Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.
'Go back? What for?'
'It doesn't take a genius to figure out what that means!'
Li Lu immediately said to Li Xian, "You, take some men to the County Town and spread the word at once! Once the rest of their forces arrive, we'll be completely powerless to resist. It doesn't matter if it works or not; we have to try and incite them to fight back."
"Yes, Gang Leader!" Li Xian affirmed, quickly leading a few men and running toward the County Town.
Li Lu turned to Zhao the Seventh, his expression grave. "Arrange for our men to hide in the farmlands with unlit torches. The moment these Outsiders make a move on us, watch for the signal from the village and burn it all! No one is going to benefit from this!"
Hearing this order, Zhao the Seventh froze. He stammered, "But this is Lord Cheng's life's work! If we burn it, when he gets back, won't he… won't he…"
