Gu Xiaoxi's ears were sharp, and she could hear their conversation loud and clear.
"I am the Chief of Xuan State, and now that the phone has reached your hands, how about we make a deal?" the man's voice on the other end of the line was loud and clear.
The king immediately responded with a serious expression, "May I ask what you require of us?"
"As long as you permit us to mine in your territory for three years, I can gift you a batch of weapons and help you stop this war." The voice on the phone carried a cunning tone that, even across the great distance, was unmistakable.
Gu Xiaoxi's mouth twitched fiercely; these old foxes were all up to no good.
Xuan State actually wanted to take advantage of the situation to mine for three years. Wasn't this an unequal treaty?
"..." The king on this side hesitated for a moment, his expression more solemn than ever before, "I need to discuss this with my ministers."
"Then I'll wait for your call!"
