"good!"

Yan Xukai looked at Chen Ze, "I've never seen you before. You're not one of ours, right?"

"right."

Chen Ze nodded, "When you were in trouble, I was still young and did not participate in that battle."

"I wasn't involved, but I just heard them talk about it. It's pretty impressive for you to have guessed it."

Yan Xukai bowed slightly towards Chen Ze, and it could be seen that he still had a sense of awe for Chen Ze.

"What exactly is going on? Can you explain it clearly?"

Guo Zi was angry and anxious when he heard this. He couldn't help but want to punch him again. He raised his fist halfway, but he took it back again, leaving only a sigh.

"What happened to you in the past five years?"

Faced with this question, Yan Xukai did not answer, but looked at Chen Ze and asked with a smile: "With Master Chen's wisdom, can you possibly guess one or two of them?"

Chen Ze thought for a moment and said, "I think the problem lies with Yan Haomiao, right?"

"Yan Haomiao was ungrateful back then. He took Hua Lao's life-saving grace on his back and forcibly tricked Hua Lao. He captured more than two thousand of your brothers and took them to the Bai Lie Empire. From then on, they were imprisoned in Mohe Province.

"

"But Yan Haomiao still feels guilty towards Mr. Hua, so when he heard the news about Mr. Hua's retirement, out of guilt or other reasons, he didn't treat you too much.

Mean, even..."

He looked at Yan Xukai and said in a deep voice: "In order to make you less resistant to him, he should have selected a leader among you and let you take charge of your own people."

"As long as you don't think about escaping, I think your life in Mohe Province will be pretty good in the next few years."

Having said this, Guo Zi opened his mouth a few times, wanting to interject, but he didn't dare.

But Chen Ze looked at him and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"No, didn't Old Man Hua tell us before that he sent scouts to Mohe Province to find out about these guys, but what he got back was that they were living a miserable life in Mohe Province, and even tried to reduce their combat power.

, you won’t even be given a full meal?”

Guo Zi asked anxiously. When Hua Lao explained everything to Chen Ze, Chen Ze naturally relayed it to them when he came back, so Guo Zi also knew about this.

"It's just an illusion, or in other words, disguise."

Chen Ze responded: "Yan Haomiao is a treacherous and slippery man. He knows that this matter is harmful to Mr. Hua, but his position is to prevent Mr. Hua from turning around and uniting with the Zhu Yan Empire to deal with Mohe Province. Therefore,

He must make Mr. Hua have some scruples about him."

"This scruple, which is also the best chess piece he has at hand, is the more than 2,000 prisoners he snatched from Hua Lao."

He looked at Guo Zi again, shook his head and said: "You have to know that after that battle, the brothers in your Xuanjia Empire died and were arrested, and those who survived by chance were also because of their disappointment in Hua Lao.

, and have been hanging around in the Boan Barracks since then."

"At that time, how could Mr. Hua persuade your people to go to Mohe Province to inquire about information?"

"What's more, he also knows you very well. He knows that if the situation he inquired about in the past is very bad, you might not be able to control your temper and do some stupid things. Not only will you not be able to save your brothers, but you will also be involved in it.

.”

"So he can only appoint candidates from among his other disciples."

"But you also know that after you surrendered to Hua Lao, you felt that you were a foreigner, so you did not deal with other people in the Qingyang Empire. This also led to other people under Hua Lao's subordinates treating you

Not very familiar."

Guo Zi was stunned and could only nod.

This is exactly the case.

Except for a few who had good relations with them back then, these former members of the Xuanjia Empire did not live very well in the Qingyang Empire, and they were basically on their own.

This is also the reason why Meng Yang, Guo Zi and others have a good relationship.

Because they have no sense of belonging, and they do not identify themselves as members of the Qingyang Empire, but only accept the orders of Hua Lao.

"Then this is a flaw."

Chen Ze sighed: "With Yan Haomiao's shrewdness, he might not have thought that Hua Lao would send people to find out the news, so maybe Hua Lao's manpower in Mohe Province has actually been under Yan Haomiao's surveillance, and the information they can get

, and Yan Haomiao deliberately released it to them."

"So the situation reported back is exactly what you heard."

Guo Zi scratched his head. The amount of information was a bit too much for him for a while.

After thinking again and again, he said in disbelief: "But brother, you have never been to Mohe Province, and this guy didn't tell you clearly. How can you be sure that what you said is the truth?"

He pointed at Yan Xukai, his emotions a little complicated for a moment.

Chen Zedao: "Originally I didn't know."

"But your brother has revealed his true identity. Combined with the true or false information he gave before, it is not difficult to guess."

"You forgot, he once said that Yan Haomiao originally handed over two thousand prisoners to the custody of a general named Li Gui, and Li Gui's power in Mohe Province was not that great, otherwise Huang Ren

How could you not buy his account?"

"So, after Yan Haomiao's death, how did Li Gui, who was not very powerful, keep controlling this captive army and not let go?"

"Yan Haomiao is already dead!"

"Without him, Li Gui is nothing, and it is naturally impossible to compete with Huang Ren."

"But the situation happened to be that when these two thousand prisoners suddenly became a key chess piece five years later, the people of Mohe Province were actually willing to let him retain the position of custody, and even came to Fengqixing

It saves time, and he and Huang Ren jointly take care of the prisoners."

"Isn't this strange?"

Having said this, Chen Ze's eyes fell on Yan Xukai.

"I think that Li Gui is also a pseudonym, and he was the one appointed by Yan Haomiao at the beginning. He is also the person you are more convinced of, and he will lead you."

"So in the past few years in Mohe Province, the two thousand or so of you... should no longer be called prisoners, but an elite force!"

He smiled and said: "I think you have fought for Yan Haomiao a lot in recent years, right?"

"And with your strength, as long as Yan Haomiao relaxes a little, the power that will burst out will be beyond imagination."

"So now that we have become the elite force of Mohe Province, even after Yan Haomiao's death, Li Gui still has a certain right to speak, at least at least. No one can command you except him!"
