Chapter 40: Conflict
Ordered to go down tomorrow to send someone to repair the pavilion in the center of the lake and reinstall the rockery, Meng Xingyu dismissed the guards and some palace maids, and let the two palace maids who stayed behind prepare hot water, and after bathing and changing clothes, his pale face recovered a lot of blood.

After changing into a pair of silk pajamas, Meng Xingyu sat cross-legged on the wide bed, and since he could already sense the energy of heaven and earth, he naturally couldn't sleep when he was excited.
Sitting quietly cross-legged, Meng Xingyu's eyes were slightly closed, and he began to absorb the energy in heaven and earth transmitted from the soybean-sized hole little by little, and incorporated this energy into his body through his mouth and nose.
By fusing the memories of the 'Ancient Emperor', these heaven and earth energies incorporated into the body are transmitted into the dantian in the body through several special veins in the body, and the foundation of the dantian is the first step of cultivation.
"No, just relying on this little big hole can absorb the energy of heaven and earth is pitiful, if I can pull out that mysterious power again, maybe I can open up this hole a little bigger, if I can completely control the mysterious power, maybe it is not impossible to destroy the barrier, after all, the mysterious power has played a role in destroying this barrier.
As time went by, an hour, two hours, three hours, Meng Xingyu found that the amount of heaven and earth energy he could absorb was simply pitiful, and he incorporated these energies into his body and sent them into the dantian, but he just failed to react to the sea, if he continued at this rate, even after ten years, he might not be able to build a foundation successfully.
And even if the foundation building is successful ten years later, such a speed of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth will at most make his foundation building complete the level of the doorway.
Shaking his head, he could only absorb such a small amount of heaven and earth energy, and it would be in vain to spit it out, it was already past three o'clock in the morning, Meng Xingyu was ready to rest, and his injured soul also needed to rest in order to recover quickly.
Because the soul needs to recuperate, Meng Xingyu is not in a hurry to leave the palace, anyway, his father and queen mother have already allowed him to take a day off, and he can go out of the palace at any time to see, provided that he must report to them, and the guards will not let go until they are followed by guards at the gate of the palace.
When the soul fully recovered, it was already the morning of the sixth day, Meng Xingyu sat up from the wide bed, stretched out, breathed in the cool air of the morning, and felt the spirit of the soul that had fully recovered.
"I didn't expect that the wounds on my soul had recovered in such a short period of time, and I vaguely felt that the soul power I could use was stronger than before, perhaps it had recovered to two-tenths of the time when I was victorious."
"Well, I'll go out and have a look today, and after dinner, I'll go to my father and queen mother and ask them to allow me to leave the palace."
Getting up from the bed and changing into the gold-inlaid green clothes that he wore casually on weekdays, Meng Xingyu was a little surprised that his soul not only recovered in a few days, but also improved the soul power that he could use a lot.
Opening the door of the sleeping hall, the two palace maids guarding the door saluted him, and then went to prepare the washing water, and after a while, a basin of water with just the right temperature was filled and placed in front of Meng Xingyu's table, and the towels and mouthwash were ready.
Meng Xingyu washed his face and rinsed his mouth, the meal had already been cooked and a table full of dishes, and the combination of big fish, meat, meat and vegetables was just right.
After dividing the table full of food by two, Meng Xingyu wiped his mouth and couldn't wait to get out of the courtyard where his palace was located, almost running all the way in the direction of a palace where his father and mother often stayed.
Wangcheng neighborhood is a bustling metropolis, full of visiting markets, and every street extends in all directions, every small alley is crowded with crowded people, both sides of the street are full of small stalls with various characteristics, and small merchants and vendors are constantly noisy.
These street vendors are basically ordinary people, and on both sides of each street are countless restaurants, medicine stores, pawnshops, and rice shops opened by merchants of some powerful and wealthy parties.
Walking out of the palace, Meng Xingyu plunged into the crowd of people coming and going, in order to hide people's eyes, he was followed by only four Praetorian Guards in civilian clothes, but despite this, the four of them walked side by side behind Meng Xingyu, and the momentum faintly emanating from his body still made people dare not approach.
Meng Xingyu originally didn't want anyone to follow, but how to say that he was also the second prince of the empire, under the holy order of his father, he still made a compromise, but under his insistent request, he still sent four of his personal forbidden soldiers to protect him, so even if these four people were wearing civilian clothes, they would still exude a terrifying momentum.
With a bitter face, Meng Xingyu originally wanted to go shopping in a low-key manner, but he found that no matter where he went, with these four people following, the flow of people would involuntarily diverge to both sides of the road to open the way for him.
Meng Xingyu walked in the front, trying to keep a certain distance from these four people, and the four people behind him seemed to know what the prince was thinking, and the footsteps behind him gradually slowed down, they believed that as long as they were within a hundred meters of their gaze, with the reach of the four of them, even if the prince had any accidents, they would be able to protect the prince's safety in time as soon as possible.
