Chapter 431: Banquet

Gu Molly knew that her existence was embarrassing, so she tried not to speak, as if she noticed Queen Wan's gaze, she turned her head and smiled at her.

Queen Wan bowed slightly in response, and outside the screen, the banquet belonging to the soldiers had begun.

Hengzong, who was sitting on a high place, ordered someone to fill the wine glass, raised it high, and said with a smile, "The border city can be recaptured from the Dacheng army, this time thanks to General Zhang's excellent strategy!" ”

Zhang Mo hurriedly got up, "Your Majesty has praised it, in fact, you can recapture the border city so quickly, and there is one person who has contributed a lot!" ”

"Oh? General Zhang, but it doesn't matter. ”

"This person is a new non-commissioned officer under the minister, Jinfeng, why don't you come and see Your Majesty!"

Gu Moli, who was sitting in the screen, suddenly felt a familiar voice when she heard this name, and then a familiar voice sounded in her ears.

"Subordinate Gu Jinfeng, see Your Majesty!"

Liu Chongrong, who was sitting on the side, frowned and muttered, "Where did this Gu Jinfeng come from?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have found something, and showed a malicious smile, "Li Jieyu, this non-commissioned officer's surname is the same as yours?" ...... of them"

"Ahem!" Concubine De, who had never spoken on the side, coughed lightly, and said softly, "Liu Chongrong, now the soldiers who are celebrating the triumph outside, although it is said that there is a place, but ...... It's better to be careful between statements. ”

Concubine De is a good person in the palace, she is a concubine, and the backstage of her mother's family is hard enough, basically no one dares to mess with her.

She is usually quite low-key, except for having to attend the banquet, she can basically push and retreat, but this time she had to come because she was invited by the saint.

Liu Chongrong finally settled down now, and Gu Molly finally breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to deal with such a domineering woman.

As early as three days ago, she knew that Gu Zifeng had gone to the Ministry of Officials to resign, and her father, who originally had a squire, was still a little confident, but now he was alone and had nothing.

The only thing she could rely on now was herself.

The forces in this palace are changing rapidly, and if she wants to protect herself, she must make herself strong enough, and now such an embarrassing position can only make her dormant for a while.

She was very surprised after hearing Gu Jinfeng's voice, this was a big thing on the front line, how did he ......

"Gu Jinfeng?" Hengzong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled, "It's a good name, General Zhang might as well tell me, what's going on on this front line?" ”

"Yes! Back to Your Majesty, things are probably like this......" Then Zhang Mo said a lot about what happened on the way to the march, especially when he talked about deliberately designing a surprise attack on the enemy, Hengzong, who listened to it with relish, applauded loudly.

"I finally understand why you think so highly of this kid! That's a great achievement! Reward, must be rewarded! ”

"Ah Fu! Spread my will, Zhang Mo recaptured the border city this time, rewarded two mansions of a thousand taels of gold, treasured a number of curiosities, and the rest of the generals ......"

Hengzong, who was on the rise, allocated a lot of silver to everyone, but when it was Gu Jinfeng's turn, he showed a meaningful smile.

"As for this young talent, I have another reward!" Under the words, it means to reward the official position, and these words made Gu Moli's heart jump to her throat when she heard it.

Song Rujin and the others who were sitting on the side had a bad look on their faces, this kid knew at a glance that it was brought out by Xu Yu himself, if he was allowed to gain power in the court again, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage to himself? !

Before he could think of the wording, Xu Yu on the side got up first and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”

"Xu Qing has a good proposal?"

"The minister feels that although Jinfeng has made a contribution in this battle, he still has to temper it, and the minister heard that he is going to participate in this martial arts test, so it is better to... Let's take a look at the results first? ”

The meaning in Xu Yu's words was obvious, and Hengzong was a little surprised: "You still want to participate in the martial arts competition?" That's good, since the implementation of this martial arts, there are many talents, and I am not a stingy person, if you come out on top in this test, the reward will definitely not be missing you! ”

Gu Jinfeng also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly saluted and thanked, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

After that, it was time for everyone to staggered and communicate with each other, and in order to add to the fun, they also called a few maids who played the pipa well to play on the spot, which attracted continuous applause.

Xu Yuning Ke talked in a low voice with all the officials of the DPRK and China who had a good relationship, while Zhang Mo and the others unceremoniously drank the special wine provided by the palace, and after a while, they became a little drunk.

Only Gu Jinfeng sat quietly in the corner, dealing with some people who came to toast and intended to make friends from time to time.

The banquet lasted until late before everyone left.

On the way back, Ning Ke put his arm on Gu Jinfeng's shoulder and teased, "How?" This time, I finally saw the banquet in the palace, right? ”

He nodded, "Well, it's the same as you said, the food is average, and the wine is slightly good." ”

"Which of these people is here to eat like you? If you do more, it will be cold and cold leftovers, and it is easy to feel uncomfortable when you go back to your stomach after eating too much. Ning Ke said with a smile, "But the house has already prepared for supper, let's go for a walk, how can you fill your stomach just by drinking, go back and eat more!" ”

When I left the imperial city, I saw that different carriages had been waiting for a long time.

Ning Ke pointed to one of the inconspicuous cars, "Wang Ye has arrived, let's go!" ”

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice behind him: "Isn't this Vice General Ning, what a coincidence!" ”

Ning Ke frowned when he heard this voice, and turned his head to look at Song Rujin, who was followed by Su Chen in white clothes.

What a fart! At the banquet just now, the old fox's eyes have been aimed at him several times, and now it's over, and there is still a face to set up?

If he used his usual temper, he would definitely be sarcastic, but now that almost all the powerful people are here, they are all wandering around here at the moment, and they have to pay attention to what they say.

Su Chen also saw Gu Jinfeng and smiled slightly, "Brother Gu, don't come to harm?" ”

"......" Gu Jinfeng frowned and said nothing, but he still bowed, he was a waiter in the Criminal Department, and he was only Bai Ding now.

Song Rujin also deliberately looked around and asked, "What about Lord Xu?" There were too many people who came up to toast at the banquet before, and the official didn't have time to go, so he thought about saying hello when he left... Lord Xu, is this not there? ”

Ning Ke narrowed his eyes, "The adult was unwell and left first, it's normal that Lord Song didn't see it, if you want to visit, why don't you change the day?" ”

Song Rujin was a little regretful, "That's a pity, since Lord Xu is unwell, then the next official will come back another day." After speaking, he took Su Chen to sit in the carriage next to him, leaving Ning Ke to grit his teeth in place.

He hasn't settled accounts with this guy before, but now he still has the face?!

Gu Jinfeng looked at the back of Su Chen leaving, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Xu Qing, you can tell me what the hell is going on with that kid now, right?"

After the banquet dispersed, Xu Yu was summoned by Hengzong to the side hall and asked about Gu Jinfeng's situation.

Xu Yu hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Your Majesty, this time it is true that the minister took the initiative to recruit him into the camp, in fact, it is also the minister who owes him a favor, and it is really difficult to shirk it." ”

Hengzong smiled: "Who dares to let you owe favors?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's about the Qi family's treasure map, and the clue to this treasure map is what he personally handed over to the minister."
