Xun Yu looked at his son with a puzzled expression, unfavorable? How can it be said to be a disadvantage? Even if you lose, it has nothing to do with the Xun family! Xun Yu asked: "What does this matter have to do with us, how do you think it is beneficial to us as a father?" ”

Xun Mou sat next to his father, rubbing the handrail uneasily, "The previous defeat was against me, and the saint does not blame me, it is still the emperor's grace." This time, the saint once again sent Gao Han to take command of the western expedition, if he was defeated again, I was afraid that the saint would settle the new accounts and the old accounts together. And this expedition to the west must not be defeated again, if not, the treasury is empty, and the source of troops is insufficient, I am afraid that there will be a danger of overthrowing the country! ”

After that, there was silence in the room, Xun Yu stood up and paced back and forth in the house, it seemed that the situation was not as simple as he thought.

Prince Liu Yan made a carriage and came to the front of the high mansion, the red lantern hanging on the door of the mansion reflected the smile on the corner of Liu Yan's mouth. Liu Yan was in a good mood, and he didn't refrain from the enthusiasm of a few disciples, and greeted them with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard, tonight's supper will be invited by the palace, and I will ask my entourage to buy you the best Pan Ji soup cake in the capital in a while!" ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, thank you, ......"

At this time, Gao Han flashed out of the courtyard at some point and stopped a few men, "Why are you so rude! Don't all step down yet! ”

The doorman turned around and saw that it was the old man, and they all lowered their heads and went back to the gatehouse. Gao Han hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the crown prince, "The house slave is rude and rushing, let Your Highness laugh!" ”

Liu Yan smiled and waved his hand, "Eh...... You're welcome, sir! These minions are hard enough, and they should help and condole. ”

Gao Han respectfully made a gesture of invitation, "Your Highness is inconvenient to speak outside, please inside!" The little one has already prepared a thin sake in the hall and is waiting for you! ”

"Oh?" Liu Yan was slightly surprised, "How did you know that this palace would come?" ”

Gao Han laughed, "Of course! Xia Guan came in the morning and heard the magpie chirping in the yard, and thought that there would definitely be a distinguished guest coming to the door today. ”

Liu Yan laughed when he heard this, "Okay, good!" That's bothering! ”

After the two of them entered the hall and sat down, Liu Yan looked at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he pointed at so many dishes with chopsticks and said with a smile: "These dozen dishes are well done, they look appetizing!" Tall man let you break the bank! ”

Gao Han waved his hand and smiled: "Eh, Your Highness, you are polite, these dishes are specially made by the famous chef in the capital invited for you, and the taste is even more amazing." The celebrity chef who invited this dish of locust leaf cold tao is a must, this is with locust leaf juice and noodles, and eating this in summer is the most refreshing and delicious. As he spoke, he sandwiched some noodles into the prince's bowl, "You can taste it......"

Liu Yan nodded again and again after taking a bite, "Sure enough, it's worthy of the name!" I haven't eaten this dish for a long time, it's really good, I can taste it again today, and I have to thank Lord Gao! Liu Yan looked around and asked, "What about Brother Gao?" Why don't you see him? ”

"After the martial arts competition between the younger brothers, the saint later sent a decree that a Qionglin banquet was set up in the palace to invite him and Pang Gu, so he entered the palace again. It is estimated that I will not be able to come back for a while. ”

"General Gao seems to be very busy!" Liu Yan said with a smile, "I haven't seen him many times in this palace!" ”

Gao Han said: "Your Royal Highness Lao, you are worried, another day, the official will take his younger brother to the prince's mansion to ask for thanks!" ”

"Shane?" Liu Yan smiled and said, "What kind of grace is Xie Bengong?" ”

Gao Han smiled flatteringly, "My brother can have today's handsome position, if it weren't for Your Highness to take care of you, how could he have such a blessing!" ”

Liu Yan saw him pat himself like this, smiled secretly in his heart, and waved his hand to Gao Han, "Lord Gao's words are wrong, this is all General Gao's true ability, this palace has no merit, if you say blessings, it has to be the palace to occupy the blessings of your high servants!" ”

Gao Han smiled and bowed: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, our Gao family still depends on your love!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Liu Yan said with a smile, "Since the palace heard Lord Gao's views on the flood of the Yellow River in the court that day, I have always felt that you are a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, hehe...... What a condescending talent! ”

Gao Han's eyes lit up, and he stood up and gave the prince a deep bow, "In the future, the two Xiaguan brothers will have to rely on your support Your Highness!" ”

The evening breeze is blowing, and the weather has gradually cooled since August, although today's competition Lu Zuo and others are full of blood, but their hearts are like a warm breeze. Lu Zuo and his apprentice Yin Ji were eating and laughing in the hall, Lu Zuo put vegetables in Yin Ji's bowl from time to time, and praised him with a smile: "Ji'er, you played really well today, you see that everyone here is suppressed by your child......"

After Yin Ji swallowed a mouthful of food, he didn't wait for the master to finish speaking, and said impatiently: "Master, you have praised it several times, and you still said!" ”

Lu Zuo was pleased: "As a teacher, this is happy for you!" You've been with me for a while, and I hope to ...... in the future."

"Master, master......" Lao Pan hurriedly knocked on the door, "The acting master of Xinghua Restaurant is looking for you!" ”

"What about people?"

"Outside the yard!"

"Let him in!" Lu Zuo said lightly.

"He said there is an urgent matter, let you go with him, you see......" Lao Pan said with some embarrassment.

Yin Ji complained: "I don't let people eat, when is this ......?"

Lu Zuo pressed Yin Ji's shoulder, signaled him not to talk nonsense, and whispered to Yin Ji: "Think about something!" After that, he continued to rush to the door and said loudly, "Then you go and say, I'll change my clothes and come here." ”

Yin Ji listened to the footsteps outside the courtyard fading away, so he asked in a low voice, "Master, do you say that this is Brother Dag, or did King Ning send him to call us?" ”

Lu Zuo sneered: "What do you say? Who else can invite Dai Heng to call us in person! ”

The master and apprentice changed into green clothes, came to the front of the courtyard, and bowed to each other, Dai Heng bowed down again and said: "I heard that the housekeeper said that Mr. Lu was eating, and it was really disturbing to be here." ”

"Mr. Dai is polite, it's okay!" Lu Zuo stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Then let's go!" ”

The three of them came to Xinghua Restaurant, Yin Ji pulled the master and wanted him to go to Brother Dang together, Lu Zuo saw Dai Heng's embarrassed face, and knew that King Ning might have something urgent, so he sternly refused: "Forget it now, it's not too late to come back to see him when we finish our work." ”

Yin Ji followed Lu Zuo in a curt, entered the secret passage of the firewood room, and came to King Ning's mansion. It was still the same as before, when he came to the firewood room of King Ning's mansion, someone answered again, and after Dai Heng sent it here, he turned around and left.
