Chapter 1914

Only Gu Chen, Ye Wunian, and Ye Mi were left in the hall.

"Why are you here, Pavilion Master Ye?"

Gu Chen said, looking at the father and daughter with a much colder gaze than usual.

Such a big change happened in the six states, but he was kept in the dark. Besides Ye Wunian, who else had the ability to do this?

As the Pavilion Master of Honesty Pavilion, it was only a matter of a word for him to stop the people in Honesty Pavilion from providing him with information, or even false information.

The intelligence agency of Pei State was much weaker than that of Honesty Pavilion. As long as Honesty Pavilion wanted to, it was not difficult to cut off this channel.

All the shocking information was sent to him at the same time today, and Ye Wunian came to him at the right time. Obviously, he did not come with good intentions!

Gu Chen had long been wary of Ye Wunian and knew that he was ambitious. But to be honest, he did not quite understand what was going on.

When did Ye Wunian collude with the Flaming Sun Crown Prince?

If he had colluded with the Flaming Sun Crown Prince or the Qiankun Group, why did he help him before?

"I'm here to help you," Ye Wunian answered.

Hearing this, Gu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly, "Pavilion Master Ye, what can I do for you?"

"Now that the Flaming Sun Crown Prince has gained the support of the six states, he is the rightful emperor of Dacheng. Pei State is facing the threat of three states at the same time, isolated and without help. Even with your ability, you are unable to turn the situation around. "

Ye Wunian shook his head and sighed. Beside him, Ye Mi lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Chen directly.

She had just learned about the Flaming Sun Crown Prince and the six states from her adoptive father.

Before this, the whole thing was kept from her, which showed that her adoptive father did not trust her.

After he told her these things, he asked her to bring him to Gu Chen. She still did not understand what he wanted to do next.

She only felt guilty. There had been signs of this, but she had hidden it from Gu Chen with the mentality of a fluke, causing him to suffer a crushing defeat!

"Pavilion Master Ye is right. It's all thanks to you and Miss Ye that things have come to this."

Gu Chen smiled. He didn't have a bad expression on his face, but there was a teasing tone in his voice.

It was beyond Ye Wunian's expectation that he could still talk and laugh so freely. Hearing this, Ye Mi realized that Gu Chen had already determined that she had betrayed him. Her heart ached inexplicably, but she was unable to explain anything.

Judging from the outcome, she was indeed the one who had betrayed him. Any explanation would be futile!

"Victory and defeat are common in war. You have always been outstanding, and I had planned to support you. However, it's hard to defy the general trend. In order to restore peace to Great Cheng as soon as possible, I'll have to trouble you. "

Ye Wunian sighed with emotion. "I'll just tell you why I'm here. I came back to Peidu to act as a lobbyist for the Flaming Sun Crown Prince."

"You also know that the Dacheng Dynasty is the headquarters of the Pavilion of Honesty. If it falls into a long period of war, it will not be a good thing for the Pavilion of Honesty. The Flaming Sun Crown Prince has given me enough benefits. As long as I can convince you and the Pei Kingdom to recognize his position as Emperor Sheng, I'm willing to do so. "

"That simple?"

Gu Chen was amused. He might be able to fool others with these words, but he wasn't stupid.

Ye Wunian was the number one suspect in the murder of the old Emperor Sheng. He was the one who wanted the dynasty to fall into chaos the most. Why would he try to recruit him for the sake of so-called peace?

The Flaming Sun Crown Prince had given him enough benefits. This could very well be true. However, Gu Chen still couldn't understand how great the benefits were for him to choose to give up on him and not give him a single chance.

"Of course it's not that simple. The Qiankun Group originally wanted your life, but they changed their mind after I tried my best to speak up for you."

"After some discussion, they said that they could spare your life, but you have to leave the Pei Kingdom and stop interfering in its affairs," Ye Wunian spoke with fervor and assurance.

Seeing that Gu Chen's expression had turned cold, he sighed and comforted him. "I know that it would be unfair for you to leave the Pei Kingdom. For the sake of the interests of the Pavilion of Honesty, it wouldn't be right for you to lose your painstaking efforts in the Pei Kingdom. Therefore, I will give you appropriate compensation."

"Oh? What kind of compensation? "Gu Chen looked surprised.

"As long as you leave the Pei Kingdom obediently, I will marry Mi 'er to you. At the same time, I will promote you to the Deputy Pavilion Leader of the Pavilion of Honesty. This position didn't exist before. It was set up for you. You should understand my intentions.

"I think very highly of you. I hope that the Pavilion of Honesty will be handed over to you in the future. How about that? The position of the Deputy Pavilion Leader of the Pavilion of Honesty is comparable to the control of a mere Pei Kingdom, right? "

After Ye Wunian finished speaking, Mi 'er looked shocked. She didn't expect her godfather to ask Gu Chen to marry her. The position of the Deputy Pavilion Leader of the Pavilion of Honesty was even more difficult. If her godfather could really do what he said, the conditions were indeed not bad!

Gu Chen was also a little surprised by Ye Wunian's offer. His expression was uncertain.

"What if I refuse?" he asked tentatively.

"The situation of the seven kingdoms has already been decided. If you refuse, then the people of the Pei Kingdom will be plunged into misery and suffering. It might even be in danger of being destroyed. I know you're strong, but the war between kingdoms cannot be easily changed by individual bravery. In the end, you'll become a stray dog with nothing to gain. "

"You've seen the situation these days. As long as I want to, I can turn you blind at any time. Without intelligence, any of your strategies will be meaningless."

"A wise man submits to circumstances. You should understand what's most beneficial to you."

Ye Wunian said indifferently.

Gu Chen's expression darkened. He had made it very clear that Ye Wunian was threatening him!

If he refused to accept the position of the Deputy Pavilion Leader of the Pavilion of Honesty and leave the Pei Kingdom, he would have nothing!

The other party was obviously determined to take him down. He believed that in the current situation, he had no chance of turning the tables!

A murderous aura arose in Gu Chen's heart. He had the urge to take down Ye Wunian immediately, but he restrained himself in the end.

Ye Wunian was right. Under the collaboration of the Qiankun Group and the Pavilion of Honesty, the situation was very disadvantageous to him. Even if he killed Ye Wunian now, it wouldn't change anything.

Moreover, there must be something fishy about why Ye Wunian would cooperate with the Qiankun Group. He couldn't be at ease without figuring out the specific situation!

Gu Chen's expression changed for a while. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Pavilion Leader Ye, can you give me a few days to think about it?"

Ye Wunian wasn't surprised by Gu Chen's hesitation. As the saying goes, one never gives up until all hope is lost. The other party had plotted for so long in the Pei Kingdom. How many people could accept the sudden collapse?

"Okay, you can take your time to think about it. But you have to understand that the longer you delay, the worse the situation will be, and more people will die. I'll stay in Peidu these few days and wait for your good news. "

Ye Wunian turned and left after he finished speaking. Ye Mi hesitated for a while.

"Why? You can't bear to leave your husband? You'll have more time to spend together in the future, "Ye Wunian teased.

Ye Wunian teased. Hearing this, Ye Mi gritted his teeth and left with his adoptive father.
