Li Mu took out the token, slid it across the conference table, and continued, "How I transport the grain is none of your business."
Huo Jianan took the token and looked at it. His face changed drastically, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "Sir, don't scare me with this token. A general is not subject to the orders of the king when he is away from home. Now is a special period. I'm sorry that I can't mobilize food for you with just a token unless I get clear orders from above!"
Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. Is this guy trying to cause trouble? In this situation, he can't get in touch with the outside world at all. It's obvious that he wants to cheat.
Chen Guangyun couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Director Huo, the highest token of Dragon Soul has the right to mobilize all the resources of Daxia. As the person in charge of one of the four major granaries, you should understand this, right?"
"Bang~" Huo Jianan slammed the table and shouted, "Are you teaching me how to do things? Lao Yang, is this how you manage your subordinates?"
Yang Su's face looked somewhat embarrassed. No matter how many faults Huo Jianan had, Chen Guangyun could not blame him. After all, Huo Jianan was the person in charge of the granary, and their army was only responsible for security.
"Guangyun, go and do your own thing first." Yang Su said to Chen Guangyun.
Chen Guangyun looked at Yang Su angrily, but finally obeyed Yang Su's order and turned to walk towards the door of the conference room.
"Wait." Li Mu stopped him and said, "Sit down."
Chen Guangyun glanced at Yang Su, Yang Su nodded, and Chen Guangyun returned to the conference table and sat down.
Huo Jianan saw this and couldn't get angry, so he said to Li Mu: "Sir, no matter what, I am still in charge here. If you want to transfer food, then take out the note. I'm sorry that I can't obey your order with just a token."
“Who knows if your token is fake? As far as I know, there are only two red tokens of Dragon Soul, and neither of them belongs to the surname Li.” Huo Jianan said sarcastically.
"Hehe." Li Mu smiled faintly. It was this familiar formula again. Dragon Soul was a mysterious organization. No one could figure out its organizational structure except the top people in Daxia. The people below only needed to follow orders. Any doubts were excuses for cheating. There was a big problem with Huo Jianan!
"Brother Li Mu, could it be that this granary had caught fire before?" Xu Ling said with a strange look on her face. Even she could see the trick here.
"How should I know?" Li Mu said unhappily.
"It is said that the granary was prone to fire before the superiors inspected it?" Xu Ling said seriously.
"Little girl, what do you mean?" Huo Jianan's face changed drastically when he heard that. It was obvious that Xu Ling was saying something with a hidden meaning.
"I..." When Xu Ling was about to say something, two people walked in from outside the meeting room.
"Senior!" The two people who came in exclaimed after seeing Li Mu's face clearly.
"Why are you here?" Li Mu was a little surprised. These two people were the Dragon Soul members, Zhou Yang and Li Dezhi, with whom Li Mu had dealt several times. The first time he met them was during the Mingshan haunted incident in Miancheng.
"Haha, senior, we were carrying out a mission nearby before the snowstorm." The two men smiled innocently.
Li Mu nodded. Zhou Yang and Li Dezhi were members of the Southwest branch of Dragon Soul, and this place happened to be within their jurisdiction.
"Yes, you have made rapid progress and have both reached the Heavenly Man Realm." Li Mu said to the two of them. Zhou Yang and Li Dezhi did not have the talent for cultivation, so they could only stick to the path of martial arts. When he first met them, they were still in the Transformation Realm. In just four years, they had already reached the Heavenly Man Realm. This was indeed rare. You must know that when Li Mu just returned to Earth, there was only one person in the Heavenly Man Realm in Da Xia, Yin Zhilong. However, this was also greatly related to the recovery of the Earth's spiritual energy. Otherwise, with Zhou Yang and Li Dezhi's martial arts talent, let alone the Heavenly Man Realm, it would be good if they could reach the Innate Realm in this lifetime.
Warriors are supposed to cultivate their bodies, and although they are also unable to use their true Qi in this apocalypse, they are still much stronger than cultivators. Li Mu estimated that with their strength, it would be no problem for them to easily defeat a second-level super-powered person.
"Captain Zhou, do you know this person?" Huo Jianan frowned.
Zhou Yang knew that Li Mu had always been very low-key. Although it was the end of the world, he still had to seek Li Mu's opinion, so he gave Li Mu an inquiring look.
Li Mu nodded slightly.
After obtaining Li Mu's consent, Zhou Yang introduced him to everyone: "Senior is the founder of Jishi Pavilion, and our Dragon Soul's specially appointed consultant. His status is even higher than that of the Dragon Soul Minister. Even Emperor Xia has to address him as Senior when he sees him."
Zhou Yang paused here. In fact, he knew very little about Li Mu.
He recalled that he had seen a secret decree before, so he added: "The Xia Palace once issued a secret decree. The senior's orders are higher than those of the Xia Palace, and he has the highest decision-making power in the entire Daxia."
"Hiss~" Everyone present took a deep breath. What kind of big shot is this? Even the ministers of Dragon Soul have to obey the orders of Emperor Xia, and Li Mu's authority is the highest in Daxia? You know, after the two worlds merged, all the successors returned to Earth, including the founder of Daxia, Yu Sheng, and the first emperor of all time, His Majesty the First Emperor.
Even Xu Ling and the other two looked bewildered. They didn't know what the Dragon Soul organization was, and seeing that Li Mu could decide the life and death of officials with just an identity token, they thought that Li Mu's identity was at most equivalent to that of an imperial envoy. Only now did they realize that they had underestimated the power Li Mu held. After getting along with Li Mu for such a long time, they would feel that Li Mu was so strange every once in a while.
Huo Jianan swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Captain Zhou, are you kidding?"
"What bullshit are you talking about? How can I joke with you about this kind of thing?" Zhou Yang glared at Huo Jianan.
Faced with Zhou Yang's angry rebuke, Huo Jianan did not dare to refute. After all, Zhou Yang and Li Dezhi's status and position were much higher than his. Although Zhou Yang and Li Dezhi were only a captain and deputy captain in the Southwest Branch of Dragon Soul, they both received transfer notices before the snowstorm and would be promoted to deputy commanders of the branch. If it were not for their lack of qualifications, they would probably be more than qualified to be a full commander.
Moreover, Huo Jianan had seen the strength of the two men. Together, they could defeat two or three hundred fully armed military and police officers. The most important thing was that the two men did not give him, the person in charge of the granary, any face and had never been polite to him. However, Yang Su from the military and Lin Qing from the police also obeyed Zhou Yang's orders.
Fortunately, the two men never interfered with his work after arriving at Shennong Mountain, but now it is different. If Li Mu insists on transferring grain, judging from the attitudes of these two men, they will definitely fully support Li Mu, and the military and the police will naturally not follow him. He can only mobilize the grain warehouse managers under his command. What use can those unarmed warehouse managers be?
