Wu Lie's words were full of probing meaning, but Gu Chen just smiled when he heard the words. "Let's not talk about your and my background today. I came here with the intention of making friends with His Highness the Second Prince."
Wu Lie cursed in his heart, if you didn't have the Chen clan as your backer, how could I sit down and have a good talk with you?
After thinking about it, he showed a friendly smile on the surface. "If Chen Daoyou really thinks so, I am also happy to make friends. Since you want to put aside your identity and background, don't call me His Highness the Second Prince anymore."
"Okay, then Chen, I'll call you Brother Wulie. I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine." Gu Chen raised the glass and drank it down in one gulp, his attitude was polite but unrestrained.
Wu Lie's eyes suddenly flashed, and he laughed and returned the toast. "Brother Chen is so polite."
The two of them soon seemed to be chatting happily, and it was hard to imagine the previous confrontation at the banquet.
Tang Xuance was secretly vigilant. He had only noticed Prince Wu Lie's domineering and strength before, but today he realized that his rough appearance was very deep.
Thinking about it, if he only knew how to use power to suppress others, he would have been defeated in the battle for Dasheng's throne long ago. How could he be as prosperous as he is today?
"Since we are friends, why don't we talk about some things openly and honestly, so as to make brother Wu Lie's heart easier." Gu Chen entered the topic while chatting.
"Oh? I wonder what Brother Chen wants to say?" Wu Lie smiled broadly and looked like he was listening attentively.
"I owed a favor to the Pei King's royal family in the early years, and now they have come to me. I can't help them. Therefore, I would like to ask Brother Wu Lie to show your kindness and let them go." Gu Chen made nonsense.
Wu Lie's face turned cold immediately. It's strange that he believed this. If Pei Wang's royal family was really kind to this guy, why would they kneel down and plead to him?
This is obviously just an excuse, an excuse to interfere in Peiguo's affairs. This guy is really uneasy and kind-hearted when he comes to visit today!
"Brother Chen is joking. The Liu family has supreme royal power in the Pei Kingdom. How can I threaten them?" The other party talked nonsense, and Wu Lie simply ignored him.
"Don't speak secretly in front of Mingren. I know what Brother Wu Lie is thinking. I will not make it difficult for Brother Wu Lie. As long as Brother Wu Lie is willing to let Liu go, I will naturally show corresponding sincerity." Gu Chen said nervously.
Then he said.
"Oh? I wonder what kind of sincerity Brother Chen can give?" Wu Lie remained calm.
"Since Brother Wu Lie is optimistic that the seventh prince will inherit the throne of Pei, after discussing with Mr. Liu, I think the seventh prince is indeed a good candidate."
As soon as Gu Chen said these words, Wu Lie was stunned.
The crow general standing next to Wu Lie understood what he was saying, and his eyes showed deep disdain.
I thought this person was so great, but I didn’t expect that he actually surrendered today!
Wu Lie came back to his senses, glanced at Tang Xuance, and saw that his expression was solemn, but he did not refute his words, which showed that this was not Chen Yi's joke.
"Brother Chen really gave me a generous gift. I feel the sincerity."
Wu Lie was very happy. If the problem of Pei Country could be solved so easily, it would be the best thing for him.
"Of course, since the Liu family has compromised on the issue of succession to the throne, I hope that Brother Wu Lie can make corresponding concessions to give me some face." Gu Chen changed the topic.
"Of course I'm willing to give Brother Chen some face, let's talk about it." Wu Lie looked at Gu Chen now and was quite pleased with him, feeling that he really wanted to make friends.
"I hope that after the Seventh Prince comes to power, Brother Wulie will stop interfering in the affairs of the Pei Kingdom."
Gu Chen said seriously. Wu Lie wanted to promise immediately, but was interrupted by him. "I hope Brother Wu Lie will take this issue seriously. The method of doing things behind the scenes will not work with me. If you agree to it later
If you do it again, you and I will look very bad."
Wu Lie's smile gradually faded.
He thought that the other party had given in to him and wanted to get off the ground, so he was willing to say anything nice to him just now.
However, after carefully chewing on his words, I found that the other party did not want a step up, but really asked him not to interfere in Pei's political affairs anymore, and I couldn't laugh anymore.
"Brother Chen, are you kidding me?" Wu Lie's face turned ugly and his tone was a bit sinister.
The reason why he hoped that the seventh prince would inherit the throne was because he believed that he was the weakest and could be bullied. His ascending to the throne would help him successfully control the political affairs of Pei State.
However, Gu Chen asked him not to interfere in the political affairs of Pei State. If he agreed, what would be the meaning of his original plan to succeed the seventh prince? Wasn't the series of tricks he did in Pei State all in vain?
We are all smart people, so we can't understand the stakes involved, so he felt that what the other party said before was basically playing a trick on him!
"Brother Wu Lie misunderstood, I am sincere in resolving this matter." Gu Chen said calmly.
"You're so sincere? Do you think I'm a fool?" Wu Lie's eyes turned cold and he winked at the crow general next to him.
The commander of Crow General immediately understood, took a step forward, and shouted loudly. "You dare to play tricks on my lord, you can't be arrogant here!"
After he said that, he started to take action, intending to test the opponent's base.
However, as soon as he took one step, he felt his whole body tighten and he seemed to be unable to move!
His expression changed, and he tried to break free from this sense of restraint, but he felt that the power pouring out of his body was like a cow in the mud, and it was difficult to resist the mysterious power that descended on his body!
"The body-holding technique?" He was surprised and couldn't believe it.
The other party was a member of the Chen clan, so he was naturally on guard against the opponent's body-holding technique from the beginning. However, the body-holding technique was even weirder than he imagined. There was clearly no sign of the other party using the technique, so how could he just follow it?
Already?
Commander Crow's heart sank, he was so embarrassed now!
Wu Lie saw that Commander Crow had not taken action for a long time, his face was dim and uncertain, and his expression became even more embarrassing for a while.
He was taken down before he even had time to take action? Is the Chen clan's body-holding technique really that powerful?
As uncomfortable as swallowing a fly, Wu Lie's heart was full of anger, but he could not vent it.
"Brother Wu Lie, why are you so impatient? I know that you don't really want Peiguo, you just want to increase your bargaining chip in the fight for the throne. In this case, I believe that an alliance between you and us is the best choice. Why bother to fight and tear each other apart?
Are you embarrassed? I believe Brother Wu Lie will not understand the truth that cooperation can benefit both parties."
Gu Chen spoke without hesitation, and his "body-holding technique" made his words seem very weighty, and Wu Lie also listened carefully.
"Alliance? How can I believe that the Liu family of Peiguo can truly ally with me? Why should I choose to trust others when I have the power in my own hands? I don't want the opportunity to stab others in the back!" Wu Lie said gloomily.
Face said.
"It's not an alliance with the Liu family, but an alliance with me." Gu Chen said meaningfully.
"You? How can I trust you, a guy who comes out halfway and doesn't know what he's doing?" Wu Lie laughed angrily, slapped the table and stood up.
