Chapter 742

He even had the urge to help him pay.

However, the clan wasn't the only one like Zhao Jing; he couldn't help everyone.

If something urgent came up later, he'd help then.

Soon, the two drove to Beimen.

Beimen was still surrounded by lords.

But unlike the morning, this time the lords were clearly buzzing with discussion.

And they were obviously all indignant.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Zhao Chi saw over 3,000 people approaching outside the village.

Twice as many as the morning.

At the very front were three leaders.

The leader on the left looked very familiar.

Burly build, face showing contempt and mockery.

Wasn't that Zhou Hua?

Zhao Chi understood instantly.

No wonder the lords were buzzing with discussion.

It looked like Zhou Hua had taken the money and come back.

And brought other rebel forces with him.

The brows of several clan leaders were all knitted together.

Xiao Xiao Qiao said with slight anger: "General Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Hua said with a grin: "Hahaha, Clan Leader Xiao, don't be angry. Of course Zhou Hua keeps his word. I just came with my two brothers to watch the fun, not to cause trouble."

Qi Hengying said: "Since General Zhou keeps his word, please leave."

Zhou Hua shook his head: "No, no, no. I came together with my two brothers. As long as they're here and not leaving, what reason do I have to leave first? We came together, we must leave together."

At this moment.

The leader in the middle also spoke.

"It seems I'm still not famous enough. The two clan leaders only chat with General Zhou Hua and don't pay any attention to General Huang Zhao and me, General Lu Guan."

Liu Xuanqi sighed: "General Huang, General Lu, it's not that we don't take you seriously. It's just that we gave General Zhou 100,000 gold coins this morning, and now supplies are scarce. There's not much we can offer."

Lu Guan sneered: "Not much? That means there's some. It's fine, give however much you have. I won't complain it's too little."

Huang Zhao laughed: "General Lu Guan, you're too easily satisfied, aren't you? It can be less, but not excessively less, right?"

Lu Guan laughed: "Of course. I'm not as good as General Zhou Hua, so my appetite is smaller. 50,000 gold coins and I'm satisfied."

Huang Zhao nodded: "That makes sense too. My appetite isn't big either. 70,000 gold coins will do."

Zhou Hua nodded: "I didn't expect the two of you to be so polite. The four clan leaders must be very moved. I think these 120,000 gold coins definitely won't be a problem. Four clan leaders, tell me, isn't that right?"

Xiao Xiao Qiao's teeth were nearly ground to dust.

His fists clenched so hard they cracked.

Zhao Shizhang stepped forward and tugged his sleeve.

Then he said to the three rebel leaders: "Three generals, please wait a moment. Let us discuss further."

Lu Guan laughed: "Of course no problem. But it's getting late now. I hope you can finish discussing within 15 minutes."

None of the four clan leaders replied.

All gathered together with dark expressions.

Qi Hengying cursed angrily: "Damn it, that 100,000 gold coins was really fed to the dogs."

Xiao Xiao Qiao said: "Even a dog can be tamed with 100,000 gold coins. Zhou Hua never intended to let things go from the start. It seems he doesn't just want money—he wants to eat us clean."

Zhao Shizhang shook his head: "Not necessarily. Zhou Hua isn't stupid either. Their rebel force has many people, but their combat power is average. He doesn't have much chance of winning against us. He's just gambling, seeing if we're willing to fight."

Liu Xuanqi said: "He won his gamble this morning and came back in the afternoon. That's no longer a gamble—he really wants to have a go at us."

Xiao Xiao Qiao said: "Then fight. Lose some strength, lose some strength. At least after the fight, we can snatch back the money we paid out this morning!"

Zhao Shizhang said: "The other side has 3,000 people, with at least 1,000 lords. It's not an easy fight. After the battle, our strength will likely drop by a large chunk. If new rebel forces come again, then we…"

Xiao Xiao Qiao said: "What else? Pay another 120,000 gold coins? Do you have the money? If we pay again this time, even without fighting, we'll need to lose strength to make up for that money."

Qi Hengying said: "That's the logic. After the fight, the temporary losses will be greater, but we can get more abundant loot. Wait a few days and our strength will recover. If we don't fight, what if they come again tomorrow? Just let them bleed us dry?"

Zhao Shizhang sighed: "Sigh… that's true. Then let's fight! Die a satisfying death! What comes after, we leave to fate."

The four clan leaders finished their discussion.

Fight!

Xiao Xiao Qiao walked to the middle of Beimen.

Zhou Hua laughed: "How is it, Leader Xiao? Figured it out?"

Xiao Xiao Qiao laughed: "Yeah, figured it out. You rebels and General Yan Ling's rebels aren't the same kind at all. You're just complete trash."

Zhou Hua's face changed drastically.

"What the hell did you say?"

Xiao Xiao Qiao's hands glowed: "I said, you all deserve to die! Come fight!"

In an instant, the entire Stream Village seemed to flash.

Immediately after, a massive formation appeared on the ground, enveloping the entire Stream Village.

Zhao Chi suddenly felt a familiar sensation.

Zhao Shizhang shouted: "Stream Village's teleport permissions already enabled. Everyone can teleport at any time. Prepare for battle immediately and pick your opponents!"

So the teleport permissions had been enabled. No wonder it felt so familiar.

Now the entire Creek Village can teleport anywhere.

Normally, this would be illegal.

But now, there is no law.

Strength is law.
