After a while, the aroma of beggar's chicken spread along with the fragrance of lotus leaves.
After eating the grilled fish, Bei Lingyao and Emperor Daoyuan moved the fire and taro aside and gently removed the layer of soil on top.
"Wow, it smells so good."
Bei Lingyao hasn't eaten beggar's chicken for a long time.
Emperor Daoyuan opened the mud shell, and a rich aroma filled his nose, making him very hungry.
Emperor Daoyuan's appetite was also aroused. He had never been a person who cared much about food, but now he was also infected by Bei Lingyao and could not resist the temptation of delicious food.
Two people each eat one.
The Lotus Fragrance Beggar Chicken is crispy, tender and smooth when eaten, with a golden color, and a salty, fragrant, and crunchy taste.
Bei Lingyao is a bit picky about food. She doesn't eat chicken heads or necks. She puts the pheasant claws aside because they are too hard to chew, and she throws the chicken butt directly into the small hole.
Seeing Emperor Daoyuan looking over, Bei Lingyao asked, "Your Majesty, would you like to eat?"
Emperor Daoyuan broke off two chicken legs and gave them to Bei Lingyao, "If the Imperial Master doesn't want to eat them, then give them to me."
If you eat like the Imperial Master, there won’t be much left to eat from a chicken.
"No, I don't eat much, so I'm full after eating these. There are also taro. I'll eat one, and the rest will be left to the emperor."
Bei Lingyao did not take the two chicken legs handed to him by Emperor Dao Yuan, but instead gave the chicken neck and chicken feet to Emperor Dao Yuan.
Emperor Daoyuan grew up in a Taoist temple and served as emperor for eight years, but he did not have the slightest habit of living a life of luxury.
He didn't dislike the chicken necks and chicken feet given by Bei Lingyao at all. He ate them elegantly, attentively and seriously, showing respect for the food.
Bei Lingyao smiled slightly and ate the beggar's chicken in her hand.
Emperor Daoyuan was very happy after enjoying the food, "We will eat this again tomorrow."
He had eaten beggar's chicken before, but never was it as flavorful and fragrant as this one that whetted his appetite.
"OK"
Bei Lingyao was also very satisfied with this meal.
After eating the beggar's chicken and taro, the chicken bones and taro skins were buried in the hole.
After Emperor Daoyuan finished drinking the water, he took the water bag and water gourd to look for water.
At that time in ancient times, water, whether it was mountain spring water, river water, or even rainwater, could be drunk directly without worrying about stomach upset or gastrointestinal discomfort.
Bei Lingyao used her spiritual sense to drive away the snakes and insects around her, then she found some vines and quickly weaved them into a swing hammock.
Emperor Daoyuan came back carrying two large bundles of grass. When he saw the swing hammock woven by Bei Lingyao, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Bei Lingyao was ingenious and skillful.
And it is really comfortable and pleasant to live in the wild with such people.
He placed two large bundles of grass in front of the two horses, took out a few bamboo tubes from his body, and fed the horses the water in the tubes.
Bei Lingyao quickly wove the second hammock.
"I have it too?"
Emperor Daoyuan was slightly happy. Actually, he didn't need it. He could just lie down on a tree, or sit under a tree, or even use a rope to rest.
"It's more comfortable to sleep with this, and you don't have to worry about falling off."
Bei Lingyao tied her hammock between two trees.
Emperor Daoyuan also followed her example and found two trees to tie it to.
After a busy day, Bei Lingyao lay down, covered herself with the cloak, and sighed in comfort.
Emperor Daoyuan had already fed the horses. Seeing that Bei Lingyao had already laid down, he did not fall asleep immediately.
It was already June, the beginning of summer, and the nights were not cold.
There were a lot of mosquitoes in the forest, so Emperor Daoyuan took off the mosquito repellent sachet on his body and threw it directly into the fire.
Bei Lingyao's consciousness moved. This emperor was quite considerate.
