"Little Lei, you just arrived too?"
Seeing Lei Meng walking head-on, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.
"I've been here for quite a while."
Lei Meng grinned, "But the red sprinkles in the banquet weren't to my taste, so I purposely went to buy a few bottles of white wine just now."
After saying that, he was seen taking out an extra large bottle of white wine from his storage ring.
Looking at the labeling of its alcohol concentration, it was obvious that it was extremely potent.
"Oh, so that's how it is."
At this, Lin Hao didn't think much about it.
He knew that Lei Meng had always been fond of strong white wine, and since there wasn't any in the banquet, it was reasonable for him to purchase it outside alone.
"Brother Hao, everyone is waiting for you, let's go in together."
Lei Meng greeted with a simple smile, then took the lead to walk through the door.
Looking at Lei Meng's tall back, as well as the cloud-piercing bow strapped to his back, Lin Hao's heart suddenly stirred slightly.
He immediately remembered the mysterious person who shot arrows in the bamboo forest outside the city effect just now.
"Little Thunder only has the cultivation of a fifth level warrior right now, it shouldn't be possible to deter those people."
As his mind turned, Lin Hao secretly shook his head, dismissing the idea that suddenly popped up.
After all, with Lei Meng's current strength, that sissy black-clothed man alone would have been too much to fight against.
Not to mention that there was also a rank six warrior, as well as dozens of rank five warriors present at that time.
Of course, unless Lei Meng was a martial arts expert who was hiding his strength.
But this possibility was extremely low, because at that time's recruitment test, under the detection of the testing stone tablet, it was difficult to fake Lei Meng's displayed earth rank talent, as well as his strength cultivation.
Therefore, Lin Hao felt that the mysterious archer within the bamboo forest should be someone else.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao took a deep breath and pushed down all the cluttered thoughts.
Then he followed Lei Meng's steps and walked into the Gathering Court together.
Inside the hall, the so-called banquet wasn't like the big prince's side where the number of people was huge and lively.
The only members present were Qin Yu, Yan Chen, Yan Xin Yue, and Lei Meng's girlfriend Yan Hong.
As well as several beautiful women, all of them were students of the Heavenly Diffusion Academy.
And what made Lin Hao feel surprised was that that brat Gu Yunle was also invited over.
At this moment, he, staring straight at the table of food, seemed to have waited for too long and had long been hungry.
"Lin Hao, you always come over."
Seeing Lin Hao following Lei Meng back, Qin Yu immediately greeted him with a big smile, then reached out and hooked a hand on Lin Hao's shoulder.
"Lin Hao, for this gathering, I'm glad you could come over to participate."
Yan Chen also walked over, a smile on his face.
Although it was a bit late, for Lin Hao to be able to go to the banquet, his current mood was undoubtedly very refreshing.
At least, Lin Hao didn't really choose to take sides and be pulled in by the Grand Prince's side.
"I usually do what I promise."
Lin Hao said with a smile, not informing him of what had just happened outside the city effect.
"Just now, I heard the news that Ma Shuo Liang, the minister of the household department, was rumored to have been assassinated by an assassin in the king's mansion, are you alright, Lin Hao?"
Qin Yu gazed at Lin Hao and asked with concern.
Hearing this, Lin Hao was a little surprised in his heart, it seemed that these people of the king's mansion were quite well-informed, and had already grasped the first-hand news so soon.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Hao shook his head and smiled lightly.
"That's good, just now, Lei Meng went out to buy wine, and I was planning to follow him to go forward to the king's mansion to look for you."
Seeing that Lin Hao was fine, Qin Yu laughed and said, "This drunkard, he's not even interested in the high-class red wine I prepared, he really owes it to me."
Next to him, Lei Meng laughed nervously and lifted the bottle of white wine he was holding, grinning, "There's no way, I just have to have this."
"You guys talk a lot, can we start?"
Gu Yunle stood up, skimming his lips and urging.
