Chapter 1849

Outside a pavilion on the mountain, the tall, dark-skinned Wu Lie stood with his hands behind his back.

Around a dozen Crow Generals were scattered around the pavilion, wielding dagger-axes. Their feathered armors were constantly emitting flames.

Gu Chen had been led here. When he saw Wu Lie, he didn't say a word. Instead, he calmly observed his surroundings.

"Brother Chen, long time no see."

Seeing that Gu Chen had no intention of greeting him, Wu Lie spoke in a powerful voice.

"Get straight to the point. Let's talk business."

Gu Chen calmly glanced at him, then his gaze fell on a rock in the distance where a few hummingbirds were hopping about.

"No rush. I've already prepared some food and wine. Let's talk while we eat."

Wu Lie smiled as he walked into the pavilion. The table was indeed already prepared with exquisite food and wine.

"Sure."

The corner of Gu Chen's mouth curled into a mocking smile. He brushed past the Crow Generals, entered the pavilion, and sat down opposite Wu Lie.

Wu Lie personally poured wine for Gu Chen and sighed as he spoke. "Brother Chen, I've been having a hard time lately. I've come to Peidu this time to ask for reinforcements."

"What reinforcements?" Gu Chen feigned ignorance.

Hearing this, Wu Lie looked at him deeply and reminded, "Brother Chen, have you forgotten the agreement between us? I've handed Peiguo to you. You should help me when I need it. "

"Brother Wu Lie is the second prince of Dacheng. What can I help you with?" Gu Chen continued to feign ignorance.

Wu Lie's face instantly darkened. "Brother Chen, don't speak like that. That Yan Yang fellow has completely fallen out with me. I need Peiguo to send reinforcements!"

Gu Chen's face was still as calm as water. He ignored the displeasure in Wu Lie's words and smiled. "If Prince Wu Lie needs my help, he'll naturally come looking for me. What does that have to do with you?"

What does that have to do with you?!

Wu Lie's originally displeased expression immediately froze, and his pupils shrank slightly!

Gu Chen looked at him with interest.

"How do you know I'm not Wu Lie? My disguise should be pretty good. "

The voice of the person in front of him suddenly changed. He put down the wine glass in his hand and said coldly.

"There's nothing wrong with your disguise. But before I came, I knew it wasn't Wu Lie who was looking for me," Gu Chen replied coldly.

"Oh? So you're saying that the person we sent to invite you revealed a flaw? "

"Wu Lie" immediately cast a cold glance at the Crow General who had been sent to pick up Gu Chen outside the pavilion.

"That's right. If it was Wu Lie who invited me, his people would never dare to be presumptuous towards me." Gu Chen mocked.

Ever since the Crow General had descended upon the Luo Water Palace, he had been acting all high and mighty. Clearly, he did not know the true relationship between him and Wu Lie.

He had deliberately kept the news under wraps. Most people in the outside world thought that Pei Guo had sided with Wu Lie. Even those who knew about Chen Yi probably thought that he and Wu Lie had a superior and subordinate relationship.

But it was impossible for Wu Lie's trusted aides not to know that he and Wu Lie were actually working together on equal terms. Even if there were some who did not know, Wu Lie would definitely not dare to let his subordinates act so presumptuously when he sent someone to invite him!

He had come very suddenly without any prior communication. That Crow General was so arrogant, so Gu Chen naturally saw that something was wrong with a glance.

"So that's how it is. Idiot!"

Killing intent flashed in 'Wu Lie's' eyes. He suddenly raised his palm and aimed at the Crow General outside the pavilion.

Boom!

Before the Crow General could react, a dazzling beam of light pierced through its body, burning it to ashes in an instant!

Gu Chen's expression did not change when he saw this. Instead, the Crow Generals outside the pavilion were as silent as cicadas in winter.

"Since you guessed from the start that it wasn't Wu Lie who was looking for you, why did you still dare to come?"

After killing the Crow General, 'Wu Lie' asked coldly with anger in his heart.

He felt that all his acting had been for nothing. No, it was not just for nothing. The other party had long since realized the truth. His words and actions were probably a joke in the other party's eyes!

"Since you're here, even if I didn't come, you would still come knocking on my door, right? Since that's the case, why don't we settle this outside of the city. Fighting in Pei Du would cause too much of a commotion. "Gu Chen shook his head.

"You know who I am?" The person in front of him had a glint in his eyes.

Gu Chen swept his gaze across the Crow Generals outside the pavilion and said, "Although you're not Wu Lie, these Crow Generals are the real deal. The token from the Da Cheng Royal Family is also real. Hence, I'm guessing that you're someone sent by the Flaming Sun Crown Prince? "

Hearing this, 'Wu Lie' laughed sinisterly. "You're very smart."

Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders and asked, "You're looking for me because you want to obtain control of Pei Kingdom from me?"

The fight between Wu Lie and the Flaming Sun Crown Prince for the throne had been getting more and more intense. Both sides were fighting from the Sheng Yang Region to the seven countries. Neither side wanted to be the loser.

From the impatience in Wu Lie's letter, Gu Chen could tell many things. He could also guess that the Flaming Sun Crown Prince would make a move against Pei Kingdom.

Pei Kingdom was now in his hands. If the Flaming Sun Crown Prince wanted to investigate, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out.

Of course, the alliance between him and Wu Lie was very secretive. Hence, even if the Flaming Sun Crown Prince knew of his existence, he wouldn't know that the two of them were working together.

He wouldn't have guessed that Wu Lie's actions against Qiankun Group were all instigated by him.

It was precisely because of this that the Crow General from before had made such a low-level mistake!

"It's easy to talk to smart people. Looks like you admit that Pei Kingdom is now under your control." Wu Lie said.

"Speak. What are your conditions?" Gu Chen asked casually.

"Conditions? Do you think that we came here personally to discuss conditions with you? Do you think that you'll agree to support the Flaming Sun Crown Prince? "Wu Lie's face revealed a look of mockery.

"Oh? Then what do you want? "Gu Chen's face was full of interest.

"From the moment you stepped foot on this mountain, you were already a dead man. When you die, Pei Kingdom's Liu Yan will die as well. We will cleanse Pei Kingdom completely and ensure that the new Pei Kingdom's Prince will be loyal to us. "

Wu Lie, who was in front of him, revealed a murderous intent. He was like an invisible blade that had already been placed in the sky above Peidu.

'Such ruthless methods and completely disregard the repercussions of failure. This doesn't seem like something a Dacheng royal family would do.'

Gu Chen's eyes turned serious. Luckily, he had left the Limitless Tyrannosaurus Rex in the palace. If not, he wouldn't have been able to stop the assassin.

He had no intention of discussing conditions with Pei Kingdom at all. Instead, he wanted the Flaming Sun Crown Prince to change the dynasty. This didn't seem like something a Flaming Sun Crown Prince would do.

It wasn't that he understood the Flaming Sun Crown Prince very well. It was just that based on Wu Lie's words and actions in Pei Kingdom, even if the Dacheng royal family wanted to take over the kingdom, they wouldn't dare to make it too obvious.

This sudden and thunderous action seemed more like the style of another organization.

The one who attacked him might not be the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, but Qiankun Group!
