The mechanical sound quickly and urgently echoed in Yuan Li's ears.

Yuan Li kept his eyes closed and didn't move.

His breath was scorching, and the pounding of his heart was like the beating of a drum, resonating in his ears, one sound after another, vibrating as if a sword had pierced through barriers and broken free.

Soon, a drizzle began to fall from the sky.

One drop, two drops... The cold raindrops fell on Yuan Li's face.

"My Lord..." Zheng Rong felt as if only a blink of an eye had passed, but Yuan Li seemed to have undergone some change, becoming somewhat unfamiliar in an instant. It even made him shiver involuntarily, but when he blinked again, he couldn't see anything different.

Yuan Li slowly opened his eyes.

The glint in his eyes flickered, as if capable of setting the world ablaze. The drizzle became heavier and heavier, gradually calming Yuan Li's emotions. He reached out and caught a raindrop, murmuring to himself, "It's raining."

Yang Zhongfa looked up at the sky, "Look at this weather. It's probably going to rain the entire night."

Yuan Li stood quietly for a while, then looked again at the wife and child. He no longer attempted to approach them but said, "Arrange for them to be placed around the Chu Wang residence."

Two soldiers came forward, "Understood."

Yuan Li raised his chin slightly, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, but there was no amusement in his eyes, "Take the heads of those two soldiers and send them to Chen Wang. Tell him one thing for me, to manage his soldiers properly. This is the imperial capital, the emperor's domain, and under the eyes of the ancestral temple, such acts of burning, killing, and looting are disrespectful to the Taizu and the late emperor, isn't it?"

The words sounded light and carefree, but they made everyone present break out in cold sweat. Lu He even felt a chill down his back. He hadn't expected Yuan Li to be so daring, able to say such incriminating words without fear.

Aren't these words provoking trouble?

Is he not afraid of offending Chen Wang?

Yuan Li looked around at the ruins and the corpses of the common people, and he said indifferently, "Also, tell Chen Wang that if he can't control his soldiers, I, Yuan Le Jun, can take care of them for him."

Yang Zhongfa couldn't help but exclaim happily in his heart! He felt that Yuan Li's temperament was just to his taste!

Wu Kai didn't hesitate and immediately complied, picking up the two heads from the ground.

Lu He was dumbfounded and couldn't help but be amazed. Yuan Li indeed had no reason to fear Chen Wang.

Chen Wang had brought an army of 80,000 soldiers to Luoyang, but Chu Hechao and Yuan Li had also brought 80,000 Youzhou soldiers to the capital.

Having fought alongside the Youzhou soldiers, Lu He knew how powerful they were, especially with that three-bow-bed crossbow that had shot down Yan Hui. Just thinking about it made his heart itch with excitement.

With such a powerful force, why should Yuan Li be afraid of Chen Wang?

Not only was he not afraid, but he had already dealt with the usurpers. He had the confidence and strength to confront Chen Wang directly. Perhaps even Chen Wang had to temporarily avoid their sharp edge at this moment.

Two hours later, Chen Wang received the two heads that Yuan Li's men had sent, as well as the message Yuan Li had conveyed.

His face changed slightly as he touched his beard, remaining silent at the sight of the two decapitated heads.
