Chapter 64 The Way of a Warrior (Second Update)
Hongfu family banquet, the banquet has been prepared.
Except for some foods that have a restricted best viewing period and are still being kept warm, the rest of the various wines, dishes, pastries, and fruits have been placed on the table, waiting for the last person to come to the table.
Surrounded by 28-year-old maids, all of them are wearing gorgeous dresses and holding trays. They have perfect etiquette smiles on their faces and are ready to fulfill any request of the guests.
These are all maids carefully trained within the royal family and come from different sources.
But thanks to the countless casualties and countless casualties in successive years, it was not difficult to collect them. Now they have fully assumed most of the tasks in the palace.
In fact, if there was no need to consider the impact a little bit, eunuchs would still be used in many places.
Xia Ji, the president of the Wushu Association, sat on the left, and the third prince's envoy sat on the right, leaving an empty chair waiting for Liu Wu's arrival.
The third prince's special envoy was a young man with a pale face and a beardless face, a body as thin as a bamboo pole, and a pair of narrow, deep eyes that showed no emotion.
He held a teacup in one hand and a teapot in the other, swaying the fragrant tea in the teacup. His eyes sometimes looked into the distance, as if thinking about something, but sometimes they fell on the table and looked at the things on the table.
Platter.
This young man is wearing a dark purple brocade robe, with gold thread on the skirt and cuffs, and auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on the cuffs with silver thread. The material is high-quality silk, the material is smooth and delicate, feels like satin, has a delicate luster and an elegant texture.
This is a fine product handmade by masters inherited from the palace. The workmanship is exquisite and every detail is perfect.
This kind of thing will basically not circulate in the market.
This is not to say how precious it is, but it is a symbol, a symbol of a person related to the royal family.
His name is Lin Qingshan, the most outstanding disciple of the third prince Li Yuanfang's mother's family, and also the third prince's most trusted friend. He is quite talented in the field of martial arts.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Qingshan picked up another piece of snack, but he didn't eat it and looked into the distance with his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
These are separate platters. Because Liu Wu arrived earlier than expected, President Xia Ji served the extra platter first, similar to the melons, fruits and peanuts served at the banquet.
But it was said that he wanted to cushion his stomach first, but although Lin Qingshan picked it up, he did not drink a sip of wine or eat a piece of snacks. He only occasionally took snacks and tasted tea. Xia Ji just looked at him with a smile and did not do anything either.
.
"President Xia, why don't you think that Master Liu hasn't come yet? Could it be that something happened temporarily and he was delayed?"
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, half an hour after the agreed time, Lin Qingshan asked Xia Ji.
Xia Ji heard the words and said with a smile: "Maybe something happened on the way? After all, the warriors of Hell Gate have been troublemakers since their debut! However, since he agreed to attend this family banquet, he will naturally abide by the agreement."
Although his voice was calm, his tone was very firm, as if he was telling everyone that Liu Wu would never break the appointment - as if he could make the decision on Liu Wu's behalf.
"President Xia, I heard that you have a close relationship with Master Liu?"
Looking at Xia Ji's firm expression, after a while, Lin Qingshan suddenly put down the snack in his hand, with an unknown smile on his lips and a faint voice.
Xia Ji was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and after a while he replied: "It doesn't really matter, but after all, the previous Hell Sect Master stayed here for twenty years and he also grew up here, so it's a little bit...
We understand him, we have talked to him several times, and we have made several transactions - speaking of it, I was the one who activated his qi and blood in the first place."
"Is that so? It seems that the injury sustained when he challenged the President was serious enough. He has not recovered well after so many years. Even simple things like activating Qi and blood require others to intervene." Lin Qingshan spoke leisurely.
"But even so, even if the previous generation sect leader was seriously injured and unable to pass on the inheritance, the Hell Gate can actually allow a warrior who has just reached Ming Jin through Qi and blood activation to directly transform his energy within half a year without any future problems." Lin Qingshan said calmly.
He said, "It is indeed a single lineage. It has spanned the world for five thousand years and made countless enemies, but it has never ceased to exist. It really has a profound foundation."
Perhaps it was a matter of tone of voice, but Xia Ji could feel the thorniness in Lin Qingshan's words. He frowned slightly and thought rapidly in his mind about how to respond.
Originally, the special envoy who received the news from Xia Ji through channels should be another person who is easily irritable with unofficial people, but it is obvious that this is false news.
At the same time, Liu Wu, who had promised to come on time a few days ago, also disappeared without a trace. This made Xia Ji a little confused for a moment. The original plan was completely broken, and he could only resort to tricks.
.
"What Young Master Lin said is a little wrong." After a while, Xia Ji finally said, "Although Hell Gate requires warriors from all over the world to fight with all their strength in every generation, and occasionally mistakes will occur, but if you really say
There are as many enemies as there are at the Gate of Hell, but there are very few of them."
"Oh, what's the point?" Lin Qingshan asked with interest, "Is it possible for a warrior to let go of the hatred of life and death and the hatred of maiming?"
"Of course. Warriors are licking blood with their swords, stealing heavenly secrets, and are madmen who want to transcend their natural limitations. Various secret martial arts have been improved from generation to generation and are terrifyingly powerful. Even though the warriors who are above Huajin have strong vitality, in the exchange of ideas
Mistakes are inevitable, and although the challenge of Hell Gate can easily lead to serious injuries, it is actually within the allowable range of the rules."
"Furthermore, each generation of Hell Gate sect masters basically died either challenging the world or challenging the President of the Martial Arts Association. They almost never ended up well. They can be regarded as practicing their own path with their own lives, so as a martial artist,
From a perspective, not only do they not have too many enemies, but many people admire them and admire their willingness to practice the path of pursuing the limits and exceeding the limits with their lives, generation after generation."
Xia Ji slowly explained. After a while, after confirming that Lin Qingshan understood what he said, he added the last sentence: "When Mr. Lin said this, he obviously still doesn't know enough about warriors."
"This is the first time I have heard what President Xia said. No wonder the Gate of Hell has remained standing for many years." Lin Qingshan clapped his hands with an expression of sudden realization. He stood up and walked to Xia Ji to pour him tea, and then said
, "However, I just don't know if Clan Master Liu knows that Chairman Xia considers himself his elder in his words and wants to make decisions on his behalf?"
"... Mr. Lin is talking too much." Xia Ji, who was about to take the tea, had a cold look in his eyes, "I only said that I have some friendship with Brother Liu Wu, but I dare not make any decisions for him, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am now.
It’s time for a banquet.”
"Really?" Lin Qingshan was noncommittal. After pouring the tea, he returned to his original position and poured tea for himself.
For a moment, the entire banquet became cold, with only a slight sound of breathing and the sound of tea being poured into tea cups, until there was a sudden knock on the door.
The voice of the lobby manager of the Hongfu family banquet came from outside the door: "The head of the Liu Wu Sect just called and said that he would not be coming to the banquet. He invited the two of you to the Five Elements Fist Sect to watch him perform in half an hour.
In a competition, a warrior should give the answer in a warrior's way."
"What?" Xia Ji stood up suddenly, even the teacup was accidentally brought down, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Compared to him, Lin Qingshan, who was on the side, was more calm and just chuckled: "It seems that President Xia doesn't understand this extreme warrior very well. Since Master Liu has invited me, there is no reason not to go."
