ily. Ze Duan harvested the crops for rice to eat.
Mei Lan’s beauty inspired many match makers, and a lot of men, including the emperor Huizong, wanted to
marry her. Mei Lan’s family was not wealthy, but they had enough to eat because Huizong always gave them
copper coins in return for Mei Lan’s hand in marriage. Mei Lan worked as one of the emperor’s maids at the
Imperial Palace.
O
Ze Duan had great wisdom. He told Mei Lan that he had predicted that Mongols were trying to invade
China by burning down the Great Wall. Mongols were a band of tribesman led by a Khan, who was Ghenghis

Huizong had news for Mei Lan. He said, “Mei Lan, from this day on, you will be my wife and my queen.” Mei
Lan replied, “Thank you, your Majesty. Please tell your people to repair the Great Wall. My brother predicted
the Mongols will invade China and hold you prisoner.” Huizong nodded, “That I will. Now end this talk of
war.” He painted a pretty picture of birds for Mei Lan. She was so happy she couldn’t speak.
Actually, invaders were already living in the Great Wall. Their names were Aris Leo and Saggatrius. Aris
was a mad scientist. He had something wrong in the head. Leo was a pirate of Mongolia. He used to be a rival of
the Mongols. Saggatrius was Aris’s lab assistant. He was driven out by the Mongols once he was Aris’s
Assistant. They planned to set a fire in a small section of the Great Wall, so the troops, of Mongol could go
through. Saggattrius, Leo, and Aris wanted to make a magic concoction to blow up the Great Wall. Their
ingredients exploded when they were put together. It could be used to blow up the Great Wall by putting a
charge of it under the wall.
Huizong tried putting extra soldier forces, but it was no use. After the Great Wall blew up, the Mongols
marched through led by Kublai Khan, Ghenghis (Temujin) Khan’s grandson.
The Yuan Dynasty began. It was 1127.
