"Who would dare to lie about such an important matter? Don't just stand there like an idiot, hurry up and leave! If you waste time, you may not be able to return to Yongzhou City today."

As soon as the soldier's words came out, the people came back to their senses.

They looked at each other, seemingly not knowing what to do.

But the soldiers have said so much, if they hesitate, wouldn't they offend these people?

Moreover, they are just ordinary people. Apart from having the strength to mine, they don’t have any other abilities.

Why would they lie to them about this?

Erniu gritted his teeth and said, "Whether this is a lie or not, we have to catch up with them."

Dali missed his family very much and wished this was true so that he could go home and reunite with his family.

"Listen to Erniu, let's hurry up and catch up." Dali said this and chased after him like the wind.

When others saw this, even if they felt uneasy, they were still full of hope.

So in less than two breaths, they caught up with several soldiers and followed them to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Chen Changli had been guarding the foot of the mountain with his men for a long time. When he saw the frightened people walking down the mountain, he felt a little relieved.

"Everyone, I am Chen Changli, and I am here today to take you back to Yongzhou City to reunite with your family."

Chen Changli's gentle words instantly made the people who had been feeling uneasy along the way burst into tears.

"We are really saved, Dad and Mom, I missed you so much!"

The people cried and laughed, and then rushed towards Chen Changli like flowing spring water.

When Li Keyi and Situ Ming arrived, they saw this scene and their expression turned cold: "Is Chen Changli trying to buy people's hearts?"

Situ Ming heard that his tone was not right, and hurriedly advised: "He is now in charge of the entire Yongzhou City. In order to gain the support of the people of Yongzhou City, he must win over their hearts."

Li Keyi felt much better after hearing this: "How could these foolish people know how powerful the Ninth Prince is? It's a pity that I didn't help the Ninth Prince take Yongzhou City. Otherwise, Chen Changli would have been offered to the Ninth Prince by the people of Yongzhou City."

"Now you are relying on the people of Yongzhou City to show off your power in front of me. This is really hateful."

"If it weren't for my elder brother and the Ninth Prince's instructions, I would never let him off so easily."

The more Li Keyi spoke, the angrier he became, and the look in his eyes when he stared at Chen Changli was like a knife cutting someone.

Chen Changli seemed to have sensed something and immediately looked up at him, his gaze meeting Li Keyi's, which was filled with jealousy and murderous intent.

"Li Keyi? Why are you here?" Seeing that the person coming was not Li Keyong, Chen Changli frowned slightly.

"You don't want to see me." Li Keyi heard something wrong in Chen Changli's tone, and his face suddenly fell.

Chen Changli smiled helplessly and said, "How could I not want to see you? I just didn't expect you to appear here. After all, you fled Luoyang City in a panic because of me, so I thought you hated me and didn't want to see me again."

He responded to Li Keyi's words with just a few words.

After hearing this, Li Keyi felt that he had suffered a great humiliation. He was so angry that his breathing became rapid and his body was shaking.

"Chen Changli is a despicable villain. If you get angry because of what he said, won't that make him proud?" Situ Ming noticed that there was something wrong with Li Keyi's breath, so he quickly held him with his hand and lowered his voice so that he could hear.

"He looks down on me." Li Keyi said gritting his teeth.

Situ Ming tried his best to comfort him: "He did this on purpose, just to provoke you and make you fight with him."

"The general and the ninth prince have also guessed this, so they specifically reminded you. If you can't hold back your emotions and fall into his trap, you will fail their expectations of you."

Situ Ming said this earnestly, as if it were the real thing.

After hearing what he said, Li Keyi had to take a deep breath to suppress his anger. "You are right. I have to control my emotions and not fall into your trap."

Trying hard to control his emotions, Li Keyi led his men directly to the foot of the mountain and said calmly, "One failure does not mean I will do the same thing every time. Chen Changli, don't be complacent. Be careful that God will not be pleased and make you fall."

"Thank you for the reminder. I will always reflect on myself in the future and not let myself fall into the same trap." Chen Changli was stunned, then smiled.

His laughter was particularly brisk, as if he really took Li Keyi's words as a reminder.

Li Keyi suddenly felt that Chen Changli had a very good mentality and that there was no comparison between him and him.

"Maybe I should learn from you and face difficulties like this. I can also turn the tide like you." Li Keyi adjusted his mood and said with some hint of meaning.

Chen Changli chuckled: "I didn't turn the tide. I just did my best and left the rest to fate."

When Li Keyi heard this, he was so angry that he almost exploded.

However, Situ Ming was right beside him and noticed that his breathing was a little stagnant, so he immediately nudged him with his elbow.

Feeling the slight impact, Li Keyi instantly knew what Situ Ming meant, and had to force out a smile, "God really favors you, which is why you have survived danger time and time again."

"It's just that God sometimes takes a nap, so you have to be careful and alert at all times, and don't do anything to resign yourself to fate, otherwise you will end up in an irreparable situation, and you won't even know what happened."

Hearing his words had a bit of sarcasm, Chen Changli looked at him in surprise.

Seeing him raise his chin high, as if pretending to be arrogant, Chen Changli twitched the corner of his mouth: "It seems that you must think that I am lucky to be alive until now."

"If you are unlucky, how could you appear in front of me?" Li Keyi deliberately emphasized his tone.

Chen Changli was thoughtful after hearing this: "If you can survive ten years of fighting on the battlefield just by luck, then can I assume that you brothers have no real achievements?"

Li Keyi was shocked and angry: "Chen Changli, are you really that bold?"

"It was your words that caused misunderstanding, so I guessed this." Chen Changli replied with a cold face.

Li Keyi suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot. His face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.

Situ Ming sighed helplessly, then smiled at Chen Changli and said, "General Chen, my general is straightforward and said some unpleasant things. Please don't take it to heart."

Before Chen Changli could open his mouth to refute, Situ Ming said, "It is not the general's job to escort the people down the mountain. After all, these people are not worthy of being escorted by the general."

"So we are here at the foot of the mountain because we have something important to discuss with you."

Li Keyi snorted unhappily when he heard this: "This matter concerns Wen Baicao and the Eighth Prince, so we have to find a place to talk."

Chen Changli thought of what he had said to Li Keyong, and immediately asked, "Is this Li Keyong's idea? Or is this the arrangement of the Ninth Prince? But this matter is very important, why did they let you come?"
