"If Huang Wen successfully win the battle against the zombies at Gutian town and win the people of Gutian town to our side, then let him be the one who govern Gutian town.", said Zhang Xuan seriously.

Her answer, surprised everyone.

Zhang Hu didn't smile anymore, "Zhang Xuan... child... are you sure about that? First at most, I can only give you 3,000 men. Even if more than three thousands volunteer tomorrow, I can only spare 3,000. Do you really believe that he can defeat a million zombies with 3,000 men?"

"Second, the PLA already controlled that town. Even if together we can defeat the zombies, will they give up their control so easily? They have enough firepower to defend the town against hundreds thousand zombies, if we fight against them, how many people will die?"

Fan Zheng nodded gravely, "Your father is right Zhang Xuan, your request is a bit too ambitious. I'm afraid it won't be possible with our current situation."

Zhang Xuan nodded, "I know. I know it near to impossible for such thing to happen. All I ask is, if it happen."

Zhang Hu nodded his head, "If it does, somehow, happen, then I give you my word. Huang Wen will have the right to govern that town."

"That's all I ask.", Zhang Xuan smiled nicely.

"Father..., uncles... I won't bother you anymore then. I'll go now.", she stood and walked toward the door.

"Father, don't forget about tomorrow, okay?", she turned and asked once more before she left.

Zhang Hu snorted and shook his head, "Hmph.... "

""Brother Zhang..., what did you put in her head all this time?", Fan Zheng chuckled and shook his head in disbelief.

Zhang Hu shrugged his shoulder, "Beats me.."

Chen Fang laughed, "Well, if she could make Huang Wen achieve it, they deserve that town anyway."

Xia Bao joined, "Now, this make me, anticipating our journey to Gutian town more."

Zhang Hu asked Chen Fang and Xia Bao, "So you two agree to accompany her to Gutian town?"

Chen Fang nodded his head, "Sure, like I said before, we owe Huang Wen a lot. It's just the right thing to do."

Xia Bao parroted him, "The right thing to do..."

Zhang Hu sighed, "Ah... forgive my daughter for involve the two of you in this."

Chen Fang laughed, "Don't worry, even if she didn't ask us too. We'll volunteer, isn't that right Brother Xia Bao?"

Xia Bao nodded his head.

"Then I could only, thank you in advance.", said Zhang Hu.

They continued their conversation, while Zhang Xuan returned to her room. She was satisfied that she managed to get all that she wanted from her father. She sincerely wished it would work well for Huang Wen. Thus for the whole night, she kept thinking about how she should help Huang Wen later.

Zhang Xuan sighed from time to time, she wanted to meet Huang Wen again. She imagined of their future.

Huang Wen would be the second, only below her father. Sure, his brother would inherit her father's position. But Huang Wen would be a great man, just like her father.

She thought of her plan for Huang Wen and imagined how Huang Wen would thank her for that.

Huang Wen was infiltrating Gutian town right now, maybe he already met with his family. Alone he couldn't help them to escape the town though. He would have to sneak out alone and then returned to Nanping to get reinforcement. How much he would be surprised, if he saw Zhang Xuan came with thousands of soldiers to help him.

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but felt giddy, thinking their meeting.

'Ah... he would happy and excited to see me...', she thought to herself.

'Then together we'll lead the army to free the town. He will introduce me to his parent.', her imagination went from one thing to the next thing.

'With this, he will complete all of father's request and... ', she imagined their wedding and the night after.

Rolling on her bed, she hugged her pillow hard, thinking of Huang Wen.

'But what happened if one of his family attacked by zombies before we could get there to save them...?'

She worried about Huang Wen's family sake. If something happened to them, it might put their relation in trouble. She silently prayed for the safety of his family. She tried to sleep, but her mind wildly worked on its own, making plan and anticipating the outcome. When she finally asleep, it was almost at dawn. She slept for three to four hours, before she woke up and quickly went to see her father.

----- o -----

When Zhang Xuan was busy thinking about her future with Huang Wen, Zhang Hu was busy with something else.

Zhang Hu and Madame Zhang Hu took the biggest room in the house, on the second floor. Inside the room, there was a king size bed. Upon that bed, Madame Zhang Hu lay in her birthday suit. Zhang Hu lay behind her, she slept on his arm. Zhang Hu's other hand, slowly traced her curved.

Madame Zhang Hu softly moaned and then chuckled, "What happened to you ... ?"

Zhang Hu chuckled and whispered on her ears, "I learn few things ..."

His hand moved around her back and buttock. He gently groped and massaged her.

"Emmh.... That's feel good.... where you learn all these things?", Madame Zhang Hu closed her eyes and sighed in pleasure.

Zhang Hu laughed a little, "Heheh... as funny as it is, I learn it from the knowledge that was passed down by the grand elder."

Madame Zhang Hu raised her eyebrows, "The grand elder? Of the fairies?"

Zhang Hu made a move that made her squealed like a teenage girl and replied, "That grand elder and let me show you what else I learned from it."

For the next couple hours, he gently took her from behind. His hand moved to places, she never thought would made her felt that way. Zhang Hu wasn't bad at bed in the past, but Madame Zhang Hu was the one who knew how to made someone crazy about her.

By the time Zhang Hu done with it, Madame Zhang Hu lay helplessly, exhausted but thoroughly satisfied.

