Chapter 82 Meeting an Assassin Halfway

In Canton City, sitting opposite Yuan Bohan was a foreigner with yellow hair and blue eyes. He was Jim, a foreigner businessman who came to the North Wing Country from across the ocean. There were many foreign goods on the table. Beiyiyu said to Yuan Bohan with a smile: "These are the things I brought to Beiyi Kingdom this time."

Yuan Bohan nodded, picked up a few items at random, and then said, "Jim, which items do you think girls like more?"

When Jim heard Yuan Bohan's question, he was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed with a smile, "Yuan, do you have a girl you like?"

"There's a girl who interested me!" Yuan Bohan thought of Huo Zhirou, and the smile on his face became a little more real.

Jim raised his eyebrows. He knew that the friend in front of him was very important and powerful in this country. Of course, his gaze was also very high. I wonder what the girl this friend is looking for looks like?

Jim asked curiously: "Tell me, what kind of girl do you like?"

Yuan Bohan shook his head with a smile, "You don't know what I said, but I have a chance to let you get to know each other. Let's talk about these things on the table, which girl likes more?"

When Jim heard Yuan Bohan's words, he didn't ask any more questions. He picked out a box from the table, opened it, and said to Yuan Bohan: "This thing is called a gem, and the noble women in our country like it very much. On behalf of In addition to their identities, every aristocratic woman will have all kinds of gems in their hands. This thing is also invaluable in our country. I thought that when I came to the North Wing last time, your country did not have this thing, so this time I took it. Bring some over."

Hearing Jim's words, Yuan Bohan cast his eyes on the box, and saw that there were seven different colored gemstones in the box, red, yellow, blue, green, purple, pink, and black. The gemstones shone under the sunlight, crystal clear, and looked extremely beautiful. Beautiful, he picked up a red gem curiously, and was surprised to find that the gem was very hard.

"Is this a stone?" Yuan Bohan squeezed it a little harder. If it was an ordinary stone, it would have been turned into powder under his strength, but the red gemstone in his hand was intact. Surprised him.

Jim nodded with a smile, and said, "It's a stone. It is indeed the most beautiful and hardest stone in the world. In our country, this gemstone represents eternity, so noble lovers like to give this thing before. I believe you can give it to the one you like. That girl, she also likes it very much!"

When Yuan Bohan heard Jim's words, especially the word "eternal", a smile appeared on his brows, he nodded, and said, "How much money is this thing?"

Jim shook his head when Yuan Bohan asked about the price, and said, "If Yuan likes this item, I'll give it to you!"

"Huh? Give it to me, are you sure?" Yuan Bohan raised his eyebrows when he heard Jim's words. He just heard Jim say that this thing is priceless in his country, and now he gave it to him. Isn't this guy at a loss?
Jim nodded heavily, and said sincerely: "It's rare to hear that Yuan you have a girl you like when you come to Beiyi this time. It's your meeting!"

Yuan Bohan heard that Jim was so generous, and that he was a good friend, so he closed the box in his hand, and said to Yuan Yin beside him: "Yuan Yin, pass my order, Jim will buy it in the Yuanmen store." All the things you place will be recorded in my account, and there is no need to collect his money!"

"Yes, master!" Yuan Yin respectfully responded to Yuan Bohan's order.

Hearing what Yuan Bohan said, Jim opened his mouth immediately, staring at a pair of round blue eyes and couldn't believe that such a big good thing happened to him. After a while, he turned back God came, and then said with a smile: "Yuan, you don't accept my money, what if I evacuate your shop?"

When Yuan Bohan heard Jim's joke, a hearty smile came out of his mouth, and he said with a smile: "As long as you have the ability to move out, the original store will be moved by you!"

Jim heard Yuan Bohan's words, the expression on his face changed from joking to amazed, and he said to Yuan Bohan: "Yuan, I really want to see what kind of girl you fell in love with, and you can spend a lot of money on her .”

Yuan Bohan stopped laughing when he heard the words "spill a lot of money" in Jim's words, but there was still a strong smile in his eyes, and he said to Jim: "Jim, it seems that you have learned a lot of idioms this time. , You actually know that you have spent a lot of money, by the way, when will you leave here?"

Jim touched his head embarrassingly, and then said: "I guess a month later, I have to go to other countries to see it!"

Yuan Bohan nodded when he heard Jim's words, "I'm leaving here for Jincheng the day after tomorrow, you go there with me, then you can meet her. I have a chance to introduce you to her."

Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Jim grinned, showing his white teeth, nodded and said to Yuan Bohan: "Okay, this time I will go to Jincheng with you to see what kind of girl your sweetheart is!"

"Don't scare people, scare them, I won't allow you to vacate my shop!" Yuan Bohan said to Jim with a warning face.

When Jim heard this, his eyes widened, he pointed at his tall nose, and said angrily, "Do I look like a vicious person?"

"What do you think?" Yuan Bohan crossed his arms and looked at Jim with a half-smile.

Under this aura, Jim weakened and touched his nose embarrassingly. Well, in this country with black hair and yellow skin, his appearance is indeed very special!

