King Lin read the letter, laughed out loud, and immediately crushed it into powder. He declared to the crowd, "Normally it's only us brothers who take hostages, but now the tables have turned."
"The chief is right, we of Black Wind Village should not succumb to threats. Though I am not talented, I am willing to lead our men to rescue Brother Niu Peng."
Niu Peng, known as Brother Niu Peng, ranks fifth in Black Wind Village.
King Lin waved his hand, signaling the speaking leader to quiet down, and sighed, "We can't ignore our own brothers. Let's not talk about rescues. How easy is it to storm into the Government Prison? I already know what the other party wants, mere external possessions, just give it to them."
He wasn't foolish to attack the heavily guarded Government Prison, that would escalate the situation completely, as if the Officials had no dignity left?
Since the other party is interested in a deal, then let's deal.
