It turned out that the internal disputes within the barbarian country were also very serious.

The country is divided into two factions, Ahaotai and Ahura. Those who support Ahura are radical people. They want to raise an army to attack the Central Plains, take control of the Central Plains, and kill all the people in the Central Plains.

Ahaotai only wanted to give the barbarian people a better life. He knew that Ahura's plan would only make the people, who already had a hard life, even more miserable. Because the Central Plains was vast, with a large population and abundant materials, it was simply impossible to take over the entire Central Plains.

Therefore, Ahaotai decided to agree to Ahura's wishes while preserving the lives of the barbarian people.

Attack Jiangcheng and expand the territory of the Manyi Kingdom to the south, so that the people can farm.

After saying this, Ahaotai looked heavy-hearted: "My brother is very radical, and his followers are all crazy people. Seeing that you are from Central Plains, he may not kill you for my sake. But if he knows your true identity, he will definitely kill you at all costs."

Yun Che raised his eyebrows: "What if he already knows?"

Ahaotai was stunned, then shook his head: "This is impossible!"

Song Wanning could see it all: "Just now he kept hinting that you were collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, and he kept looking at Yun Che. I think he must have known our true identity."

"General Yun, let's put the issue of surrender and trade aside for now. We will discuss it again when we return to the border. Now you should hurry back!"

“If you leave now, he will only find evidence against you and pin the crime of treason on you. It will then be a bloodbath.” Yun Che shook his head and rejected A Haotai’s approach.

"Then what do you want to do?"

"As long as we stay in the Barbarian Country for one day, Ahura will focus on us instead of provoking border disputes again. Send a few trustworthy people to protect us. During this period, do not mention us to other ministers."

Yun Che already had a plan in mind, but he didn't tell A Haotai about it.

A Haotai agreed to Yun Che's request and asked someone to take them away.

On the way back, Song Wanning felt that Yun Che would not let it go like this: "Ahura is always a hidden danger. If we leave him in the Barbarian Country, if one day he really defeats Ahaotai, then the agreements with the vassal states and the decisions on trade will all be invalid, and there will definitely be another war on the border."

Yun Che smiled: "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Maybe it's because I'm the worm in your stomach?"

"What are roundworms? Why are they in my stomach?"

Song Wanning poked his shoulder: "No sense of humor at all!"

The two went back and told others what happened in the palace today.

"So, the person who attacked us yesterday was Ahura?" Lei Ting rested his chin with his hand, thinking.

"That's right."

"If he is really that crazy, and sees us in the barbarian territory, he will definitely not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will try every possible means to kill us."

The more Gu Yong spoke, the more he felt something was wrong: "General, we can't stay here any longer. The situation is urgent. We need to go back quickly."

Yun Che did not move: "We are not leaving."

Seeing Gu Yong's angry and confused expression, Song Wanning explained to him: "Ahura has considerable influence in the Barbarian Country. If we leave, he will definitely take the opportunity to drive Ahaotai off the position of leader, and then he will launch an even more crazy attack."

Yun Che stated his plan: “So not only will we not leave, we will also stay here to help Ahaotai get rid of Ahura.”

Song Wanning was a little excited: "Do you want me to poison him to death? Or make him half-paralyzed? I have developed a new poison that can make the poisoned person's mouth crooked and eyes slanted. He can only lie in bed to recuperate and can't speak, just like a stroke."

"Do you have any way to get close to Ahura?"

Just this one question made Song Wanning's face fall: "There is no other way, otherwise let Ahaotai call Ahura over, and I will poison him in front of everyone."

Yun Che held her head and said, "I think we can lure the snake out of its hole. The longer we stay in the Barbarian Capital, the more restless the Barbarians who have the same idea as Ahura will be. They will want to kill us. I asked Ahaotai for some people to ensure our safety. When the time comes, we will lure them outside and then take action."

Song Wanning agreed: "This is a good idea. It can not only solve the hidden dangers of the Barbarian Country in the future, but also help Ahaotai deal with his enemies."

At this point, she suddenly realized: "No wonder Ahaotai said he could only find the murderer and couldn't give us an explanation, but when you asked for help, you agreed so decisively."

"So, Ahaotai is not a good person either. We should not underestimate him. After this matter is dealt with, we should not delay and must return to Jiangcheng as soon as possible."

After discussing the plans for the next few days, Lei Ting went to Xu Lian's room opposite.

It was broad daylight, the sun was already high in the sky, and Xu Lian was still sleeping.

She woke up drowsily and was startled to see Lei Ting standing beside the bed. She quickly pulled up the quilt and said, "Why are you in my room in broad daylight? Don't you know that there is no clear distinction between men and women? Don't you know how to knock before coming in?!"

She wanted to curse a few more times, but thinking that her personal safety was now in Lei Ting's hands, she dared not curse and could only complain a few words.

"You also know that it's daytime now. Don't you have anything to do after sleeping for so long?" Lei Ting asked in a cold voice.

Xu Lian yawned. She really had nothing to do.

It has been the second day since she moved into this house. Lei Ting went out with Yun Che yesterday and came back very late. She didn’t see him at all.

Now Xu Lian feels that being here is much better than being in prison. He has a room of his own, eats and drinks well every day, has nothing to do, and doesn't have to listen to Lei Ting's lectures every day.

But now, this beauty has been broken by Lei Ting.

"It's a special period recently. The new servant is very dangerous. There are many things to do in the house. Miss Song has important things to do, and Miss Li has difficulty walking, so..."

Standing in the yard with a broom, recalling what Lei Ting had just said, Xu Lian wanted to kill someone!

"Why do you let me do this kind of menial work? You guys are just enjoying yourself in the house! Bastards!"

There weren't many fallen leaves in the yard originally, but after Xu Lian messed them up so randomly, it looked messy.

Li Yu Niang was very bored. She came out of the house and saw Xu Lian going crazy. She couldn't help but add insult to injury. She didn't have a good face towards her. After all, someone like Xu Lian was still alive. Just one look at her made her eyes dirty.

"Miss Xu, you have to sweep the floor properly, otherwise I will complain when General Lei comes back."

Xu Lian rolled his eyes to the sky and said stubbornly, "Go ahead, what can he do to me?"