Along the way, he walked around and around the streets of Wangcheng, and because of that 'great ideal', he especially patronized the material shops, metal shops, gunpowder shops, etc. that he passed.
After a morning of wandering, Meng Xingyu was not without gains, a small area inside his yellow ring was filled with all kinds of materials that he had piled up, and another area was filled with gunpowder sealed in an iron can.
It's okay to buy a lot of metal, glue, and copper materials, but in order to buy that pile of gunpowder sealed in iron cans, Meng Xingyu broke his leg.
The empire has a clear rule that you can't buy too much gunpowder at one time, otherwise whether it is a store or a buyer, only if someone reports it, you will get into trouble and even suffer a lawsuit.
Therefore, in order to save such a large amount of gunpowder, Meng Xingyu can be said to have visited almost the entire Wangcheng store that sold gunpowder.
"There is no way to do this, although gunpowder is a necessity for making festival fireworks, it is also a very lethal dangerous goods in large quantities, and its storage especially needs to ban smoke and fire, otherwise it is easy to have a big accident."
After buying a little gunpowder from a shop that sold festive fireworks, he filled and sealed an iron can containing gunpowder in the ring, and looked at no less than thirty fireworks shops, and the gunpowder collected was only filled with six iron cans, Meng Xingyu was relieved to think about it.
Compared with buying gunpowder directly, it is undoubtedly possible to buy a lot of those made fireworks at one time, but if you take out gunpowder from those fireworks, it is a troublesome matter, and the amount that needs to be purchased is also large, and the space stored in the ring also takes up a lot of space, and of course it costs more money.
Meng Xingyu didn't think about it, so he would rather spend more time buying gunpowder than buying enough fireworks at one time and then extracting gunpowder from it, which would be the real trouble.
"I don't know if there are guns and guns made of gunpowder in this world? If I made a firearm with great lethality in my previous life, and when I fought with someone, I would shoot the enemy in the head with a headshot, would I be a little suspicious of it? ”
Walking out of the fireworks shop, Meng Xingyu secretly thought for no reason in his heart, thinking that if he fought with someone in the future, when the difference between the strength of the enemy and me was too great, he took out a gun, and when the other party was curious about the strange weapon he took out, he would make such a shot at that person, and he had no intention of turning the tide of victory and defeat.
"Dodge, dodge, dodge!"
Just when Meng Xingyu's heart was dark, in front of the wide street, a slightly domineering shout and the sound of a leather whip whipping the horse's buttocks came, Meng Xingyu looked up and looked at the calendar, only to see that the center of the street was in chaos, and the flow of people was forcibly diverted to both sides of the street, making the two sides of the street where Meng Xingyu was located seem a little crowded for a while, and in the center of the street where the flow of people was separated, a rampaging horse drove a young man in a turquoise robe galloping.
As the sound of the young man on the horse came out in the distance, the flow of people and vendors ten meters away scattered in all directions, and they were afraid that they would not be able to dodge. In an instant, the middle of the street was empty, and some of the stalls that had not arrived and had left were hit by horses, and small goods, vegetables and fruits were scattered all over the ground.
Just as Meng Xingyu was about to be crowded to both sides of the street by the scattered crowd, a little girl's cry caught his attention.
At this time, in the very center of the street, a little girl of about four or five years old was standing there in a somewhat dazed pestle, and at this time the rampaging horse and the little girl were already close at hand, and the horse's sturdy body and front hooves could at any moment collide with the delicate little girl, knock the little girl away, or trample under the merciless iron hooves.
The little girl who suddenly appeared in the center of the road attracted Meng Xingyu's attention, the distance between him and the little girl was just within a controllable range, and before he had time to think about it, Meng Xingyu rushed up in front of the little girl with an arrow step, picked up the little girl and protected the little girl's body, and instantly fell on the side where the horse's iron hooves fell.
"Appeal ,,,,,,"
Due to the sudden situation, the young man in green on the horse held the reins and stopped the galloping horse.
"What a boldness, you don't want to live? Do you dare to be shocked by this young master's horse? Do you know who I am? ”
Stopping the horses, the green-clothed young man sitting on the horse did not realize his mistake at all because he almost hit someone just now, but scolded Meng Xingyu and the little girl who was saved by him arrogantly, without any guilt in his words, as if the other party should not be shocked by his horse even if he was hit and killed.
"I think you don't want to live anymore, such a wide road is for people to walk, not for beasts to race."
Got up from the ground and checked that the little girl in his arms was okay, Meng Xingyu put his mind at ease, and heard the young man in green on the horse who stopped the horse without guilt, his heart suddenly became angry, although the little girl was fine, his arm was bumped in the rub just now, although it was not a big problem, but it was also a burst of pain, at this time, he raised his face, looked at the young man on the horse, and said angrily.
