Chapter 69 The Plan to Cut Off Food
"I think the most important thing is to find out who sent the letter."
After reading the letter, Zhu Zhuyun shared her thoughts.
Regardless of the veracity of the letter's contents, their first priority was to find out who the sender was.
Once you know who the recipient is, you can then decide whether the letter is genuine or fake.
You can't just believe a letter when you don't even know who the other person is.
It's worth noting that this could also be a trap set by the Justice League to lure the enemy.
The Killing City is outnumbered and outgunned, and cannot afford to take any risks.
Yun Sha nodded slightly: "Then let's assume this letter is genuine. But who sent it? Knowing such a secret, their status and power must be considerable."
"Although there aren't many people who meet the requirements, there are still quite a few," Zhu Zhuyun said, her eyes darting around.
"But there were only a few people who could deliver this letter to us, no more than six."
"Oh?" Yun Sha's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Which five?"
Zhu Zhuyun smiled faintly and held up one finger: "First, Ning Fengzhi; second, Yu Luomian; third, Emperor Xueye; fourth, Dai Tianfeng; as for the fifth..."
Yun Sha tentatively asked, "Bibi Dong?"
"That's right. These five are the absolute core of the Justice League. They must know about the supplies and logistics, so this is very likely a trap to lure the enemy."
"Who is the sixth one?"
Zhu Zhuyun answered without hesitation, "Xue Qinghe."
"Why him?" Yun Sha didn't quite understand.
Zhu Zhuyun analyzed carefully: "Aside from those five people, if there is anyone else who would tip off the Killing City, it can only be him, because in the Justice League, he is the only one who has a relationship with the Killing King."
Yun Sha frowned: "Even so, he is still the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, our enemy. How could he possibly help his enemy?"
Zhu Zhuyun sighed softly, "I understood a principle three years ago."
"What's the reasoning behind that?"
"Friends may not help you, and those who help you may not be friends."
Upon hearing this, Yun Sha nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, Xue Qinghe seems different from those people. He seems to admire Huan Ming."
Zhu Zhuyun said, "So, there's only a 50% chance this letter is true. Should we take the gamble?"
That's right. Although Bibi Dong and the others are five people, they all share the same stance and can be considered as one.
Xue Qinghe can be seen as another one.
There's only a 50% chance this letter is real or fake.
Yun Sha said half-jokingly, "If we lose this bet, the City of Slaughter will be doomed."
"It definitely needs to be carefully considered," Zhu Zhuyun nodded.
"No need to think twice, this letter must be genuine."
Suddenly, a rough and domineering voice rang out.
Then the King of Slaughter walked in from outside the palace, and he spoke those words to the two women.
"The King of Slaughter?"
Yun Sha thought for a moment and asked, "Why must it be true?"
The King of Slaughter snorted coldly, "Don't I know those guys from the Justice League? They're all arrogant and look down on small forces. This time, the Justice League has even mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of thousands of Soul Masters to conquer my Slaughter City."
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their power is overwhelming. This force could easily conquer the entire Douluo Continent, let alone the City of Slaughter."
"We are nothing but ants in their eyes. Tell me, do you need to use a scheme to crush an ant? Therefore, I am certain that this letter is genuine."
Yun Sha disagreed: "Bibi Dong knows Huan Ming's strength. Others may be arrogant, but she certainly won't. She will definitely make the Justice League proceed cautiously."
"Haha, Yunsha, you've followed me for so many years, but the world in your heart is still too small," the King of Slaughter laughed.
"What do you mean?"
The King of Slaughter said with certainty, "If I were Bibi Dong, I would not have ordered the army to be cautious. On the contrary, I would have ordered them to fight recklessly and kill as many people as possible."
Zhu Zhuyun was also somewhat confused. "Why?"
"Heh, you only saw one aspect of this decisive battle, but you didn't see the other," the King of Slaughter said calmly.
"On the surface, the Justice League is supposed to be fighting against the Kuiba and the Killing City, but the Killing City is only so big. After we take it down, how should we divide the credit?"
"If the Kuiba are destroyed and the Slaughter City is ruined, what benefit will the Spirit Hall gain? It will become the next Slaughter City, and sooner or later it will be besieged by various forces!"
"That makes sense." Yun Sha realized.
The King of Slaughter said confidently, "Therefore, if I were Bibi Dong, I would definitely take advantage of this incident to weaken the strength of the major powers."
"In this way, once the Kuiba is eliminated, all the major forces will be severely weakened, and in a few years, the Spirit Hall will surely be able to unify the world."
Zhu Zhuyun nodded: "That's right. Bibi Dong knows Huanming's strength, but on the contrary, she won't tell anyone. She will just send more people to their deaths."
"Firstly, she doesn't want to bring up her humiliating past; secondly, she can use Huanming to strike at various powerful forces so she can reap the benefits."
"Yes, that's the logic. So I'm certain that this letter wasn't sent by those five people, and it's even less likely that it was sent by Bibi Dong. This letter must have been sent by Xue Qinghe," said the King of Slaughter.
Yun Sha was fairly convinced, but she still didn't dare to take the risk for something so important.
Seeing this, the King of Slaughter simply said, "If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. I can guarantee that the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters are definitely hiding at the very back. Bibi Dong will definitely send others to their deaths first, while she preserves her strength."
"In addition, you can also send people to investigate the supply of provisions, with a focus on Soto City, as it is the granary of the Heavenly Dou Empire."
Zhu Zhuyun looked at Yun Sha: "That's feasible. If there's a real shortage of food, we can send a small force to cut off their supplies. This will greatly prolong the decisive battle and allow us to wait for Huanming to return."
"Alright, let's do it this way." Yun Sha no longer hesitated, and then she looked at the King of Slaughter:
"I've always known you're a deep thinker, but I never expected you'd actually lend a helping hand this time."
Three years ago, the King of Slaughter was brutally beaten by Huanming.
Instead of holding a grudge, this guy is now united with them against a common enemy.
Upon hearing this, the King of Slaughter sighed heavily: "Even if the Kuiba takes over the Slaughter City, they will not kill me. On the contrary, they have people taking care of my daily life."
"I've never been hungry, never been cold, and every day I just raise fish and admire flowers. To be honest, I haven't been this relaxed in a long time."
"But once the City of Slaughter falls, not only will Bibi Dong not let me go, but the other four will definitely not let me go either. Will I still be alive then?"
Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but laugh: "You're quite open-minded."
