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

"The general has not returned yet." He shook his head and replied.

Song Wanning frowned after hearing this, feeling unhappy.

"What time is it now?"

"It is not yet half past midnight."

"Go call everyone back and go outside to look for the general."

Song Wanning raised her foot and walked outside.

As soon as I walked out of the house, I saw Gu Yong coming back being carried by Yun Che and Lei Ting.

All three of them had varying degrees of injuries. Song Wanning was shocked: "What happened?"

Could it be that Ahaotai changed his mind and wanted them to die in the barbarian country?

Yun Che shook his head, suggesting that she go inside to talk, and then ordered the guards: “Close the door, don’t open the door if there is any movement, and watch here carefully.”

"Yes!"

After returning to the house, Song Wanning bandaged and treated the three people separately and found that Gu Yong's injuries were the most serious. Yun Che only suffered minor skin injuries. It seemed that he was injured while protecting Yun Che.

"What happened? Were you attacked outside? Was it Ahaotai's men?"

Yun Che shook his head: “I don’t think they were sent by Ahaotai.”

"Why?"

Lei Ting was sitting on the side. He exchanged a glance with Yun Che and then spoke first: “Before they started, they shouted for the barbarians. It didn’t sound right.”

Yun Che nodded: "After being in contact with Ahaotai for such a long time, I can see that he fights for the people of the Barbarian Country, but the few people who attacked today don't seem to be Ahaotai's style."

Gu Yong didn't think so: "General, don't be careless, what if they are pretending to deceive us?"

"Send someone to the palace tomorrow to deliver a message. I want to meet Ahaotai and test the waters."

The next day in the palace, Ahaotai was discussing something with his brother Ahura in the study when someone came in with a report.

"Chief, your old friends in the city want to see you."

Ahaotai immediately realized that it was Yun Che and the others, and then tried to send Ahura away.

"Ahura, let's put today's matter aside for now. If there are other orders, I will send someone to tell you. You can go back first."

Ahura smiled but did not move.

"Brother, do you have any civilian friends in the city? I wonder what special qualities these civilians have that earn your favor."

Ahaotai's face was slightly stern: "This is none of your business."

"If it's about the Barbarian Country, then that's my business. Brother, don't forget that I'm also a member of this country. I have the right to know the truth of the matter."

Ahaotai winked at his confidant, and then said, "I understand. Then you stay here and bring the person over."

The confidant came to Yun Che and told them what Ahaotai meant: "The leader asked General Yun not to reveal his identity."

Yun Che asked back: "Why?"

"this......"

The confidant hesitated to speak, and then gently reminded: "The leader and Ahura have some disputes over political views..."

Some things can be stopped at the right time. Yun Che understood: "I understand. Lead the way."

Song Wanning was worried about him going alone, so she followed him. Gu Yong and Lei Ting wanted to follow, but were rejected by Yun Che.

"Just two of us can go. Too many people will attract their attention."

When they arrived at the palace, Yun Che and Song Wanning simply saluted to Ahaotai out of politeness.

They ignored Ahura next to them, which made Ahura very dissatisfied.

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, these two friends of yours look like people from the Central Plains."

Ah Haotai gave the explanation he had prepared long ago: "Doctor Sheng Chu in the military camp also has a Central Plains face. What's so strange about that?"

"That's different. Sheng Chu grew up in my Barbarian Country. We know each other well. But do you know where these two are from? What if they are from the Yun Family Army? Wouldn't you be charged with treason?"

Ahura said faintly.

Song Wanning frowned and looked at Ahura. She always felt that this man was sinister and had a weird aura.

Yun Che smiled and replied calmly, "Your Excellency is worrying too much. I am an inconspicuous businessman in the Central Plains. This time I came here to discuss trade matters with Chief Ahaotai."

After hearing this, Ahura's face turned cold. "The Central Plains and the barbarians have cut off contact for many years. How can we restart trade? Moreover, our two countries are still at war. It's a life-and-death situation. How can you be so naive and deceive my brother? Come on, drag him down and kill him!"

"Wait!" Ahaotai stopped him, "They are my friends, Ahura, do you take me, your brother, seriously?"

Ahura smiled and said, "Brother, you are the leader of my Barbarian Country. Who can not respect you? I was just discussing this Central Plains. I was so angry that I couldn't calm down. My family hatred and national hatred came to me. I was so emotional. I hope you can forgive me."

Song Wanning always felt that there was something else behind his words.

"If you are so emotional, then go back and calm down. Don't embarrass us barbarians in front of my friends. There is nothing for you to do here. You can go down first." Ahaotai said in a cold and hard voice.

Now, Ahura had no excuse and had to leave, but he still felt a little weird.

Before leaving, he gave Song Wanning and Yun Che a meaningful look.

After everyone left, Ahaotai breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't blame me, General Yun. Ahura is my brother. He has always hated you. If he was the one leading the troops on the front line this time, I'm afraid he would do something a hundred times crazier than me."

What Ahaotai didn't say was that the general who killed Atian and others and suggested dumping the bodies outside the gate of Jiangcheng was Ahura's man.

Yun Che nodded slightly: "Chief Ahaotai, I came here to ask you a question. Last night, I and two other men were attacked outside the city. Was it you who did it?"

Ahaotai's expression changed slightly: "Are there any casualties?"

If Yun Che and his people were to encounter trouble in the Barbarian Country, the border would inevitably become turbulent again, and the previous beautiful vision of trade and crop cultivation would be gone.

Seeing his reaction, Yun Che immediately determined that the attack last night was not Ah Haotai’s intention.

"No, it's nothing serious."

Ahaotai sighed, "I was negligent in this matter. Regarding the matter of surrendering to become a vassal state, I tried to find out the opinions of other ministers this morning. Some agreed, but there were also many who opposed. My brother Ahura was one of those who opposed it."

"Plus, there are several people on the front line who know your identity. They may have sent a letter back to tell some ministers about this matter. That's why you were suddenly attacked. General Yun, I can guarantee you that I can thoroughly investigate this matter, but I can only guarantee that I can find out who the murderer is. I can't give you an explanation."

Song Wanning was puzzled: "Why? You are the leader of this barbarian country, the most powerful person, won't they obey you?"

After hearing this, Ahaotai just smiled bitterly: "Miss Song, that's not the case."
