After placing the wild dog carcass, Liu Yuanxiang carefully put the puppies aside, and they instinctively leaned over.

It looks like you had a good meal, so you shouldn't have a problem, right?

Ning Ze put down the firewood and said softly: "Lord, I just looked around on the road and found that there were no edible wild fruits nearby. There are a lot of pheasants, and the lower officials went to hunt some and came back. ”

"How are the military advisors going to fight?" Liu Yuanxiang asked curiously.

"There is this!" Ning Ze took out an iron bow from the famous carrying bar and shook it.

"Go quickly, pay attention to safety!" Liu Yuanxiang stayed alone in the cave, but he was actually quite scared. She was worried about whether her companions who had been killed by wild dogs and bears would show up and return to the cave.

Ning Ze left the cave with the iron bow and arrived at the nearby place where the pheasant flock had been found.

Because the ecological environment is very primitive, it has not been destroyed by humans, and the vicinity is inaccessible to people, and there are birds and beasts everywhere.

This flock of pheasants gathers near the bushes to feed, and there are at least thirty of them, which is rare in modern society.

Ning Ze stopped at a safe distance to avoid scaring away the pheasants, and after carefully searching for the target, he drew his bow and arrows.

He aimed at a few pheasants standing in a row, clinging to each other, holding his breath and pulling his bow to the extreme.

"Whoosh!" the arrow shot out with lightning speed, hitting a pheasant with such accuracy that it did not stop, piercing the pheasant's body and piercing it at the same time before the other two pheasants standing side by side next to him were alarmed.

"Whoa~" The pheasants were frightened and immediately scattered and flew away.

Ning Ze stepped forward quickly, and saw three birds with one stone, and three pheasants were strung side by side on the arrows.

This is the benefit of high force increase, and even the use of bows and arrows is amazing.

The pheasants are huge, and three are enough to eat.

Ning Ze turned around and turned back, thinking about what he would do later.

After a few steps, suddenly there was a strange thing in front of him, and something came out of the dead leaves.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a scorpion.

In a flash of inspiration, he drew his sword and quickly cut off the poisonous hook on the scorpion's tail, bent down to grab it, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

Back in the cave, Liu Yuanxiang was sitting by the fire and gently stroking the nursing puppy.

"Lord, the harvest is very rich!" Ning Ze held the prey in his hand, and before he came back, he had already gone to the stream to pluck and wash the pheasant.

Liu Yuanxiang was overjoyed, she was so hungry that she panicked, and of course she was happy to be able to have a full meal: "The military advisor has only been out for a while, and he has hit so much?"

"I only used one arrow. Ning Ze said with a smile.

"Awesome!" Liu Yuanxiang stood up, couldn't wait to step forward, and looked at the processed chicken in his hand, "Will the military advisor roast it?"

"It's going to be a little bit!" Ning Ze took the sharpened branches and put a few pheasants together, and carefully erected them beside the fire, "Although there is no seasoning, at least they can be roasted." These two smaller ones are freshly baked, and then this one waits for me to make some mud and pick some banana leaves to make a flower chicken. ”

"What's that?"

"The recipe taught by my teacher suddenly came to mind. Ning Ze replied, taking advantage of Liu Yuanxiang's attention on the ingredients, he quickly threw the scorpion he brought back with his right hand, and at the same time pulled her into his arms with his left hand, shouting, "Be careful!"

Liu Yuanxiang didn't pay attention, the whole person fell into Ning Ze's arms, hung on his body, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?!"

Ning Ze took advantage of the situation to hug her, and quickly raised his foot and stepped on the tail of the scorpion that fell to the ground: "There is a poisonous insect falling!"

Seeing Ning Ze stepping on his feet and constantly waving a pair of scorpions struggling with his forefeet, Liu Yuanxiang was very afraid: "There are still scorpions in the cave?

"Don't worry, lord!" Ning Ze said, "With the lower officials, snakes, insects, rats and ants can't get close, and they can keep the lord fair and safe." Later, the official carefully inspected the entire cave to make sure that there were no snakes, insects, rats and ants left. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuanxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is a military advisor here, otherwise the palace doesn't know what to do." ”

When the words fell, he found that he was hugging Ning Ze's neck tightly in fear, and almost the whole person was hung up. The two are very close, and this posture is extremely ambiguous.

A strange feeling came to her heart, making her get up at a loss, and quickly pushed Ning Ze away to quickly tidy up her appearance.

Seeing her posture, Ning Ze smiled and bent down to grab the scorpion and threw it into the fire.

Although the scorpion can eat it, there is enough food at the moment, so there is no need to eat it. What's more, if you don't destroy the corpse quickly, in case Liu Yuanxiang sees that the poisonous hook on the scorpion's tail is missing, it will not be good.

Liu Yuanxiang didn't notice Ning Ze's expression, but just saw that the scorpion was thrown into the fire, and was a little relieved.

She felt that something was wrong, her heart was beating very fast, and her face was a little hot.

This feeling is similar to when I met the woman I liked when I was a child.

How so?

Ning Ze pretended that nothing had happened, pretended to walk around the cave with a burning wooden stick, and came back and said to her: "The lord can rest assured, the lower officials have carefully checked, and there are no other poisonous insects in the cave." ”

"Oh!" Liu Yuanxiang had something in his heart, and sat by the fire and thought.

