Gu Guanhai raised an eyebrow when he saw him pondering.

"It won't hurt to take a look."

He said, "Or do you really want to fight me?"

As he spoke, Gu Guanhai turned his head and glanced at Tang Mingde and the others behind him.

Seeing him looking over, Tang Mingde and the others immediately raised their spears, looking ready to fight at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Gu Guanhai's lips curled slightly.

"If a real war breaks out, casualties are inevitable."

He turned to Mike and said, "Although this is your territory, and your men and firepower far surpass mine, I might not be able to beat you, but..."

"I am confident that I can take you with me before I die, and also take this dock of your Western Empire!"

These words were spoken.

Mike: "!!!"

The old man's eyes immediately widened.

Few generals are afraid of death, but...

Their Western Empire's dock was incredibly expensive to build!

It's worth much more than that boatload of grain!

Mike immediately hesitated.

He knew Gu Guanhai's abilities.

He dares to say that because he must be absolutely certain.

But.

If the Western Empire were to suffer such a great loss, even Mike would have a hard time explaining it.

Gu Guanhai: ...

Seeing his hesitation, she immediately smiled.

"Stop overthinking it, just be decisive!"

He said to Mike, "Greed knows no bounds. You've already made a profit by letting my wife and me stay. If you want more, be careful you don't end up losing more than you gain!"

Gu Guanhai was speaking in direct translations of proverbs from the Xia Kingdom, which Mike didn't quite understand.

However, he really didn't want a large-scale firefight to break out at the docks.

at last.

"good!"

He could only say, "If you want to see your grain, go ahead! But if you want to take your grain away, that's absolutely impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Guanhai took his wife's hand and left.

"At this point, how could I possibly want to take my food supplies? General Mike, you're overthinking it."

As he walked, he subtly gave Yu Chengping and Tang Mingde a wink.

Upon seeing this, Yu Chengping and Tang Mingde exclaimed: "!!!"

His expression froze.

This is……

What's the meaning?

Does this mean they should prepare to make a runaway?

Mike heard this and said: "..."

He frowned slightly as he watched Gu Guanhai's departing figure.

Seeing this, Houston couldn't help but step forward.

"General?"

He said, "Are we just going to let him board the ship like that? What if they run away?"

Upon hearing this, Mike rolled his eyes at him with disdain.

Do you think I'm like you?

He said, "I came with heavy troops and heavy firepower. If they dare to run, I'll make sure they sink into the sea!"

Houston was speechless.

He touched his nose sheepishly and remained silent.

As the two were talking, Gu Guanhai had already taken Yu Mingxiang's hand and walked quickly toward the grain transport ship.

Ji Zicheng saw the couple from afar and quickly went to greet them.

"Boss?"

Gu Guanhai: "Have you taken care of everything I arranged for you?"

Ji Zicheng nodded: "It's all done."

Although he didn't know why his boss had ordered him to plant explosives all over the grain transport ships, he always trusted his boss unconditionally. If his boss told him to do it, he would lead his men to do it.

So now...

The entire grain transport ship contained not only grain, but also enough explosives to reduce the entire ship to ashes!

Upon hearing this, Gu Guanhai breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good!"

He said very quickly, "It's all set. When your aunt and I go aboard to check the grain, you can take the opportunity to board the lifeboats and leave!"

"Be quick! No matter what happens later, don't look back!"

"Also, remember to leave a lifeboat in the southeast corner."

"..."

Ji Zicheng: "Yes!"
