The two entered the north gate and walked into a wine shop called Sheng Tuan'er, there were not many customers in the wine shop, and only half of the seats were seated, Zhang Xuan took Ah Yuan to the second floor and found a seat by the window to sit down.

"You sit across from you!" Jang Hyun pointed to the opposite seat.

Ah Yuan was startled, how could she be a little maid at the same table with her master, this is the rule to break her leg in Luofu, she hurriedly whispered: "I'll serve my son to eat first, and I'll go downstairs later." ”

"Sit down!"

Zhang Xuan pretended to be unhappy and said: "What does it look like to stand next to me, now that you are outside, don't be so particular." ”

Ah Yuan had no choice but to sit down opposite him obediently, Zhang Xuan saw that she looked well-behaved, so he handed her the menu engraved on the bamboo board, and said with a smile: "This is a good child, order what you want to eat!" ”

Ah Yuan muttered in a low voice, "Who is a good child, everyone is twelve years old." ”

She took the menu, her eyes immediately lit up, coming to this wine shop was her suggestion, she knew that this wine shop was the most famous dim sum, and it was also her favorite, she used to save a little money, she and her little sisters came here to buy a few snacks.

She beckoned, and the bartender hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, "What do you two want to eat?" ”

Ah Yuan glanced at Zhang Xuan timidly, the dim sum here is very expensive, one costs ten five baht, I don't know how many Gongzi allows her to order?

Zhang Xuan understood her eyes and said with a smile: "You can order as much as you want, if it's not enough, I'll buy this wine shop." ”

The bartender was taken aback," the guest officer said, laughing. ”

"Huh! Just kidding, Yuan, albeit point! ”

Ah Yuan suddenly smiled, "Then I'm welcome, um!" Let's have one of the same autumn flavors, by the way, the crab roe dumplings in your store should be on sale in the past two days! ”

"The girl is a regular customer! Crab roe dumplings went on sale yesterday. ”

"Then have a copy, remember, I want jade dumplings, I don't like Jin dumplings, Jin dumplings are too spicy."

"The villain remembered."

Ah Yuan thought of Zhang Xuan at this time, stuck out his tongue, and asked embarrassedly, "What does Childe want to eat?" ”

Zhang Xuan saw that she was quite interesting, and said with a smile: "You can order whatever you want, just give me enough food, you should know how much I eat." ”

"I know what Childe likes to eat the most!"

Ah Yuan instructed the bartender, "Give my son-in-law six portions of Hu cakes, half of the mutton and half of the venison, a large plate of mutton with sauce, by the way, and a pot of wine, which must be chilled." ”

The bartender listened to it at a glance, obediently! This son's meal is too large, ordinary people can only eat two pieces of Hu cake at most, this son actually asked for six, he didn't dare to show it, and quickly nodded and said, "Please sit down, the wine and food will come soon!" ”

The bartender walked quickly, and Ah Yuan smiled proudly: "I'm still quite useful!" ”

"It's really useful, I'll find you a good inn to live in later."

Ah Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Why?" ”

"Because there are rules in the army, women can't appear in the barracks, I'm the main general, and I have to take the lead in abiding by the rules."

Ah Yuan was so anxious that he was about to cry, "Childe doesn't want me again?" ”

"Where do you want to go, I just let you live outside, stay in the inn for three days, and I'll take you back to Luoyang the day after tomorrow."

"Then what should I do after I go back to Luoyang?"

Zhang Xuan also had a little headache, and one more maid brought him a series of things, and after thinking about it for a long time, he patted his forehead and said, "That's it!" Anyway, I also need to settle down, I will buy a small house when I return to Luoyang, and you will live at home. ”

Ah Yuan's heart was put down, it was almost the same to let herself live at home, she didn't want to live in any inn, it was not convenient at all, thinking that her son treated her well, she was happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but be happy.

