Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

Guns and cannons are the fruits of human wisdom, so using guns and cannons is using wisdom.

This is the strategy Li Wen envisioned for outsmarting the enemy.

If they were to clash head-on with the White Elephant Kingdom, and were still on the offensive, the Anxi Army alone would not be able to achieve the zero-casualty effect that Li Wen desired.

We can only rely on the power of modernization.

Li Wen grew up with the care of compulsory education from a young age. His upbringing was very ordinary, and his family was a typical small farming family. His biggest connection among his relatives was that his aunt's in-laws worked at the Urban Management Bureau. If he set up a stall at the market there, he could save fifty yuan a month in sanitation and cleaning fees.

That's all.

Let alone buying cannons, Li Wen couldn't think of any way to even get ordinary modified guns.

Even if you manage to get your hands on something online after going to great lengths, not only will you not have a powerful weapon, but you'll also have a criminal record online that will affect your real-life identity.

The simplest way is to buy it abroad.

If Li Wen wanted to go to the Middle East or Africa, he just needed money... but those places were chaotic, and Li Wen didn't understand the local situation. Even if he had some martial arts skills now, they wouldn't be of much use against bullets.

Li Wen needs weapons, but he also needs to ensure his own safety.

Therefore, Peshawar was the place that Li Wen could think of immediately.

It's also easier to enter Pakistan.

Having worked in logistics for so many years, Li Wen had heard others talk about trade with that side, so he was somewhat familiar with it.

More importantly, the controls in Peshawar are not that strict. As long as you find the right way, it is still possible to buy some of the things Li Wen needs.

The most important thing here is to have someone you know well, otherwise people who don't know anything are most likely to be scammed.

The first person Li Wen thought of was Lao Wang. If Lao Wang didn't know anyone there... Li Wen was willing to take a risk and give it a try.

Just as he and Jiang Tian had said, Heishi was now a member of Anxi Town, and he would not abandon any of the residents of Anxi Army.

Moreover, the other herders will also see Anxi Town's attitude towards Blackstone. If Anxi Town does nothing, others will only become disheartened.

Even if this trip to Peshawar is somewhat risky, Li Wen is determined to go.

However, Li Wen also had a last resort: the double-door strategy.

However, once someone notices that you have disappeared into thin air, you will have to be wary of others lying in ambush on the spot if you want to return to the modern world.

To Li Wen's surprise, Old Wang was indeed Old Wang; he really did have connections in Peshawar.

And a friend of a friend of his had a team go there to discuss business.

Out of gratitude, Lao Wang spoke to his friend over there and arranged a parking space for Li Wen.

After hanging up the phone, Li Wen remembered Old Wang's favor, then returned to Anxi Town and instructed Jiang Tianxian to send some scouts to gather information about the area around Tongcheng and make preparations.

After that, Li Wen locked himself in his room and put all the gold beans he had prepared in the room so that he could use them at any time.

Purchasing gold directly offline avoids the problem of fund transfer. No matter what you buy in Peshawar, even if someone investigates you after you return home, they won't be able to find anything.

After preparing all this, Li Wen returned to the modern world and completed an additional fee procedure, and the visa was issued on the same day.

Afterwards, I took the high-speed train and met up with Lao Wang's friends.

Before going, Li Wen proactively transferred 30,000 yuan to Lao Wang, asking him to pass it on to a friend as a parking fee.

Li Wen knew in his heart that he might have paid too much for the parking space, but he didn't need the money right now. Paying more could be a way to "shut up" him, since he was obligated to do what others did.

If I find a reason to act alone, they won't be able to say anything, and they'll definitely be more attentive to the guidance.

Thirty thousand yuan is no small sum.

"Manager Li, right?"

The parking fee paid by Li Wen proved very useful. As soon as Li Wen got off the high-speed train, a chubby middle-aged man was waiting at the exit, with a private car parked next to him.

Li Wen stepped forward and warmly shook hands with him: "Mr. Wang Lang, is that right? Thank you for your help."

Wang Lang chuckled and said, "Hey, Old Wang and I are from the same clan. His friends are my friends. What's the trouble with such a small matter?"

"Have you booked the plane tickets yet?"

Wang Lang's enthusiasm was not without reason.

It was Lao Wang who asked for help in the first place, and Li Wen was a really considerate person. He not only gave them a lot of extra money for the parking space, but also booked their own plane and train tickets, not taking advantage of them at all.

Keep in mind that the total value of the business deal he negotiated this time was only around 200,000.

Not all of Lao Wang's friends are rich kids.

"I've booked it, Brother Wang, is this the flight and seat?"

Wang Lang glanced at it and said, "No problem."

Soon, Li Wen followed Wang Lang to the airport in a private car.

