It is not cultivation base, but is behavior and conduct. So grand, merely to see off to oneself? 钟山眉头微皱,心中暗叫太宗王厉害。不是修为,而是为人处世。如此隆重,仅仅为了给自己送行? „The prince was polite.” Zhong Shan shakes hand can only say modestly. “王爷客气了。”钟山被拉着手只能谦虚道。 Following Lin Xiao, Shui Wuhen and Liu Wushuang outside entire army, Mr. Shi and Zhi Huo follow close on to enter. 后面林啸、水无痕与柳无双在外整军,尸先生与炙火紧跟而入。 In the main hall chocked up numerous delicacies. 大殿内摆满了众多佳肴。 „Eastern Duke, the article anger heaven, Heaven Collapsing Plan and Imperial Hall wisdom debated Shen Qitian, recalled each time, made the this King infinite feeling, in the world completely have the so myth character.” After King Taizong asked the Zhong Shan three people to sit down, showed off to say. “东方公,文怒苍天、天崩计划、朝堂智辩申齐天,每次回忆起,都让本王无限感慨,世上尽有如此神话般的人物。”太宗王请钟山三人坐下后夸耀道。 „The prince spoke discreetly, Zhong Shan is just lucky.” Zhong Shan immediately modest say/way. “王爷言重了,钟山只不过侥幸而已。”钟山马上谦虚道。 „By luck?

The singing girls dance Ji are completely the peerless grace and talent. 酒宴之中,太宗王准备了一些歌舞,虽然比不过昔日念悠悠的一曲金沙舞,可也难能可贵。歌姬舞姬尽是风华绝代。 Mr. Shi and Zhi Huo did not speak from beginning to end.
