Under Chen Ze's gaze, Hua Lao's aura slowly weakened.

In a short while, his aura was completely reduced, and he changed back to the drunken old man with muddy eyes.

No, it's even worse.

In front of Chen Ze's eyes, Hua Lao's expression was extremely depressed. He fell on the stone bench, and all he revealed was a sad emotion.

"Want to know why?"

He smiled bitterly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, only then did he support his body and probed forward, snatching half of the jug from Chen Ze's hand.

After that, he snorted and let the drink wet his clothes.

After a long while, he put down the flask and let out a heavy breath of alcohol.

"You guessed it right."

Mr. Hua did not go to see Chen Ze, but lowered his head, as if talking to himself.

"This incident is indeed my own directing and acting, I should apologize to you about this."

Chen Ze was silent.

He came to see Mr. Hua, is it just for an apology?

And why should I apologize to him?

In the final analysis, he was just cheated by Mr. Hua. It was a waste of a few days to find the spy, and it really didn't matter if he wanted to apologize.

And as early as the first time Hua Lao asked Mr. Jing to come to him in the middle of the night, he felt a little strange.

Hua Lao said that there are spies in the city lord's mansion, and even if it is him, there is no way to find the spies for the time being, and he must rely on Chen Ze's help.

As the wise general of Qingyang and the only general in the empire, how extensive is Hualao's network and experience?

But he couldn't find the spies in the city lord's mansion, and he still needed Chen Ze's help?

No, this sentence should be said: He would let spies into the city lord's mansion?

Not to mention the old man Hua, even if it was Chen Ze himself, he would of course investigate in detail the safety issues where he was where he was. If there were suspicious personnel, he would be discharged on the spot.

This should be a habitual action rooted in instinct.

Otherwise, the troops will be dispatched. If this is careless, then you are not careful. How many lives do you have for the enemy's calculations?

Chen Ze is still the case, and he believes that most generals should keep such a habit.

But how about Hua Lao?

Even with a five-year gap, Hua Lao shouldn't be so light-hearted.

Moreover, it is even more impossible to say how much he has lost in the past five years, so that there is not enough manpower to arrange the City Lord's Mansion!

Who is Hua Lao?

It has only been five years, and he is also the super general who can ascend and sing.

After only looking at the loss of five years, once he finds that Hua Lao may be out of the mountain, Mr. Jing desperately, even willing to resign from the high position of military commander in a city and become a commoner, so he has to run. Back to Bo'an City to follow Hua Lao, this can be seen.

This is the case for Mr. Jing, the fat shopkeeper has always been inseparable, and even willing to abandon the army to join the business, he has been a restaurant shopkeeper for five years.

The two of them are so, and there will be fewer such people?

The confidant and even the protégé of Hua Lao at the time were more than ten thousand. Is it possible to fill a city lord's mansion without being satisfied?

It is true that Hua Lao's coming out of the mountain will inevitably cause panic to some people. There are many people who want to secretly destroy, but do you want to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion?

It won't be so easy!

Even if he did come in, he should have kicked people out by Hualao's means...

etc!

As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ze's mind flashed, and his face was shocked.

He looked at Hua Lao again, but only slightly nodded when he saw him, as if he had guessed what Chen Ze was thinking.

"Those five... are the real spies, right?"

Chen Ze was surprised, and slowly said his guess.

"So, Mr. Hua, you already knew who the spies were, but you didn't say anything about it. It wasn't until I made such a disturbance in the martial arts field that you pushed the boat along the water and asked these people to take the initiative to leave the City Lord's Mansion, and then Let me kill you again..."

"Speaking of which, then Tang Feng is simply Hua Lao your own person?"

It is no longer an exaggeration to use shock to describe Chen Ze's mood at the moment.

He was thinking hard and calculating, and was always planning how to help Tang Tianxing, how to find Tang Feng, and try to get them to recognize each other.

But who would have thought that Tang Feng was not an imaginary spy sent by the enemy, but an old Chinese person at all!

Over the years...I don't know what Tang Feng has experienced, but he worked under Old Hua, and Mr. Luo didn't know it, but this was nothing strange.

After all, Mr. Luo didn't have much intersection with Mr. Hua before, and if Tang Feng wanted to hide and didn't want Tang Tianxing to discover that he was in Mr. Hua, it would be very easy to do.

So after Chen Ze was shocked, he smiled more wryly.

He, Mr. Luo, or Tang Tianxing, are deliberately trying to conceal everything about Mr. Hua about Tang Feng, but in fact, Mr. Hua is here...

Needless to say, I knew it a long time ago, but this Tang Feng was originally Hua Lao!

Who should I go to to make sense?

What else can Chen Ze do besides a wry smile?

"Tang Feng, this little guy is good."

Elder Hua knew what Chen Ze was thinking, and slowly said: "It's just that he also has his problems. He doesn't want to meet Tang Tianxing and his son. It's up to him, but I can assure that he treats Tang Tianxing. His resentment is not as deep as you think."

Chen Ze nodded, which is good news.

However, compared to the current situation, Tang Feng, which should have been the top priority, has become less important.

The most important thing at the moment is, why did Mr. Hua do this, and why should he apologize to himself?

This is the current focus of Chen Ze's attention.

He always felt that he still missed something, otherwise he couldn't explain why after everyone had evacuated from the city lord's mansion, Hua Lao suddenly gave a reminder, letting Chen Ze discover the key.

So why?

He looked at Hua Lao.

But Hua Lao has a bitter expression on his face~lightnovelpub.net~ doesn't seem to want to speak.

"Old Hua?"

In desperation, Chen Ze could only take the initiative to speak, hesitatingly said: "Do you... do you have any difficulties?"

He really didn't want to believe that the old man who had been helping him since he set foot in this world would be detrimental to him.

Looking at Hua Lao's complexion, it seems...

"Since you get along well with Meng Yang and the others, do you want to be clear about what happened five years ago?"

Old Hua shook his head, and finally spoke.

But Chen Ze was taken aback.

This incident is actually related to five years ago?

Five years ago, under the explanations of Meng Yang and Guo Zi, Chen Ze was clear, and he had analyzed the matter at that time, and sighed about what happened to Hua Lao.

Who ever thought that Mr. Hua now mentioned five years ago?
