After Yang Xiaoyun brought the news of the crossing team to Liu Yunyan, the other party agreed to the conditions proposed by the crossing team after a short period of consideration, as Zhang Weixin expected, and only asked Yang Xiaoyun to bring a message to Zhang Weixin, saying that she could return the freedom of Yang Xiaoyun and his family, but only if she could reach a cooperation agreement with Zhang Weixin and his brothers. If the brothers of "Qingyuan" can accept her suggestion, then the two sides will agree to meet at the foot of Haotian Pagoda at the beginning of the next morning, and then find a suitable place to discuss cooperation. After getting Liu Yunyan's reply, Yang Xiaoyun immediately rushed to the "Qingyuan" and passed the news to the crossing team. Regarding Liu Yunyan's request, the committee thought that it was indeed reasonable, so it nodded and agreed.

After sending off Yang Xiaoyun, who had delivered the news, the committee immediately gathered with the Action Executive Committee and held an enlarged meeting of the committee, studied various matters related to cooperation with Liu Yunyan, considered various problems and countermeasures that might be encountered in the process of negotiation and cooperation with the other party, and formulated various plans such as the scope of cooperation, cooperation conditions, rights and obligations, and the bottom line of negotiations between the two sides. The meeting decided that the first meeting with Liu Yunyan the next day would be preliminarily contacted by Zhang Weixin and the other party to find out that the other party wanted to cooperate with him and the general requirements for cooperation, so that the committee and the executive committee could study and analyze it. For safety reasons, Cheng Fei will accompany him to take charge of security work.

The next day, that is, on the morning of the 27th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, Zhang Weixin and Cheng Fei were ready, and when they saw that the time was almost up, they left the "Qingyuan" and went straight to the Haotian Tower. The two of them walked out of the east gate of Liangxiang, and after a short time, they had already seen the tall tower of Haotian Tower, and at the same time saw Yang Xiaoyun who was waiting under the tower and another woman beside her.

Although there is still a distance from the other party, Zhang Weixin can still see that the woman next to Yang Xiaoyun is Liu Yunyan. Before the auction, Zhang Weixin and Zeng Zhilin had met her and Yang Xiaoyun on the street, and the two sides had a short conversation, so they could recognize each other at this time.

The other party obviously also saw Zhang and Cheng, Yang Xiaoyun beckoned to them, and quickly greeted them, while Liu Yunyan followed closely behind Yang Xiaoyun, almost not leaving.

When they came closer, Yang Xiaoyun and Zhang Weixin greeted each other, and then Yang Xiaoyun introduced the two sides to each other. Liu Yunyan waved her hand and said, "My sister doesn't need to be introduced, my sister and Zhang Gongzi have met." ”

Zhang Weixin also said: "Yes, I had a relationship with Miss Liu on the streets of Liangxiang City. ”

After the two of them said it, Yang Xiaoyun also remembered this matter, so he didn't introduce the two of them more. Zhang Weixin introduced Liu Yunyan and Cheng Fei, and the two also symbolically greeted each other.

After a few polite greetings, Liu Yunyan suggested that everyone go to Liangxiang City to find a restaurant and sit down to talk slowly. Zhang Weixin naturally had no objection to this, and echoed: "Miss Liu's proposal is very good, and it is the same meaning below. Why don't we go to the largest restaurant in Liangxiang City'Tianfu Building', I don't know what Miss Liu thinks? ”

Liu Yunyan listened, and said with something in her words: "Zhang Gongzi said to go to 'Tianfu Building', then go to 'Tianfu Building', I think Zhang Gongzi is one of the owners of 'Tianfu Building', we can naturally talk freely when we go there, we are not afraid of being disturbed by others, and there is an absolute guarantee of safety." ”

Zhang Weixin could naturally hear the meaning of Liu Yunyan's words, she not only showed herself that she knew the details of "Tianfulou" very clearly, but also showed her fearlessness in a nonchalant tone. After all, although she brought Yang Xiaoyun here, Yang Xiaoyun's family was still in her hands, so she was not afraid to go to the other party's territory to negotiate. So, Zhang Weixin smiled and said, "Miss Liu is really a cheerful person and speaks happily. I like to talk about business with such people, Miss Liu, please. ”

With that, a group of four people left Haotian Tower, entered the east gate of Liangxiang City, and came to the "Tianfu Building". The guy at the door saw Zhang Weixin and Cheng Fei from afar, and knew that this was one of the owners behind the restaurant, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off. When the four of them got closer, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Zhang and Cheng: "Little Chen Xiaoer has seen the seventh master and the twenty-ninth master, are you always passing by to have a look, or are you planning to feast here." ”

Zhang Weixin nodded and ordered: "Brother Twenty-Nine and I want to talk to these two girls in the restaurant, you go and arrange a quiet private room, and prepare two pots of tea and a few snacks." Chen Xiaoer agreed, while bending over and hunched over to lead the way for Zhang Weixin and the others, went straight to the third floor of the "Tianfu Building", entered one of the most upscale private rooms in the restaurant - Tianfu Private Room, and waited for the four of them to sit down before he bowed and left.

