Chapter 199: Bringing Ancient Dad to See the World
After the father and daughter finished reminiscing about the past, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Yan Feibai picked up the teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, his expression straightened and his tone became serious: "Wanwan, Dad came back this time, not only to see you, but also to discuss something important with you."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wanwan's expression became serious and he sat up straighter: "Dad, go ahead."
Yan Feibai pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "The situation at the border isn't optimistic. There were spies in the army earlier, and in order to catch them all, Dad had to fake his own death in the chaos to escape, which exposed their true intentions. But Dad didn't expect that there was someone else behind this..."
"The emperor's people."
Yan Wanwan calmly took over the conversation, "Dad, you found out that the person who wanted you dead was actually the emperor you always supported. You must be heartbroken, right?"
Yan Feibai suddenly looked up and looked at Yan Wanwan in astonishment, his eyes full of shock: "How did you know?"
He didn't expect that his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was so smart and sharp, as if she had already seen through everything.
Yan Wanwan smiled faintly, and mysteriously dipped her fingertips in water and wrote a word on the table, "Not only do I know this, I also know that you are preparing...!"
Yan Feibai stared at the arrogant word "anti" on the table in shock. Before he could recover from his shock, he heard Yan Wanwan say, "Dad, you came from Qin Yu's place. I guess he means the same thing, right?"
"you……"
Yan Feibai was speechless for a moment, too shocked to speak.
If the person in front of him was not indeed his own daughter, he would almost suspect that this was a spy planted by the emperor by his side.
Seeing this, Yan Wanwan patted her father's shoulder affectionately and said in a relaxed tone, "Father, you are so wise and insightful. As your daughter, how could I not have noticed it?"
Yan Feibai laughed heartily and shouted proudly, "Well, you are worthy of being my daughter, Yan Feibai, but..."
"Dad, don't worry! I, your daughter, will never hold you back. Come on, I'll take you to see something."
After saying that, she immediately ordered the housekeeper to arrange a vehicle and took Yan Feibai for a quick drive, eventually stopping in front of a vast farmland.
After Yan Feibai got off the car, he was stunned when he saw the endless amount of food in front of him.
"This is?"
"This is my experimental farmland in Nanping Prefecture. It can be used as your grain warehouse."
Yan Feibai couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "How much food can be grown in this little space?"
Yan Wanwan glanced at the farmland and said casually, "It's not much, just enough for the people of our three Great Xia countries to eat."
"Only three..."
Yan Feibai didn't react for a moment, then his eyes widened and his voice rose an octave, "How much did you say?!"
The Prince of Zhennan, who had never lost his composure even when facing an army of thousands on the battlefield, was almost speechless at this moment. He stared at Yan Wanwan, as if to confirm whether she was joking.
Yan Wanwan's ears were buzzing from her father's roar. She couldn't help but rub them and said helplessly, "Dad, you heard right. The yield of this farmland is indeed enough to feed three Great Xia countries. However, the land is still a little small. If the whole country can plant crops, not only the Great Xia country, but also the neighboring countries will not starve."
Her tone was understated, as if she was talking about a normal thing.
However, Yan Feibai was stunned after hearing this. He felt that he was so embarrassed that he almost dug a big hole with his feet. Other people's girls were just making empty promises, but his daughter was just cheating people!
He swallowed hard and tried to persuade her in a gentle tone, "My dear, let's be realistic and don't exaggerate."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wanwan narrowed her eyes and said in a dangerous tone, "Dad, you don't believe me?"
Yan Feibai immediately jumped up, patted his chest and promised solemnly: "How could that be possible! You are my daughter, who else can I trust if I don't trust you?"
However, when he looked up and met Yan Wanwan's direct gaze, the rest of the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.
He laughed dryly, his tone a bit awkward. "Well, my dear, with such a small place, it's hard to support an entire country, let alone three people... Just tell your father about this, but don't tell anyone else."
After saying this, he nodded with a good feeling about himself, secretly pleased in his heart: "I am such a considerate and good father. I am so concerned about my daughter's feelings. It's really beautiful."
Seeing this, Yan Wanwan immediately raised her eyebrows, with a hint of helplessness and amusement in her eyes.
She turned and gave an order to the coachman, and then the carriage turned and drove towards the distant mountains and forests.
Yan Feibai looked at her blankly and couldn't help asking, "Girl, where are you going again?"
Yan Wanwan raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her tone was filled with mystery and confidence: "Dad, your daughter will take you to see the world."
Yan Feibai was stunned for a moment, feeling a little uneasy, but seeing his daughter's confident look, he couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
He shook his head and muttered softly, "What on earth is this girl doing..."
The carriage sped along, passing through farmland, over mountains and forests, and finally stopped in front of an open valley. After Yan Feibai got off the carriage, the scene before him made him hold his breath for a moment.
In the valley, neatly arranged fields stretch endlessly, their golden ears of rice gleaming in the sun like a golden ocean. Further out, there are orchards and vegetable fields, laden with fruit and thriving with life.
Although all the farmland is growing well, there is a fatal problem: the area is too small.
Soon the carriage stopped at the entrance to the forest, and Yan Wanwan got out first. "Dad, can you take a few steps?"
Yan Feibai looked at the distant forest in confusion, wondering what was in it. But seeing his daughter's high spirits, he couldn't be a spoiler. Let's go! How far can we go...
An hour later, he was deeply slapped in the face by his own words.
The scorching sun above his head made him dizzy and his head swollen. Somehow, he didn't feel tired after fighting at the border for three consecutive days, but after only walking for an hour, he felt difficulty breathing and a tightness in his chest.
"Daughter, how far is it?"
Yan Wanwan saw the pale corners of his mouth and quickly grabbed his hand. Suddenly, a comfortable force surged into his body. Yan Feibai's breathing became smoother and his chest was no longer stuffy.
What's going on? Is my daughter capable of magical powers?
Yan Wanwan explained, "I set up a little trick here. I saw that you didn't react at all, so I thought it had no effect on you!"
"..."
It seems that he had endured everything in vain.
"Mechanism? What mechanism?" Yan Feibai looked around. There were no knives, forks, swords or halberds hidden around.
"It's just a little sound thing." She didn't explain in detail. Even if she explained too much, no one would understand what infrasound was.
After they walked for a while, Yan Feibai couldn't help but ask, "Girl, what exactly is that sound mechanism you just mentioned? Why do I feel more and more uncomfortable the more I walk?"
"Oh! I don't know how to explain it, but if you keep going inside, your internal organs will explode and you will die silently."
Yan Wanwan said it so calmly, but Yan Feibai broke out in a cold sweat. What did it mean to die silently? He had never seen such a mechanism before. If this trick was used on the battlefield, wouldn't it be... exciting just thinking about it!
"Dad, don't think too much. This thing is only suitable for the mountains and forests. The process is complicated and it is not easy to mass-produce."
Yan Feibai: "..."
