He naturally thought of everything Zhao Liuan had.
Moreover, he deduced the mastermind's intent: to wait and see how he would handle the hot potato that was Asutai.
'Kill him, or not?'
Killing Asutai would certainly thwart the mastermind's scheme and temporarily clear him of any suspicion of colluding with the Barbarian Race.
But if he did, that jackal Du Cang would undoubtedly publicize the matter to protect the Peacock King Banner and the security of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
At that point, even if he wasn't executed, his death would not be far off.
But if he didn't kill Asutai…
Liu Hong was deeply unwilling to let the mastermind's plot succeed!
After wrestling with the decision, a look of grim resolve settled on Liu Hong's face. He directly ordered Liu Taoyao to take Asutai away and place him under guard.
