After leaving the main camp and walking for a long time, we walked around to the back of the hillside. The main camp was not visible from here.
Cheng Chubi and others picked up the lantern, lit the candle, placed it on top of the lantern, and then began to search under the tree.
Cheng Chubi then moved the lantern closer to the first tree and saw a gray cicada monkey crawling out of the ground.
He stretched out his hand to catch it and put it into the leather bag on his waist. As Cheng Chubi caught it for the first time, Fang Jun over there also caught one.
Soon, Cheng, Li, and Fang, together with seven or eight people accompanying them, kept harvesting the plump cicada monkeys.
Perhaps this place is too remote and no one has caught it all year round. Cheng Chubi felt as if he had entered the base camp of cicada monkeys.
When a lantern shines, there are at least one or two on almost every tree trunk.
This made Cheng Chubi feel that he was not hunting, but picking up.
Cheng Fa was carrying two salt water jars beside him. If one's skin bag was full, he would pour the cicadas in the bag into that salt water jar.
"Brother Chu Bi, this thing is really edible, why does it look so scary..." The more Li Ke scratched at it, the more he felt guilty.
Especially when he saw the strange appearance of the cicada monkey, Li Ke really felt that he couldn't stop talking.
"Brother, how can you judge a monkey by its appearance like this?"
Cheng Sanlang, who was in a state of excitement, suddenly became unhappy when he heard such questions.
"???" The other monkey catchers all looked at Cheng Chubi in confusion, feeling that this topic was insulting.
However, experts have never mentioned the word "human" in the words, which makes it difficult to find evidence.
Cheng Chubi shook the cicada monkey in his hand towards Li Ke.
"Although they look crooked and cracked, underneath their ugly appearance, they possess extremely high nutritional value and extremely delicious taste."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to eat it. Just treat it as a volunteer tonight and help our brothers catch it."
"When I eat it, I will definitely feel my brother's act of kindness with tears of gratitude."
Li Ke continued to move forward with a dark face, thinking it would be better not to pay attention to Brother Chubi who was talking nonsense.
Anyway, when it comes out of the pot, as long as others dare to eat it, I will have a taste of it.

"Huh? What's going on over there?"
The elite left-back ranger who was patrolling outside the camp suddenly felt something was wrong, reined in his mount and looked towards the west of the camp.
In the mountains and forests over there, there are occasional fires swaying.
At this moment, this elite ranger couldn't help but change his expression.
"Lu Qi, quickly return to the camp and report to the general. All other brothers will dismount.
Let's walk over slowly, don't want to scare each other."
Soon, an elite ranger galloped towards the camp.
At this moment, Chai Shao, the Zuowei general, was patrolling the camp, checking whether there were any loopholes in the soldiers' defense.
After working hard for a long time to see if anyone dared to slack off and neglect their duties, I sat down and took a few mouthfuls of hot food, when I heard the rapid sound of hooves coming from outside the tent.
Then I saw a ranger striding in. "General, there are fires on the hillside to the west of the camp."
"It seems like someone is ambushing me on the hillside to the west."
"What?!" Chai Shao was shocked and stood up immediately. He didn't bother to eat, wiped his mouth and walked away quickly.
Just then, he was about to summon the elite troops to go see what was going on. Suddenly, he saw Cheng Sanlang's personal entourage excitedly galloping in from the camp gate with a jar in hand.
"???" When Chai Shao saw this guy, he immediately thought of Cheng Sanlang with a mean smile on his face.
There is also the King of Wu, Li Ke, who looks serious but is actually full of bad intentions.
Could it be that...Chai Shao shouted out of nowhere. "But Cheng Sanlang's personal entourage, where is your young master?"
Cheng Fa heard the loud shouting, turned his head, and saw the distinguished old driver wearing a helmet.
He quickly got off his horse, put down the jar in his hand, and saluted the big man.
Facing this general whose eyes were as sharp as a knife, Cheng Fa could only stand up and say.
"General Chai, my young master...he is bored in the camp.
Just go out for a walk with His Highness King Wu and Second Young Master Fang."
"But behind the west slope? Say it!" General Chai's face darkened, and he squeezed out these words through his teeth.
"Ah, General, how do you know?"
Cheng Fa looked at the general in confusion. His master was obviously very cautious, so why didn't he notice it?
Chai Shao raised his head and took a deep breath of the cool Xia Liang air. Damn it, he knew that he would definitely not be safe where Cheng Sanlang was.
Several generals who came over after hearing the news also heard the news, and one or two of them had extremely strange expressions.
The courageous hero Liu Lang couldn't help but complain.
"What are they doing on that hillside? Even if they are just wandering around, they have to go up the hillside?"
Cheng Fa had never seen such a scene before. Facing a group of ferocious-looking generals, he could only point to the salt water jar at his feet and said.
"My young master and the others are just going to get some snacks. By the way, they say they are some delicious dishes for His Majesty the Emperor to go with wine."
"..." Chai Shao and all the generals on the left guard were speechless.
God damn, get some snacks, especially after hearing the second half of the sentence.
No matter how many generals they have, they don't dare to complain. After all, that person is the emperor's own father.
At this moment, a horse came riding up, it was Zhao Kun, your majesty's trusted guard.
"General Chai, Your Majesty summoned the general to ask questions... Hey, what's going on?"
Chai Shao's eyes twitched and he whispered into Zhao Kun's ear.
Zhao Kun pointed at Cheng Fa with a dumbfounded expression. "What are you still doing? Let them come back quickly."
Cheng Fa quickly agreed, rushed back to his tent with the jar, put it down, and then jumped out of the camp again on horseback.

At this moment, in the large tent in the center of the camp, Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, were sitting across from each other. It was rare for them to have free time to play chess there.
There were some fruits and grape wine placed in front of them. Although these things were not as strong as the essence of the wine.
But at least it could moisturize their throats. The father and son faced each other while eating fruits and sipping the tasteless grape wine.
At this time, Chai Shao finally followed Zhao Kun's footsteps and entered the tent.
"I see your Majesty, I see your Majesty the Emperor..." Chai Shao stepped into the tent and quickly bowed respectfully to the two big men.
"Chai Qing, please get up quickly. You've been working hard these past few days."
"This is just my duty, I don't think it's hard."
Li Yuan stroked his long beard and looked at his son-in-law, the smile on his face couldn't help but become a little more cordial.
"Chai Shao, come here, come here and sit down. We are all a family here, so there is no need to be so rigid."
After hearing what his father said, Li Shimin also motioned for Chai Shao to come closer and sit down.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "This time we went to Jiucheng Palace, but there were a lot more people than before. By the way, those little guys didn't make any noise?"
