Chapter 98 Too Much

98 Too Much

After discussing their countermeasures, the people from the Lintian Village aggressively climbed over the mountain and arrived at the place where Bai Wutong and the others were camped.

The laborers from Lintian Village who had gone to repair the city wall had returned. Led by the two Wang brothers, hundreds of people had joined in.

Seeing that they were here with weapons in their hands, Bai Wutong immediately felt that they were here to fight.

Bai Wutong picked up the whistle on her chest and whistled. With a swish, everyone in their team put down their work and gathered urgently.

!!

There were more than 5,000 people in Bai Wutong’s team, and almost half of them were men in their prime age.

A dark wall of people instantly formed. Initially thinking that all the refugees were like skinny monkeys in the city, the villagers were taken aback and immediately stopped in their tracks and did not even dare to breathe.

These refugees were all strong and had weapons in their hands. Could they really ask for compensation?

If they lost their lives just to eat a few more catties of pork, it would not be worth it.

The villagers’ hearts thumped. They looked at Wang Qi, who was the acting village chief, and said carefully, “Why don’t we go back?”

Along the way, Bai Wutong and the others had seen countless dead people and killed countless ignorant people.

Even the ordinary servants and villagers were filled with a dangerous murderous aura. Wang Chang and Wang Qi swallowed hard. Thinking that they would get ten taels of silver for each piece of wood, and for ten pieces of wood, there was a generous reward of 100 taels of silver, they immediately gritted their teeth and said, “The Jade Spiritual Mountain is where we have lived for generations. They are a group of outsiders who took advantage of us and even hit us. Why can’t we ask for compensation! We have to let them pay!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tianbao walked out of the crowd.

His calm face and sharp eyes landed on the villagers like lasers.

Seeing such a handsome and imposing man, the villagers’ courage that had just been incited by Wang Qi immediately deflated.

These refugees did not look like ordinary refugees at all!

In the past, they must have had a high status in the Yan Kingdom.

It was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Qingfeng and a dozen others had defeated their entire village with a single slap. They would be fools to take such a risk for a few catties of pork and fight with thousands of strong laborers here.

Immediately, a timid villager said, “Let’s forget it. Why don’t we report them to the authorities and ask for medical fees?”

How could a little medical fee compare to an endless stream of wealth?

Wang Qi and Wang Chang said angrily, “This is our village’s territory. What are you afraid of!”

As soon as they finished speaking, the timid villager at the back of their group slipped away.

They had so many people and it was not easy for them to settle down. They would not allow themselves to be bullied even if they used their toes to think.

Weapons had no eyes. If they really fought, it would be too late to report it to the officials.

He didn’t mind living longer.

In any case, the Wang brothers must have earned most of the wood transaction. If they had the ability, they could ask for it themselves.

One of them cowered, and the others immediately followed.

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Wang brothers’ team had dispersed.

The remaining people immediately said in panic, “Wang Qi, let’s go! We don’t want the money anymore.”

How could the Wang brothers dare to face so many people alone? They gritted their teeth and said, “You’re a fool for not wanting those money.People who stay, if we manage to ask them to hand over the wood, I’ll definitely get Landlord Xiong to give each of you 20 taels of silver. Let the rest leave! Those who leave won’t have a single cent and can only watch us drink and eat meat.”

20 taels of silver per person!

They would never be able to save up this amount for a lifetime.

Those who stayed behind instantly gave up on the idea of retreating. Even the villagers who had just taken a few steps heard it. Their eyes lit up and they stood back with a whoosh.

With 20 taels of silver, he could buy a few wives. There was no need to worry about being single!

Most of the people from the Lintian Village had returned. Wang Qi mustered his courage and said to Chu Tianbao in an imposing manner, “The trees that you have cut down are all trees from our Lintian Village. You have to compensate us with money! Otherwise, don’t even think about cutting down a tree.”

If they couldn’t cut down trees, how could they explore the land?

When they came here to explore, the government did not even give them food for the winter. Yet they still wanted compensation.

These people from Lintian Village were too much.

Chu Tianbao raised his eyebrows. Before he could speak, his cold gaze frightened the villagers into taking a step back.

The crowd suddenly split apart and Bai Wutong appeared. Chu Tianbao suddenly stood in front of Bai Wutong and stared fiercely at the stunned villagers of the Lintian Village.

What a beautiful woman!

They could guarantee that even the most beautiful woman in town was not as good-looking as her.

Wang Qi and Wang Chang rubbed their eyes and only saw the woman behind Chu Tianbao revealing her dress.

There was actually such a beautiful peony hidden among the refugees. Wang Chang’s heart trembled as his mind was filled with images of her.

Cui Lingyi, Li Niang, and the others also appeared. One was like a dark moon on the horizon, and the other was like a charming demonesss on earth. The men in the village looked at them in a daze. Their mouths were wide open, and their eyes almost fell to the ground.

Not only was there a gorgeous woman, but there were also two gorgeous women in this group of refugees.

No, there might be more than these three.

The single men from Lintian Village could not help but want to see through the men in front of them to see if there were more beauties hidden in the refugee group.

Most villagers who had never seen the world were like this. Bai Wutong and the others were not particularly angry, but Chu Tianbao was different. With a whoosh, the sword at his waist left his body.

With a whoosh, sword light flashed. Before they could even blink, the sword in Chu Tianbao’s hand flew out and spun, cutting off all the hair buns on their heads.

As their heads felt light, everyone saw the hair fall to the ground. They thought about how Chu Tianbao’s cold sword had swept above their heads just now and accurately cut off everyone’s hair.

Instantly, their bodies turned cold.

Just like that, they had lost their hair. Chu Tianbao’s abilities was so terrifying!

No wonder the three beautiful refugees had not been captured yet.

...

It was likely that the person who had taken action would have probably become a dead soul under Chu Tianbao’s sword.

At the thought of this, the villagers’ legs turned to jelly. They could not run even if they wanted to. They were afraid that if they ran, Chu Tianbao would suddenly attack again, and they would lose their lives.

Qingfeng had already shaved away Wang Qi’s hair. That day, he specially wore a hat but it was sliced away again. The top of his head looked like it had been mowed by a lawnmower.

The body, hair, and skin belonged to the parents!

Wang Qi gritted his teeth and said, “You’re too much! Do you believe that I’ll report to the officials to arrest all of you!”

The word “report” made Village Chief Zhao a little flustered. He looked at Bai Wutong and waited for her to make a decision.

Wang Qi continued, “If you don’t want to be caught, compensate us obediently. If you can’t compensate us, give us all the wood you cut!”
