Baise got up, took the chili jar from Wen Nuan's hand, and poured it onto the barbecue.

Tonight, she wants to eat spicy food, lots and lots of spicy food.

Dinner was ready, and everyone looked at the roasted meat covered in chili peppers on the table.

"Too much spice."

"How are we supposed to eat this?"

"I can't eat spicy food,"

"I can eat a little, but it smells spicy. Achoo!"

How are we supposed to eat this?

"Why can't I eat it? It tastes great to me." Baise took a big bite of mutton, her eyes wide.

He swallowed the meat in his mouth forcefully, suppressing the urge to cough, "It's not spicy."

He had barely finished speaking when he picked up the water bag and took a big gulp of water.

It's so spicy!

"Spicy is delicious too." Tie Yi picked up a skewer a moment later and took a bite.

Cough cough cough...

Ye Yunniang handed over a water bag, and then silently handed water bags to everyone else.

"Rinse it before eating," Ye Yunniang said, pouring water into a bowl and rinsing the roasted meat.

It's mild, but still spicy.

Some followed Ye Yunniang's method, rinsing the meat in the broth before eating. Others felt the meat wouldn't taste good that way and insisted on not rinsing it.

Take a bite of grilled meat and a sip of water.

I'm full from drinking before I've eaten.

At night, people kept getting up to relieve themselves, and some even got stomach aches as a result.

As dawn broke, half the group looked listless. The other half, who had eaten hot pot, were in slightly better spirits.

After packing up their camp supplies, the group boarded the carriage and continued their journey towards Qingchao.

Because of discomfort, they walked slowly.

That evening, when Baise asked for spicy food, Wen Nuan refused, not wanting to get up to use the restroom again.

While it was warm and people weren't paying attention, Baise poured a lot of it into the mutton soup.

During the meal, everyone noticed that the roasted meat was fine and didn't pay much attention to the mutton soup.

I picked up the bowl and took a bite.

Cough cough cough...

"Baise...cough cough...you behind my back...how much chili you poured into the pot...cough cough cough cough..." Wen Nuan couldn't continue and went to the side to cough wildly.

The others weren't much better off.

Ye Yunniang also drank a big mouthful of mutton soup, and then she kept coughing.

Drinking water is no use, it's too spicy.

That night, everyone went through the same routine: get up to relieve themselves, go back to their tents to lie down, get up to relieve themselves, go back to their tents to lie down.

I tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well.

No one on the team got enough rest.

Bearing the gaze of the entire team, Tie Yi advised Baise to wait until they returned to Beijiang City before eating spicy food.

These people are no good; they'll cause trouble if they encounter danger.

"What danger could we possibly encounter?" Baise didn't believe it.

"In the State of Yan, we must proceed with caution."

"Okay." Baise no longer wants to eat spicy food.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing they could sleep soundly that night.

In the middle of the night, Ye Yunniang opened her eyes and sensed something was wrong outside. She reached out and nudged Wen Nuan beside her.

"How,"

Ye Yunniang covered her mouth, "Something's not right outside, speak softly."

Warmly nodded, indicating that she understood.

Ye Yunniang took out a dagger from under her pillow. Wen Nuan grasped the kitchen knife under her pillow.

The two carefully approached the tent entrance and looked outside.

The fire's dim light revealed that the watchmen had been bound. Others were still searching.

Ye Yunniang and her warm tent were at the very back, hidden by a car. They hadn't been discovered yet.

"Look," Wen Nuan whispered, reminding Ye Yunniang to look in a certain direction.

Ye Yunniang looked over and recognized two of the enemies.

The human trafficker—the monkey, and the kidnapped swallow, Chunyan.

The monkey is inspecting the confiscated items.

Chunyan, holding a knife, was completely devoid of her previous innocence and kindness. She looked sinister, the tip of the knife pointed at Baise, as she spoke.

I was too far away to hear what she was saying.

Baise leaned against Tie Yi's chest, her gaze falling on Ye Yunniang and Wen Nuan.

They exchanged a glance and ran.

“Let’s go,” Warmth said decisively.

Ye Yunniang agreed.

If the two are no match for each other, the best course of action is to run away and leave.

The two grabbed a few things, lifted the tent flap, and left.

It was dark, and no one noticed them fleeing.

Ye Yunniang and Wen Nuan didn't know how long they had been running.

The sky gradually brightened.

"I'm not running anymore, I can't run anymore," Wen Nuan called out to Ye Yunniang ahead.

"Okay." Ye Yunniang gasped for breath, swallowing to relieve her parched throat.

"What do we do?" Wen Nuan's mind was in a mess.

"Find a way to save them." Ye Yunniang didn't hesitate for a moment. On the grasslands of Yan Kingdom, it would be difficult for them to survive.

"How do we save him? With my kitchen knife and your dagger?" Wen Nuan said, brandishing the kitchen knife in her hand a couple of times.

"Let's find something to eat first." After running all night, the two were exhausted and hungry.

Wen Nuan recognized many wild vegetables, and the two dug some together.

Without fire, there is only life and death.

After relieving their hunger, the two discussed how to rescue the people.

"I have some poison on me." Ye Yunniang took out the sleeping potion from her hand. It was given to her by Jiang Mingzhe when she left.

"I have chili powder." Wen Nuan was afraid that Baise would put it back into the pot, so she hid it on her body.

"I have an idea."

What are your thoughts?

"us,"

The moment she opened her mouth, a large net fell. Wen Nuan and Ye Yunniang were trapped inside.

Then several burly men jumped out and laughed loudly at them.

Wen Nuan and Ye Yunniang struggled to break free and were tied up and thrown onto the horse.

The horse's swaying made Ye Yunniang feel like she was about to vomit.

Just as Ye Yunniang was about to lose her temper, the horse stopped.

Ye Yunniang lost her balance and fell headfirst.

Just as she was about to fall to her death, a long, strong hand caught Ye Yunniang.

"Ye Yunniang, I saved you again." The familiar tune rang out.

Ye Yunniang looked up. "Tong Mo, what are you doing here? Are Pan'er and the others alright?"

Tong Mo carefully put Ye Yunniang down, holding her in his arms. "I've come to find you. Your sons are all doing well."

"Master Bao, you won't be allowed to come to Yan Kingdom so easily. How did you get here?"

“I have legs, he can’t keep me locked up.” Tong Mo ignored Bao Min’s words.

"Thank you for coming to save me."

"A simple thank you is all?"

"I agree to marry him." Ye Yunniang's words made Tong Mo's smile disappear.

He's not someone you should entrust your life to. He's not a good man.

"For so many years, you've remained chaste for him, raising his son. But I investigated him in Yan. He's a womanizer, and he has no fewer than ten women in his harem."

Tong Mo said anxiously, "If Ye Yunniang chooses him, you can forget about having a peaceful life in your next life. You'll have to compete with other women for her affections, and you'll have to scheme every day. You'll also have to guard against those women harming your son."

"I believe him." Ye Yunniang's words left Tong Mo speechless, unable to say anything more.

Tong Mo looked at Ye Yunniang in front of him, "You really infuriate me, you," gritted his teeth, snatched the horse from the side, mounted it, and galloped away into the distance.

Warmth walked over and said, "You're amazing, you're so lucky."

Not only did Jiang Mingzhe fall for her, but the prefect's nephew also fell deeply in love with her.

"This blessing is for you."

Wen Nuan shook her head, "No, I can't take it."

Warmth knows her place; neither of these two is someone to be trifled with.
