With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

General Butcher glared at General Chisha and said angrily.

"Do you think we are all fools? If this national seal is fake, why would you be so nervous?"

General Chisha was not annoyed, but smiled faintly and said:

"I'm nervous? Why should I be nervous? This national seal is not mine."

"Hmph! Stop pretending to be confused!" said the one-eyed man.

"This national seal is in your hands, so it's yours! If you dare to embezzle it, don't blame us for being rude!"

Seeing that the time was almost right, General Chisha pointed to the two scrolls in the brocade box and said:

"Everyone, don't rush to fight over the national seal. There are two other items here that may be more useful to us."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to the scroll.

The Butcher General grabbed the scroll and roughly unfolded it, only to find that it was covered with densely written words.

"What's this about?" asked the Butcher General in confusion.

The pedantic scholar snatched the scroll and began to read it carefully.

After a moment, his face changed drastically and he exclaimed:

"This... is the Empress's edict! And... there's also a marriage certificate!"

"What imperial edict? What marriage certificate?" everyone asked.

The pedantic scholar read out the contents of the scroll.

It turned out that this was the empress's edict, announcing that she would enfeoff the Zhang family.

The other scroll was the marriage certificate between the empress and the young master of the Zhang family.

After hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked.

"What? The Empress is really going to marry that guy from the Zhang family?"

"What's so good about that kid from the Zhang family? Why would he marry the empress?"

"Bah! This empress is so shameless!"

"This thing...tsk tsk, this empress really can't wait to get married!"

The one-eyed man held the national seal in his hand, and greed gleamed in his one eye.

General Chisha coughed lightly and spoke slowly:

"I took the things out, but there are four of us in this tent. Who will keep them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The Butcher General slammed his hand on the table, shaking the teacup.

"Nonsense! Of course it's me! I have tens of thousands of soldiers under my command, who dares to rob them?"

The pedantic scholar snorted disdainfully and pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose.

"How can a crude warrior understand what legitimacy is? Such an important item should naturally be kept by someone well-read and well-educated, so that its value can be fully realized!"

The one-eyed dragon was not to be outdone and patted his chest and shouted:

"Who do you two think you are? My men are all desperate criminals. If we really start fighting, who among you can stop us?"

The three of them were arguing with each other, and the whole tent was in an uproar.

General Chisha watched coldly, a barely perceptible sneer on his lips.

When they had almost finished arguing, he spoke slowly:

"Everyone, it's not a good idea to keep arguing like this. In my opinion, it's better to leave it with me first, and then we can support a puppet emperor and make a decision."

"Put it there? You f*cking want to keep it all for yourself!"

The pedantic scholar immediately jumped up and cursed at General Chisha, pointing at his nose.

"hehe,"

General Chisha waved his hand calmly.

"I seized the items first, and I'm willing to give them to you because of our alliance. The most urgent thing now is not to fight among ourselves, but to figure out how to deal with the Zhang family army."

"First, take Jingzhou City, then deal with the Zhang family!"

The one-eyed man proposed hurriedly.

"No," General Chisha shook his head.

"Jingzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if we take it by force, we will suffer heavy losses, which is not worth the loss. It is better to conserve our strength and defeat the Zhang family army first. Jingzhou City will be easily captured!"

"But we've put in so much effort, wouldn't it be all in vain if we just withdraw like this?"

General Butcher was somewhat unwilling.

"Which is more important, the Empress or the Great Seal?"

General Chisha asked back.

"There's also Liu An in Shangjing. This female emperor has long been illegitimate. But Liu An doesn't have the national seal, so he can't be the legitimate heir. Whoever possesses the national seal is the legitimate heir. Do you understand?"

"Hmm... that makes some sense."

The Butcher General scratched his head and seemed convinced.

"Then let's withdraw!"

The one-eyed man also echoed.

General Chisha laughed heartily, patted General Butcher on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Old Butcher, I'll leave this national seal in your care for the time being. I know you're a rough man with no ulterior motives, so I feel safe leaving it in your care."

The Butcher General held the brocade box in his hand, his fat body shaking with excitement, and grinned:

"General Chisha, you really think too highly of me! I, the butcher, have no other talents, but I'm loyal!"

"I will definitely keep this national seal safe!"

"Withdraw our troops first. Once we've dealt with the Zhang family, we can then take on Jingzhou City!"

General Chisha felt relieved after getting rid of the hot potato, and now he just wanted to return to his territory as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

The Butcher General nodded quickly in agreement.

"We should unite against the enemy and take Jingzhou City first!"

The attention of the others was now focused on the Butcher General and the brocade box in his hand.

The one-eyed dragon came forward with a sly look, rubbing his hands and saying:

"Brother Butcher, this treasure, let me open my eyes too, right?"

The Butcher General held the brocade box tightly with caution and took a step back.

"Go away, go away! This is a treasure. If it breaks, can you afford to pay for it?"

The pedantic scholar also came up and said in a sarcastic tone,

"General Butcher, I'm really worried about leaving such a valuable treasure in your hands. What if..."

"What if? You want to rob me, right?"

The Butcher General widened his eyes like a wild beast guarding its food.

"I dare not, I dare not," the pedantic scholar waved his hands quickly.

"But this thing is of great importance. If it falls into the hands of others, the consequences will be disastrous."

General Chisha looked at the three people and felt secretly proud.

The national seal is a hot potato in his hands.

Now it has been successfully thrown out and the relationship between them has been provoked.

What a great idea!

He yawned and said in a tired voice,

"Alright, alright, stop talking and withdraw your troops. I'm tired and I'm going back to bed."

After saying that, he turned and left the tent, leaving the three of them to continue arguing.

General Chisha walked out of the tent and stretched.

The cool breeze in the early morning brushed across his face, clearing his muddled mind a little.

The wine I drank last night still makes me feel a dull pain.

He rubbed his temples and thought to himself:

This bunch of rabble is just this little bit less capable. They're fighting to the death for a broken box. It's really laughable.

There were hurried footsteps behind him. It was his confidant, named Sharifei.

"General! I don't understand. We were the first to obtain the national seal, so why did we give it to that butcher? I won't accept this!"

Sharifei looked angry and his tone was full of doubt.

General Chisha stopped, glanced back at him, and a scornful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Sha Lifei, you're still too young. Can he catch that butcher? Our four-army alliance may appear united, but in reality, we're a loose group, each with its own agenda."

"Once the Zhang family army arrives, do you think they will fight to the death for that butcher? Dream on!"
