Chapter 26 Sit back and wait.

Zhu Gaoxu grabbed the woman's wrist, took her hand away from his leg, and said, "Sister, have you ever met a customer with unusual hobbies?"

"Yo?" The woman's eyes stayed on Zhu Gaoxu's face, "Does Mr. Lang have any unusual hobbies? Let's talk about it first. The bones in this slave's body can't withstand the unusual torture. What kind of whip | beating with force?" I can’t bear it. If the husband insists on doing this, the price must be calculated well, and how long will the slave family have to take care of to maintain a good health..."

"It's not that rough and violent." Zhu Gaoxu said.

The woman sat upright slightly and said, "Say."

Zhu Gaoxu put his fingers on his chin and rubbed it twice, then scratched the back of his head. "Some people don't like to go into battle by themselves and just want to watch, especially peek, and they will get great comfort."

"Ha!" the woman laughed. "You lied to the slave family, right?"

Zhu Gaoxu took the woman's hand away again, thought hard for a moment, and simply took out a handful of treasure notes from his arms and placed it on the bed, "I hid in the penthouse to spy on my sister Yun Yu, and I counted it five times a time." Treasure money, until I am satisfied. If the money is not enough, how about I make up for it before I leave?"

"Wuguan? Just watch?" the woman said in surprise.

This price is obviously very expensive. The carefully selected girls from Fule Yuan in the capital cost only about copper coins, which is considered the most expensive and luxurious place. In this shabby alley, it is not impossible for the price to be as low as twenty or thirty cents.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and said humbly, "I am also very distressed. It is not easy to feel comfortable for once. Do you agree, sister?"

The woman grabbed the banknotes on the bed, counted them in her hand, looked through the small window, turned back and said with a smile, "Okay, isn't it for you to make me feel good? But you mustn't make a sound, my dear, in case the guests notice and cause trouble."

"Don't worry, sister." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Zhu Gaoxu stood up and walked into the side room next door. It was even darker inside, and he had a hard time adjusting his eyes. After observing for a while, he found that there was a bed and a square stool in the small room, nothing else. He turned around, closed the door, and bolted it. Looking through the crack in the door, he could just see the head of the bed.

After waiting for a long time, the woman brought in a middle-aged fat man, who was not Zhang Xin.

I guess Zhang Xin likes this type of thing, and doesn't like reserved women. Otherwise, this place and this beauty don't seem to be able to attract a nobleman to come back again and again.

Zhu Gaoxu was bored waiting for something to happen, so he speculated that the prostitute Zhang Xin and Qi Tai had fought over was probably the same type of woman, a little younger at best. Zhang Xin's hobbies probably hadn't changed.

After waiting for a whole half day, Zhang Xin still didn't come. Zhu Gaoxu calmed down and planned to eat and live here. He didn't believe that he would not wait for him!

This difficulty was no problem for Zhu Gaoxu now. In his previous life, what would be difficult for a person of his birth and status to accomplish? The light became dimmer, and the woman brought an oil lamp to the bedroom. The flame was as small as a bean, but the room was still dim and not very clear.

Just when Zhu Gaoxu was bored, he suddenly heard a voice talking outside.

He hurriedly looked out through the crack in the door and saw a big man wearing a futou and a gray robe. Who else could it be but Zhang Xin? Zhu Gaoxu stood still and observed carefully for a long time until he was completely sure of the man.

He waited calmly, not in a hurry to disturb Zhang Xin. After a long while, when the exaggerated noise outside died down, Zhu Gaoxu stood up from the broken stool at the door.

Zhu Gaoxu grabbed the wooden door with his left hand and gently placed his right hand on the bolt. Suddenly, he quickly pulled open the bolt with one hand and opened the door with the other, and then jumped out. The whole process seemed to happen at the same moment.

"Fuck you!" Zhang Xin was shocked and cursed. He then widened his eyes and said, "Who the fuck are you?" He grabbed a pillow and held it in his hand, as if he was holding a brick, ready to hit him at any time.

"Ah!" The woman also exclaimed, but soon she looked sad and looked at Zhu Gaoxu with some anger.

"One of our own!" Zhu Gaoxu immediately took out a gold-inlaid waist badge and handed it to Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin glanced at the badge, then glanced at Zhu Gaoxu, "You..."

Zhu Gaoxu turned to the woman and said, "You don't need to return the money I gave you before. I know this guest. Can we chat for a while?"

The woman turned to Zhang Xin, who waved his hand and said, "Go out."

"Oh, oh..." The woman hurriedly picked up her clothes and ran out of the bedroom.

Zhu Gaoxu followed him out, closed the door of the hall, and went back to the bedroom. Zhang Xin was busy getting dressed.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on a rattan chair and said, "General Zhang, no one knows this place. It is impossible for anyone else to have seen us. It is convenient for us to talk, otherwise the woman would not have shouted so loudly just now."

"Hmph!" Zhang Xin snorted in response and just focused on getting dressed, seeming to be in a hurry to leave.

Zhu Gaoxu observed his progress in getting dressed and spoke a little faster, "General Zhang, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"Why?" Zhang Xin responded casually.

Zhu Gaoxu said, "Last month, my two brothers and I went to the capital and heard that the Minister of War Qi Tai wanted to punish you to death. What did General Zhang do to offend him recently?"

Zhang Xin immediately raised his head and asked, "Who told you that?"

Zhu Gaoxu said, "It's not just one person. People from the Governor's Office and several royal relatives are all saying it. Don't you know?"

Zhang Xin paused for a moment, frowned, and said nothing.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "The enemy of my enemy can naturally become my friend. That's why my father chose General Zhang."

"Hmph!" Zhang Xin made another sound, the meaning of which was unclear and no one knew what it meant.

Zhu Gaoxu did not explain much, as someone in Zhang Xin's position must have understood it very well. The main forces of the vassal reduction faction were Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng. The Prince of Yan and Qi Tai were certainly not on the same page and could be considered enemies.

"Qi Tai probably meant that when he sent General Zhang to Beiping," Zhu Gaoxu said again.

Zhang Xinxin asked, "What does that mean?"

"General Zhang, don't you understand such a simple truth? If something happens in Beiping, it's hard to say who will win in the end, but just in Beiping City, many people can't escape!" Zhu Gaoxu spoke slowly, giving Zhang Xin enough time to understand what he meant. "Those people are the people who were recently transferred to Beiping by the court. Do you think they can beat my father in Beiping?"

Zhu Gaoxu paused and said, "General Zhang once followed my father. You should know who is strong and who is weak in my father's territory. You can't avoid the immediate worries, so how can you talk about long-term concerns?

Besides, even if you escape, will Qi Tai stop? Does the current emperor listen to the military generals or the civil officials? Can General Zhang defeat Qi Tai?"

"Hmph!" Zhang Xin uttered again. He had already put on his clothes and didn't answer anything. He just said, "Goodbye."

Zhu Gaoxu said from behind, "This alley leads straight to the Poor Han City. At the entrance of the alley is a tavern with a sign that says 'Bin'. If General Zhang has figured it out, he can go there and say he's looking for Master Hong."

After Zhang Xin left, Zhu Gaoxu also left the yard. It was already dark, so he went to the wine shop he bought and stayed there for a while.
