Chapter 354: Damn Emperor, No Face
The atmosphere at the scene was tense, with both sides glaring at each other with guns in hand, but no one dared to fire the first shot.
Military Advisor Park looked at the murderous look in the other party's eyes. He was anxious and impatient inside, but he tried hard to suppress his surging anger and murderous intent.
That's right, he really didn't dare to take action. Although Jin Junli was important, the Independence Army, a powerful partner, was more important.
This Lu Shan is a favorite of Marshal Zhang, and is also one of the few five-star generals in the Independence Army. If there is a head-on collision with him and bloodshed occurs, even if he can secure the position of commander-in-chief in the future, it will be difficult for him to lead the team to deal with the Sakura Country.
"What? Just talking?" Lu Shan saw the other party didn't move for a long time. He sneered and put away his gun. He glanced at the angry expression on the other side and warned: "You have your rules, we have our principles. We should keep to ourselves. There's no need to make things so awkward. Please go back. The person you are looking for is not here."
"Wait!!" Just as Lu Shan was about to leave, a middle-aged man at the back of the crowd walked past the guards and came straight to Lu Shan.
When he saw him appear, a hint of coldness and annoyance once again appeared in Military Advisor Park's cold eyes.
"General Lu, I am Li Xingwen, and I have come with the imperial edict from His Majesty. I would like to meet Marshal Zhang!" Li Xingwen bowed slightly. Although he spoke politely, the arrogance in his eyes was not concealed at all.
In Silla, the royal family is the sky, and His Majesty the Emperor is the man who controls the entire world.
Therefore, he felt that since he appeared at this time and brought the emperor's oral order, no matter how arrogant Zhang Ye was, he should be given some face.
"Tsk..." After looking Li Xingwen up and down, Lu Shan smacked his lips, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth. "You Silla people are really interesting. It's like you don't have ears. I've said it so many times, the Marshal doesn't see guests, don't you understand?"
"You!" Li Xingwen, who had been smug and confident of victory just a second ago, suddenly changed his expression upon hearing this. He clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths, adjusting himself as he did so. He then warned, "General Lu, I remind you again, this is His Majesty's order. I hope you won't make a mistake!"
"That's your Majesty, and he has nothing to do with me!" Lu Shan crossed his arms and looked at the other person as if he were a fool. He felt extremely embarrassed and wanted to tear off the last piece of fig leaf in public.
What a bullshit Majesty, isn’t he just a prisoner of the Sakura people!
It's such a tiny place and so poor, and the entire royal family is living in someone else's cage. Do you think it's pretty impressive?
Your Majesty, what a piece of shit! Back in Daxia, any county magistrate will have a more comfortable life than their emperor. You really think you are such a big shot.
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then I can only force my way in!" Li Xingwen was choked to death by him. He gasped and looked at Military Advisor Park beside him, whispering, "Bring your men to force their way in. Jin Junli must be in our hands!"
"This is His Majesty's will!"
Military Advisor Park, who had been hesitant and afraid that this would destroy the cooperation between the two parties, was shocked after hearing the order and did not know how to respond for a while.
He knew that the royal family could not tolerate Jin Junli and his father, but he did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would be so cruel that he would even abandon his partner in order to get rid of the other party.
But the problem is that by doing this, they completely trapped Military Advisor Park in the middle.
If he doesn't obey His Majesty's orders, he won't be able to get the position of commander-in-chief of the rebels. But if he obeys the other party's orders, even if he becomes the commander-in-chief, without the supply of weapons and equipment, how long can he hold power?
"What are you waiting for? Get started!" Li Xingwen shouted angrily and retreated behind the crowd.
With his order, Military Advisor Park and others looked at each other in confusion. After a little hesitation, they finally obeyed his order.
"The Independence Army harbored criminals, and now, facing our military's pursuit of accountability, they still stubbornly refuse to negotiate. Everyone, listen to my order, open fire immediately!"
Military Advisor Park is indeed a cultured person. Before taking action, he even prepared a set of words for you, describing his side as extremely righteous, which was also a disguised explanation to himself.
"Let's fight, stop talking nonsense!" Lu Shan, who had been holding back for half the night, was just waiting for their order. When he saw that the other side was still chattering nonsense, he immediately raised his gun and opened fire.
boom!
As the first gunshot rang out, the guard division personnel hiding in the streets and alleys quickly came out to defend, and the light and heavy machine guns that had been ready for a long time bared their bloodthirsty fangs at this moment.
Da da da da da…
The rebels opened fire immediately afterwards. In the dark night, the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the entire Quancheng, waking up the few civilians in the middle of the night, thinking that the enemy had attacked.
At the same time, in the Marshal's Mansion, the moment the gunshots rang out, Jin Junli, who was feeling very uneasy, immediately stood up, ran out of the door, looked at the night sky filled with flames, and unconsciously clenched his fists.
He just couldn't understand why these people hated him so much that they were willing to rush in and kill him even at the cost of their cooperative relationship.
Is the so-called "Commander-in-Chief" position really that attractive?
"Marshal, are they just going to open fire? Go and stop them quickly. We can't waste these defensive forces!" After feeling sad for a while, Jin Junli ran to Zhang Ye and persuaded him.
Even at this time, this guy is still dreaming of ending this civil strife through negotiations.
"Let's fight!" Zhang Ye slumped in his chair, holding the unfinished book in his arms, and chuckled, "You're angry, I'm angry too, and the other side is probably even angrier. Since everyone is quite dissatisfied, let's fight until we're satisfied."
"It doesn't matter who we fight, we'll just entertain Sakura Country."
"But...but doing this..." Jin Junli wanted to say that doing this would consume the country's national defense capabilities.
But on second thought, this matter has nothing to do with the Independence Army, and they don't need to fight a protracted war with the Sakura Country here.
After two days, the fleet will set sail, leaving behind this mess that the Silla people will still have to deal with themselves.
"Just stay calm. If you get impatient over such a small matter, how can you accomplish anything great?" Zhang Ye waved his hand, signaling him to calm down.
It's just a few people dying in a firefight. There are always casualties in war.
At this time, it all comes down to who can keep their composure. The Silla Emperor has already lost the initiative.
At most, we can wait until daybreak. If they cannot attack, they will definitely try to negotiate peace.
By then, the fun will have just begun.
