Chapter 299 Hongmen Banquet (Dears, you can vote monthly)
Huo Tian invited Mr. Cui to the banquet, saying that he wanted to apologize for his rudeness a few days ago.
Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wu and Mr. Chen were all invited and asked to accompany him.
Jiang Yinzhi was also invited, and he was flattered.
Except for him, several others smiled and said nothing and went along happily.
Huo Tian is too arrogant and domineering, and he is arrogant just because of the recognition of the Holy One. Only when he suffers a loss will he know how powerful he is.
However, as an official in the court, it is better to make fewer enemies.
Since he knew he was wrong and took the initiative to show his kindness, of course he had to give him face.
After going to court that day, Huo Tian was waiting outside the palace gate.
Cui Gongye and others came over, and Huo Tian said: "You guys don't mind, how about we go outside the city and eat some game?"
"It's all right, Mr. Huo," Mr. Cui said with a chuckle, "We only come with one mouth."
"We are in the suburbs and not far away," Huo Tian said, "I have a village there. You are tired of eating in major restaurants on weekdays, why not enjoy the rural scenery."
"Very good, very good." Mr. Zhang was fat, and his daughter looked exactly like him. "I have long wanted to go out for a stroll outside the city. Thanks to Mr. Huo and Mr. Cui, I can enjoy it as much as I can.
Great food and great views.”
Several others also followed suit.
Huo Tian took the lead and led these people out of the city.
When we arrived at the farm, someone had already come out to meet us.
This farm was originally considered an imperial farm and was given to Huo Tian by the Holy Emperor. It occupies a large area, has fertile land, and is equipped with ponds and fruit trees.
It is early summer, with thick shade from green trees and the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"My lords, I believe you are also a hunter on weekdays. You can take this opportunity to relax and rejuvenate your muscles and bones, and hunt some wild game to try. If you find it troublesome, you can also enjoy the shade under the trees while I go hunting." Huo Tian was particularly approachable today.
"Let's just forget it! With old arms and legs," Cui Gongye said, he was careful because he was afraid that Huo Tian would plot against him. "It's all Mr. Huo's fault."
Jiang Yinzhi said: "My leg injury is not healed yet, so I might as well spare it!"
Huo Tian didn't say much, and asked someone to come over and wait on a few guests while he went to hunt game on horseback.
These people drank tea and enjoyed the cool air while talking about the scenery of the farm.
The servants over there have already built a charcoal fire, set up a broiler, and are preparing to roast game.
"Although this roasted meat is beautiful, I am old and my teeth are not very good." Uncle Wu said, "Is there anything else?"
The servant quickly replied: "Yes, yes, there is also a soup pot for cooking pheasants."
With that said, the soup pot was also placed.
Huo Tian's archery skills were outstanding, and soon his entourage came back carrying several pheasants and rabbits.
Someone took it to the waterside to pluck it, skin it, and clean its internal organs.
"This game is so fresh!" Mr. Zhang was already a glutton. When he saw the fat and tender pheasant coming out of the pot, he couldn't help but said, "It would be better to serve it with some bamboo shoots."
The servant had already dug out the bamboo shoots, peeled them on the spot, cut them into thin slices, and waited for the pheasant to roll a few times before putting them in.
Then one servant went to bring the wine, and another went to get the charcoal, leaving only a boy and a half looking at the fire.
These few people talked to themselves about their experiences in the government and the public. Except for Jiang Yinzhi, they had been friends for many years, and even their children had been playing together since they were young.
However, Jiang Yinzhi's two daughters married really well. Although their official positions are still low at present, there is a high possibility that newcomers will take over in the future, and they do not dare to underestimate them.
"This place is a good place to cool off in the summer heat, and it's close to the city." Cui Gongye said.
"Your village is not bad, it is bigger than here." Uncle Chen said, "There are many exotic flowers and trees, which are more worthy of appreciation."
"Did you hear anything?" Jiang Yinzhi suddenly asked, "It sounded like screaming, but also like breathing."
"Where is it? Didn't you hear it? It must be the wind!" others said.
"No, no, no, indeed," Jiang Yinzhi, the youngest and the best-hearing, insisted, "Listen carefully."
Everyone was doubtful and didn't say anything.
There was indeed a sound of wind, but it was more than just a sound of wind.
The low roar in his throat was like rolling thunder.
"Is there...is there some kind of wild beast here?!" Uncle Wu said in fear.
"No way, this is a farm, not a mountain." Mr. Cui didn't believe it.
"What's over there?!" Uncle Chen was so frightened that he sat on the ground, "It looks like a big insect!"
Among the branches and leaves, a yellow-skinned tiger with black spots suddenly jumped out! Its head was bigger than a fence, it was fat and strong, its eyes were glowing, and it roared at a few people.
"Ouch!"
"Oh my god!"
"Grandpa Tian!"
Several dignitaries of the court were immediately frightened out of fear. They were very afraid of death. When they saw the tiger, they were scared out of their wits. They didn't care about their dignity and just wanted to save their lives.
Cui Gongye grabbed the fattest Zhang Houye and stood in front of him, thinking that the tiger would be full after eating one of him.
Mr. Zhang pulled Mr. Chen, who was in the worst health, over, thinking that he couldn't outrun him anyway, so he pushed him out to block him.
Uncle Wu suddenly became young and climbed up a tree. Jiang Yinzhi's legs were even more difficult to use, so he climbed with two hands.
The child watching the fire was startled and knocked over the soup pot in which the pheasant was cooked.
A pot of hot soup flew out and splashed on several people, causing big blisters immediately.
"Come here and block it!" Several people shouted angrily at their followers.
The followers were also afraid of death, but they had no choice but to bring sticks, stones and other objects to slowly get closer.
Who would have thought that the tiger would actually lie on the ground and roll around, then slowly get up and walk in the direction it came from.
"It scared me to death!" Everyone was covered in cold sweat, but they couldn't help but feel happy.
At this time Huo Tian also came back, immediately hitching a ride on a deer.
"What's going on?" Huo Tian couldn't help asking when he saw the mess and everyone looking lost.
"Mr. Huo, how come there are tigers in your village?!" Mr. Cui became so angry that he almost scared him to death just now.
"Tiger? Oh, that's the golden-haired animal that the Holy One fostered here. It's humane and is usually kept in a cage. I think it bit the lock and ran out." Huo Tian smiled, "It didn't hurt anyone.
?Don’t treat yourself like an animal.”
What can these people say? That is the tiger used by the Holy Emperor.
Although the suspicion was Huo Tian's intention, it was hard to say anything.
"Several adults are burned, please bring the burn medicine quickly." Huo Tian asked someone to get the medicine, "Let's rebuild this stove!"
When everything was done again and the game was served on the table, Huo Tian personally held the pot and served wine to several people, saying: "Today, Huo Mou is apologizing to a few people. I am a bitch who is so ignorant. I was in Meizhou the day before yesterday."
There were some disagreements between the family and the ladies from various houses, and they even got involved. I originally wanted her to come and apologize, but she was pregnant and almost had a miscarriage, so I had to let her rest. I had to step in to apologize.
Please also convey this to your family members after you return, saying please bear with me!"
Several people looked at each other in confusion, thinking that this was clearly the Hongmen Banquet! It was said to be an apology, but it was more like asking for guilt.
It is obvious that if your daughter messes with my wife, I will deal with you.
