites smiled sarcastically, "You have only known each other for a few days, and General Shu can guarantee her like this. I guess you have a close relationship."

Meng Jiujiu was still a little touched by Shu Chengyan's protection. The Qingding had probably verified that if she really had nothing to do with the princess, she would be able to leave the Dan Kingdom safely.

She raised her face with pride and said, "Whatever it takes, just test it if you want. If it turns out that I have no cultivation, old man, how will you punish me?"

The Minister of Rites did not answer Meng Jiu's words, as if he was confident.

The king immediately called for two doctors and conducted a detailed examination of Meng Jiujiu on the spot, and then immediately reported back, "The king, this woman is indeed harmless. The foundation of her cultivation is the waste spirit, and she has no

Spiritual breath."

Meng Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. She didn't expect that her useless spirit body could still be used in a place like this.

As for her current inability to test her cultivation, it was thanks to Shu Chengyan's pills, which were indispensable if she wanted to get close to the king, and yet she managed to get them wrong.

The Minister of Rites looked in disbelief, "Without cultivation? How could it be possible that the day she entered the mansion, it was clear..."

"Why does Mr. Dong know so much about the affairs in my house? The king of the country has always been afraid of officials joining forces in private to communicate with each other. I'm afraid Mr. Dong's move is inappropriate."

Shu Chengyan grasped the key point, forcing the old face of the Minister of Rites to look half angry and half frightened, and he argued, "I didn't, the Lord knows for sure!"

The king frowned and finally said, "Someone, drag him down."

The guard beside him was stunned, "The king is referring to...which one?"

"Dong Aiqing is drunk. Take him down so he can sober up. Don't let him talk about anything without thinking too much, which will bring disgrace to our country."

The king waved his hands impatiently.

No one in the whole country knew that the search for the princess's soul was actually done by the king behind his back. In the end, the general was working for him.

The Minister of Rites was dragged out in front of everyone.

Wan Hongyu, who was sitting in the caravan outside the venue, opened her eyes wide, and hurriedly pulled Xianhua aside to watch the fun, "Isn't this the annoying old man from the Ministry of Etiquette? Why was he dragged out?"

She raised her head hard and looked at Li Xi's figure, locking her eyes on Meng Jiujiu. "General Shu protects this woman so much that even the king likes her. Wouldn't he grant a marriage to the two of them on the spot?"

"

With a 'snap' sound, the cup in Xie Fan's hand broke into two halves. Wan Hongyu wondered, "Why have you always had trouble with cups recently?...Hey, look, the king pulled the woman in!"
