Surviving In The Ancient Times With Limitless Supplies

Seeing Xu Xiang walk away, A Lu Da turned to look at the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors and said, "Brothers! See you all tonight at the banquet!"

Hearing his words, the soldiers and Xiuluo warriors shouted excitedly at the same time: "Yes!"

While their military camp was enveloped in an atmosphere of excitement and celebration, Cao Qinbo, who was far away in the Shang Empire, sat in his study while reading a secret letter and suddenly became angry. He slammed the latter onto the table with his palm, stood up, and paced anxiously to and fro in the spacious study.

Huang Fu didn’t dare to make a sound when he saw him behaving like this. After a while, Cao Qinbo turned to look at Huang Fu and said, "Minister Huang, I want you to prepare three million taels of gold within three days."

When Huang Fu heard this, he clenched his hands hidden in his wide sleeves tightly. He looked at Cao Qinbo and said tentatively: "Prime Minister Cao, it is impossible to collect three million taels of gold in three days. You know, the emperor has already started to investigate the western border. I am afraid..."

Cao Qinbo understood what he meant without the need for Huang Fu to finish his words. He flicked his sleeves angrily, looked at Huang Fu coldly and asked, "The Empress Dowager is already dead. Are you still afraid of him now?"

After hearing what he said, Huang Fu quickly knelt down on the cold floor with a thump. Huang Fu’s back was covered with cold sweat, as he lowered his head and quickly said, "This subordinate doesn’t dare!"

Although there was a look of horror on his pale face when he said this, Huang Fu was actually calmly thinking in his heart.

’Does this stupid old man still think that Zhao Jue is still the same little boy he can control as he wishes? I think I have to find a way to win Zhao Jue’s favor before this old fox messes things up. Should I sell this information to Zhao Jue? But with his suspicious character, would he believe me without evidence? It seems I still need to plan carefully.’

Seeing Huang Fu’s cowardly look, Cao Qinbo felt disgusted. If it weren’t for him needing Huang Fu to raise money, Cao Qinbo would have abandoned him long ago. Seeing Huang Fu’s greasy face, fat body, and fawning expression made Cao Qinbo feel very annoyed.

Cao Qinbo suppressed his disgust and annoyance, thought for a moment, glanced at Huang Fu, and said coldly: "I want to see the gold ready within three days. Otherwise..."

Before Cao Qinbo finished speaking, Huang Fu said quickly: "Please leave this matter to this subordinate. I will prepare the gold within three days."
