Chapter 968: Lady Lord Su Qin (1)

Zhao Chi quickly sent the list to Zhao Cang's subordinate.

"Sorry to trouble you, brother—get it for me as fast as you can, I need to head out right away too."

That subordinate also knew Zhao Chi, so without wasting any time, he quickly helped him gather everything.

After paying 414 gold coins, Zhao Chi immediately set off with the female soldiers and supplies.

Zhao Chi had no time to find Gu Qing, so he said to those female soldiers: "Give the list to Gu Qing, tell her to distribute the iron armor and just store the fire oil in the warehouse. Tell her I've gone out on business."

The female soldiers all nodded.

"Don't worry, my lord, we can handle it."

Teleported out of the great world.

It was already past 5 p. m. now.

The sun was setting in the west, and the weather was still a little hot.

There were very few people on the road.

Zhao Chi quickly ran toward Beimen.

Fortunately, time hadn't been wasted—Master Mu Chang hadn't arrived yet.

The dirt road outside the village was empty; this kind of village road didn't have much traffic to begin with, and now you could go half a day without seeing a single person.

But there were plenty of people inside the village.

The various families were already lined up neatly on both sides of the main gate, standing along the road, with quite a few people waving small yellow flags in their hands.

At the very front was Captain Wu Lang with those 12 alien lords, and beside them were 300 alien warriors.

Ever since Zhao Chi had seen them transform into werewolves, he had increasingly felt they looked like wolves.

Their eyes were set a little apart to the sides, and their noses and mouths jutted out slightly.

Their hair was both greasy and stiff.

The gate was open, and outside it stood several thick wooden poles with over a dozen people hanging from them.

All of them were flayed and bleeding, blood covering their bodies.

The blood had dripped beneath them and dried into a dark reddish-black.

They hadn't just been hung up there.

Although those people had already become blood-soaked figures, Zhao Chi could still recognize them—they were all people from Stream Village.

He couldn't see everything from this angle, but he could already make out a few independent households, and two people from the Qi family.

He wondered what crimes they had committed.

But hanging them outside the gate like that was probably also meant as a show of force.

Either a show of force to outsiders, or a show of force to insiders.

Everyone's attention was on the outside of the gate, so Zhao Chi quickly took his place at the back of the Zhao family formation.

Su Qin was looking around, and upon spotting Zhao Chi, she immediately squeezed over.

She whispered: "Why are you so late?"

Zhao Chi also said quietly: "There were some things to take care of in the territory. What's that situation?"

He pointed at the people hanging outside the gate.

Su Qin was a little surprised: "You don't know? What have you been doing these past few days?"

"I've been busy crafting equipment these past few days—I barely looked at anything that wasn't a mandatory notice."