"My lord, Xia Guan will take some banana leaves and soil back and cook a chicken called Hua for you. Please wait!"

"Good!"

Watching Ning Ze leave the cave, Liu Yuanxiang reached out and gently rubbed his temples, and whispered silently: The military advisor and I are like brothers, and how can this palace like men? No, don't think nonsense......"

Ning Ze quickly retrieved the banana leaves, as well as some wet soil, and returned to the cave to wrap the pheasant in the banana leaves, sealing it with soil and turning it into a mud ball. Put it in the fire and bury it.

Liu Yuanxiang was very curious: "Strategist, this method is so strange! What you said is called flower chicken, is it delicious?"

"That's nature!" Ning Ze nodded, "My lord, please look forward to it." ”

Ning Ze carefully turned the two roast chickens, concentrating.

Liu Yuanxiang looked at his serious appearance on the other side, and his mind was a little messy. Shaking his head, trying not to think about it, he just stared at Ning Ze's handsome face, and his face was a little hot, I don't know if it was because of the fire or what.

Ning Ze naturally knew Liu Yuanxiang's movements, but she could actually feel that she obviously liked herself.

Otherwise, he would not have eaten Chu Meiren's vinegar, let alone transferred Mi Yan to his side.

She was always at the front of the line every time she returned from a battle, and she was all the way out of the city every time she set out.

In the past year, when she was in Huajun, she didn't come to the door less, and she generally didn't let Chu Meiren and Mi Yan have the opportunity to be alone with her. also often finds all kinds of excuses to call himself to the princess's mansion to talk.

She must have noticed it herself, but because she grew up as the king of Lingnan, she may be psychologically biased towards male thinking, and this sexual orientation is a little confusing, and she must cross this hurdle!

In fact, it is difficult to say, and it is easy to say.

It's just that she needs to be correctly aware of the fact that she is a woman, as well as the correct perception of her sexual orientation. Ning Ze is not a psychiatrist, what he can do is to stimulate Liu Yuanxiang through some inadvertent behaviors, make her realize this, and cross this obstacle.

Just like the scene just now, normal men just say thank you. But no matter how much Liu Yuanxiang is biased towards men in his thinking, it is completely different. No matter how coarse the nerves are, they will react in that situation.

Ning Ze knew that one night could not completely reverse Liu Yuanxiang's fixed thinking, it was better than doing nothing.

While cooking the pheasant, the atmosphere between the two became a little different.

Liu Yuanxiang tried to put aside the thoughts in her mind, glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside the cave, and said softly, "Fluttershy, why haven't they come yet? It stands to reason that this should be found at this time......"

"Could it be that they didn't see my prompt?" Ning Ze pretended not to know, "Or, they got it in the wrong direction." ”

"What should I do then?" asked Liu Yuanxiang worriedly.

"Rest assured, my lord, although the mountains and forests are full of fierce beasts, we are extremely safe here. There are subordinate officials, but the lord is safe. Ning Ze said, "As for the others, the large group of people and horses gathered, and the beasts did not dare to approach easily. Even if you look in the wrong direction, you will definitely understand. Tomorrow morning, the lower official will take the lord back to the previous mountain, which can be seen from a high position. ”

"And we're going to spend the night in a cave?"

"It seems so. Ning Ze nodded, "Don't worry, the lower official can conjure up some precious brocade and silk silk to ensure that you can sleep comfortably." ”

There are some specialties that are also considered famous, and the price is quite expensive. Generally speaking, no one would be willing to put these precious famous products in the wilderness as a foreshadowing, but Ning Ze didn't care, the first task was to take care of Her Royal Highness the princess, and at the same time get more favor from her.

Liu Yuanxiang is much more relieved.

The roast chicken was finally cooked, and after Ning Ze tried it, he made sure that there was no problem, so he handed it over to Liu Yuanxiang: "Lord, although it is not as delicious as the famous chef's cooking, let's do it first! We don't have oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, so it's good to fill our stomachs." ”

"Bengong was also hungry when he was a child," Liu Yuanxiang took it and replied with a smile.

"It's a little hot, be careful. ”

"Hmm!"

The two were eating roast chicken face to face, and Ning Ze smiled and said, "Idle and boring, do you want to listen to the story?"

Liu Yuanxiang felt that this atmosphere was too abnormal, and when he heard this, he hurriedly nodded: "Okay! The military advisor is well-informed, and there will definitely be a lot of good stories, right?"

"Of course!" Ning Ze said with a smile, "When I was studying abroad, I heard a lot of interesting stories. ”

"Say it quickly!" Liu Yuanxiang was very interested, and couldn't wait to urge him while eating roast chicken.

"Then the lower official will tell the lord a story of "Painted Skin". ”

"Painted skin?" Liu Yuanxiang said curiously, "This story has never been heard in this palace, what is it about?"

"Let's listen to the lower official slowly......" Ning Ze held back his bad eyes and deliberately told her the most terrifying story in Zhai.

It's nightfall in this wilderness.

Is there an unknown beast crying, it is terrifying.

The ancients were superstitious, and ghost stories were nothing to Ning Ze, an atheist, but even more terrifying to them.

There is no talk in this world, Liu Yuanxiang naturally didn't know what the painting was about, and was directly attracted by Ning Ze's description at the beginning, and immersed in the story......
