He was telling the truth!
His wife has plenty of ways to deal with him, and she also possesses superb medical skills with spiritual spring water. Even if he only has one breath left, she can bring him back to life!
If that's the case, why is he still making such a fuss?
Mike laughed upon hearing this.
He laughed loudly and said, "Since that's the case, can we have a proper talk?"
Gu Guanhai: "What do you want to talk about?"
"Talk about whether you live or die, and..."
Mike raised his hand and pointed to the grain ships moored at the dock in the distance, saying, "And that batch of grain."
Gu Guanhai was speechless upon hearing this.
His brows furrowed slightly.
"I stayed!"
He said in a deep voice, "Let my wife and that shipment of grain leave the country."
These words were spoken.
Yu Mingxiang's expression immediately changed.
As part of the deal, Gu Guanhai's decision to stay at this point certainly doesn't mean he'll simply stay; it likely means he'll risk his life here.
Upon hearing this, Mike smiled and shook his head.
"NONONO!"
He said, "If your wife doesn't show up, I might agree to your condition."
“If we exchanged that batch of grain for a fierce general from the Xia Kingdom, our Western Empire would not have lost out. However, your wife has appeared.”
"Gu Hai, a good general is one who has no weaknesses!"
"Now that your weakness is also on this land, what right do you have to negotiate with me?"
Gu Guanhai exclaimed upon hearing this: "!!!"
His brows were furrowed tightly.
But the next second...
He sneered, "Are you sure I can't bear to part with my wife?"
Mike nodded.
"certainly."
He said, "The information I received is that you haven't married for many years. Now that you've married, you must love her very much!"
"Now that she's walked right into our trap, it seems a bit unreasonable for me not to use her to threaten you?"
Gu Guanhai was speechless upon hearing this.
He subconsciously looked down at the person in his arms.
Their eyes met.
Yu Mingxiang smiled slightly.
They had no awareness whatsoever that they were walking into a trap.
She figured it out.
If she doesn't come, Gu Guanhai will most likely use himself as a bargaining chip to get that batch of grain out of the country.
In that case, that batch of grain could be exported, but...
Gu Guanhai, however, would fall into the hands of the Western Empire as a bargaining chip.
Since they are bargaining chips, then...
Even if Gu Guanhai gets into trouble in the Western Empire, the Xia Kingdom cannot use that as an excuse to do anything.
Yu Mingxiang: "..."
He looked at Gu Guanhai and sneered.
So, from the very beginning, this man had made up his mind to exchange his body for food!
That's a nice idea, but you didn't even ask her if she agreed!
Their eyes met.
Gu Guanhai: "!!!"
Seeing the cold smile on his wife's face, he subconsciously shivered.
It’s over!
My wife saw right through me!
He looked at his wife, but said to Mike, "It seems you've made up your mind not to let our Xia Kingdom transport that batch of grain?"
Mike: "Heh."
He smiled and said, "If it were you, would you let this batch of grain leave the country?"
Gu Guanhai took a deep breath, "No!"
He'd be unlikely to let someone who tries to trip up his opponent get away with it!
so.
Mike's actions were perfectly justifiable.
only.
But he couldn't grant his wish.
"In that case, let me take one last look at my grain!"
Gu Guanhai sighed dramatically and said, "Take one look at my grain, and I'll go with you!"
Mike responded with a question: "???"
She eyed Gu Guanhai warily, wondering what he was up to.
