Seeing that she was wearing a thick deer leather jacket, a black skirt with gold edges underneath, wrapped tightly, Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Isn't it good to be a very comfortable person?"

"But the general doesn't consider security issues?"

"If the lady wants to assassinate me, I will definitely not be able to escape."

"General Zhang is really good at telling jokes. I can't assassinate the person who can defeat Zhang Xutuo with a halberd."

Zhang Xuan's heart moved. It turned out that she was also present when she was competing with Zhang Xutuo. She had just arrived in Licheng County. She obviously met her by chance. Could it be that she was trying to attack Zhang Xutuo?

The more Zhang Xuan thought about it, the more likely it was, otherwise she wouldn't have appeared in the martial arts hall so by chance, nor would she meet herself in the winery.

After understanding this in his heart, Zhang Xuan was not anxious. He ordered another wine glass, ordered a few more dishes, and gave Gao Hui a glass of wine and asked, "Madam, you are very leisurely!"

Gao Huijiao smiled and said, "Where did they have leisure time? Didn't you tell me? They will wait for your news in Qijun."

"Madam has been waiting for me for a month?" Zhang Xuan said in a pretentious manner.

"Not that. I went back to Ye County halfway and returned to Qi County yesterday."

Before Zhang Xuan could speak, she waved her hand and said, "It was just a coincidence that I met General Zhang. Actually, I wanted to visit Mr. Zhang. I happened to see you going to the martial arts hall."

Zhang Xuan drank the wine in the glass in one go, nodded and smiled, "Madam is very frank!"

Gao Hui bowed slightly and lowered her voice, "Actually, I know why Zhang Dashuai is looking for you? I also know his difficulties. Maybe I can help you solve this problem."

Zhang Xuan asked with a smile without saying a word: "What is the problem that the lady is talking about?"

"General Zhang, you know better than me. The court has promised an empty reward for 300,000 guan of silk, but you can't take it out. How can you explain to the soldiers?"

"Mrs. means that Bohai will be willing to take out these money and goods?"

Gao Hui sat upright again, staring at Zhang Xuan with a squinted eyes and said with a smile: "Although we are not well-off, if Jacky Cheung is willing to accept it, we can also take out the money and goods."

“Are there any conditions?”

"Of course there are conditions!"

Gao Hui smiled meaningfully and said, "If I say there are no conditions, I believe you won't accept it. I'm right!"

"But how did you know that Jacky Cheung would accept it?"

Gao Hui shook her head, "I don't know. That's why I came to ask you for help. I hope you can introduce Zhang Dashuai for me. I want to have a good talk with him. As long as you are willing to help introduce, it will definitely be your benefits."

Zhang Xuan then slowly understood. It turned out that Bohai would find himself, but he just wanted to be a bridge for himself. Their real goal was actually Zhang Xutuo.

Zhang Xuan had to admire Bohai for his vision and actually set his sight on Zhang Xutuo. Of course, as long as Zhang Xutuo joins the Bohai Association, the entire Shandong region will return to the Bohai Association, and Dou Jiande and Gao Shida in Hebei will be there. If Youzhou wins over another Luo Yi or Guo Xuan, then Youzhou will also return to the Bohai Association, which is equivalent to restoring the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

This transaction is cost-effective! 300,000 guan and 100,000 pieces of silk can occupy the entire Shandong. I have never seen such a smart person.

A thought suddenly arose in Zhang Xuan's mind: Bohai will have been thinking about Zhang Xutuo for a long time. Could it be that they have found Zhang Xutuo's weakness?

"How is it, are you willing to help me?" Gao Hui asked step by step.

Zhang Xuan felt the anxiousness in the other party's heart, and then smiled and asked, "What would I do if I helped you meet the Grandmaster?"

"Of course you have benefits!"

Gao Hui smiled sly. "I still remember the Prince of Beihai that I once said, you are now stationed in Beihai County. Do you think it would be that coincidental?"

The reason why Zhang Xuan stationed troops in Beihai County was his own choice. It had nothing to do with Gao Hui, but Gao Hui said this was another meaning. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Xuan immediately understood that she must be referring to the prefect of Beihai Liang Zhi. Could it be that Liang Zhi is from the Bohai Association?

The more Zhang Xuan thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He decided to investigate this matter clearly. He could tolerate Liang Zhi's selfishness and his corruption, but he could never tolerate Bohai's intervention in Beihai County.

"Okay! I will find an opportunity to talk to Dashuai about this matter first, and then I will give you news." Zhang Xuan decided to use this opportunity to find out Liang Zhi's true background.

"when?"

