Amil and Ajing'er led Song Wanning and Yun Che to another house and found the cellar.

There were not only melons in the cellar, but also many other kinds of fruits and vegetables. Song Wanning cut one and tasted it, and found that it was exceptionally sweet and very juicy.

"Amil, tell my sister, is this melon rare in the Barbarian Country?"

Amir shook her head. "It's very common. It's everywhere in the summer. Now it's winter, so there's no outside. Only in this cellar of father's. There are many treasures in it, and there's also wine. Father usually doesn't want to drink it. Sister, you try it!"

The little guy was not polite to Song Wanning at all. Song Wanning didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If Ahaotai knew about this filial son, he would probably be very angry again.

A few people took some fruits back and distributed them to others.

Song Wanning said to Yun Che: "These common things are not available in the Central Plains. I think we can bring these things with us when we go back. It will be more convincing for His Majesty to resume trade."

Yun Che nodded, thinking it made sense.

"Don't just nod! How are you going to handle the Hongmen Banquet tomorrow?"

"When the time comes, the boat will straighten itself out. The mountain man has his own clever plan. You don't have to worry about this. I can only say that Shen Qiu has found some things. I know what Ahura is going to do. You just wait and see tomorrow."

Shen Qiu was sent by him to perform other tasks and has not appeared today.

Yun Che deliberately kept it a secret, and Song Wanning crossed her arms over her chest: "I've already said that I'll go there tomorrow too. I'm worried about you."

"Of course you have to go tomorrow, and it's just the two of us."

Ahura is Ahaotai's younger brother. When Ahura's wife celebrates her birthday, Ahaotai's family naturally has to go.

Ahaotai had arrived a long time ago and sat in the chair. Amil and Ajing'er sat beside him, their little heads raised and staring towards the door.

When they saw Song Wanning and Yun Che, they ran over quickly: “Brother and sister, you are finally here!”

Song Wanning touched the heads of the two little guys, and then nodded to Ahaotai.

She noticed that for a moment, everyone's eyes on the field were on the two of them.

This is truly a Hongmen Banquet.

The servants from Ahura's mansion came over and took Yun Che and Song Wanning to the seats prepared for them.

Amil and Ajing'er were taught to be very polite since childhood. After saying hello to Song Wanning and the others, they were about to go back to Ahaotai to accompany him, but were pulled back by Yun Che.

"It looks boring sitting there. Why don't you stay here with your sister Song and have a good chat with her?"

"But my father..."

Amir was worried, but Yun Che pointed in the direction of Ahaotai. Ahaotai nodded expressionlessly, with a serious look on his bearded face.

"Well, sister, try this grape, it's so sweet!"

Song Wanning talked to Amir and Ajing'er with a smile. After a while, everyone on the field arrived. Ahura stood at the top, and sitting next to him was Ahaotai.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I am very happy that you can come to my wife's birthday party. Everyone should eat and drink well today, and don't leave until you are drunk!"

Ahura said a few simple words, and then started talking to other people, as if he had forgotten about Yun Che, the guest.

After a while, he suddenly turned his gaze to Yun Che: "Brother, this is your friend from the Central Plains, right?"

Strangely, after hearing Ahura's words, everyone who was talking stopped and the banquet became very quiet.

Song Wanning nervously held Yun Che's hand, and Yun Che gently pinched her, signaling her to relax.

Yun Che poured himself a glass of wine, then raised his glass to Ahura and drank it all in one gulp.

Song Wanning had just tested the wine for poison. As expected, there was a drug in it. The dosage was not large, but it was not easy to be detected. After drinking it, people would only feel weak all over.

Song Wanning calmly put some more antidote in it. The two medicines neutralized each other, making the wine taste strange.

After Yun Che drank it, he pursed his lips calmly.

When Ahura saw him drink the wine, a smile spread across his face.

"My country, Manyi, is at war with the Central Plains. Under such circumstances, you are still able to come to my country as guests. It is really not easy. If your emperor knows about this, will he punish you?"

Song Wanning smiled leisurely as she talked, she was good at it.

"Lord Ahura, you are joking. We are friends with Chief Ahaotai. When the two countries are at war, only innocent soldiers and civilians will be implicated and affected. Chief Ahaotai is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the people suffer, so he brought us here to see what goods we can bring to sell in the Barbarian Country."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to talk about it.

"She actually mentioned commodities? Does she want to trade? How can such an idea be realized so easily? Is she kidding?"

"How shameless! The two countries have banned trade for many years. How can it be possible just because she says so?"

Ahura sneered: "This girl must have heard that trade between the two countries is impossible. Now there is only one way for my Barbarian Country and the Central Plains to go. Do you know what it is?"

"Oh? Why don't you tell me about it, sir?"

"That's our barbarian cavalry, breaking through the borders of the Central Plains!" Ahura suddenly shouted.

"well said!"

"My barbarian army will definitely march south and take over the Central Plains!"

Others are echoing.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Song Wanning suddenly burst into laughter.

Ahura's expression changed slightly: "What are you laughing at?"

"I am laughing at your naivety. How many people are there in the Barbarian Country? How many soldiers are there in the army? Is it only one tenth of the Central Plains army? Now the Yun Family Army is stationed at Jiangcheng Pass. After such a long time, have you managed to break through it?"

A series of questions left everyone speechless.

"This is my barbarian land. I won't tolerate a kid from the Central Plains like you being so presumptuous!" Someone couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and pointed at Song Wanning and cursed.

Song Wanning sneered: "Did I hit the nail on the head? Why do you look so angry? There is an old saying in the Central Plains that a prime minister has a big heart. This person is so petty. Is his official position... the ninth rank?"

The man became furious and started shouting to hit Song Wanning.

Song Wanning was not afraid at all.

At this moment, several masked men suddenly fell from the sky, stabbed the man's heart with a knife, and then rushed towards Ahaotai without stopping, swinging their knives.

"Father!" Amil and Ajing'er exclaimed in childish voices.

Ahura drew his sword and stood in front of Ahaotai: "Protect the leader!"

But for some reason, only a few guards from Ahura's mansion came, and they were held back by other assassins, so they had no time to save Ahaotai.
