"Yes, I did, but I''m not here."


    Old Hua smiled bitterly and said, "that guy is very smart. I know I won''t easily trust them this time, so in order to make me feel at ease, of course, they have to give some sincerity first."


    "Well, guess where people are now?"


    Speaking of this, he looked back at Chen Ze.


    "I think..."


    Chen Ze pondered: "if the Bai lie Empire wants to make Hua Lao believe in their sincerity, but can''t give people to you first for fear of your repentance, the best place to place the hostages should be..."


    He paused, his eyes burst into a mass of pure light, and said with great certainty: "it''s in Fengqi province!"


    As soon as he said this, there was a different color in old China''s eyes.


    "If I didn''t know you had just returned to bo''an City, I would doubt whether you were there."


    "Yes, if Bai lie Empire sent someone to bring it back, it really brought the more than 2000 people secretly into Fengqi province."


    "The scouts I stayed in Mohe province also sent back news almost at the same time. They did see that the brothers were secretly escorted out of Mohe Province, and followed them all the way to Fengqi province."


    Chen Ze nodded, which was consistent with his speculation.


    If Bailie Empire wants to convince Hua Lao, they naturally have to show some sincerity. At the same time, they will not be willing to return the hostages to Hua Lao before Hua Lao does anything.


    Then the place of compromise is Fengqi province.


    First of all, Fengqi province was originally the goal of Bailie empire. This time, whether Yan Haomiao or his successor, their primary goal is Fengqi province. As for Nantes Province, it''s better to get it, and it''s nothing if they can''t get it.


    Putting the hostages in Fengqi province will not only save China from attacking Mohe province from afar, but also give China and Laos the motivation to cooperate with them to seize Fengqi province.


    Another point is also in Ouyang''s strict execution.


    Ouyang Lixing, as the commander of Fengqi Province, is now trapped in Nantes province and cannot return to preside over the overall situation, which is naturally a best opportunity for the Bailie empire.


    At the same time, due to Ouyang''s absence, Fengqi province is very nervous at the moment that Mohe province takes the opportunity to break in, so most of their attention should be focused on Mohe province.


    At this time, sneaking more than 2000 people from remote places is also a good opportunity.


    Thus, Fengqi province has become a very suitable place for hostage exchange.


    As long as the spy of the Bai lie Empire successfully invades Fengqi Province, old Hua naturally has a way to save people with the scouts he left with the hostages.


    At that time, Bai lie Empire probably wouldn''t pay too much attention to these hostages. To be exact, this is a deal.


    Hua Lao helped them take Fengqi Province, and Bai lie Empire returned the hostages to Hua Lao.


    The reason why Yan Haomiao has not let go of people is not that the Chinese old man has another plot, but he knows very well that if he doesn''t have any hostages in his hand after putting the Chinese old man together, with the strength of the Chinese old man, he will send experts to Mohe province every minute to assassinate him!


    Yan Haomiao himself was born as a counselor, and his own force was not strong, so he naturally had to take hostages to ensure his safety.


    He knew very well that after five years, old Hua absolutely hated him. Anyway, Yan Haomiao would leave a way for himself.


    But this is only Yan Haomiao''s own idea.


    At the level of Bailie Empire, there would be no such concern.


    No matter how cruel old Hua is, can he send someone to assassinate the emperor of the Bailie Empire?


    Therefore, the level of consideration of both sides is different from that five years ago, so this cooperation can be achieved.


    As for Hua Lao''s trouble in his own city Lord''s house, as Chen Ze said, it is to divert attention.


    It''s the sight of Qingyang empire!


    At present, in terms of Qingyang Empire, most of the attention of all parties points to two aspects.


    One is Nantes Province, which is still occupied.


    Originally, Nante province should be in Zheng Yuanyun''s bag, and he can also make great achievements by taking the credit of Nante province and become the fourth national teacher of Qingyang empire.


    But it''s a pity that he didn''t succeed in the end.


    But then again, Zheng Yuanyun can''t succeed, which is probably what many high-ranking generals in Qingyang Empire want to see.


    Only Zheng Yuanyun''s failure can give them a chance to stand up and make great contributions.


    More importantly, the opportunity to seize Nantes province has not disappeared!


    Nantes province is in charge of the four main cities of anluoxing Province, and now it is still in the hands of Qingyang empire!


    In other words, if anyone can get up a sufficient number of troops in the shortest time, he may go to Nantes province to take a big share!


    Who doesn''t want to?


    It is no secret that the imperial royal family promised Zheng Yuanyun to promote him to the rank of national teacher after his success. It has been widely spread for a long time.


    At that time, I didn''t know how many high-ranking generals were stuck at the general rank and the general rank.


    Now Zheng Yuanyun doesn''t work hard. He didn''t get this amazing achievement, so he realized that others have a chance.


    Who is not jealous?


    This is one of the reasons why most of the attention is now focused on the side of the province of anlok.


    As for the second reason, it is Hua Lao.


    The sudden return of Hua Lao will naturally catch those who have ambitions for Nantes province by surprise.


    Although Hua Lao has retired for five years and his strength has been greatly reduced, at the same time, they have to worry about his former identity.


    The boss was a famous Qingyang wise general in the mainland!


    If Hua Lao wants to stand up for this credit, they have to weigh whether they are enough to compete with Qingyang Zhijiang.


    What''s more, if Hua Lao wants to make a comeback, where can he not make a comeback? Why is it in anluoxing province?


    Does this not also prove from the side that China and Laos are ambitious?


    This is the second reason.


    The third, of course, is the old friends of Hua Lao.


    Those... National teachers and generals who quickly divided up the Chinese and Lao forces while he lost power.


    Their sight is naturally here.


    It can be said that today''s bo''an city in anluohang province has become the most focused area within the Qingyang empire.


    Under the gaze of so many eyes, why is it difficult for Hua Lao to make some small moves?


    It''s also because there are so many eyes staring at every move of Nantes province. How can you escape these eyes?


    Then, only by diverting our attention can we ensure the smooth progress of the plan on the other side of Nantes province.


    Therefore, in the end, Hua Lao can only take himself as a way to divert his attention.


    He can''t let people stop staring at bo''an City, so he can only lead his eyes to himself as much as possible!
