The Era of Generals

Chapter 203 - Reason

What about Mr. Hua?

Chen Ze naturally knew about it.

Although he doesn't know much about Qingfeng City, he knows that there must be a person, and that person is the person who took the great merit of taking away Hua Lao's lone army to relieve the danger of Qingyang King.

Currently the only general in the Qingyang Empire, who guards Qingfeng City and commands the most elite Qingfeng Army in the entire empire—Ji Yang!

Although even Hua Lao couldn't tell whether Ji Yang participated in this matter at the beginning, it is undeniable that Ji Yang got great benefits from that matter at the beginning.

In addition, Mr. Hua is already a marginal person exiled by Qingfeng City, his words carry a lot of weight in the hearts of the people of the Qingyang Empire, but if it is changed to the empire level, they are empty and weak.

No one would believe a cowardly general who escaped during a major war and then came out to make up stories to claim credit.

Although some people don't believe that a generation of Qingyang Zhi will do such a degrading thing, but who dares to say anything?

The person who proved that Mr. Hua did such a cowardly thing is also one of the Qingyang Three Wisdoms who are as famous as him!

Furthermore, Hua Lao did not explain anything at that time, and his silence might not be interpreted as tacit consent in the eyes of others.

Not many people knew what happened back then, at least the ordinary people at the bottom of the empire did not know, but the people sent by Qingfeng City definitely knew.

So not only could Mr. Hua not say anything for Chen Ze, but what he said would backfire. If he didn't get collected, he wouldn't say anything, but it would be detrimental to Chen Ze.

As for that General Soldier Luo, although Mr. Hua worked with him in Qingfeng City back then, they had no friendship with each other. It is not clear the real purpose of Luo Zongbing's overtures to Chen Ze.

Based on all these factors, Mr. Hua believed that it was definitely not a wise decision for Chen Ze to leave Bo'an City at this time.

Thinking of this, Hua Lao's face was slightly bitter, and he thought of the battle back then.

"Mr. Hua, thank you for your suggestion."

After Hua Lao finished speaking, Chen Ze solemnly bowed to him.

However, Mr. Hua was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You still insist on your own opinion?"

"good."

Chen Ze nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I have considered what Elder Hua said, but I still think it is wise to leave Bo'an City."

Hearing this, Elder Hua frowned slightly, and muttered: "If you can, tell me what you think."

if it is possible……

Hua Lao's attitude towards Chen Ze has really undergone a 180-degree change. I still remember that he was here at the beginning, but he was indifferent to Chen Ze, even with some disdain and contempt.

Right now, he is talking to Chen Ze in a discussion tone.

"Then... I will offend you."

Chen Ze sighed, looked at Hua Lao apologetically and said, "Because, I don't want to repeat the mistakes you made, Mr. Hua!"

"mine?"

Elder Hua was taken aback for a second, his eyes flickered slightly, and suddenly became sad.

He understood what Chen Ze meant, and he understood it too.

I don't want to repeat his mistakes, when he...

"But, you can't give up this excellent opportunity just because of this reason?"

After a while, Elder Hua sighed, "You gave up this time, what about next time?"

"Give up too?"

"Being a wedding dress for others forever?"

His eyes were fixed on Chen Ze's face, "Once you succeed, your bones will perish. This sentence is not only used on the battlefield. Behind the cruelty of open swords and spears, fighting in dark corners is the most tragic!"

"Just talk about me."

He nodded at himself, with a stern look on his face, "Do you think I was able to get to the position of the general at the beginning, did it really just come from one soldier at a time on the battlefield?"

"Under my feet, I don't know how many ambitious bones are stepped on, of course..."

The fierce aura rose, then slowly faded, and finally turned into a long sigh, "Now I am nothing but a pile of bones under the feet of others."

Chen Ze didn't want him to be sad anymore, so he immediately said, "That's right, I understand Mr. Hua's meaning, and naturally I also know that if you want to reach a certain position, you have to pay a corresponding price."

"But now I don't want to pay too much, because I have better choices."

Having said that, he bowed his hands to Mr. Hua and said apologetically, "But please forgive me for not being able to tell Mr. Hua clearly about this choice!"

To be able to talk to this point, he already has a lot of trust in Mr. Hua, and if he goes on to talk about it, he has to involve his core secrets.

With the current situation, unless Hua Lao also participates in the general assessment and becomes his confidant, then he can tell the rest.

But... make Mr. Hua his subordinate?

Not to mention whether Hua Lao would agree, Chen Ze couldn't see Hua Lao's loyalty to him and the specific value at all.

Even if Hua Lao retired, his military rank was not comparable to that of Chen Ze, and the magnifying glass of the general star system would not be able to see people with a higher military rank than himself.

Furthermore, based on the level between him and Hua Lao, it is estimated that it is his loyalty to Hua Lao, not the other party's loyalty to him...

Speaking of this point, Hua Lao stopped trying to persuade him, and could only nod his head and said: "It's best if you know what's in your heart."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since that's the case, among the one hundred thousand soldiers I gave you, I want to send all the remaining Xuanjia elites into it. What do you think?"

When mentioning this, Chen Ze hesitated.

When Mr. Hua saw it, he thought Chen Ze didn't agree with this arrangement, so he frowned slightly, "Why, what's the problem?"

When he helped Chen Ze back then, as he said the last time he was here, a large part of the reason was that he wanted Chen Ze to take these black armor elites for his own use, and he didn't want them to eat and die in the barracks.

At that time, Chen Ze also agreed, but now it seems that he wants to go back on his word?

"No, that's not what I meant."

Chen Ze shook his head. For some reason, Mr. Jing's expression of joy because of Mr. Hua's cheer came to mind.

This is where his hesitation lies.

"Hua Lao, please forgive me for asking too much..."

Chen Ze hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hua Lao and asked, "Did you be coerced back then?"

As soon as these words came out, a sharp sword intent shot out from Hua Lao's eyes, and the sword fell on Chen Ze's neck with a sweep, and at the same time he said coldly: "What are you talking about?"

"Do not misunderstand!"

Chen Ze waved his hand and said calmly, "I'm just guessing, and I believe that's why you kept your mouth shut back then, Mr. Hua."

"You... guessed what?"

Hua Lao's face was still sharp, and his eyes were fixed on Chen Ze's face.

"The reason why you didn't want to speak back then."

Chen Ze said in a deep voice: "Or it can be said... that's why you can't speak!"

"Because you need to make sure some people don't mess around!"
