Chapter 995 Tit for Tat

river city.

Since the current city lord Odole inherited the position of the city lord, Hecheng has been divided into two factions.

One faction is naturally Odole, and the other is Quelas who controls part of the army.

The two parties have entanglements in interests, but because of the unclear interest relationship between them, they have not broken their faces for the time being. Everything will be done in accordance with the usual practice. When there is a major event or a conflict of interest, a meeting will be held in the conference hall. The two sides sit down to negotiate to resolve the dispute and compromise with each other.

But since the capture of Jiangcheng, this situation of mutual compromise has now begun to disintegrate.

A meeting was also held today, but unlike in the past, the atmosphere of this meeting was very tense, and it was only short of igniting the fuze before it would explode.

Participants, the two factions dominated by the city lord Odolai and Quelas, were divided into left and right sides.

The main seat of the long table is naturally Odole, and sitting opposite him is Quelas, who is the most powerful outside the city lord of Hecheng.

The seat on the right hand of the city lord is Odolai's most important subordinate, Monza. This person controls the army for Odolai. By the way, it is the fourth brother of the city lord, Skaco, who was given a green hat by Queiras, and other subordinates.

Counting down from the right hand of Quilas, they are the ambitious third brother Barry who took refuge in him, the fifth brother Kube who raised his children, the sixth brother in the boarding house, and several of his subordinates.

When Jiangcheng was broken, the army led by Queiras took the lead. However, when the troops were sent to attack, Odole personally went to the front line to control Queiras. In name, he, the city lord, occupied Jiangcheng himself. The reason why he took it under command.

At the meeting, the two factions were clearly divided. They aimed at Jiangcheng and fought for their own interests.

One side thinks that sending troops to Jiangcheng is the most important, and Jiangcheng should be fully controlled by them.

The other side, on the grounds that the city lord is the highest, believes that no matter now or in the future, as long as it is under the rule of Hecheng, it should be ruled by the city lord, and there is absolutely no possibility of breaking away from self-government.

Queiras proposed to control Jiangcheng and share his brother's worries, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he wanted to break away from Rivercheng and fight against Odolai on his own. He might not turn back when he develops in the future Attack the river city.

Naturally, Odole also knew what Queiras was thinking, so no matter what, he couldn't allow Queiras to control Jiangcheng, give the other party a chance, and threaten him in the future.

Queiras wanted to start a new mountain, and Odolai didn't want to release the tiger. Under such circumstances, the two sides met again and again, but each time they ended up unhappy. The conflict has become irresolvable to this day.

Although the two sides are still restraining for some reason, this restraint has reached the limit, and it may be just a little spark, which will make the two sides unable to bear it.

At the meeting, Odole and Queiras let the people below to confront each other. They sat in their seats and stared at each other coldly without saying a word, but the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger when their eyes met.

They were all thinking about whether to make a face-off on the spot.

But after thinking about it, it's not good for any of them to be the first to turn their faces.

Queiras can't be the first to turn his face, because this turn of his face will easily get a rebellious title. When Odole takes the righteousness and declares Queiras to be a traitor, he can also get rid of those who follow Queiras' subordinates. People call it rebellious.

This is extremely unfavorable given that Quelas currently controls the main body of the army's soldiers, which are still composed of Hecheng people. After all, the soldiers' families are all in Hecheng. Who would want to rebel against the rebels and hurt their families.

As the lord of the city, Odolai, in the absence of a clear rebellion by Queiras, might be used by the other party if he made an attack first. Queiras is still his own brother, and even brothers are so intolerable, who would want to do things for him in the future.

Moreover, it was reasonable for Queiras to raise troops to protect himself at this time, because he was forced to take advantage of the reason. At the same time, he didn't have to be afraid that Odole would use the soldier's family as a threat, and he even wished that Audrey would attack the soldier's family. It can make soldiers follow desperately.

Therefore, the two sides can't tear their faces apart for the time being, and are still restraining themselves.

However, this kind of restraint will not last long, because Jiangcheng is there, and it is impossible to put it on hold forever, and Quelas does not want to wait for a long time, after all, Jiangcheng is a great opportunity for him to get out of the cage.

Odole and Queiras looked at each other coldly for a long time, listening to the confrontation between their subordinates, you come and I are equal, knowing that today may end in the end of the negotiation, so they don't plan to waste time.

"I think that's it for today. I'll go back and think about it before making any fuss."

"Stop it all. If you continue arguing, the result will still be the same. It's a waste of time."

O'Dole and Queiras spoke out at the same time to stop this doomed dispute.

Hearing the head of the family speak, the two factions fell silent, packed up their things like the previous few times, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Odole said to Queiras:

"Second brother, I think you should think about it after you go back. I suggested that Jiangcheng can be managed by you, but you can't leave Hecheng, and you must accept my protection."

Even a person with a normal IQ would not agree to this condition, if he was really stupid enough to agree, his life would be dead.

Queiras sneered and replied, "Brother, if it were you, would you agree? Change it to let me keep my most beloved son or all my sons. I agree. What do you think?"

I don't feel sorry for having so many sons that I can wholesale. Queiras actually hoped that Odole would agree, but he also knew that it was impossible for the other party to agree.

O'Dole also sneered at this.

Others don't know, I still don't know, you have two or three sons on the surface, but it's useless even if you keep them all, because your sons in secret don't say a dozen, let's take my subordinates for example, ten or eight Among the nine, there might be an onion you left behind planted in the field at home.

If I hadn't been so guarded against the fields at home, I might have given them to you too.

"I don't think so. My nephews are young. They should be let out to exercise in order to grow up. You and I are both older. The best choice is to stay behind and give support." O'Dole said.

"They are too young and ignorant, and they are easy to be deceived when they go out. Maybe someone asked them to sell me and help count the money."

"That's not enough, the nephews are all up to you, they are smart, besides, I'm watching with you."

"Hehe, let's forget it. I don't know what kind of virtue they are, and they are not good enough. I should take advantage of my ability to move and earn more for them."

"Second brother, no matter how much you earn, they won't be able to keep it if they are incapable."

"Brother, you don't need to worry. You can learn your abilities slowly. I think I will always teach one of them before I die."

"Now the Federation is in chaos, I'm afraid you don't have the time to teach slowly."

"Don't worry about it, brother, I will take care of my own affairs."

"snort."

Odolai and Queiras exchanged in a strange atmosphere, and ended with a cold snort at the same time, and then the two stood up from their seats and prepared to leave.

"bump"

At this moment, the conference room was pushed away abruptly, and a person ran in in a panic.

"Brother-in-law, it's bad. The Jiangcheng barracks were burned down by a group of soldiers who came from somewhere and wore the uniforms of our Hecheng army."

Yelling, it's Dakko.
