Among the laughter, King Guangling also laughed.

  Perhaps it was his voice that was too moving, or perhaps it was his aura that was originally intimidating. When he smiled, the laughter of the crowd came to an abrupt halt.

  Among the sounds of laughter and chatter, Prince Guangling strode towards Xiao Ce with large steps.

  But five or six steps, he had already walked to the front of Xiao Ce. Stopping his footsteps, he carefully looked up and down at this fat man before stretching out his hand, lightly and elegantly patting Xiao Ces shoulder.

  Patting him, the clear and mellow voice of Guangling Wang came, "Chang Gong thinks that Brother Xiao should lose weight." He smiled lightly, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, "A figure like Brother Xiaos is not suitable for the battlefield, nor can it be called a good man!"

  He strode past Xiao Ce, walking straight towards those beauties, his clear and bright voice not hiding his arrogance in the slightest. "Of course, perhaps in Brother Xiaos eyes, a husbands battlefield shouldnt be on the sandy plains, but rather between the bed curtains? Haha——"

  So arrogant, so sharp-tongued, so domineering, so disdainful, and yet so invincible!

  The laughter stopped!

  Xiao Ces face turned iron-green!

  He suddenly turned around and stared fiercely at Prince Guangling. At this time, Prince Guangling had his hands behind his back, with a straight waist and an elegant demeanor like a jade tree, exuding an indescribable elegance and nobility.

  He seemed to have no feeling of Xiao Ces anger, and after turning around his many concubines with a smile, he shook his head and let out a long sigh.

  "Halt!"

  Xiao Ces voice rose sharply, and he suddenly let out a loud roar!

  The King of Guangling indeed stopped in his tracks.

  He slowly turned his head, in the moonlit night, he seemed to smile but not quite smiled at Xiao Ce, his voice slightly raised, tone leisurely yet extremely sincere: "Ive long heard that Brother Xiao is the unparalleled hero of Chen land, Im not talented, willing to compare with Brother Xiao on the battlefield skills." He was smiling, his bright and sharp eyes shining in the night, "A real man, competing for benefits verbally, boasting in bed, doesnt count as anything. Only on the battlefield, between horsebacks, betting lives, blood splashing five steps away, can be called a true hero." Saying this, his voice suddenly became loud and clear, sternly shouting: "Dare to ask Xiao Ce, dare to have a real fight with me, Gao Chang Gong?"

  The sound was loud and clear, and it still echoed in the air for a long time!

  In Chen Di, in Jiankang, scholars from the very beginning looked down on military generals and did not think that the business of fighting and killing was worth admiring.

  However, the Prince of Guangling was overbearing and his words and actions were relentless, one sentence after another, one step after another. In such a short moment, he forced Xiao Ce to retreat with no way out, and also made everyone present speechless.

  Xiao Ces face changed slightly.

  In an embarrassing silence, a young man walked out from behind Xiao Ce. The young man was dressed in white clothes and had elegant manners. He bowed to the Prince of Guangling and said loudly: "The Prince of Guangling comes from the land of Qi, perhaps you dont know that for us southerners, competing on the battlefield and fighting on horseback are things that inferior people like to do..."

  This young man was Xiao Mo. When he turned the situation around with one sentence, causing the sons of the Jiankang aristocratic families to burst out laughing again, he chuckled and said: "However, since Prince Guangling has just arrived in the south, its not surprising that he doesnt know better. Lets just forget about what happened earlier, shall we? Prince Guangling can follow us into the banquet and take a look at the beautiful clothes, beautiful women, and delicious food of our southern people?"

  He has a warm smile, and his every move is so refreshing that it makes people feel like they are basking in the warmth of spring.

  The King of Guangling smiled slightly.

  After all, he was a guest on the territory of these southerners, and it was not necessary to provoke those aristocratic families and stir up trouble. Moreover, he really wasnt someone who liked to engage in verbal disputes.

  He nodded and smiled: "Well, in that case, please go ahead."

  Having said that, he bowed elegantly and strode forward, now walking towards the banquet as if he were the host.

  As he walked away, the dignitaries followed suit. Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Mo, who was dressed in white, with a warm gaze. A middle-aged man standing beside him said in a low voice, "Young Master Ce, our familys thousand-mile steed isnt bad, is it?"

  Xiao Ce nodded and said: "The reaction is indeed agile, and the demeanor is also elegant. Cultivate well."

  "Yes."

  Xiao Ce came back to his senses and stared deeply at Prince Guangling for a few moments before taking a few steps forward, coming up behind him.

  Smiling at Prince Guangling, as if nothing had happened earlier, Xiao Ce pointed to the dozen or so concubines behind him and said: "Just now was Xiaos fault. Brother Gao, these beauties are truly exceptional, just suitable for comforting Brother Gaos long nights in Jiankang."

  "Them?"

  The King of Guangling turned his head and glanced at the crowd of concubines, perhaps because his reputation was too loud, or perhaps because the women had admired him for too long. When he looked over, the concubines one by one cast flirtatious glances, with a mixture of shyness and expectation on their faces.

  He gazed intently for a moment, then shook his head. With his hands clasped behind him, he spoke slowly and deliberately: "Can this kind of beauty be considered the ultimate in beauty?"

  At the time when Xie Ze and others changed their faces, King Guangling smiled and said with a look of yearning: "To say that the real absolute beauty, I met one not long ago."

  When such an extraordinary handsome man talks about beauties, people are still very interested.

  "Oh? Id love to hear more about it!"

  The Prince of Guangling gazed at the faint crescent moon in the sky and said, "When I met her, that little girl was still too young. Ah yes, she is also a daughter of your esteemed family in Jiankang."

  As soon as this was said, everyones interest was greatly aroused, and the young masters all pricked up their ears to listen. Even Xiao Ce and a few other powerful nobles were also slightly narrowing their eyes, barely concealing their excitement!

  The King of Guangling said slowly: "That little girl, although young, has extraordinary eyesight since childhood. I can guarantee that when she grows up, she will have a stunning beauty."

  Xiao Ce excitedly asked: "I wonder which familys daughter that little girl is?"

  The King of Guangling furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before speaking slowly: "When I first met her, it was on the road back to Jiankang. That little girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a hint of childishness still on her face..." The more he spoke in detail, the more seriously the nobles listened. For a time, all around was silent, with only the Kings clear and pleasant voice floating in like music.

  Zhang Qi stood to one side, earlier when Prince Guangling and Xiao Ce had a confrontation, she was worried in her heart and unknowingly walked a bit closer. Unlike the other girls, she hid behind a tree, although she was very close to Prince Guangling and the others, but she herself was hidden in the darkness, not noticeable at all.

  When she heard Guangling King mention a young and beautiful woman, she didnt pay attention at first, just listened.

  But as she heard this, she became more and more frightened. When it came to "on the way back to Jiankang, 12 or 13 years old, with a pale face", her body couldnt help but tremble, and her small face was even paler than ever!