After Emperor Daoyuan fell asleep, Bei Lingyao used her spiritual consciousness to pay attention to a group of people ten miles away from her.
She had originally thought it was just passing by and ignored it, but now it looked like it was coming towards the forest where she and Emperor Daoyuan were.
It must be a coincidence. A group of martial arts masters and martial arts powerhouses, without even a martial arts innate or martial arts grandmaster, don’t look like they are here to deal with her and Emperor Daoyuan.
She doesn't even need to take action, Emperor Daoyuan can destroy it alone.
Bei Lingyao thought about it over and over again, but she never thought that he was here to find her.
As these people approached, Emperor Daoyuan moved his ears, opened his eyes, and cast a sharp gaze into the distance.
A butterfly flew towards Bei Lingyao.
Butterflies generally rest at night, but there are exceptions.
For example, this butterfly is the tracking butterfly of the Shenyue Sect.
Bei Lingyao finally reacted when she saw the butterfly.
"I'll be back soon."
Bei Lingyao disappeared into the night in a flash.
Emperor Daoyuan didn't move, but his ears were always focused on the direction where Bei Lingyao disappeared.
"This subordinate has met the Saint."
A group of men in black saluted Bei Lingyao with their fists clasped.
"What do you want?"
Bei Lingyao narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the group of people from the Shenyue Sect in front of her, and was not friendly.
"Saint, this is a secret letter from the leader. You will cooperate with me."
Bei Lingyao didn't take it immediately, but she knew what was written in the secret letter with her spiritual sense.
It turns out that the leader of the Shenyue Sect sent a group of experts and strong men here because he thought that with her presence, they could join forces to kill Emperor Daoyuan.
The leader of the Shenyue Sect was determined to kill Emperor Daoyuan, the only grandson of Taizu, and he wished to immediately cut off the bloodline of Taizu Dongfang.
As soon as he received the news that Bei Lingyao and Emperor Daoyuan had left the capital, he immediately sent people to help Bei Lingyao.
By the way, remind Bei Lingyao not to forget the mission.
"Everyone, go back. This Saint does not need your assistance. After the G8 Summit, this Saint will give the leader an explanation."
Bei Lingyao did not choose to break off relations with the Shenyue Sect.
First, stabilize the leader of the Shenyue Sect and use spiritual sense to control these people, so that the news that she is the Holy Maiden of the Shenyue Sect will not be spread out, which will be detrimental to her reputation.
The Shenyue Cult has been hiding among the people and causing trouble. It is also the remnant of the previous dynasty and has caused a lot of trouble to the court.
Once Bei Lingyao's identity as the saint is exposed, the remnant of the previous dynasty serving as the imperial teacher of the current dynasty will definitely be questioned.
Under the instigation of someone with ulterior motives, once the news got out, there would definitely be a shock throughout the court and the country, and the court officials would not be able to accept it.
"I heard that the Saint Girl broke through the martial arts innate realm and defeated Grandmaster Li. If that's the case, why did the Saint Girl still keep that dog emperor? Could it be that the Saint Girl has taken a fancy to that dog emperor?"
Bei Lingyao slapped the leader who had spoken out, sending him flying. She said calmly, "Who are you to question this Saint?"
puff!
The team leader spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
When the other believers saw this, they were shocked. The saint's power had indeed increased.
"Saint, please calm down. I beg you to forgive me."
Bei Lingyao glanced at the group of believers who were kneeling on one knee to apologize, "As the elites of the Divine Moon Sect, don't you know that you are spreading rumors? If I were this powerful, and could defeat a late-stage Grandmaster with my innate ability, I would be invincible.
Why should I be a saint? I should rule the world and be the master of all nations and beings."
"It is the subordinates and others who are foolish. Farewell."
They bowed respectfully again and hurriedly left carrying the injured leader.
Bei Lingyao returned only after his spiritual consciousness had left a mark.
Emperor Daoyuan was still lying on the swing hammock, as if he was asleep.
