Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

"It's really a pineapple." It was the first time Li Xu saw a pineapple tree. It turned out to be like this. He always thought that pineapples grow on tall trees.

"Is this edible?" Kou Xiao came over to watch.

"Yes." Li Xu didn't know if the pineapple on the tree was ripe or not, so he cut one and asked Kou Xiao to peel off the outer skin, and then split it into two halves. Kou Xiao put it in his mouth and took a bite first.

"Bah, bah, bah!" He immediately stopped Li Xu who was about to put the thing in his mouth, "Wait a minute, my lord."

Li Xu looked at him in surprise, "What's the matter, can't you eat it?" No way, what could it be if it wasn't a pineapple?

Kou Xiao looked at him without words, "You can try it if you want."

Well, with your expression and tone, who would dare to try it? Li Xu smelled it with his nose, and it did smell like pineapple. He suspected that Kou Xiao couldn't eat it, so he bravely took a bite. , Suddenly a sour taste filled his mouth, Li Xu spit it out in a mouthful, picked up the improvised water bag and drank a few mouthfuls of water.

Kou Xiao laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, "Hahaha...My lord, you are so ridiculous haha!"

Li Xu threw the pineapple on his face, turned around and continued walking, Kou Xiao couldn't stop laughing, chased after him, hugged Li Xu's shoulder and said, "My lord, is the pineapple good?"

Li Xu explained very seriously: "It's just not ripe yet, it's delicious when cooked."

"Really?" Kou Xiao didn't believe it at all. He felt that Li Xu must have heard of this plant somewhere before, but he hadn't tried it himself and was misled.

Seeing them go away, the two monkeys behind them anxiously scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks, wondering if they should continue to catch up. After leaving the jungle, they would no longer be in a place they were familiar with, which meant danger.

In the end, the two monkeys came back angrily, and stopped to sleep after passing by the place where Li Xu and the others were barbecued, thinking that Li Xu and the others would come back.

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Kou Xiao walked for a while, and found that his face and body were a little itchy. At first he didn't pay attention to it, thinking it was a mosquito bite, but the more he walked, the more itchy, and there were pimples on his arms.

Li Xu was startled when he saw this, he took off his clothes and checked his chest and back, and found that there were lumps in many places.

Kou Xiao didn't feel that there was any other discomfort, and he would jokingly say, "My lord, do you want to take off your trousers for a check?"

Li Xu patted him, "Don't be silly, it doesn't look like a bug bite, are you allergic to pineapples?"

How could Kou Xiao know this, he didn't even know what allergy means, "It's the first time for the general to eat that kind of pineapple, could it be poisonous?" Thinking of this, he immediately became nervous and tore Li Xu's skin open. Clothes check for the same symptoms on him.

His movements were fast and ruthless, and when Li Xu realized that his outer clothes had been torn, the man looked at his chest and was not satisfied, so he took off his clothes to his waist, then turned to look at his back, "It's okay Fortunately, there is no difference."

He Zun, who had just caught up, saw this scene. The kid surnamed Kou violently tore his master's clothes, then hugged him, and kept moving his hands on Li Xu's body. Well, this Kou Xiao tricked his master out because he wanted to do something wrong!

He Zun was about to rush out with a stride, but four people jumped out and surrounded him.

"Get out of the way!" He Zun said in a deep voice.

"Guard Mu, don't be angry, the general doesn't mean anything malicious, he doesn't have the guts."

He Zun sneered, it's a joke that Kou Xiao doesn't have the courage, in terms of courage, no one in this world can compare to Kou Xiao.

After the personal guard explained, he didn't believe it anymore, his general really did this kind of thing, but as personal guards, they must stand on Kou Xiao's side.

"Again, get out of the way!"

The four guards looked at each other, and looked at Kou Xiao, and saw that Li Xu slapped their general, and then touched his general's face, the two of them were like a pair of close lovers .

"You see, the lord is not angry, maybe it's the interest between them. Aren't we spoiling good things by going out?"

He Zun also saw this scene, but felt that he didn't see it. His family's prince said so and so to Kou Xiao every day, but in the end he still accepted it.

Li Xu was in a hurry to check Kou Xiao's condition right now, Kou Xiao also had a large number of pimples on his face, and his lips were swollen, it must be allergic urticaria.