When Chen Xiaoer didn't go long, he sent tea and snacks, and asked Zhang Weixin if he needed to inform Chen Guangfu and Xie Tian and others. Zhang Weixin said that there was no need to work Chen and Xie, and told Chen Xiaoer that without his call, there was no need to come and serve. Chen Xiaoer agreed, turned around and walked out of the private room, and closed the door.

Seeing Chen Xiaoer leaving, Zhang Weixin got up and poured a cup of tea for Yang Xiaoyun and Liu Yunyan, and then asked Liu Yunyan: "Listening to Xiaoyun below, Miss Liu wants to make friends with all the brothers in and below?" ”

Liu Yunyan nodded and said, "Yes, that's what the little girl meant, I wonder if Zhang Gongzi and his brothers are willing to make this friend with the little girl?" ”

Zhang Weixin smiled and said: "I often hear people say that 'many friends have many roads, and many enemies have many walls', and it is naturally impossible to make more friends in Xiaxia." It's just that there is one thing that I haven't figured out yet, Miss Liu wants to make friends with us, is it for herself, or for someone else? Moreover, Miss Liu seems to have a strong desire to make friends with us, so much so that she wants to use her sweetheart and her family as bargaining chips. Miss Liu's mood is so urgent, so that Zaixia is very puzzled, I hope Miss Liu can solve Zaixia's doubts. After all, since everyone wants to make friends, they should get to know each other. In my opinion, Miss Liu must be very familiar with my brothers, but we know almost nothing about Miss Liu. ”

In the face of Zhang Weixin's questioning, Liu Yunyan pondered for a while, weighed the pros and cons, and finally made up her mind, hugged Zhang Weixin and the others, and said: "The little woman has to take Sister Yang and her family as hostages, which is really a last resort. The little woman is here to compensate Sister Yang, Zhang Gongzi, and Cheng Gongzi first, I hope you can forgive me. ”,

Regarding Liu Yunyan's daoqian, Zhang, Yang and others were noncommittal, but Liu Yunyan didn't think about it at all, and continued without changing her face: "As for the reason why the little woman is so urgent, this is a long story. ”

"Listen to me." Zhang Weixin said.

Liu Yunyan understood that if she didn't explain some things clearly, the other party would not be at ease to cooperate with her, so she continued: "In this case, the little woman will talk to Zhang Gongzi about what she can say. Presumably, Sister Yang should have revealed to Zhang Gongzi that the little girl was not a local, but from the Zhou Kingdom in the south. The little woman did not come to Youzhou to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but had a major mission. The little woman is not a weak woman from an ordinary family who is powerless, but belongs to the local head of a large-scale, Shili secret organization that is almost all over the world. And the name of the secret organization to which the little girl belongs is 'Feiyantang', which is a secret agent organization with members all over the world who specialize in collecting all kinds of information for their masters.

However, these are just some of the skins of 'Feiyantang'. The little woman will slowly explain some things about 'Feiyan Hall' to Zhang Gongzi in the future, and here the little woman will formally introduce herself first. The little woman's surname is Liu Yunyan, a native of Kaifeng Mansion in Zhou State, twenty-four years old this year, and she was originally the deputy flag master of the Huofeng Banner of the Southern Tangjiang Prefecture Branch of the 'Feiyan Hall'. Last year, he was appointed by the main hall as the deputy hall master of the Youzhou branch, and came to the Youdu Mansion of the Liao State as a pioneer officer, responsible for recruiting some informal members for the branch, and trying to build a green building as a place to collect information and cover the activities of members. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yunyan paused, sighed, and said: "It's a pity that the little girl is only shallow in her learning and has limited ability, although she has also recruited some people to act as subordinates, but because of the lack of necessary connections, she has not been able to successfully acquire or build a new Qinglou that meets the requirements." Seeing that the time set by the main hall was getting closer and closer, the little girl really couldn't find another quicker way, so she wanted to speed up the speed by cooperating with the locals. After this period of observation and understanding, the little woman finally chose Zhang Gongzi and his brothers as partners in order to successfully complete the task. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Weixin asked again: "According to what Miss Liu said, the 'Feiyan Hall' is huge in scale and shili strong. In this case, Weishenme will be stumped by a small green building, is there no way to build a green building in Youzhou with the strength of 'Feiyan Hall'? Even if you don't have time to build a building, as long as you have enough money, it is not difficult to buy a green house. Don't talk about Youzhou City, even Liangxiang City has a pretty good green building, it seems to be called 'Yan Jue Lou', it is said that it is also famous in the surrounding area, why didn't Miss Liu go to talk to the owner of the building. Looking down, as long as Miss Liu is willing to spend money, she may not be able to buy the building. And Miss Liu didn't use such a simple method, but risked revealing the secret of 'Feiyan Hall' to come to us and others to cooperate, which is really incomprehensible. Could it be that Miss Liu just said how powerful the 'Feiyantang' is, how how shili is, is it all coaxing? ”

