Chapter 1062 Birthday Banquet

Brothers have great monthly tickets. Thank you in the desert. Let’s work harder!—

Chu Huan smiled and picked up the wine glass and said, "General Dongfang is amazing. It's okay to drink a few glasses, but it's only a few glasses. My supervisor has limited alcohol content and can't drink with General Dongfang."

"Sir, I'm so modest." Dongfang Xin got closer and said with a smile: "I offended the Governor a few days ago, so don't take it to heart."

"Occurs?" Chu Huan asked deliberately: "What happened?"

Dongfang Xin said: "It's that batch of supplies..."

Before Dongfang Xin finished speaking, Chu Huan waved his hand with a smile and said, "If General Dongfang doesn't mention it, I have forgotten it. General Dongfang, that's all a trivial matter. You and I are all working for the court. Maybe there is some friction in official affairs, but there is no grudge between the four of us. We have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. If there is anything wrong with the Japanese governor, don't be surprised by General Dongfang."

"Where are there." Dongfang Xin Zhan said with a smile: "Governor General, by the heart, Dongfang Xin admires not many people, but now he admires the Governor General very much. He is a good man, so I respect people like you."

"General Dongfang has been awarded too much." Chu Huan waved his hand and smiled: "It's all the past matters. If you don't mention it, come, the general will sit here, so you and I can drink."

After saying that, Chu Huan pointed to his left head, and there was a case there. According to his status, it was indeed the position of Dongfangxin.

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

Twenty or thirty guests were arranged on the third floor, and many people were chatting, with a little noisy voice. Chu Huan and Dongfang Xin were talking in a low voice. Many people didn't hear anything, but saw the two of them smiling and seemed to have a lot of conversation. Everyone was a little confused and thought to themselves that Chu Huan and Dongfang Xin were as powerful as water and fire. Just a few days ago, Chu Huan even brought people to regain a large number of supplies from Kun character camp, which greatly reduced Dongfang Xin's face. Why did the two men look very close today?

Some people who know Dongfangxin are also secretly puzzled. They need to know that Dongfangxin is self-reliant and arrogant, and is a person who is above the top. Since he is as powerful as water and fire with Chu Huan, he can talk to each other with a smile today, which is really against his nature.

The guests on the third floor were mainly elderly people. In addition to the elderly gentry, there were also many elderly officials. Today is Mr. Dong’s birthday, and the chair seat was arranged on the third floor, so Dong Shizhen arranged the elderly gentry and officials on the third floor as much as possible.

The sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the stairs. Before the person arrived, Dong Shizhen's voice had already been heard: "Thank you, thank you. Thank you for your care today, I am really grateful to come to my father's birthday party."

In the voice, Dong Shizhen was wearing a brocade robe and had already emerged from the stairs. Many people present got up. Dong Shizhen smiled, her small eyes narrowed, and returned the salute to her left and right. When she came to Chu Huan, she bowed and said, "Governor, you are here, and my father is so happy to hear it."

"Where is the old man now?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "We are going to celebrate the old man's birthday."

"It'll be here soon." Dong Shizhen's face was filled with a festive smile. "My father was cleaning up at home before, but now he is on the way." He said ashamed: "I'm really sorry for you to wait for a long time."

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Today is the 70th birthday of the old man, that's the biggest thing. The old man is the best, everyone has to wait!"

Dongfang Xin nodded and smiled, "That's right." He said to Dong Shizhen, "I thought Mr. Dong was going to hold a birthday party in his residence, but I didn't expect to come here."

Dong Shizhen smiled and said, "General Dongfang should know that the steamed fish head in Beiwanglou is a masterpiece of Shuoquan. His father's favorite dish is the steamed fish head here. He originally wanted to invite everyone to sit in the humble house, but his father rarely goes out and stays in the mansion all day long. He just takes advantage of this birthday party to come here to get some breath and make steamed fish head from here. That is the most authentic one."

"Not bad." Dongfang Xin touched his rough beard and said, "I like to eat steamed fish heads, too."

Chu Huan asked: "Southeast seafood and northwest meat. I have long admired the famous wild beast meat in the northwest, but I don't know that the fish heads here are also very famous."

Dong Shizhen smiled and said, "I don't know that although there are mountains in the northwest, there are many rivers, especially Kanghu in our Yuezhou. There are big-headed fish. The fish body is very small but the fish head is very big. When cooked, it is extremely delicious."

"So that's it." Chu Huan laughed and said, "Since that's it, I'll try this steamed fish head today."

"The method of steaming fish heads is very complicated." Dong Shizhen smiled and said, "The only chef in the Northwest who can make big-headed fish is extremely delicious."

"Oh?" Chu Huanqi said: "So amazing?"

"The official will call the chef over later and introduce the dish in detail to the adults." Dong Shizhen smiled and said, "After listening to his explanation, you will know that this dish is complicated to cook."

