Chapter 1749: Rising to Fame (8)

Meng Meng lay on the ground, talking nonstop.

Zhao Chi never interrupted him.

Lords who held this kind of worldview didn't seem to be few; Zhao Chi had often heard similar remarks before, but fortunately the lords around him were not like this.

If viewed from Meng Meng's perspective, he truly felt that what he said made perfect sense, and he genuinely believed in this view.

But Zhao Chi merely smiled.

"You're right. I'd better be more practical."

Meng Meng laughed: "That's right, friend. If you let me go, not only will you get more money, but next time if a battle goes badly, our Heavenly King Army will let you off too."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I mean, you're a county-level lord, and a 932nd-batch lord at that—how could you possibly have only this one territory?"

"Huh??"

Meng Meng was stunned: "You… you-you-you what do you mean?"

Zhao Chi smiled: "Zhuang Ya, interrogate him properly. I think it's possible he has a secondary territory."

After hearing Meng Meng's whole spiel, Zhuang Ya's delicate brows had also furrowed slightly.

Especially when she heard Meng Meng slander Zhao Chi's treatment of the female soldiers, she had wanted to defend Zhao Chi, but seeing that Zhao Chi had no intention of defending himself, she simply stood beside him and continued listening.

Now hearing Zhao Chi's order, Zhuang Ya licked her lips, a smile on her lovely face.

"Don't worry, my lord. I'll make him confess properly."

Meng Meng was about to go mad.

After saying all that, he had thought Zhao Chi agreed with him.

How did something new come up again?

"Wait, Zhao Chi, wait! I don't have any other territory, really, I don't have any other territory! How can you not play by the rules? How can you not play by the rules?! I've let seven of your lords go! You can't do this… don't-don't-don't, heroine, don't burn me… aaaaaaaah ooooooo!!"

Meng Meng's screams were pitiful.

It sounded as if he was about to be burned to death at any moment.

But Zhao Chi was quite at ease.

Zhuang Ya handled things very thoroughly and very maturely; she wouldn't kill Meng Meng.

She would only make him behave and obey.

He left the stone house.

More than half an hour had now passed; he didn't know how everyone's battle was going.

Zhao Chi checked the battle situation.
