On the night of the full moon, Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun rode to the Firefly Valley. Handan Chun was surprisingly quiet all the way, as if he already knew what was about to happen. When he left, he just asked Yang Ruoning where he was going at night, and then set off with her.

"You already know, don't you?" Yang Ruoning asked Handan Chun.

"Well, it looks like you know that, too." Handan Chun was a little careless.

"Who told you?" She asked.

"Shaman's mother-in-law."

"What did the shaman say?"

"She said there could be a bloody plague tonight."

"What do you think will happen tomorrow when we go back?" Yang Ruoning asked again.

“…… I don't know. ”

"You'd better be mentally prepared, Handan Chun. If Azi dies, you will be a Khan. ”

"If I become king, do you want to be my princess?"

"Hehe, you can still joke at this moment, yes, you have a good mentality," Yang Ruoning patted him and encouraged.

"I'm serious," Handan Chun turned his head to look at her. Yang Ruoning saw sincerity in his sparkling eyes.

"Why? Because I'm ...... Different? ”

"yes, life wouldn't be so boring if you were there."

"Ha, thank you for your high opinion of me, although I don't think so. However, I said that I had to go back to Bianliang because I still had important things to do. ”

"Oh?"

"There's my family there, I'm going back to him."

"Oh...... Handan Chun replied and then fell silent for a while. Suddenly he asked again, "If I can, can I go back with you?" “

Yang Ruoning thought for a while, "Okay, give yourself a vacation before taking office, I think this can be had." ”

With that, the two of them fell silent again, each thinking about their own thoughts. Suddenly, Handan Chun asked again, "Do you think I can do it?" ”

"I don't know, but I know you have a lot of people to help you, and you're a good guy."

"Does a good man have to be a good emperor?"

"Not necessarily, but the bad guy must not be a good emperor."

"I want to be a good king......"

"It's a goal worth working on."

When Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun quietly returned early the next morning, they found that the people of the entire tribe had already started a new day as usual. Some people went to mow the grass with baskets on their backs, some people went to draw water, and some people drove cattle and sheep to the distant grasslands, and there was no sign that anything unusual happened here last night.

Didn't they come? Yang Ruoning and Handan Chun were full of question marks. As they led their horses through the woods, they saw a cart of corpses walking towards a mass grave at the other end of the forest.

After some inquiry, it turned out that a small group of people had attacked the garrison last night in an attempt to rescue the group of prisoners. However, fortunately, they were few and weak, and they were quickly wiped out.

"What about the captives?" Yang Ruoning asked.

The man pointed to the stacks of corpses on the flatbed, "It's all here," he said.

Yang Ruoning lowered her head, and the feeling of powerlessness began to spread in her body again, and soon, her heart became heavy. She looked up and let out a long sigh.

"Let's go," she said to Handan. "There are many good things, and besides, it is such a great thing as being able to be a king."

Handan Chun rolled his eyes, "Don't forget that you promised me that you would take me to Bianliang no matter what." ”

*************

Last night's small riot took place on the other side of the tribe, closer to King Azie's tent. As she passed, she saw scorched marks and broken tents, and everything remained the same on her and Handan Chun's side.

After settling Blake, Yang Ruoning went to find the shaman's mother-in-law.

In the shaman's tent, the maidservants came and went, much busier than usual.

The shaman's mother-in-law is not there. Yang Ruoning saw one of her usual maids, so she went over to ask her.

The maid was very busy, and while she put some gray powdery things into a delicate jade box, she said to Yang Ruoning in stiff Chinese, "No, no"

"Mother-in-law, where have you been? When will I be back? ”

"Ahh......hh The maid pointed to her stomach and seemed to tell Yang Ruoning that someone was injured.

"Oh, so my mother-in-law went to heal someone?" She asked.

The maid nodded.

"Oh, I see, then I'll come back later," Yang Ruoning responded, ready to go back.

"Ahh......h The maid screamed again, she stuffed the jade box into Yang Ruoning's hand, and gestured for a long time. Only then did Yang Ruoning know that she wanted to let herself send this thing over to the shaman's mother-in-law now.

Yang Ruoning nodded, "Where are you going to send it?" ”

"Khan...... Azie ......"

Yang Ruoning suddenly understood, "Khan is injured? ”

The maid nodded.

So it was, it was King Azi who was wounded. Don't......? Did those men really slash King Azi with the knife they gave them? Thinking about it, her heart quickened with excitement.

"How did you get hurt?" Yang Ruoning asked.

The maid shook her head in disagreement.

Before turning to leave, Yang Ruoning suddenly asked her again, "What is the powder in this box?" ”

The maid pointed to the place where the fire was burning under the stove.

Yang Ruoning frowned and shook her head in confusion. The maid walked over and crouched down, and brought some plant ash from the stove, and she pointed to the powder.

A

e you se

🤔 Is this serious? Yang Ruoning's eyes widened in surprise. Do you mean that you want me to take those ashes to King Ace to heal his wounds? What the hell is going on...... yes, what the hell is this saving people? Or is it harming people?

The blood vessels in his temples began to jump suddenly. 、

She quickly said goodbye to the maid, and walked towards Archie's tent with the ashes in hand.

*******************

King Ace's Tent.

After Yang Ruoning handed the small box containing the ashes to the shaman's mother-in-law, she retreated to the corner.

King Azi was naked, and there was a wound of about ten centimeters on the right side of his abdomen. The surface of the wound had been cleaned, and it was not clear the depth of the wound from such a distance, but it seemed to be fine, because at this time King Aqi was holding the wine jug in one hand and the beautiful singer in the other, and he was in high spirits.

Yang Ruoning saw the shaman's mother-in-law take the small medicine box, scoop up some powder with a small spoon, and sprinkle it evenly on the bare wound, then she grabbed some mashed herbs and applied them thickly, and finally wrapped them in a white cloth.

"Khan, who is the distinguished guest from the south?" The singer actually spoke Chinese.

"Huh, guess? His name is also well-known in the grassland. ”

"There is only one person who is also well-known in the grassland, and the slave family only knows one, and that is Luo Yuan, General Luo."

"Exactly. General Luo is going to visit the day after tomorrow, I will set up a banquet to entertain you, you have to behave well, don't lose face to this king. ”

"The slave family must show their housekeeping skills and give General Luo a dance."

Hearing that name, Yang Ruoning froze in place. Someone she thought she would never see again in this life suddenly appeared.

Is he coming the day after tomorrow? Why did he come here? Yang Ruoning fell into the memory, and it was not until the shaman's mother-in-law touched her that she came to her senses and followed her mother-in-law out of the tent.

"Is this your plan?" Shaman's mother-in-law asked.

Yang Ruo stared at her, not knowing why.

"The men stabbed Azie with a rusty knife." The shaman's mother-in-law said, "A Han female slave was seen serving food to the captives. ”

"So, do they think I gave the knife?"

"You have to be glad you gave you a knife that has lost its edge. Otherwise, you'd already be lying in that grave pit. ”

"Azie's wounds...... Is it deep? ”

"Does it matter?"

"Yes."

"The wound isn't shallow, but it looks like it's fine." The shaman's mother-in-law paused, stared at her and asked, "So did the plan succeed?" ”

"I don't know, the rest is God's will." Yes, now it's time to wait for those amazing bacteria to do their job.

"Mother-in-law, when is the next time you change your dressing?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Can I help deliver the medicine?" She shouted at the shaman's back.

"God's will, how dare the old woman disobey?"
