The night in southern Xinjiang always comes quickly.
Another day passed, and Pei Yun planned to set off back to Jingchao tomorrow.
Aina was reluctant to leave, but she also knew that she could not keep Pei Yun because he was married and she only gave her body to Pei Yun because of love.
Now that she has become the chief, she also has to deal with trade with the Jing Dynasty, so she can only stay in southern Xinjiang.
A bonfire has been lit in the central square of the royal court. Since Pei Yun is leaving tomorrow, a farewell party will be held tonight.
The firewood crackled and sparks flew, illuminating the faces of the chiefs sitting around.
Aina sat in the main seat, wearing the great chief's animal skin cloak. The silver ornaments flickered in the firelight, making her features look picturesque yet with an inviolable majesty.
Pei Yun sat next to her, holding a glass of fruit wine specially made in southern Xinjiang. It tasted sour and sweet and had a good taste.
He was in a good mood. Although this mission to the Southern Barbarians had some twists and turns, it was relatively smooth. He completed the mission successfully and also gained Aina.
Although the other party relied on the love Gu rather than the emotional foundation, Pei Yun had to admit that under the effect of the love Gu, he experienced unprecedented happiness.
All his senses and enjoyments were amplified, and he was a little afraid that his threshold would be raised too high and he would feel nothing afterwards.
"Master Pei."
Wu Xi raised his glass. Previously, he gave up the position of chief to his son and asked him to compete for the position of great chief. After failing, Wu Xi became chief again.
"This is a cup. Thank you for helping us cure the Black Death and saving the lives of our people. From now on, you will be our tribe's eternal friend. You are always welcome to come."
The other chiefs also raised their glasses. Although they had thanked Pei Yun before, it was not in a formal occasion. Pei Yun would be leaving tomorrow, so they would take this dinner as an opportunity to formally thank him.
Pei Yun smiled and nodded, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Pei." Aina spoke, looking at Pei Yun without blinking.
"Dance with me."
Pei Yun was startled, then shook his head, "I can't dance."
"I'll teach you."
Aina said as she stood up and extended her hand to Pei Yun.
Amid the jeers of the clan leaders, Pei Yun had no choice but to stand up, holding Ayina's hand and walking to the campfire. However, he really had no talent for dancing, and even when Ayina taught him, he still looked clumsy.
But Aina really enjoyed it. Afterwards, Pei Yun returned to his seat, and Aina danced for him alone.
The dances in southern Xinjiang are not as seductive, but they are just as beautiful.
Leng Qingqiu saw Pei Yun staring at Ayi Na intently, so he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You like watching dancing so much, do you want me to dance a sword dance for you?"
Pei Yun was speechless. Sword dance again. Is this the only one you can do?
But he still said, "Okay." He also wanted to see what was so special about Leng Qingqiu's sword dance.
Leng Qingqiu raised a smile and said, "I'll dance for you when there's no one around. They're not worthy of watching my sword dance."
Pei Yun's face twitched. You are quite arrogant.
However, considering that the other party was a top-notch master, these chiefs did not seem worthy of watching.
When Aina finished her dance, everyone cheered. As the most beautiful woman in southern Xinjiang, her dancing was indeed beautiful, and she was a pleasure to watch.
When Ayi Na returned to her seat, Pei Yun also praised her a few words. Ayi Na felt sweet at once. Others' praises were hundreds and thousands, but none could compare to Pei Yun's one word.
Tonight is the last night with Pei Yun, and Aina decides to make Pei Yun happier.
…
The bonfire gradually died down and the party ended.
Pei Yun returned to the bamboo building, followed by Aina. After they entered the house, Aina couldn't wait to hug Pei Yun's neck and gave him a sweet kiss.
The moonlight shone through the gaps in the bamboo window, and Aina's silver jewelry and Pei Yun's clothes were scattered all over the floor.
Pei Yun felt that Ayi Na was really energetic and came every night. If he was not already a third-rate warrior and the emergence of internal energy made him physically strong, he really would not be able to cope with Ayi Na's enthusiasm.
After a long time, the two figures that were close to each other finally separated.
With the candle burning, Ayi Na put on her clothes and stood up. She took out a delicate leather bag from her waist and handed it to Pei Yun. "Brother Pei, I don't have anything to give you. This bag contains the essential medicinal powder for our long journey in southern Xinjiang. It can drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants, prevent miasma, and can also treat abdominal pain."
"As long as you carry this skin with you, poisonous creatures will not come near you."
"Oh, so magical?"
Pei Yun took the leather bag, untied the bag, and poured out a little. The powder was grayish white and had a faint herbal scent.
Seeing Pei Yun was somewhat interested, Ayi Na smiled and said, “The powder is a mixture of various medicinal herbs, as well as frost.”
"Frost?"
Ayi Na nodded and poured out some white crystal particles from another leather bag. "This is it."
Pei Yun took it and looked at it, and suddenly became excited.
"This is not frost, it's saltpeter."
"Salt?"
Aina was a little confused, having never heard of this word before, but seeing Pei Yun's excitement, she guessed that it might be a good thing.
But isn't this 'Frost' used to relieve abdominal pain? Pei Yun has so many magical pills, why would he be interested in this white stone?
Pei Yun suppressed his excitement. Ever since he knew that Xiao Cheng had ill intentions towards him, Pei Yun had become alert and wanted to make gunpowder.
But there was no saltpeter for sale online, so Pei Yun drew a picture and asked the people in the cottage to look for it, but there was no news.
There is no saltpeter near Ruifeng County.
Sulfur is available online, and charcoal is also easy to get, but I don’t know where to find saltpeter. I didn’t expect that my last night in southern Xinjiang would bring me such a big surprise.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It’s even more exciting later!
