Chapter 1855

General Crow's breath caught in his throat. Gu Chen actually knew so much about the Mist Kingdom. This was too surprising.

Of the princes of the Mist Kingdom, Wu Lie's cousin, the third prince had never been on good terms with him.

Their relationship had never been good since they were young, and Wu Lie, as the prince of Great Cheng, had always suppressed the third prince, causing the latter to resent him.

The Flaming Sun Crown Prince had once visited the Mist Kingdom and sent someone to contact the third prince. They were all aware of this.

However, they had never heard of the news that the Heaven and Earth Faction intended to support the third prince!

However, Gu Chen's words were so certain that he seemed to have a clear grasp of the situation. This caused General Crow's heart to sink.

Just by looking at how the Jin Kingdom and Cang Kingdom had fallen into the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's hands, it was clear that supporting the third prince, who was hostile to Wu Lie, to the throne was completely in line with the Heaven and Earth Faction's style!

The fact that the Mist Kingdom's throne was still up in the air was already a huge blow to Wu Lie's prestige. If the third prince succeeded the throne and publicly announced his support for the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, the consequences would be unimaginable …

As an envoy, General Crow should have tried to reassure his ally, Gu Chen, but at this moment, he himself felt uneasy.

"If the third prince really succeeds the throne and restarts the attack on the Pei Kingdom, the Pei Kingdom might not be able to maintain its alliance with Brother Wu Lie in order to protect itself."

Gu Chen's face was full of worry. "General, the Mist Kingdom loves martial arts and has been eyeing the Pei Kingdom's granaries for a long time. You can understand the Pei Kingdom's difficulties, right?"

General Crow was speechless. Could he say that he didn't understand? The other party was right!

If the Mist Kingdom really submitted to the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, then Wu Lie's power would really be gone. No wonder the Pei Kingdom would abandon him.

In fact, the Pei Kingdom's insistence on forming an alliance at this time was already a timely help.

The Mist Kingdom was a barren land and had always coveted the Pei Kingdom. The Flaming Sun Crown Prince might very well persuade the Mist Kingdom to attack the Pei Kingdom and force them to submit to him.

Even if the Pei Kingdom submitted at that time, it might be too late. It would be given as a gift to the Flaming Sun Crown Prince's supporters.

Therefore, Pei Guo was already generous enough, and no one could criticize him!

"I understand Mister Chen's intentions. I will pass on the message to His Highness Wu Lie." Commander Crow had a lot on his mind and could only say this.

"Facing the current situation, does Your Highness Wu Lie have any thoughts or ideas?" Gu Chen asked again.

General Crow was silent. Heaven and Earth Society had acted so quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, catching His Highness Wu Lie off guard. How could they easily reverse the situation?

If His Highness Wu Lie had a way, he wouldn't have smashed a bunch of things in anger.

"I have an idea that can prevent the crisis that Pei Nation is about to face. Perhaps it can also help Brother Wu Lie turn the situation around."

Gu Chen's sudden change in topic caused the Crow General Commander's eyes to light up.

"What do you think, Mr. Chen?" he asked excitedly.

"Rather than passively taking a beating, it's better to take the initiative and attack!" Gu Chen's eyes lit up.

"What do you mean?"

"Since the Mist Kingdom will attack Pei Guo sooner or later, why don't we take advantage of the fact that the Mist Kingdom is in a state of disunity and attack first?

Brother Wu Lie's influence in the Mist Kingdom is great. If he sends people to support him in secret, I believe that Pei Guo can at least take down a few counties in the Mist Kingdom.

"When the Mist Kingdom faces the threat of extinction, Prince Wu Lie can influence the successor of the Mist King. Prince Wu Lie has influence over the Mist Kingdom, which means that Brother Wu Lie will have influence again.

"Let me ask you, if Pei Guo withdraws its troops as a condition to prevent the third prince from inheriting the throne, will the third prince still be able to inherit the throne? Will the plan of Heaven and Earth Society and the Flaming Sun Crown Prince succeed?

"As long as this situation is broken, the Seven Kingdoms will think that Brother Wu Lie has stabilized the situation, and that he still has a chance to fight for the throne!"

Gu Chen spoke with confidence and composure. General Crow listened attentively, and as he listened to the latter part, his face was filled with excitement.

"Good idea, Mr. Chen! This is indeed a good way to solve the current problem! "

Not only could they protect their ally, Pei Guo, but they could also regain control of the situation in the Mist Kingdom. There was indeed no better way than this.

Furthermore, the one sending troops was Pei Guo, so Prince Wu Lie only needed to support them in secret. There wouldn't be any losses, so why not?

"I'll go back and report Mr. Chen's suggestion to Prince Wu Lie. I believe that Prince Wu Lie will agree to it!" General Crow said happily.

"Then I'll wait for your good news," Gu Chen said with a smile.

General Crow quickly left Pei City with Ming Shou's corpse and returned to Sheng Yang.

In Wu Lie's mansion, after hearing Gu Chen's suggestion that General Crow had conveyed to him, Wu Lie's expression flickered, and he pondered for a long time.

"Hmph, this Chen Yi is really ambitious!"

After a while, he suddenly slammed the table and gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

General Crow, who was standing in front of him, asked in surprise. He thought that Wu Lie would be very happy to hear about Chen Yi's brilliant plan.

"You've been tricked by Chen Yi! It's all a trap. He's probably been coveting the Mist Kingdom's territory for some time! "Wu Lie snorted coldly.

He carefully asked General Crow about the conversation between Gu Chen and General Crow, and he immediately smelled a conspiracy.

First, he guaranteed that nothing would go wrong with the alliance, so that he could win the favor of the people he sent.

Then, he exaggerated the danger that Pei Guo was facing, so that he could naturally speak of his shameless plan.

He was clearly coveting the Mist Kingdom's territory, but he said that it was for his own good. How hateful!

"But Your Highness, that Chen Yi's words are very reasonable."

Commander Crow said hesitantly. He felt that His Highness was a little too wary.

"Of course he's reasonable. If he wasn't, how could he force me to agree? He's playing the same old trick! "

Wu Lie gritted his teeth in hatred, and his eyes were about to spit fire.

If this was his first time interacting with Gu Chen, he might believe his words and think that he was a trustworthy friend.

But after the previous experience of being used to deal with Qiankun Group, he was very suspicious of Chen Yi's claim that Qiankun Group had the intention of helping the Third Prince ascend to the throne.

That guy was good at exaggerating. He had gone around in a circle just to get his help so that he could successfully conquer the Mist Kingdom's territory!

He could clearly see the other party's wild ambitions. Just like how he had obtained control over Pei Guo, he was now eyeing the Mist Kingdom!

Hearing Wu Lie's detailed analysis, Crow General finally came to his senses. This might really be a trap.

To think that he had put himself in Pei Guo's shoes and felt that Chen Yi was very interesting. So it was just an act!

"Your Highness, what should we do now? Are we not going to accept Chen Yi's suggestion? "

General Crow asked. He still felt that Chen Yi's suggestion was a good idea, and it was normal for him to be a little selfish.

The world was bustling for benefits, and the world was bustling for benefits.

No matter how loyal an ally was, it was impossible not to ask for something in return. The only thing to consider was whether it was worth it.
