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."
