Chapter 408 Peach Blossoms, Seeing Peach Blossoms Again
Destroy this stone statue? Du Xiuyuan was startled, glancing at the Maitreya Buddha, and whispered, "General, is this perhaps inappropriate? To my knowledge, this reclining Buddha was built by Emperor Taizu—"
Lin Wanrong smiled faintly and said, "Brother Du, don't worry. I, Lin San, will take full responsibility for any consequences. I've been disliking this Buddha statue for a long time. A few cannon shots to get rid of it will ease my irritation."
That's a reason? Du Xiuyuan and the men behind him, Xu Zhen among them, looked at each other in disbelief, unable to utter a word. Xu Zhiqing helplessly shook her head, saying, "Just follow General Lin's orders. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility with him."
Lin Wanrong whispered something into Du Xiuyuan's ear, and Du Xiuyuan slightly nodded. Clenching his teeth, he saluted and said, "Your subordinate obeys!" He waved his hand, and the officers behind him quickly led the soldiers into formation, with Divine Machine Unit positioned at the front. Eight brand-new Divine Machine Unit cannons were placed on the ground, their dark barrels gleaming coldly.
Lin Wanrong gratefully glanced at Miss Xu and whispered, "Miss Xu, don't be too kind to me; I fear I might not be able to resist offering myself to you."
Having become accustomed to his mad ravings, Xu Zhiqing had developed some immunity and snorted, "What nonsense. When you find Miss Qingxuan, just contribute more to our Great Hua."
Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, thinking, ‘Contribute to Great Hua? Have I not contributed enough? Though I claim not to want to do the work, haven't I always handled things when they go wrong? Who do I tell my grievances to?’
"The gunpowder is loaded, and the angle is adjusted. General, please give the order," Du Xiuyuan's loud shout awoke Lin Wanrong from his thoughts. Looking not far away, he saw that Du Xiuyuan had brought a full five thousand troops. Banners waved, blades gleamed, and the force was mighty. Divine Machine Unit's cannons were fully adjusted, waiting for his command to fire in unison, shattering the stone statue into pieces. The atmosphere at the scene was tense and grave.
