Ji Zicheng was taken aback when he saw this.

"Boss!"

He instinctively shouted, "Where are you going?"

Gu Guanhai did not turn around.

"We cannot afford to lose a single grain of our food!"

He said, "Do you know the essence of the strategy of 'openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass'? The essence is that the plank road being openly repaired must be attractive enough."

It concerns his wife's safety.

This concerns the dignity of the Xia Kingdom.

This concerns whether Xia Kingdom can, despite its technological blockade, declare to the world that though weak, it is not to be bullied. Gu Guanhai…

There was no choice.

He had made his decision almost before he decided to head to the Lower Empire.

The bait for this battle cannot be Cheng Yu.

That is, his brother-in-law now.

It wasn't that he didn't trust his brother-in-law's loyalty and competence; it was simply that his status wasn't high enough or significant enough to attract everyone's attention.

But he was different.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Guanhai strode away.

Towards the point where the two armies are facing off.

Towards a place that could turn into a battlefield at any moment.

Ji Zicheng: "Boss!"

He cried out, his eyes wide with fury.

However, he also knew what he needed to do at this time.

"shipment!"

"The boss is buying us time, hurry up and load it onto the ship!"

Ahead lay the battlefield where the two armies clashed, and behind them were the people transporting grain.

This dock is located at the border between the Western Empire and its neighboring country. They've already taken care of all the necessary arrangements. Once the grain can be loaded onto the ships and the grain ships can leave the dock, they will head towards the adjacent waters of the two countries. Then…

They always manage to carve out a bloody path across the vast ocean!

With that in mind, Ji Zicheng followed the men below and joined the grain transport team.

Gu Guanhai, who was leaving: "..."

Hearing his shouts, I couldn't help but sigh.

Ji Zicheng...

That's too simplistic of an idea.

Does he really think that if he captures him, the Western Empire will let the grain leave?

Impossible!

The Western Empire would never let go of an opportunity to seize the lifeline of the Xia Kingdom and cripple it, even if...

Knowing full well that Xia Kingdom had already deployed its restricted weapons, they were certain that Xia Kingdom wouldn't dare to do anything about it.

so.

There is only one person who can determine the outcome of today's dispute, and that is...

His wife!

His wife walked out of the research base alive and successfully arrived here.

Only they have a chance to complete the mission perfectly!

Otherwise, even if the grain transport ships reached the sea, they would be surrounded and intercepted.

Thinking this, Gu Guanhai quickened his pace again.

He was indeed trying to buy time.

He was buying time for his wife.

It also drew fire to his wife.

Ahead.

The stalemate between the two armies has become increasingly tense.

Amid the shoving and pushing, some people raised their guns, glaring at the other side with bloodshot eyes; a fight was about to break out.

Just as Tang Mingde and Houston, who had retreated to the edge of the battle zone, thought that a fight was really about to break out, a deep voice came from behind Tang Mingde.

"I heard someone is looking for me."

Gu Guanhai slowly walked out from the opposing crowd.

His steps were as steady as ever, and his expression as calm as ever, as if he were not on a tense battlefield.

"Here I am, aren't I?"
