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

"Whoa!!!"

Marza stopped his horse, looked at the tightly closed city gate, and sneered.

Go knock on the door.

Marza gave his men a wink.

The knight beside him dismounted and rushed to the city gate, shouting, "Listen up, you inside! Our Northern Desert Prince, Prince Marza, has arrived! Open the gates! If you don't behave, our Northern Desert army will raze this place to the ground!!"

Such an arrogant way of knocking on the door shows that they don't take Bai Xiangguo seriously at all.

Marza let his men shout like that, without making any attempt to stop them.

That's why the northern knight's insults became increasingly vicious.

Whoosh!

Just as the northern knight was cursing, an arrow flew past his ear and landed on the ground beside him.

The Northern Desert Knights were not afraid; instead, they were enraged and drew their scimitars from their waists to hack at the city gate.

An aged voice echoed from the city wall: "What wild dogs are barking down there?"

"You old bastard! Do you know who I am? I am a knight of the Northern Desert Royal Family! Dare to disrespect me, and I'll kill you right now!"

This royal knight, used to being arrogant, had never suffered such a loss before, and immediately started cursing at the city wall.

"Shut up."

Marza drew his long whip from his waist and lashed out with a flourish. The arrogant knight was whipped so hard that he covered his mouth and rolled on the ground.

Ignoring his wounded subordinates, Marza clasped his hands in a fist salute and shouted towards the city wall, "Your Excellency, I am Marza, and I have come here on my father's orders to welcome my future queen!"

After Marza spoke, the city gates slowly opened.

After the city gates opened, Marza saw the old prime minister of the White Elephant Kingdom slowly riding over on horseback, carrying a longbow.

He didn't even glance at the fallen knight as he passed by.

The Prime Minister spoke first, saying, "So it's my nephew Marza. What a misunderstanding! I thought some stray dog ​​was using your name to swindle people."

The prime minister's casual words served as a clarification of the misunderstanding.

"It's my fault for not disciplining my men properly, Your Excellency," Marza said with a smile.

Then Marza asked, "Prime Minister, there is something I don't understand. Why is the city gate of Tongcheng, such an important commercial center, kept closed in broad daylight?"

The prime minister smiled and explained, "My dear nephew, you may not know this, but recently there have been more Northern Hu cavalrymen in the Western Regions. I am taking precautions against them."

Marza glanced back and saw many fresh footprints and carriage tracks on the road leading to the city gate... meaning the city gate had only recently been closed.

But Marza did not expose the prime minister's lie, and continued with a smile, "Those Northern Hu knights are committing all sorts of evil deeds, they are truly despicable."

After speaking of the Northern Hu knights, Marza changed the subject: "Prime Minister, I have come here to escort my Northern Desert Princess, Ariel, back to the grasslands."

As Marza uttered these words, the previously amicable atmosphere suddenly turned serious.

After a moment of stunned silence, the Prime Minister spoke slowly, "Nephew, according to the rules of my White Elephant Kingdom, an engagement is merely an agreement, not a marriage. Ariels is not yet considered the Queen of the Northern Desert Tribe."

Marza smiled brightly, but his tone became domineering: "Prime Minister, I don't care what the rules of the White Elephant Kingdom are, as long as you do things according to the rules of my Northern Desert tribe. Alright, call Ariel out, I'll take her back to the Northern Desert."

As soon as Marza finished speaking, the White Elephant soldiers around him immediately became serious, and some even reached for the weapons at their waists. But Marza didn't seem to care at all, and wasn't worried at all that the White Elephant soldiers would make a move.

The Prime Minister raised his hand to stop his subordinates from making any unusual movements. After staring at Marza for a while, he said, "Ariels is the noble princess of my White Elephant Kingdom. Her travel arrangements must be taken seriously. I need to request permission from the King to deploy the White Elephant Kingdom's Imperial Guard to ensure the safety of my noble princess during her travels."

The Prime Minister intends to use the troop mobilization as a pretext to deal with Marza, and then use the excuse that troop mobilization is too troublesome to continue delaying.

Marza understood what the White Elephant Kingdom's prime minister was planning, and said with narrowed eyes, "Prime Minister, you are an elder, so you don't need to worry about Ariels' safety. My Northern Desert tribe's ten thousand iron cavalry are advancing westward, and I think no one in this region would dare to provoke me, Marza."

The threatening undertone in Marza's words was self-evident.

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister squinted and replied, "The safety of my White Elephant Kingdom's princess is naturally the responsibility of my White Elephant Kingdom. There is no need for my nephew to worry. After all, my White Elephant Kingdom's three thousand imperial guards are not just for show."

As the prime minister finished speaking, the sound of armor clashing came from the city wall. Marza looked up and saw that it was filled with countless figures.

"hehe."

Marza looked at the prime minister again, his voice turning somber: "It seems the White Elephant Kingdom is determined to oppose my Northern Desert royal family?"

"Nephew, don't be angry. Since the previous generation, my White Elephant Kingdom has maintained good relations with the Northern Desert tribes. This little matter shouldn't have escalated to this point."

"Furthermore... His Majesty the King is preparing to write a letter to the King of the Northern Desert to discuss the annulment of the engagement."

The prime minister finally revealed the truth.

Ever since Ariels ran to Tongcheng to make a name for herself because of the bet, the King of White Elephant Kingdom has softened his heart.

He understood his daughter's personality; the fact that she, who had always been naive, could go to such lengths to oppose the engagement showed that she truly did not want to marry the prince of the northern desert.

Therefore, the King of White Elephant Kingdom considered announcing the annulment of the engagement.

The Prime Minister arrived in Tongcheng not only to protect Ariel, but also to keep Marza in check.

"Hehe, I understand... Let's go."

Marza said nothing more and told his men to leave.

The others turned their horses around, and even the knights lying on the ground struggled to mount their horses.

Before leaving, Marza turned back and said, "Prime Minister, when my northern cavalry arrives at the city walls, I hope you will still stand by this statement."

After saying that, Marza rode off into the distance.

"Prime Minister, perhaps we should..."

Seeing that Marza was about to leave, his subordinate made a throat-slitting gesture.

The Prime Minister shook his head: "The strategic focus of the Northern Desert tribe is now on the Great Zhou, not the West. If we touch Marza, the Northern Desert tribe will definitely turn their attention to the White Elephant Kingdom."

evening.

Li Wen disembarked from the plane on time.

Arcana is waiting outside the airport.

"Li! My friend!"

Akana gave Li Wen a warm hug, and his clothes became even cleaner.

It was also because of his collaboration with Li Wen that his financial situation improved.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Li Wen greeted the other person with a smile, then turned to business: "Has the warehouse I requested been finalized?"

Arcana took out his phone and showed Li Wen the pictures: "Of course I'm buying it! Not only is the space huge, but it also comes with a cold storage room!"

Looking at the vast warehouse area, Li Wen was very satisfied.

What about company registration?
