Chapter 103: Oh! The Reserved Rations Grew Legs! (1 / 2)
No one informed the poor Shihu that he had suddenly gained a half-brother of a completely different lineage.
Everyone was so afraid of being forced to speak that they buried their heads and eagerly drank the soup. The pot was emptied in no time.
Just as Li Shihu was about to say something, the old emperor stood up from his chair. “Shihu, take a walk with me. I’d like to see your tribe.”
Li Shihu immediately abandoned whatever he had been about to say and replied energetically, “Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Xu Yanmiao, you come too.”
“Ah? Oh! Yes, Your Majesty,” Xu Yanmiao responded, quickly setting down his soup bowl, wiping his mouth, and standing up.
Several other ministers, having had their fill, shamelessly followed along.
As they stepped outside, the old emperor pointed to a cliff not far away, streaked with pale marks. “What is that?”
He walked closer as he asked, soon noticing that the white streaks were actually characters carved into the rock with sharp stones.
