The three of them arrived at the largest restaurant in the city. As they approached, they saw the signboard of "Drunken Immortal Tavern" fluttering in the sunlight.

After finding a quiet and secluded table upstairs, the waiter soon filled the table with good wine and dishes.

Fang Zinan personally poured wine for Xiao Tianyuan, "Brother Xiao, please!" The three of them raised their glasses and started drinking.

"I have something to ask you guys, why are you guys in the mood to come out and drink today?" Although it was a happy occasion, Shang Yiqing didn't know the reason behind it.

"Must we find a reason to drink?" Fang Zinan asked her.

Shang Yiqing shook her head. "That's not true …" It was at this moment that they heard a clamor coming from downstairs. Many people crowded into the restaurant and unconsciously looked down, and they actually saw King Xuan's figure. Shang Yiqing thought she was seeing things, rubbed her eyes and said curiously, "I think I saw King Xuan."

"Isn't King Xuan governing the river? Why would he appear here? You must be seeing things. " Although Xiao Tian Yuan said these words, he couldn't help but look down and see King Xuan's figure. Furthermore, King Xuan and the rest were also walking up the stairs, "Is that really King Xuan? The wangfei isn't mistaken. "

Fang Zinan couldn't help but look at him. King Xuan had already reached the stairs and couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his body, he was undoubtedly King Xuan.

King Xuan? Why would he appear here? Didn't he go to manage the river? Fang Zinan had some doubts, but he didn't ask about it. Instead, he calmly picked up his wine cup and indicated to the two of them: "Let's continue drinking."

"Didn't you see that it was King Xuan?" Shang Yiqing whispered, Fang Zinan had already brought the wine cup to her lips, "Didn't you say you were going to drink? Since you want to drink, then don't talk too much. "

"What do you mean?" Shang Yiqing did not like the way he spoke, but saw King Xuan sitting at a nearby table with a crowd around him. From the looks of it, King Xuan was a frequent guest here, even the waiter was particularly attentive towards him.

"Duke Xuan, what a grand show." Shang Yiqing thought about how low-key the three of them were at this hotel and felt a little annoyed. Besides, King Xuan was still on the street fighting against Zunnan. She had no good impression of him at all.

Xiao Tianyuan glanced at Shang Yiqing and pushed his wine glass towards her. "Drink your wine." He didn't know why King Xuan would appear here, but he wanted to get to the bottom of this. Since King Xuan hadn't seen them, all he had to do was pretend that he didn't know.

"This time, His Highness managed the river successfully. The emperor will definitely heavily reward Your Highness …" The man's voice was slightly ancient as he flattered.

"That's right, that's right. Your highness made a great contribution this time. The emperor must be very happy. I think that the title of crown prince must belong to you …" Another person said.

Their voices were extremely soft, but Fang Zinan's hearing was astonishing. He had deliberately listened to them, but he was actually able to hear them clearly.

At this moment, he heard King Xuan shout out in a low voice, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Yes, yes, yes, this official deserves to die, this official deserves to die …"

Because Fang Zinan's back was facing King Xuan and there was a large group of people, although the two people's voices sounded very familiar, and their voices were very soft, it was hard to tell who their voices belonged to.

Xiao Tianyuan, on the other hand, was quietly looking in the direction of King Xuan. He could clearly see that the two people who were speaking in front of King Xuan were Shi Bofei, the president of the office, and Hu Tianlang, the vice commander of the imperial guards.

"It's the Minister of Public Relations, Shi Bo Fei, and the Vice Commander of the imperial guards, Hu Tianlai." Xiao Tianyuan whispered to Fang Zinan.

Fang Zinan remained calm and only said in a soft voice, "Let's continue drinking."

After being scolded by King Xuan, Hu Tianlai's voice had clearly become much softer and one could still faintly hear his voice, "… During this period when the prince was not in the capital … "The Emperor invited divine doctor Wan Chun to come …"

Although Xiao Tian Yuan could hear the customers coming and going in the restaurant, and the noises of the customers, he could not hear it clearly. Just as he was about to listen carefully, he suddenly heard Shang Yi Qing shout: "What are you two doing? You clearly said that you wanted to drink, but why aren't you saying anything? "

No one had noticed the three of them sitting in the corner, but with Shang Yiqing's loud shout, the nearby attendants all looked in their direction. The people at King Xuan's table also noticed them and immediately noticed Fang Zinan and Xiao Tianyuan.

Fang Zinan let out a bitter laugh and exchanged looks with Xiao Tianyuan. The two of them felt that bringing Shang Guiqing out would be a very unwise thing to do. If she were to shout this, King Xuan would definitely find out and they would inevitably have to negotiate with him.

Sure enough, King Xuan's table of people had discovered Fang Zinan and informed him. King Xuan stood up and walked over. Walking up to the table, he smiled at Fang Zinan, "So Fourth Brother and Great General Xiao are here as well."

Fang Zinan had no choice but to raise his head in feigned surprise: "Third brother, why is it you?"

"This King has just returned from managing the river from the South River. The lords are treating This King to a meal. I didn't expect Fourth Brother to be here as well." As King Xuan spoke carelessly, his demeanor was extraordinary and he had a proud expression on his face.

Fang Zinan smiled, "Then I must congratulate Third Brother. With Third Brother's intelligence, if the Emperor were to send you this time, it would definitely be a success."

"Fourth Brother really knows This King." King Xuan laughed heartily and then glanced at Xiao Tianyuan. "Great General Xiao, in the future, our relationship may need to improve even further. This time, when we came back to manage the river, the emperor once agreed to this duke's request …"

His words were coldly interrupted by Xiao Tianyuan, "Your highness is too courteous. I am just a martial general, how can I afford it? Your highness, please reconsider."

"Hey, General Xiao, why do you need to say that? You will soon be a family!" As he spoke, he placed his hand on Xiao Tianyuan's shoulder.

Xiao Tianyuan's stone-cold face had a layer of anger to it. He said stiffly, "This humble servant is not related to your highness in any way. Your grandpa's words are really incomprehensible to others."

"Haha …" King Xuan laughed exaggeratedly. "General doesn't understand it now, but he will understand it soon enough."

Xiao Tianyuan obviously knew what he was talking about. He had been brooding over this matter in his heart, and now that he heard King Xuan say this, his heart was unable to calm down. He suppressed the anger in his heart, sneered, and ignored him.

Seeing this, Fang Zinan quickly got out of the predicament, "Third brother, since you managed the river successfully, it's a great deed. Fourth brother offers a toast to you." As he spoke, he raised his wine cup.

King Xuan smiled proudly again and took the wine from Fang Zinan. "It's not possible for fourth brother to care so much about me. I must drink this wine."
