Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Li Keyong's eyebrows were filled with anger and he looked dissatisfied: "What do you mean by let? This iron ore was originally discovered by us."

Chen Changli frowned slightly: "But as far as I know, this iron mine was discovered by Wen Baicao two years ago. In order to mine the iron ore, he teamed up with merchants in Yongzhou City to kidnap some young and strong men."

"How could this be possible?" Li Keyong was shocked. "Chen Changli, you were not deceived, were you?"

When Chen Changli heard this, his heart suddenly turned cold, but he remained calm and said, "No one dares to lie to me."

Li Keyong tilted his head slightly and looked at Chen Changli carefully, making sure that he was serious. No matter what he said, he would be sure that he was lying. He smiled and said, "You are very stubborn, and people who are too stubborn will be disliked."

"You hate me." Chen Changli's tone was calm and peaceful.

Li Keyong admitted: "Before I met you, I had expectations for you. After I met you, I found that you would be our biggest enemy, and I hated you."

Hearing this, Chen Changli's expression did not change. He only glanced at Li Keyong, then smiled and said, "General Li, the moment the Ninth Prince fled from Luoyang City, we were destined to be enemies."

"So it's normal for you to hate me. If you didn't hate me, I would be unable to sleep at night."

Li Keyong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "So you have such a clear understanding of yourself, no wonder you can avoid the old emperor's calculations time and time again."

Hearing his inexplicable tone, which seemed to hint at something, Chen Changli smiled calmly and said, "If I hadn't done this, I would have died the moment I returned to the capital."

"I've heard about your story." Li Keyong frowned unconsciously when he heard the words "die in the underworld", because the old emperor's sons had learned some of his characteristics in a weird way.

Chen Changli was a general who rose to prominence after him and Zhao Yunhui. The emperor's attitude towards him was inexplicable, so those princes would naturally try to figure out the emperor's thoughts and target Chen Changli.

Their long-term vision is not very long-term, but their disgusting methods are endless.

Li Keyong knew what had happened to Chen Changli without even asking.

"I'm glad you made it through and waited for the emperor's death. If the emperor was still alive, not to mention you, even the Ninth Prince would be severely constrained and wouldn't be as free as he is now."

"But because of this, I really hope you can give up the Crown Prince and choose the Ninth Prince."

"I can assure you that with me here, the Ninth Prince will definitely make use of you and reunite your family."

Li Keyong didn't think Chen Changli would agree to him, but as long as there was a chance, he would win him over for the Ninth Prince.

"Thank you, General Li, for your kindness." Chen Changli looked at Li Keyong meaningfully and rejected his kindness in a calm tone.

Li Keyong showed regret: "If you and I can cooperate, what's the point of other princes?"

Chen Changli said earnestly: "Wen Baicao hasn't been dealt with yet, how dare you think about the Ninth Prince ascending to the top."

"Don't say that you and I can do this together, General Li. If there is no crown prince, perhaps I will choose one of the many princes to assist me, but the greater possibility is that I will take my family and live in seclusion in the mountains, not caring about the outside world."

"Besides, there are countless people in this world who want to fight for the throne. How can you be sure that the Ninth Prince can succeed?"

What Chen Changli said was very unpleasant to hear. If Li Keyi heard it here, he would definitely be furious and would fight with Chen Changli regardless of the consequences.

Li Keyong was not angry. Instead, he looked at Chen Changli with a smile, as if he agreed with what he said.

Chen Changli stared at him for a while, making sure that he was not angry and that his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at him. He gave up some of his ideas as his mind turned.

He rubbed his fingers together gently, and said in a serious tone: "Many people in Yongzhou City were kidnapped to the iron mine by merchants who colluded with the evil. I came to you now, not only to find out about the iron mine, but also to rescue these innocent people."

Hearing the word "rescue", Li Keyong's eyes turned slightly cold, but his tone was very calm: "There are no innocent people here, only a group of people who work hard to make a living by mining."

"General Li, are you not going to release them?" Chen Changli's face immediately turned cold when he heard this.

Li Keyong looked innocent: "What do you mean I won't release him? Chen Changli, you've been fooled."

Seeing the confusion on his face, as if he really had a misunderstanding and wanted to explain it to himself immediately, Chen Changli suddenly laughed out of anger.

Seeing this, Li Keyong's face became more aggrieved. "I have been here for so long, but I have never even been to Yongzhou City. How could I possibly kidnap some poor people?"

"Chen Changli, I think there is a misunderstanding in this matter. We need to talk it out and clear up the misunderstanding."

He spoke sincerely, as if he was insulted by Chen Changli's misunderstanding.

He wanted to explain everything clearly so that Chen Changli would stop accusing him.

Sensing his thoughts, Chen Changli sneered: "General Li, let's not beat around the bush. The missing people in Yongzhou City were caused by Wen Baicao and other businessmen."

"If you release those people, I will pretend that I don't know anything about this iron mine."

"If you insist on trapping these people in the iron mine and preventing them from reuniting with their families, I don't mind having a fight with you right now."

After a pause, Chen Changli continued speaking.

"I will also make the matter of this iron mine public, and let the Sixth Prince, who has a tacit understanding with the Ninth Prince, cause you some trouble."

"Do you really have to do this?" Li Keyong's face darkened when he heard Chen Changli's threatening words.

Chen Changli sighed: "It's not that I have to do this, it's just that your attitude is too cold and ruthless. For the sake of those innocent people, I have to do this."

"I think you overlooked one thing." Li Keyong sighed softly, "If His Majesty the Ninth Prince becomes the ruler of the world, the people of Yongzhou City will be his subjects."

"If a benevolent king does not love his own people, how can his future be long-lasting?"

Chen Changli seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help laughing: "That's true, but I didn't see his side of loving the people like his own children."

"That's because Yongzhou City is not in Your Highness's hands. If you hand over Yongzhou City to us, the people of Yongzhou City will live a good life. They won't be as worried and anxious as they are now!" Li Keyong deliberately emphasized his tone.

Chen Changli snorted coldly: "If your Highness had such a heart, he would have long ago put on an attitude of loving the people like his own children. How could he have gotten into such a fight with the Eighth Prince?"

"In the final analysis, the Ninth Prince's love for the people is only known from your words. His words and deeds do not match your words at all."

Upon hearing this, Li Keyong said bluntly, "If you hadn't occupied Yongzhou City, how could my prince be like this? So all this is your fault. What does it have to do with my prince?"
