Xiao Yunchen leaned against the thick roots of the old tree.
Ru Liu sat next to him and whispered, "Master, it seems like Zheng Hongye still hasn't given up completely. Even after all this, he still won't say anything."
"If one plan fails, we'll try another. If we want him to abandon his loyalty to the master and submit to us, we need to keep pressing him."
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded, and they came galloping like the wind.
"Whoa--" Rufeng reined in the horse and jumped off its back.
As he untied the bundle on his horse's back, he said, "Sir, I went to the village ahead and asked for directions. We went in the wrong direction last night and headed west."
When Ru Liu heard what he said, she couldn't help but mutter, "I was wondering why it became more and more desolate the further we went. Before, there was still some greenery, but now it's just dead trees and wasteland."
Xiao Yunchen took the package from Rufeng and said, "Eat first. We can discuss other matters after Qingyan and the others come back."
Ru Liu and Ru Feng answered in unison: "Yes!" They followed Xiao Yunchen and walked into the cave with their backs bent.
Xiao Yunchen came and sat down next to Li Sisi. As soon as he unpacked the package, he smelled the aroma of food.
A dozen or so pancakes rolled with green onions and a large bowl of fried meat.
Li Sisi was instantly awakened by the fragrance.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunchen took out some meat and said gently, "Are you hungry? There's nothing good here, just eat what you have."
Li Sisi didn't hesitate and picked up a pancake rolled with green onions and started eating.
Listening to Xiao Yunchen continue to say: "I asked Qingyan and the others to bring back some roast chicken and cakes when they come back. You can eat this first."
Li Sisi said "hmm" and watched Xiao Yunchen take the green onions out of the pancake while eating.
He stopped her by saying, "Scallions are the soul of this pancake. It's delicious. Try it."
Xiao Yunchen frowned: "I don't like eating raw green onions, they taste terrible."
"It's delicious!" Li Sisi took the pancake from Xiao Yunchen's hand, rolled it up again for him, and stuffed it back into his hand. "Trust me! It's definitely delicious!"
Xiao Yunchen smelled the green onion, frowned and took a bite.
The unique taste of green onions stimulates the taste buds, and the spicy taste spreads in the mouth.
Xiao Yunchen said with disdain: "It's not tasty."
Li Sisi continued to encourage: "That's because you're not used to it. You'll appreciate its deliciousness if you eat it more."
Xiao Yunchen glanced at her and continued eating obediently.
Li Sisi watched him eat slowly, and he ate the simple coarse food with an elegant temperament.
But he probably really couldn't accept it. His clear eyes gradually became watery, and he looked well-behaved and aggrieved.
He frowned and whispered, "It smells so strong, it hurts my eyes."
Li Sisi looked away and coughed awkwardly twice: "Well, if you really can't get used to it, then don't eat it."
"It's okay, sister is right, you'll just get used to it." After Xiao Yunchen said that, he took another big bite and continued eating.
The sun gradually retreated to the west, and half of the golden disk was blocked by the distant mountains, dyeing that part of the sky dark red.
There were bursts of rapid horse hooves sounds.
Finally, we stopped under a dead tree not far from the cave.
