"Handle?"

Chen Ze repeated, saying in his heart that it was so, but he didn't show anything on his face.

"It can't be said to be a handle, it should be said to be..."

Old Hua thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "it's more appropriate to say it's a hostage."

Mentioning the word hostage, his dissipated momentum seemed to climb again, so that the whole body of Yu HuaLao trembled slightly.

After a long pause, he seemed to have tried his best to press back the faint and violent breath.

As a result, the veins on the wrinkled forehead suddenly bulged, making Hua Lao's face look very ferocious.

"If Meng Yang told you, you should know that the Xuanjia elite I accepted was not just them."

Old Hua said, looking at Chen Ze.

Chen Ze nodded slightly. He did hear Meng Yang mention it.

At the beginning, more than 3000 Xuanjia elite were accepted by Hua Lao, and then they have been fighting North and South under Hua Lao's command.

These people realize that they are Xuanjia traitors, so they are never willing to take credit in the process of war. Therefore, even though this army has become an ace army in the hands of Hua Lao, everyone is just a civilian and has no military rank.

In the course of the joint campaign, Hua Lao also forged a deep friendship with these soldiers. Otherwise, when Hua Lao retired, how could Meng Yang be so disappointed?

Therefore, Chen Ze knew that after the original war, only more than 500 Xuanjia elites of more than 3000 people died, and it was these more than 500 people who worked hard to protect Hua Lao and returned to Qingyang empire.

Is it difficult to

Chen Ze's eyebrows were slightly raised, waiting for Hua Lao's following.

"They... Many people are not dead."

Hua Lao's next sentence made Chen Ze's heart sink.

Not dead?

But five years have passed!

"Then they..."

Originally, he planned to wait for Hua Lao to finish his analysis, but as soon as he heard the news, Chen Ze couldn't help opening his mouth.

The news really shocked him.

Xuanjia elite was only related to Hua Lao at the beginning, but now, Xuanjia elite is also inextricably linked to Chen Ze.

It can even be said that Chen Ze would not have achieved this achievement if he had not given him a part of the elite of Xuanjia.

God knows how excited Meng Yang would be if he heard the news outside.

Those people are also his brothers!

"I had to do it in the first World War of the Bailey empire. Although I solved the danger of the emperor being trapped, I... Had no chance to leave the Bailey Empire at that time."

Old Hua sighed, and his eyes showed the color of memory.

"Speaking of, you knew the enemy's commander-in-chief at that time."

Immediately, he looked at Chen Ze with a lot of fun in his eyes.

"Yan Haomiao?"

Chen Ze was stunned and suddenly thought of a name.

If there are people he knows in the Bailie Empire, Yan Haomiao is the only one.

"Yes, it's him."

Mentioning the enemy again, Hua Lao's face was very calm.

I don't know whether the time has passed too long or whether Yan Haomiao is dead.

"At that time, Yan Haomiao, led by Mohe Province, came to support, and just hit my troops."

"Yan Haomiao sneaked into Qingyang Empire to be an undercover in his early years, and I also had several connections with him. In fact, I once solicited him at the beginning. Later, I learned that this man was a spy sent by Bai lie empire."

Hua Lao said slowly. The past was like talking about other people's things in his mouth.

"Do you know..."

At this point, Hua laodun said with a bitter smile: "the reason why Yan Haomiao can run back to the white empire is that I helped him secretly."

Chen Ze was stunned.

I didn't expect Yan Haomiao to have this one at the beginning.

At that time, the status of Hua Lao was so high that with his help, Yan Haomiao could return to the Bailie empire. It sounds reasonable.

And Chen Ze probably knows why Hua Lao did it.

This man, Yan Haomiao, is really a talent. At the beginning, he was the first to feel the opportunity, so he did not hesitate to sneak into Nantes province all the way.

Hua laoaicai, at that time, he also estimated this person, so he helped him.

"Then he..."

Chen Ze frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of Yan Haomiao, this man is not one who will know how to repay his kindness. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for old Hua to get away when he meets Yan Haomiao in the territory of the Bailie empire.

"He said he would help me back."

Old Hua said expressionless, "in fact, he did the same. If it wasn't for him, do you think I would escape back to Qingyang empire with 500 disabled soldiers?"

Chen Ze was silent, but he also knew that there must be something below.

"At that time, Yan Haomiao met me privately and said that he could help me break through the siege, but because I belong to two countries with him, it is always difficult to help in the open, so I had to perform a play."

"Acting?"

Chen Ze sneered, "it won't be so simple?"

Hua Lao shook his head and did not deny Chen Ze's guess. He only said, "at that time, I also felt reasonable. In order not to make it too difficult for him to do, I promised it. You know what happened later. The difference is that Meng Yang thought that more than 2000 brothers died in the war, but they didn't."

"They just became Yan Haomiao's prisoners."

"Yan Haomiao said at that time that these people were just used to pretend. When I returned to Qingyang Empire, he would try to release these people."

Old Hua said faintly, "you know, I had no choice at that time. I either led my brothers to die in the Bailie Empire, or I chose to believe Yan Haomiao once and cooperate with him to perform the play."

"Then I did lead Meng Yang and they fought their way back to the Qingyang empire. I thought Yan Haomiao was grateful for my kindness to help him and came to repay my kindness, but I didn't know..."

At this point, old Hua stopped talking.

Chen Ze sighed. He probably understood what had happened.

"But he didn't put people back, but threatened them to make you retire from the position of general of Qingyang Empire?"

Only in this way can we explain why after returning to Qingyang Empire, old Hua kept silent about the matter in Bailie empire. Indeed, someone was threatening him.

And it makes sense for him not to tell Meng Yang about it.

You should know that Meng Yang and others are hot tempered. If you know that someone threatens Hua Lao with their brother's life, I'm afraid no one can persuade you. You'll immediately return to the white Empire to find Yan Haomiao and work hard!

In this way, the five-year gap of old Hua has been explained. At the beginning, he had to be threatened by Yan Haomiao for the life of more than 2000 brothers, so he retired from the position of general and became a drunk old man sitting alone in a restaurant.
