The Southeast Military Region base.
Li Shimin and the others had returned and were now in the command center, toasting with Li Chengzong.
The former commander of the Military Region, Li Chengzong, was Li Yannian's biological father. He had retired over two years ago and was suffering from an old illness. He had been living in a sanatorium for treatment, but thanks to the medicinal herbs brought by Wang Xuance, he had also experienced the benefits of nourishment from nutrient solutions.
In less than a week, he felt his body become much lighter, and his old injuries were no longer as agonizing.
Coupled with the efforts of Sun Simiao and others, he had completely moved out of the sanatorium.
Although it was now 2030, in terms of methods for recuperating the body, no one could compare to them.
Not to mention anything else, the medicinal herbs alone were not something that could be gathered in this era.
When Fang Er and the others returned to the military region base, Li Xiuning and Xi Tong went shopping together. It was heard that the deputy commander had even dispatched a company of soldiers to escort them.
After chatting with Old Li for a few words, this fellow actually had no intention of returning!
"Anzhi, I plan to stay here for a while. If you have anything to attend to, go ahead and do it yourself!"
"If you have to go back, handle the affairs of the court as you see fit."
"I have great confidence in how you handle things!"
These were Old Li's exact words...
At first, Fang Er thought he had developed a bond with Li Chengzong. But when he noticed the old man's gaze fixed on the mermaids beside Li Ke, he instantly understood.
Damn it!
This old rascal!
He was probably planning to go to the underground world to catch mermaids, wasn't he?
He beckoned Wang Xuance over and whispered, "Keep an eye on the Emperor. Whatever he intends to do, you and the others must stay by his side!"
Wang Xuance: ???
"Lord, the Dukes are all here. You don't need my assistance, do you?"
Fang Er glared at him, "You know nothing! Those old brothers of mine are all in this together. If the Emperor makes a decision, can they stop him?"
"I'll leave the brothers here for you. I'll take Old Xue and Old Su back."
Wang Xuance was disappointed. He knew that Fang Er would definitely be going to the world of those blue-skinned, three-eyed people when he returned, and he also wanted to go...
This was completely different from the meaning of traveling through parallel worlds in the past. This was an opportunity to conquer a new world!
An opportunity to make a name for himself in history and be revered for eternity!
He whispered, "Lord, His Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Wei are both here. Don't you trust them?"
"One is a lecher obsessed with online beauties, and the other is a brute who only practices martial arts with others every day. You expect me to trust them?"
"Uh..."
Wang Xuance couldn't find any other reason to refute.
It seemed that what the Lord said made a lot of sense!
It would be considered a miracle if these two didn't cause trouble. Entrusting them with protecting Li Shimin was indeed a bit far-fetched.
After handling matters here, Fang Er, along with Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, headed towards the Chang'an Peninsula.
The day for the transaction with Katyusha was tomorrow.
In fact, now that he had the underground world as a base, his desire for the Chang'an Peninsula was not as strong.
However, it was not appropriate to change a deal that had already been made at the last minute.
What's more, Katyusha's identity was special enough to serve as a communication bridge between him and side E.
If he needed any help in the future, he could simply find her.
This was solely because that girl was the granddaughter of Old Master Pu...
Otherwise, would it be so easy for our Lord Fang Er to shed his pants?
Didn't you see that even in front of those mermaids who could be called peerless beauties, our Lord Fang Er was not tempted?
This is called principle!
They traveled around the high seas and arrived at the Chang'an Peninsula when it was completely dark.
Just in time, he took out the aircraft carriers, one by one, and lined them up neatly on the sea.
A total of fifty ships!
Connected together, the scene was quite spectacular.
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, over a dozen helicopters flew from the interior of the Chang'an Peninsula towards the Bering Sea.
The sudden appearance of fifty aircraft carriers on the sea had already been detected by their satellites.
"My heavens! Miss Katyusha, what you said before was actually true!"
In the cabin, a general looked at the aircraft carriers on the sea and exclaimed in shock.
Before, when Katyusha brought the transaction terms back, most people in their country dismissed it as a joke.
Fifty aircraft carriers, this was impossible!
Because, in the current era, no country seemed to be able to produce so many aircraft carriers at once!
Moreover, if they truly had such strength, would they need to engage in trade?
It was just a Chang'an Peninsula, they could probably take it by force without much effort!
"I told you, Mr. Fang is a true man worthy of trust!"
"He is not someone that you superficial people can compare to!"
Katyusha thought of the last time she had close contact with Fang Er, her cheeks slightly flushed as she retorted to the general.
The helicopters landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and a group of blonde, blue-eyed individuals disembarked from the cabins one after another.
"Oh, dear Fang, it's been nine years, how are you?"
As soon as she arrived, Katyusha gave Fang Er a big hug.
Fang Er was a bit bewildered. He had only been to the underground world and had only been gone for three days in total...
"Nine years??"
Katyusha smiled, "Yes, don't you have the saying that one day apart feels like three autumns?"
"One day is three years, so three days, isn't that nine years?"
"For the past nine years, I have been missing you desperately..."
After saying that, she gave Fang Er a playful wink, and her slender hand directly went for a "monkey stealing a peach"!
Fang Er: ...
Damn it, this woman was even crazier than Xi Tong when she got wild!
With so many people present, she actually...
He quickly retreated a few steps and awkwardly cupped his hands towards the people behind Katyusha.
"I am Fang Er. May I ask how you are called?"
Katyusha smiled, a very unrestrained smile, and pointed to those people, introducing them to Fang Er.
After listening to the introduction, Fang Er immediately regretted it!
Damn it, these people's names were all too long, he couldn't remember them at all!
He only remembered that Katyusha had just mentioned three experienced drivers, and he had completely forgotten the other four, not even their suffixes!
After a somewhat awkward conversation with these people, they began the handover.
In reality, there was not much to it. They simply sent people to take the ships away and withdrew the management personnel left on the Chang'an Peninsula. It was that simple.
As for the original inhabitants on the Chang'an Peninsula, they were free to stay or leave, entirely at their own discretion.
