Chapter 1800
Chapter 1800
Seeing him like this, Wu Lie suddenly thought of some rumors regarding the Chen Clan.
It was rumored that the Chen Clan had secluded themselves because Chen Sheng had disappeared and they had offended some major powers.
Under such circumstances, the Chen Clan was biding their time and naturally couldn't cause too much of a commotion in the cultivation world to attract the attention of others.
Thinking of this, Wu Lie calmed down slightly. He said gloomily, "I can deal with the Qiankun Association's spies, but what can you do? You can't just shout once or twice to form an alliance, can you? "
Seeing that Wu Lie was no longer unwilling to let go of the matter of the Chen Clan's spies, Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like his plan was correct.
There had to be a reason behind the Chen Clan's seclusion. Using this to his advantage would naturally save him a lot of trouble.
Fortunately, Wu Lie was indeed an intelligent person. As soon as Wu Lie's expression changed slightly, Wu Lie was able to make many connections and avoid the possibility of exposing any flaws in his explanation.
Gu Chen sighed inwardly. He really liked smart people too much.
There was no need for the spies to come out, but the matter couldn't just end like this. Otherwise, the cooperation would fall through. Gu Chen had also thought of a way to deal with this. He said, "First of all, I can guarantee that under my control, Pei Guo won't do anything that's disadvantageous to you. When you fight for the throne, we'll be able to send troops to help you. If I let the seventh prince ascend to the throne, it'll be the same as announcing to the outside world that Pei Guo supports you. You'll have a lot of face. "
"What else?" Wu Lie listened. What Gu Chen said was the main reason for his plan to take over Pei Guo. It was naturally for the best if he could do what he said. However, the thornier problem in front of him was the Qiankun Association.
"Secondly, once you eliminate the spies of the Qiankun Association in Dacheng, the higher-ups of the Qiankun Association will definitely be alerted. At that time, experts will need to be sent out. I can promise you that as long as you cooperate and set up an ambush, the Chen Clan will deal with the experts of the Qiankun Association! "
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Wu Lie's eyes lit up. "Are you serious?"
Although the Qiankun Association's spies were numerous and scattered, with Wu Lie's influence in Dacheng, it wouldn't be a big problem to find them.
The cultivation of the secret agent was generally not high. As long as he set up a trap in advance, he would not suffer too much loss.
What he was truly worried about was that by mobilizing so many people to deal with the Qiankun Association, what would he do if he angered this colossus and sent out some experts he couldn't deal with?
This was completely possible. There was no lack of experts known to the world among the members of the Qiankun Group.
Although, due to certain reasons, the Qiankun Association would not openly attack him, the Second Prince of Dacheng, they could attack him secretly. At that time, he would not be able to guard against it.
But now, if the Chen Clan stepped out to deal with this, his safety would be greatly guaranteed, and he could even shift the anger of the Qiankun Group onto the Chen Clan …
Previously, Gu Chen had refused to send people to deal with the secret agents no matter what. Now, he was willing to help deal with the experts of Qiankun Group. In Wu Lie's eyes, this was reasonable.
The other party had a prerequisite. He had to help set up the ambush, and the main reason was to prevent the news from leaking out!
Wu Lie felt that he had seen through the thoughts of the Chen Clan. They wanted to become enemies with the Qiankun Gang, but they didn't wish to attract the attention of other powers.
"Since a word has been spoken, it cannot be retracted. Brother Wu Lie can rest assured." Gu Chen guaranteed again, the corners of his mouth curling up into a meaningful smile.
He had originally wanted to capture the core members of the Qiankun Group. Only then could he obtain useful information and get closer to Fang Yuan.
Thus, he would make a move against the higher-ups of the Qiankun Group sooner or later. What was the point of giving Wu Lie such a guarantee?
He couldn't send the experts of the Chen Clan, but he could do it himself …
"Good, I can see Brother Chen's sincerity. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!" Wu Lie was finally satisfied with Gu Chen's expression. He showed a relieved smile on his face.
Ever since he learned of the Shao Clan's rebellion and the interference of the Qiankun Group, he felt that the situation had gone out of his control. Now that he had the help of the Chen Clan, things were finally back on track.
The two officially colluded with each other and continued to discuss some matters that needed attention. Wu Lie only left the Luo Water Palace at dawn.
Once Wu Lie left, Limitless Tyrant Dragon came to Gu Chen. "An official alliance?"
It had seen Wu Lie's smile before he left clearly from afar, so it naturally guessed that Gu Chen's scheme had succeeded.
"Mm, it went more smoothly than I imagined. He is the first chess piece in this chess game. I wonder how Fang Yuan will respond after I make my move? "
Gu Chen's deep gaze looked towards the eastern sky that was turning bright. Back then in Chaotic Sea, he had entered Fang Yuan's chess game without knowing it. Eventually, his divine path was seized and he died.
But now, he was in the dark while Fang Yuan was out in the open. The chess game had already been set, he wanted to see who was better.
"That's right, if you can't get any useful information out of that Qiankun Group spy, you can kill him. There's no need to hand him over to Wu Lie." Gu Chen thought of something and said casually.
Wu Lie had already confirmed his alliance with him, and he also had clues about Qiankun Group. He naturally didn't need the spy on his side.
"Yes." Limitless Tyrant Dragon accepted the order and left without any change in expression.
In this chess game between Gu Chen and Fang Yuan, all living beings were chess pieces. The ones who would lose their lives next would not just be a mere spy.
When Wu Lie walked out of the palace, General Crow had already completed the mission of exterminating Shao tribe and was waiting outside the palace.
"Your Highness has already formed an alliance with Chen Yi?" General Crow saw Wu Lie's relaxed expression and probed.
"That's right, this is the only way now. Since Qiankun Group dares to attack me, don't blame me for being ruthless! "
Wu Lie chuckled coldly, "Send my order, our people in Sheng Yang border and the seven countries are on standby. After we sort out the connections, we will exterminate all of Qiankun Group's evil people in Da Cheng!"
General Crow knew that the second prince had made up his mind. He nodded and accepted the order, but he reminded with some apprehension. "That Chen Yi said he has enmity with Qiankun Group, but his motive is unknown. Your Highness has to be on guard."
"I understand this. Secretly send people to contact Pei country's second prince, Liu Che, and give him resources and manpower to support him." Wu Lie's gaze flickered as he said.
On the surface, the seventh prince was his preferred candidate for Pei King, but in reality, he was only a puppet monarch.
Now that he had no choice but to hand this puppet over to Chen Yi, Pei King's authority would also fall into the other party's hands. He could not be at ease.
In order to restrain the other party, he naturally had to support someone else. He could not let Pei King completely go out of control.
Because they were already allies on the surface, he could not be too obvious and could only think of ways to support a prince.
He had personally inspected the second prince, Liu Che, and he was a rather suitable candidate for Pei King. In the past, he would not be suitable, but now he was very suitable.
That seventh prince was an idiot, the officials would definitely have objections if he were to become Pei King, and they would easily side with the second prince in private. This way, he would leave a nail in Pei country!
No one was a fool. In the chess game of the world, you make use of me, I make use of you. In the end, who would have the last laugh would depend on who was more skilled.
