Chapter 1868

"I have no power in Shengyang. How can I help Brother Wu Lie if I go?"

Gu Chen's eyebrows twitched. His intuition told him that this was not a simple matter.

"This …"

Crow General looked at the Clay Buddha beside Gu Chen. He wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

"Don't worry, Commander. There are no outsiders in the Luo Shui Palace."

Gu Chen knew what he was thinking and said calmly.

Crow General no longer had any reservations. "Mr. Chen, do you still remember the promise you made with His Highness Wu Lie? Mr. Chen said that if the elites from Qiankun Group came looking for you, the Chen Clan would help you solve the problem! "

"If I remember correctly, the condition of the promise was that Brother Wu Lie would cooperate in setting up an ambush, right?" Gu Chen did not admit it.

"That's right. But the situation now is special. If Mr. Chen doesn't help, I'm afraid His Highness Wu Lie will lose. And if His Highness loses, Mr. Chen will be punished by Qiankun Group and the Flaming Sun Crown Prince.

His Highness Wu Lie asked me to tell Mr. Chen that both of us are interdependent. In this situation, Mr. Chen can't find any excuse to refuse or refuse! "

Although Crow General's tone was polite, Gu Chen could hear the anxiety in Wu Lie's heart. It could even be said that he was desperate.

"Is the situation that bad? Didn't Brother Wu Lie have the upper hand in Shengyang? "Gu Chen asked, puzzled.

"We did have the upper hand before. However, as soon as Emperor Sheng opened his mouth, all our advantages disappeared," said Crow General with a sigh.

"What's going on? What's the test? "Gu Chen frowned.

"Emperor Sheng asked His Highness Wu Lie and the Flaming Sun Crown Prince to enter the Ancestral Land of the Burning Sun Clan. Whoever obtains the approval of the Ancestral Land will become the next Emperor Sheng."

"What does it take to obtain the approval of the Ancestral Land?"

"That's the crux of the problem. Emperor Sheng didn't say it clearly. The answer is actually very simple. The Ancestral Land hasn't been opened for many years. It's said that it's very dangerous inside. Even the Burning Sun Clan members can die inside. Moreover, the Ancestral Land is isolated from the outside world. Once you enter it, no one will know what happens! "

"In other words, the hidden meaning is that whoever walks out of the Ancestral Land alive will be recognized by the Ancestral Land?"

Gu Chen understood what was going on. Emperor Sheng was a ruthless man. He was clearly encouraging his two sons to kill each other.

"That's about it. Old Emperor Sheng set the rules. His Highness Wu Lie and the Crown Prince can each bring ten people into the Ancestral Land. These ten people can be found anywhere, but they can't be members of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe!"

The Crow General emphasized the last part of his sentence, as if he was afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't understand.

Gu Chen pondered for a moment and immediately understood why Wu Lie was so anxious.

Yan Yang was the Crown Prince, the legitimate successor to the throne. Why was Wu Lie able to gain the upper hand in the competition within Shengyang?

Gu Chen had once used the intelligence network of Honest Pavilion to learn about this matter. One of the biggest reasons was that Wu Lie had gained the support of the young master of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe!

The Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe had followed the Blazing Sun Tribe for generations. They had a hundred thousand Crow Generals and could be said to be the strongest military force in the Great Cheng Dynasty.

Whoever possessed this military force would naturally have the greatest right to speak.

The leader of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe was as old as Emperor Sheng. All these years, he didn't care about the affairs of the world and only cared about protecting Emperor Sheng.

As a result, the authority of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe fell into the hands of the young master, Crow Huan. Crow Huan and Wu Lie were sworn brothers!

The Blazing Sun Tribe had a small population, while the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe was much larger and more loyal. Therefore, many matters within Shengyang had to go through the hands of the Crow Generals.

If the Blazing Sun Tribe was the root of the tree, then the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe was the branch. Without either tribe, it would be difficult to maintain the rule of Great Cheng.

Gaining the support of the young master of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe was equivalent to gaining great influence. This was why Wu Lie dared to challenge the Flaming Sun Crown Prince.

The support of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe was even more important than the Mist Kingdom. Under Gu Chen's threat, Wu Lie could compromise and agree to disband the Mist Kingdom. However, if it was the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe, it would be impossible.

And now, Emperor Sheng had created a test that directly excluded Wu Lie's biggest backer, the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe. It was no wonder that he would do something desperate.

"Does that mean that Emperor Sheng is more inclined to let the Flaming Sun Crown Prince inherit the throne?" Gu Chen asked after some thought.

"You can't say that. The ancestral land of the Blazing Sun Tribe is also the ancestral land of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe. The Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe has a unique advantage there. If the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe enters, it will create another kind of unfairness. The effect of the test will also be greatly reduced.

"Most importantly, it was the order of the old master that Crow Generals are not allowed to participate. The old master hoped that our tribe would maintain a neutral position in the affairs of the royal family. This was a principle that he had always adhered to when he was in power.

"Although he doesn't care about worldly affairs now, since he has spoken, the young master does not dare to disobey."

Gu Chen fell into deep thought after listening to Commander Crow's explanation.

The old master of the Golden Crow Tribe had abdicated for so long. Previously, when Crow Huan and Wu Lie became sworn brothers, he didn't say anything. Now, he had come out to ask the Golden Crow Tribe to maintain a neutral position.

It would be strange if this wasn't the intention of Emperor Sheng. In his opinion, it was impossible to rule out the possibility that Emperor Sheng was more interested in the Flaming Sun Crown Prince.

If he could think of this, the other forces in the Sheng Yang Realm would have thought of it as well. It was likely that the situation in the Sheng Yang Realm was already very unfavorable to Wu Lie.

Commander Crow probably knew this as well. However, he was afraid that Shen Lian would back out, so he downplayed the seriousness of the situation.

If Emperor Sheng was really interested in the Flaming Sun Crown Prince, then the so-called test was a trap. Wu Lie was likely to die in the ancestral land.

The Flaming Sun Crown Prince might not be the only one who would make a move. In order to ensure a stable transition of power and to ensure that Great Cheng did not descend into chaos, Emperor Sheng might also make a move.

The logic that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs could not be used to measure the thoughts of an emperor!

Gu Chen knew very well that if his guess was correct, then going to the Sheng Yang Realm would be suicide.

No matter how strong he was, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed when faced with the power of a dynasty. His secret would definitely not be able to be hidden anymore!

"You mentioned the Qiankun Group just now. Is the Flaming Sun Crown Prince planning to bring people from the Qiankun Group into the ancestral land of the Scorching Sun Clan? Who from the Qiankun Group has arrived in Beijing? "

Gu Chen did not give a clear answer. He was concerned about another matter.

"That's right, Mr. Chen. According to reliable sources, one of the ten great General Stars of the Qiankun Group, the genius Sang Yan, has arrived in Beijing! This person's reputation in the Dark World is like thunder to the ears. His Highness does not dare to underestimate him. That's why he is here to invite Mr. Chen and the Chen Clan to take action! "

The Crow General Commander replied immediately with a solemn expression.

The two words General Stars carried too much weight. They were the real big shots in the Qiankun Group. They were worlds apart from the secret agents they had tried to assassinate!
