Gu Chen smiled wryly, but didn't say anything more. He just sighed inwardly and cupped his hands towards Lin Xuan, saying, "Commander, I'll take my leave now."
Without waiting for the guards outside to come in, he went straight out of the hall.
Gu Chen knew very well that Lin Xuan would never sell him pills at a low price, given Lin Xuan's attitude. So why stay and suffer humiliation?
Leave as soon as possible to avoid upsetting Lin Xuan.
Seeing that Gu Chen was somewhat reasonable, Lin Xuan chuckled softly: "Lu Zhantian, this old man has quite a good plan."
Unfortunately, I'm not stupid.
He had quite a few elixirs.
Not to mention these ordinary-grade pills, he can easily refine even higher-grade yellow-grade and profound-grade pills, so he naturally has no shortage of them.
But this does not mean that he will sell the pills to Lu Zhantian at a low price.
It wasn't that Lin Xuan was heartless or unwilling to help the Great Xia and the soldiers of Shanhaiguan.
Rather, Lin Xuan simply didn't trust Lu Zhantian.
Even if he sold the pills at a low price, Lin Xuan couldn't believe how many of these low-priced pills would actually reach the ordinary soldiers at Shanhaiguan.
after all!
Not every single one of the many legions at Shanhaiguan is like the First Legion.
Now that he is in charge of the First Army, he is certain that no one in his First Army will dare to embezzle the soldiers' benefits.
But he wasn't so sure about the other legions.
Who knows, the pills might have barely left his hands before ending up in the hands of those scions of powerful families.
In fact, they were even transported directly from Shanhaiguan back to the mainland of Great Xia.
They might not even be able to resell it at a high price.
Don't think this is outrageous; in Lin Xuan's view, it is very likely to happen.
After all, he had personally witnessed the corruption within the First Army.
Furthermore, given the corrupt practices within the Enforcement Hall and the Service Department, one should have absolutely no expectations of the high-ranking officials at Shanhaiguan.
"Commander-in-Chief, something terrible has happened..."
Not long after Gu Chen left, Lin Xuan got up, preparing to return to his study.
At that very moment.
A rough voice came from outside the door.
It's a big iron sledgehammer.
However, his current identity is Lin Xuan's personal guard captain.
Although he was only a captain, because he was Lin Xuan's personal guard, Tie Dachui's status was no lower than that of an ordinary captain.
After all, the personal guards represented Lin Xuan's confidants.
They were among the people Lin Xuan trusted most.
In fact.
With Iron Hammer's strength, he was capable of obtaining the position of Captain during the competitive assessment.
However, Iron Hammer gave up on his own initiative.
He decisively chose the position of Captain of Lin Xuan's Personal Guard.
This is actually the wisdom of Iron Hammer. Although this thing looks big and rough, it is actually meticulous in its roughness.
Tie Dachui knew very well that with Lin Xuan's extraordinary talent, his future achievements were limitless.
The benefits of staying by Lin Xuan's side at all times are definitely greater than those of being a captain.
If Lin Xuan were to let a little bit of his iron hammer slip through his fingers on ordinary days, his future achievements would definitely surpass those of an ordinary captain.
"What happened? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Lin Xuan glanced at Tie Dachui who had come in and said in a deep voice, "You must be calm and composed when doing things, and don't panic when things happen. I've told you that so many times."
"Yes, Commander!"
Tie Dachui blushed and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Commander."
"Um!"
Seeing that Tie Dachui's attitude was quite good, Lin Xuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Speak! What happened? Who's in trouble?"
"It's Tianyun placer gold."
Tie Dachui hurriedly said, "The news from the Logistics Department is that over 150,000 jin of Tianyun gold dust has been stolen..."
"What? It got stolen?"
Lin Xuan was stunned and almost didn't react.
Then, his face immediately turned ashen.
150,000 catties of Tianyun gold dust were stolen. He would never believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
heretical cult members!
There are likely cult members within the Service Division.
When they returned from the Tianyun Secret Realm, the evil cultist had already made a move. He was also a deputy director of the Service Department, and he turned out to be an evil cultist.
They also wanted to swindle Tianyun Sand Gold from Lu Zhantian.
Fortunately, he had already seized the Tianyun Sand Gold, so Lu Zhantian had no choice but to bite the bullet and refuse.
That guy behind him was courting death; he actually wanted to cause him trouble.
He ended up killing him with a single stroke.
Lin Xuan originally thought that after this incident, the Service Department should conduct a thorough internal investigation and bring all the hidden cult members and traitors to justice.
It seems he overestimated the Service Division.
Or rather...
He overestimated the entire Shanhaiguan area.
"What did the Service Department say?" Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.
"The investigation is ongoing. The commotion has been quite significant. All the gates of Shanhaiguan have been sealed off, and the grand formation has been activated. Only entry is permitted; exit is not..."
Iron Hammer hurriedly said, "Commander, do you think this Heavenly Cloud Gold Sand was stolen by evil cultists?"
"Probably, but it's not certain right now."
Lin Xuan nodded, then shook his head, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and sneered, "Let's go see our General Lu Zhantian."
The Tianyun Gold Sand was brought back from the Tianyun Secret Realm by our First Army soldiers at great personal risk.
Then the commander personally handed it to him.
It's only been a few days?
It got stolen, huh... I'd really like to see how Lu Zhantian and the Logistics Department plan to explain this to me.
Give our First Army soldiers an explanation…
As they were talking.
The sharp, cold intent in Lin Xuan's eyes grew even stronger.
