"You may all disperse!"
Kiro waved his hand and entered the village as well.
The Lords on both sides looked at each other, none of them knowing what would happen next.
But it could only be one of three things: war, taxation, or suppression.
It could be one of them, or it could be all three at once.
The villagers dispersed.
Zhao Chi saw his fourth uncle, Zhao Qiye, go directly to the Xiao Family's residence, along with representatives from several other families.
They were probably going to discuss the situation with the merchant caravan.
Although the four families had their fair share of conflicts before, they had thankfully maintained a basic level of decorum and hadn't turned completely hostile and declared war.
Now that a greater conflict had arrived, they were actually able to sit down and cooperate for their common interests.
The Lords all went their separate ways.
Su Qin stayed by Zhao Chi's side.
She didn't say anything, just kept following him.
