Chapter 1602 It's Not Worth It
Jin Xiu held Chen Changli tightly, as if he wanted to remember his current embarrassment in his heart so that he could tell Chang Xuewei about it later and make her happy. Unexpectedly, Chen Changli noticed it and quickly ran towards him.
"Oh no, he found me." Jin Xiu was shocked and frightened, and immediately left the place like lightning.
Chen Changli quickly caught up, and the two of them chased each other, performing a cat-chasing-mouse drama in Yongzhou City.
The people of Yongzhou City all saw it and screamed in fear.
"That's General Chen." Suddenly someone spotted Chen Changli and immediately cheered, "He must be chasing the thief. Everyone be careful. Don't let this thief take you hostage."
When the people heard this, they immediately looked for a safe place to hide.
While avoiding Chen Changli, Jin Xiu observed the situation around him.
It wasn't long before the people's discussions reached his ears, and he had an idea in his mind.
However, he did not expect that the people would react so quickly that he could not realize his wish. He could only flee to places with more buildings.
Seeing this, Chen Changli guessed what he was thinking and immediately took out a smoke bomb and threw it at him.
"Master Jin, come over here quickly." At this moment, a group of people dressed as ordinary people rushed out from the side. They joined forces to delay Chen Changli for Jin Xiu.
The smoke bomb exploded in front of them, making them cough and unable to pay attention to Jin Xiu, but Jin Xiu pushed one of them towards Chen Changli and took the opportunity to escape.
Chen Changli was one step behind and unable to catch up with him, so he could only let him escape.
"It's pathetic for you to be loyal to such a person."
Although he couldn't catch Jin Xiu, Chen Changli was happy to let the captured people realize that Jin Xiu was unreliable.
"We are all members of the New Heaven Society. It is our honor to lay down our lives for the elders of the New Heaven Society."
The few people whose eyes were filled with tears due to the smoke bombs had a look of happiness on their faces, as if dying for Jin Xiu was a great honor.
Chen Changli glanced at them, caught the look on their faces, and felt heavy-hearted: "Is it really worth giving up my life for such a person?"
"It's worth it." The tall man had an arrogant look on his face, as if Chen Changli had asked a ridiculous question.
Chen Changli stared at him for a long time, then killed him. He also killed the others because they had been brainwashed by Chang Xuewei and would only think about the Xin Tian Hui and would not betray her.
He didn't intend to waste time on them, and killing them would also give them relief.
"General Chen, are you okay?" Zhuo Yi and his soldiers chased after him. When he saw several dead bodies on the ground, the color drained from his face with shock.
Chen Changli glanced at him and said in a gentle tone, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me. By the way, have you finished searching Prince Yong's Mansion?"
Zhuo Yi immediately replied, "Not only have we searched the ground thoroughly, we have also dug deep into the ground, but we haven't found even a single hair. I think the Eighth Prince made arrangements after receiving the news that the Ninth Prince was attacking the city."
He was a soldier sent by Hanyi to find Chen Changli. Later, Chen Changli saw that he was methodical and cautious, so he took him by his side to train him.
That was why he was very active in searching the Prince Yong's Mansion. After all, he was the first person to guess that the Eighth Prince had abandoned the city and fled, and he was also the first person to be dissatisfied with the Eighth Prince.
As a result, Prince Yong's Mansion was empty. Not only was there no one, but even the commonly used food ingredients were gone.
He couldn't help but guess that when the Eighth Prince went to the outer city, those who were loyal to the Eighth Prince were arranging for people to evacuate, so that when the Eighth Prince came back from the outer city, he didn't have to do anything and escaped smoothly from Yongzhou City.
However, they knew nothing about this. Only after they had repelled the Ninth Prince's men and comforted the injured soldiers did they belatedly realize what had happened to the Eighth Prince.
"General, haven't we discovered a lot of secret passages recently? The Eighth Prince chose Yongzhou City to be stationed before, maybe he knows the location of these secret passages."
"When Yongzhou City could no longer resist the Ninth Prince's attack, he and his men chose to escape through these secret passages."
"It's a pity that as a resident of Yongzhou City, I didn't even know there were so many secret passages in Yongzhou City, so I couldn't determine which secret passage the Eighth Prince and his group escaped from."
"If we knew, we might be able to catch up with him."
After Zhuo Yi said this, he felt very sorry.
Seeing his face full of self-blame, Chen Changli immediately comforted him: "As a native of Yongzhou City, you don't know about this, so how can we outsiders know?"
"The Eighth Prince knew this because he is the emperor's son and made some arrangements after coming here."
"We arrived here later than him. Even if we were able to detect something strange, we still couldn't figure out his plans."
Zhuo Yi felt very upset: "I joined the army to defend my country. Now that I know the Eighth Prince is such a person, I really hate him..."
Chen Changli interrupted him immediately upon hearing this: "Zhuo Yi, no matter what the Eighth Prince did or how bad his character is, it has nothing to do with you. You are you, so don't blame yourself. It's not worth it."
"Besides, I didn't expect the Eighth Prince to do this. That woman named Tu Zhizhi teamed up with Chang Xuewei to trick Lord Lin."
"In other words, it was because the enemy was too insidious and cunning, and we didn't fall into their trap because we were stupid and ignorant."
Zhuo Yi understood what Chen Changli meant and realized that he said this on purpose to comfort him and stop him from having wild thoughts.
He looked at Chen Changli steadily, his face showing emotion: "General, if you say that again, I will listen to you."
"That's what you should do." Chen Changli smiled gently.
When Zhuo Yi saw this, he felt as if a warm current was injected into his heart, and he felt warm and comfortable.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhuo Yi said with a smile.
Seeing that he had adjusted himself, Chen Changli arranged for him to do some things, then asked people to clean up the bodies on the ground and then go and inquire about what was happening among the people.
After making sure that the person who fanned the flames had been found, Chen Changli directly came forward and told them what they had done, and then mentioned Chang Xuewei's plan hidden in the dark.
"My fellow villagers, Chang Xuewei claims to be the granddaughter of Prince Mingde and is determined to overthrow Dajing and establish a new dynasty."
"But her heart has long been twisted by hatred, so her new dynasty will only be a group of living dead, not living people like us."
"Therefore, Chang Xuewei is more terrifying than the princes. The person I am most wary of is her."
"I was ordered to defend Yongzhou City this time because I was worried that she would take the opportunity to attack us. It's not because I surrendered to the Eighth Prince that I risked my life to protect him."
"To be honest, I despise the Eighth Prince for doing such a thing. I look down on him."
"If I surrender to him, what kind of person would I be?" He shook his head. "I'm afraid that by then, my wife and children would not want to acknowledge me."
The people couldn't help laughing when they heard this: "I said General Chen wasn't such a person, but someone said so and encouraged people to save themselves. It turns out someone did it on purpose."
"These people are so cruel and ruthless, they deserve to be killed."
"Is Chang Xuewei so powerful? Where is she now? How can we catch her?"
