Capture

Well, it is absolutely impossible to refuse, don't you have to meet the other person's eyes.

Glancing secretly at the fake Di Wang, the other party seemed not expecting that Gong Xihua would do this suddenly. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he could only follow the other party's posture to get up and take a glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Brother, you've worked hard all the way." Gong Xihua handed the wine to Bei Mingyao in the blink of an eye.Looking at the clear wine in the glass, Linshui's heart suddenly trembled for some reason.

The instinct of the body is faster than the mind.When Linshui stopped the glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, he realized how abrupt and presumptuous his behavior was.

"Bold!" The guard beside Gong Xihua glared at him, and was about to draw his sword, but Gong Xihua held it down.

"Third prince, please calm down. My eldest brother has a medical problem and cannot drink alcohol. This... villain was impatient for a while, so he got offended..." Lin Shui knelt down on one knee as he spoke, but did not say another word.

Gong Xihua narrowed her eyes, and flashed a smile: "Hey, it's my hall who was abrupt, and I didn't expect it well. Seeing that this little brother is willing to stand up for his elder brother, he must be a person with courage and loyalty. This hall always values Such a talented person, how can he be in trouble." Gong Xihua said, and stretched out his hands, holding Linshui's shoulders and slowly helped him up.

"King Di is really envious of this hall to have such guards serving him." While saying this, his eyes were fixed on Linshui's expression and he refused to take his eyes off him.

"Where is it, he was just transferred here today, so some rules are not yet familiar. The young man is full of blood and impulsiveness. Fortunately, His Highness is extraordinary, so that he will not be guilty." After Di Wang finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed, He scolded: "I haven't thanked the Third Highness yet."

In Linshui's heart, there were 1 unwilling people, but due to the reality, he could only obey Gong Xihua with both fists: "Thank you, Third Highness."

Gong Xihua smiled without saying a word, but patted Linshui's shoulder, then took the wine from the eunuch's tray beside her, and handed it to Linshui: "This glass is for you."

Linshui took the wine glass, but stared at Gong Xihua in a daze for a moment.It was only because he saw Gong Xihua's mouth opening and closing at the moment of handing over the wine, and understood the meaning hidden in those silent words.

Brothel, a good night.

Gong Xihua didn't make things difficult for the man in front of her anymore.In fact, the biggest reward tonight is to be able to see the person I once enjoyed in this boring and similar banquet.

After searching for so long, I didn't expect that the other party was someone beside Bei Mingyao.Interesting, really interesting.

Returning to his seat, looking at Linshui's next move, the slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.

However, compared to Gong Xihua's good mood, Linshui was much more depressed.To be precise, it is not depression, but a mixed feeling that is close to anger and heartache.

How could it be him?Why...if it's him...

Lin Shui didn't know how he drank the second glass of wine, and he didn't know how he stood there showing a gaffe.I don't even know how Bei Mingyao, who is beside me, will think of himself who has lost his composure.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Gong Xihua standing upright again, talking eloquently above the main hall, and many people on both sides of the underground palace and Beiling showed deep thought.Even Bei Mingyao beside him was immersed and listened carefully.

Gong Xihua is such a man.A capable person who can stand at the pinnacle of power and look at the world.Those self-confidence, strength, sharpness, and scheming have made him so different.

Lin Shui didn't know his past, but from those few contacts, he could understand the ambition and desire in his heart.And it is undeniable that such talents he has shown are truly convincing.

He shouldn't be an unknown person; he was destined to stand on one side as a hero in the world.And this kind of him is the one who really can't go the same way...

He affirmed the man in front of him in his heart, and at the same time reminded himself to stay away.Facing Gong Xihua like this, what Linshui saw was another familiar figure from the past.

Once upon a time, he showed his sharpness for the sake of family inheritance; once upon a time, he repeatedly insisted because of his own strength.In the end, in exchange for an irreparable relationship, and a gesture of complete defeat.

Linshui, how can you forget that familiar figure?That previous self!

So knowing Gong Xihua, understanding Gong Xihua, and... pity Gong Xihua.Don't hate, not because you can't hate or dare not hate, but because you understand, because of the emotion that you have also experienced.

Naturally showing a silent sigh, Lin Shui looked away, but unexpectedly met another pair of interested eyes.

It's Bei Mingyao!

The sarcasm that flashed in his eyes made Lin Shui feel bad in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.Before she had time to think about it, Gong Xihua suddenly pointed at herself.

"It is said that King Di of Beiling is surrounded by a cloud of masters. Those who follow behind the prince today must have extraordinary martial arts. Now that the negotiations between Beiling and the underground palace have come to an end, I think everyone is tired of watching this song and dance. Why don't you let me be behind you?" How about this and the little brother behind Di Wang to learn martial arts, so that we can broaden our horizons?"

