The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

Qi Tongtian's pupils dilated slightly. He remembered that on the outskirts of Eucalyptus City, Ai Wanxin gave Pei Junlin a piece of jade that she had carried with her since childhood.

Although none of them had ever seen what the jade looked like, they didn't even know whether it was a jade button.

But if there wasn't some real connection, how would he know that their general had a piece of jade?

Jiang Baota also came up at this time. He and Qi Tongtian looked at each other and saw the same shock and doubt in each other's eyes.

There were many people here, Jiang Baota didn't say much, nor did he take the jade button from the woman's hand. He said in a businesslike manner: "We will present your letter to the general, please go back and wait for news."

Ion put his arm around her mother's shoulders and sneered, "Okay, Mom, you understand, we are not worthy, let's go."

The woman had no choice but to take back the jade button, got into the car with a sad and dejected look on her face.

Although Jiang Baota did not take the woman's things, he did not reveal any other information.

But everyone present was a smart person. With just a few words, they could guess the hidden story and imagine a big drama in their minds.

After these people were sent away, they inevitably discussed and communicated on various occasions.

Because of this, when Ai Wanxin was still unaware, some rumors had already spread quietly in Guanghui City.

----------

In the reception room of the main building of the villa, Jian Huaixi and Tai Shi Ning sat on the sofa opposite Ai Wanxin.

Jian Huaixi glanced at the room full of strong sentinels with great interest, and the meaningful smile on his face could not be concealed.

Tai Shi Ning had no choice but to pat his stiff arm with the back of his hand and said, "I said you asked me to bring you here, weren't you just to make fun of me for the general?"

Jian Huaixi came back to his senses, looked at Ai Wanxin who was sitting in the middle of the sofa opposite him, showed his neat and shining teeth, pulled out a very handsome smile, and said: "I think calling you General is too distant. We are all executives, and we have to get along with each other and help each other in the future. How about the general calling me Huaixi, and I'll be a little presumptuous and call you Wanxin?"

After he finished speaking, the air pressure in the living room suddenly became extremely low, especially for the black-haired man standing behind Ai Wanxin with his arms folded. His cold gaze pressed on Jian Huaixi as if it was real, making him feel a little short of breath.

"No." Ai Wanxin refused speechlessly.

Jian Huaixi was still waiting for her to give a reason, but unexpectedly Ai Wanxin didn't say a word.

Jian Huaixi didn't feel embarrassed. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We will be familiar with each other in the future. To be honest, General, I came here this time to make a deal with you."

"What deal?" Ai Wanxin asked with a little curiosity.

Jian Huaixi smiled and said, "General, I wonder how much you know about Xue Muqing who is stationed in the Fear Plateau?"

"I heard that he has established his own army." Ai Wanxin was still very interested in Xue Muqing. After all, he might be holding a meteorite in his hand, but there was no need to tell Jian Huaixi about this.

Jian Huaixi nodded with a smile in his eyes: "General, you are really well-informed. General, you also know that the Fear Plateau is located in the southeast of Yan Country, and it is separated from the Scorching Sun Plain by the Red River. Because of its high terrain, the disaster was not so serious at the beginning of the apocalypse. Our Liancheng is quite close to the Fear Plateau, so at the end of the world, in addition to asking for help from Guanghui City, I also sent a distress signal to Xue Muqing, but he ignored me."

"I guess he was probably too busy to take care of himself at the time, and even thought about helping them after Liancheng stabilized. Guess what happened?"

Jian Huaixi stopped there, waiting for Ai Wanxin to speak with a burning gaze.

Ai Wanxin said with a bit of a smile: "What's going on?"

Only then did Jian Huaixi say with satisfaction: "He has established his own army!"

Ai Wanxin opened her mouth and turned her gaze to Tai Shi Ning: [Has he ever hurt his brain before? ]

Taishi Ningwei shrugged: [No, it's innate.]

Since it was natural, Ai Wanxin couldn't care too much about it. She asked in a good-tempered manner, "What does this have to do with your deal with me?"

Jian Huaixi said with a smile: "That's a big deal. Xue Muqing has his own army. I've always wondered where he got the courage from. Isn't he afraid that the situation will stabilize and the parliament will take action and then send troops to attack him? He has a garrison in a place, and it's impossible for him to be self-sufficient in equipment, ammunition, food, and soldiers. How dare he do that? Even if he dares, will his garrison just follow him and do whatever he wants?"

"Later, I tried every means to send people to Eagle City to investigate, and found that all of his military equipment had been upgraded. It looked like it was not our standard equipment at all. I suspected that he was colluding with other countries' governments, so he was so fearless."

Ai Wanxin still didn't quite understand what this had to do with Jian Huaixi's plan to make a deal with her, but she could probably tell that Jian Huaixi was a talkative person with wild thoughts, so she didn't interrupt him and continued listening.

"Xue Muqing is colluding with other countries' governments. It is impossible that their goal is only Eagle City and Fear Plateau. If they march to other cities, our Liancheng will be the first to bear the brunt. I have made countless reports for this purpose, applying to strengthen Liancheng's armaments. The military department helped me submit them to the parliament, but the parliament has not approved it."

"So I can only find a way myself, General. I originally heard that you, Maple City and Frost City, have your own light weapons production line, and I wanted to buy some from you--"

Han Ce slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jian Huaixi.

[Is there something wrong with my ears? Why would an executive want to buy it? Huh? ]

Jian Huaixi probably knew that it was inappropriate, so he stopped talking at the right time. He chuckled and said, "But to be honest with you, General, Xue Muqing and his men's equipment is really not something that ordinary light weapons can resist. I guess those things are only bought for psychological comfort and for the sake of appearance."

"But it's different now. I've seen the video of your battle in Zhangcheng. I think if it were you, you would be able to easily take down Xue Muqing and Yingcheng."

Ai Wanxin felt that she was confused by him.

"What does this have to do with the deal you made with me?" She still didn't understand. "Aren't you asking me for help?"

And it seems that it is not Jian Huaixi's turn to come to her. Sooner or later, the parliament and the military will come to her for this matter.

Jian Huaixi sighed lovingly, "General, you are busy with military affairs, and we have no friendship. If I come to you for help, will you help me? So for the safety of all the residents of our Lotus City, I want to make a deal with you."

He brushed his stylish silver-gray hair back with his hands and said in a sonorous voice, "I am willing to exchange myself for the general's expedition against Xue Muqing."

"I will be your guest."
