About half an hour later, Lin Xuan arrived at the reception room with Tie Dachui.
Upon entering, one could see Gu Feng with a gloomy face, clearly very displeased.
He chuckled and said, "General Gu Feng seems to be in a bad mood! Who is so ungrateful as to offend General Gu Feng?"
Gu Feng glanced at Lin Xuan as he walked in, wishing he could kick him.
That little bastard, a name consultant, huh!
"Commander Lin, you are truly a busy man!" Gu Feng said with a cold face, "It is my great honor that Commander Lin has taken time out of his busy schedule to come here!"
"Hehe, Your Excellency is so humorous."
Lin Xuan gave an awkward smile.
Even from ten meters away, he could smell the sarcasm in Gu Feng's words.
However, Lin Xuan didn't care. His skin was already as thick as a copper wall and an iron wall. Not to mention Gu Feng's few words, even a knife couldn't cut him.
He raised an eyebrow and asked directly, "Did you come here today because of that list from last time, General?"
"That's right!"
Gu Feng suppressed his displeasure and said in a deep voice, "The higher-ups value you highly, even though your list is a bit excessive."
But the officials above ultimately granted your request.
"We will prepare all the resources you need and send them to you within a month. We only hope that you can shine brightly on the battlefield of the Hundred Kingdoms and bring glory to our Great Xia..."
"Oh... they actually agreed."
Lin Xuan was stunned and greatly surprised.
He really didn't expect that those people above would actually agree, without offering any discounts.
It seems he underestimated the strength of the Great Xia!
Upon hearing this news, Tie Dachui's eyes lit up with excitement, overjoyed.
Then, he whispered to Lin Xuan beside him, "Commander, those people above agreed so easily."
You didn't ask for too little, did you?
"How about I ask for a little more..."
Iron Hammer's words may seem insignificant, but the problem is that the four people standing in this hall are all quite powerful!
Gu Feng heard Tie Dachui's words clearly and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Holy crap!
This is what they mean by "a man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant"!
Lin Xuan made such an outrageous request, and it still wasn't enough; he wanted more.
He could tell at a glance that this big, dumb guy wasn't human; his heart was even blacker than Lin Xuan's.
"Hmph... These resources are enough to supply an army of a million for ten years. What, are you still not satisfied?"
At this moment, Gu Feng's personal guard sneered: "A man's greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant."
Be careful not to overeat and kill yourself.
As soon as this person said this, Lin Xuan, Tie Dachui, and Gu Feng all had their expressions darken, clearly displeased.
The next moment, before Lin Xuan and Tie Dachui could refute, Gu Feng was the first to lose his temper, angrily shouting at the guard: "Shut up!"
Do you even have the right to speak here?
Get out of here right now...
"My lord, I..."
Gu Feng's unusual behavior stunned the guard. He wanted to explain, but before he could speak, he was intimidated by Gu Feng's extremely cold gaze.
A chill ran through him, and he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Then, with his head down, he turned and left the reception room.
Lin Xuan gave Gu Feng a meaningful look, then chuckled and said, "General, you really do care for your subordinates!"
"If you don't have some self-control, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later..."
Gu Feng casually remarked that he was telling his personal guard to leave, seemingly to reprimand him, but actually to save him. His guard's public mockery of Lin Xuan was utterly reckless.
Who is Lin Xuan?
Those who have already been registered are not to be mocked by a mere bodyguard like yourself.
They probably don't even know how to write the word "death".
To put it bluntly, if Lin Xuan were to make a move, he could kill him without any problem.
Gu Feng saw through this, which is why he reprimanded his guards and drove Lin Xuan out of the reception room before Lin Xuan could make a move.
Because of this, Lin Xuan, out of consideration for his reputation, did not say anything more.
Lin Xuan was well aware of this, which is why he said that Gu Feng cherished his subordinates.
That's exactly what it means.
As soon as Gu Feng finished speaking, before Lin Xuan could respond, he immediately changed the subject, saying, "Lin Xuan, your request has been met, but it's not without conditions."
Someone above hopes you can shine on the battlefield of a hundred nations.
Ideally, we could recreate the scene from the Starry Sea.
As soon as he said this, Lin Xuan's eyes lit up with a bright and radiant light.
He now suspects that someone in the Shanhaiguan leadership is so shrewd as to have guessed his thoughts, otherwise why would they make such a request?
His mind raced, countless thoughts flashing through his head.
After a moment, he stared at Gu Feng and said in a deep voice, "General, are the people you mentioned the people behind you?"
"Yes! But... not entirely..."
Gu Feng chuckled: "Lin Xuan, you're a smart man, you should have guessed some of it."
In fact, this war between a hundred nations is a great danger for you, but it is also a great opportunity.
It all depends on whether you can handle it.
"hehe!"
Lin Xuan sneered, unconvinced.
That bastard Gu Feng deliberately played tricks and spouted a lot of nonsense.
He was unaware that this war between a hundred nations was both perilous and an opportunity.
Lin Xuan knew very well that Gu Feng and the people behind him actually wanted to use him as a tool.
Fight their opponents.
They lost, but they suffered no loss, since even if they were given so many resources, they belonged to the public.
But if they win, their profits will be huge.
That was a brilliant move.
However, although Lin Xuan was aware of all this, he did not point it out, because he knew very well that tearing off these people's fig leaves would not actually change anything.
On the contrary, it will cause him to lose a lot, such as the list he made with his exorbitant demands and unreasonable requests. If things really come to a head, why would anyone satisfy him?
"Alright, that's all I came here for. Now that the message has been delivered, I should head back."
Gu Feng said something to Lin Xuan, then got up and left.
However, just as she reached the door, she stopped again, turned around and looked at Lin Xuan, saying, "When will my pills be ready?"
Lin Xuan immediately laughed. This guy, as expected, couldn't hold back anymore.
He thought Gu Feng wouldn't ask.
It seems I was overthinking things; this guy is probably cursing me out inside.
But there's no rush.
Lin Xuan planned to delay for a few more days, then chuckled and said, "Let's wait a few days! Divine General, alchemy is a delicate task, we can't be impatient."
You've probably heard the saying, "Slow and steady wins the race."
Moreover, this is a pill like the Earth Core Divine Elixir, which is not so easy to refine. Let's wait patiently!
"Once the elixir is refined, I will have someone send it to you as soon as possible."
