Chapter 156: The Banquet
Just when Lin Chen had eaten a lot of melons and fruits and was about to taste wine, the second prince suddenly walked over, Qin Wentian sat next to him and said with a smile: "Lin Chen, don't come unharmed." Let me introduce you to you, this is General Chen Xiao, the eldest son of Marshal Chen. ”
Qin Wentian introduced a middle-aged man on the side to Lin Chen with a face full of kindness, as if he was preparing to entrap people in front of Tie Ying.
"I've seen the second prince and General Chen. Lin Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted slightly.
"Boy, if you can't stay in Iron Eagle anymore, you can come under my command, and I can let your current rank be directly upgraded to one level. ”
Chen Xiao didn't have the slightest general's shelf, the appearance of a tiger's back looked particularly imposing, he climbed Lin Chen's shoulder and said enthusiastically, and his voice was unusually loud, attracting the attention of many people around him.
"Haha, then thank you General Chen, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely come. ”
Now that the opportunity and risk are in front of him, of course Lin Chen dares to seize it, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.
"You kid is getting more and more appetizing for me, no one has dared to say yes to my invitation at the headquarters of the Iron Eagle Corps, you are the first one, hahaha. ”
Chen Xiao's face was stacked with a bright smile, and he laughed heroically, not caring at all about the opinions of the other high-level leaders of Tie Ying.
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of her, Qin Ziyue was wearing a red long dress, dressed delicately and elegantly, walking step by step, and then her eyes and Lin Chen looked at each other, and said with a hint of shyness: "Young Master Lin Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
"Little sister, don't be embarrassed for yourself, I was so worried and in love with this kid during the previous time, I felt distressed when I saw it, come and chat. ”
Seeing this, Qin Wentian stood up and pulled Qin Ziyue to his seat, as if he was trying his best to promote the two of them.
"Lin Chen, I can warn you, don't bully my little sister anymore, do you hear? Some time ago, she didn't think about tea and food in the palace every day, and often asked us about you. ”
Qin Hao's figure also walked forward, followed by Marshal Ye Tian and other high-ranking members of the Iron Eagle Legion.
To say that the most nervous person may not be Lin Chen, but the people of Team Seven, most of them are people who have seen the royal family for the first time, and they seem to be a little flustered for a while.
Seeing this, Gao Yuan took the rest of Team Seven away, and even he himself was unwilling to stay in this environment for long, because almost every sentence contained deep meaning.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at everyone and left with Chu Qing, not staying here for long, although her identity also belonged to this environment.
"Chen Xiao, don't dig under the old man's nose when digging the foot of the wall, otherwise I won't be able to go back to you Believe it or not?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Tian was also a violent temper, and he walked over and said with a gloomy face, the whole atmosphere instantly condensed, and there was not even a sound of rapid breathing.
"Ye Shuai may have misunderstood, didn't I hear that Lin Chengongzi had a grudge against Tianqing Sect and Tianya Academy, we were afraid that the Iron Eagle Corps would not be able to protect it and lose a genius in vain. ”
Seeing Ye Tian speak, Chen Xiao's momentum was obviously much more low-key, but he still said without humility or arrogance.
"You don't have to worry about this, you weren't born when I nursed the calf. ”
After Ye Tian finished speaking, he turned around and left, not staying here any longer.
"Hmph, Chu Qing, you will definitely not be able to escape today. ”
"If I, Chu Qing, don't die today, will you kill yourself, old dog?"
Suddenly, in a corner of the banquet, there was a sudden noise and fighting, and I saw several people from the Tianqing Sect and the people of the seventh team bumping together, and the momentum of Gao Yuan and Bai Boyong clashed together.
When an arrogant Tianqing Sect disciple rushed to the front, about to make a move on his teammates in Team Seven, Lin Chen's anger came up directly, he pulled out the Qinghong Sword and killed it directly, and attacked with a sword, cutting off the head of that Tianqing Sect disciple.
"Elder Bai, don't come unharmed, I didn't expect that after so long, you are still alive. Lin Chen kicked the disciple's head away and pretended to be polite.
"You... You two thieves, I'm going to kill you today. ”
Even though Bai Boyong knew that Lin Chen was deliberately provoking him, he still couldn't help the anger in his heart and roared.
"You dare to touch him?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Ziyue suddenly came over, and she completely changed in momentum, she looked at Bai Boyong and said indifferently.
"Princess, this is our Tianqing Sect's matter, please give us a few thin noodles. ”
"What if I don't want to give it, do you want to threaten me?"
Qin Ziyue did not make the slightest concession, and said every word very firmly.
"Yo, isn't this Elder Bai, how about having time to be a guest at the palace? I promise to give you enough face. ”
Seeing his sister's stubborn appearance, Qin Hao was also a little moved in his heart, walked over slowly, and sneered at Bai Boyong.
"Yes, you must know that our royal clan also loves face very much, where are you going back and forth?"
As soon as Qin Wentian opened his mouth, he was even more damaged, and he directly prepared to drive away the guests, without giving face at all.
"It seems that our Tianqing Sect came here today to make a big move, so we will retire here first. ”
Bai Boyong's gloomy face could already drip water, and with a cold snort, he left here with the people of the Tianqing Sect.
