Chapter 0130 Bohai Gaohui
The two entered the north gate and walked into a restaurant called Sheng Tuaner. There were not many guests in the restaurant, and only half of the seats were seated. Zhang Xuan took A Yuan to the second floor and found a seat by the window to sit down.
"You sit opposite!" Zhang Xuan pointed to the seat opposite.
A Yuan was startled. How could a little maid be with her master? In Luo Mansion, this is the rule to break her legs. She hurriedly whispered: "I'll serve the young master to have a meal first, and I'll go downstairs later."
"Sit down!"
Zhang Xuan pretended to be unhappy and said, "What does it look like when standing beside me? Now outside, don't be so particular."
A Yuan had no choice but to sit down opposite him. Seeing that she looked well-behaved, Zhang Xuan handed her the menu carved on the bamboo board and smiled and said, "This is a good boy. Please order whatever you want!"
A Yuan muttered in a low voice, "Who is a good boy? He is twelve years old."
She took the menu and her eyes immediately shone. It was her suggestion to come to this restaurant. She knew that the dim sum in this restaurant was the most famous and her favorite. In the past, she saved some money, so she and her sisters came here to buy some dim sum.
As soon as she waved her hand, the bartender hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "What do you two want to eat?"
A Yuan looked at Zhang Xuan again timidly. The dim sum here is very expensive, and one piece costs ten five-zhu coins. I wonder how many young masters are going to order her?
Zhang Xuan understood her eyes and smiled and said, "Select as much as you want. If it is not enough, I will buy this tavern."
The bartender was startled, "The guest officer was joking."
"Haha! Just kidding, A Yuan, just click!"
A Yuan suddenly smiled, "Then I'm not polite, well! I'll give you a portion of Qiu Bawei. By the way, the crab roe dumplings in your store should be on sale these two days!"
"Miss is a regular customer! Crab roe dumplings just started selling yesterday."
"Then let's have one, remember, I want jade dumplings, I don't like golden dumplings, golden dumplings are too spicy."
"The villain remembers it."
Only then did A Yuan remember Zhang Xuan, stick out her tongue, and asked embarrassedly, "What do you want to eat?"
Seeing that she was quite interesting, Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "You can order whatever you want and just give me enough. You should know my appetite."
"I know what my master likes to eat the most!"
A Yuan ordered the bartender, "Give my son six portions of Hu cakes, half of the mutton and venison, a large plate of mutton sauce. By the way, another pot of wine will be added to it, and it will be iced."
The bartender was speechless, beloved! This young master has too much appetite, and most people can only eat two pieces of Hu cake at most. This young master actually wants six pieces. He didn't dare to show it, so he nodded and said, "Please sit for a while, the wine and food will come soon!"
The bartender went there quickly, and A Yuan smiled proudly and said, "I'm still quite useful!"
"It's really useful. I'll find you a good inn to stay in later."
A Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Why?"
"Because there are rules in the army, women cannot appear in the military camp. I am the chief general and have to take the lead in abide by the rules."
A Yuan was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Don't you want me again?"
"Where did you think of it? I just asked you to live outside. I stayed in the inn for three days. I will take you back to Luoyang the day after tomorrow."
"What should I do after returning to Luoyang?"
Zhang Xuan also had a headache, and an extra maid brought him a series of things. After thinking for a long time, he patted his forehead and said, "Let's do it! Anyway, I need to settle a house. After I go back to Luoyang, I will buy a small house, so you can live at home."
A Yuan felt relieved and letting herself live at home was almost the same. She didn't want to stay in any inn, which was not convenient at all. Thinking of the young master treating her well, she felt happy and couldn't help but feel happy.
Soon, the bartender brought the wine and food. A Yuan quickly picked up a crab roe dumpling and put it in his bowl. He said with a smile: "Try their crab roe dumpling. Jixian is very famous, crisp and fragrant. Every September, I dream of waiting for it to be on the market."
Zhang Xuan picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite. The golden red crab roe flowed out. It was just sweet and salty, and it was indeed extremely delicious. He immediately praised: "This is good!"
