In the woodshed, under the pile of firewood that was pushed down, there was a tunnel that went straight to the bottom;

In the wing room on the other end, a wooden frame was moved away, and a secret door hidden behind it was completely exposed to everyone.

These two secret passages are actually not long, and the exit is in an inconspicuous woods not far from the yard. But this is enough. When someone appeared there through the secret passage, everyone had figured out a truth: the perpetrator must be a person who knows every building in the fortress, so he can enter the yard so quietly and assassinate several people easily.

In everyone's opinion, the only one who conforms to this inference was the owner of the Long Family Castle and the people of the main sect waited. In an instant, countless pairs of suspicious eyes fell on Long Sihai and others. This time they really no longer took the prestige of the patriarch seriously, and they only had fear and anger in their hearts.

Finally, someone couldn't help but shout, "Class Chief, what do you mean? If you don't want to give up your throne, we will naturally obey the orders. Even if you want to protect the people of your sect as the throne, you can say it directly, why should you be so sinister and cruel and want to kill all of us?"

"I have never had this intention. It's just someone who took the opportunity to cause trouble, but someone..." Long Sihai was really panicked and quickly explained, but what he said was a little pale and powerless at this time. After all, facts are better than words, and all the evidence is already in front of everyone.

Long Tianbiao even took the opportunity to shout: "Class leader, then you say, who else can do everything so easily in the castle now except for you, and who else can clearly know the existence of these secret passages?"

"Even I don't know that there is such authenticity here and there, and this... this is all the arrangements made by Tianxiang on weekdays. Tianxiang, let me give you an explanation. If you can't satisfy everyone, I can't protect you in a private manner." At this time, Long Sihai no longer cared about the father-son relationship, and immediately pushed his son Long Tianxiang out to take the blame.

The main sect was stunned now. Although Long Tianxiang was not the sect leader recommended by this sect like Long Tianyao, the main sect had high hopes and wanted to continue to occupy the backbone of the clan, his background and the hard work he made in the past were enough to make many people feel more fond of him. It was really unacceptable to push him out and sacrifice him at this time.

Only a very small number of guys who were so calm that they were almost cold and could understand the painstaking efforts of the patriarch. Now, in order to calm down, he could only push such an important person to bear the blame. Apart from him, only Long Sihai and Long Tianyao took responsibility to calm everyone's doubts, but this was obviously even more unacceptable.

Long Tianxiang was stunned at this time, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept rolling down his fat face, and his body trembled slightly, and he said in his mouth: "Dad, everyone, I...I..."

Long Tianbiao seized the opportunity and shouted: "Do you still want to argue? Since you are responsible for building these courtyards, and we are also arranging each to move in, naturally everything is within your control. Isn't it easy for you to kill someone?"

Long Tianhao on the other side saw that his friend in his clan was questioned so much, so he quickly spoke to him: "That's not what he said. Tianxiang has always been kind-hearted, how could he do such a thing? And everyone knows that all this is related to him. Will he be stupid enough to do this and put himself in everyone's doubts?"

"That's not sure, maybe he just caught your thoughts? Also, maybe he did this because he was ordered to do so!" Long Tianbiao said, and then pointed his finger at Long Sihai, which also attracted others to turn their doubtful eyes on him again.

Seeing this, Long Tianyao quickly denied: "There is no such thing. Although Dad and I want to seize the position of patriarch, they have never had any intention of being unfavorable to your sects. Because killing you will not solve the problem at all, it will only cause hatred to the various sects within my Long family. This is what we least want to see."

When Li Ling heard this, his heart suddenly moved. Yes, Long Tiande's death seemed to have won a competitor for this battle for the position of patriarch, but in fact, this did not solve the problem at all, but would only make things more and more chaotic.

Death of a dragon and Tiande will not hurt the foundations of the two sects at all. It will only make them unite against the enemy, turning this election of the clan leader into a murder within the Long family!

Li Ling had already made this idea, but his subordinates were not able to use enough personnel, so he finally gave up his thoughts. But now... Could it be that Mo Li has disappeared? The force behind him has finally decided to surface, so he took action?

But how did they do this?

The Long Family Castle has a tighter defense than the outer city. The people here are all from the Long Family. Even if they are as powerful as the Skynet Mo Li, they would not be able to arrange their subordinates here early, right? If he could really do it, he would not have been so down and tragic in recent years.

