"Xiao Lei, you just arrived too?"

Lin Hao was slightly surprised when he saw Raymond coming towards him.

"I've been here for a while."

Raymond grinned, "But the red wine at the banquet didn't suit my taste. I just bought a few bottles of white wine."

After saying this, I saw him take out an extra large bottle of white wine from the storage ring.

Looking at the alcohol concentration label, it is obviously extremely potent.

"Oh I got it."

Lin Hao didn't think much about this.

He knew that Raymond always liked to drink strong liquor, so since there was none at the banquet, it was reasonable for him to go out and buy it alone.

"Brother Hao, everyone is waiting for you, let's go in together."

Raymond smiled and said hello, then walked into the door first.

Looking at Raymond's tall back and the Cloud-Piercing Bow tied behind his back, Lin Hao's heart suddenly moved slightly.

He suddenly remembered the mysterious man who was shooting arrows in the bamboo forest outside the city.

"Xiao Lei only has the cultivation level of a fifth-level warrior now, so it should be impossible to scare those people."

Suddenly, Lin Hao shook his head secretly and rejected the sudden idea.

After all, with Raymond's current strength, that sissy man in black alone is no longer able to compete.

What's more, there was a sixth-level warrior and dozens of fifth-level warriors present at the time.

Of course, unless Raymond is a martial arts master who hides his strength.

However, this possibility is extremely low, because in the recruitment assessment at that time, under the test of the test stone tablet, it was difficult to fake Raymond's earth-level talent and strength.

Therefore, Lin Hao felt that the mysterious archer in the bamboo forest must be someone else.

Thinking of this, Lin Hao took a deep breath and suppressed all the messy thoughts.

Then they followed Raymond's footsteps and walked into Juyuan Pavilion together.

In the hall, the so-called banquet was not as crowded and lively as the eldest prince's place.

The only members present were Qin Yu, Yan Chen, Yan Xinyue, and Raymond's girlfriend Yan Hong.

As well as several beauties, they are all students of Tianyan Academy.

What surprised Lin Hao was that Gu Yunle was also invited.

At this time, he was staring directly at the table of delicious food, as if he had been waiting for too long and was already hungry.

"Lin Hao, you are finally here."

Seeing Lin Hao coming back with Raymond, Qin Yu immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and then reached out and hooked Lin Hao's shoulder.

"Lin Hao, I'm glad you can come and participate in this gathering."

Yan Chen also walked over with a smile on his face.

Although the time was relatively late, Lin Hao was undoubtedly in a very happy mood now that he could attend the banquet.

At least, Lin Hao didn't really choose to take sides and was won over by the eldest prince.

"I usually do what I promise."

Lin Hao said with a smile, without telling him what happened outside Chengxiao just now.

"I heard the news just now. It is said that Ma Shuoliang, the minister of household affairs, was assassinated by an assassin in the palace. Lin Hao, are you okay?"

Qin Yu looked at Lin Hao and asked with concern.

Hearing this, Lin Hao was a little surprised. It seemed that these princes, generals and ministers were quite well-informed, and they had mastered the first-hand information so quickly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lin Hao shook his head and smiled lightly.

"That's good. Raymond went out to buy wine just now, and I plan to follow him to the palace to find you."

When Qin Yu saw that Lin Hao was fine, he laughed and said, "This drunkard is not interested in the high-end red wine I prepared. What a shame."

Next to him, Raymond smiled naively and picked up the bottle of white wine in his hand, grinning and saying: "I have no choice but to drink this."

"You guys talk a lot, can we start now?"

Gu Yunle stood up, curled his lips and urged.

Since Lin Hao had not arrived before and no one moved their chopsticks, he had no choice but to endure it.

Now my stomach is so empty that I can fart.

"I've kept you waiting for so long. I'll punish myself with a drink first."

Lin Hao smiled apologetically, then took the bottle of white wine from Raymond's hand and poured himself a glass.

"How can this be done!"

However, at this time, Qin Yu suddenly said: "It's the end of the winter sun season now, it's time for us all to toast together."

"good."

"Let's do it together."

His proposal was undoubtedly recognized by Yanchen, Lei Meng and others.

At that moment, everyone picked up their wine glasses and filled them with either red wine or white wine according to their preference.

"Forget it, I don't know how to drink, so I'll replace the bar with chicken."

Gu Yunle chuckled, then picked up a roasted chicken leg on the table and took a big bite regardless of the image.

He was devouring his food as if he had been hungry for a long time.

"Ha ha……"

For a time, the atmosphere in the hall became lively and laughter continued.

Immediately, everyone raised their hands to clink glasses, and all drank up their heads.

After the strong wine entered his stomach, Lin Hao suddenly felt his body warm up quickly and felt comfortable.

Although, this banquet is not as lively as the First Prince's.

But most of the people present were acquaintances, and they could talk and laugh without any scruples. This atmosphere made Lin Hao feel very comfortable and warm.

"Lin Hao's barbecue skills are great, why not ask him to show off his skills again."

Yan Xinyue suddenly suggested with a smile.

Due to drinking, a blush appeared on her fair and smooth face, making her look extremely beautiful and charming.

"Fifth sister, Lin Hao is a guest, how can you let him cook and barbecue?"

Yan Chen shook his head, feeling that this would be a bit rude.

However, there was no rebuke in his words for his sister's pampering, and there was always a smile on his lips.

"Chen, you don't know that our fifth sister's stomach was captured by Lin Hao's barbecue and fish last time."

But at this time, Qin Yu was shouting from the side.

Hearing these words, Yan Xinyue's face suddenly turned redder.

"Damn Qin Yu, you are making fun of me again."

She stared at Qin Yu with her big eyes and said coquettishly.

"I told the truth, not kidding."

Qin Yu spread his hands and said jokingly: "I remember yesterday, you seemed to have hinted to me that Lin Hao would get some barbecue to try some time."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xinyue's face became even more blushing, like a stunning flower that had been moisturized, looking delicate and charming.

Seeing Qin Yu teasing his cousin like this, Lin Hao couldn't help but smile and said to the rescue: "Barbecue is no problem, but you must be my assistant to help."

"no problem."

As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, Yan Xinyue didn't even think about it and immediately nodded happily.

There is absolutely no intention of rejecting the princess because of her noble status.

Seeing this scene, Yan Chen was slightly surprised.

Obviously, he did not expect that the relationship between Fifth Sister and Lin Hao would develop to such a familiar level.

Then, the venue for everyone's banquet was moved to the courtyard outside.

The yard is very spacious, and there is also a small pond in which some green fish are bred.

Although it was already late at night, the full moon was hanging high in the sky, and the pale moonlight enveloped the entire courtyard. Together with the elegant surroundings, it was very poetic.

Lin Hao set up the barbecue grill with ease.

Next to him, Yan Xinyue was not sloppy at all. He rolled up his sleeves and helped Lin Hao add charcoal to start the fire.

This time, Lin Hao also used local materials and caught several green fish from the pond.

One for cleaning and one for grilling.

The cooperation between the two is very tacit.

Just like this, the courtyard in the night.
Chapter completed!
