Xie Heng brought the supplies officer to the warehouse, where they stored the actual supplies. Zhao Chuchu had already been waiting outside.

When the supplies officer saw that there was a woman outside the warehouse, his expression turned dark again. “Official Xie, I’m here to receive the supplies from you. I have no time for this nonsense. If you can’t hand over the supplies today, don’t blame me for taking drastic action!”

The moment he said that, all the soldiers behind him drew their blades and stared at Xie Heng coldly.

Xie Heng took a deep breath and told himself not to take the words of these military men to heart. “You’ve misunderstood. That’s my wife. She came to Tianlang Checkpoint because she was appointed as a military doctor. So it’s not what you think.”

The supplies officer’s tanned face instantly turned red.

He thought that Xie Heng had brought a pretty lady here in an attempt to do something to him. But, unfortunately, it seemed that he had misunderstood.

But the supplies officer knows when to yield and admit his faults. So he immediately apologized. “Official Xie, I apologize for my impulsive comments.

Mrs. Xie, too, please forgive my rash actions.”

Xie Heng pushed open the warehouse door and stepped inside as he said, “Take a look at the supplies.”

All three warehouses were filled with the supplies that they were tasked with delivering.

The supplies officer suppressed his embarrassment and went inside with Xie Heng.

Bags of supplies were neatly stacked up and filled the entire warehouse.

Xie Heng said, “This is just 40 percent of it. There are more in the other warehouses.”

The supplies officer went forward. He sliced open one of the bags and picked out its contents. It was all good, new grains.

He checked twenty other bags at random. None of it was old grains mixed with sand.

The officer then checked the other two warehouses, and all of them were the same.

He asked Xie Heng, “Official Xie, why did you go through so much trouble to swap out the supplies before delivering them?”

“Perhaps because l i m a very cautious person. It turns out I was right. So it’s good to be a bit more careful. Otherwise, if anything happens to our supplies, there is no way for the Dynasty Duke and his troops to hold Tianlang Checkpoint against the Rong Dynasty.”

The supplies officer knew that there was a tussle for power in the Imperial City, but he didn’t ask about the actual reason behind Xie Hengs actions.

As long as the supplies were in place, he did not need to worry about anything

“Allow me to apologize for my actions previously. Official Xie, could you allow me to bring that soldier who tried to report you back to my camp?

“Do what you want with him, but don’t kill him yet. We still need to report this to the imperial court.”

“Yes, I know how important this is.” 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

“Alright then, let’s finish up the takeover. The Dynasty Duke’s reinforcements should be here soon as well.”

“Yes, sir.”

Xie Heng spent three days verifying the supplies with the supplies officer and handing them over to him. After that, he finally completed his mission.

But Xie Heng wasn’t in a rush to return to the Imperial City.

Three days later, the Dynasty Duke and his troops finally arrived at Tianlang Checkpoint.

During this time, there had been a ceasefire at Tianlang Checkpoint.

The Rong Dynasty’s troops would stand outside the walls and scoff at the Wei Dynasty’s army every day, saying that they were cowardly rats who could do nothing but hide in their fortress.

The soldiers were outraged by it, but their general ordered them not to leave the checkpoint and fight the Rong Dynasty’ s army. They weren’t allowed to leave without permission.

When the Dynasty Duke’s troops arrived, the soldiers felt their spirits lifted. The past few weeks had been extremely irritating and annoying for them.

Now that their supplies and reinforcements had arrived, they could finally fight these Rong Dynasty bastards.

Upon arriving at Tianlang Checkpoint, the Dynasty Duke did not stop to rest. Instead, he immediately went onto the walls to see the deployment of the Rong Dynasty’s troops.

The Rong Dynasty’s troops had pitched their tents just ten miles away from Tianlang Checkpoint. They were extremely arrogant, to say the least.

“Dynasty Duke, when are we going out there to kill those sons of bitches?” asked the deputy general excitedly. “We’ve been suppressing our anger this whole time. We’re just waiting to go out there and kill those bastards.”

“How long have they been here for?”

“About half a month. They would come here every day to taunt us and shout at us to go out and fight them.”

“Since they are at our doorstep, how can we not fight them?” The Dynasty Duke sneered.

He started to deploy the troops when he came down from the wall. The soldiers of Tianlang Checkpoint had been waiting for this day.

When the gates opened, their roars made the earth tremble.

The Rong Dynasty had been yelling at them for two weeks but received no response from the Wei Dynasty. So after a substantial amount of time, their morale would definitely come down.

But the Wei Dynasty’s soldiers were different. They were all extremely furious.

On top of this, their confidence had been boosted by the arrival of

reinforcements..
