(There is a map easter egg at the end of the chapter, please check it out!)
As night fell, the whole world fell into silence.
In the guard family area on the east side of the palace, dinner is being arranged at the moment.
Nowadays, the food supply system in the city is implemented. In order to maintain it as long as possible, the share of ordinary people can only be said to not starve to death.
The food supply in the palace is slightly higher, at least there is no problem in eating enough.
The small courtyard on the southeast side of the family area is lit with lights at the moment, and a table is placed in the center of the courtyard.
Liu Enfu was sitting on the smokeless steps, sharpening a small wooden sword for his son. At this moment, he was not the Baihu who chopped down zombies, but a father and husband.
At this time, Mrs. Xu, who was preparing the food, couldn't help but said: "Cut it...I know it's useless all day long!"
"The kids like it!" Liu Enfu didn't take it seriously.
"You still know how to think about your children, so why don't you think about this family?" Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes.
After handing the whittled wooden sword to the child, Liu Enfu turned his head and said, "Why don't I think about this family anymore?"
"Then you are pretending to be arrogant outside?" Mrs. Xu said angrily.
"Thousands of households have been promoted, but you care more about them than others. Why do you think our family should treat us? It's the two people who have been promoted!"
Mrs. Xu was indeed very angry. The family was already in a tight situation and she was reluctant to eat many good things, but today she used them all to entertain others.
It's not that Xu is stingy, but that the current situation is difficult, and there is no point in showing off at this time.
"In other words, you want to save face. Look at Ren Wang's family to see if they are the same as you!"
After being scolded by his own woman, Liu Enfu couldn't help but scolded: "You know nothing!"
"This matter is not as simple as you think. Don't talk about these things when you go out in the future, so as not to cause trouble to our family!"
Seeing that her man spoke solemnly, Mrs. Xu stopped talking. She still listened to her husband on important matters.
In fact, although Liu Enfu was not as deep-thinking as Xu Hong, he still thought more than Wang Zong, who didn't think about anything.
Therefore, Liu Enfu knew very well that when Xu Hong and Xu Hong were promoted to Qianhu, on the surface it seemed that their official ranks had become higher, but in fact they were further away from the core power.
Fang Sheng was ruthless and sent to the Military and Horse Division to balance Wang Cheng and Duan Hong, but Xu Hong also left the Guard Division, which Liu Enfu did not expect.
This person is obviously the most familiar with His Highness and should not be demoted. Liu Enfu felt that it would be more "appropriate" for him to go out.
"Perhaps Xu Hong's demotion was related to the incident of officials breaking into the palace that day!" Liu Enfu secretly guessed.
It was Xu Hong who was on duty that day when officials broke into the palace, but instead of doing his job to stop him, he was coerced by the officials.
This was a very serious mistake. Zhao Yanxun reprimanded Xu Hong that day, and many people present saw it. There was no way this matter could be hidden.
Xu Hong definitely didn't want to be "promoted", so Liu Enfu warned his wife not to open or lift any pot.
Why he held a banquet to "congratulate" Xu Hong today was essentially because he felt guilty and thought that Xu Hong had filled his own hole.
During this period of working with Xu Hong, Liu Enfu knew that he was very capable and it would be better to find a good relationship.
"Bang bang bang" there was a knock on the door outside the yard. Liu Enfu knew that the guest was coming, so he immediately got up and went to open the door.
When he opened the door, he saw that it was Wang Zong who came outside, carrying a wine jar in his hand.
"Just now my mother-in-law said that she only brings freeloaders into the house, so I said Brother Wang is not such a person!" Liu Enfu said with a smile.
Wang Zong is a kind man, so Liu Enfu is not afraid to joke with him.
Entering the courtyard, Wang Zong raised the wine jar to his chest and said with a smile: "I asked for this from His Highness!"
"You are awesome!" Liu Enfu gave a thumbs up.
When the wine jar was placed on the table, Mrs. Xu walked out of the room again, holding a plate of peanuts in her hand, which was a rare good thing.
Liu Enfu and Wang Zongcai took their seats. At this moment, two more people came outside the courtyard gate, it was Fang Sheng and Xu Hong.
"The two Qianhu are here, please take your seats quickly!" Liu Enfu stood up and said.
When he saw the food and wine on the table, Fang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up, he rubbed his hands and walked over to the table.
"Hey...this thing is not easy to get. Where did Lao Liu get it?"
Liu Enfu pointed to Wang Zong and replied: "Old Wang brought it, he got it from the prince!"
Being able to beg for a drink from Zhao Yanxun made Xu Hong envious. It was impossible for him to be so close to Zhao Yanxun.
"Stop standing around, come on, come on...sit down!" Liu Enfu greeted.
The four of them just sat down. Fang Sheng directly picked up the jar and poured himself a bowl, and then drank a bowl like a cow.
After finishing the bowl, Fang Sheng slapped the bowl on the table and couldn't help but praise: "It's so enjoyable!"
Liu Enfu snatched the wine jar away. If Fang Sheng was allowed to drink like this, the wine jar would be empty in a few strokes.
After personally pouring wine for everyone present, Liu Enfu picked up the wine bowl and said: "Come on... you two Qianhu, congratulations on your promotion!"
At this moment, Wang Zong also picked up the wine bowl and said: "Congratulations to the two brothers on your promotion!"
Fang Sheng smiled and picked up the wine bowl and said boldly: "Haha... come and drink!"
But at this time, Xu Hong looked at the wine bowl in his hands and said helplessly: "Brothers, I would rather be a member of the Hundred Households in the Guards Department!"
After saying this, Xu Hong drank all the wine in the bowl.
Liu Enfu sighed inwardly, secretly thinking that what he had expected was indeed good, and Xu Hong was still unwilling to leave the Guards Department.
"Come on, let's drink!" Liu Enfu said with a forced smile.
Originally, Fang Sheng drank the most, but at the back, it was Xu Hong who kept pouring wine for him.
I didn't have much wine to begin with, but after a few bowls of it, the wine jar was completely empty.
"Lao Liu, Lao Wang... I really envy you!" Xu Hong pressed Wang Zong's shoulder and said.
"What do you think I envy you for?"
"I envy you that you can still stay with the prince and travel around, but I don't have this opportunity anymore!"
After just a few bowls of wine, is he already drunk? The other three people present felt suspicious.
This guy was drunk and crazy at the moment. What was he talking nonsense about? Wang Zong was puzzled.
Liu Enfu and Fang Sheng looked at each other as if they had a tacit understanding, and they guessed Xu Hong's purpose.
This guy is telling the truth over wine at this moment, not for them at all, but to express his loyalty to His Highness King Yong.
There are many eyes and ears in the palace, so it is normal for Zhao Yanxun to hear loud noises like Xu Hong's.
Liu Enfu didn't say much, but Fang Sheng couldn't help but said: "I said, Lao Xu, why are you doing this... No matter where we go as errands, we are all working for the prince, so what's the difference?"
"Your Majesty is now going to open up a new life outside the city. It's time for you and me to show off our skills to repay Your Majesty's kindness... Why do you have to act like a woman!"
Fang Sheng's words shocked the jaws of everyone around him. The three people present seemed to know him for the first time.
This guy doesn't fit in with his usual ruthless image. He looks like a smooth talker.
But Fang Sheng's words really woke up Xu Hong, and he realized that he shouldn't feel sorry for himself.
"Come, for the sake of the prince's plan, let's have another bowl!" Xu Hong said dejectedly as he put away his drink.