Chu Huan nodded and said, "It's so good."

At this moment, I heard a voice saying, "Old man is here!"

Everyone on the third floor immediately stood up and saw a maid holding an old man. The old man had white hair and drooping temples, over 70 years old, wearing a brand new birthday robe. He was supported by the maid in his left hand and a crutch in his right hand. Dong Shizhen hurriedly came forward and supported Mr. Dong's right hand. Everyone bowed to Mr. Dong. The old man looked a little dizzy and mixed with eyes. He just nodded and sat on the main seat with Dong Shizhen's support.

Dong Shizhen helped the old man sit down, and everyone congratulated each other again. Dong Shizhen walked to the stairs, waved to let the clerk approach, and ordered the meal to start serving.

Mr. Dong celebrates his birthday and Dong Shizhen entertains guests. This dish is naturally excellent. In a moment, all the wine and dishes are served. Dong Shizhen is sitting on Chu Huan's right head and smiles: "Sir, the last dish served is steamed fish head. The official has arranged it and let the chef here serve it for the adults in person!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "You are kind." He picked up the wine glass and stood up and said, "Everyone, today is the 70th birthday of the old man. It is really rare for everyone to get together. Come on, I will give you a glass of wine. Let me share this glass of wine. I wish you a cup of wine together. I wish you a blessing from the East China Sea and the South Mountain!"

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

Outside the main gate of Beiwang Tower, Hao Tong, the captain of the Pingxi General's Mansion, wore a sword on his waist, with a cold expression and a javelin. He stood outside the gate of Beiwang Tower. On both sides, there were elite Pingxi General's Mansion guards, all with armor on his body and swords on his waist.

Hao Tong's hand never left his knife handle from beginning to end. His subordinates were not surprised. Everyone knew that Hao Tong was Dongfang Xin's confidant. This man seemed to always maintain the highest vigilance. It was difficult to see when he relaxed a little. And everyone also knew that Hao Tong's knife was fast, and once his knife was pulled out, it was often the time to see blood.

"Are you Hao Tong?" Hao Tong was on guard all over. Suddenly, a voice came from behind. Hao Tong did not turn around, but one hand had already put on his shoulder.

Hao Tong's hand holding the knife moved slightly, turned his head slightly, and there was an extra person beside him. The man was wearing armor and not wearing a helmet. He was very young and had a smile on his face.

"I am Hao Tong." Hao Tong nodded.

"Do you know who I am?" the man asked with a smile. As he spoke, a smell of alcohol gushed out, and his face was red. Anyone who saw it knew 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 first martial arts family in the empire. General Xuanyuan once killed Chi Gongdu, the general of the Youtun Guard, alone. This matter is known in the world." Hao Tong said calmly.

"I didn't kill General Youtun Guard, but a rebel." Xuanyuan Sheng sighed: "When I came to the northwest, I heard your name. You are the captain of the guards around General Dongfang. They all say that you have good skills, so I want to know you."

"We have already met." Hao Tong's body did not move, "General Xuanyuan is a distinguished guest today, please continue to use the banquet!"

Today, Mr. Dong's birthday was on his 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 dared to underestimate such a person. He is a member of the imperial family of the first martial arts clan and the cousin of Xuanyuan Shao, the world's No. 1 god bow. Such a person will be admired no matter where he appears.

Xuanyuan Sheng was just arranged on the first floor. At this time, he had already drunk a lot of wine and seemed to be drunk. He grabbed Hao Tong's hand holding the knife and smiled and said, "Come on, you can have a few drinks with me."

Hao Tong shook his head and said, "Forgive me not to drink today. I am always in charge of official duties. General Xuanyuan, please forgive me!"

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

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

Xuanyuan Sheng sighed and said, "Do you know that I have invited someone to drink, but I have never been rejected until now. You are the first person to refuse to drink with me."

Hao Tong said calmly: "I am in official duties, please forgive me!"

"What if I had to ask you to drink with me?" Xuanyuan Sheng then raised his eyebrows, "Do you look down on me?"

"The general is from the first family of martial arts honors. It is a great honor for me to know the general." Hao Tong: "But today I can only refuse the general's kindness and apologize to the general another day!"

Xuanyuan Shengcai shook his head and said word by word: "I, Xuanyuan Shengcai, invite someone to drink, never accept rejection, and today, I cannot make an exception for you."

Hao Tong's eyes moved slightly, and at this moment, someone said behind Xuanyuan Shengcai: "General Xuanyuan invites you to drink, to give you face. If you don't drink, you won't give us face." The man was Xuanyuan Shengcai's subordinate. When Chu Huan went to the banquet, Xuanyuan Shengcai also brought several guard warriors to guard, all of whom were on the first floor to attend the banquet.
