After Meng was put into Baili Tang's room, Baili Tang asked him directly: "General Meng, can you guess why I held the track and field meet?"

Meng Fang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, if I am correct, your Majesty's move is of great significance, but ultimately your Majesty wants the people to join the army!"

Baili Tang walked over, patted Meng Fang's sturdy shoulders, and said approvingly, "General Meng, are you confident?"

Meng Fang spoke in a firm tone, kneeling with the highest military honors of the Jing Dynasty, and said, "General, I will do my best!"

Baili Tang: "My dear, please get up quickly! If there are no outsiders here in the future, you don't have to perform formalities."

"I thank you for your grace!"

"General Meng, I appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Royal Legion!"

No one could have imagined that the dreaded Jingguo Royal Legion would be born in this way!

Then, Baili Tang gave Meng a design draft, which was a crossbow design. Jingguo already had crossbows, but the difference was that Baili Tang's design incorporated modern elements.

Modern crossbows are much stronger than ancient ones due to the different manufacturing techniques and materials. The key lies in the fact that the crossbow body and crossbow blades are more advanced than ancient ones.

The most important thing is that Baili Tang also added a telescope!

General Meng Fang, who was proficient in weapons manufacturing, was shaking with both hands when he received the design draft - Your Majesty is still Your Majesty!

If you don’t make a sound, you will be a surprise!

If you don’t fly, then don’t fly at all! If you do, soar into the sky!

"Your Majesty, I don't understand what this is." Meng Fang didn't notice and his voice trembled slightly.

"Telescope! General Meng, please follow me!"

I can't leave, Lord Zhang Dongzheng comes to ask for an audience.

"Your Majesty, I have been inspired by your idea and have come up with a plan!" Zhang Dongzheng grinned. "Your Majesty, please order all the generals to send two thousand elite soldiers each to escort Your Majesty back to the capital!"

Meng Fang repeatedly dodged Zhang Dongzheng for several meters. This was a civil official... a terrifying civil official...

Baili Tang patted Zhang Dongzheng on the shoulder and said, "Lord Zhang, come up with a feasible plan. I will discuss it with you tomorrow!"

Why didn’t I think of it?

The various troops are of course not getting along, so whoever doesn't come will be in trouble!

The total number of troops from several routes is nearly 20,000!

This is a great idea!

After saying that, Baili Tang took Meng Fang to Jia Shidao's secret room.

Why is Jia Shidao’s secret room so hard to find?

Because Jia Shidao placed the entrance to his secret room at the entrance to his private toilet. If Baili Tang had not deliberately ordered him to reward the silver craftsman last time, the guards would not have found this entrance.

…

Chao Hong clenched his fists tightly and became more and more worried.

One was the worry that Baili Tang had discovered Jia Shidao's secret room, which contained not only a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry, but also high-quality iron ore for making weapons.

Secondly, he was worried that Baili Tang would use this disaster relief effort to convert the victims into his own soldiers and expand Meng Fang's army!

Chao Hong grew up with Baili Tang and knew him very well.

He is capable of doing anything shameless!

Insidious and cunning!

Just like when he was chasing his sister for the throne, in order to gain the support of their Chao family and help him ascend the throne!

Soon, Chao Hong's worries became a reality.

Chao Man'er's mind was full of the little song that Zhang Dongzheng had just sung. As she undressed, she hummed: "The peach leaves are so pointed, the willow leaves cover the sky..."

Like Chao Man'er, there was also Liang Erhu: "...Grandpa Ming, who is in that position, listen carefully to what I have to say..."

And countless families are talking about this song.

They have seen many cases where feudal ethics have prevented many lovers from getting married.

But what does it mean that the top scholar takes the lead in singing?

It means that His Majesty has tacitly approved it!

"Boss, I want to participate in the competition tomorrow, is that okay?"

"Sure, sure! There are fewer women competing in your group, so you'll have a better chance of winning!"

Oh, other people thought so too!

So, on the second day, there were so many men and women signing up for the competition that it was terrifying!

So many that it brought tears to Lord Wang's eyes—last night, Lord Zhang's poem "Exploring the Qingshui River" delighted His Majesty. If he messed up today, the number of punishments would only increase exponentially.

I had a dream last night, in which I dreamed that His Majesty personally "executed" me...

"Master Zhang, are you free? How about helping me?"

"Sir Wang, if His Majesty were to learn of my involvement in this matter, I'm afraid His Majesty would punish me. So, Sir Wang, I apologize. I'll treat you to a drink some other day."

Lord Zhang was actually waiting for His Majesty, and he already had a detailed plan in mind. However, His Majesty and Meng Fang went somewhere unknown last night and have not returned yet.

Even Meng Fang's subordinates didn't know Meng Fang's whereabouts.

How strange!

Baili Tang, Meng Fang, and six guards worked all night in Jia Shidao's secret room.

There was no way. The conditions in ancient times were too backward. Even though the database in Baili Tang's mind recorded everything in detail, it still took a lot of time to succeed!

The six guards had names, so Baili Tang called them Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, etc. for easier remembrance.

Ah Da was the boss, always bullying others with his superior martial arts skills. The telescope had fallen into his hands. "Your Majesty, I saw someone peeing outside. This is disrespectful behavior. Could you please let me..."

Ah Wu: "Your Majesty, Ah Da is too idle to do anything, so you can order him to clean the toilet."

"Shoot!" Ah Da said and then beat him, "Shut up!"

Baili Tang was too lazy to pay attention to these people. He was more concerned about Meng Fang's results. In comparison, Meng Fang's was more difficult.

It’s strange, didn’t these people drink my “poison”?
