Chapter 16: The Family Feast I

In the side hall of King Fu's mansion, the maids are serving dishes one after another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The hall is simple and quiet, two rows of wooden cases are placed on both sides of the hall at a time, Xiaofu Wang is sitting on the hall looking at Su Yue on the right side and chuckled, "Su Qianhu, you and Lord Chai, Lord Ji, and Miss Yu have just arrived in Luoyang, this king will feast you today with the friendship of the landlord, and I hope not to be polite with this king." ā€

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Fu" The four of them said in unison, Su Yue picked up the wine glass on the table and looked at the jade tassel at the end of the seat, his face was embarrassed, so he raised the wine glass and said respectfully to King Fu, "Senior Sister Yu is not strong enough to drink, I hope Your Highness will forgive me." ā€

"Of course, Jade Girl is at will. King Fu raised his glass to everyone, "This king specially invited a famous chef from Jinling to prepare Jinling's famous food for you." If it is not in your taste, this king will not spare the cook. ā€

"You just eat and drink here, and don't care about me," came a man's rough voice outside the hall.

"Who is making noise outside the hall?" Jiang Yuan, who was opposite Su Yue, was about to get up to check, Chai Wuming knew that it was the third brother Tong Ye when he heard this, and quickly got up and apologized, "It must be my ignorant third brother Tong Ye, and I hope His Royal Highness will forgive me." ā€

"It turned out to be a child, please hurry up. King Fu took a sip of the wine in the glass and smiled.

Tong Ye, who was covered in snow all over his body, walked up to the hall quickly, knelt down and said, "Tong Ye's drunkenness has not retreated, so he has been rude, and he asked His Royal Highness to surrender his crimes." ā€

"Everyone is always working for the imperial court, but it doesn't hurt to have some Jianghu atmosphere. The eyes of the Fu King in the palace were slightly exposed, and with a hint of a smile in his eyes, he waved his hand to signal Jiang Yuan to sit down.

Jiang Yuan retreated to his seat and shouted to the waiter behind him, "Hurry up and get a piece of clothing for Master Tong, don't freeze it." ā€

"Yes", the waiter behind Jiang Yuan quickly exited the side hall.

"Get up quickly," King Fu's face flushed slightly, and he whispered, "Lord Tong quickly take a seat." ā€

"Thank you, Your Highness", Tong Ye got up and came to the wooden table reserved between Chai Wuming and Ji Feng, sat on the wooden chair, glared at Chai Wuming, and snorted, "You... Don't wake me up when you get off the boat..."

Ji Feng on the side stuck out his tongue, "Call you, you slept like a dead pig on the boat, or I carried you to rest." The eldest brother is worried that you will be rude in front of His Highness before you wake up from drinking. ā€

"How much alcohol do I have?" Tong Ye said in a rough voice to the waiter behind him, "Pour wine." The waiter next to him leaned sideways and picked up the wine jug on the wooden table and slowly poured it into the wine glass in Tong Ye's hand.

King Fu put down the wine glass in his hand, picked up the dishes on the wooden table with chopsticks, and whispered, "This king heard that King Yan has been very close to King Qing recently. I wonder if that's true?"

Hearing this, Su Yue was stunned for a long time. Chai Wuming on the right side looked at Su Yue, who was stunned, and hurriedly laughed, "How can this be? ā€

Su Yue was awakened by Chai Wuming's laughter, sat on the wooden chair and saluted with his hands in fists, "We have been on a northern tour on the order of the crown prince this time, and we have not found any special contacts between King Yan and King Qing. ā€

Xiao Fu Wang ate the dishes on the table, and a wicked smile flashed between his eyebrows. "That's good, this king received a letter from the crown prince and uncle a few days ago, saying that you are about to come to Luoyang from Beiping to inspect, and the letter also asked this king to pay more attention to you. ā€

Su Yue, Chai Wuming and the others broke out in a cold sweat when they heard this, the wine glass in their hands trembled, and their faces were bloodless. Since the crown prince took power, King Yan has been dissatisfied with this, and Taizu ordered King Yan to guard Beiping and defend the northern frontier with King Fu in order to prevent his brothers from killing each other. King Qing, as the crown prince's confidant, has been in charge of Jinyiwei since he was interested in befriending the kings to develop his own power, and this time he was ordered to inspect the northern Xinjiang and sent Su Yue and others to secretly communicate with King Yan. But he never thought that he was learned by the secret agents of King Fu's Mansion in Beiping, so King Fu deliberately said it at the banquet with the intention of drinking, testing the reaction of Su Yue and others.

Su Yue and the others were directly opposite Jiang Zhen looked at everyone's expressions and understood it, and said with a smile, "Su Qianhu can rest assured, His Royal Highness my family is no different from participating in the Jinling dispute, so I hope that you will return to Jinling and explain more to His Royal Highness the Prince." His Royal Highness King Fu only wants to defend the northern frontier against Meng Yuan. ā€

"Yes, yes, yes..."Su Yue, who had been relieved, returned to his usual state and said with a smile, "King Fu guards the northern frontier for the imperial court, and we will definitely explain it to His Royal Highness the Prince." ā€

"Then thank you Su Qianhu and all of you. King Fu picked up his wine glass, his cheeks full of joy, "Everyone, please eat." It just so happens that there is a grand event in Luoyang City recently, you might as well stay for a few more days, what do you think?"

Su Yue and the others were thinking about how to divert the topic, but they saw that King Fu changed his words and stopped mentioning King Yan and King Qing. Chai Wuming hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the thing Your Highness is referring to is the Eight Sects of the Martial Arts in the martial arts?"
