Inn!

The post station in Wuchang was not big. After all, although Wuchang was considered an important town, it was only a hinterland city. The post station was only used by soldiers along the way to transmit information or for officials to pass by. Basically, no envoys from other countries would pass by.

Naturally, you don't need a large place for reception.

There was only one large courtyard house in total. Zhang Shan knew immediately when Cai Xi moved into the post station.

Zhang Shan was naturally very interested in this neighboring force in Fujian, but unfortunately his target was Chen Gu, so he no longer needed to form alliances, and he had no time to think about these things.

However, Zhang Shan still prepared a gift and took his men to visit Cai Xi.

After the two sides introduced themselves to each other, Zhang Shan learned that the other party was actually Cai Qian's eldest son. He immediately bowed respectfully again and said, "It turns out that it is the prince of Cai Fujian. I am so sorry, so sorry, so sorry!"

"I dare not. Brother Zhang, you'd better just call me Cai Xi. There are no kings or princes in the Huaxia tribe, and naturally there will be no princes!" Cai Xi was wary of Zhang Shan.

After all, Cai Qian had no resistance to Chen Gu in Fujian. Especially after Cai Qian was blocked in his attack on Fuzhou, he realized the reality that they couldn't even take down Fuzhou, let alone be Chen Gu's opponent.

However, Cai Qian's forces had to be on guard against the Tiandihui in Guangdong. After all, the struggle among many heroes is actually similar to raising Gu. A weak Gu insect would not challenge the Gu King at the beginning, but would attack opponents of similar strength.

Therefore, Cai Qian and his men could negotiate with Chen Gu, using the entire Fujian as a bargaining chip, but they had to guard against the annexation of the Guangdong Tiandihui.

Therefore, although the Tiandihui and Cai Qian's forces were allies on the surface at this time, they were also opponents. Not to mention the Tiandihui, even Cai Qian had plans to annex the Tiandihui.

After all, if they could occupy two provinces, the possibility of getting to the table would be much greater. If both the Huaxia tribe and the Qing court suffered heavy losses, they would still have a chance to dominate the world.

Cai Qian naturally would not be fooled by Zhang Shan's few words of nice words.

Seeing that Cai Qian was cautious and careful, Zhang Shan realized that he didn't need to waste time on Cai Qian. After all, he didn't have much time.

"Haha, Cai Fujian has strong soldiers and thousands of warships. Brother Cai fully deserves the title of Crown Prince. Of course, Brother Cai is willing to humble himself and make friends with us. That is a blessing for me!" Zhang Shan said with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, you are too kind. My father's power is far less than that of the Tiandihui!" Cai Xi still remained cautious in his response.

After saying a few polite words, Zhang Shan left tactfully.

Zhang Shan went out and squinted his eyes to look at the bright sun in the sky, and murmured in a low voice: "It has been several days, and Chen Gu has not taken the initiative to see me. Is it possible that the plan of the young master and Mr. Chen will fail?

Or is it that Zhang San is not as important in Chen Gu's heart as he imagined?"

These days, Zhang Shan has been discussing arms sales with the General Staff, occasionally discussing the details of the garrison in the New Territories.

It is not so easy to station troops somewhere else. First of all, replenishing food and supplies is a hassle. Secondly, the division of responsibilities requires repeated consultations.

If the Huaxia garrison wants to be effective, it will definitely need certain law enforcement powers, such as inspecting passing ships and even going into battle when necessary.

Everything needs to be discussed clearly in advance.

Zhang Shan was a little confused by what he was doing. On the surface, many powers should be given, but if you think about it carefully, once the power is delegated, it will cause many chain reactions.

In the end, Zhang Shan simply did not participate in the negotiations, as negotiations were not his business in the first place.

How to kill Chen Gu is what Zhang Shan needs to consider most. Two days later, Zhang Shan's chance came.

Chen Gu actually came to the post station on his own initiative, so Zhang Shan took the stinger with him without hesitation. After all, the opportunity was too rare. If he missed this opportunity, he would not know what it would be like to see Chen Gu again.

Therefore, although this opportunity was far from perfect, it was still very rare. Zhang Shan finally decided to take a risk, hid the stinger in his sleeve, and then went out to meet Chen Gu.

"Zhang Shan, I'm here to meet the leader!" Zhang Shan bowed and saluted, but he couldn't get up after the long bow.

"Brother Zhang, there's no need to be so polite." Chen Gu smiled and stretched out his hand to support him.

Zhang Shan couldn't help but curse Chen Gu in his heart for not knowing how to respect the wise and humble. He bowed all the way, but Chen Gu didn't even bend down to help him.

After Zhang Shan straightened up, Chen Gu asked, "Brother Zhang, are you used to living in the post station?"

"Zhang was born in poverty. A year ago, he had no place to live and no food to eat. There's no such thing as getting used to it. The post station is already a very good place. Thank you for your concern!" Zhang Shan said with a smile.

"That's good, Brother Zhang, please do as you please!" Chen Gu nodded and walked past Zhang Shan, as if he was planning to meet Cai Xi.

"Good opportunity!" Zhang Shan roared in his heart, then lowered his arm and grabbed the stinger that was sliding down, and stabbed it towards Chen Gu's neck without hesitation.

"assassin!"

"How brave!"

"kill!"

Chen Gu's guards were furious. The guards in front roared, swung their rifles, grabbed the handles and stabbed Zhang Shan. The guards behind took out their rifles, loaded them and shot at the men Zhang Shan brought with him.

Chen Gu ducked to avoid Zhang Shan's first assassination attempt, then fell to the ground and kicked Zhang Shan in the wrist.

Zhang Shan had rehearsed this assassination countless times and had different responses for various emergencies. Although Chen Gu's guards reacted unexpectedly quickly, this situation was still within Zhang Shan's previous rehearsals.

The first assassination attempt failed, and Chen Gu's personal guards reacted quickly, so they could only fight for their lives. Anyway, no matter whether the assassination of Chen Gu was successful or not, there was no way they would survive.

Even if the Huaxia tribe didn't have the death penalty, Zhang Shan wouldn't have spent his whole life in the mines. It would have been better to die than to be tortured.

Therefore, once the assassination begins, the result will be death, and it is even more impossible to retreat at this time.

Facing the bayonet, Zhang Shan did not retreat but advanced instead, trying his best to avoid the bayonet attack. At the same time, the poisonous stinger in Zhang Shan's hand kept following Chen Gu's neck. Chen Gu fell to the ground, and Zhang Shan also pounced down with him.

Chen Gu kicked over, and Zhang Shan took the kick without dodging. He was also stabbed at any time, but the poisonous stinger in Zhang Shan's hand was also delivered to Chen Gu's throat.

Chen Gu sneered, one hand tightly grasped Zhang Shan's wrist, the other hand grabbed the tail of the stinger, and a cry of pain came out of his mouth.

Zhang Shan didn't care about the severe pain from the knife wound on his body, and only thought about how to use all his strength to stab the poisonous stinger in his hand into Chen Gu's throat.
