Chen Ze's words were already very polite.

This was because Guo Zi's mood was taken into consideration, so he said this.

But in fact, if you think about it this way, if you put it bluntly, it is... After being captured, Yan Xukai and more than 2,000 people had surrendered to Yan Haomiao not long after being captured, and

He also became an elite soldier in the opponent's hands.

Compared with Mengyang Guozi and more than 500 people who have been moldy in the Bo'an barracks, Yan Xukai and the others obviously have a much more colorful life.

It's ridiculous that they still want to rescue people.

Where does the other party need their rescue?

This can also explain why there are two commanders in this army, and why Li Gui, who only got the job of guarding prisoners in Mohekou through nepotism, was not replaced after Yan Haomiao's death.

Because Li Gui’s own strength is very good!

Moreover, he has more than two thousand elite Xuanjia soldiers under his hands, which can be said to be holding a sharp knife in his hand.

Now that Bailie Empire is launching a massive attack on Fengqi Province, how can Mohe Province dare to allow itself to start an internal strife?

And it was still under the circumstances that he was asking for help from Li Gui.

Just imagine, this time they used these two thousand people as a condition for negotiation to force Mr. Hua to cooperate with them.

Then we must show some sincerity, at least we can't find other soldiers to pretend to be prisoners like before, so as to deceive Hua Lao's eyes.

Therefore, the hostages they infiltrated into Fengqi Province must be truly elite Xuanjia, and only then will Hua Lao be willing to submit.

In a sense, Li Gui and the others are still hostages.

Since they are hostages, they cannot be killed until they achieve their goal!

But the current high-level officials of Mohe Province are probably worried about this matter, and there is also the risk of letting the tiger return. Therefore, when they ordered this unit to sneak into Fengqi Province, they were originally prepared to let the highly prestigious Li Guiliu stay.

Serve as a real hostage in Mohe Province to prevent others from rebelling.

But how could Li Gui be willing to submit?

Although the two thousand or so of them were small in number, their combat power was extremely high. Another point was that Mohe Province had to rely on them to force Hua Lao at the moment, so it was naturally impossible to kill people just like that.

In desperation, they had no choice but to let Huang Ren follow with 50,000 troops, assuming that Li Gui and others were really taken as hostages.

But after all, Li Gui and others have been fighting in Mohe Province for many years, so they still have a sense of trust.

So after discovering that there was no movement among them, Huang Ren deployed the troops on hand to the front line bit by bit.

The small number of people he had made Li Gui look down on him even more. At the same time, Huang Ren himself was unwilling to take advantage of this great opportunity to make meritorious deeds in the small Tianhong City with Li Gui and others.

Nothing was done.

That's why he dared to boldly lead a large number of people to leave Tianhong City and come to plot these bandit forces scattered in Fengqi Province for his own use.

Just imagine, he has more than 20,000 troops here. Although there are bandits who have just been captured among them, if he does not have enough strength, it is impossible to defeat those desperadoes.

So the more troops he takes away, the more likely the hostage side will be to escape?

But no.

However, Huang Ren doesn't seem too worried about this.

This is very strange.

So when Mo He took off his mask and regained his original identity, all the strangeness had a reasonable explanation.

In fact, as early as in Bo'an City, Chen Ze had thought about the possibility that the more than two thousand prisoners had been captured for five years. Could it be that they had rebelled, or had defected to the Ming Dynasty?

But when I saw Mr. Hua's sad expression, I still couldn't express this question.

What's more, after everyone set out on the road, Meng Yang, Guo Zi and others, including all the Xuanjia elites in his camp, were very excited to rescue their brothers.

At this time, Chen Ze was naturally even less likely to raise his doubts, which would damage his morale.

In addition, he had known Meng Yang and others for a long time, and he deeply felt the deep friendship between these people. Therefore, he did not really hope that the two thousand hostages had betrayed.

Then along the way, Hua Lao kept receiving information, reporting to him everything about Fengqi Province, which made Chen Ze even more convinced that these two thousand people were still just hostages.

But when he actually arrived and was about to carry out the final rescue plan, he realized that the previous intelligence might be wrong.

Especially when the situation that Chen Ming went to investigate conflicted with what Mo He said, this doubt became more and more amplified.

So the most reasonable explanation is what he just said, but Guo Ziji is unwilling to accept it.

Yan Xukai and others... have turned traitor.

"As for you."

After explaining to Guo Zi, Chen Ze's eyes fell on Yan Xukai's face again and sighed: "I think you are the only one who is really a hostage, right?"

As soon as he said this, Yan Xukai fell silent.

But Guo Zi looked at Chen Ze and then at Yan Xukai, feeling strange in his heart.

What Chen Ze said sounded like nonsense.

No matter what, Yan Xukai was captured by his side, isn't he a hostage?

However, Yan Xukai understood what Chen Ze was talking about.

After a long silence, he smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I am the hostage. I am the hostage to restrain the two thousand brothers in Tianhong City."

Chen Ze said: "Huang Ren wants to come out to expand his troops, but he doesn't mean that he can completely rest assured that you will stay in Tianhong City."

"Otherwise, if you guys take advantage of him and walk away, who will he cry to?"

"So I took you with me."

Chen Ze looked at him with a rather playful look, "I think among you, except for Li Gui, whose real name is unknown, you are the one with the highest reputation among more than two thousand people, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Guo Zi suddenly jumped up, pointed at Yan Xukai and said: "This guy usually has the most clever ideas. Even Old Man Hua has come to him to discuss military matters before!"

This statement also confirms what Chen Ze said.

Yan Xukai's reputation among more than 2,000 people is not low, and if Mengyang Guozi and others are used as substitutes, his relationship with Li Gui is also very good, so there will not be the same situation as Huang Liang and Zhang Li

Something so seemingly incongruous happened.

Huang Ren, who understood this very clearly, took Yan Xukai with him before setting off, and forced him to change his appearance to avoid suspicion from the people arranged by Hua Lao nearby. At the same time, he could also have some influence on Li Gui and others.

A check and balance.

Let them put a trap on them and not dare to leave during their own time.

"Master Chen."
