"Teacher, he... It's not usually like this."
But looking at Hua Lao, who was sleeping soundly, Mr. Jing explained in a very pale and powerless way.
But in fact, as he said, HuaLao is really not like this.
To be exact, Hua Lao has not been like this since the battle of bo'an city.
At that time, in order to keep a clear mind, he finally made up his mind to quit drinking. This habit did not change until he went to Xiyun city.
But today, commander Luo and Chen Ze returned safely, which is not a perfect end for the battle of Nantes province.
Although this period is not perfect, HuaLao's own purpose is just to get Chen Ze back. For him, the result is very good.
Therefore, Hua Lao, who put down the big stone in his heart, held the attitude that I would taste it while waiting for others, and finally intoxicated himself.
Of course, even if Chen Ze can guess the reason, he can't guess it clearly. However, at present, they don't have anything urgent. They can only laugh off Hua Lao's drunkenness.
They didn't bother Hua Lao. Naturally, there was no need to eat the reception banquet. Under the arrangement of Mr. Jing, commander Luo and Chen Ze returned to their guest rooms to have a rest.
Unexpectedly, Hua Lao slept from noon to the dead of night.
Just as Chen Ze had read some classic war cases in the past and was preparing to rest, there was a gentle knock on the door outside his room.
Chen Ze closed the book and pulled the corners of his mouth up slightly, which was a slight smile.
He didn't ask who was outside, so he just went to the door and opened the door gently.
Mr. Jing stood outside the door. Seeing that Chen Ze directly opened the door, he was slightly surprised, then nodded gently at Chen Ze and said in a low voice, "you knew I would come?"
"I think... Mr. Jing, you should come."
Chen Ze nodded, looked around and said, "otherwise you shouldn't arrange my bedroom in this secluded place."
After discovering that Hua Lao had been drunk, Mr. Jing arranged guest rooms for Chen Ze and Luo Zongbing respectively.
Commander Luo, as a commander in chief, is much more noble. Therefore, Mr. Jing arranged the best room for commander Luo in the city master's house.
As for Chen Ze, Mr. Jing, on the pretext that old Chinese are new to the city hall and have made some repairs to the city hall, told him that other guest rooms can not be checked in temporarily, but arranged to be near the back garden on the west side of the city hall, which is relatively secluded but far away.
At that time, no one said anything about the arrangement, and Chen Ze didn't reveal it at all, but at this time, he seemed to have noticed it for a long time.
Mr. Jing nodded and deliberately made this arrangement to hide people's eyes and ears. Of course, he wouldn't talk too much with Chen Ze through a door. He just lowered his voice and said, "come with me. Hua Lao wants to see you."
Chen Ze has no objection. As Mr. Jing turns around in the city hall, Chen Ze can see that there are many scouts lurking on the route selected by Mr. Jing through the night. According to their appearance, they are monitoring the surrounding situation, trying to prevent the whereabouts of Mr. Jing and Chen Ze from being noticed.
The purpose of doing so
Chen Ze frowned slightly.
This is the city Lord's residence, and it is no longer Zheng Yuanyun's city Lord's residence, but Hua Lao's city Lord's residence. Here, the biggest one should be Hua Lao.
It can be seen that Mr. Jing is so cautious. Does it seem that this is not the case?
Chen Ze wisely didn't speak. In fact, as early as he saw Hua Lao drunk, he already had some doubts in his heart, but he was not sure.
This is obviously not a good time to ask. Chen Ze only followed Mr. Jing and walked a winding road in the city master's house. Finally, he came to the small door on the side of the front door of the city master's house opposite to the back garden.
This is... The so-called black under the light?
Chen Ze looked around. In front of the gate of the city Lord's house, two dark red lanterns were hung high, which provided lighting for the dark night. It was also the brightest place of the whole city Lord's house at this time.
However, this is the brightest place. At the moment, there is no shadow of a person nearby. The gatekeeper who should have been here does not disappear at this time.
I think it should have been cleaned up by Mr. Jing's men in advance.
"Hua Lao is waiting for you inside."
Without letting Chen Ze guess too much, Mr. Jing said directly in his ear. Then he went to the door and knocked gently.
The voice was so low that Chen Ze stood behind Mr. Jing, but he didn't hear a sound.
And the door opened silently.
At a glance, Chen Ze saw that in the small door room, old Hua was leaning against the table with a wine bottle in his hand. He was drinking without a mouthful, but his eyes were very clear.
He went into the entry room. Mr. Jing didn't come in, but closed the door from the outside. He thought he was responsible for guarding outside.
"Hua Lao, long time no see."
Chen Ze went in and saluted old Hua with a fist. He paused and said, "the boy sent someone back to ask for reinforcements that day. I haven't thanked old Hua for his success."
Opposite him, old Hua glanced at him while drinking wine. He didn't say much about Chen Ze's thanks. After taking a breath of wine, he asked, "don't you wonder why I came to you late at night?"
Chen Ze paused and straightened up. There was a dignified look on his face. After thinking about it, he said, "there are spies in the city master's house?"
If there were no spies, why should old Hua and Mr. Jing be so hidden? Even Chen Ze wanted to come. In the daytime, old Hua was drunk in the banquet hall. It is estimated that he did it deliberately.
Although he didn't have much contact with Hua Lao, he had never seen each other get drunk, let alone get drunk like in the daytime.
How can a former Qingyang wise general, a super general who lives in the position of a great general, drink and delay things?
No matter how drunk Chen Ze is, he is actually under his control. Once something happens, he can still make the most correct judgment in a very short time.
Such a person, lose face in front of everyone, drink to the point of getting drunk?
It's impossible to just think about it. At least, Chen Ze doesn't believe that Hua Lao will be like this.
So, the scene in the daytime, in fact, is not that Hua Lao is drunk, but just pretending to show it to some interested people?
The word "spy" was noticed by Chen zegang when he came to the city Lord's residence, but he didn't find a chance to ask.
At the same time, he also told Gu Qingfeng and others at that time to closely investigate the situation in the city master's residence.
But now he is in Qingyang empire. Before the secret enemy shows hostility, he can't use the system to intuitively see who has a problem and who has no problem.
