Chu Huan picked up the wine glass with a smile, and said, "General Dongfang's capacity is astonishing. It's okay to drink a few glasses, but it's only a few glasses. Ben Du's drinking capacity is limited, and he really can't drink with General Dongfang."

"Your Excellency is humble." Dongfang Xin moved closer and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I offended His Excellency the Viceroy. Don't take it to heart, Your Excellency."

"Offended?" Chu Huan deliberately asked, "What happened?"

Dongfang Channel: "It's that batch of supplies...!"

Before Dongfang Xin finished speaking, Chu Huan had already waved his hand with a smile and said, "If General Dongfang doesn't mention it, the governor has already forgotten. General Dongfang, it's a trivial matter. You and I are both on business for the court. Maybe there are some conflicts in official affairs. But there is no grievance between the four of us, we have a clear distinction between public and private, and if there is something wrong with the Japanese Governor, you Dongfang General should not be offended."

"Where is there." Dongfang Xin smiled and said: "Master Governor, speaking from the heart, there are not many people who admire Dongfang Xin, but now he admires the Governor-General very much. That kind of people."

"General Dongfang won the award." Chu Huan waved his hands and said with a smile: "It's all a matter of the past, don't mention it, come, general sit here, you and I can drink too."

After finishing speaking, Chu Huan pointed to his left head, where there was a table, and according to his status, he indeed belonged to Dongfangxin.

Dongfang Xin nodded and smiled, and sat on Chu Huan's left.

Twenty or thirty guests were also arranged on the third floor. Many people were chatting, and their voices were slightly noisy. Chu Huan and Dongfang Xin were talking in a low voice. Seeing that the two were smiling and seemed to be talking happily, everyone was a little puzzled in their hearts, thinking to themselves that Chu Huan and Dongfang Xin were in conflict. Taking back a large amount of supplies and losing Dongfangxin's face, why do these two people seem very close today.

Some people who know Dongfangxin are secretly puzzled. It is necessary to know that Dongfangxin is self-reliant, arrogant and arrogant. It is against nature.

The guests on the third floor are mainly elderly people. In addition to the elderly gentry, there are also many old officials. Today is Mrs. Dong's birthday, and the chair is arranged on the third floor, so Dong Shizhen arranges the elderly gentry officials as much as possible. On the third floor.

Footsteps could be heard at the top of the stairs, but Dong Shizhen's voice came over before anyone arrived: "Thank you, thank you very much. Thanks to everyone for your care today, I am really grateful for coming to my father's birthday banquet."

Amidst the voice, Dong Shizhen, dressed in a brocade robe, had already stepped out of the stairs, and many people present got up. Dong Shizhen was smiling, her eyes were narrowed, and she repeatedly bowed to Chu Huan. He cupped his hands and said, "My lord governor, you are here. My father is very happy to hear that."

"Where is the old man now?" Chu Huan said with a smile, "We are going to wish the old man a birthday."

"I'll be there soon." Dong Shizhen's face was filled with a festive smile, "My father cleaned up at home earlier, and now he is on his way." A little ashamed, he said, "I really feel sorry for keeping you waiting so long."

Chu Huan laughed and said: "Today is the old man's [-]th birthday, that is the biggest thing, the old man is big, everyone has to wait!"

Dongfangxin also nodded and smiled, "Exactly." He said to Dong Shizhen, "I thought Master Dong was going to hold a birthday banquet in his residence, but unexpectedly came here."

Dong Shizhen smiled and said: "General Dongfang should know that the steamed fish head in Beiwanglou is a must in Shuoquan. My father's favorite dish is the steamed fish head here. I also thought about inviting everyone to sit in the humble house for a while." Sit down, but my father seldom goes out and stays in the mansion all day long, just in time for this birthday banquet, come here to get some fresh air, the steamed fish head is made from here, that is the most authentic."

"Not bad." Dongfang Xin stroked his thick beard and said, "Steamed fish head, I like it too."

Chu Huan asked: "Seafood from the southeast and meat from the northwest, I have long admired the wild beast meat from the northwest, but I didn't know that the fish heads here are also very famous."

Dong Shizhen said with a smile: "My lord does not know that although there are many mountains in the northwest, there are also many rivers, especially the Kanghu Lake in our Yuezhou. There are big-headed fish in it. The fish body is small, but the head is big. Cooked , very delicious."

"So that's how it is." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Since that's the case, today I have the blessing of the old man, so I'll come and taste this steamed fish head."

"The method of steaming the fish head is very complicated." Dong Shizhen said with a smile: "In the entire Northwest, the only one who can make the big head fish extremely delicious is the chef from Beiwanglou."

"Oh?" Chu Huan asked in surprise, "So powerful?"

"Later, the official will call the chef over and introduce this dish to your lord in detail." Dong Shizhen smiled and said: "After listening to his explanation, your lord will know that this dish is complicated to cook."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "That's very good."

At this moment, a voice said: "The old man is here!"

