823. Chapter 823 Gu Lie summons (1/2)

In the early morning, Xiao Yan stood outside the house, stretched his body comfortably in the bright sunshine, and looked at the dazzling sun in the sky, and doubts emerged in his mind.

I heard from Xun'er that the ancient world was a space opened up by the ancient clan strongmen, so where did this sun come from? Is it the same sun as the sun outside the ancient world? Or did the ancient clan strongmen create another one? Although Xiao Yan had such doubts, he quickly put this insignificant question behind his mind and smiled helplessly.

I have a lot of things to do at hand, so I don't have time to think about such things.

"So where should I go today."

Xiao Yan murmured in a low voice while moving his body. Gu Yuan has not responded to the news about the alliance so far, and it has only been two or three days since Xiao Yan's inflammation, so it is not good to ask again. If you give the other party a feeling that you are very anxious, it will be bad, and you will definitely be at a disadvantage when it comes to the real alliance.

Another thing Xiao Yan learned from his reincarnation is that in negotiations, whoever gets anxious first loses half the battle. The weaker the party is, the more they need to stay calm.

Just bear with it slowly. Anyway, Xiao Yan didn't expect that the alliance with the ancient clan could be concluded in a short time. Fortunately, he asked Zijing to inform Xiao Yixian and the others in advance. At least he wouldn't worry them during his stay in the ancient clan.

As for going to the street again, Xiao Yan didn't have the interest today. He had nothing to do in the past two days and had walked around the main city of the ancient clan. Except for the trouble caused by Lingquan at the beginning, everything was quite peaceful afterwards.

"Boring"

Xiao Yan raised his head slightly and looked at the white clouds floating in the blue sky, and then his eyebrows suddenly raised, as if he realized something.

He had been busy with various things before and didn't feel it. Now that he was idle, Xiao Yan found it so uncomfortable. He couldn't help but wonder if he was the kind of person who couldn't be idle?

Just as Xiao Yan was thinking this, he sensed a familiar breath, raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his eyes to the street beside him. From a distance, he saw Gu Qinghan walking slowly towards here, raising his hand to greet him.

"Xiao Yan, good morning."

"Good morning~" Xiao Yan also smiled and waved in response, looking at Gu Qinghan who came in front of him, "Don't you have anything to do today? I thought you were very busy in the Gu clan before."

Gu Qinghan was stunned at first, and then smiled and waved his hand.

"No, it's just that Lord Gu Lie gave me a few days off these two days, so I'm relatively free. Under normal circumstances, even if there is nothing to do, I have to train the Black Annihilation Army." Gu Qinghan said this, and then changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Yan, do you have anything to do today?"

"Nothing, I'm also worried about what to do today."

Xiao Yan shrugged helplessly, and Gu Qinghan nodded in understanding.

"In that case, can you come with me? Lord Gu Lie wants to see you."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows in doubt, not quite understanding what the Black Annihilation King Gu Lie, who had only met him once, wanted to see him for.

But thinking that he had nothing to do today, Xiao Yan did not refuse and nodded slightly. Then Gu Qinghan smiled and led Xiao Yan to Gu Lie's mansion. On the way, Gu Qinghan also briefly described Gu Lie's basic information to Xiao Yan.

Gu Lie, the supreme commander of the Black Annihilation Army, is in charge of all the right to speak in the Black Annihilation Army. He is an early eight-star Dou Sheng and has been the King of Black Annihilation for more than a hundred years.

He is dignified and serious. Even when facing the elders of the Gu Clan and Gu Yuan, he has an iron-blooded temperament. He rarely participates in any policy of the Gu Clan on weekdays. To put it bluntly, he is a special trainer of the Gu Clan.

After listening to Gu Qinghan's brief narration, Xiao Yan nodded in understanding, and then the doubts in his eyes deepened a bit.

From this point of view, it seems that Gu Lie has no reason to call him over alone? After all, this time he came to the ancient tribe as an envoy of the Tianhe League. Why would Gu Lie, the Black Annihilation King who hardly participated in the affairs of the ancient tribe, call him over alone?

Gu Qinghan has been with Xiao Yan for several years. He can see what Xiao Yan is thinking at a glance and explains.

"It's mainly because Lord Gu Lie wants to apologize to you in person because of what happened the day before yesterday."

"The day before yesterday? Ah~ Those Black Annihilation Army who caused trouble for me?" Xiao Yan was stunned at first, and soon his face was clear, but then he felt strange again, "It's not necessary to come to me specifically to apologize for such a small matter, right? I should have minimized the impact of this incident as much as possible at that time."

