Zhao Chuchu turned and saw a tall, thin woman rushing over with a wood chopper in her hand.
"I want to kill all of you!"
The woman was hysterical and aimed her chopper at Zhao Chuchu.
Before she could get any closer, Lin Xiang kicked her. The woman lay sprawled on the ground as the guards ran to pin her down.
"Let me go! I want to kill all of you. You are all heartless lackeys of the Imperial Court! I..." the woman bellowed ferociously.
All of a sudden, her cries came to a stop. The woman found the blade of a sharp sword held close to her forehead. Lin Xiang's face was devoid of any expression. "Ignorant woman! If you shout again, you will die."
Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows and looked at them, amused.
"All of us? There's only me." She scoffed.
She stole a glance at the platoon chief in charge of Zhang Village.
He was standing behind Gan Maosheng with his head hung low, looking like he wanted nothing to do with him.
