At noon the next day, Gu Zhao had just finished teaching a few students. When he came out, he saw that Yun Congheng was waiting for her in the tea room again.

Unlike his usual stern expression, Yun Conghengxian looked relaxed today and his eyes were happy.

"Brother, what good thing is this?" Gu Zhao asked with a smile.

Yun Congheng couldn't help but laugh, "With Brother Lu Guang's eyesight, it would be no problem for him to become a squadron leader in the city guard."

Gu Zhao thought of something and his heart tightened, but his face showed a bit of urgency, "Did those assassins catch them last night?"

Speaking of assassins, Yun Conghengxian's face couldn't help but darken, "The assassins last night were very cunning and didn't leave any clues at all."

They were very careful, and no one around them had any impression of their whereabouts;

The weapons they use are the most common weapons in Bei'an; the key is that the two countries often fight each other and capture too many weapons from each other. Even Donghao's army and samurai have many similar weapons.

It is completely impossible to trace the identities of these assassins from their weapons.

According to Yun Conghengxian's experience, this assassination case may just lie in the files, covered with dust.

Seeing that Gu Zhao's expression also darkened, Yun Congheng said quickly, "I came today for a good thing."

Gu Zhao looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.

"Tonight, Commander Zhong's Mansion will hold a large banquet. Brother Lu Guang, please go with me."

Gu Zhao's eyes lit up, "Can I see Zhongshuai?"

Yun Congheng laughed softly first, "Of course."

Gu Zhao clenched his fist in joy and hit his heart. This is an action used by Donghao people to express extreme surprise, "Great! I have admired Zhongshuai for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to meet him!"

Yun Congheng looked at her first and smiled so hard that his eyes were bent, his eyes were soft, "Then it's agreed, I will send a carriage to pick you up when the time comes."

Gu Zhao hesitated for a moment, "Is it convenient? Brother is so busy, otherwise I would just call a carriage and go there myself."

Yun Congheng patted her shoulder first, "Are you meeting your brother?"

Gu Zhao quickly shook his head, "No, no, then I'll wait at home." She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Brother, do I want to wear a big dress?"

The nobles of Donghao all have their own family logos and special dress styles. After Gu Zhao came to Douchuan Pass, he went to Donghao's tailoring shop to customize the dresses for his family.

Yun Congheng thought for a while and said, "Okay, such an occasion should be more formal."

Gu Zhao tilted his head, "Is this a formal banquet?"

"Well, Commander Zhong wants to succeed a wealthy businessman in Bei'an."

Hearing this sentence, Gu Zhao's face was filled with shock, "Brother, did I hear it correctly? Zhong Shuai actually helped a Bei'an businessman? What kind of Bei'an businessman can have such a face?"

Yun Congheng took Gu Zhao out first, got into his carriage, and explained to her in the carriage, "That is the future head of the Tan family in Northern Xinjiang."

The Qin family and Gu Zhao have heard about it in Northern Xinjiang over the years. But He Luguang came from Donghao itself and shouldn't know about these things.

So Gu Zhao looked confused, "Is the Tan family in Beijiang very powerful?"

Yun Congheng nodded first, "The Qin family has the best horse farm in northern Xinjiang, and can sell thousands of high-quality horses every year."

In northern Xinjiang, no matter which force it is, without good horses or strong cavalry, it will suffer big losses.

There are also good horses in Donghao, but no one would mind having too many good horses. Moreover, if the Qin family sells the horses to Bei'an, it will undoubtedly strengthen Bei'an's cavalry strength.

The location of Douchuan Pass is closer to the Qinjia Racecourse. It is faster and more convenient to replenish horses from the Qinjia Racecourse than from the mainland.

For various reasons, the Qin family, who did not resist trading horses with Donghao, became guests at Douchuan Pass.

After the Qin family opened the gate of Douchuan Pass with good horses, they began to sell various cloths, spices, and grains to Douchuan Pass. Now they have become the most powerful chamber of commerce in Douchuan Pass.

"It's not worth it for Commander Zhong to come out personally to help them." Gu Zhao looked a little unhappy and muttered in a low voice, "They are just some Bei'an businessmen."

Yun Congheng first said soothingly, "Since Commander Zhong did this, there must be a reason. If you don't like those Bei'an people, just ignore them."

"Anyway, tonight, I want you to show your face in front of Zhongshuai. Zhongshuai just praised you before. If you perform well tonight, Zhongshuai will definitely leave a good impression on you."

"Then, you will have an advantage in the future, whether it is the talent selection examination or the final placement of positions." Yun Congheng warned earnestly first, really like a brother who cares about his younger brother, "Remember, don't talk to those Beijing people tonight.

Merchant An is worried about it. In the future, there will be times when they beg you."

Gu Zhao nodded and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, brother, for planning this for me. I will never forget your brother's affection in this life."

In the afternoon, Gu Zhao went to the entrance of Zhongshuai's mansion as usual to watch the excitement.

Hong Yeke is not here!

It's so strange. He comes here on time every day these days, waiting for scholars from the two countries to compete with him. With his victory after victory, Hong Yeke's momentum becomes more and more arrogant, and his reputation and curses are rising day by day.

Seeing that there are only a few days until the exam, has he actually stopped fighting?

Many people crowded together and talked, thinking that Hong Yeke had just given up.

The scholars in Donghaofang began to act strangely.

"Is Hong Yeke scared?"

"Of course! He was able to win a few days ago, but it was just because everyone was unprepared and he took advantage."

"Everyone is studying hard these days. If the competition continues, Hong Yeke will lose."

"That's why he backed down!"

"Cowardly Bei'an people!"

Just when these Donghao scholars were venting their anger, a Bei'an scholar sneered and retorted, "Brother Hong has received Zhongshuai's invitation and invited him to Zhongshuai's house for a banquet tonight. How can I have time to accompany you here?"

Are you guys wasting your time when you lose?"

"What?"

"How is that possible!"

"Zhongshuai sent him an invitation? You must be dreaming!"

"Who doesn't know how to brag? Just take out the invitation if you can!"

Shizi Bei'an didn't show any weakness and retorted, "Do you have an invitation? If not, you won't be able to tell whether it's true or false when you show it. What's the point?"
