Duolong glanced at Ao Bai's family members, his eyes darting around a few times.
"Reporting to Lord Li, these are all Ao Bai's wives and concubines. Please take a look!"
Li Huan said, "What's so great about a group of women?"
Duolong smiled ambiguously: "In Aobai's mansion, there are many wives and concubines, all of them beautiful and pleasing to the eye!"
Clearly, Duolong encouraged Li Huan to take possession of Ao Bai's wives and concubines.
Li Huan pretended to be very interested and walked up to Ao Bai's family members, observing them closely.
There are slender young women and voluptuous mature women.
There were also blonde, blue-eyed Western beauties and dark-skinned African American women.
Duolong gritted his teeth and said, "Aobai is too despicable! He has married so many wives, not only beautiful, but also of all kinds!"
Li Huan deliberately said, "Mr. Duo, which woman do you like? You can bring her home to enjoy."
A flash of excitement suddenly appeared in Duolong's eyes, but he pretended to be righteous and awe-inspiring.
“This humble servant is pure of heart and has no desires, and never gets close to women. How could I possibly covet Ao Bai’s wives and concubines?”
Li Huan said, "Ao Bai has been imprisoned and his property has been confiscated. His wives and concubines will be destitute and unable to survive. Choosing one of them to take home is like doing a good deed!"
Duolong was intimidated by Li Huan's authority and failed to embezzle any money, which made him extremely depressed. Now that he had the opportunity to get a beautiful woman, how could Duolong miss it?
He chuckled and said, "Lord Li is absolutely right. I'll do a good deed then..."
As he spoke, Duolong's gaze swept over Ao Bai's wives and concubines.
The guy was overwhelmed by the choices and couldn't decide which one to pick.
Taking the opportunity, Li Huan said, "How old are you? Do you want me to help you choose?"
Duolong was overjoyed and said with a smile, "Lord Li's taste is exceptional, and his aesthetic level far surpasses that of this humble servant! If Lord Li would help this humble servant make a choice, this humble servant would be eternally grateful!"
Li Huan pointed to the woman standing in the first position: "She looks very pretty, but she has dark circles under her eyes, which means she's not getting enough sleep. She's not suitable for someone her age!"
“Yes, not suitable!” Doron chimed in. “This subordinate doesn’t like women with dark circles under their eyes!”
Li Huan pointed to the second young woman: "Look, she's too voluptuous. She's obviously a woman with a high sex drive. Mr. Duo was poisoned yesterday and hasn't recovered yet. This young woman isn't suitable for Mr. Duo!"
"It's not appropriate, it's definitely not appropriate..." Duolong said insincerely, staring intently at the young woman's waist.
Li Huan pointed at the Western beauty: "Well, this is even less suitable for someone your age. With your physique and strength, you can't compare to Ao Bai at all, so how could you possibly win over Ao Bai's Western wife?"
Duolong looked up at the tall, beautiful Western woman and couldn't help but swallow hard: "This humble servant is far inferior to her and will not humiliate myself further..."
Li Huan pointed at the woman with dark skin: "Forget about this one, it definitely won't suit everyone's taste."
Duolong nodded: "Lord Li is truly a kindred spirit! I have always admired fair-skinned beauties!"
Finally, Li Huan pointed to an elderly woman and said with a smile, "How old are you? She's perfect for you!"
Duolong's eyes widened: "She...she's not Ao Bai's wife or concubine, but Ao Bai's mother, who's already eighty years old!"
Li Huan said with a smile, "It's precisely because Ao Bai's mother is old and needs someone to take care of her that we should take her back to our mansion and care for her until her death. That would be doing a good deed!"
Duolong looked extremely embarrassed.
Ao Bai's mother was overjoyed: "Great! Great!"
Duolong roared, "You little brat! Watch out or I'll beat you up!"
Li Huan hurriedly said, "You're such a grown man, you can't be rude! As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure! After you bring Ao Bai's mother home, you must treat her with utmost respect, pay your respects morning and night, and take good care of her. You can't be negligent in the slightest!"
Duolong said with a mournful face, "Doesn't this mean I have two old mothers now?"
Li Huan said, "That's right, you have to serve Ao Bai's mother like you would your own mother!"
Duolong was on the verge of tears.
Li Huan patted Duolong on the shoulder: "I will report your kindness to the Emperor, and he will definitely look at you with new respect!"
Duolong's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed and said, "Lord Li's words have enlightened me! I will serve Aobai's mother as if she were my own mother!"
Immediately afterwards, Duolong ordered his guards to take Aobai's mother home.
Li Huan said, "As for Ao Bai's wives and concubines, give each of them a sum of money and send them away to fend for themselves."
"Yes, sir!" Doron obeyed.
Just then, two men carrying boxes walked over.
"Reporting to Lord Li! A foreign gun and a Heavenly Silk Armor have been discovered in Ao Bai's treasury!"
Duolong hurriedly reached out and picked up the "Heavenly Silkworm Armor".
"This Heavenly Silkworm Armor, once worn, is impenetrable by anything!"
Li Huan picked up the foreign gun: "This gun can penetrate anything! What would happen if we used a foreign gun to shoot the Heavenly Silkworm Armor?"
Duolong laughed and said, "Simple! Find a fearless warrior, have him put on the Heavenly Silk Armor, and have Lord Li fire a shot. We'll know the result then!"
Li Huan said, "Hmm, that makes sense! But warriors are hard to find. I might as well put on the Heavenly Silkworm Armor myself and let some adults shoot me!"
After saying this, Li Huan prepared to put on the "Heavenly Silkworm Armor".
Duolong quickly stopped him: "Lord Li, you are the Emperor's confidant and a pillar of the nation. How can you risk such a thing?"
Li Huan hummed in agreement and said approvingly, "Thank you for the reminder, Master Duo. You truly are my good brother! Although we're not sworn brothers, your concern is stronger than that of blood brothers, which warms my heart!"
Duolong said with a fawning smile, "It is my greatest honor to be brothers with Lord Li! For Lord Li's safety, I am willing to risk my life!"
Li Huan said, "Since you are so brave, then I would like to trouble you to put on this Heavenly Silkworm Armor in my place so that I can fire a shot!"
Duolong was immediately dumbfounded.
Once he had made those bold pronouncements, Duolong couldn't take them back, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on the "Heavenly Silkworm Armor."
Li Huan felt joy in his heart.
He raised his rifle and aimed it at Doron.
Sweating profusely, my legs were trembling.
Duolong pleaded nervously, "Lord Li, please aim carefully! If I die, who will take care of my elderly mother—no, my two elderly mothers—until they pass away?"
Li Huan said, "If you are shot to death by a foreign gun, I will report to the Emperor and have it counted as a death in the line of duty, a sacrifice for the country, and I will give you a proper burial!"
Duolong trembled all over, his face ashen.
Li Huan continued aiming, deliberately trying to scare Duolong and torment his nerves.
Instantly, a yellow liquid dripped from beneath Doron's robe.
Holy crap!
Duolong was terrified.
Li Huan suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone,
"No way, how old are you! You're the 'Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guard,' a veteran of countless battles, what kind of situation haven't you experienced? You're so scared you wet your pants?"
