The Unknown God of War

Chapter 298

Since both he and his son had been humiliated so thoroughly by Chu Feng, Tang Li naturally took it to heart.

He said sarcastically, "He's just a retired soldier from the Western Theater without the least bit of contribution and no official position. Just by curing Dad's illness, he thinks he has the power to have a say in the Tang family. Who does he think he is? He even declared that he'd get a few large bottles of Xi Feng Liquor for Dad. What a joke! Did he think he was some kind of big shot? If he really managed to get just one bottle- no, even if it were just a drop of the liquor, I'll eat my shoe!"

"Li, you're going a little overboard. After all, Chu Feng is the benefactor of the Tang family."

Tang Feng's expression was grim. Although Tang Sisi was angry, what Tang Li said sounded plausible, too. Chu Feng was just an ordinary person, after all. In the face of the Fang family's persistent marriage offer, he alone was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

Tang Weiguo also sighed weakly as he gazed at his precious daughter with guilt.

If he were twenty years younger, he would have willingly given up his life fighting against the Fang family's arrangement. But now that he was old, he had his concerns and responsibilities. There were more than a hundred people in the Tang family, and they were dampening his righteous zeal and fervor.

Ring, ring!

At that moment, a sudden and urgent ringtone sounded. Tang Weiguo's expression turned solemn. He quickly took out the phone he was carrying with him and stood up with a sigh.

The faces of his family members around him also became extremely somber.

The phone was a special device for the military as it allowed direct contact with senior generals. It was generally used for military orders and the like. The phone does not leave Tang Weiguo's person, and he would have to be ready to receive instructions at any time of the day.
Since both he and his son had been humiliated so thoroughly by Chu Feng, Tang Li naturally took it to heart.

The last time the phone rang was ten years ago, when a war occurred in Jiangbei.

Could it be that another war has begun?

Tang Weiguo did not dare to appear negligent, so he quickly answered the call and said in a deep tone, "This is Tang Weiguo. I am ready if the headquarters has any instructions for me."

Soon, a man's steady voice responded, "Please, there's no need to be nervous. The world remains peaceful and prosperous, and there are no wars. This call was just to reach out to you as soon as possible."

Tang Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he asked suspiciously, "In that case, who am I speaking to?"

"This is the headquarters of the Western Theater Command. Well, we received orders from a superior, so I'm informing you as part of a routine that it has been expressly approved that you be given a hundred catties of Xi Feng Liquor. Please coordinate with the delivery when the shipment arrives."

Tang Weiguo's eyes widened at that, and his hands were trembling. "H-How many catties?"

"Do you mean that it's too little, sir? Then in that case, we'll send three hundred catties. Three hundred catties of Xi Feng Liquor will be shipped to the Jiangling military theater in a week. I wish you the best of health."

Du du du-

The disconnect tone sounded on the phone. Tang Weiguo and his family were all stunned and fell into a heavy silence.

Tang Weiguo was aged, so he was hard-of-hearing and had the call on speaker mode. The content of the phone was, word for word, heard by all the Tang family members present.
