Chapter 627 Who do you care about most?
A strange thought came to Lu Beichen's mind. He touched his nose with a sigh. Since when did he fall in love with the joy of buying things for free? He finally experienced the joy of having a wife.
Thinking of his wife, he hasn't been close to her for several days in order to track down the whereabouts of the strange man. He always thinks of that beautiful figure from time to time, wondering what she is doing now. She should be sleeping so late, is she sleeping well, and is she thinking about each other all the time like him?
While he was thinking about his wife, the battle below was about to break out. The tiger roared and rushed towards the leader of the dark guards with star steps.
It was very fast and was not affected by the terrain at all. It seemed to be some distance away but it was quickly approaching the target, opening its bloody mouth to attack the leader of the secret guards.
In the blink of an eye, the leader of the secret guards, who had been as still as a mountain, just moved sideways when the tiger head was about to bite him. The sword in his hand was so fast that only an afterimage was left. The tiger, who had been sure of victory, lost the battle in just one round.
After a moment, the tiger's head separated from its body, and the entire tiger fell heavily to the ground, dead beyond death.
Lu Beichen saw clearly that the other party was indeed quite capable. If he faced him head-on, he would not be a match for the leader of the secret guards at all. This man was highly skilled in martial arts and was indeed a tough opponent.
In some cases, Lu Beichen was actually a person who refused to admit defeat. This moment aroused his desire to win, and he also wanted to compete with him head-on. In the end, was he faster, or was his Lingbo Weibu better?
Lu Beichen was not so stubborn as to let him rely solely on his own speed to fight against an ancient person. The only way to show respect to his opponent was to play to his strengths and give it his all.
Seeing that the danger was over, the horse finally calmed down. The leader of the secret guards walked up to the tiger, took a tiger leg from it, and built a fire on the spot. It seemed that he wanted to have a midnight snack here before setting off again.
He paid no attention to the remaining tiger meat, nor did he care whether the smell of blood would attract other beasts, and just left it there.
The rack was set up using local materials and the fire was soon lit. It was obvious that he was an expert at this and he did this kind of thing many times. He did it neatly and efficiently. When the meat was set up and started to roast, his eyes turned to the tiger corpse. Perhaps he didn't want to be disturbed by other beasts while he was enjoying the delicious food. After thinking for a while, he finally got up and dug a pit not far away to bury the tiger.
Most wild beasts are afraid of fire and they dare not approach places with fire easily. After doing all this, the leader of the secret guards returned to the fire and sat down again. He took out a bottle from his chest and poured the contents on the meat. Soon, the strong smell of spices wafted everywhere.
As a person from later generations, he had seen all kinds of spices, but the spices sprinkled by the leader of the secret guards... he had never seen them before. The smell was very unfamiliar, sweet with a hint of spiciness, and it seemed to have a fruity aroma. The powder was light pink, and when applied to the meat, the color changed from the initial light pink to blending with the meat, and in the end, one could only smell the fragrance but could not see any trace of the spices.
After roasting for nearly half an hour, even Lu Beichen, who was not particular about food, began to be curious about what the meat tasted like. He could still smell the aroma of the meat from about fifty meters away, and he was so greedy that he kept swallowing his saliva.
Using the smell of meat as a cover, he took out a hand-torn chicken from his space ring and ate it leisurely while sitting on a tree branch.
The distance was far, and Lu Beichen made little noise while eating, so the leader of the secret guards didn't notice anything. He seemed to be staring at the meat on the grill, but in fact he never relaxed his attention to the surroundings.
This is in the mountains, and we may be attacked by wild beasts at any time. However, apart from the tiger delivering food, no other animals have been seen approaching.
This made Lu Beichen very confused. Roasted meat like this should be extremely tempting to animals. More than an hour had passed, and there was still no danger approaching. This was completely contrary to common sense, especially on the system light screen. There were clearly many wild beasts around, but they seemed to have sensed something and were deliberately avoiding them.
He suddenly thought of the spices that the leader of the secret guards sprinkled on the meat. It was only after the fragrance spread that the animals began to slowly move away from here. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. This spice is a good thing.
Their soldiers often train outdoors and are often attacked by wild beasts. This thing is simply a must-have artifact for camping outdoors. Even if it is not sprinkled on the meat mountain, it can be used as an aromatherapy to keep wild beasts away at night when camping. With all these benefits, Lu Beichen naturally thought of using spices again...
After a good night's sleep, Fu Ling woke up at ten o'clock in the morning. Qin'er had been squatting at the door waiting for him.
After waiting for a long time, she finally waited for her master to get up and quickly brought her toiletries.
After Fu Ling dressed neatly, he hurriedly combed her hair.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your skin looks better than before. You must be the envy of those housekeepers." Qin'er is obsessed with looks and drooled at the sight of Fu Ling.
As a princess, she would usually attend banquets among the daughters of official families. To put it nicely, it was a tea party, but in reality it was a place where the daughters competed with each other for beauty. She didn't know whether Xuanyuan Ling liked it. Fu Ling didn't like such places. It was very awkward to see them flatter each other with such a smile even though they had a bad relationship.
"So who do you think is prettier, me or them?" Fu Ling asked with a smile.
Qin Er answered without hesitation, "Of course it's you, Your Highness. You are recognized as the most beautiful woman and the most talented woman in Xuanyuan. How many noble young men want to see your beauty."
Fu Ling seemed to hear pride in her tone. She laughed for a while. She didn't feel anything, but this girl seemed to be more excited than her.
"There are all kinds of beauties in this world, so how can I be considered the best? Don't forget that there are always people who are better than you, and there are always things better than you."
"I don't care about that. In my heart, Your Highness is the most beautiful and kindest one. I will serve you for the rest of my life."
"Silly girl, don't you plan to get married?"
"I don't want to get married. I will go wherever you go and serve you all my life. Your Highness, if you get married, can you take me with you? I want to follow you forever." As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller. Bulingbuling's big eyes stared at Fu Ling from time to time, for she was worried about hearing a rejection from Fu Ling.
The little girl was really lovable. Today was the day she would leave, and even if he wanted to take her with him, it would be impossible. After thinking for a while, he said, "Qin'er, do you know who I care about most in my life?"
Qin'er thought for a moment and replied uncertainly, "Is it His Majesty and the Empress?"