But apart from this, people really can't think of a better answer. Li Ling thought for a long time but still had no definite answer. After all, the investigation of the case is not his strength. Now there are few clues, how can he easily find out the real culprit of this matter?

It was even more impossible for others to pay attention to this. Long Tianbiao hummed again: "Anyway, in my opinion, all this has nothing to do with the main sect. Since that is the case, we can't stay here for a long time. Let's go!" As he said that, he took his several of his followers and turned to leave.

When Long Sihai saw it, he felt even more impatient. As soon as this man was leaving, he couldn't tell the truth. But before he could make up his mind to stop the people from the four sects, the other leaders of the villages on the side also shouted: "We have to leave here too, otherwise no one would know what the outcome would be..."

Even Long Tianhao did not speak for his friends this time, and immediately nodded to Li Ling and the others: "Let's leave here first, no, go out of the city first..." Only by returning to his own army can we ensure true safety. Moreover, he suddenly thought of something that might be an excellent opportunity to completely disrupt the situation in the city and then let those barbarians help him seize the position of patriarch.

At this time, Long Sihai's prestige as the patriarch was gone. With the continuous shouting, everyone turned around and left the yard and headed straight to the fort gate along the street. The people of the main sect wanted to stop him, but they did not dare. Everyone looked at the father and son with their requests for instructions. But whether it was Long Sihai or Long Tianyao, they looked confused at this time, and obviously they could not make up their minds.

Finally, Long Sihai's eyes fell on Long Tianxiang, who was still stunned: "Tianxiang..."

Long Tianxiang was shocked suddenly, then he looked up and looked at his father with a cowardly, and soon his eyes dropped: "Ah... Dad..."

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to send more people to prevent any trouble? How could it make things so out of control? If you can't solve the problem successfully this time, you don't have to stay at home." Long Sihai's words were extremely cold and ruthless, which made Long Tianxiang's face paler, but he couldn't do it for a while, and it looked really pitiful.

But neither Long Tianyao nor other people from the Long Family Leader Sect had the intention to stand up and speak and plead for Long Tianxiang, because they were all used to it, used to Long Sihai's harshness towards this son, and also used to Long Tianxiang's helplessness and such humble and helpless reactions at the moment.

After seeing him like this, Long Sihai became even more angry and suddenly reached out and slapped Long Tianxiang hard: "Aren't you going to get things done?"

Long Tianxiang, who was beaten up, woke up and quickly lowered his head and agreed, and then left in a hurry. At this time, Long Sihai hummed again: "Baste, I'm a hero for a lifetime, why did I give birth to such a trash? People are useless. There is not even a beggar that my descendants of the Long family should have. They are a full trash!"

"Dad, Tianxiang has always been like this. Don't be angry. The most important thing now is to calm everyone's hearts. When they go out, I'm afraid that things will be difficult this year." Long Tianyao said casually, and turned the topic back to the current difficulties.

"Then just wait for next year. Although I am old, it will not be a problem to hold on for a year or two. Next, it depends on how you grasp it. While the two sects have no leader, all you have to do is to win their support." Speaking of this, the old man suddenly smiled, "It seems that this may not be a bad thing, at least it will give us a little more confidence. Let's go out here and soothe people's hearts first..."

As soon as he finished speaking, waves of killing sounds swept from afar like waves, which were a little blurry at first, but in a blink of an eye, the killing sounds rumbled closer, as if soldiers and horses were rushing into the outside of the city and rushed towards the castle.

This made Long Sihai and his son stunned again. At the same time, someone shouted loudly on the city wall ahead: "Clan leader, there is an army... an army entered from the east and came along the long street..."

"What?!" Long Sihai's body suddenly shook, but was hurriedly supported by Long Tianyao. He felt a moment of shortness of breath, but his mind was still clear, and immediately said, "Yes... it's people from the Second Sect who came into the city. How dare they... how could they..."

How dare they mean that the two sects actually dared to attack Xunyang, but when they thought of Long Tiande's death, he felt that they could accept it again. But then, Long Sihai thought of another point. They had just learned about Long Tiande's death. How did the people of the two sects outside Xunyang City know this bad news so promptly? That's why the latter sentence came about.
