Shangguan Lingyun and Wang Xiao searched back and forth on the two roads for a long time, until it was dark, but they still didn't find any trace of Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Master, there's no need to look. We must have lost them. The Empress and the others may be resting somewhere."
"Master, we've been traveling all day. Even if you're not tired, the horse can't bear it."
"It's so dark now, let's find a place to rest first."
"When daybreak arrives, I will notify the nearby secret guards to help you search."
"Although the Queen is intelligent, there are only a few roads. As long as the Queen appears, our people will definitely find her."
Shangguan Lingyun frowned. He was not worried about being discovered by Ye Xiaoxiao. He was just worried that Ye Xiaoxiao would be in danger.
At this moment, Ye Xiaoxiao and Tianxuan, who they were worried about, were lying leisurely in a forest not far from the fork in the road.
"Tianxuan, did you bring the bow and arrows I asked you to bring?"
Tianxuan nodded, and Ye Xiaoxiao spoke to her with interest.
"I just looked at the surrounding terrain and saw quite a few tracks of wild animals. Go and kill a few and I'll make you something delicious."
Tianxuan took a look around and found that it was very safe, so he went to a place not far away to look for prey.
Ye Xiaoxiao started digging a hole using the tools prepared in advance in the system space.
"I haven't eaten wild game in a long time. I used to feel like vomiting when I saw it, but now I actually miss it a little."
After the pit was dug, the yellow mud was not wasted.
After fetching some water from a nearby stream and mixing the loose soil into mud, Ye Xiaoxiao began to prepare to make a fire.
There were plenty of dead branches nearby, so there was plenty of firewood without having to look for it specifically.
After gathering the firewood together, Ye Xiaoxiao lay in the carriage waiting for Tianxuan to come back.
Tianxuan didn't walk far before he saw a few wild rabbits. He picked up two fat ones and shot them, then carried them back to the carriage.
He went to the river and cleaned up the hare, then returned to Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Master, these two hares are enough, so we didn't catch any other prey."
"There were still quite a few mushrooms around, but many were poisonous. I was afraid of accidentally eating them, so I didn't pick any."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the two fat rabbits with satisfaction and nodded with a smile.
"Enough, enough, it's a waste if you can't finish it."
Tianxuan nodded, but she didn't know whether it was a waste of the prey or a waste of her time roasting the prey.
Soon, a dish called Flower Rabbit was ready.
Ye Xiaoxiao threw the rabbit covered with yellow mud into the fire and began to chat with Tianxuan.
Shangguan Lingyun couldn't find Ye Xiaoxiao, while Ye Xiaoxiao was leisurely eating game.
Wang Xiao looked at Shangguan Lingyun, who was becoming increasingly annoyed because he couldn't find Ye Xiaoxiao.
"Master, how about taking a rest for a while?"
Shangguan Lingyun was worried about Ye Xiaoxiao's safety, so he couldn't rest at all.
"Master, it's not a solution for you to continue like this."
Shangguan Lingyun still felt something was wrong.
"Stop talking nonsense and go to the two forks we came from."
Wang Xiao sighed and followed the carriage to the double fork entrance for the fifth time.
"Master, we have checked these two roads many times, and we haven't seen a single person, not even a mosquito."
As Wang Xiao was speaking, his nose suddenly twitched.
"Master, do you smell anything?"
Shangguan Lingyun was busy looking for someone at the moment and thought that Wang Xiao was hungry.
"There is dry food in the carriage. Eat it if you are hungry."
Wang Xiao was speechless for a moment, "Master, it's true, it seems to be the aroma of barbecue."
"No, smell it carefully. Maybe the Queen is roasting some wild game nearby."
Shangguan Lingyun heard it and began to carefully identify it.
Sure enough, there was a faint smell of meat in the air, as if it came from the woods beside the road.
Shangguan Lingyun narrowed his eyes slightly and winked at Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao immediately tied up the carriage, and then used his lightness skills to run towards the fragrance.
Since Tianxuan always felt that someone was following him when he left the city, Ye Xiaoxiao deliberately set up a trap at the fork in the road.
But perhaps she had stayed in the backyard for too long and had forgotten to hide the flames and the smell of meat.
Just as the two were enjoying their meal, Wang Xiao was hanging on the tree with a resentful look on his face.
Ye Xiaoxiao twitched her ears slightly and looked towards the tree, but Wang Xiao was no longer there.
"Strange, Tianxuan, did you feel someone coming here just now?"
Tianxuan shook his head, and Ye Xiaoxiao looked around again and stopped worrying about it.
After Wang Xiao left, he went straight to Shangguan Lingyun in the carriage.
"Master, it's the Empress and Tianxuan who are grilling meat."
Shangguan Lingyun felt relieved when he heard this.
"How could I forget? She said before that she was some amazing agent."
Wang Xiao: "Master, what is an agent?"
Shangguan Lingyun couldn't explain it clearly, but none of this mattered at the moment.
"Let's go find them."
Wang Xiao hesitated a little, "Master, the Queen is obviously avoiding you on purpose. Is it okay for us to go now?"
Shangguan Lingyun frowned, then urged Wang Xiao.
"Stop talking nonsense and go if you're told to."
Shangguan Lingyun originally planned to quietly chase Ye Xiaoxiao and catch up with her after she walked farther away.
But after what happened today, he was really worried, so he just went after him.
Wang Xiao curled his lips quietly, "The master has always been capricious since he got together with the queen."
Shangguan Lingyun's face darkened. "What do you know? Stop talking nonsense. If you lose Xiaoxiao again, you'll go back to the capital."
