According to the surviving Southern Barbarian soldiers, although the sandstorm blinded them and made them unable to see the way, they clearly saw that the ground was safe before they fell into the pit. It was rather strange that it suddenly fell after they stepped on it.
Chernan deliberately posed as if he wanted to admire the expressions of the Great Xia people who were like stray dogs. However, he didn’t get to see what he wanted to see. Instead, Ning Ansheng specially showed off in the subsequent negotiations.
“Everyone, you must be dry-mouthed and exhausted after talking for the entire day. Even you are considered guests. As the host, why don’t we let everyone try the recent specialties of Great Xia’s border city tonight?”
“Everyone, please take a look. This is the soldiers’ fast food rations.”
When they first heard the word “rations”, many of the Xiongnu people revealed disdainful expressions. What were rations? Wasn’t it just dry and barely edible food? Was Great Xia treating them with that on purpose?
Could it be that they knew that the Southern Barbarian matter was related to them?
Great Xia was too petty. They were using such a negligible method to vent their anger?
With such petty thoughts, the Xiongnu people saw the people of Great Xia bringing over sstrange things.
First, someone brought two bowls. One of them was filled with dry noodle cake. The Great Xia people poured hot water into it, then sprinkled spowder and dried vegetables before covering it again. The other bowl was filled with leftovers and other shriveled things that seemed to have been exposed to the wind and sun for many days. There was a large steamer in the middle of the table. The Great Xia people placed the leftovers into the steamer and poured water into the steamer at the bottom. They said, “Please wait a moment. It’ll be ready soon.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Xiongnu people complained in their hearts. They had used steamers before. There was no stove and no fire. Did they think they were fools to put the leftovers in and pretend to heat them up?
Today, the Xiongnu fools saw the people of Great Xia perform a trick in front of them.
After the dry noodles were soaked in hot water, they actually turned into a bowl of hot cooked noodles! The taste was fragrant! The steamer obviously did not light up to heat up, but it quickly began to emit water vapor!
They bent down almost at the stto look at the bottom of the table. After confirming that it was just an ordinary table and that there was no mechanism to hide the furnace under it, they could not help but wave their hands to eliminate the possibility of being deceived by the smokescreen. Then, they began to stare blankly.
“Everyone, don’t stand on ceremony. Eat.”
After saying that, Ning Ansheng and Dean Lu were the first to pick up their chopsticks and start eating heartily. The dining tables of Great Xia and Xiongnu were arranged separately. The room was huge, and Great Xia took up half of it while Xiongnu took up half. The dishes on the tables on both sides were a little different. Xiongnu people only ate fast food. Great Xia had Xiaoxiao’s braised pork, shredded potatoes, and pumpkin pancakes. The pickled vegetables were even more delicious and varied.
The Xiongnu people swallowed their saliva when they smelled the food. Although the food in their bowls was also fragrant, it could not compare to the exquisite and varied dishes opposite them. Look at how comfortable the people of Great Xia were. The food and drinks were things that they, Xiongnu, could not imagine. Could they be blamed for wanting to snatch them? Who would not be envious when they saw this? Back then, did the Southern Barbarians try their best to attack Great Xia just for the beauties and wine in the Imperial Capital?
Someone protested, “Why don’t we have any other dishes here?”
Ning Ansheng smiled. “Do you have any misunderstandings about our relationship?”
“How about this? After you sign the alliance agreement, we’ll immediately add dishes and serve wine to everyone. How about that?”
The Xiongnu people:… They’d better shut up.
Although they did not get to eat meat and vegetables, Great Xia’s “fast food rations” quickly conquered the Xiongnu people’s stomachs. The noodles that they thought were unpalatable and tasteless were chewy and the soup was rich. The one that they thought was leftovers was even more magical. As soon as the steamer was opened, the dried rice and vegetables were as full as air. The fresh and delicious food in their mouths was no different from freshly cooked food!
How could this be?
How could it be like this?
Did they have smisunderstanding about cooking? It turned out that noodles and rice only needed to be added with water bubbles to becdelicious… Bullsh*t! They didn’t cook much, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t have common sense! The people of Great Xia must have used sunique method!
They did not know the exact method, but it was f*cking delicious!
At the thought that not only did Great Xia’s soldiers not lack food, but they also ate so well every meal, the Xiongnu people felt very upset.
Didn’t the second prince say that Great Xia had been living a tough life all these years and didn’t have much food? They couldn’t bear the pressure of military supplies at all? How could they not see that?
After thinking about it, the Xiongnu people still felt unhappy. Hence, he said sarcastically, “The officials of Great Xia are indeed particular. The soldiers who risked their lives for their future have just eaten their fill, but you’re already willing to spend a huge amount of manpower and financial resources to transport these fresh vegetables and meat for yourselves.”
Oh, you even knowhow to sow discord?
Ning Ansheng was enjoying his sister’s braised pork. When the others in the negotiation team heard that this question was so easy that Mr. Lu and his disciple didn’t need to do anything, they hurriedly spoke.
“No, no. Fellow envoys, you might not know, but this meat was hunted by the guards when they cout to look for food a few days ago. Today, everyone will have extra dishes. After all, we will only have the strength to continue fighting those jackals, tigers and leopards after eating.”
The Xiongnu jackals, tigers and leopards were speechless.
They were not convinced!

The negotiation team shook their heads again. “No, no. Your experiences are limited, so we won’t bicker with you. However, these vegetables were really planted in the fields of this city.”
They finally had a chance to show off. They were so excited! They had to say more!
“Besides, why do you have to worry about us wasting our money? If you’re really so kind, why don’t you sign the alliance agreement early?”
The Xiongnu people: [… Can’t you leteat properly?}
Although they criticized them in their hearts, they still finished the food in their bowls. After eating, they even moved closer to the steamer, clearly wanting to see what was going on.
“The commander and deputy general are back!”
The soldier’s words outside the door caused the atmosphere in the room to change. The Xiongnu people were looking forward to it and gloating. The envoys of Great Xia maintained their calm expressions, but quietly clenched their fists in their sleeves.
As the oldest and most calm person here, Dean Lu was the first to ask, “How is it?”
The soldier stuck his head in with a smile on his face. “We returned victorious!”
The Xiongnu people’s faces instantly drooped. Everyone in Great Xia was unhappy. Why were the Xiongnu people pulling a long face?
They immediately put away the table. They knew that the Xiongnu people were curious and wanted to see it, so they wouldn’t let them. What could they do!
Recalling the Third Prince’s instructions, a representative in the negotiation team cleared his throat. “That’s true. That Southern Barbarians exposed their whereabouts 160 km away. Of course, he can’t escape the pursuit of our Great Xia soldiers!”
As expected, the Xiongnu people’s attention was attracted.. “What are you bragging about? Do you think the people of Great Xia are all clairvoyants?”
