Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1231: Chapter 410: The Zhao Family Takes Action, Joy and Inferiority, A Father’s Love, the Pride of the Old Xiang Family

Ji Hong faintly sensed something, his expression slightly darkening, then he looked up at Zhao Long without speaking, merely nodding lightly as a response.

Zhao Long continued to gently persuade, saying, “People like Luo An, Zou Ping, Liu Peng, including my Zhao family disciples, those younger generation in Great Xia will soon catch up. Inevitably, many top-grade Battle Body qualifications will emerge among them. If you don’t want to be overtaken, what you need most urgently now is Cultivation Resources…”

“Commander Zhao, what exactly do you mean?”

Ji Hong finally grew a bit impatient and interrupted Zhao Long directly.

This interruption made the expressions of Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao, who were standing beside him, become somewhat unfriendly.

Zhao Long remained calm despite being interrupted by Ji Hong. He simply got to the point: “Ji Hong, my young brother, five hundred thousand Contribution Value points, as long as your sister does not interfere with my niece’s marriage to Xu An, I can allocate five hundred thousand Contribution Value points to you right now in the Camp Supply Department of Hongmen City, how about it?”

Upon hearing the five hundred thousand Contribution Value points, Ji Hong’s expression froze, his face flushed visibly.

Gritting his fists under the armor, he looked up and laughed angrily: “Commander Zhao is indeed generous! Five hundred thousand Contribution Value points, Ji is truly tempted!”

Zhao Long, almost fifty years old, naturally discerned Ji Hong’s sarcastic remark, noticing his flushed face was just the pride of a young man, he contemplated for a moment and continued:

“Six hundred thousand!”

Seeing Ji Hong still unmoved, he continued to speak.

“Seven hundred thousand!”

“Eight hundred thousand…”

Calling up to a million, Ji Hong still had no response, Zhao Long finally became somewhat impatient, after a moment of silence, he spoke one last time: “A million is the highest I can offer, young brother Ji Hong, are you really unwilling to reconsider?”

Ji Hong was eager to lash out, but sensing the profound aura of the Zhao Brothers, he knew he had no right to be angry, so he suppressed the intense shame within and tried hard to calm his tone before slowly speaking: “Commander Zhao, not everything can be bought with money…”

He paused, then coldly sneered and continued: “Forget a million, even if you offer ten million or a billion today, I won’t exchange my sister’s lifelong happiness with you, better give up this thought!”

Finally, Ji Hong could not hold back his internal anger and spoke with a hint of gunpowder.

Zhao Long’s expression instantly darkened, but he did not respond.

He could endure, but Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao, on the side, could no longer hold back, seeing Ji Hong disrespect Zhao Long, they wanted to speak long ago, just restrained by Zhao Long when they came, but never imagined Ji Hong becoming more excessive, even dared to reprimand their eldest brother, how could they bear it?

“Bold, Ji Hong, you’re just a reservist, truly think you’re one of the Dragon Martial Army? Even if you were truly in the Dragon Martial Army, you wouldn’t qualify to speak to a Commander like this, quickly apologize to my brother!”

“Young man, although talent is just talent, whether it can grow into strength is another story, each year many die outside Great Xia…”

“Shut up!”

Seeing Zhao Bao’s words become increasingly inappropriate, Zhao Long finally couldn’t hold back and angrily berated him to shut up.

Zhao Bao, realizing his words were inappropriate, immediately closed his mouth without continuing.

Yet, Ji Hong’s expression had turned extremely grim.

Zhao Long’s expression was now also very unfriendly, given his status, being rebuked by a young man like Ji Hong naturally made him displeased.

But knowing he came voluntarily today, together with the Zhao Yuanxiu matter, the Zhao Family itself was to blame, he said no more, took a deep breath, and even clasped his hands to Ji Hong:

“Ji Hong, young brother, since you won’t agree, let it be, today it was my fault, let me apologize to young brother Ji Hong. My third brother’s affection for his daughter led him to speak foolishly, hope young brother Ji Hong won’t mind!”

Seeing Zhao Long unexpectedly apologize to Ji Hong, Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao were instantly in disbelief, then immediately wanted to speak.

“Eldest brother!”

“Eldest brother…”

“Alright, let’s go!”

Without waiting for them to speak, Zhao Long interrupted them directly, then turned and walked towards the barracks.

Zhao Hu and Zhao Bao stood there, infuriated looking at Ji Hong, Zhao Bao’s gaze even slightly shimmered with killing intent.

“What are you standing there for, hurry up and leave!”

Zhao Long’s urging voice came from afar, no matter how angry they were, they had no choice, leaving only a cold snort and turning to leave.

“Become stronger, must become stronger, only by being strong, the higher the status, getting closer to becoming a Lord, can my sister and I not be bullied like this!”

After the trio left, Ji Hong stood alone gripping his fists, his nails almost piercing into the flesh, showing how hard he clenched.

……

“Longyuan Army, set off!”

In the middle of the night, Commander Zhou Yuan ordered, and the eighth and final army heading west, the Longyuan Army, began their journey from the barracks.

With this, all those leaving Hongmen had basically departed.

Since it was the return journey, and from Hongmen to Zhaoyang was a long way, Commander Zhou Yuan hadn’t imposed excessive requirements on this march, merely instructed each Colonel to maintain the basic integrity of the troops.
