The Era of Generals

Chapter 548   Imaginary Enemy

"You want me to evacuate all the people in the City Lord's Mansion?"

In the reception room exclusive to the city lord, Elder Hua frowned slightly and looked at Chen Ze.

Just now, Chen Ze suddenly came to look for him, which surprised Hua Lao, and what surprised Hua even more was that Chen Ze actually made a request to him.

Chen Ze hoped that he would withdraw all the people in the City Lord's Mansion, including servants, servants, and generals at all levels who came here admiringly. government.

"Yes, I hope Elder Hua can give this order."

Chen Ze nodded, and calmly met Elder Hua's questioning gaze.

"Do you know..." Hua Lao frowned a little deeper, paused and said, "What are the consequences of doing this?"

as a result of?

Chen Ze smiled wryly in his heart, of course he knew the consequences.

It's not that Mr. Hua is afraid of death, or that he doubts the purpose of his move, but that if all the people in the city lord's mansion are removed, it will cause a big trouble.

The current situation is that all forces are quite critical of Hua Lao's return to the rivers and lakes, but in view of the attitude of the Qingyang royal family and the people's worship of Hua Lao, they have no choice but to take Hua Lao for a while.

So this is the reason why powerful forces sent spies to infiltrate the city lord's mansion.

Their purpose is to seize Hua Lao's handle during this period of time. Even if they don't, they must at least find an excuse to check and balance Hua Lao.

And Mr. Hua naturally understands these things. In fact, if he is in the position of the other party, he will do the same.

Therefore, at this time, it is even more important to forbear. Once you let the other party feel that you have other thoughts, you will immediately break this delicate balance. Then what you need to face at that time is that the other party is getting more and more violent reaction.

This is what Hua Laozai doesn't want at the moment.

Now that he has chosen to agree to the Qingyang Empire to become the city lord of Bo'an City, Hua Lao naturally doesn't just want to play for fun.

In this way, he will never want to draw too much attention from others before his own strength is restored.

Withdraw everyone in the City Lord's Mansion from the City Lord's Mansion?

Mr. Hua also knew that Chen Ze deliberately set up a trick to attract spies behind the scenes, and Mr. Jing also reported the matter to him. Mr. Hua also analyzed that there was probably only one murderer.

After the murder, the murderer will naturally not appear in the City Lord's Mansion in a short time, but this does not mean that the City Lord's Mansion is clean.

Chen Ze proposed to evacuate everyone. Are there any other spies among all the people?

Don't even think about it, there must be!

Even when Chen Ze asked Mr. Hua to keep a few confidantes, Mr. Hua was really not sure about other than one or two candidates in his mind.

It is conceivable that the withdrawal of such a large number of people from the City Lord's Mansion will cause a great shock to Bo'an City... no, even the entire Anluo Province.

And such an abnormal move, it is impossible not to attract the attention of others.

It even makes people wonder whether Mr. Hua has to make some big moves, otherwise, how could the entire City Lord's Mansion be emptied?

Isn't the purpose of his doing this to keep it secret, and not to let the wind leak out?

However, the more this is the case, the more people will naturally want to figure out what kind of mystery Hua Lao is playing up, which will actually make the situation in the City Lord's Mansion even more difficult.

This point was already thought of by Hua Lao when Chen Zegang made this suggestion to Hua Lao.

Therefore, he didn't believe that Chen Ze would not have thought of this, so in the eyes he looked at Chen Ze, apart from doubts, it was more of an inquiry.

"Old Hua!"

Chen Ze cupped his hands at him and said, "Actually, one thing is very clear, that is, no matter how low-key we are, we can't resist it."

"What's more, I believe Mr. Hua also knows that even if we don't make any mistakes, the situation won't be stable for long. In any case, at a certain point in time, someone will still jump out and frame you with some trumped-up charges. we."

"Then if this is the case, why do we have to find out the spies in the mansion?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Chen Ze stopped talking, and only left the time for thinking to Elder Hua.

And what he said... made Hua Lao stunned.

"Why is it necessary to investigate spies?"

Elder Hua chewed Chen Ze's words carefully, his wrinkled forehead twisted into a word Sichuan.

What is the need?

That's right, if someone else came, under Chen Ze's words, he would suddenly feel a sense of enlightenment in his heart.

That's right, since sooner or later someone will be accused of unwarranted crimes, so it doesn't seem to matter whether the spy is investigated or not?

Wouldn't it be all right to drive out of the city lord's mansion all at once?

To be honest, for a moment, Hua Lao actually had this idea in his heart, thinking that although Chen Ze's suggestion was simpler and more direct, it was still a good idea.

But if you think about it carefully, it is actually not the case.

The premise of Chen Ze's suggestion is that he has listed the whole world as his imaginary enemy!

Whether it is the Qingyang royal family, the three great masters, or the only general, or even people from other empires, whether they are or not, at this moment, they have all become enemies of their Bo'an City Lord's Mansion!

why?

very simple.

Hua Lao wants to investigate the spies, does he really care how many spies there are in the mansion?

Of course not!

With his personal strength, unless the spy is a super general at the level of a general, he may not be afraid even if he is a master at the level of a general.

But will the general come to his mansion as a spy?

Wanting to find out the spies, Hua Lao wanted to find out the enemies who were manipulating behind the scenes, whether it was one or two, or even like Chen Ze's imaginary enemies, the whole world didn't care.

But at least, Hua Lao needs to make this point clear, instead of just making an imaginary enemy and fooling around.

Still the same sentence, now that he has returned to the arena, his own strength cannot be compared with the peak state of the year.

The peak state mentioned here not only refers to Hua Lao's own physical state, but also the powerful power he once possessed.

Everything has been consumed, divided, and eroded during his silent years.

To this day, how much strength is left of him?

Hua Lao understands this very well, so he wants to find the person behind the scenes and find out the target he will face immediately.

Only in this way can he plan ahead and use his limited strength to make targeted arrangements.

But Chen Ze's withdrawal completely disrupted his plan. With his current strength, how could he really be an enemy of the whole world?
