Shocking! The entire court was drooling with envy because of me.

"Are the lamb skewers delicious?" Shen Qing's smiling voice rang out.

"tasty!!!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Just eating like this isn't very interesting. Why don't we all take turns describing the taste of these lamb skewers?"

Shen Qing's suggestion was, of course, intended to lure the assassins hiding in the shadows.

Yelü Gan, Yelü Qi, and the others were already enjoying their meal, and upon hearing this, they immediately responded:

"I'll go first! This lamb skewers smell amazing, even better than dragon meat from heaven!"

Yelü Gan's description is really not very impressive; it's about the same as saying "it smells so good it's dead."

Yelü Qi smiled and said, "This mutton has a crispy outer layer with a slightly spicy aroma, but the inside is tender. When you bite into it, the oil and fragrance burst out. It's not gamey at all, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes."

As he spoke, he couldn't resist picking up another string of skewers.

With the two princes leading the way, the soldiers followed suit and began to describe their experiences:

"I felt a unique fragrance that I had never smelled before. When I tasted it, I felt like I was flying to heaven. It was so comfortable."

"The fatty meat is fragrant and oily, and the lean meat is very elastic and not greasy at all."

"I don't know how to describe it, but Madam Shen's roasted mutton is the best roasted mutton in the world!"

"..."

The more they talked, the more excited they became. Some described it in great detail, such as the layers of mutton inside and out, the aroma of the seasonings and the smell of charcoal, while others just kept saying how delicious it was.

These words all reached the ears of the assassin hiding in the shadows.

The delicious aroma filled the air, and before my eyes was a scene of people eating madly, while I could hear the descriptions in my ears.

Anyone could resist that.

"Boss, I really can't take it anymore, I have to go out!!" An Er gritted his teeth and made the decision.

An Yi was startled and quickly grabbed An Er's arm: "Are you crazy?!"

"No, no one can stop me today! I must taste what roasted lamb really tastes like!"

An Er pulled his arm out and strode out.

At that moment, he couldn't care about anything else; all he wanted was to taste the roasted lamb.

"An Er, you..."

Watching An Er's resolute back, An Yi's hand fell limply, and he swallowed hard.

"Boss, let's go too, don't hold back!" An San urged from the side.

"Yes, the sooner we eat it, the sooner we can enjoy it. After today, the mutton will be gone."

"I've never had mutton without any gamey smell before, boss, don't hesitate!"

The assassins kept urging them on; at that moment, they were all incredibly hungry.

An Yi's throat bobbed: "No matter what, we're assassins. Now we're going to go and eat their flesh..."

"What excuse will you use to eat?"

"We can just say that the eldest prince sent us to meet him," An San quickly suggested, his mind racing.

An Yi wiped the drool from his mouth: "Okay, let's go!"

He had already reached his limit, and now that An San had offered an excuse, he didn't have time to think much and immediately led everyone out from the shadows.

When he arrived in front of Shen Qing and the others, he suddenly felt uneasy and at a loss.

"Are you here for roast lamb too?" Shen Qing's voice rang out at that moment.

An Yi: "??"

They nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, we're so hungry! Your roasted lamb smells so good, we just can't resist..."

"Then sit down and have a taste." Shen Qing handed over the grilled lamb skewers.

An Yi was taken aback. It was that simple?

They didn't even ask any questions.

Then the excuse they just prepared will be useless.

I instinctively took the lamb skewer and took a bite.

Your teeth pierce through the charred crust of the mutton, finally reaching the tender and juicy interior. The scalding hot mutton fat flows into your mouth along the meat's texture. The rich aroma of the mutton itself, combined with the salty and savory base flavor, explodes in your mouth with the fragrance of cumin and chili powder.

In that instant, An Yi's eyes widened, and it felt as if thousands of fireworks were exploding in his mind.

It smells so good!

Only after taking this bite did I realize that all those descriptions were meaningless; they didn't even capture a tenth of the deliciousness of this lamb skewer.

"It's true that the sooner you eat, the sooner you enjoy it!" An Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

At this moment, the other assassins also started eating. The group ate voraciously, not even bothering to say a word.

"Burp~"

"Burp~ I'm so full! If I weren't so stuffed, I could eat a hundred more skewers!"

"I can't get enough! I really can't get enough! I wish I had come out to eat sooner..."

Before long, the sound of burping rang out one after another. An Yi and the others rubbed their stomachs, looking satisfied.

When they looked up, they noticed that Shen Qing, Yelü Qi, and the others were all staring at them, as if they were watching a good show.

"Thank you so much for the lamb skewers. We are..." An Yi stammered, inexplicably nervous.

"Are you full?" Shen Qing asked with a smile.

"I'm full, I'm full." An nodded subconsciously, then couldn't help but explain, "We were sent by the eldest prince to meet you..."

"Is that so?" Yelü Qi's lips curled into a strange smile. "Your brother didn't say that just now."

As he spoke, he pointed to Dark Two.

An Yi glanced over and saw that An Er was still eating voraciously, one skewer, two skewers, three skewers, as if he hadn't heard anything. There was a pile of skewers next to him, which meant he had obviously eaten quite a lot.

His eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.

"What did he say?"

"He said you were assassins sent by the eldest prince to kill us!" Yelü Gan said, glaring at him from the side.

Dark One: "..."

Is it really that straightforward? Without any attempt at concealment?

An Er really has no brains at all.

An Yi's face flushed red and then turned pale; he really didn't know how to deal with it.

No wonder these people didn't ask about their background at all and just handed them lamb skewers; it turns out that kid An Er had seen through them completely.

And he even went to the trouble of thinking of what excuse to use...

After a long pause, An had no choice but to admit, "The eldest prince did indeed send us... to assassinate you."

"We were merely following orders. Now that things have come to this, do with us as you see fit!"

"It would be worth it to have such delicious lamb skewers before I die!"

An Yi's words carried a tragic air. After speaking, he took another skewer of mutton and began to eat it in large mouthfuls.

Even if you're stuffed, you have to eat! You'd be missing out if you didn't.

Even in death, I'll be a well-fed ghost!

The assassins, seeing this, thought, "Fine, let's start eating too. We definitely can't win in a fight; we're doomed today."

Instantly, An Yi and the others began to devour the lamb skewers again.

Shen Qing, Yelü Gan, Yelü Qi, and the others stared in shock. Then they looked at An Er next to them, who was still eating. His stomach seemed to be a bottomless pit. No matter what was happening around him, he didn't care and didn't even lift his head.
