"Hahahaha, okay, of course, okay!"
Zhu Zi's reply surprised Xia Gang greatly.
He had expected a refusal, but was surprised by how readily Zhu Zi agreed!
This left Xia Gang stunned, his mouth agape, unsure of what to say.
At this moment, numerous gold-prospecting ships took off rapidly from the camp, streaking past them and disappearing into the passage.
With missiles incoming, their time was extremely limited. No one dared to be dazed at such a moment; it would cost them their lives!
"Captain Xia, stop gawking and come with me?"
Seeing Xia Gang's prolonged lack of reaction, Zhu Zi smiled and patted him on the shoulder twice.
Xia Gang finally snapped back to reality, glanced at his teammates, and gritted his teeth to make a decision.
"You all go back first. I'll go with them to see what this parallel world is like."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone stepped forward to object.
"Teacher! You can't go alone!"
The one who spoke was a young girl in a red down jacket. She looked at Zhu Zi with some apprehension.
"Who knows if what he's saying is true? What if you go and encounter danger?"
Xia Gang: ............
Couldn't this darn girl speak more tactfully!
He smiled at Zhu Zi awkwardly.
"Hahahaha, innocent words, Commander Zhu Zi, please don't take offense with this girl."
Zhu Zi waved his hand indifferently, "In that case, let's all go together."
Whether it's one sheep or a flock, the principle is the same.
The Duke's safety is paramount!
Xia Gang, however, turned back and glared at the girl.
"Chu Siyang, apologize to Commander Zhu Zi quickly!"
"Then take the others back to the base. This is an order!"
As he spoke, he blinked a few times.
Someone in the crowd saw his intention and quietly pulled Chu Siyang's arm, whispering in her ear.
"Listen to the teacher."
Chu Siyang then looked at Zhu Zi with clear displeasure, "Sorry......"
"Hahahaha, it's fine, it's fine!"
Zhu Zi didn't take her previous words to heart at all. It was a natural human reaction, understandable.
Afterward, Xia Gang saw Chu Siyang and the others back to the base, and he himself followed Zhu Zi towards a gold-prospecting ship.
Only when they ascended into the air did he point to the white smoke plumes already visible in the distance and ask.
"You... you don't seem to care at all?"
Those smoke plumes were precisely the incoming missiles!
Zhu Zi sneered dismissively, "Care about what?"
"Let them be proud for a while. It's just some equipment, so what if it gets blown up!"
After speaking, he accelerated and rushed into the passage.
Xia Gang felt his vision darken for a moment, but immediately saw a different landscape.
Desert!
A desert stretching as far as the eye could see!
In the desert before them, tens of thousands of troops were stationed.
Hundreds of helicopters hovered in the sky, while large numbers of tanks and rocket launchers were on the ground.
This was the parallel world?
How magical!
Zhu Zi led him to a tent and landed. The soldiers guarding outside saw him and immediately shouted inside.
"Her Royal Highness, Commander Zhu Zi has returned."
"Let him in!"
Hearing Li Xiuning's voice, Zhu Zi then led Xia Gang inside.
"Your subordinate greets Her Royal Highness!"
"The other side of the passage..."
Before Xia Gang could even say a few words, she interrupted him, "Captain Xia, please wait. I will have someone who understands matters on your side come over to listen in."
After speaking, she turned and whispered a few words to the maid beside her.
Not long after, Li Tai appeared inside the tent.
"Aunt, you were looking for me?"
Li Xiuning nodded at him and pointed to Xia Gang, saying, "This is someone Zhu Zi brought back from the other side. I don't quite understand the matters on your side, so you talk to him, and then tell me properly."
"You're from 2030?"
Li Tai heard this, walked up to Xia Gang, and asked casually.
Xia Gang felt a bit reserved. This little brat before him had such a powerful aura!
"Yes!"
A smile curved Li Tai's lips as he pointed outside.
"I am Li Tai, follow me!"
Li Tai?
Prince of Wei?
Son of Li Shimin!
Xia Gang instantly turned to look at Li Xiuning. When Zhu Zi mentioned the princess earlier, he was still wondering about Li Xiuning's identity, but at this moment, he had already figured out the answer!
Called aunt by Li Tai and holding the title of princess, she must be the Iron Lady Li Xiuning!
My goodness, wasn't this person dead during the Wude era?
"What are you spacing out for, hurry up." Li Xiuning saw him staring at her and urged him with some displeasure.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Xia Gang nodded repeatedly and followed Li Tai out of the tent.
As soon as they stepped out, he saw Li Tai pull out a mobile phone from his pocket, point to a software on it, and ask him.
"Hey, old man, is this software still usable in your place?"
Xia Gang was utterly bewildered...
This software...
It looks rather indecent!
"I'm asking you! I downloaded this from another parallel world before. It has many young ladies on it."
"Quick, tell me, is it usable..."
Xia Gang looked at Li Tai speechlessly and said, "Your Highness Prince of Wei."
"I am over seventy years old this year. What made you misunderstand that I would use such software?"