"I'm right!"
A Yuan was very well-behaved and happily filled Zhang Xuan with a glass of wine, "I heard that wine is good, so I'll drink it."
Zhang Xuan picked up the wine glass and sucked the iced wine. The mellow wine made him squint his eyes and carefully experiencing the icy taste. He hadn't tasted such a delicious taste for a long time.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a soapy short shirt quickly walked up to Zhang Xuan and gave a deep salute, "Is the young master General Zhang?"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Xuan's face slightly. He didn't like that someone interrupted him at this time. He enjoyed it with a rare pleasure.
"My master wants to say something to General Zhang, but I wonder if General Zhang can move?"
As he said that, the middle-aged man put a famous post on the small table in front of Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan glanced at it and found a snow-white post with a few small flowers painted at the corner. His handwriting was beautiful and vigorous. It should be a word written by a woman, with only four words on it, "Bohai Gaohui".
"But I don't know your master." Zhang Xuan pushed the post back, implying that he didn't want to see him.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "But my master has heard of General Zhang's name for a long time. He wants to meet a hero who can defeat Mr. Beijing at first sight."
Zhang Xuan's eyes immediately condensed with ice, and he asked slowly: "Where is your master?"
The other party actually knew what he was doing in Beihai, and also knew that Mr. Beijing was not simple! He felt a little curious about who he was?
"My owner is waiting on the third floor, please come with me."
Zhang Xuan smiled at Ah Yuan and said, "Eat slowly, I'll go see a friend and come back soon."
A Yuan was really worried, but she was a low-level figure and didn't know what to do. She watched Zhang Xuan go up to the third floor.
There are single elegant rooms on the third floor of the tavern. Zhang Xuan followed the middle-aged man to the east-most room. At the door were two burly and strong guards, with steel knives on their waists, motionless like sculptures. The middle-aged man stepped forward and knocked on the door, whispering: "Master, he is here!"
"Please come in!"
The room was the voice of a young woman, and Zhang Xuan nodded secretly. It turned out that Gao Hui was a young woman, Gao Hui of Bohai. I wonder if this Bohai refers to the Bohai Association or Bohai County?
"General Zhang, please clear!" The middle-aged man made way for the way
Zhang Xuan pushed the door open and walked into the room. It was an elegant but luxurious room. There was a rosewood screen. Through the tulle of the screen, you could vaguely see a young woman with a high bun standing in front of the window.
Zhang Xuan walked slowly across the screen and stared at the young woman. In fact, she was not too young. She was about thirty years old. She was tall and thin. She had a high bun. She had a jade hairpin on her black hair. She was wearing an apricot yellow satin skirt and a long red cloak on her shoulders. Her face was very thick, and the room was filled with a strong aroma of powder.
After Zhang Xuan came to the Sui Dynasty for more than half a year, he had gradually learned some common sense of dressing women, such as wearing a hairpin on his head, and wearing a hairpin on his girl.
There are also unmarried women with silk on their shoulders, a slender strap that wraps around their arms, while married women with a cloak, a slightly wider colorful satin scarf wraps the entire shoulder, and two broad straps are surrounded in front, also called Xiapei, and half of them can only be worn by a destiny woman with status.
Zhang Xuan bowed slightly, "Is Mrs. Gao looking for me?"
The woman looked at Zhang Xuan with her hands behind her back, and smiled and praised: "General Zhang is indeed a handsome talent, please sit down!"
The woman asked Zhang Xuan to sit down, and a maid came in and served tea. Zhang Xuan glanced at the tea bowl and asked again, "What's wrong with Mrs. Gao looking for me?"
"The general should know my name. Since my name is Bohai Gaohui, I think the general should also guess my identity?" The young Mrs. Gao looked at Zhang Xuan with a smile.
"Is Madam a member of the Bohai Society?" Zhang Xuan asked bluntly.
"General Zhang is very frank."
