"Xiao Lei, you just arrived too?"

Lin Hao was slightly surprised to see Raymond coming towards him.

"I've been here for quite a while."

Raymond grinned, "But the red wine in the banquet is not to my taste, so I just went to buy a few bottles of white wine."

After saying that, he took out an extra-large bottle of white wine from his storage ring.

Judging from the alcohol concentration label, it is obviously very strong.

"Oh, I see."

Lin Hao didn't think much about this.

He knew that Raymond always liked to drink stronger liquor. Since there was none at the banquet, it was reasonable for him to go out and buy some by himself.

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

Lei Menghan greeted with a smile, then walked into the gate first.

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

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

"Xiao Lei is only a level 5 warrior now, it should be impossible for him to intimidate those people."

As his mind changed, Lin Hao shook his head secretly, denying the idea that suddenly popped up.

After all, with Raymond's current strength, he can no longer compete with that sissy man in black.

What's more, there was also a level six fighter and dozens of level five fighters present at the time.

Unless, of course, Raymond is a martial arts master with hidden strength.

But this possibility is extremely low, because in the recruitment assessment at that time, under the detection of the test stele, Raymond's earth-level talent and strength and cultivation displayed were difficult to fake.

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

Thinking of this, Lin Hao took a deep breath and suppressed all his chaotic thoughts.

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

Inside the hall, the so-called banquet was not as large and lively as the one held by the eldest prince.

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

And several beautiful ladies, all of them are students of Tianyan Academy.

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

At this moment, he was staring at the table full of delicious food, as if he had waited too long and was already very hungry.

“Lin Hao, you always come here.”

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

"Lin Hao, I'm glad you can come and join us at this party."

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

Although it was a bit late, Lin Hao was undoubtedly very happy that he could attend the banquet.

At least, Lin Hao did not really choose a side and was won over by the eldest prince.

"I usually do what I promise."

Lin Hao said with a smile, without telling him what had just happened outside the city.

"I just heard the news that Ma Shuoliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was assassinated 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 kings, princes, generals and ministers were quite well-informed and had obtained first-hand information so quickly.

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

Lin Hao shook his head and smiled faintly.

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

Qin Yu saw that Lin Hao was fine, so he laughed and said, "This drunkard is not interested in the high-end red wine I prepared. He really deserves a beating."

Beside him, Lei Meng smiled 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 too much, can we start now?"

Gu Yunle stood up and urged with a pout.

Since Lin Hao had not arrived yet, no one had started eating, so he had no choice but to hold it in.

Now my stomach is so empty that I can even fart.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting. 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 possible!”

However, at this moment, Qin Yu suddenly said: "It is the end of the winter sun season now, we should all toast together."

"good."

"Let's do it together."

His proposal was undoubtedly recognized by Yan Chen, Raymond and others.

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

"Forget it, I don't know how to drink, so I'll just use chicken instead of wine."

Gu Yunle chuckled, then picked up a roasted chicken leg on the table and bit into it without caring about his image.

The way he ate so voraciously seemed as if he had been hungry for a long time.

"Ha ha……"

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

Immediately, everyone raised their hands to clink their glasses, and then drank it all in one gulp.

As the strong liquor entered his stomach, Lin Hao suddenly felt his body quickly warm up and feel comfortable.

Although, this banquet was not as lively as the one held by the eldest prince.

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 us his skills again."

Yan Xinyue suddenly suggested with a smile.

Because of drinking, her fair and smooth face now had a blush on it, making her look extremely beautiful and charming.

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

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

However, there was no rebuke in his words for his sister's doting, and there was always a hint of smile on his face.

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

At this time, Qin Yu was cheering from the side.

Hearing this, Yan Xinyue's face suddenly became redder.

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

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

"I'm telling the truth, I'm not kidding."

Qin Yu spread his hands and said jokingly, "I remember yesterday, you seemed to have hinted to me that you should ask Lin Hao to make some more barbecue to try."

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, "Barbecue is fine, but you have to be my assistant and help me."

"Okay, no problem."

As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, Yan Xinyue nodded happily without even thinking about it.

There was 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 the fifth sister and Lin Hao had developed to such a familiar level.

Afterwards, the banquet venue was moved to the yard outside.

The yard is quite spacious and has a small pond where some green carps are raised.

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

Lin Hao set up the barbecue grill with ease.

Next to him, Yan Xinyue also rolled up her sleeves without any hesitation and helped Lin Hao add charcoal to start the fire.

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

One for cleaning and one for grilling.

The two of them cooperated very well.

Just like this, the yard in the night.

The fragrant smell and the sounds of laughter are filled with the youth of these young people...
