How did Zhou Shiji die? How could the Zhou Clan soldiers not know about this? Everyone in the entire Barrier Alliance knew how he died. Wasn't it the owner of the armor who killed him?
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "It seems that you know who I am."
This time, taking the refugees away would definitely cause a big commotion. Moreover, he would have to go back and forth many times. Ren Xiaosu felt that it was necessary for him to reach some sort of tacit understanding with the new master of the Zhou Clan.
If they couldn't reach a tacit understanding, they would have to fight.
It was not that Ren Xiaosu deliberately wanted to be so high-profile, but that he was very clear about the current situation. What were these refugees to the Zhou Clan? Usually, they were people and labor. But now, they were a ticking time bomb with hidden security risks.
Therefore, the Wang Clan did not want to see these refugees prosper in the Northwest, but the Zhou Clan could not wait for a batch of refugees to leave.
Under such circumstances, the appearance of Ren Xiaosu and Big Bluff was simply helping the Zhou Clan solve their problem!
On the surface, the Zhou Clan would definitely not admit that Ren Xiaosu was helping them, but they would definitely feel relieved in private.
Therefore, they would not fight to the death with Ren Xiaosu at all.
As for the old grudge between the Young Marshal of the Northwest and the Zhou Clan, it was actually long over.
At the beginning when Zhou Shiji was assassinated by Ren Xiaosu, the spokesperson of the Zhou Clan often said that they would fight back against this kind of behavior in the Northwest. But later on, there was no more movement. This was because the Zhou Clan, which Zhou Shiji had been suppressing, had risen to power.
Just now, when the soldiers of the garrison mentioned Zhou Shiji and Zhou Shoushi, they all directly addressed them as "old things", showing no respect at all.
This kind of thing was always followed by the subordinates. The subordinates would show the same attitude the superiors had.
Now, they wanted the new master of the Zhou Clan to avenge Zhou Shiji and then fight to the death with the Northwest? They were not willing.
Moreover, the most critical problem was that Ren Xiaosu's ability to take the head of the enemy's general in the midst of tens of thousands of troops was too terrifying. Now, no matter who the new master of the Zhou Clan provoked, he would never provoke Ren Xiaosu for no reason.
Otherwise, before his buttocks could warm up the throne of the Zhou Clan, who knows which bastard would benefit from it.
At that moment, the garrison troops by the campfire looked at Ren Xiaosu's armor. They did not know what Ren Xiaosu looked like, but the armor was too recognizable. So everyone pulled the bolt of their guns and retreated more than ten steps back. However, none of them dared to shoot!
Ren Xiaosu said, "I'm here to help the Zhou Clan this time. Don't you have a headache with these refugees? I'll bring a batch of them to the Northwest. In this way, they won't starve to death, and you don't have to worry about these hidden dangers. Isn't it a win-win situation? I don't think you can make the decision on this matter, so you'd better report the situation to your boss. "
The garrison officer's expression was uncertain. He motioned for the soldiers around him to hurry back and report the matter to their superiors.
Soon, the new master of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Qing Yang, received a call and learned that Ren Xiaosu was going to take a group of refugees away. His subordinates asked him how they should handle it.
He thought for a long time before replying, "The Northwest is willing to lend a helping hand when the Zhou Clan is in danger. Please express my gratitude to him on my behalf …"
This guy was also a coward. Otherwise, he would not have been suppressed by Zhou Shiji for so many years. It could be said that after Zhou Shiji died, there was really no one in the Zhou Clan who could really carry the banner of the Zhou Clan.
After Zhou Qing Yang hung up, the secretary in the official residence thought for a while and said, "Sir, although the refugees are a burden to us now, when it comes to revitalizing the Zhou Clan, the population is the cornerstone. If we just let them take the refugees away like this, wouldn't we be too easy on them? The food from the South is being shipped over, so these refugees might not all starve to death. "
Zhou Qing Yang's expression darkened. "Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
No matter how stupid Zhou Qing Yang was, he could still understand what the secretary was saying. But the other party was Ren Xiaosu. It had only been seven days since Zhou Shiji died, so how could he let the other party attack them again?
What else could he do? He was also in despair!
In fact, with the strength of the Zhou Clan Consortium, they might not necessarily be afraid of a supernatural being. However, the Zhou Clan was really afraid of being killed.
Moreover, Ren Xiaosu was not a lone wolf. The destructive power of those dozen or so Knights was also extremely astonishing.
Zhou Qing Yang eased his tone and said, "Right now, our enemy is the Wang Clan, so let's not make a strong enemy like the Northwest anymore. You have to understand that no matter how important the population is, it'll only be useful if we get through this. Just let Ren Xiaosu take the refugees away. There's only two of them, so how many refugees can they take away?!"
The secretary thought about it and agreed. There were only two of them, so how many refugees could they take away?
Thinking of this, the secretary felt relieved. However, Zhou Qing Yang continued, "Besides, won't they have to pass through the Wang Clan before taking the refugees away? How could the Wang Clan allow them to pass through so openly? That fellow, Wang Shengzhi, will definitely think of a way to stop them. If that's the case, wouldn't the Northwest and the Wang Clan become enemies?"
The secretary smiled. "So Boss has thought things through so thoroughly. I was shortsighted."
When Zhou Qing Yang saw the secretary's humble expression, he felt much better.
At this moment, the phone in the official residence rang again. Zhou Qing Yang answered it right away. "How's it going?"
"Sir, Ren Xiaosu has left with the refugees," someone said on the other end of the line.
"Mhm, how many people did he take with him?" Zhou Qing Yang said with a smile, "A few dozen? A few hundred? "
"6,000! Boss, they took away 6,000 people! "
Zhou Qing Yang was speechless.
Zhou Qing Yang was shocked. Were these people professional human traffickers or what? How could they take away so many refugees at once?
"How did they leave?" Zhou Qing Yang asked.
"Ren Xiaosu shouted, 'Wang Congyang, here comes the train.' In the end, a steam locomotive appeared out of thin air." The person on the other end of the line said, "That steam locomotive did not head in the direction of the Wang Clan. Instead, it headed straight for the wilderness."
"The refugees left with him just like that?" Zhou Qing Yang gulped and asked.
The person on the other end of the line said, "After the refugees learned of his identity as the Young Marshal of the Northwest, they all wanted to leave with him. If it weren't for the fact that his train couldn't fit them all, I'm afraid he could have taken all of them with him."
If he were to take all of them with him, that would be tens of thousands of people.
The news of the Young Marshal of the Northwest avenging Jiang Xu had already spread far and wide. Many people admired Ren Xiaosu from the bottom of their hearts, so the refugees no longer had any doubts.
Previously, they were worried that they would be abducted and sold. But now, they were worried that they would be too slow to get on the train.
Zhou Qing Yang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "We have hundreds of thousands of refugees here, so it wouldn't be a problem to take away 6,000 people. It's just 6,000 people, after all. It's not a big deal."
The secretary nodded. It was true that 6,000 people would not affect the overall situation. Instead, it would lighten the burden on the Zhou Clan.
At this moment, Zhou Qing Yang asked, "Did he say anything else before he left?"
"Yes." The person on the other end of the line said, "He said he would come back in two days …"
