Under Chen Ze's gaze, Hua Lao's momentum is slowly weakening.
Within a moment, his momentum completely converged and changed back to the drunken old man with cloudy eyes.
No, even worse.
In front of Chen Ze's eyes, Hua Lao looked very depressed. He sat down on the stone bench. What the whole person revealed was a sad mood.
"Want to know why?"
He smiled bitterly, as if he had exhausted all his strength. Only then did he support his body and probe forward. From Chen Ze's hand, he grabbed the pot and half of the wine pot.
Then he took a fierce breath and let the wine wet his skirt.
After a long time, he put down the wine pot and took a heavy breath of wine.
"You guessed well."
Hua Lao didn't go to see Chen Ze, but lowered his head, as if talking to himself.
"I really directed and acted this thing myself. I should apologize to you for this."
Chen Ze was silent.
Did he come to see Hua Lao just to apologize?
And why apologize to him?
In the final analysis, he was just cheated by old Hua and wasted several days looking for spies. It's really impossible to apologize.
And as early as the first time Mr. Hua asked Mr. Jing to come to him in the middle of the night, he felt a little strange.
Old Hua said that there were spies in the city Lord's house, and even he couldn't find them for the time being. He had to rely on Chen Ze's help.
As a wise general of Qingyang and the only general of the Empire, how broad are Hua Lao's contacts and experience?
But he can't find out the spies in the city master's house. He still needs the help of Chen Ze?
No, this sentence should be said like this: he would let spies sneak into the city master's residence?
Not to mention Hua Lao, even Chen Ze himself. Wherever he goes, of course, he will investigate in detail the safety problems of his place. If there are suspicious personnel, they will be dismissed on the spot.
This should be a habitual action rooted in instinct.
Otherwise, send troops out. If you are careless, you are not careful. How many lives do you have enough to die in the enemy's calculation?
Chen Ze is still so, and he believes that most generals should keep such a habit.
But what about Hua Lao?
Even if there is a five-year gap, HuaLao shouldn't be so careless.
Moreover, it is even more impossible to say how many confidants he has lost in the past five years, so that there are not enough people to arrange the city master's house!
Who is Hua always?
Just five years, he is also the super general who can shout and respond.
After five years of plain loss, once he found that old Hua might come out of the mountain, Mr. Jing was desperate and even willing to resign from his high position as the chief of military aircraft in one city and become a cloth. He also had to run back to bo'an city to follow old Hua, which can be seen.
Mr. Jing is so. The fat shopkeeper has never abandoned him. He is even willing to abandon the army and go into business. He has been a restaurant shopkeeper for five years.
They are like this, and will there be fewer such people?
At that time, there were more than 10000 confidants and even his disciples around old Hua. Is it difficult to fill in a city master's house?
Admittedly, Hua Lao's coming out of the mountain will inevitably cause panic to some people. There will be no fewer people who want to undermine secretly. But do you want to infiltrate into the city master's house?
It won't be that easy!
Even if you really came in, you should have kicked people out by the means of Hua Lao
wait!
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Ze's brain flashed, and he couldn't help but look surprised.
When he looked at Xianghua again, he saw that the other party just nodded slightly, as if he had guessed what Chen Ze thought.
"Those five people... Are the real spies?"
Chen Ze was surprised and slowly said his guess.
"So, Mr. Hua, you actually knew who the spies were, but you didn't tell me until I made such a noise in the martial arts training ground, so you pushed the boat with the water, made plans to let these people take the initiative to leave the city master's residence, and then ordered people..."
"So, Tang Feng is HuaLao's own man?"
It is not too much to use shock to describe Chen Ze's mood at the moment.
He has been planning how to help Tang Tianxing, how to find Tang Feng, and try to make their father and son recognize each other.
But who could have thought that Tang Feng was not an imaginary spy sent by the enemy, but an old Chinese!
Over the years... I don't know what Tang Feng has experienced, but he works under old Hua, and commander Luo doesn't know. It's not surprising.
After all, commander Luo didn't have much intersection with Hua Lao before, and it's easy for Tang Feng to hide if he doesn't want Tang Tianxing to find him here.
So after Chen Ze was shocked, he smiled bitterly.
He, commander Luo and Tang Tianxing are all trying to hide everything about Tang Feng from old Hua. In fact, old Hua
Needless to say, I have known for a long time, but Tang Feng is an old Chinese!
Who should I reason with?
At present, what else can Chen Ze do except smile bitterly?
"Tang Feng, this little guy is good."
Hua Lao knew what Chen Ze thought and slowly said, "he just has his difficulties. He doesn't want to meet Tang Tianxing's father and son. It's up to him, but I can guarantee that his resentment against Tang Tianxing is not as deep as you think."
Chen Ze nodded, which is good news.
However, compared with the initial situation, Tang Feng, which should have been the top priority, has become less important.
At present, the most important thing is, why did Hua Lao do this and why did he apologize to himself?
This is the focus of Chen Ze's attention at present.
He always felt that he had missed something, otherwise he could not explain why after everyone evacuated the city hall, old Hua suddenly gave a hint, which made Chen Ze find the key.
So, why?
He looked at Hua Lao.
But Hua Lao looked bitter and didn't seem to want to speak.
"Hua Lao?"
In desperation, Chen Ze could only take the initiative to speak and hesitated: "do you... Have any difficulties?"
He really didn't want to believe that he had been helping his Hua Lao since he set foot in the world, which would be bad for him.
But looking at Hua Lao's face, it seems that
"Since you get on well with Meng Yang and them, do you want to be clear about what happened five years ago?"
Old Hua shook his head and finally opened his mouth.
Chen Ze was stunned.
Is this related to five years ago?
Five years ago, under the explanation of Meng Yang and Guo Zi, Chen Ze was clear. At that time, he also analyzed it and lamented the original experience of Hua Lao.
Who would have thought that now HuaLao mentioned five years ago?