In the Chen residence, Steward Li looked at the groom in front of him gloomyly, and said in a cold tone: "Huo Zhirou, that stinky girl goes to the workshop every few days, is this news true?"

The groom nodded sharply when he heard Steward Li's words, and said, "Go back to the steward, I have inquired many times, because the Huo family and Yuanmen have a Jinjin business, so this Miss Huo attaches great importance to it, and will come every few days. Go to the workshop to see the situation!"

Butler Li nodded with a sneer when he heard the groom's words.

"The little one even went to the workshop to have a look. Miss Huo likes to take a short cut to go to the workshop, and this section of road is rarely used by people. I think that if I do it, I can choose to clean them up there!" The groom said. He suggested with a flattering smile on his face.

Hearing what the groom said, Steward Li touched the short beard on his chin with a ferocious expression on his face, "I want to clean them up, but we can't let them know that we are from the Chen family, otherwise we won't be able to eat if the adults know about it." Go around!"

The groom nodded when he heard Steward Li's words, and then suggested: "Housekeeper, we can cover our faces and pretend to be assassins. Who will recognize that we are the Chen family? I heard that that stinky girl from the Huo family She always takes her maid with her when she goes out, as well as two servants and a groom, there are only five people, we bring so many people, can't we still deal with five people? Two of them are women who are powerless!"

"That's right!" Butler Li smiled bitterly, "Go ahead and ask someone to prepare it!"

"Yes, butler!" The groom heard Steward Li's words and left.

After being ill for a few days, Huo Zhirou didn't know how the workshop's Jin Jin was doing, and planned to go to see it today, and then called Steward Cao over, "Uncle Cao, where's brother? I'll go to the embroidery workshop later, and ask him if he wants to go together?"

After hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Butler Cao immediately said: "Miss, the eldest young master has not returned from inspecting the shop, why don't you wait for the eldest young master to come back?"

"Forget it, since my brother is outside, I'll go by myself, maybe I will see him in the embroidery workshop!"

"Miss, you must be careful." Butler Cao heard Huo Zhirou remind him that although Huo Zhirou often went out, he was still worried about her going out as a girl.

"Don't worry, Uncle Cao!" Huo Zhirou nodded in response.

In the carriage, Huo Zhirou held the ledger in his hand. This is the income of Huo's shop this month. It seems that it is much better than before. Sure enough, the managers who were raised before are all idlers!
"Miss, when I go back to the mansion later, my servant will go buy your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Chun Xiao said while looking at Huo Zhirou with a smile on her face.

Hearing Chun Xiao's words, Huo Zhirou raised his head, looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Why, do you want to eat?"

"It's a servant who wants to eat it. The servant sees that you have been taking medicine these days, and your mouth must be bitter, so I suggested, Miss, it's true, that the servant is greedy!" Chun Xiao said with a grumpy expression.

Hearing Chun Xiao's words, Huo Zhirou burst out laughing, and was about to tease this girl again, when suddenly the carriage stopped abruptly, and Huo Zhirou, who was unprepared, became unstable and leaned forward suddenly.

"What's going on? Are you here yet?" Huo Zhirou frowned. According to the usual speed, he should not have arrived at the workshop.

Even Chunxiao was a little puzzled. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and was about to ask the groom, but saw that their carriage was surrounded by men in black. Chunxiao turned pale in fright, and pointed out with trembling fingers, "Little... Miss, there are assassins. !"

Yuan Yun looked at the man in black outside, his face sank, this road is rarely traveled by people, and Huo Zhirou walked so many times, nothing happened, but today, there was an assassin, it seems Specifically for Huo Zhirou!

"Miss, servants are going to clean them up!" Yuan Yun said in a cold voice.

"Wait! There are so many people, and you are alone. It's not safe to go alone. Let me figure out what happened first." Huo Zhirou glanced at the assassins who surrounded them, and suddenly had a strange feeling that he hadn't waited. She figured out what this feeling was, only to hear a masked man come out.

The man looked at the two terrified members of the Huo family standing in front of them, "hummed" contemptuously, and said to Huo Zhirou and Chunxiao in the carriage: "Get out of the carriage, you three girls!"

"Miss, what... what should I do?" Chun Xiao stood in front of Huo Zhirou, protecting Huo Zhirou with her trembling body.

Huo Zhirou patted Chun Xiao who stood in front of her, took a deep breath, suppressed his fear, and said to her, "It's okay, don't worry, there is Yuan Yun!"

"But there are so many people..." Chun Xiao shook her head worriedly when she heard Huo Zhirou's words, she didn't want to get out of the way, what should happen to her young lady later?
Huo Zhirou looked at the stubborn Chun Xiao, and before she finished speaking, she interrupted her and said, "Even if you stand in front of me, they are many and powerful, and we are still at a disadvantage. Let me first Find out what's going on, maybe there's a turnaround."

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Chunxiao gritted her teeth and nodded, stepping aside slightly so that Huo Zhirou could see the assassin outside.

"Heroes, I don't know when the little girl offended you and asked you to stop the little girl's way. If it's because of the lack of money, the little girl has some money in her hand. As long as you guys let us go." Huo Zhirou held her hand tightly. into a fist, and calmly said to the man in black outside the car.