Gao Hui said unambiguously: "I want the specific time!"

Zhang Xuan thought for a while, "It's not possible today. I'll find an opportunity to talk to Dashuai tomorrow. I don't know if he wants to meet you. He decides when he will meet you. I don't know. I have to talk to him first."

"I look forward to good news from General Zhang!"

Gao Hui stood up enchantingly, took out a note and placed it on the table, "This is my address. You can find me here. I'll go first."

She gave Zhang Xuan a charming look, turned around and put on the hat, and went downstairs with charm. Zhang Xuan picked up the note with the words "Yuelai Inn" written on it.

Zhang Xuan put the address in his arms, picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He didn't care about that for the time being, and he had to fill his stomach first, "Barman, serve the food!"

Just above Zhang Xuan's head, in a gap on the floor on the third floor, a pair of bright eyes were watching the interview between Zhang Xuan and Gao Hui. It was unknown whether he could hear the conversation on the second floor. But as Gao Hui left, the bright eyes also left.

Night fell quietly, and at the same time, the drums of the curfew in Licheng County also rumbling. This is the rule of Licheng County. After dark, the curfew is implemented. The shops must be closed and everyone must go home. If they are caught by patrol soldiers, they will be imprisoned. Last year, Zhang Xutuo killed several drunkards who violated the curfew three times in a row, causing a sensation in the city. No one dared to violate the curfew order again.

Yuelai Inn is located in the north of the city and is one of the three major inns in Licheng County. It covers an area of ​​ten acres and has good facilities and conditions. Of course, the price is relatively expensive. Generally, large caravans will settle here.

There are four separate courtyards behind Yuelai Inn. Currently, all four separate courtyards are included by one customer, and other guests are not allowed to come to the backyard. The shopkeeper only knows that the person who takes over the separate courtyard is called Mrs. Gao, who brought more than a dozen followers, and more than a dozen followers lived in four courtyards.

Of course, Mrs. Gao was Gao Hui. Gao Hui lived in a courtyard to the east with three close-up maids. There were five rooms in the yard, on both sides were wing rooms, in the middle a suite, and next to it was a room specially designed for storing miscellaneous items. The yard was planted with various flowers and plants, and an old apricot tree.

But winter is coming, flowers and plants wither, leaves wither, the yard is covered with thick snow, and a clump of chrysanthemums have buds, waiting for the blooming time.

Gao Hui lives in the inner room of the suite, and the outer room is her study room, and three maids live in the next room.

At this time, Gao Hui was at the desk and wrote a secret letter to the brother of Ye County, the Bohai Association leader Gao Xian. Her purpose of winning over Zhang Xuan was originally for Zhang Xutuo, but today when she saw Zhang Xuan and Zhang Xutuo's competition, Gao Hui discovered Zhang Xuan's ability. She was moved and decided to change her strategy. Even if Zhang Xutuo could not win over, she would still pull Zhang Xuan into the Bohai Association.

She wanted Zhang Xuan to replace Zhang Xutuo, but this major matter must be decided by her brother Gao Xian.

After writing the letter, Gao Hui put down her pen and rubbed her hands gently. She felt that the room was cold. When she turned around, she saw that the brazier had been extinguished. She shouted unhappily: "Xiao Cui, come here to change the brazier!"

But no one agreed next door. She stood up and opened the door to go out. Just as she opened the door, a long sword with a cold light pierced quickly, as fast as lightning, and reached her in the blink of an eye.

Gao Hui was shocked and quickly flashed. The sword wiped her face. Her ear hurt a lot. Her left ear was cut off by the sword. Gao Hui screamed and kicked it out. She rolled back her body, grabbed the chair and smashed it hard towards the door.

With a 'Crack!', the chair was kicked to pieces, and a slim black shadow flashed in like a ghost, and a long sword stabbed Gao Hui's chest.

Gao Hui's martial arts skills were also very strong. As soon as she turned over and avoided the sword, she instantly pulled out the dagger left to her by her grandfather from her boots, and waved her hand back and slashed away. With a "click", her dagger cuts iron like mud, and even cuts the opponent's long sword into two pieces.

At this moment, Gao Hui's personal maid suddenly shouted next door, "Come on, come! Someone assassinate the wife!"

The assassin's sword was broken, and she threw it at Gao Hui casually. She turned over and jumped out of the window. Gao Hui screamed and jumped into the yard.

I saw a clear moon hanging on the treetops, and the assassin's figure was gone. Gao Hui's face was covered with blood. She covered her broken ear wound, and she trembled with hatred. She knelt on the ground all at once. She was actually disfigured by a female assassin. (To be continued)
