Dad, don't be greedy! My brother climbed into the emperor's bed, and I became famous overn

Five miles outside Anyang City, near the military camp, the soldiers had already enclosed a large open area for raising livestock with sturdy wooden fences.

At this moment, the field was filled with a flock of white ducks.

The soldiers of the Northern Army were busy sending bamboo cages, one after another, from the wagons into the pen.

The ducks were kept in cramped cages and bounced around for several days without being fed or given water.

As soon as they landed, they all started yelling at the top of their lungs.

The screeching sounds were deafening.

It was so noisy that my temples were throbbing and my brain felt like it was going to explode.

Gu Mingyue, Gu Mingli, Xiao Ye and their group arrived outside the duck pen.

Upon seeing the Emperor's arrival, General Zhongyi hurriedly stepped forward to report the number of people.

"Your Majesty, the first batch that arrived is about three thousand cages. The main force is still on its way and is expected to arrive in the next day or the day after."

Gu Mingyue turned around and looked at her brother beside her.

"Brother, the duck army will be going out tomorrow. It's up to you to figure out how to make them obedient and easy to control on site."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Gu Mingli readily agreed.

"but……"

He secretly glanced at Xiao Ye, who had his hands behind his back and was watching the duck army with great interest.

He lowered his voice and said to Gu Mingyue, "I need to use the [Beast Language] skill in a bit. You accompany Huang Jiaojiao to sit in the tent for a while and keep her occupied."

Gu Mingyue couldn't help but laugh whenever she thought of her brother's alluring skills.

She pursed her lips, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Okay, as long as you can let Huang Jiaojiao into the house, I can start chatting with him."

"become."

Gu Mingli took a deep breath.

His mind is still foggy today, and he's too lazy to think things through.

It's better to just speak frankly with Xiao Ye.

Gu Mingli walked straight to Xiao Ye's side.

"Um... Your Majesty?"

"Um?"

Xiao Ye withdrew his gaze and turned to look at him.

Gu Mingli scratched the back of his head, chuckled dryly twice, and looked around erratically.

"It's hot and noisy outside. Why don't you go inside the tent and rest for a while? Mingyue would like to discuss with you how to restore the livelihood of the people in Jizhou."

"I'll go say hello to these ducks first."

Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow, looking surprised.

"Say hello to the ducks?"

"Yes! It's about... having some deep, soul-searching communication to arrange the upcoming work tasks."

Gu Mingli forced himself to make up a story.

Xiao Ye looked Gu Mingli up and down, then smiled with narrowed eyes.

"You? Communicate with them? How do you communicate?"

"Oh, please don't ask!"

Gu Mingli didn't give him a chance to continue asking questions.

He simply put his hand on Xiao Ye's shoulder and forcibly pushed and shoved him toward the main tent.

"This is called divine communication! Do you understand? It's a profound subject, a sacred ritual, and cannot be witnessed by others!"

Xiao Ye was pushed forward two steps involuntarily.

She turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of amusement and mischief.

"What? Sorry? This isn't the first time you've acted divinely."

"I even saw you leading ten imperial guards, digging and digging in the courtyard."

"What scene could be more unacceptable than that?"

Gu Mingli's embarrassing past was exposed, and his face flushed red.

"How can that be the same?!"

Last time it was just socially embarrassing, this time it's a complete cross-border shame!

To control hundreds of thousands of ducks this time, I must activate the system's [Beast Language] skill.

This damn skill requires both of the bizarre passive skills, [Body Fragrance] and [Alluring Voice], to be active together to activate!

The thought of exuding an alluring fragrance and issuing commands to a flock of poultry reeking of duck droppings in that bone-melting, shrill voice...

Doesn't he have any pride?!

I don't care! I just can't let Xiao Ye see this!

He hurriedly pushed Xiao Ye to the tent entrance, flung open the tent flap, and coaxed and tricked him inside.

"Please go inside quickly! Let Mingyue keep you company while you have some good tea. I'll be done in no more than half an incense stick's time!"

After saying that, he turned around, ruffled his sister's hair, and whispered through gritted teeth, "..."

"You must stay with Princess Jiaojiao and absolutely forbid him from peeking out, do you hear me?"

Looking at her brother's tragic and fearless appearance, Gu Mingyue suppressed her laughter, pursed her lips, and nodded obediently.

"Alright, I got it. Brother, you... go cast the spell."

At the other end of the duck pen, Gu Mingli had already crawled inside the enclosure.

He sent the Northern Army soldiers on duty three zhang away.

He was left standing alone in the very center of an countless flock of ducks.

He took a deep breath and activated [Beast Language].

In an instant, a rich yet not pungent orchid fragrance permeated from Gu Mingli's skin.

The sweet and delicate fragrance actually suppressed the strong smell of poultry droppings in the surrounding area, and drifted away with the breeze.

Three zhang away, two Northern Army soldiers on guard simultaneously sniffed and looked at each other.

"That's strange...where is that floral scent coming from?"

The effect inside the duck pen was even more immediate.

The ducks, which had been making a racket just moments before, fell silent the instant that strange aroma filled the air.

Hundreds of thousands of ducks turned their heads toward Gu Mingli in unison.

Their tiny, black bean-like eyes were all staring at him.

Gu Mingli glanced at the dense pile of white feathers at his feet, just about to speak.

Suddenly, I heard a creaking sound with a heavy local accent coming from my feet.

"Big Sister, I really like you. Do you like me too?"

Gu Mingli froze and looked down.

At his feet was a rather large male duck flapping its wings.

It cheekily moved closer to a female duck, rubbing against her with its neck stretched and retracted.

The female duck, named "Da Ya," tilted her head haughtily.

After a long pause, he finally replied, "I like you too."

The male duck immediately perked up.

It flapped its wings excitedly and jumped on the spot, squawking loudly:

"Then I'll make you a nest in the mud later, and you can come with me. We'll lay duck eggs every day!"

Gu Mingli: "..."

It's actually depicted in the style of a typical rural romance story!

However, judging from what he said, it seems that the conditions for starting a family are all about the same.

You need to have a place to live first.

Alright, let's get down to business.

Gu Ming cleared his throat.

[Enchanting Voice] Activated.

When he opened his mouth, his voice was clear and gentle, with a damnably lingering, melodious tone at the end.

Each note exudes a captivating charm that can melt the listener's bones.

"My dear little winged creatures~~ Listen up, everyone~~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingli got goosebumps all over his body.

But the effect was excellent; thousands of ducks raised their little heads even higher, as if they were mesmerized by the sound.

"Starting tomorrow, you guys have a lot of work to do!"

The moment that alluring sentence was uttered, there was a moment of silence below.

Immediately, the duck pen erupted in chaos, with quacking and cursing filling the air.
