Chapter 151 What I dreamed about
"You Western Xia people are so vicious," Peony pouted angrily. "My young lady saved you."
"If it weren't for saving you, we would have left last night."
"You actually want us to die with you?"
"That still can't compare to the viciousness of you Dongling people, who would even assassinate your own nation's war god, tsk tsk tsk..."
"Alright, you two, stop arguing."
"Right now, let's see how to resolve this predicament."
"They shouldn't have gone far. I'll go after them right away." Haitang gripped her sword and prepared to leave.
“They’re riding horses, and you’re running? You won’t catch up before they go far,” Tuoba Yan’er said. “I think we should just wait here.”
"If someone comes, we'll rob their carriage; if no one comes, they can just starve to death."
"If you want to wait to die, then wait for yourself. We're not going to wait with you."
"Hey, you little brat, I'm a princess, how dare you talk to me like that?"
“My master is here.” Peony pointed to Jiang Wanning.
"Stop fooling around, you two," Haitang said, frowning.
The two fell silent, and Tuoba Yan'er couldn't help but ask, "Has your princess given up, or has she already made up her mind?"
She noticed that Jiang Wan Ning had been resting with her eyes closed for quite a while.
Begonia and Peony were also unsure. "The princess barely slept last night because she was trying to save you," Begonia said.
Tuoba Yan'er's expression shifted slightly. "Mind your own business."
Peony was about to retort, but Begonia stopped her with a look. Since things had already come to this, it would be better to let the princess rest for a while.
Jiang Wan Ning slept peacefully, while the other three gradually became anxious.
Tuoba Yan'er touched her rumbling stomach and couldn't help but say, "No, do you really want to give up like this?"
Jiang Wan Ning then opened her eyes, smiled at Tuoba Yan'er, and said, "How about I treat you to hot pot?"
Upon hearing the words "hot pot," Tuoba Yan'er swallowed hard.
He licked his lips. "You can conjure up this place?"
Tuoba Yan'er glanced at the three of their bundles.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll treat you to hot pot. Just tell me how we're going to get out of here."
"Or, bring out your horse."
As soon as Jiang Wan Ning finished speaking, all three of them were shocked.
"No, the princess still has a horse?" Peony exclaimed in surprise, "She was almost chopped up."
Tuoba Yan'er looked Jiang Wan Ning up and down, "How did you know I have a horse?"
After saying that, he belatedly covered his mouth, thus easily revealing that he did indeed have a horse.
"Just tell me, do you agree or disagree?" Jiang Wan Ning said, then instructed Shao Yao to bring out the hot pot ingredients.
Check what ingredients are in the kitchen and prepare them.
They left in a hurry, so they definitely couldn't take everything from the kitchen. Places like this usually stock up on a lot of food at once.
It must have been hidden.
They'll be back in a few days, and they certainly won't have destroyed everything.
Soon, Peony prepared a table full of food.
"Your Highness, you guessed right. They stored all their food in the cellar in the backyard, including lots of vegetables and other things."
"That cellar can preserve food; it's no problem to store it for a month."
Jiang Wan Ning sat down at the table and started eating hot pot.
The aroma of hot pot wafted into Tuoba Yan'er's nostrils. She was already hungry and craving it, and now her mouth was watering uncontrollably.
"Oh, this new hot pot base smells so good." Peony always looks like she's enjoying her food.
He even deliberately tried to seduce Tuoba Yan'er.
Tuoba Yan'er couldn't resist any longer. She quickly got off the bed and rushed to the table.
"Please, don't kill me with a hot pot knife."
As she picked up her chopsticks to grab some food, Jiang Wan Ning used her own chopsticks to stop Tuoba Yan'er's chopsticks. "Are you willing to talk now?"
Tuoba Yan'er sighed, "You're really shrewd."
She had originally planned to sneak away while they weren't looking.
"Okay, I admit I have a horse, but you have to promise me one more thing."
Seeing that Jiang Wan Ning didn't speak, Tuoba Yan'er said to herself, "Tell me your hot pot recipe."
"I can't tell you that, but I can consider opening one in your Western Xia."
"Can I become a shareholder? It's free, I can eat as much as I want." Tuoba Yan'er's eyes lit up immediately.
While talking, he quickly grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth when no one was looking.
His face turned red from the heat, his tongue was throbbing, and his whole body contorted in pain.
Peony laughed gleefully.
Even the usually taciturn Haitang couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Wan Ning poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it over.
Tuoba Yan'er, holding the teacup, didn't even have time to say thank you before downing it in one gulp.
After a moment, he said, "For the sake of the hot pot, I'll take you to find my horse after we finish eating."
After the group finished eating, Tuoba Yan'er led the three of them for about ten miles and they arrived at a dilapidated house.
"No, there aren't any horses here."
"Don't worry, wait a moment, it's gone to eat, it'll be back soon."
Tuoba Yan'er said confidently, "But I'm curious, how did you know I have a horse?"
A normal person wouldn't think that, because she had been trapped for so long, even if she had a horse, it would have either starved to death or been lost.
"It is said that there is a very skilled horse trainer in your Western Xia. The horses he trains not only recognize their master, but can also understand what their master says."
"If a horse can survive on its own in the place designated by its master for a period of time, and there is really no place for it to survive in the surrounding area, then it will return to Xixia to find help."
"You even know this?" Tuoba Yan'er looked shocked. "There are very few people in our Western Xia who know about this."
How did you know?
"I dreamed about it," Jiang Wanning replied dismissively.
In her previous life, Tuoba Yan'er also escaped, only a little later than now.
The horse must have run back on its own because it couldn't wait for its master, and Tuoba Yan'er was rescued by the Western Xia Kingdom.
As they were talking, the sound of horses neighing came from outside.
"Swift Wind!" Tuoba Yan'er shouted in surprise and rushed into the courtyard outside.
The horse excitedly circled around when it saw its owner.
He lowered his head and licked Tuoba Yan'er's cheek.
"What a fine horse!" Even Jiang Wan Ning couldn't help but exclaim.
Tuoba Yan'er's mother was a beautiful silver steed.
"There's only one horse, how are the four of us going to get there?" Peony looked at the horse in the yard.
"You can look down on me, but you can't look down on my Gale," Tuoba Yan'er said. "Today I will show you the power of Gale."
Tuoba Yan'er whispered something in the horse's ear, and the horse turned and left.
Before long, they actually brought back the horses belonging to Jiang Wan Ning and the other two.
“Those guys have horses, they must have hidden yours. I sent Gale to find them.”
"It can sense where there are horses nearby."
"No, what kind of look is that?" Tuoba Yan'er looked at Jiang Wan Ning's burning gaze as she stared at Ji Feng.
It felt like a thief spotting jewels.
"Cough cough..." Jiang Wan Ning walked towards Ji Feng, "Let's go."
After saying that, he climbed up.