Not long after, the bartender brought the wine and food, Ah Yuan hurriedly sandwiched a crab roe dumpling and put it in his bowl, and said with a smile: "Try their crab roe dumplings, Jixian is very famous, crispy and fragrant, I dream of waiting for it to go on the market every September." ”

Zhang Xuan took a bite with chopsticks, and the golden-red crab roe flowed out inside, sweet and salty, and it was really delicious, he immediately praised: "This is good!" ”

"I'm right!"

Ah Yuan was very well-behaved, and happily poured a full glass of wine for Zhang Xuan, "I heard that the wine is also good, son, drink a glass." ”

Jang Hyun picked up his glass and took a sip of cold wine, the mellow aroma of the wine made him squint his eyes and savor the icy taste of his heart, he had not tasted such a delicacy for a long time.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a soap-colored short coat walked quickly in front of Zhang Xuan and gave a deep salute, "Childe is General Zhang?" ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xuan's face sank slightly, he didn't like it to be interrupted by someone at this time.

"My master wants to say a few words to General Zhang, I wonder if General Zhang can move?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man put a famous post on the small table in front of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan glanced at it, it was a snow-white post, and a few small flowers were drawn in the corners, and the handwriting was beautiful and strong, it should be a woman's words, and there were only four words on it, 'Bohai Gaohui'.

"But I don't know your master." Jao Hyun pushed the post back, implying that he didn't want to see it.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "But my master has heard of General Zhang's name for a long time, and I want to see a hero who can defeat Mr. Beijing." ”

Zhang Xuan's eyes immediately froze with a layer of ice, and he asked slowly, "Where is your master?" ”

The other party actually knows what he did in Beihai, and he also knows that Mr. Beijing, the origin is not simple! He was a little curious in his heart, who was the master?

"My master is waiting on the third floor, please come with me."

Zhang Xuan smiled at Ah Yuan and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go see a friend and come back immediately." ”

Ah Yuan was really a little worried, but her status was low, and she didn't know what to do, so she watched Zhang Xuan go up to the third floor.

The third floor of the restaurant is a single private room, Zhang Xuan followed the middle-aged man to the easternmost room, there were two burly and sturdy guards standing at the door, with steel knives at their waists, motionless like sculptures, the middle-aged man stepped forward and knocked on the door, and said in a low voice: "Master, he is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

The room was a young woman's voice, Zhang Xuan nodded secretly, it turned out that this Gao Hui was a young woman, Bohai Gao Hui, I don't know if this Bohai refers to Bohai Society, or Bohai County?

"General Zhang, let's clear!" The middle-aged man got out of the way

Jang Hyun pushed the door and walked into the room, which was an elegant and luxurious room, facing a rosewood screen, through the tulle of the screen, a young woman with a high bun could be faintly seen standing in front of the window.

Zhang Xuan slowly walked across the screen, looking at this young woman, in fact, she was not too young, about thirty years old, tall and thin, with a high bun, a jasper hairpin in her black hair, wearing an apricot yellow satin skirt, a red long curtain around her shoulders, her face was full of makeup, and the room was filled with a strong smell of incense.

Zhang Xuan came to the Sui Dynasty for more than half a year, and he has gradually learned some common sense of women's dress, such as wearing a hairpin on her head is generally a married woman, and a girl is wearing a hairpin.

There are also unmarried women with shawls on their shoulders, a kind of slender belt, wrapped around the arms, married women are scarves, slightly wider multicolored satin scarves, wrapping the entire shoulders, two wide bands around the front, also called Xia Wei, half of them can be worn by women with status.

