The Era of Generals

Chapter 561   No need to pretend anymore

"Something?"

The fat shopkeeper was puzzled, and turned to look at Meng Yang.

The fat shopkeeper was a little surprised that Meng Yang would take the initiative to talk to him.

Back then, Hua veteran Meng Yang and others were placed in the Bo'an barracks, and this matter was handed over to the fat shopkeeper, so that Meng Yang and others even hated him.

Although not as strong as Hua Lao, since then, the two sides who were originally brothers have always been jealous when they meet.

Back then when the fat shopkeeper brought Chen Ze to the barracks, he could only use his military rank to force Meng Yang and the others, instead of talking about friendship at all.

Because he knew very well that if he wanted to talk about friendship with Meng Yang and others, he could only be thrown out.

After that, the two also had several chances to meet each other, but neither Meng Yang nor Guo Zi took the initiative to come to talk to him. The fat shopkeeper could only smile wryly at this.

Now Meng Yang took the initiative to find him, which surprised the fat shopkeeper.

"A little..."

Meng Yang is not as entangled as he is, this upright guy always says whatever comes to his mind.

But right now, he really didn't know where to start.

"that……"

After thinking about it seriously, Meng Yang suddenly realized that the fat shopkeeper was not a suitable subject for questioning.

Immediately annoyed, he waved his hand violently, and said angrily: "It's nothing, just forget it if you don't understand!"

As he spoke, he turned around and walked to the shade of a tree a little far away by himself, ignoring the fat shopkeeper.

"You!"

The fat shopkeeper looked puzzled, pointing at Meng Yang for a long while speechless.

This means that after he opened the restaurant for five years, his temper has been greatly restrained. If it were the same as before, he might not have a direct fight with Meng Yang.

The words are divided into two ends.

After all, the relationship between Meng Yang and the fat shopkeeper was just an episode, but at this moment, Chen Ze, who had already entered the courtyard, was in a heavy heart.

As he walked in the courtyard, his footsteps revealed a feeling of hesitation. It seemed that every step he took, he had the illusion of wanting to turn around.

However, he didn't look back after all. Even though Hualao's main courtyard was huge, Chen Ze reached the end step by step.

There is a small bamboo grove in the courtyard, and there is a stone table in the bamboo grove. Hua Lao is sitting on the edge of this stone table, drinking a plate of peanuts, sipping one sip at a time.

Judging by his face, as the fat shopkeeper said, whether Chen Ze can talk to him smoothly is a question.

In fact, until Chen Ze walked to the table and even sat down opposite Hua Lao, the hazy drunkenness in the other's eyes didn't dissipate at all.

He...whether he saw Chen Ze or not was a question.

"Old Hua."

After sitting for a while, seeing that Mr. Hua really ignored him, Chen Ze had no choice but to speak up.

However, when he yelled out, he didn't get the slightest response.

Chen Ze frowned slightly, stretched out a hand suddenly, and pressed hard on Hualao's wine pot, and at the same time raised his voice and shouted: "Hualao!"

It can be clearly seen that the drunkenness on Hua Lao's face suddenly stagnated for a moment, and it seemed that a touch of anger was revealed from it, but soon, the anger disappeared. He raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes to look at Chen Ze, and slapped Jiu Hiccup casually said, "Here?"

"You... looking for me?"

Chen Ze took a deep breath, "Yes!"

Elder Hua said slightly drunkenly, "Why, is there a clue?"

Before Chen Ze came to him and proposed to empty the City Lord's Mansion, Hua Lao agreed to Chen Ze's request after some struggles.

It's just that from then on, Hua Lao handed over all the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion to Chen Ze. For the next three days, he never went out in his main courtyard. Now it seems that he has been drinking for three days. liquor.

And judging from what he said just now, it seems that he didn't even ask about Chen Ze's progress, that's why he asked this question.

"looks?"

Chen Ze moved the jug further, and said in a deep voice, "If I have to say something, it should be a little bit."

"oh?"

Hua Lao's gaze followed Chen Ze's movements. In his eyes, the half-drunk pot of wine seemed to be far more important than what Chen Ze said.

"What is it?"

Seeing Chen Ze move the jug out of his reach, he couldn't help frowning.

"Something strange."

Chen Ze said directly.

"strangeness?"

Hua Lao murmured, but still didn't have the slightest intention to wake up, he just lowered his head and asked, "How strange?"

"I think……"

Chen Ze looked at Hua Lao, and said word by word: "Perhaps...there are no spies sent by the enemy in this city lord's mansion."

"No?"

Hua Lao looked up at him drunkenly, "There are no spies?"

"I think..." Chen Ze bit his lip, and nodded solemnly after a while, "No!"

"joke!"

Hua Laoteng stood up suddenly, but he seemed to be suffering from alcohol, he stood up halfway and sat back down heavily, leaning his hands on the stone table, panting and said: "There are no enemies, and there are no spies. Why did the weird thing happen?"

"How did those five people die?"

When he spoke angrily, Chen Ze's eyes were fixed on Hua Lao's face, and he shook his head until he finished speaking, "Hua Lao, you may know some things better than me, so..."

After a long pause, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "There's no need to pretend anymore, right?"

silence.

Just as his voice fell, Chen Ze could clearly feel that the drunken old man in front of him was changing his aura at an astonishing speed.

The old man who looked harmless to humans and animals disappeared under his helpless gaze.

Instead, there was a mighty and mighty general!

Hua Lao was still the same Hua Lao, but he was no longer the Hua Lao that Chen Ze knew.

Although he still looks weak and unkempt, at this moment, what Chen Ze feels is not just an ordinary drunken old man, but a mountain that he needs to look up to!

The change in momentum was happening at an astonishing speed, but at this moment, Hua Lao didn't speak, just looked at Chen Ze silently.

His turbid drunken eyes also became clearer and clearer during this process, until his aura reached its peak, how could there be any trace of drunkenness in his eyes?

The slightly hunched body was straight at this moment. At this moment, Hua Lao is not only the mountain that Chen Ze needs to look up to, but also the sharp spear on the top of the mountain that pierces straight into the clouds. His aura is unparalleled for a moment!

However, under this aura, Chen Ze was not intimidated, he just watched Hua Lao's changes silently, until Hua Lao's aura reached its peak, he murmured with a wry smile: "Sure enough...it's you. "

This thoughtless sentence did not surprise Mr. Hua.

As Chen Ze said, he doesn't have to pretend anymore.

"How did you find out?"

The imposing Hua Lao asked coldly.

Chen Ze smiled wryly, "Isn't this the reminder you, Mr. Hua, gave me?"