Allergies can be big or small, and some people will die due to allergies. He shouted back: "Is anyone here?"

He Zun was the first to rush out, squeezed Kou Xiao away, stood in front of Li Xu and lowered his head and asked, "What orders does the lord have?"

Seeing He Zun here, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief, "Do you remember the way you came here?"

"I remember everything."

"Send General Kou back first, he needs medical treatment."

Only then did He Zun see the abnormality on Kou Xiao's face, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous insect, he took out a small porcelain bottle and said, "This subordinate has a plaster to repel insects and relieve itching, General Kou, would you like to apply some?"

Kou Xiao's body was extremely itchy, so of course he didn't refuse, after wiping his body clean and cool, he finally felt more comfortable, and felt that he was fine, so he wanted to drag Li Xu to continue walking.

"Go back! Go back." Li Xu walked back with a cold face. It was going to be dark at this time. Looking at the jungle in the distance, he felt like a huge beast lurking, and he didn't want to step into that place at night.

"Is there a shortcut?" He asked Kou Xiao.

Kou Xiao shook his head, it was his first time to this island, how could he know this.

Seeing that Li Xu was anxious for him, Kou Xiao was happy in his heart, but with a calm expression on his face, he comforted him: "Don't worry, you will be fine in the end, rest here for one night, and return in the morning!"

He Zun also had the same opinion, Kou Xiao looked alive and kicking around, he must not die overnight, of course safety is the most important thing.

Li Xu nodded, put on the stripped clothes for Kou Xiao, and took off his torn coat to wrap his head around his head, wrapping Kou Xiao into a mummy.

Kou Xiao was shocked, wanted to refuse but didn't dare, he hesitated and said: "My lord, it doesn't have to be like this?"

"Shut up, some urticaria can't see the wind, you stay well."

"Okay." Kou Xiao sat down helplessly, and then found that the front, back, left, and right sides were surrounded by banana leaves. He looked up at the sky and saw the twinkling stars, but before he could even look twice, the top of his head was also covered.

"Hey!"

Li Xu's voice came from outside, "Just sleep like this for the night, the sea breeze is stronger here, so you won't catch a cold."

When Kou Xiao thought that he was only wearing short-sleeved shorts, and there were five big men outside, he immediately became unhappy. He quickly pulled him into the shed through the gap, hugged him and pressed him to the ground. There are so few, it’s safer to hide here, so as not to catch a cold.”

Li Xu couldn't refute it, but when he thought that there were five people watching outside, he pushed Kou Xiao away with a blushing face, and sat a little far away from him.

The shed made by Ye Zi was not very strong, nor was it airtight. The two of them sat next to each other, without seeing the stars or the moon, and they didn't know what to do the whole time.

A few pieces of barbecue were stuffed outside, and Li Xu and Kou Xiao ate them separately. After eating, they simply lay down on the ground and went to sleep.

Kou Xiao propped his head up to see Li Xu lying with his back facing him, he felt like an old married couple, if he could still lie on the same bed after returning home, he would die with no regrets.

In the middle of the night, there were footsteps coming from outside, slightly messy, Li Xu was still in a deep sleep, Kou Xiao asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"General, I found a group of people coming ashore and heading towards us."

"Not one of us?"

"No."

"Go and see how many people there are."

Without Kou Xiao's instructions, two personal guards had already looked over. Kou Xiao woke up Li Xu and said in a low voice, "My lord, someone is coming. I don't know the enemy or friend. If there is any danger later, you can run into the woods." Here, run back along the sign, do you hear me?"

Li Xu rebuked him, "In the middle of the night, you must be able to see the marks clearly to be a ghost."

The surrounding fires have been extinguished, Li Xu can only look at Kou Xiao by a little starlight, but he can't tell if the wheals on his face are still there, he reaches out to touch Kou Xiao's face, and he can feel the pimples. If it existed, he asked, "Does it still itch?"

Kou Xiao didn't want him to worry, but he missed the warmth of the palm, so he rubbed his cheek against his palm, "itch." His coquettish attitude completely pleased Li Xu, so Li Xu took advantage of the cover of the night to move towards He blew on his face, "Well, it won't itch after blowing on it."