Mrs. Gao nodded and said lightly: "Not bad! I am a member of the Bohai Society."
Zhang Xuan did not have a deep understanding of the Bohai Society, but he also knew one thing that the Bohai Society was also called the Northern Qi Remnants Association, and was mainly established by ministers who destroyed the Northern Qi country.
Thirty years ago, with the Northern Qi Dynasty being destroyed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, large areas of fertile land and a large amount of wealth were occupied by the Guanlong nobles, thousands of nobles in the Northern Qi Dynasty were destroyed, and countless families were destroyed and gradually disappeared in the long river of history.
However, as Emperor Yang Guang of Sui ascended the throne, the struggle between Yang Guang and Guanlong nobles gradually intensified, the court began to turmoil, and the Northern Qi nobles who were originally dormant among the people began to move again.
In the third year of Daye, headed by the royal family Gao family, Duan family, Feng family, Murong family, Modolou family, Husi family and other six Northern Qi nobles, secretly formed the Bohai Association. They secretly contacted the Shandong gentry and obtained the support of the Shandong gentry. Their power gradually expanded and their financial resources became increasingly strong, becoming one of the four major opposition forces in the world.
However, unlike the public activities of the Guanlong nobles, the Bohai Association was extremely secretive. Until the eighth year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui attacked Goguryeo. The Bohai Association, who had been planning for many years, took the opportunity to send Wang Bo to rebel first in Changbai Mountain, Qi County, and kicked off the rebellion in Shandong at the end of the Sui Dynasty. The Bohai Association gradually walked from behind the scenes to the forefront.
The name of Mrs. Gao in front of Zhang Xuan is Gao Hui. She is the granddaughter of King Ande Gao Yanzong. She is one of the main decision-makers of the Bohai Association. She is shrewd and capable, and decisive. Although she is a woman, her tough style is better than that of a man. She is called the "female general" in the Bohai Association.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was silent, Gao Hui smiled and said, "Although General Zhang's righteous act in Beihai is unknown in the Central Plains, it caused a huge uproar in the northern part of the border. As long as the grassland tribes mention Mr. Zhang from Beihai, everyone will give him a thumbs up.
Of course, there are also people who hate you to the core, so there is no need to say about the Turks, but the Turks put their accounts on the Sui Dynasty, and the Jinshan Palace has already figured out your background. Don’t you know that you are already ranked sixth on the blacklist of the Jinshan Palace?”
Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I know nothing about these."
"But now you should know that you have not risen for a long time, but you have made great contributions repeatedly and have repeatedly formed strong enemies. As far as I know, you have already had four opponents, Yuwen Shu, Jinshan Palace, and you must have killed Yuan Wuning, the son of Molizhi of Goguryeo!"
Zhang Xuan was unmoved by her words and asked again: "Who is there another one?"
"Zhang Jinsheng!"
Gao Hui stared at Zhang Xuan with sharp eyes, "You just snatched his war horse at noon today. How could he let it go with you? Of course, he doesn't know yet, but if someone tells him, your trouble will be great."
Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a sense of disgust. Is this woman threatening him? He stood up and said coldly: "What do you want to say, please tell me!"
"Okay! Then I'll just say that Bohai will eliminate the feud between you and Jinshan Palace for you, and may also let Zhang Jinsheng not blame you for your past, and we can even solve it for you on Yuan Taizuo's side. If you want, we can also talk to Yuwen Shu. In short, your four opponents can be eliminated, but we have a condition."
"Loyalty to the Bohai Association, right!" Zhang Xuan sneered.
Gao Hui shook her head, "It's not called loyalty to the Bohai Association, but to join the Bohai Association. If you are willing to join the Bohai Association, we can find a way to make you the governor of Qijun. Moreover, you have not yet started a family. I have a sister who is extremely beautiful. I can betrothed her to you as a wife. As for money, I will give you as much as you want, status, beauty, and money, you can have everything. Aren't you moved at all?"
Zhang Xuan laughed, "What kind of virtue do I have? How can Meng Bohai be so favored?"
