718: Chapter 722: Thick-skinned
Su Tang was taken aback.
Then her little face turned rosy, seemingly very excited.
She said, “So, the King values our Roast at so highly!
This is truly our honor, if the King does not mind, please feel free to enjoy.”
Seeing that they had finally understood his intentions, Liao Li couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
He eagerly took the Roast at handed to him by Yadang and bit into it without delay.
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, delicious and juicy.
Perhaps it was because he had been hungry for too long, but Liao Li felt that the Roast at in his hand was the best he had ever tasted!
If he could have a bowl of fragrant rice at this mont, Liao Li thought to himself, he’d close his eyes in pure bliss, letting out a satisfied sigh.
While Liao Li was enjoying himself, Bai Ling was stamping her foot in impatience on the side.
She was very nearly ready to lunge forward and snatch the food right out of Liao Li’s mouth.
Su Tang found it amusing, so she gave Bai Ling a piece of Roast at.
The father and daughter devoured the food, disregarding their image with gri sared all over their hands and around their mouths.
After pigging out, their bellies were round and they burped satisfyingly.
Their insides were pacified, and they felt significantly more comfortable.
Even the previously irritated Bai Ling seed notably calr.
Liao Li, having eaten his fill, pulled out a piece of coarse cloth from his sleeve to wipe his mouth before stuffing it back in.
Su Tang crinkled her nose in disgust.
She had no idea when was the last ti he had washed that cloth.
It was sared with dark layers of grease.
She was surprised that Liao Li did not mind.
Liao Li smiled contentedly before speaking.
“The taste of the roast at is indeed amazing.
How about this: from now on, I’ll send my share of at over.
You guys can roast it for .
Shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Ha ha.”
Gaiyin smiled faintly, “We’d be honored to be able to help the King.”
Liao Li nodded in satisfaction.
From the corner of his eye, he spotted two skewers of uneaten roast at by the fire.
Thinking about the delicious taste of the Roast at, his mouth salivated uncontrollably.
But he was absolutely full.
Rembering the insolent Emperor’s attitude when he first arrived, Liao Li picked up the two remaining skewers of Roast at.
He explained, “There won’t be enough for you guys to divide these two skewers.
I’ll send you so more at in a bit.
I’ll take these two back for the Emperor to taste.”
A glint of cunning flashed in everyone’s eyes.
Gaiyin gave a slight smile, “It’s kind of the King to think of us, so we won’t keep you any longer.
For so strange reason, we’ve been feeling a bit lethargic lately.
We should rest well after having our al.”
The rest of them imdiately coughed, staggered, or acted dizzy.
Only then did Liao Li rember, the at he had just eaten was poisoned!
He calmly patted Gaiyin on the shoulder, “Well then, I won’t disturb you any longer.
Take care of yourselves and get so good rest!”
“Farewell, King!”
After Liao Li left with Bai Ling.
Only then did a look of disgust erge in Su Tang’s eyes.
What did he an by ‘convenient’?
What did he an by a ‘small favor’?
This Liao Li’s thick skin is even tougher than the City Wall!
He has completely redefined her understanding!
Although sickened, their unintentional act had greatly helped them!
They were wondering how to get the Roast at into the Emperor’s hands, yet they walked right up to them on their own.
“Right, we did it.
We’ve taken a successful first step.
For the next few days, let’s lay low to lessen their vigilance.
The Emperor may be cunning and arrogant, but as long as there are no major blunders on our part, he’s as good as dead!”