"Your Highness's proposal is very good. I think the martial arts tradition of our underground palace country has been established since the founding of the country. The great events of the country are promoted, and the congratulations of martial arts are also an indispensable part of it. Today, the emperor wanted to be concerned about the customs of the Beiling mission group. , so this item was canceled, and now that the major event has been established, it is gratifying to congratulate. I don’t know King Di..." Ji Fan who was on the side said this, and turned his attention to King Di.

King Di pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Highness said so, this king is no different. Yi Feng, you can compete with the masters of the underground palace."

Linshui cupped his fists to accept the order, walked to the center of the hall, and bowed to the king of the underground palace and Gong Xihua.Although there are many reluctances in my heart, I can no longer allow myself to retreat.

"Hehe, King Di is so righteous, Ji Qing can't afford to humiliate this competition. I think we'll let..."

"Your Highness, please allow me to compete with this brother from Beiling."

These words came suddenly from outside the hall.As soon as the voice came out, everyone in the hall cast their gazes unanimously.And looking at it, these people can't help but have different expressions on their faces.

But Linshui was completely confused by the sudden intervention.

Shen Yanfeng, why is it you who suddenly appeared at this moment!

No.40 Four Palace Banquets ([-])

The clenched hand on the side tightened and then loosened, and the breath was resumed after holding the breath, which relieved the pain in the lungs.Let your eyes be pulled away from the other person forcefully, and you are not allowed to show the slightest extra emotion.

However, how can the inner turmoil be calmed down, how can it be calmed down when facing the man in front of him today after more than a year.

Sure enough, for Shen Yanfeng, what he needed was the answer he got personally.No matter how much I heard in the tent before, no matter how much others said, I still couldn't give up.

"Oh? Since General Shen is interested in this, the hall will not stop him. Being able to see the skills of the number one general in the Underground Palace Kingdom must be worthy of everyone in Beiling who came from afar. What do you think, Father?"

Gong Xihua entrusted the final decision to the emperor on the throne, but her eyes met Shen Yanfeng's, and then the corners of her mouth curled slightly.

"That's very good, the two sides will go to the end. I think General Shen is indeed the best candidate, and he knows how to measure."

Even the emperor said so, it seems that this competition is inevitable.Lin Shui closed his eyes and opened them again, the hesitation in his eyes was gone. "General Shen, please." Linshui made a slight bow to Shen Yanfeng, and then stood quietly in the hall.

"Please." Shen Yanfeng returned the salute, narrowed his eyes suddenly, and rushed forward, not giving Linshui a chance to breathe.

Never thought that they would meet again in this way, Lin Shui pondered in his heart, not daring to be careless.The figures intertwined, Linshui wanted to quickly distance himself after evading a move, but unexpectedly, the opponent seemed to have seen through his intentions and stuck close to him, refusing to give in.Ling Linshui didn't have a moment to rest.

"Hmm..." He pursed his lips tightly, and once again met Shen Yanfeng's eyes, the pain in his heart seemed to be more obvious.He didn't show mercy at all; was he really the gentle person he knew?

The two people in the field finally faced off against each other in separate courts after a fight.Among the seats watching the battle, everyone also showed different expressions.

"Hmph." Gong Xihua looked at Linshui, his eyes lingering on the wide sleeves for a few seconds.The answer I want seems to be very clear.It's a pity that Shen Yanfeng couldn't figure out this secret.

The two people who were facing each other got closer again, fist and palm alternately, and the strong wind became stronger.Suddenly, Shen Yanfeng clasped Linshui's sleeve with his backhand, Linshui's heart tightened, trying to break free, a piece of sleeve was torn off with a "hiss".

"That's it." Emperor Huai on the throne issued an order, and Linshui came back behind King Di in a dodge, and naturally dropped his hands to his sides, blocking the sight of prying eyes with King Di's figure.

However, even so, he knew that Shen Yanfeng had seen it.He was sure that the other party saw it - the consonance bracelet on his hand.So what if he just saw it, he may not be able to guess... No, he must not be able to guess that he is Linshui!And this kind of cognition made Linshui feel sad and unwilling.

Shen Yanfeng silently returned to the banquet seat that he had prepared for him earlier, he had visited the palace for the banquet before, and wanted to use this to escape this boring palace banquet, but unexpectedly the third prince ordered him here.

Now, I understood the intention of His Highness the Third Highness.Why is the bracelet on the young man's wrist so similar to the black leopard from the previous hunting ground?

If that black panther is really Linshui... then who is this boy?Could it be that the year Linshui left was with this young man?
