Chapter 265: Justification
"How is this possible?"
The same words, the same disbelief, after listening to the "truth" of the matter, Duan Hanyu, the leader of the Cloud Dragon Gang, fell into deep shock, anger and even doubt.
However, Sun Guangzhi's description of the experience, and the obvious difference in the number of survivors of the reinforcements, made Duan Hanyu have to accept this fact preliminarily.
It's just that the two of them still can't think of the thoughts of Xia Taiping, the leader of the Flying Crane Alliance, for the time being.
Isn't he afraid that after he has dealt with his two families, the Rescuer Guild will suddenly turn around and take down their Flying Crane Alliance with a backhand?
Or does Xia Taiping have any confident means to stabilize the people of Shuxian County, and then monopolize Cloud City?
But no matter what, there is a real problem in front of the two families, that is: how will they face the betrayal of the Feihe Alliance next!
"Straight parting ways?"
Duan Hanyu tried to put forward his own opinion.
Yu Zhe, the leader of the Cyclamen Guild, didn't see it that way, he still had some doubts about this matter, and didn't want to find out so quickly, but said: "Maybe you can pretend not to know, and then continue to observe the actions of the Flying Crane Alliance, and then make a decision." β
"I'm afraid it'll be too late." Duan Hanyu sneered.
At this time, something unexpected happened suddenly, and the person on duty outside knocked on the door and asked, "President, Xia Taiping, the leader of the Flying Crane Alliance, asks to see you!" β
"What is he here for?"
Xia Taiping's appearance at this sensitive time can be described as meaningful. Yu Zhe and Duan Hanyu glanced at each other, and while signaling his subordinates to go out to strengthen their guard, they replied and agreed to the other party's visit.
Soon, Xia Taiping, who was a little anxious but barely kept calm, walked in with two of his subordinates. Seeing that the president of the Cyclamen Guild was also here, Xia Taiping chuckled in his heart, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger.
"That's him, Huang Xiang!"
Seeing Huang Xiang following Xia Taiping, Sun Guangzhi pointed at him and shouted.
"It's you!"
Seeing that Sun Guangzhi was still alive, Huang Xiang and the pastor next to him suddenly looked like they had seen a ghost.
They thought that after the two of them got out, the rest of them should be deadβor at least captured by the Shuxian people.
The two of them are not stupid, seeing that Sun Guangzhi came back alive, and the two presidents had a secret meeting here again, without notifying the Feihe Alliance at all, it is not clear what happened.
This is in trouble!
Seeing the expressions of his subordinates, Xia Taiping also realized something.
After Huang Xiang returned alive and inquired, he learned that the enemy had used the method of sowing discord, and he felt that something was wrong. In line with the idea that it would not be a big deal if the matter was clarified, he took the initiative to find Huang Xiang.
Unexpectedly, the other party already knew!
At this moment, Xia Taiping was both happy and afraid in his heart. If I didn't come to the door at the first time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to clarify this misunderstanding.
"The people of the Flying Crane Alliance, sure enough, are not dead."
Compared with Xia Taiping, after seeing Huang Xiang with his own eyes and confirming Sun Guangzhi's words, Yu Zhe and Duan Hanyu's faces became embarrassed.
"Brother Xia, it's really unseemly. I didn't expect that you could do this kind of thing. Yu Zheyin opened his mouth testimonishmently.
Seeing that Yu Zhe directly made it clear, Xia Taiping sighed and defended: "President Yu wants to say that our Feihe League colluded with the people of Shu County. So I ask you, what benefits do we get by doing that? Obviously, this is just a shoddy sowing discord by the people of Shu County, taking advantage of the distrust between you and me. β
Listening to his clear words, Duan Hanyu's expression softened slightly, but he was still dissatisfied: "Brother Xia, if you can still come in, it already proves our attitude." Give you a chance to explain it yourself, and we can still pretend that this thing didn't happen. β
Lucky!
