After understanding the thoughts of animals, I became more successful in escaping famine!

"She grew up in the capital and was spoiled. She had everything she wanted and had never experienced hardship. Last time, the barbarian leader said that the barbarians had a hard life, so I wanted to take her to see it. To increase her experience and change her character."

Lei Ting always feels a sense of responsibility towards Xu Lian.

"General, rest assured. I will take care of all of Xu Lian's affairs and will make sure she doesn't get into any trouble!"

Yun Che hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

Lei Ting went to the prison and met Xu Lian.

Xu Lian thought that he was here to talk about the great principles in the Four Books and Five Classics again, so she covered herself with the quilt and pretended to be asleep, not wanting to pay any attention to him.

Lei Ting sighed: "Do you want to get out of prison?"

Xu Lian sat up straight away, forgetting that he was pretending to be asleep: "You want to let me out? Will Yun Che agree?"

After saying that, she felt that Yun Che would never agree to it, so she curled her lips and said, “You lied to me?”

Lei Ting sat on the chair that had been prepared for him outside the cell, with his legs apart and his hands on his knees. "I'm not lying to you. We are going to the Barbarian Country. I plan to take you with me. If you perform well on this trip, I can apply to the general to release you from prison."

Xu Lian's first reaction was to refuse: "I won't go. The Central Plains and the barbarians are at war. You are going to the barbarians. Aren't you going to die? Besides, the barbarians are cold and poor. I will definitely suffer if I go there. I might as well stay here. Without you, there will be no one to nag me every day. It's good."

The more she talked, the more satisfied she felt. She lay down again, found a comfortable position and closed her eyes: "I'm going to sleep, you go back."

"If you stay here without my care, the soldiers in the prison will no longer look after you, and the food they give you will be rotten. It's winter, and there will be no warm blankets. You might freeze to death here."

Lei Ting was not in a hurry and spoke slowly.

Xu Lian was so angry that she sat up again: "Are you threatening me!?"

"No, I'm just asking you to make a choice: do you want to use this opportunity to clear your name, or do you want to wait to freeze to death in prison?"

Xu Lian felt aggrieved: "Then you have to prepare some luggage for me, and decorate the carriage beautifully."

"Then you can continue to stay in prison."

Lei Ting lost his patience and stood up to leave.

Xu Lian quickly stopped him: "Don't go! I'll go, isn't it okay for me to go?"

In this way, Xu Lian was added to the team heading to the Barbarian Country.

Yun Che also selected a few skilled soldiers from the army to serve as guards, and Shen Qiu was among them.

After knowing that Shen Qiu was going, Li Yu Niang begged Song Wan Ning to go with her, and Song Wan Ning had no choice but to agree.

Afterwards, Yun Che left some people behind to guard Jiangcheng to prevent the barbarians from changing their minds and suddenly launching an attack. He also sent a team of soldiers to wait three miles outside the barbarians' borders. If they encountered any accidents, they would send out signal flares, and when the troops on standby saw them, they would rush into the barbarians' borders to rescue them.

Seeing Yun Che's meticulous deployment, Gu Yong couldn't help but sigh that he was short-sighted at the beginning, and Yun Che was still thinking very long-term.

As soon as they entered the barbarian country, Sheng Chu brought them some clothes of the barbarian people and asked them to dress up as barbarians.

Song Wanning thought it was quite interesting and bizarre, but Gu Yong and Lei Ting were very resistant.

"As you all know, the barbarians and the Central Plains are at war right now. If you enter our country dressed in Central Plains clothes like this, it will definitely cause disgust among the people. Imagine if we enter Jiangcheng at this time, will we also be shouted at to be killed?"

Sheng Chu hurriedly explained, and after listening, Gu Yong and Lei Ting said nothing more and put on their clothes silently.

After Xu Lian put on her clothes, she felt very dissatisfied: "What kind of fabric is this? Why is it so rough? What should I do if it rubs calluses on my body?"

Li Yu Niang sat in the wheelchair that Song Wan Ning had customized for her. She had already changed her clothes: "If you don't want to wear it, you can take it off and no one will say anything to you."

"You! Vulgar! Shameless!" Xu Lian was so angry that her face turned red.

Li Yu Niang rolled her eyes and pushed her wheelchair to find Song Wan Ning.

There are very few paved roads in the barbarian country. The roads from the border to the nearest city are full of potholes. It is very uncomfortable to ride in a carriage, so you can only ride a horse.

Song Wanning is playful and wants to enjoy the feeling of freedom while riding a horse across the prairie, but she doesn't know how to ride a horse.

There was no choice but to share a horse with Yun Che and walk slowly.

On the other side, Xu Lian, who also couldn't ride a horse, had to be led by Lei Ting. Lei Ting disliked her for moving around and kept scolding her.

Li Yu Niang sat in front of Shen Qiu with a red face: "Thank you for your help."

Shen Qiu said calmly: "No trouble."

In the marching team, the barbarian leader's horse was in front, while Song Wanning and others were in the middle.

On the way, Song Wanning saw someone herding sheep in the distance.

It was already approaching winter, and the cold wind blew over, chilling her bones. Song Wanning couldn't help but shrink into Yun Che's arms.

"The grass has turned yellow, why are they still feeding the sheep?" Xu Lian also saw the sheep and couldn't help asking.

She had a pony at home, which was an extremely valuable breed. It was usually looked after by a special groom and fed with concentrated feed. Gradually, the horse became picky and would not eat anything other than fresh grass.

When Sheng Chu heard this, he also explained: "This girl doesn't know that sheep are livestock and can eat both green grass and hay."

Xu Lian said in an unhappy tone: "Of course I know that sheep are livestock, you don't need to tell me."

She thought Sheng Chu was mocking her for being ignorant, but Lei Ting squinted at her and said, "Doctor Sheng is kind enough to explain this to you, why are you so angry?"

"You actually helped a barbarian to talk about me!?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the barbarians and the Central Plains people. Others are kind-hearted, but you speak harshly to them. You are really ignorant. Apologize to Doctor Sheng!"

Xu Lian turned away: "I don't."

"Do you believe I will throw you down now?" Lei Ting threatened her.

Xu Lian felt very aggrieved, but his life was more important.

If I were thrown out now, I would definitely be abused by those barbarians.

"Feel sorry."

She whispered the words, but Sheng Chu heard them.

"You don't have to be so polite, girl."

After only walking for an hour, Song Wanning felt cold, tired and sleepy.

"How long until it arrives?"

Yun Che laughed at her: “Didn’t you want to ride your horse and gallop just now? Why are you so listless now?”

"Hmph, you just wait until I get there and I'll learn how to ride a horse. I won't need you by then." Song Wanning said with a deliberately arrogant tone.

"Who are you going to ask to teach you?"

"Don't Gu Yong and Lei Ting know how to ride horses?"

"Didn't you think of me?"

Yun Che held her waist in his palm and gently caressed it.

Song Wanning felt itchy and tried to break free, but Yun Che held on tighter.

"Who told you to laugh at me just now? I won't let you teach me!"
