In the evening, Yan Xuanye took Su Qian to have a barbecue on the lawn. From what he said, it seemed that he was recalling the days when he drank and had barbecue with his brothers in the north.

March and Gebru made a homemade "barbecue grill". Actually, it was not a barbecue grill, but a grill made of several slightly thicker branches.

The servants had cleaned up all kinds of prey, and the pheasants were coated with salt, pepper and other things. The fat sheep and foxes were now being hung on the racks for roasting.

"Seeing you guys are so familiar with it, I guess you must have eaten like this often in the past."

Ma Qi took a sip of wine and said, "Of course, we ate like this for at least five or six days out of ten, not to mention seven or eight."

"When we had nothing to do during the day, we would go hunting and horse racing together. At night, we would have a bonfire party, sit around and drink and barbecue. We were free back then, unlike now, when we are so busy every day."

Su Qian propped up her cheek and said nonchalantly, "Since you are having a good time in the north, why did you start a war and come to the Central Plains?"

In Su Qian's opinion, if Fengyuan Kingdom had not sent troops to attack Nanchang Kingdom, she would not have come here.

But now, she has not found a way to make Yan Xuanye withdraw his troops, and Lu Huan is unwilling to cooperate with her and even wants to kill her. She is really helpless.

The only option now is to stay by Yan Xuanye's side, firstly for safety reasons and secondly for mission considerations.

"We didn't want to mobilize a large army to attack Nanchang, but those people in Nanchang are really too much."

Su Qian asked: "How can you go too far?"

Ma Qi said: "The Central Plains is rich and has abundant resources. Although our grasslands are not as rich as the Central Plains, we have no worries about food and drink, and we live a carefree life. There are often economic and trade exchanges between the two countries.

It turned out that there was open trade, and people would often take the animals they hunted, conch shells, or some spices to the market to sell in exchange for some Central Plains silks and satins, women's jewelry and hairpins, or fruits and vegetables.

But those people from the Central Plains are becoming more and more arrogant. Not only do they lower the exchange rate, they also harass our border from time to time."

In fact, unlike Nanchang State, Fengyuan State did not have a prefect and a magistrate in charge of each city. Even in the townships, there were village heads who were in charge of the township affairs.

The Fengyuan Kingdom is located in the north. It is a gregarious tribe, and most of its people live on the grassland.

Only some businessmen live in the border areas close to Nanchang State.

The ruler of Nanchang was incompetent, arrogant, and dissolute. He did not care about the affairs of state at all, so that the border town became the ruler's own world.

He allowed his men to burn, kill and loot, and arbitrarily oppressed the people of Fengyuan State, causing chaos in the border area. There were frequent economic disputes between the two countries, and the people suffered terribly.

Therefore, when the two countries had a dispute, the Fengyuan people did not find out until quite late. By the time they found out, it had already had a great impact, and even caused some irreparable disasters.

Su Qian asked: "Then...if the ruler of Nanchang was a wise and brave monarch, you wouldn't attack Nanchang?"

Yan Xuanye glanced at her indifferently. He didn't know why he always felt that Su Qian was a little strange tonight. She kept leading the topic to the war. "That's how it is, but now that we have started this, it's not easy to back down."

Ge Bulu also said: "Yes, now we have captured thirteen cities in Nanchang State. If we withdraw our troops now, I don't know how people in the world will look at us."

Su Qian was silent. She knew that this matter was not so easy to handle. There was no rush. Just take it slow.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and Machi suddenly changed the subject, "Well, the goddess is asking because she cares about the people. Come on, let's have some wine."

With Machi livening up the atmosphere, everyone soon forgot about the topic.

They did not live in the tents at night. Those tents were only used for them to rest and change clothes during the day. Su Qian followed Yan Xuanye to the farm in the southern suburbs.

Although it was night, one could still see the spaciousness of the manor. Walking along the bluestone path to the courtyard, the maid slowly opened the dark red carved and hollowed-out door...

Su Qian followed Yan Xuanye into the courtyard and looked around casually. The house was exquisite and elegant, yet majestic and grand.

Famous paintings and calligraphy are hung on the walls all around, showing an elegant atmosphere. The tables and chairs are wiped very clean, and the incense burner on the table is burning with the scent of gardenia that Su Qian likes.

Although it was just a temporary residence, I took it very seriously and I think it was prepared a few days in advance.

Yan Xuanye pulled her to sit on his lap, slowly stroked her waist, and rubbed it hard twice, appearing very strong, "Do you like this farm?"

Facing his actions, Su Qian seemed a little uncomfortable, "Don't do this."

Yan Xuanye ignored her shyness and hugged her tighter, "I have something to ask you."

Su Qian lowered her head, her voice as small as a mosquito: "I like it."

"There is a spring on this farm. I ordered people to build two hot springs a few days ago." Yan Xuanye tried to ask her: "Let's go and try it together later?"

Su Qian suddenly raised her head and looked straight into his burning eyes, "Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Yan Xuanye took a deep breath and said, "I haven't forgotten."

His tone sounded as if he was trying his best to be patient, but the strength of the hug seemed to be squeezing her into his body, greedily breathing in the sweet scent of her body.

"You smell so good... Sometimes... it's really hard for me to resist. Sometimes I really want to ignore your wishes and take you hard."

As he spoke, his heavy breath spread over her neck and earlobes, bringing a tingling sensation. Su Qian couldn't help but push him hard twice, but she didn't push him...

He is always particularly domineering in matters like this.

"Today at the barbecue, I felt that there was something else behind your words..." Yan Xuanye liked this kind of hug very much. He felt that when two people were close together, their breathing and heartbeats would slowly become synchronized, making people feel very comfortable and cozy.

He rubbed his nose against Su Qian's neck, "How about... you talk to me and see if I can help you with anything."

Su Qian was silent for a moment.

Should I tell him? But he won't agree, and it's useless to tell him.

What if he doesn't agree? If he doesn't agree, you won't say it? What about the people? What about your mission? How do you get back to the modern world?

Seeing her silence, Yan Xuanye said again: "I will listen to your ideas very carefully."