Everyone on the third floor got up immediately, only to see an old man appearing with a maid supporting him. The old man had white hair hanging down his temples and was over seventy years old. He was wearing a brand new birthday robe, his left hand was supported by a maid, and his right hand was leaning on a cane. , Dong Shizhen rushed forward and supported Mrs. Dong's right hand. Everyone bowed to Mrs. Dong one after another. theme.

Dong Shizhen helped the old man to sit down, and everyone congratulated again. Dong Shizhen walked to the stairs, beckoned the waiter to come over, and ordered the dishes to start.

Mrs. Dong was celebrating his birthday, and Dong Shizhen entertained the guests. Naturally, the dishes were excellent, but in a short while, all the good wine and dishes were served. Dong Shizhen was sitting at the right of Chu Huan at this time, and said with a smile: "My lord, the last dish served , is the steamed fish head, the official has already arranged for the chef here to serve it for the adults himself!"

Chu Huan smiled and said, "You're welcome." Picking up the wine glass, he got up and said, "Everyone, today is the old man's [-]th birthday. It's really rare for everyone to get together. Come on, this governor will bring this glass of wine. Let's make a toast to the old man together. Congratulations to the old man for being as blessed as Donghai Shoubi Nanshan!"

All the guests raised their glasses and respected the old man.

Outside the main gate of Beiwanglou, Hao Tong, the captain of General Pingxi's Mansion, with a saber in his waist, stood outside the gate of Beiwanglou with a stern expression and body like a javelin. , with a sword on his waist.

Hao Tong's hand never left the handle of his knife from the beginning to the end. His subordinates were not surprised. Everyone knew that Hao Tong was Dongfang Xin's confidant. When you are slack, and everyone knows that Hao Tong's sword is fast, once his sword is pulled out, it is often the time to see blood.

"You are Hao Tong?" Hao Tong was on full alert when a voice came from behind him. Hao Tong didn't turn his head, but a hand was already on his shoulder.

Hao Tong's hand holding the knife moved slightly, and he turned his head slightly. There was already an extra person beside him. That person was also in armor, without a helmet. He was very young and had a smile on his face.

"I'm Hao Tong." Hao Tong nodded.

"Do you know who I am?" The man asked with a smile. When he spoke, a gust of alcohol gushed out, and his face was flushed red. Anyone who saw it would know that this man must have drunk A lot of wine.

Hao Tong nodded, "You are Xuanyuan Shengcai!"

The man laughed and said, "You really know me."

"The Xuanyuan family is the number one military family in the empire. General Xuanyuan single-handedly beheaded Chi Gongdu, the military general of Youtunwei. The whole world knows about it." Hao Tong said calmly.

"I didn't kill General Youtunwei, but a rebel." Xuanyuan Sheng sighed, "When I came to the northwest, I heard your name. You are the captain of the guard next to General Dongfang. Everyone said you You have a whole body of good skills, so I want to know you."

"We already know each other." Hao Tong didn't move his body, "General Xuanyuan is a distinguished guest today, please continue to have a feast!"

Today is Mrs. Dong's birthday. Although Chu Huan came to the banquet, Xuanyuan Shengcai was also invited. Xuanyuan Shengcai's official position may not be very high, but no one dares to despise such a person. He is a member of the empire's number one military family The member is the cousin of Xuanyuan Shao, the number one divine bow in the world. Such a character, no matter where he appears, will make people look up to him with admiration.

Xuanyuan Sheng was arranged on the first floor. At this time, he had already drank a lot of wine and looked drunk. He took Hao Tong's hand holding the knife and said with a smile, "Come on, have a few drinks with me."

Hao Tong shook his head and said: "Forgive me for not drinking alcohol today, I have official duties, General Xuanyuan please forgive me!"

Xuanyuan Sheng frowned and asked, "Are you rejecting me?"

Hao Tong stared into Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes and said calmly, "Yes!"

Xuanyuan Sheng sighed, and said: "You know, I have never been refused a drink when I invite someone to drink. You are the first person who refuses to drink with me."

Hao Tong said calmly: "I'm on business, please forgive me!"

"What if I insist on you drinking with me?" Xuanyuan Sheng frowned, "Could it be that you look down on me?"

"The general is a member of the No. [-] martial arts family. It is my great honor to know the general." Hao Tongdao: "But today I can only reject the general's kindness, and I will apologize to the general at another time!"

Xuanyuan Sheng shook his head, and said word by word: "I, Xuanyuan Sheng, invite people to drink and never accept rejection. Today, I can't make an exception with you."

The corners of Hao Tong's eyes moved slightly, and at this moment, someone behind Xuanyuan Sheng said: "General Xuanyuan invites you to drink to give you face, if you don't drink, you don't give us face." That person is Xuanyuan Sheng Cai's subordinates, this time when Chu Huan attended the banquet, Xuanyuan Shengcai also brought a few guards to guard him, and they all attended the banquet on the first floor.
