Chapter 1794
It wasn't too late to find him now. The fish had finally taken the bait, and it was just in time to carry out Gu Chen's plan.
"I have some questions to ask you. If you don't want to suffer any more, you'd better answer truthfully."
Next, Gu Chen asked some questions about the Qiankun Group.
However, everything was as Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex had said. The guy on the ground didn't know much. Although he was a secret agent of the Qiankun Group, he had been bribed a long time ago. Before this, he had always been on standby and had never participated in any other missions.
His understanding of the Qiankun Group was limited to his online account. The reason he had infiltrated the Luo Water Palace to investigate Gu Chen was because he had received instructions from his online account.
Unable to get any useful information, Gu Chen frowned slightly.
The Qiankun Group's organizational structure was larger and more complicated than he had imagined. Otherwise, they wouldn't have planted spies in the Pei Kingdom's palace.
But while it was huge, it was also well-kept secret. The information obtained by each line was limited, and this effectively ensured that it was difficult for those with ill intentions to infiltrate the organization.
This style of doing things was in line with Gu Chen's understanding of the other party's origin ability and methods. This guy really wasn't that easy to get close to!
"Master, what do we do now? Do we follow the clues and find this guy's online account?" Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex asked tentatively. If they followed the clues one by one, it believed that they would be able to catch the members of the Qiankun Group who truly held important information.
"Of course we have to find the online account, but it's better to leave this matter to others," Gu Chen muttered. They had limited manpower. It wasn't worthwhile to waste all their energy on this.
Moreover, the Qiankun Group was a huge organization. Who knew how many spies there were behind it? It would be difficult for the two of them to catch all of them at once. They might even alert the enemy.
"Others? Who should do it? Tang Xuance? "Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex was stunned.
Wu Ming, Heaven's Equal Emperor, and the others weren't here. It was the only one that Gu Chen could use. If he didn't use it, only the Tang family could barely make use of it.
However, this matter was of great importance. The Tang family might not be reliable.
"Leave it to Prince Wulie." Gu Chen chuckled.
"Great Cheng's second prince? He will help you? "Wuji Tyrannosaurus Rex wanted to ask more, but Gu Chen didn't want to explain.
"Keep an eye on him. I'll give him as a gift to the second prince."
After saying that, Gu Chen left the room and went back to cultivate.
…
The appointed day to pay a visit to Prince Wu Lie had arrived. At noon, Gu Chen rode Limitless Tyrannosaurus Rex and headed for a mansion in Pei City under the protection of many Water Dance Army soldiers.
Tang Xuance naturally tagged along. After all, Gu Chen was nominally the Tang family's Revered Elder.
As they approached Wu Lie's mansion, Tang Xuance felt extremely uneasy because he really couldn't figure out Gu Chen's thoughts.
'. Wuji Chen of. like, he was to find it. T like him. Chen....., he, he,..'t...
Gu Chen, on the other hand, looked like he was on a sightseeing tour. He strolled leisurely to the gates of Wu Lie's mansion.
The guard at the gate was Crow General. He was right. Gu Chen got off the dragon's back.
"His Highness Wulie and I agreed to visit today. Please inform him of our arrival," Tang Xuance said to the guard.
Tang Xuance said to the guard at the door. The guard had seen them from afar and knew that they had guests today. He nodded and immediately went into the manor to inform them.
Not long after, an exceptionally tall Crow General commander with a scar on his eye appeared, charging straight towards Gu Chen.
"Are you Mr. Chen?" General Crow asked politely. Gu Chen had some impression of him. That day when Prince Wu Lie appeared at the banquet, this person was standing closest to him. Clearly, he was his trusted aide.
"Yes," Gu Chen replied.
"His Highness invites you in!" General Crow immediately made a gesture of invitation, but he was only polite to Gu Chen. As for Tang Xuance, who was beside him, he didn't even bother to look at him.
Tang Xuance's expression was a bit unnatural, but he knew that the man was from the powerful Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe and was the prince's confidant. He had the confidence to look down on him.
Under Crow General's guidance, Gu Chen entered the mansion. Tang Xuance followed by his side, while Limitless Tyrannosaurus Rex stayed outside.
In the eyes of outsiders, Wuji Tyrant Dragon was just an ordinary draconic dragon. Gu Chen didn't want to expose its uniqueness for now.
The mansion was exquisite and luxurious, with nine winding corridors. Although it was only a temporary residence for Prince Wulie, it was still very grand.
Soon, they arrived at the banquet hall. Prince Wulie was already sitting on the main seat.
Today, he was wearing a loose robe, and his dark and strong muscles could be vaguely seen on his chest.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, Lord Tang, please take a seat!"
Seeing that they had arrived, he gestured for them to take a seat. He filled his cup to the brim with wine, looking very relaxed.
Tang Xuance sat down with a straight face. After all, the other had sent someone to assassinate him before. The two of them had almost fallen out, so it was hard for him to be in a good mood.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, had a rare smile on his face. He sat down and poured himself a cup of wine, drinking it in one gulp. It tasted very good.
"Your Highness, the second prince, the wine in this mansion is rare and excellent. It seems that you know how to enjoy yourself," he praised.
"The Chen Clan is an ancient clan with a long history. They should have no shortage of wine like this, right?" Wu Lie looked up with a smile.
After leaving the palace that day, he had ordered people to carefully gather information about Chen Yi.
The answer he got later shocked him. Chen Yi was a disciple of the Chen Clan, who possessed the Three Fixed Holy Techniques!
He was skeptical when he first got the news. After all, the disciples of the Chen Clan rarely came out into the world, and for some reason, they rarely got involved in worldly disputes.
But then he got the news that the Empress Dowager had knelt and kowtowed to Chen Yi, and that he had summoned the princes the next day. He couldn't stay calm.
The dignified Empress Dowager had actually taken the initiative to kowtow to a member of the Tang Clan. If it wasn't for the fact that this person had an extraordinary status and could be of great help to the Pei Nation, why would she do this?
And the next day, he had met with the princes. This meant that the Empress Dowager had convinced him that he was really going to intervene in the Pei Nation's situation!
All of this made Wu Lie feel troubled. If the other party was only powerful and couldn't even kill the assassins of the Pavilion of Innocence, it wouldn't be a big deal for him. He still had many tricks up his sleeve.
But the powerful Chen Clan stood behind him, so he couldn't use some of his tricks casually. If things went wrong, it might lead to a conflict between the Scorching Sun Clan and the Chen Clan!
His interference in the Pei Nation's politics to expand his own power was a sensitive act. If he made a big enemy like the Chen Clan for the royal family, some people in the Realm of Seizing Sun would definitely make a big deal out of this. By then, he would be in a terrible situation. If things went wrong, he might even lose the right to fight for the throne!
Thus, he had been in a terrible mood these past few days. His original confidence was gone, and he didn't know what to do next.
Coincidentally, at this time, the other party took the initiative to give him a visiting card. He wanted to test the other party's identity and figure out the other party's intentions, so he agreed and held this banquet today.
