Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Li Xu carefully memorized the roads he had traveled, and Kou Xiao would also mark the recognizable trees that passed by. The two walked in the woods for a long time, except for being bitten by mosquitoes several times. , and no surprises.

"Squeak!" There was an animal's cry from among the leaves above his head. Li Xu raised his head, only to see a golden shadow swaying by, and when he looked over, he saw only the swaying leaves, but no animals.

"Could it be a monkey?" Li Xu asked.

"Maybe, we are heading south. According to what they said, we should be able to walk out of this jungle after another hour."

"Then hurry up, it's very hot in the woods, and people are almost stuffy."

Kou Xiao helped him to walk, Li Xu's foot was bitten by a poisonous insect, although the poisonous blood was squeezed out, it still hurts to walk, so he had to rely on Kou Xiao to support him.

The two are close, so they can smell the smell of each other clearly, it's all the smell of sweat, but Kou Xiao still said intoxicatedly: "I can smell the smell of meat, the prince is indeed almost ripe."

Li Xu rolled his eyes at him, "I said, are you a person who can be idle for a moment without being a hooligan? It's thanks to you that you can smell the smell of sweat."

"What's the matter? Thousands of old men in the military camp are sweating profusely every day. When they get together, the smell is called stinking. You, this one is really fragrant."

"Maybe General Kou has distorted his sexual orientation just because he gets together with men every day, why don't you try to meet girls, maybe you will like them too."

"Don't say that, my lord. The general doesn't like other men. What's there to like about tough guys? The general only likes you."

"What do you mean by that? Isn't this king a tough and rough guy?" Li Xu has never heard of his mother in two lifetimes, so why is he not a man in Kou Xiao's eyes!

"You are the most exquisite and handsome man I have ever seen. You are unique and incomparable between men and women."

"Heh, your aesthetics are also amazing." Li Xu couldn't change his aesthetics, so he didn't say anything more, but he still felt that Kou Xiao would fall in love with him because he had too little knowledge and Nanyue was too remote. When you arrive in the capital, you will be surrounded by well-dressed young masters, so I'm afraid you won't say such things.

"Has General Kou been to the capital?"

"No."

"Then you should go and have a look, this king is nothing in the capital."

Kou Xiao gave him a strange look, and then laughed, "Why does the prince keep belittling himself so much? In Kou's eyes, you are not only good-looking, but also your temperament and talent. Kou may not like a man who is better than you in every aspect, because fate is the key to people."

A poisonous snake was chasing after them, Li Xu wasn't very vigilant, but Kou Xiao had heard the rustling sound long ago, and when it launched an attack, he slashed the dagger with his backhand without even looking at it, and immediately killed the poisonous snake. His head was chopped off.

Li Xu heard the movement and looked back, and saw a king cobra corpse lying on the ground separated, the cut was smooth and flat, which showed how neat the knife was.

When Li Xu was about to turn his head, he saw a golden shadow swaying by, the leaves were whirling, but he didn't see it after looking carefully. He asked Kou Xiao: "I always feel that something is following us, have you seen it?"

"Occasionally, I feel it, but I don't know what it is. Let's go a little further and find a way to lure him out."

Next, they would stop and search the surrounding leaves carefully every time they walked, but they were unable to find the tracker.

"I'm hungry, let's find something to eat first." It was already noon, and Li Xu walked all morning. Although he ate a lot of fruit, his stomach was still growling with hunger.

There is really a lot of difference in consumption between exercise and no exercise. It is estimated that this meal can eat a whole chicken.

There are no hares and pheasants in the woods, and there are more birds. I haven't seen any large wild animals. I don't know if there are no such things on the island itself or they are all hiding in the depths.

The roasted bird is still very fragrant, especially the roasted one by Li Xu, sprinkled with cumin and chili, it is not greasy after eating.

The two rested by a stream, killed birds and plucked their feathers, and then roasted them. After eating, an hour had passed.

Originally Kou Xiao only shot three birds, and planned for him to eat two and Li Xu would eat one. After eating, he was still unsatisfied, so he shot two more, killed them and handed them to Li Xu.

Li Xu's stomach isn't full yet, but he doesn't want to roast the birds anymore. This job requires patience, flipping over and rubbing seasonings on and off. After eating these two birds, it will be dark.

"Let's save these two for dinner. Let's pick some fruits on the way and gather them together."

Kou Xiao looked at the bird in his hand, and put it down reluctantly, "Okay, I'll save these two for others to eat, and I'll hunt them down if I want to eat them at night."

After eating and resting for a while, the two continued on the road. Li Xu came out without any luggage, even the clothes belonged to Kou Xiao, but Kou Xiao brought a lot of things, including a big bag, and he also brought the seasonings. It can be seen that there is no less preparation before coming out.

Li Xu asked curiously: "If this king doesn't come out, will the general go into the forest to explore alone?"

Kou Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, without the prince's company, Kou can only come here alone, so it's not interesting." In fact, if Li Xu didn't come, his personal guards would definitely follow, How can I hide as far away as I do now.

The people around him must have seen his thoughts on Li Xu, one is smarter than the other, and they are more understanding than the other.

But speaking of it, it's a bit hard to understand that the masked guard next to King Shun is also hiding behind. It can't be just to create opportunities for him!

Or does the prince actually want to be alone with him?

Kou Xiao felt that he was thinking too much, maybe Li Xu just felt that his own protection was enough.