Since Lin Hao hadn't arrived earlier, everyone hadn't moved their chopsticks, so he had to hold back all this time.
Now that stomach, it had long been so empty that it could fart.
"I've kept you all waiting, I'll punish myself first."
Lin Hao smiled apologetically, then took the bottle of white wine in Lei Meng's hand and poured himself a glass.
"How can this be!"
However, at this time, Qin Yu was suddenly saying, "At this time, we have already entered the end of the winter sun season, it should be a toast for all of us."
"Good."
"Cheers together."
His proposal was undoubtedly recognized by Yan Chen and Lei Meng and the others.
At that moment, everyone picked up their wine cups and each served red wine, or white wine, depending on their preference.
"Forget it, I don't know how to drink, so I'll substitute chicken for wine."
Gu Yunle hemmed and hawed, then pinched up a roasted chicken leg on the table and bit into it without any concern for image.
That devouring appearance was as if he had been starved for a long time.
"Haha ..."
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall became lively as a result, with constant laughter.
Immediately, all of them raised their hands and clinked their glasses, all of them tilting their heads back and drinking it all.
As the strong wine entered his stomach, Lin Hao immediately felt his body quickly warming up and a burst of relief.
Although, this banquet was not as lively as the Grand Prince's side.
However, the vast majority of the people present were people who knew each other, and they could talk and laugh without any fear, and this kind of atmosphere made Lin Hao feel very comfortable and cozy.
"Lin Hao's barbecuing skills are great, why don't we ask him to show his hands again."
Yan Xinyue suddenly proposed with a smile.
Due to the drinking, her fair and smooth face at this moment, a touch of redness appeared, looking incomparably beautiful and charming.
"Fifth sister, Lin Hao is a guest, how can we let him cook and roast meat."
Yan Chen shook his head, feeling that this was a bit rude.
However, for his sister's pampering, there wasn't the slightest bit of rebuke in his words, and the corners of his mouth always carried a hint of a smile.
"Chen, you don't know that our fifth sister's stomach was already captured by Lin Hao's grilled meat and fish last time."
At this time, Qin Yu was coaxing from the side.
Hearing this, Yan Xingyue's face, immediately became more and more red.
"Stinky Qin Yu, you're making fun of me again."
Her pair of big eyes glared at Qin Yu as she pouted.
"I'm telling the truth, I'm not joking."
Qin Yu spread his hands and teased, "I remember yesterday, you seemed to have hinted at me, asking Lin Hao to get some more barbecued meat to try sometime."
The moment these words came out, Yan Xingyue's face had become even more blushing, just like a stunning flower that had been moisturized, looking delicate and charming.
Seeing Qin Yu teasing his cousin like this, Lin Hao also couldn't help but smile and relieved himself, "Roasting meat is no problem, but you have to be my assistant to help out at the side."
"Okay, no problem."
Lin Hao's words had just fallen, but Yan Xingyue didn't even think about it and immediately nodded her head joyfully.
There wasn't the slightest bit of rejection at all because of the honorable status of a princess.
Seeing this scene, Yan Chen was slightly surprised.
Obviously, he also didn't think that the relationship between the fifth sister and Lin Hao had developed to such a familiar point.
And then, the location of the crowd's banquet was moved to the courtyard outside.
The area of the courtyard was very wide, and there was also a small pond, in which some green spirit fish were cultured.
Although it was already late at night, the full moon was hanging high, and the pale white moonlight covered the whole courtyard, matching the elegant environment around, which was extremely poetic.
Lin Hao lightly set up a barbecue.
Next to him, Yan Xinyue also didn't drag her feet, rolling up her sleeves and helping Lin Hao add charcoal to start the fire.
For the materials this time, Lin Hao also used local materials, catching a few green spirit fish from the pond.
One cleaned, one grilled.
The duo's cooperation was very tacit.
Just like this, the courtyard at night.
The pungent fragrance, the sound of laughing and laughing, overflowing with the youthful years of this group of young people ...