Zhang Xuan bowed slightly, "Is Mrs. Gao looking for me?" ”

The woman looked at Zhang Xuan with her hands, smiled and praised: "General Zhang is really a talent, please sit down!" ”

The woman invited Zhang Xuan to sit down, and a maid came in to serve tea, Zhang Xuan glanced at the tea bowl and asked, "What is the matter 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 Madame 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 didn't know much about the Bohai Society, but he also knew that the Bohai Society, also known as the Northern Qi Relics Association, was mainly established by the ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Thirty years ago, with the destruction of the Northern Qi Dynasty by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Qizhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, Bingzhou and other large areas of rich land and a large amount of wealth were occupied by the Guanlong nobles, thousands of nobles of the Northern Qi Dynasty were wiped out, and countless families were ruined and gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

However, with the accession of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to the throne, the struggle between Yang Guang and the nobles of Guanlong gradually intensified, the imperial court began to turmoil, and the nobles of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who had been dormant among the people, began to stir again.

In the third year of the great cause, headed by the six Northern Qi nobles such as the Gao family, the Duan family, the Feng family, the Murong family, the Mo Duolou family, and the Hu Si family, they secretly established the Bohai Society, and they secretly contacted the Shandong Shi clan and obtained the support of the Shandong Shi clan, and their power gradually expanded, and their financial resources became increasingly abundant, becoming one of the four major opposition forces in the world.

However, unlike the public activities of the Guanlong nobles, the Bohai Society was extremely secretive, until the eighth year of the Great Cause, when Emperor Yang Guangju of the Sui Dynasty attacked Goguryeo, and the Bohai Society, which had been planning for many years, took the opportunity to send Wang Bo to take the lead in the rebellion in Changbai Mountain, Qi County, which opened the prelude to the rebellion in Shandong at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the Bohai Society gradually came to the foreground from behind the scenes.

Zhang Xuan's wife in front of him is named Gao Hui, the granddaughter of Gao Yanzong, King of Ande, one of the main decision-makers of the Bohai Society, shrewd and capable, decisive in action, although she is a woman, her tough style is better than that of men, and she is called 'female general' in the Bohai Society.

Gao Hui saw that Zhang Xuan was silent, and said with a smile: "Although General Zhang's righteous deeds in Beihai are not known in the Central Plains, they have caused an uproar in Saibei.

Of course, there are also people who hate you to the bone, needless to say the Turks, but the Turks are putting the accounts on the Sui Dynasty, and the Jinshan Palace has already figured out your details, don't you know that you are already ranked sixth on the black list of the Jinshan Palace? ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I don't know anything about this. ”

"But now you should know, you haven't been rising for a long time, but you have made great achievements, and at the same time, you have repeatedly formed strong enemies, as far as I know, you already have four opponents, Yuwenshu, Jinshan Palace, and Yuan Wuning, the son of Goguryeo Molizhi, was killed by you!"

Jang Hyun was unmoved by her words, and asked again, "Who else is there?" ”

"Zhang Jin said!"

Gao Hui looked at Zhang Xuan with sharp eyes, "You just snatched his war horse at noon today, how can he give up with you, of course, he doesn't know it yet, but if someone tells him, you will be in big trouble." ”

Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a burst of disgust in his heart, is this woman threatening herself? He stood up and said coldly: "What the hell does Madame want to say, please say it directly!" ”

"Alright! Then I'll say it directly, the Bohai Society can eliminate the old feud between you and Jinshan Palace for you, or let Zhang Jincheng not blame you for the past, and even Yuan Taizuo's side can solve it for you, if you want, we can also talk to Yuwen Shu, in short, your four opponents can be eliminated, but we have one condition. ”

"Loyalty to the Bohai Society, right!" Zhang Xuan sneered.

Gao Hui shook his head, "It's not called allegiance to the Bohai Society, but to join the Bohai Society, if you are willing to join the Bohai Society, we can find a way to make you the general guard of Qi County, and you haven't married yet, I have a younger sister, she is beautiful, I can marry her to you as a wife, as for money, I will give you as much as you want, status, beauty, money, you can have everything, aren't you tempted at all?" ”

Zhang Xuan laughed, "What virtue do I have, how can I be so favored by Meng Bohai?" ”
