Chapter 6254
6254 The guards who were transferred away
Elder Vermilion Bird, youve always been in charge of the palaces defense. How serious is the a.s.sa.s.sination of two respected elders of the outer clan? I wonder if youve already grasped the a.s.sa.s.sins tracks? The White Tiger laughed and looked at the Vermilion Bird with a neutral expression.
It was such a rare opportunity. No matter where the a.s.sa.s.sins came from, they had to determine the Vermilion birds responsibility first. Perhaps after today, The White Tiger would be able to divide more of the palaces Defense Forces.
Elder White Tiger, you must be joking. Weve been together for a long time. Dont you know if weve made any progress? The Vermilion Bird raised an eyebrow and coldly glanced at The White Tiger.
Elder Lin, can you tell us what happened in detail? we might be able to find some clues from it. Green Dragon didnt want to get involved, so he turned to Lin Yi.
This was a necessary procedure, and Lin Yi had no reason to refuse. He told them everything in detail, but he didnt tell them what moves he used and what cards he had.
You said that before you entered the restriction, there were no guards on this road? Green Dragon asked with a frown after Lin Yi finished.
Thats right. When we came here, there were guards on that road. But when we came back, they were no longer there. Elder Green Dragon, do you know who is able to mobilize these guards? Lin Yi smiled faintly. This was probably a rushed arrangement, and there would be a lot of flaws. The question he asked was one of them.
The palace was an important place, and if one wanted to mobilize the guards at will, there would definitely be traces. As long as they followed this line, they might be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
Elder Lin, do you suspect that the a.s.sa.s.sins were arranged by insiders? Qinglong didnt seem surprised at all. It was a thought that anyone with eyes would have, and it wasnt a problem for Lin Yi to suggest it.
Elder Lin, you may not know this, but the guards of the palace are led by Vermillion Bird elder and Azure Dragon elders Deputy. Both of them have the power to mobilize all the guards of the palace. In addition, only the leaders can command the guards under them. If you have any doubts, you can only suspect the leader of this area, because elder Vermillion Bird and elder Azure Dragon have been discussing things with us. The White Tiger laughed. On the surface, it seemed like he was trying to absolve the Vermilion Bird duo, but in reality, he was pointing his finger at the two elders.
The Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragon had no intention of explaining at all. The Azure Dragon turned around and beckoned a guard over. After asking a few questions in a low voice, he waved his hand to dismiss the guard.
Elder Lin, what The White Tiger elder said is basically true. Ive asked around and found out that the guards on duty at the road where the incident happened today are all elites from The White Tiger elders branch. To be honest, if we want to command these elites, the orders of the Vermillion Bird elder and I are probably not as effective as The White Tiger elders words. The Green dragons mouth curved up. He almost pointed at The White Tigers nose and said that it was him who arranged all this!
White Tigers face turned ugly. In order to prevent the Vermilion Bird and the Black Tortoise from taking control of the palace, he and the Black Tortoise had arranged for many of their descendants and subordinates to guard the palace. These people would definitely not follow the Vermilion Bird and the Azure Dragons orders, especially in a situation where there was a conflict with The White Tiger and the Black Tortoises orders. They would definitely choose to obey The White Tiger and the Black Tortoises orders.
On this point, the Azure Dragon was very pertinent and did not exaggerate the facts at all. The problem was that in this way, The White Tiger would be the one who arranged the a.s.sa.s.sins. If the matter were to be blown up, his power among the palace guards might be uprooted.
Azure Dragon, dont divert your attention! You want to say that I sent the a.s.sa.s.sins? Why dont you tell me what benefits Ill get from doing this? Previously, elder Lin and elder Zheng were on the same side as me at the elders meeting. Would I be so foolish to do such a thing that would make my family feel pain while my enemy is happy? Dont joke around! The White Tiger sneered. He avoided the point that the guard was from The White Tiger branch and instead used the situation at the elders meeting to talk about the matter.
White Tiger is right. Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, you two have a better motive for killing the two outer clan elders, right? After all, elder Lin and elder Zheng are full of righteousness and insisted on their stand. They fearlessly raised objections against your opinions, so you want to take revenge, right? It was rare for the Black Tortoise to speak, but the moment it opened its mouth, it hit the nail on the head.
Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon werent happy with Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng, and everyone in the meeting saw it. Everyones eyes were clear-to be honest, Lin Yi was seventy to eighty percent sure that the a.s.sa.s.sin was sent by Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon, and Zheng Dongsheng never suspected anyone. Who else could it be other than Vermillion Bird and Azure Dragon?
If you want to punish someone, you cant say it without thinking. You all thought that I would attack them, and then I attacked brainlessly? Do you think Im an idiot? The Vermilion birds eyes were filled with contempt as she coldly swept her gaze across the crowd.Do you think I need to send a.s.sa.s.sins to deal with these two ants? If I want to kill them, I can do it with a flip of my hand. Do you have any objections? Who dares to stop me?
It was a domineering statement, but Lin Yi and the others were speechless!
Vermilion Bird was right. If he wanted to kill Lin Yi and Zheng Dongsheng, no matter how big the connections were, no matter how much profit there was, he could kill them if he wanted to. Who could stop him?
The king of spirit beasts? Or The White Tiger and black Tortoise?
This was the South Region. Among the spirit beasts, the Vermilion birds strength was undeniably the strongest. If he wanted to kill two humans, no one could stop him. No one could settle the score with him after the matter. All conspiracies and tricks were like floating clouds in the face of absolute strength!
At this moment, Lin Yi really thought that the a.s.sa.s.sin had nothing to do with the Vermillion Bird. It was just as the Vermillion Bird had said-he wouldnt be so stupid as to leave such an obvious flaw. Rather than leaving a flaw, hed rather kill the two of them. Who could do anything to him, the Vermillion Bird?
Trying to cover up will only make things worse! The White Tiger was silent for a moment, then snorted and muttered in a low voice, but he really couldnt find a reb.u.t.tal.
Zheng Dongsheng hid beside Lin Yi and thought about it carefully. At first, he was sure that it was the Vermillion Bird, but now he felt that White Tiger was also very suspicious. Perhaps White Tiger wanted to use Lin Yi and him as chess pieces to frame the Vermillion Bird and gain benefits from the political battle.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that the elite disciples of The White Tiger branch were guarding the previous area was enough to arouse suspicion.
Where are the guards who were transferred away? Well know whats going on if we call them over and ask them. The Black Tortoise felt that if he continued to speak like this, it would not affect the Vermilion Bird and would instead trap The White Tiger. Therefore, he simply turned his attention to the guards who had left their posts.
