"Yes, please wait a moment." The maid bowed respectfully.
After Xiao Lingyue washed up and ate something, the maid came in with a tray.
"You go down."
"yes."
The maid retreated and closed the door.
Xiao Lingyue looked through the clothes in the tray and was surprised to find a dagger hidden in the ground.
She picked it up and saw that the dagger was very delicate.
The scabbard is made of shark skin, and the blade is made of fine iron that has been forged thousands of times. It is engraved with a blood groove like spring water, which is very cold.
He held it in his hand and swiped it casually, and the white porcelain tea cup broke with a sound, and the cross section was as smooth as a mirror.
Xiao Lingyue's eyes lit up, and she turned over the handle of the knife: "Prince Xiang actually has such a good thing in his hand..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the dragon scale pattern engraved on the bottom of the knife handle and her voice stopped.
Within Northern Qin, only the Dragon Scale Guards directly under Zhan Beihan could use this unique dragon scale pattern.
As well as the forging craftsmanship of this dagger, it is obvious at first glance that it is not ordinary.
Xiao Lingyue had heard before that there were three strange people in the military camp directly under Zhan Beihan.
They are "Master Yun", "Master Shadow" and "Elder Sword".
The identities of the three are so well hidden that outsiders often only hear their names, but don't know who they refer to.
But Xiao Lingyue knew.
Not only did she know that, she had also indirectly dealt with two of them when she was leading troops in Nanyan.
"Master Yun" refers to Yun Shu, the first intelligence chief under Zhan Beihan.
The identity of "Kage-sama" is the most mysterious and never shows up easily. It is said that he is the master of Yoichi and others. He was the previous head of the royal family's hidden guard. After he retired, he hid in the military camp. Zhan Beihan rarely used him.
As for the "Sword Elder", his identity is particularly special. He is a swordsmith and a master of weapon forging.
When the Dragon Scale Guard was first formed, it was built by "Elder Sword" under his leadership.
All of Zhan Beihan's usual weapons and armors were made by the "Sword Elder".
Even the self-defense concealed weapon carried by the prince, which helped the prince escape from danger in Xiangguo Temple, was also designed and built by the "Sword Elder".
It is worth mentioning that.
"Elder Sword" has an arrogant and eccentric personality. Although he is skilled in craftsmanship, he never takes credit from the court.
Later, for unknown reasons, he actually surrendered to Zhan Beihan and helped him create the elite Dragon Scale Guards of the Seven Kingdoms. For many years after that, he remained hidden behind the Dragon Scale Guards and never saw outsiders.
Xiao Lingyue had heard a rumor before.
Emperor Zhaoming once wanted to meet the weapons master, but he was rejected and even the eunuchs were driven back.
The most bizarre thing is that Emperor Zhaoming was not angry at all, but laughed it off.
In the entire Northern Qin Dynasty, only Zhan Beihan could recruit the "Sword Elder". For others to get a weapon from him, it would be even harder than climbing to the sky.
Because the prince lacked martial arts skills and lacked the ability to protect himself, Zhan Beihan found the "Sword Elder" to tailor-make a hidden self-defense weapon for him.
After receiving it, the prince felt like he had found a treasure and never left his body.
Among the many princes in Northern Qin, only the prince, his biological brother, was worthy of Zhan Beihan's words.
And now.
Xiao Lingyue looked at the dagger in her hand with a subtle expression: "..."
The dagger's cold light cut through iron like clay.
The shape is so exquisite that it can be called a work of art, and it is extremely convenient to carry around.
Although it is petite in size, it is just right for women. The size, weight and size are just right.
Xiao Lingyue held the handle of the knife and flipped it flexibly, stabbing, picking, hooking, and slicing with great ease.
