The Era of Generals

Chapter 559 - The Possible Truth

But, no!

Tang Feng did not make a move, which meant that he was not in the mansion at all.

Although for Chen Ze, this was just a second confirmation.

Don't look at him as if he put himself in danger in order to confirm this matter, but it is not the case.

In the eyes of Meng Yang and others, Chen Ze wandering aimlessly like this, and it is very likely that he will not be able to protect him in time, is really a very dangerous thing.

But only Chen Ze knew that he was actually safe.

Although there is only Meng Yang beside him, in fact, the Qingyang Arrow God has been following him in the dark.

Chen Ze didn't give him any death orders, so Tang Tianxing would naturally use his own willpower as a judgment.

He wanted to protect Chen Ze, so wherever Chen Ze went, he would naturally follow him.

And with Tang Tianxing secretly protecting him, Chen Ze believed that even if Tang Feng made a sudden attack, Tang Tianxing would have enough ability to react instantly and save him.

No matter how strong Tang Feng is, is he stronger than Tang Tianxing?

If he was really strong, this poor orphan who was abandoned would probably rise up and ask his father for everything he had done back then.

Tang Feng did not do this, which meant that he knew very well that although his martial arts were not weak, they were still not as good as Tang Tianxing's.

So Chen Ze's seemingly reckless behavior was actually not as dangerous as others seemed, at best it could only be regarded as a thrill.

As he returned to his residence, there was no danger at all.

So what followed was more and more confused doubts.

Is this secret enemy a fool?

Didn't even do the most basic detection work?

Either he is a fool, or he is confident that he is strong enough to deal with any actions of Hua Lao.

But if he really has that much energy, why bother to arrange for people to enter the city lord's mansion to find out the news?

If the soldiers come directly to block the water and cover it with soil, isn't it over?

So in summary, the other party is still a fool.

No, maybe... there is another explanation!

Chen Ze's eyes shone brightly. Another explanation for this was the reason for the hateful sound he made as soon as he entered the door.

This explanation was the closest judgment he could make after considering all the circumstances, but... Chen Ze was not willing to believe that this judgment was true.

In fact, as early as the second day when he realized that something was wrong, this idea would pop up in his mind from time to time, but he forcefully suppressed it back.

But after such a long time, the truth seems to be developing in a direction that he doesn't want to believe.

Now, if he is still unwilling to face up to the conjecture in his heart, then he can only describe it as self-deception.

And the truth is...

The fist tightened and then loosened, loosened and tightened again, Chen Ze was also struggling in his heart at this moment.

On the one hand, his rationality told him that the truth should be like this, but on the other hand, from an emotional point of view, he really didn't want to believe that this matter could be true.

What is going on, maybe, I have to go again by myself!

Thinking of this, Chen Ze didn't care about Meng Yang's puzzled expression, and just said softly: "Go, come out with me for a while."

With that said, he opened the door and walked out again.

Meng Yang didn't care about any more doubts, and hurriedly chased after him. Although he was rough, he could still distinguish the priorities of the matter. For him, protecting Chen Ze's safety was always the top priority.

And Meng Yang also believed that when the truth came out, Chen Ze would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.

The two left the courtyard again, this time Chen Ze's actions were full of purpose, and he no longer wandered around like before.

But the direction he was heading in made Meng Yang feel a little unhappy.

What Chen Ze went to was actually Hua Lao's residence not far away, and it was also the largest house in the entire city lord's mansion.

Just like three days ago, the fat shopkeeper was still guarding the door.

At the moment when the City Lord's Mansion was emptied, Mr. Hua didn't keep any extra manpower for himself, only the fat shopkeeper and Mr. Jing.

Chen Ze still doesn't know the strength of the fat shopkeeper, but this person's military rank is not high, and he is not a super powerful person like Tang Tianxing.

As for Mr. Jing...

Judging from his contact in Xiyun City at the beginning, Mr. Jing is basically a counselor, and he does not have any tyrannical strength in himself.

Elder Hua only chose to keep these two people at the beginning, although it was out of loyalty reasons, but Chen Ze was still a little doubtful about it at the time.

"Brother Chen?"

There was no one in the mansion, the fat shopkeeper had been sitting in front of the courtyard for three days, and he was bored, when he suddenly saw Chen Ze and Meng Yang approaching, his expression was slightly startled.

"General Xu, is Mr. Hua in the courtyard?"

At this moment, Chen Ze was not in the mood to chat with him, so he walked up to him and directly stated his intention for coming.

Instead, it was Meng Yang.

Originally, he was unwilling to see Mr. Hua again no matter what, and even every time he came to Mr. Hua's side, he would deliberately stay away.

But this time, knowing that the matter was of great importance, Meng Yang frowned while following Chen Ze closely.

"Old Hua?"

The fat shopkeeper glanced back, nodded and said, "Of course it is, but I don't know..."

As he spoke, he smiled wryly, but Meng Yang snorted in return for the half-sentence he hadn't finished speaking.

Of the three people present, everyone understood what the unfinished half-sentence meant.

Chen Ze nodded slightly, not surprised.

"Then, General Xu, please inform me?"

He also took a look inside, looking in through the open courtyard door, the inside was empty, Mr. Hua probably was hiding in some corner at the moment, and was...

Holding his wine jar.

With a sigh in his heart, Chen Ze didn't know what kind of psychology he was in at the moment, he just waited quietly outside the door, watching the fat shopkeeper turn around and go in to report.

"Brother, you come to the old guy at this time, can he talk to you normally?"

Meng Yang was behind him, looking up at the sky, it was almost evening, although he had no contact with Hua Lao in the past few years, but only through what he saw and heard in the city lord's mansion during this period, he also knew, Hua Lao, who had been drinking for a whole day, was probably very drunk by now.

"sure."

Unexpectedly, Chen Ze nodded resolutely, turned around and looked at Meng Yang seriously, and said solemnly: "Brother Meng, you should let go of what happened back then. In fact, you also know very well in your heart that the reason why Mr. He did it...he also wanted to protect you."

"It's better to let you squat in the Bo'an barracks than to be led out as cannon fodder by some bad generals, right?"

Chen Ze smiled wryly, and patted Meng Yang's shoulder lightly.
