Nobody had thought that it would be Jingyi’s Ming Yao who shot at Ning Fengbei.
However, Wu Jin had moved faster than he had. The bayonet travelled through a small segment of the parliament room, disrupting Ming Yao’s shooting judgement and giving the Red and White Roses enough time to react.
There was one second of silence, two seconds, three––
Within a sea of startled gazes, Chu Chu sucked in a breath, “Little-Little Ming attacked the King, does he want to rebel?!”
The parliament room was full of the smell of gunpowder and smoke, but they could hear someone speak in a stunned voice, “This, is this the Jingyi Double C going up against the Scarf CP? A battle between the peak CPs? Why did Brother Ming shoot...”
“What Scarf? Not even Contestant Wei’s shadow can be seen! It’s interest related, hey. As soon as the Red Rose signs, Captain Zuo’s heating equipment will be cut off. Sniper ambushes that last for a long time require a constant temperature, so heating equipment is more important for them than for any other team! Ming Yao can’t let this motion pass, get it?”
At this time, Ming Yao turned the muzzle of his gun and pointed it at Wu Jin. His words came out in an endless stream of shouting, “I don’t want things to be like this! Little Witch how could you collude with the commoners! You’re a priest, too...”
Wu Jin adjusted his breathing slightly.
The entire Council Hall was noisy. Similar to the era of Louis XIV and Louis XV, this Council Hall had witnessed the glory of the Sun King and the overturning of Madame de Pompadour. The Crosson Show seemed to have kept the plot within the scope of ‘real history’ from beginning to end, including the rise, decline, and turbulence of France.
Including this time.
The program group had moved the timeline to 1789.
The revolution weakened Catholic power, and interests were transferred to the other two classes. The three class assembly intensified the public’s resentment towards Catholicism, and the church and clergymen who once allied with the Royals and whose interests had been shaken at this time, such as Ming Yao and Zuo Botang, began to severely oppose the electoral voting system that represented ‘freedom and revolution’.
As well as the royal family who’d opposed signing the bill.
There were only ever eternal interests, no eternal allies.
Wu Jin set down the gun and went straight to Ming Yao. Ming Yao watched Wu Jin alertly, but unexpectedly, Wu Jin brushed past him, a few words floating into his ears as he walked past the Jingyi Double C to join the Red and White Roses.
Beneath the stage, Lan watched the proceedings with interest.
Zuo Botang asked in a low voice, “What did he say?” The Jingyi Captain’s line of sight swept subconsciously over Ming Yao, his eyes turning complex for a moment. His feelings were also mixed with gratitude that Ming Yao was the first to jump out and defend him.
Ming Yao was puzzled as he repeated, “He said... Protect-protect the King...”
Wu Jin finally came to a stop in front of the Red and White Roses.
Ning Fengbei spoke with him in low tones, then nodded and stood in front of the high platform once again, “Well, due to Duke Ming Yao’s strong opposition, we will unfortunately have to veto this proposal... Heating equipment will be distributed according to the original allocation. Nine hours for nobles, eight hours for the clergy, and four hours for the commoners. No changes will be made.
