After entering the inn, Zhang Liang turned to Liu Yu and asked, "Now you can tell me what you want to talk to me about, right?"

There was a hint of curiosity and caution in his tone.

Liu Yu looked around and confirmed that only Zhang Liang's men were present before he spoke cautiously, "You must be Zhang Liang, the young master of the Wu Kingdom!"

Although the voice was small, it was clearly heard by everyone.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's pupils suddenly shrank and a feeling of surprise surged in his heart.

He didn't expect that his true identity would be seen through by the old man in front of him at a glance.

Zhao Ruoruo, who was not far away, also showed a surprised expression. Obviously, she also heard what Liu Yu said.

Zhong Xueqing leaned close to Zhao Ruoruo's ear and whispered, "Sister Ruoruo, how did he recognize Brother Zhang Liang? Brother Zhang Liang clearly doesn't look like himself anymore."

Zhao Ruoruo shook her head, frowned slightly, and whispered: "I don't know either!"

Liu Yu's words made Zhao Ruoruo doubt for the first time whether her makeup skills were not up to par yet.

Zhao Ruoruo's heart also began to waver.

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, Zhong Tian, ​​Zeng Guodong and others immediately narrowed their eyes and looked around vigilantly.

The atmosphere in the inn suddenly became tense, and everyone felt the uneasiness in the air.

After hearing Liu Yu's words, Zhang Liang smiled lightly, trying to resolve this sudden awkward situation.

He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "This Liu Yujia is really joking. How could I possibly be Zhang Liang? He's a wanted criminal of the imperial court. If you tell anyone about this, I'll be killed!"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhang Liang's tone, but his eyes revealed a subtle nervousness.

However, Liu Yu shook his head firmly, looked at Zhang Liang with a sharp gaze, and said in a firm tone: "I won't admit my mistake! Your temperament is very similar to that of Duke Wu! And your behavior is also like that of Duke Wu!"

Liu Hu on the side frowned, obviously puzzled by his father's words.

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Father, did you recognize the wrong person? How could this person be the son of Duke Wu?"

Although the Wuguo Mansion is now regarded as a traitor by the court, Liu Hu has a deep admiration for the Wuguo Mansion under the influence of his father.

Now, he suddenly heard that Zhang Liang, the person with whom he had a grudge, was actually the youngest son of Duke Wu. This was a little hard for him to accept.

Liu Yu shook his head, his eyes swept around firmly, and his voice was filled with unquestionable determination: "I won't admit my mistake! I have been with Duke Wu for many years, and I know his every word and action very well. I will definitely not be wrong!"

Hearing Liu Yu's affirmative words, Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

He didn't expect that his true identity would be revealed in such an occasion, and he didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary Liu Yu in front of him actually had such a deep connection with him.

Liu Yu then turned to Liu Hu, tears glistening in his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Back then, a rich young man wanted to bully your mother. Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise... your mother might have..."

At this point, Liu Yu's voice choked up, and it was obvious that the memory was both painful and unforgettable for him.

"But I beat that rich young man half to death!"

Liu Yu suddenly raised his voice, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, but then dimmed. "When Duke Wu learned about this, he was afraid that I would be retaliated against, so he expelled me from the army."

"But he gave me money so that we could settle down in Ninggu City."

At this point, Liu Yu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued, "After hearing the news of the demise of Duke Wu's Mansion, I couldn't sleep all the time. I regretted not repaying Duke Wu's kindness sooner!"

"Seeing you now is like seeing the Duke of Wu back then. It makes me feel both relieved and heartbroken."

Zhang Liang listened quietly to Liu Yu's narration, with indescribable emotions surging in his heart.

After hearing his father's words, Liu Hu's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

He had deep feelings for his mother, and his father's words evoked his deep longing for his mother and memories of the past.

Tears rolled down his cheeks, but he was unaware of it, simply immersed in the complex emotions.

After hearing Liu Yu's story, Zhang Liang showed a complicated expression on his face.

There was both emotion and confusion in his eyes. After all, he didn't know how much truth there was in the old man's words.

Zhang Liang sighed and said, "Old man, I'm deeply moved by your story, but I'm not the Duke of Wu's son! Perhaps you've got the wrong person!"

Liu Yu was stunned when he heard Zhang Liang's words.

He thought that after hearing what he said, Zhang Liang would reveal his identity, but he didn't expect Zhang Liang to be so vigilant.

However, Liu Yu immediately understood Zhang Liang's reaction.

After all, people all over the country are looking for Zhang Liang's whereabouts, so it is normal for him to be so vigilant.

Liu Yu nodded, a look of apology on his face, and then said, "I understand, sir, I am sorry for being so rude!"

There was a hint of sincerity in his tone, and he was obviously a little sorry for his rash behavior.

After saying this, Liu Yu looked at Liu Hu beside him and whispered to him, "Let's go!"

Liu Hu was confused when he heard Liu Yu's words.

He had just heard his father say with certainty that Zhang Liang was the youngest son of Duke Wu, so why was he suddenly apologizing now?

He was full of doubts, but facing his father's decision, he didn't dare to ask. He could only nod silently and follow Liu Yu out of the inn.

Looking at their leaving backs, Zhang Liang narrowed his eyes, and a complex light flashed in his eyes.

He turned his head and said to Zhong Tian beside him: "Master Zhong, do you think what he said is credible?"

Zhong Tian pondered for a moment, then replied, "I'm not sure, but he definitely knows our identities now. My lord, we must be more careful."

Zhang Liang nodded and became secretly alert.

After leaving the inn, Liu Hu asked curiously, "Father, is that man really not Zhang Liang?"

There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his tone, and he was obviously very confused by Liu Yu's actions just now.

After hearing his son's words, Liu Yu stopped, turned around, and looked at him calmly. He said slowly, "I did admit my mistake."

There was no fluctuation in his tone, as if he was describing a very ordinary matter.

Then, Liu Yu added: "And don't mess with this person in the future, or I will break your legs!"

Liu Hu looked at his father's serious expression, and his heart trembled. He nodded quickly and said, "I understand, Father!"

After saying this, the father and son walked together towards the carriage parked on the side of the road.

Liu Hu followed his father cautiously, fearing that he would do something to displease his father again.

At this time, Li Zhong, who already knew where Zhang Liang and his men were staying, came to Huang Xu's mansion with several young girls.

He looked up at the tall gate tower, then said to the servants at the door, "I'm here to see Young Master Huang. Please let him know."

Hearing his words, the servant nodded, then turned and walked in.

Not long after, the servant came out, waved to him and said, "Go in!"

When Li Zhong heard what the servant said, he immediately took the girls into the mansion.

They walked through a long corridor and came to a hall.

Huang Xu's eyes lit up when he saw the girls following Li Zhong.

However, when he saw their faces clearly, his expression turned ugly.

He frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why are the quality of these women getting worse and worse?"

Li Zhong muttered to himself, "You've almost ruined them all. These are the best we can find."

But he didn't dare to say that out loud, so he could only smile and say, "Young Master Huang, this time it was indeed a bit hasty, but these girls have all been carefully selected, you see..."

Huang Xu waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him: "Forget it, forget it, you go down first and let them stay."

After hearing Huang Xu's words, Li Zhong did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood there and said, "Mr. Huang, we now know where those people are staying. What should we do next?"

After hearing his words, Huang Xu's lustful eyes left the girls and turned to Li Zhong.

He narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about something, and then waved to Li Zhong.

Seeing this action, Li Zhong immediately walked forward and got close to Huang Xu.

Huang Xu whispered in his ear, and Li Zhong nodded as he listened.