Seeing that Zhang Weixin began to doubt the strength of "Feiyantang", although Liu Yunyan was a little unconvinced, the situation was stronger than people, and now was not the time to be a hero, so she tried her best to keep her expression calm, and argued: "The strength of 'Feiyantang' is beyond doubt, although Zhang Gongzi can rest assured. The little woman can reveal one thing to Zhang Gongzi here, there are thousands of official members of the 'Feiyan Hall', and its head hall master is a very powerful figure in the Zhou Dynasty. The fundamental reason why the task of creating the Youzhou branch this time was so unsuccessful was still on the little girl.

Presumably Zhang Gongzi also knew that before Sister Yang came to Youzhou, she was a Qing person in Jiangdu Mansion Yingli Xuan, and Huang Mengying, the old bustard of the Xuan, was an important member of my 'Feiyan Hall' development in Jiangdu Mansion. Last year, Huang Mengying was seriously ill, and for the sake of her adopted daughter, Sister Yang's future life, she recommended to the local branch hall to let Sister Yang take her place after her death.

Later, the main hall wanted to set up a branch in Youzhou, and was ready to select suitable candidates from other branches to serve as all levels of the Youzhou branch. After the little woman learned the news, she remembered that Huang Mengying had said before that she had a sister in Youzhou City, named Huang Mengyuan. This Huang Mengyuan is also an old bustard like her, and opened a green building called 'Qingxue Building' in Youzhou City. It is said that business is quite prosperous, and he is very familiar with local figures and dignitaries. The little woman thought at the time that if she could get in touch with this Huang Mengyuan through Sister Yang, then setting up a branch in Youzhou would be twice the result with half the effort, and the little woman could also be appreciated by her boss and her position could be promoted.

Therefore, the little girl was in a hurry for a while, and without a detailed investigation of the current situation of this Huang Mengyuan in advance, she recommended herself to the main hall, saying that she could collect enough minions in a year or so to build a brothel in one of the best in the local area, and only required a very small cost. The little girl's guarantee was naturally favored by the main hall, so the little girl was appointed as the deputy hall master of the Youzhou branch for a period of one year to complete the task promised by the little girl. Subsequently, he sent Sister Yang to the north immediately to find this Huang Mengyuan in Youzhou, and strive to establish contact with him as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the work of the little girl after her arrival.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, after Sister Yang arrived here, she sent someone to investigate, only to know that Huang Mengyuan had a lawsuit two years ago, and now she is destitute, and the 'Qingxue Building' has also been seized by the government, and the little woman's plan to quickly establish a team has completely failed.

However, the little woman has already made a military order to the main hall, and it is impossible to regret it, otherwise the little woman will inevitably die without a place to be buried. It's just that the money that the little girl gets from the main hall is only enough for daily expenses and has a limited number of subordinates, and it is impossible to buy an existing green building or build a new green building. In the past few months, the little girl has spent countless brains and thought of countless methods, but she has not been able to achieve any results on the issue of the Qinglou.

Now that there is only about a month left before the deadline stipulated by the main hall, the little woman thinks about it, and only with the help of Zhang Gongzi and the liliang of those brothers of Gongzi can the little woman have a top green building in just one month. The little woman can promise Zhang Gongzi here that if Zhang Gongzi can help the little girl through this difficulty, the little woman will definitely double the reward. ”

Zhang Weixin finally understood that Liu Yunyan Weishenme was so eager to cooperate with the crossing team, it turned out that she was too full of words in order to increase the official and enter the knighthood, but because of the change in the situation, she could not complete the task assigned by her boss within the time limit, and in order to save her life, she had to come to talk about cooperation with the team. In this way, the initiative can be transferred to their own side, and the subsequent negotiations can strive for more favorable conditions for the team, and it is also possible to insert their own shili in the "Feiyantang" Youzhou branch to provide assistance for the team's future development. Thinking of this, Zhang Weixin was full of confidence in this negotiation and decided to continue to put pressure on Liu Yunyan to try to enable her to make more substantive concessions and strive for the best interests of the team.
