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

Chapter 1609: Selfish and Indifferent

"He wants to destroy everything, so telling the princes about the iron mine and letting them fight back must be in line with his calculations." Lin Jing said solemnly, "In short, we can't ignore this point. We have to find out the truth."

If the Ninth Prince knew about the iron mine, it would make sense why he was so obsessed with Yongzhou City.

When Chen Changli's thoughts turned to this, his heart darkened slightly.

"Master Lin, you should recover first, and leave the matters concerning Yongzhou City and the iron mine to me."

After he said this, he went to work and soon found the people Wen Baicao left behind in Yongzhou City.

He immediately captured these people and interrogated them one by one. He soon found out that Wen Baicao decided to leave because Ye Yun wanted him to get rid of him.

He agreed on the surface, but in fact he passed half-true and half-false news to the Ninth Prince, and told him part of the layout of Yongzhou City, and then he led his men to evacuate.

"Ye Yun is actually planning to kill me?" Chen Changli was so angry that he couldn't help laughing. "Does he think that the Eighth Prince can completely stabilize Yongzhou City?"

That's not right! He was helping the Eighth Prince to capture Chang Xuewei. As the Eighth Prince's cousin, Ye Yun should be very clear about this matter.

Why did he want to kill him? And he was planning to let Wen Baicao kill him.

Could it be that Wen Baicao was the one who instigated the discord and caused Ye Yun to misunderstand him?

Chen Changli thought so, but he felt that as the cousin of the eighth prince, Ye Yun would not be so short-sighted and would definitely make full use of him before kicking him away.

"Does the Eighth Prince know about this? If he knew but acquiesced, then why did he let me go to the outer city later?"

There was a flash of doubt in Chen Changli's eyes, and his hands unconsciously rubbed his eyebrows.

He really couldn't understand Ye Yun's thoughts. All kinds of doubts were churning in his mind, making him feel a little confused and helpless.

If the Eighth Prince knew Ye Yun’s plan and came to find me later, wouldn’t he want to use the power of the Ninth Prince to get rid of me?

When Chen Changli thought about how the Eighth Prince and Ye Yun were still thinking about getting rid of him when the situation in Yongzhou City was critical, he felt a chill in his heart.

If the Eighth Prince had such thoughts, then why did he take Wan Shufang away?

Now that he was alive, what would happen to Wan Shufang? Would the Eighth Prince find a way to deal with her?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Chen Changli couldn't help but reveal a look of worry on his face. However, the Eighth Prince had gone to Bashu, so Wan Shufang must have been taken there as well.

No matter how uneasy he was, it was useless. He could only suppress all his emotions and first find a way to rescue the people in the iron mine before making other plans.

After making a plan in his mind, Chen Changli ordered, "Come here, lock them up in the Heavenly Prison."

"Dad, the people who went to Mingyue Mountain are back." At this time Chen Hai ran in. After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Changli cautiously, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

During this period when Chen Changli was busy, he deliberately brought the two brothers Chen Ping with him.

Chen Ping felt uncomfortable and was very slow in his behavior, but Chen Hai, with the idea of ​​reforming himself, followed Chen Changli closely, and when Chen Changli was free, he would ask him about his doubts in an attempt to help him grow.

Chen Changli was very happy with his approach and put a lot of thought into his advice. As for Chen Ping, who was a little slow, he did not ignore him.

So in just two days, both brothers had some changes.

Chen Changli was very happy about this, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously: "Have you discovered something? Or is your eldest brother throwing a tantrum again, which is why you can't speak."

Chen Hai blushed slightly when he heard him say that: "Big brother is not in a bad mood, he is now working with me and has become very diligent."

After saying that, he rubbed his face with his hand and said, "My brother and I discovered something. That is, some people in the city want to leave through the secret passage."

"It's just that they took your thoughts into consideration. They have been slow to act, but have gathered together in private."

Chen Changli had guessed about this matter before, but many people were cooperating with him in arresting people.

If he made this matter clear, it would only cause panic among the people, and the matter of the Phoenix Gu also made him very worried.

He gradually ignored the matter, but he didn't expect that the Chen Hai brothers would discover it.

"Do you have any ideas?" After thinking for a while, Chen Changli had an idea in his mind, but he did not make any arrangements directly. Instead, he asked Chen Hai for his opinion.

"Are you asking me?" Chen Hai was a little surprised.

Chen Changli looked at him tenderly: "If you can handle some things on your own, I'd be happy to let you do it."

Chen Hai felt a pang of bitterness at the corners of his eyes when he heard this, and crystal clear tears welled up in his eye sockets.

He quickly took a deep breath, holding back the bitterness, and thought carefully about Chen Changli's words, confirming that he was determined to cultivate him so that he could stand on his own. His heart became more excited and complicated than before.

"My idea is to let them make their own decisions. After all, we are not gods who have descended to earth. How can we protect hundreds of thousands of people in the city?"

After all, Chen Hai is selfish and unwilling to pay for people who have nothing to do with him. He just wants them to leave quickly to reduce the burden on Chen Changli and others.

"Do you think so?" Chen Changli frowned unconsciously when he heard Chen Hai's words.

Chen Hai knew that Chen Changli could not accept his ideas, but he was unwilling to hide his selfishness and indifference in front of Chen Changli.

"Dad, they have nothing to do with us, and our own situation is not very good, how can we protect them all the time?"

After saying this, Chen Hai bit his lip and raised his voice unconsciously.

"Most of them are willing to cooperate with us in catching the thieves, and will stay and defend Yongzhou City with us."

"But there are still a few people who don't believe us and only believe in themselves. Moreover, the secret passage has been exposed to the public. There is also a secret passage leading to Mingyue Mountain."

"For those whose family members are missing, they are eager to go to Mingyue Mountain to rescue them."

"Some people are so disillusioned that even if we try our best to turn the tide, we won't be able to bring them back."

"If that's the case, why not let them make their own decisions?"

When Chen Hai said this, his expression slightly changed. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Changli steadily, saying in a resounding tone: "Dad, I am worried about you and don't want you to get hurt by some irrelevant people."

Chen Changli looked at Chen Hai deeply and said calmly: "In your heart, the hundreds of thousands of people in Yongzhou City are not as important as me?"

"Yes." Chen Hai replied without thinking.

Chen Changli was silent for a long time, then he sighed and said, "I am very pleased that you think this way, and I am also very happy that you show your true self in front of me. However, I advise you not to have such thoughts, and do not show them in front of others."

"The world is full of smart people. If you can't hide yourself, you will become the target of public criticism, and then I won't be able to protect you."

When Chen Hai heard this, his heart started beating wildly.

He asked quickly: "Dad, what are you worried about? Or is Yongzhou City more dangerous now than before?"