"That's true, but there are some inside stories that you don't know. Anyway, Lord Gu Lie will explain it to you in person later."

After hearing what Gu Qinghan said, Xiao Yan stopped asking questions. Soon, the two of them came to Gu Lie's mansion one after another. Gu Qinghan stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting.

"Master Gu Lie, Xiao Yan is here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Hearing the response from inside, Gu Qinghan pushed open the door of the mansion and led Xiao Yan into the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Xiao Yan looked around the courtyard. Although it was not cheap from the decoration, it seemed too simple when combined with Gu Lie's identity as the Black Annihilation King. It can be seen that Gu Lie himself should not be the kind of person who indulges in enjoyment.

And Xiao Yan felt very clearly that as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, an indescribable pressure weighed heavily on his heart. This feeling had never been felt when he first came to the Gu Clan to meet Gu Yuan and the elders of the Gu Clan.

Xiao Yan followed Gu Qinghan into the depths of the courtyard and saw Gu Lie standing in the middle of the courtyard with his back to them. Gu Qinghan tactfully stepped aside. Xiao Yan felt the pressure emanating from Gu Lie and could not help but feel heavy-hearted. He stepped forward and clasped his hands together and said solemnly.

"Junior Xiao Yan, I meet Senior Gu Lie."

Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Gu Lie glanced at him slightly, his face was neither happy nor sad, just staring at Xiao Yan quietly, which made Xiao Yan feel a great pressure invisibly.

"Sit."

Gu Lie gently spread his hands and uttered a single word, and then took the lead to sit down in front of the stone table in the courtyard. Xiao Yan also bowed and came to sit in front of Gu Lie. Gu Qinghan turned and entered the house, leaving Xiao Yan and Gu Lie sitting in the courtyard and looking at each other.

The breeze blew on his face, accompanied by the pleasant chirping of birds, bringing a comfortable coolness. However, Xiao Yan had no time to enjoy the cool weather. He was already wondering why Gu Lie had called him here. Now Gu Lie was staring at him without saying a word, which made Xiao Yan feel very stressed.

Gu Qinghan had said before that Gu Lie hardly participated in the policy, but it was only almost. According to Xiao Yan's past experience of gathering the power of Zhongzhou, the almost pure fighting faction among such forces was the most difficult to deal with.

Whether it was Gu Yuan or the elders of the Gu clan, as long as Xiao Yan could come up with a reason that could make the other party accept the alliance, Xiao Yan would have great hope in his heart.

However, Xiao Yan really had no way to deal with the fighting faction like Gu Lie. After all, the thinking of the fighting faction was simpler and more direct than that of the person in charge. When Xiao Yan gathered the power of Zhongzhou before, he had encountered a lot of trouble caused by the fighting faction.

These fighters may oppose you because you have offended them. They may just be against you because they feel unhappy. It is even possible that they oppose you because of a word or an action of yours, or because they feel uncomfortable with your face.

Rather than saying that they have no logic, it is better to say that their logic is too simple, so simple that it does not give you any room for maneuver.

As time passed, Xiao Yan's heart became more and more tense, and even under his clothes, he was ready to run away at any time.

Although Xiao Yan did not think that Gu Lie would directly attack him, as I said just now, the logic of these fighters is so simple that it is not impossible for them to directly attack you because they are unhappy with you for some small things.

These years of experience have made Xiao Yan understand that reasoning is based on the willingness of both parties to talk. If the other party is unwilling to talk, no matter how reasonable you are, it is useless.

Gu Lie also noticed Xiao Yan's tense body, but he ignored it and continued to stare at Xiao Yan quietly without saying a word.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qinghan, who had entered the room earlier, came out with a tea tray and placed it on the stone table in front of the two of them. He poured a cup of tea in front of Xiao Yan and Gu Lie, and then stood beside Gu Lie with his hands behind his back.

Perhaps it was Gu Qinghan's arrival that made Xiao Yan feel a little relieved. He subconsciously felt that Gu Qinghan would definitely not harm him, and his body was also much more relaxed. Gu Lie finally ended the long silence, stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly put it down and spoke in a deep voice.

"Xiao Yan, we have already met on the day you came to the Ancient Clan, so I won't introduce myself. I called you here today mainly for two things."

Then, in the stunned eyes of Xiao Yan, Gu Lie stood up and bowed gently to Xiao Yan.

"As the supreme commander of the Black Annihilation Army, I solemnly apologize for offending you earlier."

"Uh!"

