第775章 送别国师

京城生乱，别衡身为国师，必须回去坐镇，以防宵小祸乱朝纲，而安里和火火几人则继续留在这里，反正有魅儿和铁头狼两大护法护着，比回京城的别衡还要安全得多。

At this time, it was just around noon. After a busy night, Anli and Bieheng were both tired and hungry. However, Bieheng was in a hurry to return to the capital and had no time to sleep at all. Therefore, Anli decided to personally cook a delicious meal for Bieheng to ensure that he would not leave on an empty stomach.

Huohuo spent two days frolicking around, causing quite a bit of mischief, but also got a general understanding of the situation here. As for the kitchen, which was of utmost importance, he was even more familiar with it, as if it were his own home.

An Li asked Bie Heng to take a rest for a while, while she asked Huo Huo to lead the way to the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for Bie Heng.

Although Yu County was tightly sealed off by the White Lotus Sect, and the surrounding area within a radius of ten miles was cleared out by the White Lotus Sect, leaving it desolate and uninhabited, the White Lotus Sect was not completely cut off from the outside world, as evidenced by the large number of White Lotus Sect members in Linjiang City.

Furthermore, the White Lotus followers would urge the common people to grow wheat and vegetables, so they not only had no shortage of ingredients but also had an abundance of them.

Anli found potatoes, wood ear mushrooms, radishes, Chinese cabbage, mutton, rabbit meat, beef, and white fungus in the kitchen... It was almost comparable to the extravagant city lord of Linjiang City, who indulged in fish and meat.

After fiddling around for a long time, with the help of Huo Huo and Xiao Xiangxiang in the kitchen, An Li made a total of twelve dishes, including shredded pork with potatoes, shredded pork with garlic sauce, boiled mutton, boiled beef in hot chili oil, stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage, sweet soup with white fungus and lotus seeds, and more.

“国师，多吃点，吃饱好上路。”

饭桌上，安里不停地为别衡夹菜，别衡碗里的菜都堆成一座小山，火火羡慕地看着爹爹，很是怀疑他只是娘亲和爹爹的一个意外……

Bie Heng rolled his eyes at An Li in annoyance. Was he being treated like a pig? He had heard of people urging others to drink, but never urging others to eat. Moreover, why did An Li's words sound so awkward?

Oh, I remember now. Isn't this the phrase "Dalang, time to take your medicine" that he jokingly said to Anli in private?

Thinking of this, Bieheng glared at Anli again. Could he not wish him well for once?

"Alright, Xiao Lizi, stop putting food on my plate. I'm full," said Bie Heng, feeling conflicted and losing his appetite.

An Li looked at Bie Heng in confusion and asked, "Imperial Tutor, there's still so much food left. We can't waste it. I don't think you've eaten enough."

Here is the translation with original HTML tags preserved:Bie Heng was speechless. "I know better than you whether I'm full or not. You're not a tapeworm in my belly. I don't need you to think, I need me to think!"

After eating this farewell meal, An Li and the others quietly bid farewell to Heng as he left. Mei'er had a path leading outside, where Xu Yan was waiting.

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:An Li gazed affectionately at Bie Heng, while Lu Xiaoyue stared adoringly at Xu Yan.

After picking up Bie Heng, Xu Yan turned back to Lu Xiaoyue and smiled, giving her a look that said "I'll marry you as soon as I return", instantly melting Lu Xiaoyue's heart.

别衡和许言走了许久，安里仍旧看着他们离去的方向，陆小月想叫安里回去，却听到安里喃喃自语：“阿衡，菜还没吃完呢……”

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Lu Xiaoyue's melted heart instantly became chaotic. Why was Xiao Lizi's resentment so deep? Even after leaving, she still couldn't forget him!

After returning to the Enchanted Palace again, An Li pulled Huo Huo and said affectionately with a face full of warmth, "Huo Huo, come, let's eat..."

Here is the translation with original HTML tags preserved:Huohuo hurriedly grabbed Xiaoxiangxiang and swiftly ran off to who knows where, thinking to himself, Mother has gone crazy!

Bie Heng returned to the capital city, so naturally the initial plan to eliminate the White Lotus Sect followers in Yu County could not be realized. An Li then thought about gathering more intelligence on the War God Army, thinking it might come in handy later.

Although Situ Yao, the biggest backer nowadays, was escorted back to the headquarters by Situ Lie, he still left An Li with a lot of room for activities. Except for restricted areas like mountain valleys, An Li had unimpeded access to all other places.

安里尽管还惦记着那个被她和司徒瑶救下的女子，却因无法接触到山谷的秘密而作罢。

“火火，你们上次去的药草园，里面有没有一种会散发着微光的药草啊？”安里想着那晚村里的男子吃下的那株奇怪的药草，忽然起了去药草园的心思，她和别衡猜测过，那种药草很可能与战神军有关，如果能在药草园找到，那她对战神军的了解就更深一层。

Huohuo carefully recalled the scene he saw that night when he went to cause trouble. Anyway, no one dared to harm them, so they ran into the herb garden without any fear. Huohuo then told Anli everything he saw: "I didn't see the glowing herbs you mentioned. We saw many dark plants, like vines, crawling everywhere and smelling bad. I won't go there again next time."

Anli was still a bit unwilling to give up and asked again, "Have you looked through the entire herb garden?"

"No, it was pitch dark there and really scary. I was afraid that ghosts were hiding inside and might scare Xiao Xiangxiang, so I set the whole place on fire," Huohuo said earnestly while pinching his nose and shaking his head.

Anli glanced at Xiaoxiangxiang, who had a calm expression, and then looked at Huohuo, who seemed frightened. He had a feeling that Huohuo was scared of ghosts and had burned down the herb garden herself.

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:"I'm going to the herb garden to find a glowing herb. Huohuo, you lead the way for me." An Li forcibly threatened Huohuo, saying that if he didn't go, he wouldn't let him play with Xiao Xiangxiang. Huohuo immediately gave in.

Herb Garden.

Huo Huo glanced at the two small minions guarding the door, slightly raised his chin, and said indifferently, "Open the door, I'm injured, and I need to go inside to find medicinal herbs."

Xiao Xiang Xiang covered her mouth and giggled.

Anli disguised himself slightly as Huohuo's attendant. Seeing Huohuo's appearance, he couldn't help but roll his eyes. This child Huohuo has become arrogant, and Xiaoxiangxiang has also learned bad habits from him.

When the two little minions saw Huo Huo coming to the herb garden again, they almost cried. Last time, Huo Huo burned down half of the herb garden with a single torch, and the two unfortunate fellows responsible for guarding the herb garden were slashed twice by their furious boss. That's how they were assigned to this place. Who would have thought that this little ancestor would come again? Isn't this asking for their lives?

"Fire... Young ancestor, how come you have time to come and play here today?" Although the two guard lackeys wished in their hearts that Fire would leave quickly, they still maintained an enthusiastic and happy smile on their faces.

However, Huohuo's next sentence made them want to die, their smiles disappearing and their faces instantly turning into zombie-like expressions: "You don't need to worry, really. Last time, burning down half of the herb garden was just an accident. I apologize to you here. I'm sorry."

Huohuo's apology was sincere, and his pair of pure and clear eyes blinked, almost melting their hearts. However, they were not happy at all, thinking to themselves that the two brothers guarding the gate had both died. If you were truly sincere, you should go to their graves and offer incense.

Here is the translation to English, preserving the original HTML tags:Seeing Huohuo's serious appearance, the two suddenly felt that Huohuo was very likely burning incense for them in advance...

An Li couldn't help feeling a little sympathy for them, but what needed to be done still had to be done.
