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

While they were talking for a while, the shadow of a city appeared in front of them.

The cities of the Barbarian Kingdom are different from those of the Central Plains. The Central Plains would build high city walls to prevent enemy invasions, but the Barbarian Kingdom had never encountered enemy attacks, so the city walls were built of mud and wood, and were short, with some hay on top.

"The place to rest is ahead. The next city is the capital of the barbarians. Let's rest here for a day."

When they arrived at the city gate, Song Wanning saw a woman coming to greet her.

"Ahaotai, you're finally back." The woman came over excitedly and hugged the barbarian leader. There were two cute little children beside her, who also hugged the barbarian leader's thighs.

"Father!"

A Haotai said in a hard voice: "Why are you crying? It's not like you're going to die out there and never come back."

"It's the best if you can return safely. May God bless you, may God bless you."

At this time, the woman noticed Song Wanning and her group. She was shocked to see their Central Plains faces.

"Ahaotai, who are these people?"

Ah Haotai couldn't explain that he was the leader of the enemy army, so he had to cover it up: "Some friends from the Central Plains said they wanted to come and visit, so I brought them back to see them."

"Weren't you out there fighting? And losing?"

"How could I lose? You are my woman, and you don't think of me at all. What are you saying all day? This is just a temporary truce. We will continue to fight again after a while!"

"Alas, it's another tough winter day."

Ah Haotai shouted as he came to Yun Che: “Let’s rest here for today. We can return to the capital tomorrow.”

Yun Che nodded and dismounted first, then helped Song Wanning down.

Song Wanning had been wearing women's clothes during this trip. Ahaotai was not surprised when he found out about this, because when he first saw Song Wanning, he felt that she looked effeminate and not manly at all.

The group checked into the inn. There were limited rooms, so Song Wanning and Yun Che stayed in one room, Li Yu Niang and Xu Lian stayed in another, and the others also stayed in pairs in a room.

Arriving at a new place, Song Wanning couldn't sit still and pulled Yun Che to walk around the street.

However, their looks would definitely attract other people's attention if they went out, so Song Wanning covered her face with a scarf, and Yun Che put on the fox mask that he had worn when he watched the Torch Festival in Jiangcheng before.

The two of them didn't plan to bring guards, but they were stopped by someone when they went out. It was Ahaotai's two children.

A boy and a girl, they look similar, their eyebrows and eyes are like Ahaotai, but their temperament is more well-behaved.

"Brother and sister, where are you going to play? Can you take us with you?"

"You are father's friends from the Central Plains, right? Many people here don't speak Mandarin. You don't know the barbarian language, so you can't go anywhere."

The two little guys were quite good at promoting themselves. Song Wanning thought they were cute and took them along.

"Sister, my name is Ami'er, and he is my brother, Ajing'er. What's your name?"

"My last name is Song, so you can just call me Sister Song. His last name is Yun, so you can call him Brother Yun."

"Your last name is Yun, so do you know Yun Che, the leader of the Central Plains Yun Family Army? Are you related to him?" Ajing'er blinked, looked up at Yun Che, and asked him.

Yun Che and Song Wanning both held their breath. They didn't expect that such a child would recognize Yun Che's name.

Song Wanning smiled and broke the silence: "Of course I don't know him. There are many people with the surname Yun in the Central Plains. He is just one of them."

Ajing'er then shook his head: "That's such a pity, I still want to get to know him."

Yun Che and Song Wanning walked outside Amil and Ajing'er, holding the hands of the two little ones respectively.

"What do you want to do by meeting him? Fight with him?" Song Wanning asked jokingly.

Unexpectedly, A Jing'er immediately became excited after hearing this: "I want to fight with him! Father is not good at fighting at all. He says he is very strong, but I know that he often suffers at the hands of Yun Che. Yun Che is very powerful. I really want to meet him!"

Song Wanning raised her eyebrows, exchanged a look with Yun Che, and then silently said with her mouth: “I didn’t expect you have a fanboy!”

At the same time, he couldn't help feeling helpless. If Ahaotai knew that his son was a fan of his opponent, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

The four of them arrived at the market and found that most of the people selling there were cattle, sheep, and other livestock, or some household wooden utensils, but very few were vegetables.

There are many people in the market, but there are few varieties of goods.

Song Wanning's heart was moved, and she asked Yun Che: "Have the Central Plains and the barbarians ever traded with each other?"

Yun Che shook his head: “There is not much contact between the two countries. In the past few years, there was trade between the people, but in recent years, the government has banned all trade with barbarians.”

"Why?"

"There were some disputes because of the boundary line."

"Tell me, if the two countries resume trade, will the situation be much better and there won't be any more wars?"

As she spoke, Song Wanning came to a stall selling roasted meat and said, "Boss, give me four skewers."

When Amil and Ajing'er saw that they also had a share, they looked at Song Wanning with sparkling eyes full of admiration.

Song Wanning found it funny that the two little guys could be bribed with just a little food.

"Look, the barbarian meat is tender but not fat, oily but not greasy, and has no fishy smell at all. Most of it is mutton, with very little pork or chicken. In the Central Plains, only the nobles in the capital have the opportunity to eat mutton. If the two countries resume trade, this meat will be one of the commodities that can be traded."

While eating the roasted meat in her hand, Song Wanning came to a jewelry stall and said, "There are also these agates, which are rare in the Central Plains. The jade is of high quality, but the carving is a bit rough. If there are savvy businessmen dealing with them, they will definitely find many business opportunities."

Amir tilted her head and asked, "Is agate rare in the Central Plains? We have a lot of it here. My brother and I have buttons made of agate."

Song Wanning squatted down and took a look, and found that it was true.

Yun Che also felt that the benefits of trade were enormous: “If we resume trade and strengthen exchanges between the Central Plains and the barbarians, then if we go to war again in the future, the people will be the first to disagree.”

Song Wanning smiled: "That's what I think!"

Let’s put the idea of ​​trade aside for now. The most important thing at the moment is to eat, drink and have fun.

Song Wanning ran to several food stalls and shops and bought some naan and wild fruits. When she came to an old man's stall, she actually saw mushrooms!

You should know that most mushrooms are found in the humid southwest regions. They have very high requirements for temperature and humidity. The barbarians live in the north, where the temperature is cold and dry, so how can there be mushrooms?

Song Wanning quickly asked: "Old man, where did you pick these mushrooms? What kind of mushrooms are they? Are they edible?"
