"I have no power in Shengyang. How can I help Brother Wu Lie if I go?"
Gu Chen's eyebrows moved slightly, and he had an intuition that this matter was not simple.
"this……"
Commander Crow glanced at the Clay Bodhisattva beside Gu Chen and stopped talking.
"Lord Commander, you can rest assured that there are no outsiders in Luoshui Palace."
Gu Chen saw what he meant and said calmly.
Commander Crow immediately lost his worries and said bluntly: "Mr. Chen, do you still remember the agreement you made with His Highness Wu Lie? Mr. Chen once said that if the masters of the Qiankun Society come to your door, the Chen clan will solve the trouble for His Highness!"
"If I remember correctly, the premise of the original agreement was that Brother Wu Lie cooperated in setting up an ambush, right?" Gu Chen admitted without a word.
"Yes, it is true, but the current situation is special. If Mr. Chen does not help, I am afraid His Highness Wu Lie will lose. And once Your Highness loses, Mr. Chen will inevitably be liquidated by the Qiankun Society and Prince Yanyang."
"His Highness Wu Lie asked me to tell Mr. Chen on your behalf that we are both at loggerheads. In this situation, Mr. Chen cannot find any excuses to shirk or refuse!"
Although Commander Crow's tone was polite, Gu Chen could hear the anxiety in Wu Lie's heart when he conveyed these words. It could even be said that he was too anxious to jump over the wall.
"Is the situation so bad? Didn't Brother Wu Lie previously have an advantage in Shengyang?" Gu Chen said in confusion.
"We did have the upper hand before, but as soon as Old Shenghuang opened his mouth, all the advantages disappeared." Commander Crow sighed.
"What's going on? What is the content of the test?" Gu Chen frowned and asked carefully.
"Lao Shenghuang asked His Highness Wu Lie and Prince Yanyang to enter the Lieyang Clan's ancestral land together. Whoever can gain the recognition of the ancestral land can become the next Shenghuang."
"What does it take to gain recognition from your ancestral land?"
"The crux of the problem is here. Old Emperor Sheng didn't say it clearly. In this way, the answer is actually very simple. The ancestral land has not been opened for many years. It is said that there are many dangers inside. Even the Lieyang tribe members will die in it.
Not surprising. And the ancestral land is isolated from the outside world. Once you enter it, no one knows what will happen!"
"In other words, the underlying meaning is that whoever leaves the ancestral land alive has gained the recognition of the ancestral land?"
Gu Chen probably understood that this old Emperor Sheng was really a cruel man, and he clearly encouraged his two sons to kill each other.
"That's probably what it means. Emperor Lao Sheng has set a rule. His Highness Wu Lie and the Crown Prince can each bring ten people into the ancestral land. These ten people can be found from anywhere, but they cannot be members of my Three-legged Golden Crow Clan!"
The commander of Crow General emphasized the last word, as if he was afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't understand.
Gu Chen thought about it for a while and suddenly understood why Wu Lie was so anxious.
Yanyang is the prince and the orthodox heir to the throne. Why can Wulie have the upper hand in the competition in Shengyang?
Gu Chen had used the intelligence network of Wuwang Pavilion to learn about this matter. One of the biggest reasons was that Wu Lie had the support of the young chief of the Three-legged Golden Crow Tribe!
The Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan has followed the Lieyang Clan for generations, and the one hundred thousand crow generals within their clan can be said to be the strongest military force in the Dasheng Dynasty.
Whoever possesses this force will naturally have a great say.
The patriarch of the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan is as old as the old Emperor Sheng. In these years, he has almost ignored worldly affairs and only focused on protecting the old Emperor Sheng.
As a result, the power of the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan fell into the hands of the young clan leader Ya Huan, and Ya Huan and Wu Lie were close friends!
You must know that the Lieyang tribe has a small population, while the Three-legged Golden Crow tribe is much larger and loyal, so many things in Shengyang, large and small, need to go through the hands of the Crow General.
If the Lieyang tribe is the root of the big tree, then the Three-legged Golden Crow tribe is the branches of the big tree. No matter which tribe is missing, Dasheng's rule will be difficult to maintain.
Having the support of the young clan leader of the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan meant that he had huge influence. This was the confidence that Wu Lie dared to challenge Prince Yanyang.
The support of the Three-Legged Golden Crow Tribe is even more important than that of the Lan Kingdom. Under Gu Chen's threat, Wu Lie could compromise and agree to dismember the Lan Country, but it would be absolutely impossible if it were replaced by the Three-Legged Golden Crow Tribe.
But now, Emperor Lao Sheng has set out a test, directly excluding Wu Lie's biggest backer, the Three-legged Golden Crow, from the test. It's no wonder that he jumped over the wall in a hurry.
"So, Emperor Lao Sheng prefers Prince Yanyang to inherit the throne?" Gu Chen thought after thinking.
"It cannot be said that the ancestral land of the Lieyang Clan is also the ancestral land of our Three-legged Golden Crow Clan. Our Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan has a unique advantage in it. If the Three-Legged Golden Crow Clan's people enter, this will create another kind of insecurity.
If it is fair, the effect of the test will be greatly reduced."
"The most important thing is that the Crow General is not allowed to participate. This is actually an order given by the old patriarch of our tribe. The old patriarch hopes that our tribe will remain neutral on royal matters. This is a principle he has always adhered to when he was in power."
"Although he doesn't care about secular affairs now, since he has spoken, the young patriarch does not dare to disobey it."
Commander Crow explained, and Gu Chen fell into deep thought as he listened.
The old patriarch of the Golden Crow tribe has abdicated for so long. He didn't say anything when Ya Huan and Wu Lie became sworn brothers before. Now it's good that he came out to ask the Golden Crow tribe to remain neutral.
It would be strange if there was no instruction from Emperor Lao Sheng. In his opinion, he could not rule out the possibility that Emperor Lao Sheng was more interested in Prince Yanyang.
He could think of this, and the various forces in Shengyang would not have thought of it. I am afraid that the wind direction in Shengyang is already very unfavorable to Wu Lie at this time.
The crow general commander may also know this, but he is just afraid that he will retreat, so he downplays the seriousness of the situation.
If Emperor Lao Sheng really loves Prince Yanyang, then the so-called test is just a game, and Wu Lie will most likely die in the ancestral land.
It is not necessarily only Prince Yanyang who takes action. In order to ensure a smooth transition of power and to ensure that Dasheng does not fall into chaos, Emperor Lao Sheng may also take action.
The logic that a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds cannot be used to measure the emperor's thoughts!
Gu Chen knew very well that if this guess was correct, then he would be risking his own death by going to Shengyang Realm.
No matter how powerful he is, it will be difficult for him to escape unscathed from the power of an dynasty, and his secrets can never be hidden any longer!
"You just mentioned the Qiankun Society. Does Prince Yanyang plan to bring the people of the Qiankun Society into the Lieyang Clan's ancestral land? As for the Qiankun Society, who came to Shengjing?"
Gu Chen did not give a clear answer and was concerned about another thing.
"Yes, Mr. Chen, according to reliable information, the genius Sangyan, one of the top ten generals of the Qiankun Society, has arrived in Shengjing! This person's reputation in the dark world is so great that His Highness does not dare to underestimate him, so he came to invite Mr. Chen. Please
The Chen clan takes action!"
The crow general replied immediately, with a serious look on his face.
The word "Jiang Xing" carries too much weight. He is a real big shot in the Qiankun Society. He is completely different from the secret agents they assassinated before!