Kou Xiao's whole body is petrified, at this moment Li Xu is so gentle, he almost wants to pamper him in his arms, Kou Xiao only feels that his heart is beating so fast, there is an illusion that it is about to jump out of his chest.

He leaned his face closer and begged: "My lord, please take another breath of immortal energy, I feel much better."

Li Xu thought of the scenes of mouth-to-mouth breathing in some film and television dramas, and couldn't help coughing dryly, and pushed Kou Xiao's face away, "Okay, let's go over and have a look, there is a lot of movement over there."

The reason why Li Xu could hear the sound was because the group of people didn't hide their whereabouts after they landed, and they didn't deliberately lower their voices when they spoke. It was estimated that there were at least dozens of people, and they were as lively as those who came to the group building.

Kou Xiao's personal guards were scattered and hid in the grass they passed by. They were all wearing camouflage uniforms, so it was difficult to be found even in the daytime, not to mention the night.

Seeing them approaching, He Zun greeted them first, and said to Li Xu: "My lord, there are 50 people who have gone ashore, and their boat is parked on the south bank. One of General Kou's personal guards went to check."

"Can you see the history?"

"They can hardly understand what they are saying. They should not be from Dayan. They look the same. They are all men, mostly young and middle-aged, with weapons. We suspect they are pirates."

"The disparity in numbers is too great, we have no chance of winning in a fight, right?" Li Xu asked worriedly, the difference in numbers was almost ten times, Li Xu didn't think they could win the fight.

Kou Xiao smiled softly, "Don't worry, my lord, we are in the dark, they are in the light, you don't have to fight face-to-face if you want their lives, even if it is, the last general may not lose."

"Don't forget that you are still a patient." Li Xu didn't dare to let him move, in case the allergic symptoms would become more serious when exposed to heat, he didn't dare to let Kou Xiao take the risk.

They hid for about a quarter of an hour, and the group of people also walked to the edge of the jungle. They probably didn't dare to enter the jungle late at night, and they all rested in place. They lit the fire and set up the boiler, and they started to make supper.

After a while, the guard who went to inquire about the news came back, walked up to Kou Xiao in the dark, and whispered, "My lord, general, they only have one boat, and there are about 20 people on board. The boat is big and old. It should be running on the sea all the year round, and with the experience of a humble job, [-]% of them are undoubtedly pirates."

Kou Xiao frowned and muttered: "What are they doing on this island? Could it be that they used to come to this island often?"

"Probably not. They walked very slowly and seemed to be unfamiliar with the road, but I'm not sure if they knew there was such an island before."

"Do you think they will also have people landing from other directions?" Li Xu thought in the worst direction, that is, someone knew in advance that his mother was on the island and sent people to besiege him, so if the other party didn't know they were on the island Where to go, it is most likely to land on the island from all directions, of course, the premise is that there are so many of them.

"Our ship is parked on the west bank, and that ship is also conspicuous. If they find other ships approaching the island, they will definitely send a signal, but they haven't seen the signal yet, at least there is no one approaching from the west bank." Kou Xiao The analysis said: "Assuming they come with more than one ship, unless there are thousands of people, it is unlikely that they will go ashore in batches. The combat effectiveness will be too weak. What can these 50 people do?"

Li Xu felt that his analysis was correct, nodded and said, "Then what do you think their purpose is?"

"It's more likely that they discovered this island by accident and came up to check the truth."

This is easy to handle, as long as it is not aimed at them, then Li Xu and the others will have enough time to prepare countermeasures.

"You can't scare the snake, otherwise it's better to arrest someone to ask. Always make sure it's an enemy or a friend, and don't kill the wrong person." Li Xu stretched his ears and couldn't hear what the people over there were saying. Even if he could, he probably couldn't. Can't understand.

But since he didn't understand, there was no point in arresting people. He glanced at Kou Xiao and asked him to decide that Kou Xiao was better at handling such things.

Kou Xiao didn't have much tolerance for pirates, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice, "According to what the general said, of course we should be killed, otherwise it will be much more troublesome to deal with them if they find our traces." .”

Li Xu didn't object, "What to do is up to General Kou."

Kou Xiao suddenly felt like being in charge of the house, the blood in his body was excited, he licked his lips, and assigned tasks to the four personal guards, as for He Zun, he still personally protected Li Xu, and he went straight into the jungle .