Xiao Yan never expected that Gu Lie, a man who was so powerful without anger, would actually bow his head and apologize to him. Should I say it was shocking or terrifying? Xiao Yan was stunned for two or three seconds, and then hurriedly stood up.

"Senior Gu Lie, there is no need to do this. It was not under your instruction. Why do you..."

"I am the commander of the Black Annihilation Army and should be responsible for any behavior of the Black Annihilation Army."

Gu Lie interrupted Xiao Yan, making Xiao Yan look a little confused.

To be honest, this matter seemed trivial even to him, the person involved, let alone Gu Lie. Was it necessary to apologize to him so solemnly? At this time, Gu Lie gave Gu Qinghan a look, and Gu Qinghan looked at Xiao Yan and explained.

"In fact, the Black Annihilation Army led by Lingquan who troubled you that day did not act spontaneously, or not completely spontaneously." Gu Qinghan frowned and said coldly: "Because their leader, Yang Hao, the former third leader of the Black Annihilation Army, is jealous of you, and deliberately concealed your strength, causing Lingquan and others to trouble you, with the purpose of making it impossible for you to stay in the Ancient Clan."

When Gu Qinghan said this, Xiao Yan's face suddenly changed.

Xiao Yan has been the leader of a force for so many years, and his thinking is no longer as dull as when he was a rookie. He immediately understood Yang Hao's intention, which was clearly to disgust him with the lives of his subordinates! No wonder, no wonder Lingquan dared to trouble him, it's not that this person is brainless, but that he was used as a gun!

If Xiao Yan originally regarded this matter as a minor episode that didn't need to be paid attention to, Gu Qinghan's explanation directly made Xiao Yan angry.

And there is no doubt that the target of this anger was directly directed at Yang Hao.

Your subordinates trusted you so much, but you were so heartless as to disregard their lives. If Xiao Yan had been in a bad mood that day, not to mention the troubles you would have encountered later, Ling Quan would have died in your hands because of your boss's ugly jealousy!

"Senior Gu Lie, where is Yang Hao now?"

Xiao Yan's face was cold, and he asked Gu Lie bluntly. Gu Lie looked at Xiao Yan's undisguised anger and could clearly feel what made him angry. He felt a good impression of Xiao Yan and said.

"Don't be angry. I have already given Yang Hao the punishment he deserves. You will never see him again in this life."

Gu Lie's words were so gloomy and terrifying that Xiao Yan immediately understood the result of Yang Hao's punishment. His face couldn't help but relax a little, which made Gu Lie raise his eyebrows curiously.

"It seems that you have no opinion on my punishment?"

"Why should you have an opinion?"

Faced with Gu Lie's question, Xiao Yan asked back, and Gu Lie glanced at Gu Qinghan.

"I heard from Qinghan that in the past few years, when you were gathering the power of Zhongzhou, you always adopted the means of peace first and force second. I guess you are a gentle and kind person by nature, so I originally thought that you would have some complaints about my treatment methods."

"So that's the case." Xiao Yan smiled and continued: "Then Qinghan must have forgotten to tell you how cruel and ruthless I am when dealing with those who violate my bottom line."

"Roar?"

Gu Lie raised his eyebrows slightly. Cruel and ruthless was Xiao Yan's behavior in dealing with Lingquan's slander that day. No matter how you think about it, he has nothing to do with these four words.

As if seeing Gu Lie's disbelief, Xiao Yan smiled and continued.

"My gentleness and kindness are reserved for those who deserve my gentleness and kindness, and I will never show mercy to those who violate my bottom line."

"This is really unexpected."

Gu Lie touched his chin. It seems that his previous understanding of Xiao Yan was too one-sided. This kid is also a character who will be cruel when he needs to be cruel.

"Xiao Yan, my impression of you is getting better and better."

If Xiao Yan still has good intentions towards Yang Hao, who casually abandons the lives of his colleagues, then Gu Lie is really disgusted with Xiao Yan. Even such a person can be kind, do you still have any bottom line?

Fortunately, Xiao Yan's cognition in his heart is quite clear, and Gu Lie is also completely convinced that even if he does not take action to deal with Yang Hao, Xiao Yan will definitely do it himself after knowing the truth.

Then Gu Lie slowly sat down and spoke softly.

"That's the first thing, and the next thing is the second thing." Gu Lie folded his hands, and a rare smile appeared on his majestic face. "You are still waiting for the reply from the clan leader and elders recently, right?"

Gu Lie narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"Anyway, I have nothing to do, can you do me a small favor?" (End of this chapter)
