Lin Lang waited an entire day, but no killers from Green Robe Tower came. It seemed Green Robe Tower had given up.
This left Lin Lang very disappointed. After all, once this was over, Green Robe Tower would certainly raise the price on his head by a huge margin, making it harder to harvest another crop of suckers.
At dusk, Lin Lang summoned Liu Zhengfeng.
"Have the brothers all work overtime. It's time to earn bonuses again."
Liu Zhengfeng did not particularly care, since he had never lacked money, but the other Jinyiwei brothers were overjoyed.
Every time the Thousand-household led them on a job, they earned a hefty sum. Often, a day or two of work earned them a year's salary. Who would turn that down?
Besides, with the Thousand-household there, there was little danger. They always won through an overwhelming advantage in numbers.
If the other side had an expert, the Thousand-household would handle them. He would never tell his men to go to their deaths.
Liu Zhengfeng, Wang Wu, and Jia Liu each led a squad, while Deputy Thousand-household Sun Xing remained at the Thousand-household Office.
When he saw their destination, Liu Zhengfeng was dumbfounded.
Earlier, Lord Lin had asked him how to contact Green Robe Tower, saying he wanted to place an order. How had he turned around and surrounded Green Robe Tower instead?
Was his lordship not afraid of Green Robe Tower's retaliation?
There were One Hundred and Eight Green Robe Towers. Destroy one, and a hundred and seven remained, not to mention their utterly mysterious Chief Leader. Lord Lin had been far too impulsive.
But he knew he could not persuade him otherwise. He could only follow orders for now and work out a solution with Lord Lin afterward.
