"White Lie Empire..."

Chen Ze pondered for a moment and asked, "Are they here to avenge Yan Haomiao?"

In the province of Nantes, Yan Haomiao was defeated step by step due to his calculations.

At the beginning of this incident, most people might blame Ouyang Lixing. However, as the situation developed, especially later, when Zheng Yuanyun died, the alliance between Ouyang Lixing and Chen Ze changed.

Already in name only, Ouyang Lixing would sell Chen Ze out for some of his own purposes.

And counting the time, it happened that not long after Zheng Yuanyun's defeat, Hua Lao returned to Bo'an City and became the lord of the city.

"revenge?"

Mr. Hua shook his head slightly, "No."

"The so-called death will disappear, no matter how good Yan Haomiao is, no matter how important he is to the Bai Lie Empire, he has now become a handful of loess. For the Bai Lie Empire, the most important thing now is naturally profit!"

When he said this, Hua Lao's face showed disdain and boredom.

"They haven't given up yet and still have ideas about Fengqi Province?"

Chen Ze raised his eyebrows slightly. When he was in Nantes Province, he had done a thorough research on the various forces. When Hua Lao mentioned it, he immediately understood what was going on.

In fact, this makes sense.

Yan Haomiao did such a despicable thing, used coaxing methods to make Mr. Hua retreat, and also took so many hostages.

There is no need to publicize this matter, after all, it is not a very glorious thing.

Therefore, the people who know about this matter, besides Hua Lao, should be a few people who originally belonged to the Mohe Province under the Bailie Empire.

The reason why Yan Haomiao came to Nantes Province was to have the opportunity to attack Fengqi Province, so he should have made arrangements before leading his troops out. Among them, there may be something about it.

Those things about the Xuanjia elite.

He died, but Mohe Province is still there, and Yan Haomiao only brought more than one million troops. In terms of the strength of Mohe Province, there was actually no big loss. So, of course they still have strength.

I also have the ambition to fight for Fengqi Province again.

After all, the Zhu Yan Empire has not yet been completely stabilized, and Ouyang Lixing has been dragged back to Nantes Province. This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Mohe Province.

Although Anluo Province is a small province, due to the battle with Nantes Province, it has now become the focus of the entire continent. All empires and various forces have sent countless scouts to Anluo and Nantes Province.

The two major banks in Nantes were spared from exploring the situation.

The successor of Mohe Province learned that Yan Haomiao had Hua Lao's hostage, and it happened that news of Hua Lao came from Anluo Province. Isn't this a coincidence?

Can……

Chen Ze shook his head and did not think about the Bai Lie Empire's threat of hostages for the time being.

There was one more thing he hadn't figured out yet.

"Mr. Hua, I'm still confused about something."

He thought about it and decided that he had to find out first. Otherwise, if the doubt was not resolved, Chen Ze would have to question everything Hua Lao said later.

After all... the other party has fallen off the altar in his mind, and Chen Ze will no longer believe in him as unreservedly as before.

"you say."

Mr. Hua didn't feel offended. He just nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Chen Ze calmly.

"That's it..."

Chen Ze thought for a while and asked: "Back then, Yan Haomiao did not hesitate to retaliate with evil and used hostages to threaten you to make the decision to retire, but..."

After a pause, he said: "But I didn't think clearly about his intention."

This is what Chen Ze didn't want to understand.

Yan Haomiao spent so much effort, accompanying Mr. Hua to act, persuading him earnestly, and even coming all the way from Mohe Province.

Is it possible that his purpose is just to force Mr. Hua to retire?

What good does this do him?

After all, Hua Lao had saved his life back then, and he repaid his kindness with hatred. How could he do it if there were no huge benefits at hand?

Is it possible that Yan Haomiao is such a psychopathic person, and others saved him, but instead hurt his self-esteem, and he would not be willing to do it until Hua Lao's reputation was discredited and his power was dispersed?

This was not something Chen Zefei had to guess, but what happened later made him have to wonder.

Since five years ago, Hua Lao announced his retirement and has remained in Bo'an City as a military commander who does nothing.

But from another perspective, apart from retiring, Hua Lao had no other losses. Of course, this loss meant that it did not bring any benefits to Yan Haomiao.

After Yan Haomiao deceived Hua Lao, he set off at starry night and returned to Mohe Province with the hostages. From then on, he had no contact with Hua Lao.

So, what benefits did he gain from this matter?

This is what Chen Ze can't figure out.

When he asked this question, Chen Ze had been paying attention to the changes in Hua Lao's expression, but he found that after he finished asking, he saw not only calmness on Hua Lao's face, but also a sense of ridicule.

"When you talk about this, you may not believe it."

Mr. Hua laughed and said, "Yan Haomiao did that just to repay his kindness."

"Repay a favor?"

Chen Ze was stunned and couldn't help but wonder: "But he was clearly repaying a favor with a grudge. He was the one who tricked Mr. Hua and you, so why is it repaying a favor again?"

"No."

Mr. Hua shook his head and said, "The favor he wants to repay is not mine."

"Oh, actually speaking of it, in his eyes, he probably repaid the favor twice for one thing, and returned everything he had in the Qingyang Empire."

As he spoke, Mr. Hua smiled self-deprecatingly and added: "In Yan Haomiao's eyes, no matter what method he used, or whether he used hostages to coerce me, to him, he is indeed

He repaid me for saving his life that day by not letting him die in the Qingyang Empire."

Chen Ze was silent.

Let's put it this way... considering what he has come into contact with about Yan Haomiao's character, it is really possible for this old guy to do such a thing.

"What about...the other grace?"

he asked again.

"This matter has something to do with your friend the commander-in-chief."

Mr. Hua sighed slightly.

"Commander Luo?"

Chen Ze was really confused now. Why did this mention General Luo again?

But after thinking about it, he reacted again, "Mr. Hua, what you mean is..."

"good."

Hua Lao nodded and said: "You probably also know that Luo Bei's kid has a very prominent family background. Back then, his father Luo Tiancheng's name was resounding throughout the continent."
