Chapter 140 The Power Behind the Scenes

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 gloomy 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 doorknob 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. (discussed and resolved)

"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 thing is, the Snake Tribe did suffer heavy casualties as a result of 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 gently pinched his chin, 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?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

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 cannot 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. We immediately investigated what each group member was doing when the incident occurred. 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 traders, 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 100,000 to 500,000, 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 is the reason.”

"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 Jing knew that with the current power of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, it was impossible to find out the buyer behind the scenes, so Xiao Jing went to the Snake Tribe's territory alone."

"She knew very well that the trust established with the Snake Tribe in the past six months was based on the efforts of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. If even the Desert Iron Mercenary Group was one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, the Snake Tribe would definitely not trust any human again."

"Therefore, in the case of not being able to find the mastermind behind the scenes, Xiao Jing's primary goal is to go to the Snake Tribe's territory in person to maintain the trust between the two sides. Once this trust collapses, it will be a long way to go to build it again. No matter when the mastermind behind the scenes is found, this trust must be maintained."

The words of the little boy made Xiao Yan and Xiao Li silent.

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

That is, if the masterminds behind the attack on the Snake Tribe are not found, these things cannot be solved.

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

"Hmm?"

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

Who is looking for her at this time?
