Home?
This guy's home is either still a virgin forest or a vast grassland.
What are you looking at?
You might as well be looking at Indians' black balls!
Hey? What's going on? Chai Lingwu, returning from the restroom with his hands swinging, was stunned by the scene before him.
Fang Er glared back at him: Did you bring this guy onto the ship?
Chai Lingwu nodded subconsciously: Ah, yes~
Keep a good eye on him! Fang Er put away his gun, gave Lu Fei a brief instruction, and then pulled Chai Lingwu away.
When they reached outside the cockpit, he stared at Chai Lingwu and asked, "Tell me, how much did you take from him!"
Chai Lingwu waved his hands repeatedly: Brother-in-law, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I didn't take a single copper from him.
After speaking, he seemed to understand something and quickly asked, "What, does this guy have a problem?"
Fang Er looked at him helplessly: How did you get mixed up with him?
Chai Lingwu somewhat awkwardly recounted how they met.
After Motorola followed Fang Er back from Chang'an, he received a hundred thousand taels of silver as pocket money, and the madam he called You Rong was also brought back to Shenyang.
This guy was arrogant when he had money. First, he bought three connected shops in the city, then he imitated "Red Romance" and opened a bathhouse, naming it "Heaven on Earth."
Unlike "Red Romance," the attendants in this place were all women, and very young ones at that, barely sixteen!
This guy, fearing Fang Er, dared not use Han Chinese women, so he exclusively hired Japanese women who came to Shenyang to make a living!
After being trained by You Rong, a professional madam, these Japanese women were as gentle as flowing water, as if they had this talent in their bones.
Within half a month of opening, it caused a sensation in Shenyang's upper circles, and this was how Chai Lingwu was drawn in!
Given his personality, coupled with the status of the Fang and Chai families in Shenyang, he certainly wouldn't be meek. So, after just a few visits, Motorola noticed him.
Upon hearing he was Fang Er's brother-in-law, Motorola treated him with extreme warmth. Whenever new girls arrived, after their training, they would be immediately presented to him for "testing."
Through these interactions, their relationship rapidly heated up, to the point where they were practically inseparable with You Rong!
And Little Mud, the disgraced prince from Sasanian Persia, was also drawn into "Heaven on Earth" by Motorola because they were both foreigners. The three of them gradually became an unbreakable trio!
Upon hearing this, Fang Er wished he could throw this guy into the sea: "You, a dignified second son of a Duke's family, were actually bought off by a few women?"
Chai Lingwu winked at Fang Er with a mischievous grin: "Hehehehe, those aren't just any women. How about I take you to try them out later?"
Fang Er felt thousands of mythical beasts stampeding in his head. Damn it, is this something an elder brother-in-law would say?
If Chai Yue found out, it would be a testament to their sibling bond if he didn't skin him alive!
I'll pretend I didn't hear that. However, since you brought him onto the ship, I'll give you some face.
But we can't just let him do whatever he wants. Assign people to watch him constantly, and absolutely no touching any of the ship's equipment. Do you understand?
Seeing his solemn instructions, Chai Lingwu said somewhat guiltily, "How about we just throw him off at Dengzhou?"
Fang Er pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No need. Just keep an eye on him. If he misbehaves, tie him up!"
Keeping this guy around might be useful later, but trust isn't built overnight. This voyage is also an opportunity to test Motorola.
While the two were talking, the five-oared warship of the Dengzhou Protectorate forces pulled alongside.
Emerging from the cabin, they saw Li Xiaogong clinging to Li Shimin's leg and lamenting something.
"Your Majesty, if you don't take me with you, I'll jump off this ship directly!"
"As someone from the navy, it's bad enough not to have access to such a large ship. How can you bear to have me stand on the shore and watch it sail away from me?"
When he had seen the destroyer from afar on shore, he had been deeply shaken. Now, standing on the deck, his heart surged with emotion.
To him, the destroyer was like a peerless beauty, and a naked one at that. But only to look at, not to touch, which was unbearable!
"Jump~ Go on, jump~" Li Ji added ungratefully from the side, "You said yourself you're from the navy. This little bit of water won't drown you. Who are you trying to scare?"
Li Shimin glared at Li Ji, then pulled Li Xiaogong up: "You, a dignified Protector, how can you act like a little girl?"
"Guard Dengzhou well. If you leave, who will guard this boundless sea for me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaogong immediately pointed at Li Ji: "Let him stay. He knows nothing about naval warfare. What's he doing tagging along? Let him guard Dengzhou, and I'll accompany Your Majesty to sea!"
Li Ji's beard trembled with anger, and he immediately pointed at Li Xiaogong's nose and cursed, "Li Old Nine! You infuriating brat! I was bored to death in Chang'an. After finally getting out for some fresh air, you want me to guard Dengzhou for you. Where's your shame!"
"Hey hey hey~ Speak clearly. Don't make baseless accusations. When did Dengzhou become mine? Xu Maogong, you're trying to stab me in the heart!" Li Xiaogong retorted fearlessly.
"Enough!" Li Shimin was getting a headache from the two of them arguing. "If you want to come, then come. But you must make arrangements for Dengzhou first. If anything goes wrong later, I'll hold you accountable!"
Li Xiaogong was overjoyed and quickly patted his chest to promise, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I made arrangements when I came."
After speaking, he walked to the ship's railing and shouted to the Dengzhou Protectorate forces on the five-oared warship, "Xie Bi'an, Fan Wujiu, bring five thousand men aboard. The rest of you, go back and guard Dengzhou for me well~"
"When I return, I'll take you to Wofu to get wives~"
Soon, as per his orders, the five-oared warship drew closer to the fleet. Once near, the soldiers transferred to two other destroyers using wooden planks.
After the five-oared warship returned to Dengzhou, the fleet set sail northward. Upon reaching Bisha City, they navigated towards the direction of Iwami Ginzan.
Passing through the sea near the silver mine, Li Xiaogong pointed towards it with a lecherous smile and said, "Your Majesty, how about we go ashore for a meal of 'that' before continuing our journey?"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up at the mention: "That's a good idea! To be honest, I miss 'that' too."
Li Ji was about to say something when he suddenly heard footsteps and quickly changed his tune, feigning ignorance and asking, "What is 'that'?"
"The Duke of England is right. I also want to know what 'that' is,"
A pleasant voice sounded from behind them, startling Li Xiaogong so much that he almost slipped off his chair. How did the Eldest Princess sneak over at this time!
