Chapter 123 Using a borrowed knife to kill



"Wait!"

As soon as Lin Xuan uttered these words, someone in the crowd immediately stood up to stop him.

He is Su Kui, one of the current deputy commanders.

Behind him followed six other deputy commanders.

And a large group of captains and colonels.

When Lin Xuan announced that he would adopt a competitive recruitment system in the First Army, Su Kui and the other six people strongly opposed it and even threatened to join forces to deal with Lin Xuan.

Because Lin Xuan's competitive selection system harmed their interests.

"Commander Lin, according to the laws of our Great Xia and the rules of Shanhaiguan, your unauthorized reforms of the First Army and the increase in the soldiers' benefits are unacceptable."

That's against the rules.

Su Kui looked at Lin Xuan on the high platform with a gloomy face and said coldly, "We have already submitted a report on this matter to the Elders' Council of Shanhaiguan."

The competitive selection system is unacceptable; you can cancel it now while you still can…

“That’s right, Commander Lin, we know you want to establish your authority, but your system is a trap that will overthrow the First Army and lead to its complete destruction.”

“We will absolutely not allow you to act so recklessly. If you do not rescind this order, we will convene a high-level meeting of the First Army and propose the removal of you as commander-in-chief.”

"The elders will not agree either, Lin Xuan. You want to run the First Army as a one-man show? That's absolutely impossible."

We are the first to disagree.

...

With Su Kui taking the lead, the other six deputy commanders, as well as the captains and colonels who followed them, also stood up to echo him.

They all sneered and stared at Lin Xuan with disdain.

They could have confronted Lin Xuan much earlier, as they already had the support of certain members of the elders' council.

The reason they waited until today to make their move is because they had been holding back.

They wanted to crush Lin Xuan into the mud when he was at his most powerful.

This caused him to lose face completely, making it impossible for him to maintain his position in the First Army from then on.

pity!

Su Kui and the others had a good idea, but they chose the wrong target.

Lin Xuan naturally wouldn't listen to their nonsense. He simply glanced at them coldly and said in a cold voice, "What, are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"I wouldn't dare, I was just kindly reminding the President not to make a mistake."

Su Kui sneered.

Although he said he wouldn't dare, the disdain in his eyes was obvious even to a fool.

"hehe!"

Lin Xuan chuckled, ignoring Su Kui and his fellow clowns, and instead looked at all the soldiers of the First Army, saying loudly, "Gentlemen, you all heard that too."

Now some people are trying to obstruct the implementation of the new policies of this leader.

There are some people who don't want you to receive better treatment. Are you willing to accept that?

"No!"

“That’s right, we don’t want to. Anyone who tries to stop us from getting better treatment is our enemy, and we will fight them to the death.”

"Su Kui...you bastard, a piece of trash who got the position of deputy commander through connections. You used to exploit us and make us work hard, while you sat back and took the credit."

Now you want to stop us from getting better treatment? You'll all die a horrible death!

“A bunch of parasites! Anyone who dares to oppose the President is an enemy of us. Kill these bastards…”

...

As soon as Lin Xuan uttered these words, someone in the crowd immediately echoed his sentiment.

This sparked an outburst from more and more people.

They began to criticize and berate Su Kui and others.

At this moment, if someone were to pay close attention, they would notice that those leading the commotion were none other than members of Team Twenty-Three.

Su Changfeng had anticipated this, so he had the members of Team Twenty-Three ready early on.

They blend into the crowd and, at crucial moments, guide public opinion.

Originally, it was just a precaution to prevent Su Kui and his gang from causing trouble, but unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.

"You bastards... what are you trying to do, rebel?"

Su Kui's expression changed drastically. Pointing at the angry soldiers around him, he roared, "The competitive selection system must not be implemented. This is the decree of the Elders' Council!"

If you dare to oppose me, you are committing treason and will be killed without mercy…

"I'll kill your sister!"

Among the crowd, Tie Dachui was the first to lose his temper, shouting: "Brothers, these bastards, they always suck our blood and exploit us!"

Now they want to ruin our plans and can't stand to see us doing well.

This is utterly hateful! Let's all attack together and kill this bastard!

"That's right, beat this bastard to death. Do you really think things are still the same as before, with Commander Lin around? You still want to be arrogant?"

"Kill them, kill these bastards."

"I've disliked them for a long time. They have no real strength, and all they do is exploit us, steal our credit, and bully us because of their connections."

Now they dare to obstruct our opportunity! Kill this bastard!

"kill……"

With a loud roar from the sledgehammer, a huge uproar ensued.

Many people were immediately filled with murderous intent and rushed towards Su Kui and his group.

This scene immediately startled Su Kui and the others.

Their expressions changed drastically.

They never imagined that the peasants, who were usually so meek and obedient, would dare to threaten to kill them today.

Moreover, judging from this posture, he clearly has a real intention to kill.

Many people felt a chill run through their bodies and were trembling all over.

Just then, Su Kui roared angrily, "You bastards, you trash, you peasants, how dare you disrespect us!"

You are just leeks for us to exploit, dogs we raise. If you behave obediently, we might even reward you with a bone.

Anyone who dares to resist, be killed...

not good!

The other deputy commanders beside Su Kui immediately changed their expressions, feeling a chill run down their spines and a sense of unease.
