The young man thanked the Duke for the reward.
Yelü Yangwei quickly stood up, placed the bottle on the table, and bowed to Fang Er.
Fang Er took a sip from the water bottle, then looked at him and said,
"No need for such formalities. Sit, tell me, what brings you to see this Duke?"
"Uh! Duke, have you forgotten what you said in Chang'an about visiting my King's great tent?"
Hearing Yelü Yangwei's words, Fang Er also remembered it, and felt awkward!
"I said I would go, and it's been over a month, yet we haven't set off."
"Hahahaha, I am truly sorry. This Duke has been too busy lately!"
"How about this, my affairs are now finished. If you have no other plans, I will accompany you to the Khitan King's tent tomorrow, how about that?"
Yelü Yangwei was overjoyed. He had originally thought he would be dismissed with a casual remark again, just like last time, but he didn't expect Fang Er to be so agreeable.
"Then thank you, Duke, for gracing us with your presence! I shall return to prepare and wait for you by the west of Shenyang City tomorrow."
Fang Er nodded, then called for Zhuzi to escort Yelü Yangwei out first, and then prepare for him to travel with Liu Meng's Third Regiment tomorrow.
After Yelü Yangwei left, Fang Er walked around the courtyard, looking at the ewes, feeling a bit worried.
During this period, the merchant who had sold Zhao Gang sheep earlier had sent more than a dozen more, and all of them had been visited by that ram.
He didn't know if these were pregnant. There was no one in the household who understood such things, so it seemed he needed to find an expert.
Returning to the backyard, Chai Yue and the maids were idle and were feeding the big ram.
Despite all the bad things it had done, not only had it not lost weight, but it had also grown stronger than when it was released from the system!
Chai Yue held a shelled egg and moved closer, startling Fang Er.
"Yue'er, stay away from it!"
"Pfft~! Why are you so nervous, my lord? It's fine, Big Horn recognizes people."
Hearing Fang Er's reminder, Chai Yue instead smiled and moved even closer to the ram.
"Big Horn?"
"Does this fellow deserve a name?"
"However, its horns are indeed quite large!"
Fang Er, still a little uneasy, walked over and stayed by Chai Yue's side, afraid that this creature would suddenly attack. A weight of over two hundred pounds crashing into him would not be a joke.
What surprised him was that Big Horn, the rascal, was very gentle with Chai Yue. It lowered its head, bleated twice, and then ate the egg whole.
"Damn! A pervert!"
"A complete pervert!"
Looking at this fellow enjoying itself, Fang Er decided that after returning from the Khitans, he absolutely had to get a thousand ewes back. Damn it, he would squeeze you dry into jerky!
In the evening, he mentioned his departure tomorrow to Chai Yue. Chai Yue looked at him with some reluctance: "My lord, when will you return?"
"Hahahaha, what, you can't bear to part with your lord?"
Fang Er said with a teasing smile.
"No way! I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Chai Yue blushed at his teasing and stomped her foot, intending to leave, but Fang Er grabbed her.
"Come, let's continue to work hard, two children in three years! Hahahaha!"
After saying that, he picked her up and carried her into the room without her consent.
Chai Yue struggled in Fang Er's arms, blushing.
"My lord, what are you doing? Qing'er and Xing'er are watching!"
The maids covered their mouths and giggled.
Fang Er didn't care. He kicked open the room door, and once inside, he slammed it shut.
He had fallen in love with the scent of the Simmons mattress. In one word, it was great!
When he woke up the next morning, he found that Chai Yue was no longer by his side, which was quite unusual.
He got dressed and walked out, and the courtyard was already set with food.
"My lord, hurry and wash up. Breakfast was specially made by Yue'er waking up early!"
Fang Er was horrified!
The fear of being dominated by two-finger-thick chili powder immediately flashed in his mind.
"The father-in-law is not here, who can I find to take the blame?"
After washing up with trepidation, he walked to the table and looked at it, immediately feeling relieved.
Steamed eggs, boiled eggs, egg soup, fried eggs, all eggs.
"Alright, this is fine. Such simple things should be safe."
Fang Er sat down at the table, picked up a peeled boiled egg, and took a bite.
"Mmm, it tastes normal. Confirmed safe!"
After confirming this one was safe, Fang Er didn't touch the others. It was enough to take one risk.
Besides, the uneaten food would be handled by Wangcai, who had also been brought to Shenyang.
After eating four eggs, Fang Er wiped his mouth and stood up.
"Alright, I'm full. You all stay home and be well. I'll be back in at most a month."
He said goodbye to them and walked to Big Horn, giving it a malicious glance. "Little guy, just you wait for me!"
Big Horn seemed to sense something, turned its head to look at Fang Er, and took two steps back.
"Hahahaha!"
Fang Er chuckled, but the next second he saw Big Horn charge at him fiercely, pulling the chain taut with a bang.
"Holy crap!"
He quickly retreated a few steps, startled.
Chai Yue and the maids, who had been feeling a bit down seeing Fang Er leave, were suddenly amused. They covered their mouths and laughed heartily.
Hearing the laughter from behind, Fang Er awkwardly hurried away.
Outside the mansion, Zhuzi and Liu Meng were waiting with their subordinates.
Seeing Fang Er emerge, they stepped forward and bowed.
"My lord, everything is ready. We can set off at any time."
"Then let's go."
Fang Er nodded and got into a nearby pickup truck.
"Depart!"
Zhuzi shouted to the Skyfire Army. The convoy headed north, entering the city from Shenyang's East Gate and exiting from the West Gate. Yelü Yangwei was indeed waiting there with his men.
Seeing that Fang Er had brought so many people, he was startled.
After all, when Goguryeo was destroyed, this Duke didn't seem to bring much more people than this, did he?
Thinking of this, Yelü Yangwei asked with a nervous heart,
"My lord, this is...?"
"The brothers were idle, so I took them out for a stroll!"
"Oh, right, this is what I said I wanted to give you yesterday."
Fang Er, completely unaware of the pressure his two regiments had put on Yelü Yangwei, took a bag of Red Bull from his feet and handed it to him through the car window.
"Thank you for the reward, my lord."
Yelü Yangwei took it, but there was no joy on his face. This was problematic. What if they fell out and started fighting?
"What? Lead the way. It's not early anymore. Let's go sooner and arrive sooner!"
Seeing him not move, Fang Er urged him on. He was still planning to arrive early so he could go catch sheep!
"Uh, my lord, please forgive me. I was a bit lost in thought. I shall depart now."
Yelü Yangwei's mood was conflicted. This was the god he had invited. How could he change his mind halfway?
If he displeased the person in front of him, he might directly march his troops over.
