Chapter 709: Chapter 291: Infighting in Long Mountain, Li Tiancheng’s Caution
Who would have thought that Li Xuanping and his group of fools would now actually aid Li Xuantiang in attacking me.
Thinking about it, it’s understandable. Li Xuantiang could bring out so many Holy Sun Pills, easily winning over those of Cold Resistance Level in the camp. Even if he doesn’t show his intention to become a leader, these fools could not help but push him to the top.
"Li Xuanping, don’t think you can make baseless accusations. The responsibility for the new army’s defeat, even if someone needs to bear it, it should be Zhou Yuan, Li Yuanqing, and Cheng He. What does it have to do with Leader Guan?"
Seeing Li Xuanling silent for a long time, assuming she was intimidated by Li Xuanping and his men, Jiang Ping stood out. He likely heard something from those new soldiers who escaped and continued to angrily accuse:
"Regarding last night’s army defeat, some returning soldiers have said that four Colonels repeatedly did not follow Zhou Yuan’s orders. Li Yuanqing and Cheng He, while scouting routes, did not follow protocol, went too far, were captured by Great Xia, and failed to report back in time. This ultimately led to the army falling into an ambush. You avoided mentioning any of this and instead placed all the blame on Zhou Yuan. What are your intentions?"
Hearing this accusation, Li Yuankai and Song Ning’s expressions both slightly changed, and they quickly stepped forward to refute:
"Uncle Jiang, who told you this? Let him come over for a confrontation. Yuankai bets his life that no such thing happened."
"Uncle Jiang, if you’re attributing the blame for the army’s ambush to me based on hearsay, that’s hardly fair. I also think that soldier should come here for a face-to-face confrontation to see if it’s true?"
Hearing the two of them ask to bring the soldier for a face-to-face confrontation, Jiang Ping and the others were momentarily stunned, too angry to speak.
To call an Earth-digging Realm soldier here to confront them, let alone whether he dares, even if he dared, Jiang Ping wouldn’t play the villain.
"What is it, can’t bring him here, or are you saying that all those words just now were Uncle Jiang’s fabrications used to frame me and Song Ning?"
"Jiang Ping, making baseless claims without evidence, even if you want to help Zhou Yuan, this isn’t the way to do it, huh!"
"Indeed, Zhou Yuan is already captured, and there’s no..."
Li Xuanping couldn’t help but sneer again, but just as he was about to continue, an old voice from outside interrupted him.
"With the enemy before us, why are you still arguing here?"
Li Tiancheng has arrived!
Everyone in the hall immediately fell silent. Li Xuanling, sitting at the head, who felt utterly exhausted, finally showed a bit of relief.
"Father, Xuanling cannot be this..."
Li Xuanping spoke again, but just as before, Li Tiancheng interrupted him before he could finish.
Slap!
Moreover, he used a slap.
Li Tiancheng stared at his eldest son with a disappointed expression, and finally, he could only sigh and turn to everyone, "With external threats upon us, are you intent on handing over the fifty-year legacy of Long Mountain to others?
I don’t care what you’re thinking now, just shut your mouths. The most important thing right now is to drive Great Xia out of Longyou and restore the prestige of our Long Mountain.
I’ve seen that Xia City at Redwood Ridge with my own eyes. That Xia Hong is no ordinary person, and Great Xia’s overall strength far exceeds your imagination.
Everyone, listen to me carefully. Whether you belong to the Li Family or are an outsider, if Long Mountain loses this time, all your current power struggles will be nothing but a joke. Do you understand?"
Li Tiancheng’s final question was forceful and resounded in everyone’s ears.
Everyone’s faces changed, looking up at the seriousness and solemnity on Li Tiancheng’s face, and they all felt a jolt in their hearts.
To be honest, even though everyone was arguing fiercely just now, they hadn’t taken Great Xia seriously. They knew their own strength. Although Great Xia destroyed the new army and Blood Guard Army, in the end, it was just a thousand-man army, and they must have suffered considerable losses in the two battles last night.
Long Mountain still has three thousand Longyou Army!
The reason everyone dared to argue here, even daring to point the blame at Li Xuanling, was based on the premise of never taking Great Xia seriously.
The consensus was that when night falls, the army would set off to Wushuang, destroy Great Xia, a view shared by everyone present, possibly including Li Tiancheng, who arrived at Songyuan last night.
But what did Li Tiancheng just say?
"The most important thing right now is to drive Great Xia out of Longyou."
Driving out and destroying are two completely different matters.
Xia City?
What did Li Tiancheng see at Redwood Ridge to make him so cautious?
