Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 140 The Power Behind
Bang!
Xiao Yan stood up suddenly and walked towards the door. Xiao Li quickly stood up and blocked him in panic.

"Xiao Yanzi! Calm down!"

"Calm down? How can I be calm?!" Xiao Yan had a sullen face and growled from the side: "Sister is now alone in the territory of the Snake Tribe with her life and death uncertain. What if something happens?"

As Xiao Yan said this, he gradually calmed down as Xiao Li said. His hand stayed on the door handle for a long time, and finally he took it back, covering half of his face to suppress his restless heart.

calm down
The second sister was right. They couldn't be impatient in this situation. They didn't know what was going on with the Snake Tribe. Rushing over might make things worse and irreversible.

But sister
Xiao Yan tensed his body, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were full of confusion.

After Xiao Yan's mother passed away when he was young, Xiao Ling and Xiao Li, as sisters, took great care of him as younger brother. Xiao Yan has always remembered these things deeply in his heart.

Especially Xiao Ling, whose status in Xiao Yan's heart is equal to that of his mother.

If something really happened to Xiao Ling, then Xiao Yan really couldn't guarantee what he would be able to do.

At this time, Yao Shen in the ring also spoke to comfort him.

(Xiao Yanzi, calm down your thoughts. If this matter is really serious and irreconcilable, then the Snake Tribe will probably not ask your eldest sister to come over. Since they have called her over, it proves that some things can still be passed. It was settled through discussion.)
"call"

Hearing what Yao Shen said, Xiao Yan finally suppressed his impulsive desires, returned to the sofa and sat down, staring at Xiao Li closely and asking.

"Second sister, do you think this matter is serious?"

"It's hard to say." Xiao Li frowned and replied slowly: "Logically speaking, the Snake Tribe should not associate the humans who attacked the Snake Tribe with us, but the key point of the problem now is The reason is that the Snake Tribe did suffer heavy casualties due to the attack, but we still don’t know where the group of humans who attacked the Snake Tribe came from.”

"Why are they doing this? What is their purpose in doing this?"

"If this matter is not resolved, this difficulty will not be overcome."

Xiao Yan pinched his chin gently, lowered his head and thought, then raised his head after a while and asked.

"Second sister, is it possible that some people in the mercenary group led people to attack the Snake Tribe tribe privately?"

"No way!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's inquiry, Xiao Li shook his head and denied it without thinking.

"The people who are still in the mercenary group are die-hard fans of me and my eldest sister. They will absolutely obey our orders and there is no way they would do such a thing privately." Xiao Li saw what else Xiao Yan wanted to say, Then he added: "Of course, my eldest sister and I did not believe the group members without any basis. As soon as the incident happened, we investigated what each member was doing at the time of the incident. The final investigation result was that everyone was fine. , let alone leaving Mocheng during that time, they didn’t even leave their posts.”

"We have also investigated the slave merchants, and there is a lot of evidence to prove that it is indeed not them."

Hearing Xiao Li's confident words, Xiao Yan frowned tightly, and the young lady who was chewing an apple on the side raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It's not you, nor a slave trader, so there is only one possibility." Xiao Zhengtai took a bite of the apple and said calmly: "Maybe some external forces did these things for some reasons." " But why?" Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Zhengtai in confusion, "I can understand the local forces as reasons such as interests or hatred. Those external forces should have no reason to do this, right?"

"Huh? How could there be no reason?" Xiao Zhengtai grinned and continued: "I said before that the snake people can sell for 50 to , but you have to understand that this is the price after the price is clearly marked."

"And if these snake people are sold through auction, the money earned may more than double."

Xiao Zhengtai threw the apple core into the trash can, curled his lips and said.

"The slave merchants are restricted by the Motie Mercenary Group, and the business of the auction houses that accept the snake people will inevitably be damaged, but it will only be in the short term. If these people find that there are no slave traders selling snake people to them for a long time. , someone will definitely be sent to investigate what the cause is."

"And when they discovered that the snake-people trade was strictly prohibited by the Motie Mercenary Group, in order not to alarm the Jiama royal family, and in order not to expose themselves, they could not take too straightforward measures. In this case, the situation intensified again. The conflict between the snake people and humans is their only resort."

"After all, in the final analysis, whether humans can peacefully coexist with the snake people is the will of both parties. As long as one party has extreme distrust of the other, then this peaceful coexistence will be nothing more than a dream."

After listening to Xiao Zhengtai's words, Xiao Li also lowered his head and started thinking.

"That's right. We only paid attention to slave merchants before, but we didn't expect that the buyers behind them might also do these things."

Xiao Li murmured like this, but Xiao Zhengtai gently shook his hand.

"Otherwise, how can we say that you are the commander of the second regiment? Xiao Ling should have noticed these things a long time ago. It's just that you, a small mercenary group stationed in the desert, want to investigate those big people who manipulate the snake trade. Buyer? Are you dreaming?"

Looking at Xiao Li who was choking, Xiao Zhengtai continued.

"It is precisely because Xiao Ling knows that with the current power of the Motie Mercenary Group, it is impossible to find out the buyer behind it, so Xiao Ling went to the Snake Tribe territory alone."

"She knows very well that the trust established with the Snake People in the past six months is based on the efforts of the Motie Mercenary Group. If even the Motie Mercenary Group does one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, then the Snake People will definitely not do it again. Trust any human being.”

"Therefore, without finding the mastermind behind the scenes, Xiao Ling's first goal is to personally go to the Snake Tribe territory to maintain the trust between the two parties. Once this trust collapses, it will be impossible to re-establish it. No matter what is happening behind the scenes, When the culprit is found out, this trust must be maintained."

Xiao Zhengtai's words silenced both Xiao Yan and Xiao Li.

His words went around and around, but finally he pointed out a central idea.

That is, unless the masterminds behind the attack on the Snake Tribe are found out, these matters cannot be resolved.

"Captain Xiao Li." Qing Lin came in with a tea tray, looked at Xiao Li and said, "There is someone outside the mercenary group who wants to meet the person in charge here."

"Ok?"

Xiao Li raised her eyebrows slightly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes.

Who is looking for her at this time?
