Arknights is too real, right?

While watching this so-called strategic meeting, Xia Feng gradually saw Mingtang.

In fact, the whole thing can be perfectly summed up in a story.

There was a poor family in the village who gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Then, the daughter was attracted by the bully in the village.

The bully wanted to marry his daughter by force, but she refused. The bully became angry and threatened to kill his daughter.

Faced with such a disaster, his daughter's old father sharpened all the iron tools in his house, but he still couldn't compete with the bullies.

At this time, a group of people claiming to be Jianghu heroes appeared.

They promised to help the old father defeat the bully and protect his daughter's life. Hearing this, the old father burst into tears of gratitude.

However, this group of heroes said again that if they want to help, they must agree to a condition.

The condition is that after successfully rescuing their daughter, they will take her away and sell her to a brothel to become a romantic woman.

Hearing this condition, the old father was dumbfounded. He could only lower his head deeply and was at a loss, just like Xi Gong Ling now.

Xi Gong Ling is the old father.

Nishikawa is the daughter.

The Sakurabu family are bullies.

And the big guys in the room right now are the "heroes of the world."

As for Xia Feng, he was nothing. He was just a neighbor of his old father who watched the whole incident.

In the reception room.

Seeing that Nisigong Ling lowered his head and said nothing, everyone who had finished expressing his intention also stopped speaking one after another.

At this time, the tattooed mercenary leader Kurda just spoke.

This guy didn't know whether he felt that Nishimiya Ling was easy to bully, or he wanted to show off his uniqueness. He took out a cigarette from his chest pocket, held it in his mouth and lit it with a "pop".

Kurda held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a half-smile.

"Hey, all right, gentlemen, it's my turn to say a few words. I don't understand the trade, tariffs, etc. you are talking about. I am a very practical person, and all I care about is money."

I saw him taking a long drag on the cigarette, then holding the cigarette butt between his fingers, pointing at Nishimiya Ling who bowed his head and said nothing.

"Master Ling, I don't have much resources, but I have people under my command. Haha, you provide the money and I provide the people. 200 brothers and 20 Originium guns are enough to kill thousands of cherry blossoms with broken knives. A warrior of the Wu family."

Xi Gong Ling raised his head and whispered with dark eyes.

"Sir Kurda, how much money do you need?"

"not much."

Kurda held out a finger with a proud look on his face, as if he had sold a huge favor to Nishimiya Ling.

"Master Ling, after this matter is over, I want Xilan City in the middle of Xichuan. I have seen the map. Xilan City is surrounded by mountains on three sides. This kind of city is just suitable for me to use as a mercenary base."

Upon hearing that the city was being demarcated, Xi Gong Ling immediately gritted his teeth and objected.

"Impossible. The territory established by my ancestors of the Nishimiya family cannot be ceded, let alone one of the important cities in the interior."

Being sternly rejected by Nishimiya Ling, Kurda seemed to feel very humiliated and said with a cold face.

"Oh? Since the head of the Ling family can't bear to give up, then I have no morals to talk about. As a mercenary, if you pay me, you are your employer, and what you eat is war food."

After saying that, he deliberately sneered and stared at Xi Gong Ling.

"You'd better think about it again. After all, you don't want me and my brothers to join the Sakurawu family to fight against Nishikawa. Hehe, you say so."

"you"

At this moment, Xia Feng, who had been silent from beginning to end, finally spoke up.

He slowly stood up from his seat and stretched his arms lazily.

Then, he stared at the tattooed mercenary leader like he was an idiot.

"Brother, do you think you are funny?"

Because of the different circles he is in, this second-rate mercenary boss may be one of the few people in this room who has never heard of the name "Xia Feng".

Seeing that Xia Feng was obviously targeting him, Kurda squinted his eyes while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"Who are you kid?"

Xia Feng didn't say a word except that he acted like a country bumpkin when he first came in. To Kurda, he seemed to be just a low-ranking local businessman from the Eastern Kingdom.

However, Xia Feng's next answer was very avant-garde, not loud, but full of natural proficiency.

"I am your uncle."

Facing this unexpected answer, Kurda was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, rolled up his sleeves and glared angrily.

"You're looking for fucking death!"

Seeing the quarrel, Nishimiya Yanshi, who was sitting behind Nishinomiya Ling, immediately stood up and humbly tried to dissuade them.

"My lords, please stop arguing. We are all here because of the calamity of our Xigong family. We want to give face to the head of the Ling family and don't hurt the harmony."

After saying that, Nishimiya Yanshi glanced at Lin Hong, who was sitting in the guest seat.

"Also for the sake of Mr. Lin Hong's presence, you two should not worry too much about the verbal conflict."

Hearing Lin Hong, the mercenary boss glared at Xia Feng and sat back in anger.

At the same time, Yi Nanxue also gently pulled Xia Feng and motioned for him to sit down.

However, Xia Feng did not sit down. He stood and looked at the dejected Nishi Gong Ling.

"Master Ling."

At this time, Xi Gong Ling's mental state seemed to be in a trance. He came to his senses only when Xia Feng called him.

"Oh, oh, Sir Xia Feng, do you have anything to say?"

"have."

In front of everyone, Xia Feng said loudly and seriously.

"In the face of this war between the Nishinomiya family and the Sakurawu family, I, Xia Feng, am willing to spend 2 billion Longmen coins in military expenditures to provide military supplies for the war."

Xi Gong Ling's eyes lit up and he looked at Xia Feng in disbelief.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng."

"Why, isn't 2 billion not enough? Then I'll add another 2 billion. I'll give a total of 4 billion."

Hearing Xia Feng's words, the big guys in the room didn't show any surprise, and some even laughed scornfully.

To these people, 4 billion Dragon Gate coins is really not an astronomical figure. When converted into Terra coins, it is 200 million.

However, for Xi Gong Ling, this is a great supplement. Because of the previous preparations, the Xi Gong family has run out of ammunition and food. Even if the big boss at Longmen provides strategic materials, he still has to have money to buy them. ah.

However, Xi Gong Ling did not get too happy, but asked cautiously.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, do you have any conditions for this 4 billion military expenditure?"

"No conditions, let the warriors fight hard and try to defend Xichuan."

"this"

After saying this, Xia Feng sat down directly.

After sitting down, Xia Feng no longer wanted to listen to the so-called discussion that followed. He just sat quietly next to Yi Nanxue.

When no one was paying attention to him anymore, he showed a slightly self-deprecating wry smile.

He did not show off his power or show off his authority. As a businessman in the Xichuan area, his behavior of spending military expenses was just a very normal and correct thing.

However, this move was incompatible with the expressions of everyone in the room at this time, as if he was an alien.

This is ironic.

Businessmen all love money, and egoism is the label of businessmen. This is understandable, but is it really the right thing to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it?

Maybe he is too naive, or maybe he is not a qualified businessman.

Yes, he has long understood that this world is not that simple, and there are no pure good guys and absolutely bad guys. They have different positions and different obsessions.

However, since there is the word "darkness" in the world, there must be a corresponding "light".

Even if it was impulsive, in this strategic meeting of the jungle, why couldn't the "light" be him.

At least in Xi Gong Ling's heart at this moment, he became light.

Even if this light is very weak, the existence itself is enough.