She closed her eyes and sighed, "... ahh... I wish I can sleep right here and right now... it was so good... but really draining."

Zhang Hu chuckled, "You stay there, I'll get something to wash you. Okay?"

He went to get a towel and a basin of warm water. Madame Zhang Hu watched and rolled her eyes.

"I wish you met the grand elder years ago...", said her.

Zhang Hu laughed, he sat next to her and washed her. When he's done with it, he get a clean sheet of blanket to cover her.

"You go to sleep first ..., I'll take a shower.", Zhang Hu whispered.

Madame Zhang Hu nodded and she slept soundly that night. While Zhang Hu took a shower and then walked to the veranda. It was late at night and no one there. Suddenly a shadow flew and landed near Zhang Hu.

It was Yue Guang, he wore black clothes and mask.

Zhang Hu calmly stood there, as if he was waiting for him to come.

Yue Guang politely bowed deeply and said, "Father ..."

In front of everybody Zhang Hu always treated Yue Guang reverently. Yue Guang called him brother and asked Zhang Hu to treat him as a brother. But although Zhang Hu called Yue Guang brother, he treated him like treating an elder in his family.

But here, when they were alone and no one saw. It was the opposite.

Yue Guang treated Zhang Hu reverently. What happened here?

Zhang Hu nodded his head and turned to look at the city below them, "Sorry, to call you back. How far you've gone?"

Yue Guang replied, "Not so far, just several tens of kilometers. I planned to moved faster once we're out in the wilderness."

Zhang Hu nodded, "Hmm.. I call you back because something new came up. I thought you won't be too far anyway and better if you know about it. Maybe you have some opinion about it."

"Please enlighten me father.", said Yue Guang.

"It was Zhang Hu's daughter, she wanted me to send thousands of men to help that boy, her lover.", said Zhang Hu.

Yue Guang frowned and asked, "But people wouldn't like it. You send them or their families to save Zhang Hu's son in law. With the number of their enemy, many will die. Isn't that too much sacrifice for his own personal interest?"

Zhang Hu answered, "That was what I thought, but that girl gave a good answer. She asked me to remember Huang Wen's unselfish meritorious deed for the people. She also said, that the men should volunteer to join the mission, rather than assigned to the mission."

Yue Guang nodded and smiled, "Hmm... clever. First, she would be able to measure her boyfriend's popularity among the masses. Second, no one would be able to protest, even when many are died, they choose it themselves."

Zhang Hu nodded, "Yes, I agreed with her. You agree about it too?"

Yue Guang nodded his head, "Of course I agree."

Yue Guang then explained his reason, "It will help our plan to win Fuzhou back to us. If the boy could engage those army of zombies and draw more from Fuzhou, then we would have it easier when we invade Fuzhou. Or we could send more reinforcement and win the town itself, depend on what that demon planned anyway."

Zhang Hu then said, "That would bring the second request from her."

Yue Guang raised his eyebrows, "Oh... she have another request?"

Zhang Hu nodded, "In the case where they win the town, she want me to give the control over that town to her boyfriend."

Yue Guang frowned, "She is ambitious..."

Zhang Hu nodded, "Hmm... I'm a bit disturbed about it. We don't have much territory at this moment. If I rule over Nanping, Fuzhou and Gutian town. Allowing Huang Wen to rule over Gutian Town, could be said that I gave a quarter of my territory to him. He could use it as a base and expand his influence. He already popular among the masses. In the future, he could become my competitor."

Yue Guang gave it a thought for a while and then said, "Father, I think you shouldn't worry about it. First, it won't be that easy to win the town from the zombies and the government army. Second, if we see a chance for them to succeed. We could still do something about it secretly."

Zhang Hu sighed, "Hmm.... they don't have much chance to pull it through. But if they do, I'm worry that we couldn't do much about it. That boy, he had at least two demons in him and I think I see the sign that he began to thread on the real path of cultivation."

Yue Guang surprised, "Father..., you never told me about this."

Zhang Hu replied, "I'm not too sure about this too, but the way he used his technique is far more developed compared to other human who relied on the changes. When I secretly probed into him, it was just as Zhang Xuan said, there are two demon's soul within his soul realm. Fortunately, it seem that they're not working for him yet."

Yue Guang then said, "Hmm.. father, then that's our chance. I'll pretend to help him, get rid the demons from his soul realm. I believed he is troubled about their presence. If he doesn't know yet, we'll tell them. Anyway, by pretending at helping him. I could infiltrated his soul realm and possessed him."

Zhang Hu thought for a long time and then said, "That could work, but we must really careful. We got lucky that I manage to possess Zhang Hu. But our clan's position isn't that stable at this moment. Any conflicts with human, would only benefit the demons. So far no one suspect anything about Zhang Hu. We shouldn't do anything suspicious."

Yue Guang nodded his head, "I'll be really careful. In case he showed any hints of suspicion, I won't try any further and find some excuses to cover it."

Zhang Hu nodded his head, "Yes, better we lose a town rather than lose it all."

Yue Guang, "I understand father. I will keep your words in my heart."

Zhang Hu smiled and patted Yue Guang, "Now go back to your men. See what's going on at Fuzhou."

Yue Guang once again bowed deeply.

"I'm leaving father.", said Yue Guang for the last time, before he disappeared in the dark.
