Chapter 144 A banquet to thank you
In the Shenji camp, Guo Xiaotian was pacing back and forth with an invitation in his hand, his brows already locked together, and it was really difficult to make a decision.
"That's all, since it's not the Hongmen Banquet, why should I, Guo, be afraid of it?"
It was indeed not the Hongmen Banquet, but the person hosting the banquet was none other than House Yi, which put Guo Xiaotian in a difficult position. He had always been unwilling to have too much involvement with Dongchang, fearing that others would classify him as one of the eunuchs.
Compared with Guo Xiaotian, Liu Yidao is much more cheerful. It's not that he doesn't have Guo Xiaotian's concerns, it's just that the Yulin Army and Dongchang collaborate a lot, so it's understandable that the house is easy to entertain him. From his personal level, it's easy to lend flowers, offer knives to Buddhas, and give knives to the house first.
After doing this, he was offered a life-saving offer, and it was really hard for him to refuse.
Liuxianglou is the largest restaurant in the capital, and the food here is outstanding. There is a saying in the capital that goes like this, the women of Zuixianglou, the dishes of Liuxianglou, and the clothes of Jinyifang.
Liuxiang Tower, the name of Liuxiang Tower, comes from a saying. When the founder Zhu Di was named King of Yan, he came here in a hurry. He was hungry for a while, and suddenly smelled a fragrance. He was secretly happy, thinking that there was a restaurant nearby.
After running for several miles, the aroma became stronger and stronger, but there was no restaurant. When I arrived at the former Liuxianglou, I just ate. On a whim, I wrote the words "Liuxianglou", which means the fragrance flows all over the world.
Later, the owner of the restaurant found out that the person who inscribed the inscription was King Yan, and he felt proud and changed the name of the restaurant to "Liuxianglou". Later, King Yan conquered the world, and later moved the capital to Beijing, and Liuxianglou became even more prosperous.
"Haha, Brother Liu."
"Brother Guo, I didn't expect that Brother Guo would also come to the banquet."
"Brother Liu is here, isn't he? When I heard that it was Liuxiang Tower, I, Guo, got greedy in my stomach. There is really nothing I can do."
"Haha, please!"
"please!"
In the compartment in Liuxiang Building, Fang Fangyi saw Liu Yidao and Guo Xiaotian through the window. With the help of the two this time, Fang Fangyi was able to clear out the East Factory, so Fang Fangyi thought of entertaining the two of them.
Another important reason is that Fang Fangyi wants to improve the relationship between Dongchang and the ministers of the DPRK and China. Making too many enemies is not a good thing after all.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Fang Fangyi stepped forward to open the door, clasped his fists at Guo Xiaotian and Liu Yidao and said, "Haha, it's really a great honor for the Ze family that you two can come."
"My father-in-law invited me, how dare we not come?"
"Haha, you two please come in quickly."
Liu Yidao and Guo Xiaotian didn't want to stay outside any longer. Liuxiang Tower was famous in the capital, and many officials came here. They were afraid that this scene would fall into the eyes of interested people.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Yidao sniffed his nose and said: "Well, the name of Liuxiang Tower is indeed well-deserved. As soon as you come here, your nose is filled with fragrance. Even if you don't eat it, just smell it, it will make you have endless aftertaste. My father-in-law is really
Can you choose a place?"
Fang Fang Yi smiled and said, "It's not because I'm afraid that the two busy people won't come. I can only borrow the name of Liuxiang Tower. I think the two of you will definitely come."
"Speaking of busy, Mr. Guo has been really busy these past two days. That mysterious person came and went freely under the nose of my Shenji Camp. This is a slap in the face of my Shenji Camp. From now on, I, Mr. Guo, will become a colleague.
What a laughing stock. It’s a pity that my Shenji Battalion has been investigating for many days, but there has been no progress. I’m ashamed. I wonder if my father-in-law can find out anything if he continues to investigate?”
Guo Xiaotian's words were to test Fang Fang Yi's appearance. Objectively speaking, his Shenji camp was indeed suspicious. He said this just to see Fang Fang Yi's reaction.
After Guo Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned to look at the house.
Fang Fangyi smiled bitterly and said: "General Guo thinks too highly of the Ye family. The Ye family has just established a foothold in Dongchang, and Dongchang has suffered huge losses. General Guo's Shenji camp cannot be found, and the Ye family has nothing to do. However,
General Guo need not worry, the emperor knows that General Guo is loyal and will not blame the general. Besides, this matter is not the fault of the general alone."
Guo Xiaotian's heart was completely relieved. This banquet was not in vain. As the emperor's eyes, Dongchang would be troublesome if he plotted against him.
Fang Fang Yi's words fell, and Liu Yidao continued: "Hey, I'm a coward this time. Who knew that a group of mysterious people would appear on the way. The brothers brought out by my Royal Forest Army suffered a lot of casualties. If I knew who these bastards were,
Liu must have chopped them to vent his hatred."
While they were talking, the waiter's food and drinks were served. Not only was the food fragrant, but it was also beautifully made, and just one look at it made people appetite.
Putting down the wine bottle, the waiter poured a glass of wine for everyone, then left and closed the door gently. Picking up the wine glass, Fang Fangyi said to Liu Yidao and Guo Xiaotian: "What happened last time, my family is here.
Thank you both."
"Haha, father-in-law is so polite."
The table is full of tempting wine and food, and just one bite will make you feel comfortable. When you come to Liuxianglou, you never have to order, because the dishes on each table will be matched according to the different guests. I have been here for many years, and there is no one.
Customers have never been dissatisfied, this is also the brilliance of Liuxianglou.
In the past, a man would feel uncomfortable dining with eunuchs. The eunuch's masculine and masculine temperament, as well as his voice, would make people lose their appetite. However, Fang Yi is different. Although he talks like "Zha Jia" when talking,
But there is no trace of femininity, like a scholar full of knowledge, but more perseverance than a scholar, Xiao Sha.
After a few rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became more lively. He was no longer reserved when he spoke. Liu Yidao picked up the wine glass and said to the house Yi with a mouth full of wine: "Although my father-in-law is young, his skills make me envious.
Ah, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, but my skills are far behind those of my father-in-law."
As soon as Liu Yidao opened his mouth, Guo Xiaotian also became interested. He had never seen Fang Fang Yi's skill with his own eyes. But he knew Liu Yidao's strength. He was one of the top masters in the capital. Ordinary people would not be his opponents at all. Otherwise
He was also not qualified to command the Royal Forest Army. Liu Yidao believed that he was no match for Fang Fang Yi, which made him curious.
Fang Fangyi also knew that there were not many people at his age who had such attainments in Kung Fu. He smiled bitterly at the two of them and said, "General Liu is overly praised. Although the Ye family has such achievements in Kung Fu, they have also put in a lot of effort."
It’s a big price, otherwise I wouldn’t be a eunuch.”
Once these words come out, no one will ask, even if they are curious. No one wants to mention other people's sad things in front of others.
"Haha, Guo enjoyed his meal today. Thanks to my father-in-law's kindness, Guo did not dare to stay too long due to matters in the army, so he left first."
"Yes, today's good fortune is all due to my father-in-law. We all have official positions. If we drink too much, we will get into trouble. Otherwise, we must have fun with our father-in-law."
"You two don't have to be like this. It's time for the Zhang family to leave. If there is any progress regarding the mysterious man in the future, I hope you will tell each other at all costs and let us work together to investigate the matter."
"If you don't say anything, father-in-law, we will do the same. Take our leave."