After they left, two golden monkeys jumped down from the leaves, ran to the place where they rested and rummaged for a while, and finally took a few bones of meat that they hadn't eaten clean, and gnawed them until the meat on them was dry. He threw away the bone cleanly, and then showed a fascinated expression.

The two monkeys yelled at each other a few times, then picked up two raw bird meat wrapped in leaves on the ground, and chased after Li Xu and the others.

After walking for about half an hour, Li Xu and the others finally came to the edge of the forest. The "squeak" sound became more and more clear. Li Xu stopped and followed the sound. This time he could see clearly that there was indeed a shadow. Jump among the trees.

A small head poked out from among the leaves and looked at them. Li Xu saw that it was a cute monkey with golden fur. I wonder if it was a golden monkey, but in different worlds and at different times, even if it is, there must be some differences.

"It turns out that you little thing followed us all the way, what do you want to do?" Li Xu took a few steps forward and looked up at the little monkey.

The little monkey screamed "squeaky", and then another monkey came down from the tree, holding something in its arms, and quickly ran to Li Xu, put the thing at Li Xu's feet, and pointed at it with his finger. , and then quickly back up the tree.

"Hey, why does this thing look familiar?" Li Xu squatted down and picked up the package that was still warm, opened it, and saw that it was the two birds that Kou Xiao shot before!

"What does this mean?" Li Xu handed the things to Kou Xiao, and asked, "Could it be that they thought we dropped them and sent them back to us?"

The two monkeys on the tree were still barking, Kou Xiao didn't think it was right, "Maybe they want to eat."

"Eat? Then why send it to us?"

"They should prefer to eat cooked food. Maybe the meat roasted by the prince is too fragrant. They found it by smelling it."

This guess is too humane, Li Xu raised his head and pointed at the bird meat and asked, "Do you want to eat this?"

The two monkeys didn't know whether they could understand or not, pointing at the things in his hands and barking from time to time, Li Xu couldn't guess, so he could only follow Kou Xiao's understanding, they picked up some dead branches and started a fire, Put two birds on the branches and put them on the fire to roast.

As soon as it was put on the table, two monkeys jumped down from the tree, screaming excitedly around the fire, and poking with their fingers at the uncooked bird meat from time to time.

"I really want to eat barbecue. I've become a genius." Li Xu distributed the bananas he picked on the road to them, and they were not polite, a monkey hugged a banana and started to chew it.

Seeing their smooth and shiny fur, Li Xu couldn't help but reach out and touch them. Seeing that they didn't avoid them, he boldly touched them.

It's really comfortable to touch. Li Xu has been busy all his life and doesn't have much interest in raising pets, but he still likes pets that are easy to touch and cute from the bottom of his heart.

"If you like it, take it home and raise it." Kou Xiao narrowed his eyes to see Li Xu's comfortable appearance, and thought he was extremely cute.

"It's fine to keep cats and dogs, but what do you do with monkeys? They definitely prefer to live freely in the forest."

"One of your ancestors liked to raise ferocious beasts. At that time, a leopard room was built in the palace to raise large ferocious beasts. I didn't expect you to be very kind."

Li Xu ignored him. As a modern person, his feelings towards wild animals are still very delicate, and he would not easily hurt them.

When the bird was roasted, Li Xu didn't sprinkle seasoning on it, just handed it to two monkeys, exactly one for each monkey, they immediately grabbed the branches and rushed to the tree, then squatted on the branches and began to enjoy this unique delicacy.

Li Xu shouted under the tree: "Don't burn it." But the two monkeys obviously didn't understand, they screamed at the first mouth when they were burned, but after that they knew how to eat slowly, and they knew how to tear it off with their paws. Slivers of meat were stuffed into his mouth, and he chewed and swallowed slowly, the movements were similar to those of humans.

"It's so cute. Go back and tell Jia Ping and the others, don't hurt the animals in this forest. Except for those with normal dietary needs, let them go if you can." The development of any place is inseparable from the destruction of ecology If the island is to be developed and utilized in the future, it will definitely face this problem.

Li Xu is not a great sage, and it is impossible to give up developing this island for them, but he can leave enough living space for them. Humans and animals can still coexist peacefully in ancient times without full industrialization.

"Let's go, we have to get out of this jungle before dark, otherwise the night will be difficult." Li Xu put out the fire completely, checked several times before leaving with Kou Xiao.

Kou Xiao walked with him all the way, and found that he was really not like a pampered prince. He would do many things by himself, and he knew more plants than him. Did the people really grow up in the palace?

Li Xu didn't know that Kou Xiao was talking about him, he was in a great mood, humming a little song while walking, which quickly attracted Kou Xiao's attention.

"What song is the prince singing? Is it popular in the capital? South Vietnam has never heard such a tune."

Li Xu shut his mouth, he just hummed unconsciously just now, it is a modern pop song, a very old song, "No, just hum indiscriminately."

"I didn't expect the prince to have a talent for music. Presumably a prince and grandson like you are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Li Xu rubbed his nose and smiled awkwardly. Of course the original owner is proficient in everything, but he probably doesn't know anything.

"This king is not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and this king doesn't rely on this to make a living."

Kou Xiao thinks that he is self-effacing. Which literati can't recite a few poems and make a few paintings, but he has seen Li Xu's handwriting, and it is really hard to explain it. It is estimated that the prince has no expertise in this area.

The sun was slanting to the west, they walked out of the dense forest before the sun set, surrounded by bushes, Li Xu saw a pineapple tree in the distance, and immediately rushed over excitedly.

There was a creaking sound behind him, and Li Xu turned around, only to find that the two golden monkeys followed them out at some point.
