Chapter 1858

"Then, Mister Chen, what should we do now? Should we stop attacking?"

Tang Xuance's expression turned serious. Gu Chen's speculation was very likely. Once Mu Yehou secured his position as the Mist King, he might turn against Pei Jun.

The Mist Army, which was united from top to bottom, could not be underestimated. If Pei Jun's frontlines were stretched too far, the situation would be extremely disadvantageous!

Therefore, the safest choice was to stop attacking. Pei Jun should tighten the frontlines and speed up the digestion of the five commanderies. They should strive to completely turn them into Pei Jun's territory.

"Don't worry too much. Attack faster! Remember, time is precious. Do your best to take more territory! "

Gu Chen's eyes glowed as he gave a completely different opinion from what Tang Xuance had imagined.

"Why? Didn't Mister Chen just say … "

Tang Xuance's breath caught in his throat. He was completely confused.

He believed that the person in front of him must understand the logic of greed. Why did he continue to take the risk to attack the Mist Kingdom?

"You don't need to ask so many questions. You'll know soon enough. Just do as I say," Gu Chen said.

Tang Xuance was speechless. He wanted to ask more, but he knew that the person in front of him did not like to explain things too clearly.

Seeing his confident expression, Tang Xuance's uneasy heart relaxed a lot. He cupped his fists and left.

He also hoped that the person in front of him really had a way. That way, Pei Jun would be able to obtain more benefits from the Mist Kingdom.

After Tang Xuance left, Ye Mi, dressed in black and green clothes, quietly walked up to Gu Chen. It seemed that she was travel-worn.

"How's the matter I asked you to do?" Gu Chen asked the moment he saw her.

"As you said, I've placed spies around the surrendered generals. Also, the ones who haven't surfaced have been investigated. "

Ye Mi rolled her eyes at Gu Chen. In order to help Gu Chen, she had traveled between the five commanderies, but this guy didn't seem to care about her at all. He only asked about the situation of the mission.

"Very good. It's about time. Help me gather enough killers. Can you do it?" Gu Chen asked.

"How many exactly? Kill who? "Ye Mi was stunned.

"I want you to keep an eye on as many people as you want. Remember, don't let a single one escape," Gu Chen said calmly.

Ye Mi's expression turned cold when she heard this. Only now did she know the ultimate purpose of what Gu Chen had asked her to do.

"If we want to ensure that we can get rid of so many people quickly and safely, we need at least two thousand assassins. With your Kingdom War benefits, you won't be able to gather so many people. "Ye Mi pondered for a moment and spoke truthfully.

"Then hire him. I'll pay for it. Is that okay?" Gu Chen said. He hadn't used the treasures he got from the Clay Bodhisattva.

"That's fine, but the scale of this operation is a little big. I'm afraid I'll have to ask the Pavilion Master."

Ye Mi hesitated. Gu Chen didn't want to kill just one or two people. Once he moved, a large number of heads would fall to the ground.

Those people weren't ordinary people either. Most of them held high positions of authority in the Mist Kingdom, and it would be easy for them to attract attention.

Although Honest Pavilion would do anything for money, it was rare to see such a large-scale operation targeting a single country.

In addition, Honest Pavilion had just experienced an internal conflict. Although the Pavilion Master won in the end, he also lost many people.

It wasn't easy to mobilize such a large number of assassins at such a critical juncture. The Pavilion Master probably wouldn't agree so easily.

"Go and ask, but do it as fast as possible."

Gu Chen nodded. He knew that this couldn't be done without Ye Wunian's consent.

Ye Wunian had just integrated Honest Pavilion, and now it was completely under his control. As long as he agreed, it wouldn't be difficult to gather two thousand assassins.

Gu Chen couldn't think of a reason why he would refuse, but he wasn't worried at all.

"Alright, I'll do it now."

Ye Mi felt helpless. He had just returned, and now he had to go on a run again. He didn't know if he owed this man in his previous life.

…

In Wu Lie's mansion in the Sheng Yang Region.

Hearing the news from the Mist Kingdom's Muye Marquis, Wu Lie revealed a rare smile of relief.

Ever since the Qiankun Group attacked the various countries, he hadn't been so happy in a long time.

Mu Yehou had gradually taken control of the situation in the Mist Kingdom, and the third prince was being marginalized. All he could do now was struggle on his deathbed.

The Mist Kingdom had become his territory again, and the Pei Kingdom's thunderous attacks had deterred many restless forces, proving to the outside world that he still had the strength to fight for the throne!

He was somewhat grateful to Chen Yi for coming up with such a good idea and helping him turn the whole situation around.

"How's the Pei Kingdom's current offensive?"

Wu Lie asked Mu Yehou's messenger after some thought.

"According to Your Highness's orders, the Marquis has gradually cut off the Pei Kingdom's intelligence supply, but the Pei Army is too greedy. They're still attacking and trying to swallow up more of the Mist Kingdom," the messenger replied.

"Haha, this Chen Yi is really greedy. Isn't he afraid of burying himself to death?"

Wu Lie sneered. "Go back and tell the Marquis that his army doesn't need to fight the Pei Army head-on. If the Pei Army wants to eat, let them eat to their heart's content."

"How can we let the Pei Kingdom take advantage of us?" The messenger hesitated.

"Idiot!"

Wu Lie scolded and shook his head. "Think about how many soldiers the Pei Kingdom has. No matter how greedy they are, how much of the Mist Kingdom's territory can they swallow up? The longer they stretch out their battle lines, the more scattered their forces will be, and the worse their losses will be in the future.

"The territory that the Pei Kingdom is currently occupying is all thanks to the Marquis's men. Your Marquis can let them into the city once, but is it that difficult to let them in a second time?

"I promised your Marquis that I would find a way to make the Pei Kingdom spit out what they have taken. What I need to do now is to achieve this.

"Tell him everything I said, and he will naturally understand what I mean!"

The messenger's eyes lit up when he heard this. He praised, "Your Highness is wise. I will tell the Marquis the truth!"

The messenger hurriedly left. General Crow hesitated for a moment before asking, "Didn't Your Highness promise that the Pei Kingdom can hand over the territory they occupy? If you go back on your word after the deed is done, I'm afraid that Chen Yi will be very unhappy. "

"Hmph, who does that Chen Yi think he is? He has been scheming against me, and he still wants me to burn the bridge?" Wu Lie said coldly.

Although he was saved by Gu Chen's plan, he didn't forget that he had been schemed against by Gu Chen previously.

"The Pei Kingdom is your Highness's ally. If Your Highness does this, what if that Chen Yi becomes angry and turns to the Flaming Sun Crown Prince?" General Crow asked worriedly.

"You're thinking too much. That Chen Yi won't do this. The extermination of the Qiankun Group's spies was carried out under his orders. If he dares to turn to the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, I will tell him the truth and make him feel bad."

"Moreover, the Chen Clan obviously has their own troubles. Chen Yi's actions cannot be seen in the light of day, so he won't dare to completely fall out with me."

Wu Lie laughed coldly. Previously, when he was in Peidu and had a secret conversation with Gu Chen, he could tell that the Chen Clan was intentionally targeting the Qiankun Group. However, they didn't want the outside world to know.