"Hey, hey, don't go, Elder Bai, aren't you going to kill me? ”
Lin Chen was in an extremely happy mood now, he had been chased and killed by the Tianqing Sect several times, and today he finally won a game, and he was comfortable.
"By the way, it's dark and the road is slippery, Elder Bai remember to be careful. ”
Chu Qing looked at the embarrassed figures of the Tianqing Sect, and said sarcastically, Qin Xiaoxiao on the side had a trace of hatred in his eyes when he looked at the Tianqing Sect.
"Good evening everyone, today all forces come to the Iron Eagle Legion, I would like to welcome everyone on behalf of Ye Shuai, the main agenda tonight is to award the captain of the famous team, I hope that under the witness of all parties, these recruits can become independent generals in the future. ”
When the banquet had been going on for half an hour, except for the Tianqing Sect that had already been driven away, almost all the guests had arrived, and now they were all staring at the stage of the title surrounded by bright light.
"Captain of the first team of the Iron Eagle Corps, awarded the rank of second lieutenant. ”
"Captain of the second team of the Iron Eagle Corps, awarded the rank of second lieutenant. ”
......
"Captain of the eighth team of the Iron Eagle Corps, awarded the rank of second lieutenant. ”
Although some of the previous team captains had already sacrificed, now that a new captain had been elected, the entire award ceremony was in order of rank, so Lin Chen didn't hear his name for a long time.
"Ye Minghao, the captain of the fourth team of the Iron Eagle Corps, was awarded the title of reserve lieutenant, and Ye Minghao was invited to confer the title. ”
waited until the last two places, Ye Minghao was called first, his previous injuries had healed, at least on the surface, there was nothing to see.
After experiencing setbacks, we must learn to change, and we must not be complacent in the future. ”
Ye Tian put the armband on him and instructed him carefully.
"Yes!"
Ye Minghao walked down after accepting the military rank in a majestic manner, and when he looked at Lin Chen again, there was no more hostility in his eyes, but there was a kind of respect for the strong.
"Lin Chen, the captain of the seventh team of the Iron Eagle Corps, performed extremely well in the battle with the enemy army of the criminal career, recorded his second-class meritorious service, awarded the rank of lieutenant, and asked Ye Shuai to confer the title and give him the Medal of Honor. ”
Lin Chen got up and saluted the people around him who were looking at him one by one, and then walked onto the award stage under many gazes, the bright light hit his body, and the young man in white showed a warm and warm smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
"Morning boy, you just have to perform in the future, and Iron Eagle will provide you with a broad stage. ”
Ye Xuan's usual habitually taut face was now completely replaced by a smile, he personally changed Lin Chen's rank armband, and then handed him the Medal of Honor.
Lin Chen nodded lightly and said respectfully: "Thank you Marshal, I will definitely live up to my mission." ”
Seeing a burst of noise below, Qin Ziyue couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart, and applauded and cheered for the white-clothed man in front of her, but only she knew how much bitterness and expectation she had in her heart.
After the investiture ceremony, the whole banquet becomes a place for the various forces of the empire to talk, each with a certain purpose to get along with others, and the content of the conversation is nothing more than power and profit.
The eldest prince and the second prince are the busiest at this time, they need to gather all forces, everyone has to talk and figure out carefully, although the body is not tired, the heart is very tired.
Gradually, the people around Lin Chen and Qin Ziyue seemed to have formed a tacit understanding, and they didn't bother the two of them, giving them a chance to be alone.
Qin Ziyue pretended to look at the rest of the banquet, and occasionally glanced at the man in white beside her with her residual light, and then lowered her head shyly.
"Lin Chen, remember to go back and see Jiu'er and the little wolf when you have time, those two little guys are about to tear down the outer courtyard. ”
Just as Lin Chen was about to open his mouth to break the peace, the voice of an acquaintance came again, and he saw Luochenzi walking slowly and saying with a kind face.
"Thank you for Dean's care, I will pick them up when I have time, so as not to make trouble for the college. ”
Lin Chen saw that Luo Chenzi took the initiative to mention the wine and the little wolf, and he must have been embarrassed to turn his face, so he said politely.
Seeing Lin Chen so polite, Luo Chenzi couldn't say any more, and left here after smiling awkwardly.
"Don't worry about Young Master Lin Chen, I often go to see Jiu'er and the little wolf, and I often take them to the palace to play, Ziyue will not allow anyone to bully them. ”
A hint of a smile appeared on Qin Ziyue's delicate face, and her bright eyes suddenly brightened, because she had finally found a suitable topic to cut into, and immediately said with a smile.
"Ah, if I'm not around, those two little ones don't know how much trouble they can cause, so I'll ask the princess to take care of them. ”
Lin Chen touched his nose, and he was also a little embarrassed, as a boy, he actually asked a girl to take the initiative to find a topic, and immediately said kindly.
"Well, this is what I should do, Lin Chengongzi is developing well in the army, and he doesn't need to worry about other things. ”
Seeing that Lin Chen was willing to reply, Qin Ziyue's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and with a hint of joy, she spoke again.
That night, Lin Chen and Qin Ziyue talked about a lot of things, but they always paid attention to other things, that is, they didn't talk about the two of them, and when the banquet was over, the two separated.
