Then, the guards of the royal guard discovered that across from them, many herdsmen were holding square lunch boxes and eating happily.

The chopsticks picked up a full piece of meat and some juicy green chilies.

The guards who were escorting the supplies up the mountain were stunned.

"I've only ever seen chili peppers as a condiment on the royal table. And only royal banquets would use ingredients like this, acquired from merchants in foreign countries! How could anyone here enjoy it?"

Imported items like chili peppers are rare in Mi Country, and common people generally use ginger and garlic as seasoning.

"They eat white rice! The dishes taste so good, and there's egg drop soup!"

The guards looked at the wild vegetable steamed buns in the basket again, and in comparison, they suddenly wondered what these were that the king asked them to send!

They looked again and saw that the four strong men who helped distribute lunch boxes were silent, but they had smiles on their faces, as if they were trying hard to fit in.

Why do these four strong men look so much like the legendary Moon Tribe members!

Their voices immediately trembled: "Those who distribute meals to the herdsmen are from the Moon Tribe?"

"How could they be from the Moon Tribe? The goddess hired someone to impersonate them, to put on a show and trick the herdsmen, right?"

Seeing how obedient these Yue people were to Jiang Lili, Xiya began to suspect that these people were invited by Jiang Lili to act together. How could the Yue people be so polite to them, the herdsmen?

"Let's not talk about this for now."

The herdsmen who followed Xiya in refusing Jiang Lili's meal and waiting for the king to come for support now felt like a joke.

They asked unwillingly, "Brother Xiya, are we really just going to eat steamed buns with wild vegetables?"

The herdsmen had already swallowed their saliva several times at this time, and they felt so regretful!

In fact, Xiya was also very envious of the lunch boxes given by Jiang Lili and the others.

He swallowed quietly. Since he had already sided with the king, he had to stick with it until the end. "Do you think you still have the nerve to go over and collect the food they give you now?"

"And the goddess even promised that every meal in the future would have meat and chili peppers. That's too extravagant! I don't believe they're really that generous."

Master Liao was standing near Xiya and others at this time. He had originally come over to see what good things the king had given to the herdsmen.

But when he saw the basket of steamed buns and heard Xiya comment that the lunch boxes they gave to the herdsmen were "luxury", he couldn't hold it in any longer.

I never thought that my daily life would become what they call a luxury!

The more Xiya spoke, the more she felt that her guess was correct: "This meal was definitely carefully prepared to trick us into surrendering. Once we surrender to her and are trapped, we will definitely not eat this. Their food reserves will definitely not last for a few days."

After Xiya's analysis, the herdsmen immediately felt that it made sense. "If we eat the goddess's meal, it would be like accepting her bribe, and we would not be in the right."

The herdsmen led by Xiya tried hard to convince themselves.

My stomach was growling with hunger, so I had to grab the steamed buns in the basket and eat them with wild vegetables. There was not even anything to swallow, and the food was very dry. The more I chewed, the more I wanted to drink the egg drop soup in the hands of the herdsmen opposite. The more I chewed, the harder it was to swallow the steamed buns in my hand.

Jiang Lili observed Xiya's movements, and also noticed that the elderly, weak, women and children who were eating lunch boxes on her side, although they were eating happily, could not help but look at Xiya. It seemed that Xiya was carrying their husbands and sons.

They were always worried about whether their families were eating well, but they were embarrassed to mention it because of the attitude these people had just shown towards the two messengers.

Jiang Lili rolled her eyes and sent a message to Master Liao.

After receiving the news, Master Liao looked at the group of people eating steamed buns miserably, sighed, and asked a few shepherd boys to move the wooden barrel of soup to Xiya's side.

Seaweed egg drop soup is the favorite soup prepared by the school cafeteria. It is large in quantity, filling, delicious and economical.

But at this time, when it was placed in front of these herdsmen, it was like nectar.

Master Liao placed a stack of soup bowls in front of them. "Uncle, it turns out you don't like fried meat and rice, but prefer steamed bread. Drink it with the soup, and don't choke."

The herdsmen who were stuffing food into their mouths to relieve their hunger were very upset when they heard Master Liao's words. It's not that they don't like meat and prefer steamed buns to it!

Seeing Master Liao push the soup bowl in front of them and smelling the rich aroma of seaweed egg drop soup, everyone was shamefully moved!

Even the guards of the royal guard were no exception. Under the king's urging, they delivered supplies to the mountain without stopping for a moment. When they smelled the rich aroma of the soup, they really wanted to switch sides to the goddess.

Everyone looked hesitant.

Master Liao's face showed a puzzled expression. He tilted his head and acted cute, and said in a soft tone: "Do you need me to help you with the soup?"

Master Liao adorably measured the height of himself and the soup bucket in front of everyone. He frowned and said aggrievedly, "But I can't reach the spoon."

The series of actions of little Radish, who looks as cute as a New Year picture doll, has captured everyone's heart.

Little did they know that this little white radish hides a dark and cunning heart, and every move is planned in advance!

Master Liao is certainly not stupid enough to repay evil with kindness. He knows why Li Li asked him to do so.

Sure enough, after Master Liao's actions, the elderly, weak, women and children who were originally worried about their families having only steamed buns to eat, saw that the little envoy of God repaid evil with kindness, and they no longer worried about what their families would eat. They only felt guilty towards the goddess and the envoy of God!

This is what we call pattern!

In contrast, the herders now feel that Xiya, the herder leader, is not as good as they imagined. He leads the young herders to resist the goddess, but it does not seem like he is fighting for everyone's rights and treatment.

At this time, they began to teach their sons/grandsons a lesson without mercy:

"I'm not saying you're shameless. You just treated the little envoy like that. He's just a two-year-old, but you're being fussy. You're not even considering it. You're adults."

"They brought you soup, but you refused to drink it. You're wasting their kindness. Little angel, please ignore them. It's up to them to drink it or not!"

…

The people led by Xiya blushed at the scolding, and when they looked at the sincere and innocent face of the little messenger, they felt even more guilty.

"No, no, no, we'll serve the soup ourselves. Thank you, little angel!"

Master Liao gave them a way out, and the herdsmen stood up one after another to serve the soup.

After drinking a bowl of warm soup, they felt relieved immediately after almost choking to death on the steamed buns. Even though they were eating the steamed buns sent by the king, all they could think about was the good things that had happened to the gods and goddesses.

The previous tension gradually dissipated during this meal.

After dinner, Xiya watched as the positions of the two camps gradually became unclear. While the crowd was still gathering, he called out to Jiang Lili, "Goddess, where are the people you mentioned who actually stole the horses?"
