Chapter 1948

"Since it was a misunderstanding, why don't fellow daoists let me go now? And my clan's useless junior, if we can return them together, it will show the sincerity of fellow daoists."

The middle-aged man immediately followed Gu Chen's words.

"Like I said, the misunderstanding must be explained clearly. I don't even know your name, so be more careful. Can you understand?"

Gu Chenpi replied with a nonchalant smile, how could he just let the other party go?

"It's meaningless to go around and around, why don't fellow daoists just be more straightforward?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, as if he was tired of arguing with Gu Chen, his face suddenly became serious.

"Fellow Daoist avoids other people talking with me here in private, thinking about it, I feel jealous. You know very well that I have something in my hands that can ruin your business in Dasheng, so I didn't kill me directly. "

"Speaking of which, there is no point in killing me. I, the Chen Clan, have been secretly investigating you for a long time, and I am not the only one who knows the inside story. Once I die, the people of my clan will immediately guess what happened. Shi must be with fellow Taoist you forever."

"In that case, you and I will lose both. Why bother? It's better to take a step back."

Gu Chen looked at the middle-aged man who was talking eloquently, but couldn't see any joy or anger, and asked, "Oh? I don't know how to take a step back?"

"Simple, fellow daoist let me go and let me take away the younger generation of the clan, and I promise you that I will never reveal your secret, fellow daoist."

"Empty words have no proof, how do I know that your Excellency will not go back on what you said afterwards?"

"Yes, you can't be sure, but you can only choose to believe me! The longer I'm locked up here, the more likely my people will act impulsively. By then, the news will spread, but it will be too late!"

The middle-aged man looked like he was kindly reminding, and kept his eyes on Gu Chen's expression changes, but found it difficult to read any useful information from his facial expressions.

"Even if I'm willing to take a step back, I'm afraid I can't do it."

After a pause for a while, Gu Chen shook his head.

"Why?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows.

"Because Chen Huandong is already dead, and he happened to bump into me conspiring with the Great Prophet of Luomen, so how can he survive?"

"If I had known that the paper could not contain the fire, and the Chen family had known the secret, I would not have killed him. At least I would have saved him to negotiate with you."

There was a little regret on Gu Chen's face, and the middle-aged man's face suddenly became cloudy when he heard that.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Chen spoke again with a serious face.

"Since the matter has already happened, I still hope that the nobles can look forward and put their interests first. What you said earlier is very reasonable. I am willing to let you go and give the Chen family some compensation."

The middle-aged man struggled slightly, and said, "How do you make it up?"

"Peichao has a vast territory. If the Chen family is willing to form an alliance with me, it's okay to give up half of the territory." Gu Chen said surprisingly.

"Is this true?"

The middle-aged man was startled, and quickly realized that his words were wrong, and changed his words: "My Chen family has been hiding from the world for many years, and I have no idea of ​​expanding my territory."

"Although the Chen family hides from the world, it is not so easy to maintain the expenses of a huge family. They always have their own interests, right? Peichao is willing to open the door of convenience and carry out in-depth cooperation with the Chen family in all aspects." Gu Chen said generously.

"This……"

The middle-aged man suddenly fell into hesitation, and after a moment of consideration, he replied: "This matter is of great importance. I cannot make the decision alone. I must discuss it with the clan!"

When Gu Chen heard this answer, he immediately laughed, and his smile became quite sinister!

From the very beginning, he has been making routines. Although the other party is cunning and cautious, he still showed his feet in the end.

He lied to him that he killed Chen Huandong because he knew about his conspiracy with the Great Prophet, but the other party was only shocked by the death of his younger generation, and did not refute the secret he revealed.

This shows that the other party did not grasp his handle as claimed at all, and he did not know the really terrible information at all!

It would be a bit reckless to make such a judgment just because the other party did not refute, so Gu Chen deliberately misled him, saying that he would compensate the Chen family.

Not to mention Chen Huandong's status in the Chen clan, if the other party really knew something about the Qiankun Society and the rebel army, they would never dare to let the Chen clan cooperate with him.

Of course, it may be expedient for the other party to say that they want to discuss with the clan, the purpose is to let him let him go.

However, Gu Chen has been watching his words, and when he said that he would give up half of Pei Chao's benefits, the surprise in the other party's eyes cannot be faked.

May I ask that Pei Chao's interests are not small, but the matter of Qian Kun's refinery and the alliance with the rebel army, which one is not fatal?

If they got involved in this muddy water, the Chen family would perish. Such a huge risk only got half of Pei Chao's benefits. Why was the other party so shocked?

All indications indicated that even if the Chen clan investigated themselves, they were far from the real vital points!

And the reason why the other party dared to scare people before was probably because he was too cautious.

Because I was worried that the Chen family would find out something, I threw the mouse at the mouse, interrogated alone and made insinuations, but let the other party see that I was guilty, so I cheated.

This middle-aged man has a keen sense of smell and is experienced in dealing with things. I don't know how much better than that Chen Huandong.

If he really believed his words and let him go, I'm afraid there was nothing wrong with him, and he would find out something!

After finding out the details of the other party, the worries in Gu Chen's heart almost disappeared all of a sudden.

This person's status in the Chen clan must not be low, what he knows is very limited, let alone other Chen clan members?

It's probably not that complicated for him to sneak into Luoshui Palace, maybe he just wanted to find the missing junior.

Since the other party doesn't know his secret at all, but has become suspicious now, and may even guess the existence of the Yinlong Clan, he must not be let go!

Gu Chen's eyes froze for a moment, and there was an undisguised murderous look on his body.

Killing an important high-ranking member of the Chen family will inevitably lead to a rift with the Chen family, but so what?

Compared with those secrets exposed, if you are hated by the Chen family, you can hate it!

The middle-aged man sensed Gu Chen's murderous aura, his face changed suddenly, and he realized that there must be something wrong with his words just now, and the other party saw through it!

He knew early on that it would be risky to put on airs, but he has already become a prisoner, and no one can save him but himself!

"Fellow daoist, calm down! Dao court envoys may visit Luoshui Palace at any time, killing me now will only cause trouble!"

The middle-aged man retreated to the corner while talking, lest Gu Chen would kill him without saying a word.

"Killing you now will prevent future troubles forever."

Gu Chen responded indifferently, and was about to raise one hand to smash the opponent's sky cap.

"Chen Daoyou, please keep your hands. How about handing him over to the old man?"

A voice came suddenly!
