Li Keyi sneered: "You want to persuade me?"

Chen Changli nodded: "I am indeed prepared to do so, but from the tone of your voice, I know you are not happy about it."

"The general just doesn't want to be used by you." Situ Ming spoke quickly after hearing this.

After he finished speaking, he deliberately pulled Li Keyi's sleeve, asking him to think carefully about his words and not to ruin his relationship with others at this critical juncture.

Li Keyi understood his thoughts and asked, "Why did Wan Shufang leave with someone? Chen Changli, you came to Wuling Mountain at this time, maybe it's because Wan Shufang made an appointment with you."

Chen Changli couldn't help but frown when he heard what he meant.

Glancing at Li Keyi, Ye Yun looked at Chen Changli calmly and said in a gentle tone, "Wan Shufang made that decision herself. It has nothing to do with us."

Upon hearing this, Li Keyi immediately sneered, "How could it have nothing to do with you? Wan Shufang has been with you for so long, as long as you have an idea, you can get her help."

"That is to say, Wan Shufang made this decision because you and she reached an agreement. Even if Chen Changli doesn't know this, he will know it clearly after what happened today."

The more he spoke, the more he felt that this was the case. His gaze on the Eighth Prince became extremely cold, as if he was staring at a ridiculous liar, wishing he could see through his outer appearance to his inner calculations.

The Eighth Prince was almost furious after hearing what he said.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Ye Yun hurried to him and said gently, "Don't be angry, Your Highness. Li Keyi is deliberately trying to provoke you."

"I know his intention." The Eighth Prince said with a gloomy face.

Li Keyi wanted to say something when he saw this, but Situ Ming immediately bumped into him.

After being hit, Li Keyi looked at him and saw that his expression was calm, as if his previous actions had no intention. He frowned unconsciously and continued to be tough: "The relationship between you and your wife and the Eighth Prince is not simple. I have to be on guard."

After these words were spoken, before Chen Changli had any reaction, the Eighth Prince burst into laughter out of anger.

"If they were willing to pledge allegiance to me, how could the iron mine fall into your hands?"

"The iron ore was found by Wen Baicao. What does it have to do with you?"

Hearing the eighth prince's shameless words, Li Keyi's voice was extremely cold.

The Eighth Prince was choked by this remark and almost didn't know how to refute it.

He quickly adjusted his mood and was about to refute sharply when Chen Changli suddenly sighed and said, "I thought the Ninth Prince was very important to you, but I didn't expect that the Ninth Prince is not as important as the Eighth Prince in your heart."

Li Keyi thought he had heard it wrong and couldn't help but stare at Chen Changli. Seeing that he looked serious, as if he really believed it, his face turned green.

Chen Changli didn't care what his mood was, and said calmly: "Let's not talk about how exclusive the four major families are. Let's talk about my wife. She is a proud and arrogant person. The Eighth Prince used Xia Feng to suppress her, which has long made her angry."

"So how do you think the Eighth Prince could let her do such a thing? Even if the Eighth Prince threatened her with me, I don't think she would do it. After all, Fulu Town is a place where aliens have been lingering for hundreds of years. No matter how brave she is, she wouldn't dare to go there alone."

Chen Changli spoke with such sincerity that Li Keyi's guess seemed ridiculous.

Li Keyi looked at him for a long time, his mood fluctuating.

Situ Ming looked around and was sure that Chen Changli's words had calmed Li Keyi down, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Li Keyi would quarrel with Chen Changli because of his pride.

Although the threat posed by the Eighth Prince was greater, Situ Ming believed that Li Keyi had never taken him seriously from the beginning to the end. He only wanted to keep an eye on Chen Changli and then take the opportunity to vent his hatred.

"I believe you." Situ Ming spoke first while his thoughts turned, "After all, you are sincere to your wife."

"What do you want to do?" The Eighth Prince looked alert.

Situ Ming smiled faintly and said, "I just want to follow your words. Otherwise, if we remain deadlocked, the people in Fulu Town will pay attention to us."

The Eighth Prince smiled coldly, "Li Keyi doesn't believe this, and he wants to target me. As his man, you should do the same. Why do you believe us? I don't believe you are really worried that the people in Fulu Town will take advantage of it. After all, the relationship between Li Keyong and Ning Guzhou is no secret."

When he heard him mention Ning Guzhou, the unhappiness in Li Keyi's heart was like being doused by ice water, and instantly turned into mist and disappeared.

"Ning Guzhou is indeed one of ours." Li Keyi said calmly, "But he is a foreigner, so no matter how well he performs, we dare not trust him."

"Eighth Prince, you mentioned him at this time, are you trying to warn me?"

Without waiting for the Eighth Prince to speak, Li Keyi's face was filled with melancholy: "Big brother has worked hard to gain Ning Guzhou's recognition. If I lose him because of me, not to mention Big brother, I won't be able to forgive myself, so I am willing to believe what you say like Situ Ming does."

Li Keyi's words were clearly an attempt to save face.

The eighth prince was being sarcastic.

Chen Changli didn't want them to argue anymore, so he smiled and said, "It's getting dark now, and there are a lot of poisonous insects in Wuling Mountain. To prevent them from invading us, we might as well find a place first. As for the matter related to my wife, I think we can have a good talk once we find a safe place."

"For Chen Changli's sake, I won't mind your previous recklessness." The eighth prince's words were cold, as if Chen Changli gave him face and he was happy to respond to his words.

But if Li Keyi had other ideas, he would definitely turn against him, putting Li Keyi in a difficult position.

Li Keyi saw through his thoughts at a glance and almost couldn't hold back his pride. At the critical moment, Situ Ming agreed on his behalf.

Li Keyi's lips moved slightly, but after all, because he was concerned about Ning Guzhou's situation and didn't want the Eighth Prince to make a fuss at this time, he remained silent. However, he didn't expect a feather arrow carrying kerosene to suddenly shoot down from the front left.

"There is an enemy attack, everyone be careful!" Han Yi's voice rose, but his reaction was not slow.

But the others reacted a step slower, and in the blink of an eye, many people were hit by feather arrows, fell to the ground and were swallowed by fire.

"You are plotting against me." Although Li Keyi's reaction was slow, Situ Ming was quick. He immediately pulled Li Keyi to the side and commanded many soldiers to protect Li Keyi. However, as soon as Li Keyi was safe, he suspected Chen Changli and the Eighth Prince.

Chen Changli rolled his eyes at him: "This arrow is aimed at us. Who would risk their own safety to plot against you?"

Li Keyi was stunned by this, his face was cold and ugly: "Maybe you directed and acted it yourself, and your purpose is to kill me here, but you don't want to bear the guilt."
