Meng Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I know that Old Man Hua felt sorry for the brothers who had been following him. He led us to die even though we knew we were going to die, but in the end he was still alive."

"No, maybe...he actually died in Bailie Empire a long time ago and was buried with our brothers."

After slowing down, Meng Yang continued: "Later, Old Man Hua went to live in seclusion in Bo'an City. Our brothers followed him and tried to persuade him, but this old guy couldn't listen to a single word and drank too much every day.

They even thought we were noisy, so they were all thrown into the Boan Barracks and ignored us ever since!"

Hearing this, Chen Ze sighed and finally understood the reason why Meng Yang and others secretly hated Mr. Hua.

As Guo Zi said, these five thousand elite soldiers did not blame Hua Lao, but because they respected Hua Lao, they followed him to the Bailie Empire even though they knew they would die.

Therefore, he had already prepared for his death. Even if Meng Yang and others came back alive, they had no intention of blaming him.

But Hua Lao couldn't pass his own test.

Those five thousand people were his private soldiers. Not only did Meng Yang and others regard them as brothers, Hua Lao was also afraid of them and had a brotherly feeling for them.

In order to rescue a capricious king, he personally buried his brother. The pain in Hua Lao's heart was probably no less than anyone else's, so it was understandable that he would be mourned even now.

But Hua Lao's silence in Han Cang City not only made him a laughing stock, but more importantly, it made the nearly five thousand heroic souls buried in Bai Lie Empire meaningless!

Meng Yang and the others are angry and hate Mr. Hua, but this is still the case after all.

And Chen Ze can probably guess the reason why Mr. Hua was ostracized and no one dared to speak out.

Among the three wise and two generals of the Qingyang Empire, Hua Lao is already old. As his strength declines, the power he holds is slowly becoming fat in the eyes of others.

Don't forget, there were other wise men and generals in Han Cang City at that time. If they didn't have their tacit approval behind the scenes, who would have dared to jump out and ridicule Qing, who was famous all over the world, just because of those city lords whose military ranks were not as good as Hua Lao's?

Yang Zhi will Shen Tuhua?

Could it be that Chunyu Guoshi, who had reached the peak of his career as a counselor, could not see the reason why the Bailie Empire really withdrew its troops at that time?

Could it be that General Ji Yang, who came with a million Qingfeng troops, really believed that the five million elite soldiers of the Bailie Empire were scared away by him?

Everything is just for profit.

Anyone who can get to that point is not a human being. Why can't you see something different in Hua Lao's expression?

But they never thought of trying to comfort him, nor did they express gratitude for Mr. Hua's desperate efforts to save him.

On the contrary, what they were doing at that time was to add insult to injury and deny everything Hua Lao had done and the merits of those five thousand heroic souls on a groundless charge!

This is clearly a battle of interests!

This is clearly despicable and shameless ugly human nature!

"It's easy to say that a general will die in a hundred battles and a strong man will return after ten years. Unfortunately, what really determines our lives and deaths is often not the battlefield with open swords and guns, but..."

Chen Ze shook his head and sighed.

He was never afraid of bloody battlefields, but he also hated the intrigues outside the battlefield.

However, it is a pity that no matter where you are, there will always be such things. Wherever there are people, there will be... human hearts!

"A general will die in a hundred battles..."

Meng Yang repeated Chen Ze's words and said with a bitter look on his face: "What a general who died in hundreds of battles. I, Lao Meng, dare not call me a general, but I am willing to die in a vigorous battle. It is better than becoming someone who is unknown to me."

The victim!"

Chen Ze glanced at him.

Meng Yang looks rough and heroic, but in fact he is rough and subtle. He probably saw the truth at first, but he was soft-spoken and had no choice but to do anything about it.

Hua Lao was disheartened at the beginning, and he was not, otherwise, how could he spend his days in the Bo'an barracks.

"This kind of thing...will never happen again!"

Chen Ze's eyes were glazed over, and he said in a cold voice with a firm tone: "Who dares to put his idea on my head, let's see if I don't skin him!"

As soon as he said these words, his bravery became so strong that Meng Yang and others were stunned.

Ever since they met Chen Ze, have they ever seen this young man with an air of elegant young master have such a tough side?

But on the contrary, Meng Yang felt that Chen Ze was like this.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "That's right! Old Man Hua has given up, but we don't admit it. Who dares to take our ideas in the future? Without Big Brother's orders, I, Old Meng, will be the first to go up and tear apart his bones!"

"Actually, Old Man Hua..." Mentioning Old Man Hua again, Guo Zi hesitated and sighed in a low voice: "It's not bad."

"He lived in seclusion in Bo'an City and opened a restaurant in the military base during his lifetime. The money he earned, plus his considerable salary, were all used to support the families of his brothers. He has not stopped doing so for the past five years, which can be regarded as a kind and righteous act.

Already."

"snort!"

Meng Yang snorted coldly when he heard this: "He just wants to make amends, but he has never thought about what kind of compensation those brothers really want!"

Chen Ze was silent, the matter was already clear, and he did not want to speculate on whether Mr. Hua's behavior was due to guilt or something else. Perhaps only Mr. Hua himself knew this clearly.

So he interrupted Guo Zi, who was still about to argue, and said: "Okay, you have just finished the assessment and are tired. Let's go back and rest first. Don't forget, the five-day period of defending the city has not come yet. Let's start."

Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy, for now everything is still focused on defending the city!"

As soon as he spoke, Meng Yang and others immediately fell silent.

Because the past events of that year were brought up, the two of them felt much heavier. Even Chen Ze's mysterious and mysterious test of the secret method had no intention of exploring it any further.

Then he said goodbye to Chen Ze and left.

Li Quan'an, on the other hand, listened to the story for a long time and was a little at a loss for a while. In the end, Chen Ze forced him out on the grounds that he was tired.

Finally, Chen Ze was the only one left in the room.

What happened five years ago finally became clear. Although it seemed to have nothing to do with him, he was able to figure out a general clue from it.

First of all, Mr. Hua must have really fallen into decline, and was not secretly lying in wait for the future.

Secondly, when he brought himself into contact with Meng Yang and others, he probably sincerely did not want these Xuanjia elites to just hang around and wait to die, but wanted to find a way out for everyone, which could be regarded as a compensation for Meng Yang and others.

Thirdly, in this case, Mr. Jing's actions were due to his own wishes, or, similarly, the thoughts of those unwilling people in Hua Lao's former power had no trace of Hua Lao in them.

So, Meng Yang and others can be used with confidence. As for Mr. Jing, as long as Mr. Hua doesn't want to go out of his way, Chen Ze certainly doesn't need to pay attention to the other party's hint of siding with him.

So much the better.
