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

Chen Changli sneered upon hearing this: "So that's what you think in your heart. No wonder you are so confident. It seems that we must fight today to convince each other."

As he spoke, he looked at the people around Li Keyong, trying to adjust some policies so that Li Keyong would be at a disadvantage.

"Everyone in this mountain is my people. Are you sure you want to fight me?" Li Keyong's heart sank slightly. He was unwilling to fight with Chen Changli unless it was absolutely necessary.

This is because Mingyue Mountain is very close to Wuling Mountain, and as far as he knows, several major alien tribes in Bashu have deployed secret sentries in Wuling Mountain.

Once they start fighting, the alien races will get the news.

Maybe they will weigh the pros and cons and deliberately fan the flames, causing both sides to suffer losses.

There are many ethnic minorities in Bashu, and Li Keyong has always looked down on these ethnic minorities. How could he allow them to plot against him?

"I want you to let them go." Chen Changli stared at Li Keyong, not missing any emotional changes on his face.

"I didn't arrest any innocent people." Li Keyong insisted.

Chen Changli was about to get angry, but then he reacted and stared at Li Keyong thoughtfully, and said tentatively: "Some people were deceived by merchants like Wen Baicao because of the news of recruitment."

Li Keyong pretended to be surprised: "You mentioned Wen Baicao in front of me several times. I guess you hate him to the core."

Without waiting for Chen Changli to speak, Li Keyong continued, "I have never met him, so I don't know what his character is like, but my brother and His Highness the Ninth Prince have met him."

"They both agreed that he was trustworthy, so they gave him the important task. I thought he would live up to their trust, but I never thought he would be such a person in private."

"It seems that what happened back then had a great impact on him, to the point where he no longer has any moral principles."

Li Keyong's words seemed to be a reminder to Chen Changli to do his best to hunt down Wen Baicao and not to worry about him and the Ninth Prince.

Chen Changli could not help but feel surprised. He looked up and down at Li Keyong with a pair of doubtful eyes. He did not know what he was thinking about. He softened his tone and said, "Wen Baicao does not want to be an emperor. He only wants to destroy the world and turn all the people into living dead."

"Does he have such courage?" There was a hint of surprise in Li Keyong's eyes. After hearing what Chen Changli said, he suspected that Wen Baicao did so many things in order to take advantage of the conflict between the two parties and gain something for himself. However, he didn't expect that Wen Baicao didn't have this idea.

Chen Changli showed sarcasm on his face: "What kind of courage is this? It's obvious that he is not living a good life, so he wants to blame the heavens and the earth. Once he finds that blaming the heavens and the earth is not enough to vent his grief, he wants to drag innocent people to hell."

"Do you have any evidence?" After listening to Chen Changli's confident words, Li Keyong had to cheer up no matter how unwilling he was to believe it.

After all, if Wen Baicao really had such thoughts, there would be another explanation for his ability to get along well with several princes.

As the uncle of the Ninth Prince, Li Keyong naturally hoped that the Ninth Prince could unify the country and establish a new dynasty. How could he let him be implicated by Wen Baicao and be infamous for eternity?

"Does this matter still require evidence?" Chen Changli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Some of Wen Baicao's actions were not concealed at all. As long as we spend some time to investigate and figure out his thoughts, we can figure out his intentions."

"That is to say, you have no evidence, and everything is purely subjective." Upon hearing this, Li Keyong didn't know what attitude he should adopt.

Chen Changli pondered for a moment, then sighed, "You are right. I have no evidence. Everything is my own guess. So it is up to you to believe it or not. I will not convince you to believe me."

After he said this, Li Keyong believed him more.

He began to ponder some of the things that happened after Wen Baicao appeared beside the Ninth Prince, and couldn't help but feel that these things seemed to be beneficial to the Ninth Prince on the surface, but over time, these things would cause the Ninth Prince and other princes to tear each other apart and fight to the death.

"Wen Baicao is such an ambitious person. He actually relied on his identity as a businessman to deceive my brother." After Li Keyong reacted, his face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.

Seeing that Li Keyong's ugly expression was not fake, Chen Changli said earnestly: "Wen Baicao discovered this iron mine two years ago. The people of Yongzhou City have also been separated from their families two years ago because of this iron mine. They will never see each other again."

"General Li, if the Ninth Prince really loves his people like his own children, he should let those who are still alive return home to reunite with their families instead of pushing out a cunning fox like Wen Baicao as a shield."

"You should know that Wen Baicao has never appeared in front of the people. Even if the Ninth Prince tells them what he has done, the people will not believe him. So in the end, the Ninth Prince will be the one who loses the people's trust."

Li Keyong was slightly stunned, and after a moment he said, "You are really good at poking at people's hearts. Fortunately, the person you saw was me. If it were my brother, a fight between you two would only benefit the foreigners in Bashu."

He deliberately emphasized the tone of the last few words, with the purpose of letting Chen Changli know that he was cautious because of those alien races, not because of Wen Baicao he mentioned.

Chen Changli was startled, then smiled and said, "The reason why I have been in a stalemate with you for so long is because I have this worry in my heart. Unexpectedly, we have the same idea."

As soon as he said this, Li Keyong felt that he had a way out, and hurriedly said, "In that case, send someone here to pick him up at noon tomorrow."

"It's getting late now, you should go back to Yongzhou City first. Of course, I will discuss Wen Baicao's matter with His Highness as soon as possible, and I will inform you when there is a result."

After Li Keyong finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Chen Changli should leave and not stay here.

Chen Changli understood his thoughts, and arranged for the people around him to leave first, and then he followed.

When Chen Changli and his party were no longer visible, a white-haired man asked Li Keyong: "General, do you really believe what he said?"

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it. Besides, he won't lie to me about such a thing." Li Keyong had a deeper meaning. "Otherwise, if we fight, the outsiders will be the ones who benefit."

"I've learned something from you." Upon hearing this, the questioner frowned thoughtfully, then relaxed his brows as if he had suddenly realized something. "It seems that Chen Changli is not so conservative. If I have the chance, I really want to talk to him alone."

"There is nothing to talk about because we are not the same kind of people." Li Keyong knew what he meant and spoke immediately.

The questioner frowned and said, "The Crown Prince is being targeted by Prince Rong, so he may not be able to come to Bashu safely. If he is lucky, we can create some minor troubles to separate his head from his body."

"It has nothing to do with the Crown Prince. It's because Chen Changli and we have different ideals and cannot work together." Li Keyong shook his head, "So we can only be enemies, not allies."
