Wan Conghe was afraid that the young man would not listen to his words, so he mentioned Chen Changli and his wife in every word. He hoped to suppress the terrible thoughts in the young man's mind.

"The general and his wife will naturally find a way to escape from the control of the rebels, but before that we have to create an opportunity for them."

The young man listened to Wan Cong and Wen Rousishui's words, and immediately understood what he meant.

He disagreed with Wan Conghe's opinion and tried to persuade him to take his men away first so that he could stay behind to cover their retreat.

"Stop talking. I don't agree with you doing this." Seeing that he couldn't convince him, Wan Conghe stated his attitude very straightforwardly.

The young man was stunned and it took him a long time to recover. He looked at Wan Conghe helplessly and said, "Master Wan, don't put all the pressure on yourself."

"I should be the one saying this to you." Wan Conghe rolled his eyes at him, then ordered him to have a good rest and stop trying to convince himself.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk any more, the young man knew what he was thinking.

He felt helpless, with words stuck in his throat but he didn't know how to say them. He could only sit aside and stare at Wan Conghe with resentment in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. To be honest, you are the same age as my brother. Looking at me like that will only make me feel sad."

Wan Conghe didn't intend to pay attention to the young man and just focused on the things at hand.

However, the young man's gaze was too scorching and he couldn't ignore it.

"Anyway, I'm still alive. I'll be there for you if anything happens. Don't do anything bad behind my back, or I'll be the first one to tell the general about you after he's rescued."

Wan Conghe's words were full of threats, and when the young man heard this, his eager heart was instantly extinguished.

He held his chin with one hand and said with a sigh: "I didn't know why the general used you before, but now after hearing what you said, I understand."

Hearing what he meant, Wan Conghe rubbed his forehead with his hand and said earnestly: "Who am I doing this for? But now that you have figured it out, you have to listen to my words and don't ignore them."

When he said this, Wan Conghe's eyes turned slightly red, not knowing what he was thinking about.

He patted the young man's shoulder heavily and said in a serious tone: "I will attack Chang Xuewei at night, and you take the others to stroll around the outskirts of Tianlin Town."

"Sir, what are you doing..." The young man's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

Wan Conghe said very seriously: "The person Chang Xuewei wants to kill is me. I have to divert her attention so that she won't have time to think about other things."

The young man wanted to refute him, but Wan Conghe did not give him a chance and continued, "You must listen to my arrangements. If there is anything in the future, you must listen to me and you are not allowed to act on your own."

After he said this in a firm tone, he began to make arrangements, and soon everyone was cooperating with him.

Three o'clock in the morning soon arrived. Wan Conghe deliberately made some noise to attract Chang Xuewei's attention, and then brought his men to fight with her again.

The anger of both sides had been aroused by the previous fights, and now they were fighting again, both sides wished the other to die.

The young man stayed in the dark and observed for a while, and after making sure that Wan Conghe was not at a disadvantage, he followed his instructions and took some people to the outskirts of Tianlin Town.

He never expected that as soon as he brought his men to the outskirts, a group of people seemed to be prepared and shot arrows out with great momentum.

"They have also made preparations outside Tianlin Town! These people are more cunning than we thought. We must retreat quickly and not sacrifice them in vain."

The young man had previously thought about rushing into Tianlin Town to rescue Chen Changli and his wife, but now he realized that Chang Xuewei and others were not stupid and had already made some preparations in Tianlin Town.

He realized that he had underestimated these people, and immediately led his men to retreat.

On the way, he ran into Wan Conghe who was almost defeated by Chang Xuewei, and he immediately ran to help.

The two cooperated well, and with some things they had discussed before, they quickly seriously injured Chang Xuewei and retreated into the jungle to hide again.

Chang Xuewei, who was almost stabbed in the neck, hid behind the crowd, staring gloomily at the retreating Wan Conghe, then took Yang Qingzhao back to the county government office in Tianlin Town with murderous intent.

She didn't care about the minor injuries on her body. She came to Chen Changli and his wife with a murderous look on her face and asked them bluntly, "What on earth did you two do? Why did you let that loser play tricks on me time and time again?"

"Have you been fooled?" Wan Shufang was full of doubt.

Chen Changli raised his eyes and stared at Chang Xuewei curiously.

Seeing her furious, as if she had suffered a lot outside and wanted to turn that grievance into anger and explode, Chen Changli smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for two days, how come you are so angry? Are things in the outside world really that bad?"

His eyes were full of curiosity, as if during the past two days when Chang Xuewei was away, he and Wan Shufang had been very honest and had not done anything tricky.

Chang Xuewei met her curious eyes and felt as if a basin of ice water was pouring down on her head.

She felt cold all over and shivered unconsciously.

She knew very well whether the couple was doing something behind the scenes, and now she came to question them angrily just to vent her anger on them.

Chang Xuewei realized that she was wrong and tried to suppress the bad emotions in her heart. She said with a forced smile: "After arriving in Tianlin Town, I was determined to get rid of the scoundrel who followed me, and I didn't have much time to pay attention to you two."

"I don't know what you two have done in the past two days. If you are willing to explain it to me, I would be happy to take you out for a walk."

There was something inciting in her words. Wan Shufang pondered for a long time, her voice as cold as an iceberg and full of sarcasm.

"Go out for a walk? I'm afraid my husband and I can only walk around this town and see how capable your people are before we continue to be locked up here."

"Isn't this good?" Chang Xuewei asked knowingly.

Wan Shufang nodded and shook her head: "It's good, after all, this is a threat to life and death. My husband and I value our lives and we don't want to lose them because of a little negligence."

She stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then sighed, "If you want to threaten my wife and me, you can just use the news about Prince Rong. There's no need to threaten us with our freedom."

"No matter how free we act now, we can't escape the fact that we are prisoners. So we are very self-aware and won't make things difficult for you."

She deliberately dragged out the last word, glanced at Chang Xuewei, then looked at Chen Changli, pretending to be sad and said, "Chang Xuewei really thinks nothing of us, so she even made threats carelessly."

"If we had known this, we should have taken the Phoenix Gu and run away. Maybe with the Phoenix Gu in hand, no matter how much Chang Xuewei looked down on us, she would be willing to give us some respect."

Hearing her sarcastic tone, Chen Changli was quite cooperative and quickly said, "My wife is right, but I am also very curious. What did you do in the past two days? Why did you come here to get angry at us? Did your people suffer heavy losses?"
