Master Sun never dreamed that Tusi Adu could not even keep him alive.
In fact, Master Sun usually relies on his brain to make a living. He also knows that such things must be known, and the fewer people the better. However, he has been assisting this guy since Tusi Adu was still a child.
According to his thinking, even if he killed all the people, Adu Tusi would never attack him. He usually respected him very much, but now there was no time for him to think about anything else. His vitality was almost coming to an end.
"Master Sun, please don't blame me. This is for the future of my entire family. If this matter gets out, I'm afraid my entire family will be executed. Compared to the lives of my entire family, please go in peace. I will treat your family well."
When Tusi Adu walked to the door, the corner of his mouth twitched. He had no choice but to do this. The lives of hundreds of people in his family were at stake, so he had to be careful and cautious.
Such a large-scale killing incident occurred while the Longchuan Tusi was watching the battle. The Tusi and the people on the mountain were dumbfounded. No one dared to believe that such a thing would happen, especially with so many Tang troops watching covetously from the bottom of the mountain. You actually had such a large-scale internal conflict on the mountain...
With both sons dead, the Longchuan Tusi had essentially no scruples left to act. He hadn't always considered his descendants, but would he still consider them now? With both heirs dead, and even General Ronggong's entire family slaughtered in an effort to find the murderer, how could he even care about anyone else?
So the whole mountain was plunged into an atmosphere of terror, and the major chieftains returned to their own strongholds as quickly as possible. They did not dare to stay in the mountain station of Longchuan chieftain. Originally, it was the most easily defended and difficult to attack place in the whole mountain, but now any reason could be used to link them with the affairs between them and the two young masters. If it really came to that, Longchuan chieftain would definitely start a massacre.
The people at the foot of the mountain also received the information from above very quickly. When Li Xiang saw the information, he could hardly believe his eyes. This was completely different from what he had predicted before. It cannot be said that there was chaos on the mountain now, but it would be extremely difficult to take it back peacefully.
The biggest variable is that the second young master is dead. According to Li Xiang's original strategy, two chieftains will be retained in the future. One is Chieftain Adu, and the other is Zhang Jiuli's second son-in-law Mengchuan. These two people will check and balance each other, and the mountain can still be controlled.
"This matter is really a bit strange. We planned everything perfectly, except for Meng Chuan's death. Moreover, with your guards around him, his safety should not be a problem. Even in such a chaotic army, your men should be able to save his life. Who did this?"
Qin Huaiyu said with some surprise. He knew the fighting ability of Li Xiang's men. It was possible for those men to save one person's life among thousands of soldiers, but now that the person was dead, there must be some clues that we didn't know.
"The person who did it is probably someone we have never thought of, or even someone we have never seen before. We have considered everyone, but there are only a few people we have not considered. The murderer is very likely among them. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone in the chaotic army did it, such as some of the eldest son's former disciples. After the eldest son's death, they had no future, so it is possible that they did such a thing in desperation."
Xiao Yu also felt a little strange. Although he had not dealt with Li Xiang for a long time, he knew that Li Xiang's plan was impeccable. It was just a few chieftains on the mountain. If they could see through Li Xiang's plan, then Li Xiang would not have been able to continue his victory for so many times and would have been defeated long ago.
Li Xiang was a man from modern times. The people present had never heard of a saying in modern society, but Li Xiang was very clear about this saying, which was that whoever gained the greatest benefit was likely to be the murderer. This theorem would never be wrong, unless someone else framed him, but the cost of framing such a person was still very high.
The people below were talking about it, sometimes saying it was this person, sometimes saying it was that person, but none of their opinions had any basis at all. When everyone saw Li Xiang in deep thought, they all shut their mouths. They had followed Li Xiang for quite some time, so they naturally knew that Li Xiang's brain was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Especially when it came to such a strange and tricky case, Li Xiang was able to give others some different opinions.
"Your Highness, have you thought of anything?"
Half an incense stick of time had passed, and no one present had come to a conclusion in the discussion, so now they wanted to see what Li Xiang was thinking. Xiao Yu was the most senior among these people, and others did not dare to disturb Li Xiang's thoughts, but Xiao Yu had the qualifications.
"You haven't spoken yet. Why don't you speak up? After all, you know the mountain best. They've all expressed their opinions, but no one has a firm basis. I want to hear your thoughts on this matter."
Li Xiang did not answer Xiao Yu's question, but turned to look at Zhang Jiuli. This guy had not said a word from the beginning until now, and had been listening carefully to other people's analysis. When Li Xiang looked up, he saw this guy frowning, which meant that this guy also had some ideas in his mind.
After listening to Li Xiang's words, everyone noticed Zhang Jiuli next to him. If we talk about who knows the most about the above, this guy must be ranked first. We were too worried just now and should have listened to this guy's opinions first. After all, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Normally, we have memorized the military books very well, but we are not so calm when the time comes.
They also began to admire Li Xiang's thinking. He was able to remain calm at such a moment. This was indeed what a superior needed. No wonder the gap between us and others was so big. We have already lost based on this point.
Zhang Jiuli didn't want to say anything. After all, everything was just speculation. These people were all old people around Li Xiang. It would be fine if they guessed wrong. But he was a novice. If he guessed wrong, it would affect Li Xiang's thinking...
