Chapter 858 - 747, Farewell_2
Yan Wenkai approached the escort team without heading over to the Dong Family but instead went straight to the officers, offering a large watermelon: "Brothers have worked hard, haven’t they? On such a hot day, this task is particularly grueling."
The head officer, recognizing Xiao Yeyang, didn’t dare put on airs and quickly responded with a smile, "Not at all, we’re just serving His Majesty."
Yan Wenkai gave him a ’well done’ look and pulled out a dagger to slice the watermelon: "Everyone have a taste, nothing quenches thirst like a slice of watermelon on a hot day."
The officers all looked toward their leader.
Knowing they were there to see off the Dong family, the officer didn’t attempt to stop them, but he said, "Sir, we have a fixed distance to cover each day and must not delay too long."
Wenkai patted his shoulder: "Don’t worry, we also work for the court and won’t make things difficult for you."
Hearing this, the officer visibly relaxed and then called his men to eat the watermelon.
"How sweet!"
Yan Wenkai smiled as he watched the officers and spoke with their leader, occasionally glancing toward Xiao Yeyang and the others who were engaged in conversation with the Dong family.
"Auntie, I’ve brought you a couple of sets of clothes to change into, and some common medicines. The journey to Xiliang is long; you must take care."
