Chapter 749 - 369: Suspicion and Conspiracy
Upon hearing Yun Zhu’s report, Xiao Lingqiu’s expression remained unchanged as she spoke calmly:
"This is a crucial battleground that no military leader would abandon, especially at such a critical juncture. You may choose to cooperate with Lei Tian, but he could equally choose to ally with Scorpion.
The saying goes, ’Two tigers cannot share one mountain.’ Both Lei Tian and Scorpion are mortal enemies, pure and simple, each wanting nothing more than to eliminate the other. Neither would stand by while the other grows stronger.
Given such an opportunity, it’s only natural they won’t let it slip away.
When Wanyan Tianyou seizes this land and Scorpion eliminates Lei Tian to become the ruler of the desert bandits in the Tongqiu region, both will achieve their goals. Cooperation between them will occur naturally."
"Then what should we do?"
Yun Zhu was so anxious she was nearly in tears.
Liao Feihu turned to look at Xiao Lingqiu. At this moment, he had already realized the extraordinary nature of this woman and said sincerely, "Ms. Jiang, do you have a strategy?"
Xiao Lingqiu raised her elegant chin, speaking slowly:
"Wanyan Tianyou is vying with the Fifth Prince for other territories and is unlikely to send his main forces or a large army here. Therefore, their troop strength won’t be significant, and their primary objective is to assist Scorpion in the raids.