Upon arriving at the airport, Li Wen saw Wang Lang's team of four.

Besides Wang Lang, there was another younger man wearing thick glasses.

The other two are women, one older and the other younger.

The younger one was quite pretty, and she stared at Li Wen with curious eyes.

Because Li Wen spent a long time in Anxi Town, he gradually developed a special temperament.

His resolute gaze carried the air of a general, which piqued the girl's curiosity.

If she hadn't been so busy with paperwork, she would have liked to add Li Wen on WeChat.

Li Wen wasn't interested in the others; he only knew that the other members of the team were Wang Lang's relatives.

After boarding the plane, Li Wen simply put on an eye mask, greeted Wang Lang, and went to sleep.

This left the young girl sitting on the other side speechless.

The older woman next to her seemed to be her elder. After seeing this, she whispered something to her, and the girl gave an embarrassed smile.

Li Wen wasn't sleeping when he closed his eyes; he was thinking.

Although Li Wen had made the decision to save Blackstone, he hadn't had time to think about the follow-up plans.

This situation cannot be delayed any longer; the longer it is delayed, the greater the possibility of something unexpected happening to Blackrock.

Li Wen's general plan was to reach Peshawar within a day, then buy what he wanted and begin rescuing people.

The entire plan was to be executed in less than two days, so Li Wen had to simulate the details thoroughly in order to minimize the possibility of unexpected events.

During the long flight, Li Wen kept simulating various scenarios in his mind.

The turbulence of the plane landing startled Li Wen awake.

After removing his blindfold, Li Wen followed Wang Lang off the plane.

After getting off the plane, Li Wen followed Wang Lang and transferred again before finally arriving at Bacha Khan Airport, the airport in Peshawar.

There was a local man at the exit holding up a sign that read Wang Lang's name.

"Hey! King! Over here!"

This wasn't the first time Wang Lang had met the other party, and they were very polite to each other after their meeting.

"Arkana, let me introduce you. This is my very good friend Li Wen. He's here to do some research and would like you to be his guide."

Arcana's expression immediately changed upon hearing that there was one more person.

But Wang Lang spoke quickly: "Don't worry, my friend! I'll add one more person to your guide fee."

After speaking with Arcana, Wang Lang looked at Li and asked, "I'll cover the expenses."

Arcana then smiled.

"Haha! Welcome, my friend!"

Arcana took the initiative to shake hands with Li Wen.

After exchanging greetings, it was already dark when Arcana led everyone to the reserved hotel.

With Li Wen joining the group as a newcomer, Akana, still feeling responsible as a guide, said, "My friend, when you're in Peshawar, remember one thing: power outages are frequent. So bring your power bank. As a foreigner, absolutely do not stay in hotels that don't have generators..."

Akana first talked to Li Wen about the precautions, and then introduced Peshawar.

Li Wenwai didn't care about any of this; he just wanted to find opportunities to talk to the other person more often to get to know each other better.

After arriving at the hotel, Wang Lang and the other three were exhausted. They told Li Wen to get some rest and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Li Wen then nimbly flipped down from the second-floor window and chased after Arcana in the direction he had left.

"Hey! Wait! My friend."

Li Wen called out to Arcana.

"Oh! Li, aren't you going to rest? I'm taking you all out tomorrow morning. You know, I never wait for others."

Arcana kindly reminded him.

His time as a guide is fixed; once he misses the appointment, there will be no more opportunities, and he must still be paid.

Because the RMB is also accepted in the local currency, Li Wen gave Arcana a stack of money directly.

Arcana was quite surprised.

Li Wen said, "My friend! This is my guide fee; I can't let my friend go home empty-handed."

Arcana hesitated for a moment, but after checking the authenticity of the money, he put it away.

"But your friend has already promised to pay your guide fee."

Li Wen smiled slightly and said, "He paid his fee, and I paid my fee. There's no conflict between us. My friend."

After hearing Li Wen's words, Arcana understood that Li Wen must have some ulterior motive.

But for the sake of the money, he agreed.

"Okay, what kind of 'guide' do you need me to be?"

Because Li Wen had given so much, Arcana simply told Li Wen to make his own requests.

"It's very simple. I heard from a friend that there's a trend of 'handmade products' in Peshawar, and I'm curious to see them for myself... Of course, I don't want to go to those shady workshops; I want to go to some reputable factories to 'see' them."

Li Wen phrased it tactfully, but Arcana, being an expert on China, understood what Li Wen meant.

Arcana hesitated; he was a legitimate business guide.

"My friend, I just want to get to know you. You just need to make sure you don't take me to a shady place. You don't need to help me with business; I can do it myself."

After hearing Li Wen say this, Arcana was completely moved.

"No problem, my friend!"
