Chapter 22: Exterminate All the Central Plains People

A Yang panicked, quickly denying, "No! The General can't just assume it's mine because my mother grows Fragrance-seeking Grass!"

"Foolish," Yelv Lie sneered, "When did this General ever say it was Fragrance-seeking Grass?"

A Yang's already large eyes widened like brass bells, "It's because... because I've been around Fragrance-seeking Grass since I was a child! I recognized it at a glance!"

Yelv Lie smirked sarcastically, "Why don't you take a good look again?"

A Yang thought of using Fragrance-seeking Grass to make that Central Plains woman faint as a spur-of-the-moment plan.

She quickly ran back to her small courtyard, grabbed a handful of Fragrance-seeking Grass, lit it and threw it into the General's room while holding her nose.

Fragrance-seeking Grass is the raw material for knockout fragrances, and its power is greater when ignited, causing one to faint upon smelling it.

When the two girls in the room fainted, A Yang hurried in, taking advantage of the night to help Qiao'er back to her room.

After all, all the servants were celebrating in the small courtyard too, so she wasn't afraid of being discovered.

Then, she went back and put that Central Plains woman on the bed, pretending she was asleep.

She quickly ran back to tell Yelv Lie that the Little Princess said she was feeling unwell and didn't want to attend the banquet.

Who would have thought that in the rush, she would forget the Fragrance-seeking Grass!

The night was dark, with only a few lanterns lit in the courtyard.

A Yang was preoccupied with the matter, fearful that Yelv Lie would find out.

So when he tossed the grass root covered in dirt her way, she instinctively thought it was Fragrance-seeking Grass.

Now, taking a closer look, it was just ordinary weeds from the courtyard, not Fragrance-seeking Grass at all!

A Yang's eyes flickered rapidly, and she quickly knelt on the ground, pitifully saying, "I misunderstood. But what does the General mean by throwing this dirt-mixed weed at me?"

"At death's door, yet unrepentant!"

The sea bowl on the table was hurled by Yelv Lie, smashing directly onto A Yang.

A Yang cried in pain, sobbing, "Banlai brother was right, Central Plains people really are disasters, and you've only known her for less than a day, yet already believe her slanderous words!"

Yun Chunnuan, silently watching on from the side: "???"

After she woke up, she found herself in different clothes, not knowing what happened, and then the Barbarian General forcibly made her drink a bowl of herbal medicine.

How could Yun Chunnuan know what the herbal medicine was? She thought he gave her something indescribable, intending to do some indescribable things...

But who knew that the Barbarian General didn't act out, instead saying he wanted to show her an exciting show.

Then they came here.

Well, here we are, no escaping anyway.

As long as the barbarian doesn't go wild, she's still willing to cooperate under the eaves.

However, as a bystander, she hadn't figured out what was going on and was already drenched in dirty water...

Everyone, except Yelv Lie and A Yang, was in the dark.

Banlai was foolish too, as soon as his beloved called his name, he hurriedly jumped out to speak for her, "General, where is A Yang wrong? Since that Central Plains woman came, you've been killing chickens and hosting banquets, pampering her too much! Are we Bianliao people not strong horses, why fear the Central Plains?"

So far, only A Yang had seen what the Little Princess looked like in the room.

In the eyes of the drunken men, she was just a white blob, her features indistinguishable, hardly beautiful.

So the General's care for the Central Plains woman was seen by Bianliao people as solely because of her status.

Unfortunately, Bianliao people are tough and unyielding, not fearing authority!

What does it matter if the Great Xia Country is rich and powerful? Didn't they still have to send a princess to Bianliao for marriage?

This kind of loss-making deal, there's no need to pamper!

Little did they know, their magnificent Great General at present was only enamored by the Little Princess's beauty, desiring her body.

'Bang—'

A wine jar accurately hit Banlai on the head, immediately drawing blood.

Banlai staggered; if he weren't robust, he might have been knocked out cold.

"Fool, she poisoned your sister, yet you still think she's a good person!" Yelv Lie was vexed at Banlai's lack of understanding.

Banlai, this lad had been with him since childhood, one against ten in battles.

Yet this brain, who knows how it developed, ignores many women but favored this one full of malice!

Came eagerly to propose, yet even after rejection, he's undeterred!

Today, he intended to wake up this dullard!

Banlai, in a drunken daze, blood gradually obscuring his vision.

He saw his beloved kneeling on the ground, looking at him pitifully... full of questions.

Poison?

How could that be!

His sister A Yang, beautiful and kind-hearted, at most a bit overbearing, how could she poison his sister?

But when has the General ever lied to him?

Banlai covered his head, looking at A Yang with grievance, "If you say no, I believe you!"

Though he said that, A Yang knew Banlai had already believed it, his loyalty to Yelv Lie unparalleled, always following orders without question since childhood!

Useless waste!

How could she, A Yang, marry such a cowardly man?

To be hit on the head with not a peep in protest, what good days could she have following him?

A Yang turned her head, no longer looking at Banlai.

Her eyes met with the woman beside the General, looking innocent, wanting desperately to tear her apart!

If it weren't for her presence, the General would have seen her!

Would, definitely, have!

"General, A Yang believes this princess from Great Xia doesn't deserve your heroic and mighty self! The Great Xia Emperor, sending such a frail princess for marriage, shows no regard for Bianliao Country!

Though A Yang is a woman, she has studied riding and archery since childhood to one day courageously kill enemies on the battlefield like you, slaughtering all Central Plains people!"

After saying this, A Yang raised her chin proudly, looking directly into Yun Chunnuan's eyes.

Particularly the words 'slaughtering all Central Plains people,' the hatred was practically written on her face!

"Good! A Yang sister speaks well! Worthy of our Bianliao women! Such spirit!"

"A Yang sister! I toast to you!"

After she spoke, she stirred the men's blood, all agreeing and even raising their bowls to toast her.

While kneeling, A Yang's back was straight, garnering the men's admiration.

A big man draped in tiger skin stepped forward, shouting, "General! I'm a rough man, don't know how to speak, nor understand that herb or not! But..."

He had not finished, when a cold voice interrupted.

"If you can't speak, shut up, no one's taking you for a mute!"

The big man: "..."

"General! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Yelv Lie wielded a faintly cold gaze, the bloodline's suppression made the man shut his mouth immediately.

He gave A Yang a sympathetic look, then slunk back among his brothers...