Seeing the opportunity for the other party to speak by himself, Xia Taiping breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What he is most afraid of is that the other party will meet at all, so there will be really no solution.
"Believe me, this is just a drama directed and acted by the people of Shu County." Xia Tai calmed down and explained, "They are afraid that the three of us will join forces, so they want to try to divide us. I also listened to Huang Xiang's report before I felt that something was wrong and took the initiative to find the door. If we are really colluding with the Guild of the Savior, why should I rush to find you at this time? β
"I will believe what you say. Just ......"
Yu Zhe groaned, his voice still stiff. In his heart, he hoped that the Flying Crane League had not betrayed, but it was also a fact that the Flying Crane Alliance had the least casualties.
Relying on Xia Taiping's words alone, it was difficult for Yu Zhe to convince himself to trust the other party completely.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was a little loose, Xia Taiping was overjoyed and wanted to prove his innocence while the iron was hot. But at this moment, another member of the Cyclamen Guild sent a message and waited outside.
I don't know why, Xia Taiping suddenly felt uneasy.
Soon, he saw Yu Zhe walk in with a blue face.
The leader of the Cyclamen Guild didn't even glance at him, and said directly to Duan Hanyu, the leader of the Cloud Dragon Gang, "The news just came that our vice president Zhang Chaofan was killed outside the mushroom manor. None of the two masters who accompanied him escaped. The man we sent to inform the president's return found this near the battlefield. β
He stretched out his hand and pulled out a small piece of the corner of the armband stained with blood, and sharp knife marks could still be seen at the incision.
To be honest, if it was a complete armband thrown there, and it was clearly written on the Flying Crane Alliance, then Yu Zhe would have to wonder if it was intentionally planted. But the corner of this armband, there are no valuable clues at all, it seems to have fallen off naturally during a hasty evacuation, which made Yu Zhe believe it.
After all, judging from the texture of this armband alone, the murderer could have come from any of the three alliances!
But neither the Cyclamen Guild itself nor the Cloud Dragon Gang had any reason to suddenly make a move against Zhang Chaofan, the vice president of the Cyclamen Guild.
If this is also the Rescuer's Guild's deliberate planting, then the other party's arrangement and calculation are inevitably too amazing, Yu Zhe didn't believe it in his heart.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense.
"Well, we've got a vice-president dead, and the Cyclamen Guild has also died, which is really interesting." Duan Hanyu stared at Xia Taiping and said, "I won't say how Zhang Chaofan's whereabouts were leaked." For the sake of fairness, don't the top leaders of your Flying Crane Alliance also deserve to die? β
"What do you mean by that?"
Xia Taiping's face was extremely embarrassed.
He didn't expect that the energy of the Salvation Guild would be so great. In addition to overturning the frontal battlefield, he still has the spare strength and accurate intelligence to snipe Zhang Chaofan at the same time.
The two sides did it together, which made him very suspicious.
Despite this, Xia Taiping tried his best to defend: "Both of you, your gang has made a lot of sacrifices, I know this. But don't forget, our Flying Crane Alliance also killed a lot of people, okay? β
It's good that he didn't mention it, but when he did, it aroused the anger of the two families.
Yu Zhe sneered and said, "You're right, almost all of our troops have been wiped out on our side, but you have only died in some inconsequential gray iron steps - among them, there are probably some accidental injuries due to too dense standing and helplessness, right?" What a bitter ploy! β
At this point, it's hard to communicate.
Realizing this, Xia Taiping decided to take a step back.
He tried to control his emotions and said in a low voice: "Okay, the two of you are angry, a little irrational, I understand." Believe it or not, our Flying Crane Alliance has been wronged. That's good, I'll come to the door in person to explain in another day, and I hope you two can take advantage of this time to think it through. Don't be hot-headed, fall for the tricks of the Shuxian people, and finally provoke the pain of relatives and the happiness of enemies! β
