Chapter 143: Leaks and Ambushes

"Li Ming really found a way to perfectly cook the meat of spirit beasts and demon beasts?" Liu Ting couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Shen Ye's words.

Li Ming and his soldiers were very tight-mouthed, but fortunately, he also called Lu Bu and Cao Cao, and even their subordinates. Cheng Lian is a powerful and brainless person, and he will say everything after a few glasses of wine. Shen Ye said playfully.

"Is there a fraud?" Liu Ting was first worried about this, and his inherent concept made him think that no one would be able to handle the flesh of spirit beasts and demon beasts perfectly. At least in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, no one has been able to do this.

"If it's pure Cheng Lian's testimony, then I'm naturally not sure. If you add Li Ming's anxious division of the demon beast meat, the process of cooking prohibiting others from watching, and the strict protection of the guards, it seems that they all point to this possibility! Shen Ye said slowly, actually a little dissatisfied in his heart. In the past, Liu Ting, almost whatever he said, the other party believed. After all, his Shen Ye's character, if he didn't investigate it clearly, he would never speak.

Sure enough, because of Liu Xie's matter, there has been a rift in the relationship between the two sides...... Shen Ye couldn't help but think.

"Thank you for your hospitality!" The next day, when Lu Bu and Cao Cao saw Li Ming, they stepped forward to thank him.

The demon pill is not easy to obtain, at least no one will plan to go against the big demon, let alone the demon beast without the demon pill. I knew that the lord of Nanyue was a snake, and it was estimated that he was also a demon beast-level existence, but I didn't expect that his subordinates were at the demon beast level.

Seriously, even Cao Cao was afraid that he would retreat in his heart, and he would be a thankless crusade, why bother?!

As a result, that night, after eating a meal of demon beast meat, he and his subordinates had greatly improved their strength. Not to mention Lu Bu, they got more demon beast meat over there.

Then the two of them suddenly discovered that it was actually not bad to go south this time, if they continued to hunt a batch of spirit beasts or demon beasts, they could directly cultivate the exercises to perfection, maybe it was possible! You can even try the first turn to condense the acquired qi.

"No wonder Riyao will bring so much baggage this time, and the marching pot will bring a lot!" Lu Bu laughed out loud, it had been difficult to understand before, why Li Ming would carry so many big marching pots, that thing was a burden at all, now I know.

"Remember to keep your mouth tight, otherwise it will ......" Li Ming looked at Liu Ting, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu naturally nodded knowingly when they saw this.

In layman's terms, Li Ming is worried that Liu Ting's side will rob the monster. Then, through trading, a part of the spirit beast or demon beast meat is divided. Of course, it's good to have someone to help share the pressure of monster farming, but as far as the combat power of the Royal Alliance is concerned, Li Ming still can't look down on it.

It doesn't help much, but when you get the loot, you come to grab it, this kind of guy is really annoying.

"But Riyao should also be careful, in the end, there are many people, if the other party wants to investigate, I am afraid that it may not be able to find out!" Cao Cao reminded him kindly, after all, Li Ming's actions yesterday were too abnormal, but people will be very curious about unknown things.

"Besides, it's a big deal to divide some of their meat!" Li Ming blinked at Cao Cao.

"It's good that Sunshine is prepared!" Cao Cao smiled, he naturally knew that the meat that Li Ming said might still be demon beast meat, but it would definitely not contain any energy in it, and no matter how much he ate, it was just to satisfy his appetite.

What is surprising is that Liu Ting did not dwell on the problem of demon beast meat. When they met again, the two sides acted as if nothing had happened, at most they mentioned the topic of whether the meat was good or not, and Li Ming only said a few perfunctory words.

Both sides behaved so naturally that Li Ming really didn't realize anything.

The army continued to move south, and in the course of the march, except for the sulfur powder and other medicinal powders that were needed, the camp tents were not set up again, let alone buried in pots to make food, and some dry food was used to deal with it.

This road to the south is not easy, all the way is in the undeveloped wild terrain, even if there is an engineering battalion in front of the continuous opening of the road, the speed of the team's advance is very slow. Usually you can walk more than 100 miles a day, but here the large army can walk 20 miles a day, which is already very good.

"Looks like we might have to spend the night in the jungle today! Do you want to clear the venue? Li Ming looked at the sky, it was already approaching evening, and as a result, the large army had only advanced for less than twenty miles, and considering the fatigue of the engineering battalion, he suggested to Liu Ting.

"Good!" Liu Ting also realized this and directly agreed.

A large number of soldiers quickly spread out, hunting all the animals around them. The enemy is good at controlling beasts, and no one can guarantee that there is no existence controlled by them in the surrounding animals. Not to mention the large animals, some small animals were found, and they were all wiped out, including the birds in the sky.

"It looks like there's a big dinner tonight," Li Ming said with a smile, and then arranged for people to break down the meat of several animals.

"Big mess? Does it taste good? "Cao Cao and Lu Bu are fixed to come over to eat, but tonight there is more Gongsun Zhan. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also sent people to bury the pot to make rice, but they didn't plan to take the initiative to rub the rice before Li Ming came over to invite them.

"Die to save face and suffer sin!" Lu Bu ordered Eryuan like this.

"Once you know the order, different meats are stewed at different times, and the final soup is superb! It's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise it will ...... taste if it is stewed for three hours," Li Ming instructed his subordinates to cook, and explained while looking back. His dish is famous, and the real name is - Mountain Buddha jumping over the wall.

Li Ming used a lot of edible mushrooms and wild vegetables, and the meat of various birds and beasts was also the main ingredient, and the dried scallops brought by the army were also added to boil together. It's a pity that there is not enough time, and the general level will be distributed directly. After boiling for an hour, these generals tasted it together, and brought some to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu by the way.

"If it really simmers for three hours, it tastes even better?" Lu Bu took a sip of the soup, and immediately became a spirit, such a delicious soup constantly stimulated the taste buds, making the taste feel an unparalleled experience.

"I don't have to lie to you about this, do I? It's not good for me! Li Ming shrugged his shoulders, "Be careful after eating, we have entered the enemy's territory, but at the end of the day, we haven't seen a single hair of the enemy, and I always feel that the other party is brewing something." In addition, thirty miles ahead, according to the information provided by the scouts, the military division under my command analyzed that the enemy may set up an ambush there, and it is not ruled out that the enemy will attack at night, everyone be careful! ”

"Understood!" Lu Bu and Cao Cao nodded, and after dinner, they hurried back to set up defenses.

The enemy did not come that day, and the night was peaceful. The next day, the army continued to advance southward, the engineering battalion cut down trees to open the way, the nearest food was good, the work was vigorous, and the army had advanced thirty miles before three o'clock in the afternoon.

The ambush area that Li Ming spoke of had arrived, and it was surrounded by mountains, hills, and dense vegetation, making it unsuitable for large-scale battles. The key is that along the way, the whole formation began to be stretched and divided into small pieces by the hills, and it was difficult to effectively support the vanguard troops.

"I see, if it were me, I guess I would have set up an ambush here!" Lu Bu nodded, and ordered the soldiers to slow down, assemble and move forward slowly, while emptying the surrounding animals.

After another thirty minutes, everything around them suddenly fell silent, and the insects and birds chirped, and all disappeared.

"Enemy attack!" I don't know who shouted first, and then a similar call spread throughout the Allied ranks.
