Looking at the long sword handed to Zhang Mingda by Princess Xiao Ruoxi, Lin Yan's heart became excited in an instant.
"The third battle sword must be located in the place where the dragon ascended on Wangyue Mountain, but I searched it carefully there and found no trace of the battle sword. If the battle sword is obtained by the people in Zhongzhou City, there is nothing strange about it. Yes, and Xiao Ruoxi is from a royal family, and she has far more ways to get the sword of war than other people in Zhongzhou City.”
Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel heartbroken with the long sword in front of him.
Since he realized that this might be the third battle sword he was looking for, Lin Yan's mind quickly started to work.
He didn't want to force the sword to snatch the sword, but he wouldn't watch the sword slip away from him.
"What should I do? The sword of war has become Xiao Ruoxi's personal belongings, and Xiao Ruoxi's identity is extraordinary. If I directly explain the preciousness of this sword, I am afraid that she will not want to give up such a treasure, but if I don't explain the coming of this sword, I am afraid that she will not be willing to give up such a treasure. With her wisdom, she would also doubt my intentions, how can I get the sword of war from her."
Lin Yan came up with one solution after another in his mind, but found that it was not suitable.
But at this moment, his head suddenly "boomed" and immediately remembered something more important.
When the sword touches the sword, it will have mutual induction. Just like in the empty space in the west direction of the Snow Plateau, when he discovered the sword that was once wrapped in meteorite, the first sword on his body. A buzzing sound was made clearly to show that the same battle sword was found.
Even through a thick layer of meteorite, the first battle sword could sense the battle sword inside the meteorite. What about now?
Now he has two battle swords on his body. If the one in Xiao Ruoxi's hand is also a real battle sword, then he can clearly feel that the two battle swords on his body will make a buzzing sound and will have some sense.
However, no.
From the time when Xiao Ruoxi wore a long sword and entered the restaurant in the dress of a young warrior, he had no sense until now he drew out the long sword.
"This is definitely not a real sword:"
Lin Yan quickly thought of this in his mind and immediately strengthened his judgment.
Nothing else, just because a total of five war swords were refined by the guardians of the martial world. There is an indescribable connection between each other. By this connection, when the war swords approach each other to a certain extent, it will Induction occurs.
Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh helplessly. When he looked at the long sword in Xiao Ruoxi's hand, his eyes finally stopped being so hot and his mood gradually calmed down.
"However, this long sword is exactly the same as the sword sword. Even I can't tell whether it is true or false. The information about the sword sword has no leak, so the outside world is not aware of what the sword sword looks like, so there is no way to go. I have refined a sword that looks like the sword, so someone must have seen a real sword. I designed this sword with the real sword as a template, which means that it can be found through Xiao Ruoxi's hands. This sword, if you look for clues layer by layer, you will definitely be able to find the real battle sword."
Thinking of this, Lin Yan's heart was surging again.
Hope has not been shattered and the clues have not been completely cut off at once. He still has a chance to get the third battle sword.
"Now, I should strike indirectly at Xiao Ruoxi and get as much information as possible about this sword. Although it is impolite to do so, the sword of war is related to my strength improvement and whether I can kill Lin Zhen with my own hands. Even if you are rude to Princess Xiao Ruoxi, you can only do this."
After making up his mind, Lin Yan was about to start asking, but he found that Zhang Mingda, who had taken the long sword, had actually changed his face.
"Strange, Zhang Mingda's expression was not the joy of seeing the sword, but the shock and unbelievableness. It seemed that Zhang Mingda knew this long sword, so why did this happen?"
Lin Yan muttered in his heart that he believed in his judgment very much. However, even if Zhang Mingda's family was well-known and powerful in Luohecheng, they could be said to have an intimate connection with the imperial family, and Lin Yan did not believe it. But what explanation can Zhang Mingda's expression be made?
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" At this time, seeing Zhang Mingda holding the long sword for a long time without responding, Xiao Ruoxi was confused and asked with a smile.
Lin Yan also looked at Zhang Mingda, ready to see how he reacted.
But what Zhang Mingda did next was beyond expectations.
He gave instructions to the strong man and the strong man, and actually asked the two men who were sitting on the table to leave the table and wait outside the restaurant.
The two guards were drinking and chatting with Lin Yan and Xiao Ruoxi from beginning to end. Now they were not full of food, but Zhang Mingda gave an order to let the two leave.
This definitely does not conform to Zhang Mingda's character. Zhang Mingda is a person without any airs, otherwise he would not have let two guards go to the table. Now he lets two guards leave halfway, which is very unreasonable.
Although the two guards were puzzled, they naturally abide by the young master's orders unconditionally, so they quickly got up, walked out of the restaurant, and waited respectfully outside the restaurant.
Seeing that the people around him did not look at his table with strange eyes, Zhang Mingda carefully placed the sword on the table, then leaned forward, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at Xiao Ruoxi's eyes. He lowered his voice and said to Xiao Ruoxi in a very respectful and even humble tone: "Grass people pay homage to His Highness the Princess."
Lin Yan was stunned by the side.
"Zhang Mingda cannot know Xiao Ruoxi's identity from me, and he did not recognize Xiao Ruoxi at the beginning. The only possibility is that Zhang Mingda learned Xiao Ruoxi's true identity through this long sword. Wouldn't that mean, Zhang Mingda is very familiar with this sword."
"No wonder Zhang Mingda's face changed drastically the moment he took the long sword."
"I didn't expect that things will be like this until now."
Lin Yan was very happy and watched the situation develop quietly.
When Xiao Ruoxi heard Zhang Mingda's words, his face remained silent and said with a smile: "Brother Mingda, what's wrong with you? What princess is not a princess?"
Zhang Mingda's body became tighter and his expression was still very respectful. He whispered: "Caomin understands that the princess does not want to reveal his identity, but no one nearby noticed it, and this brother Lin Yan is not an outsider, Caomin I believe Brother Lin Yan.”
When Lin Yan heard this, he laughed silently and thought that if Zhang Mingda had not been hindered by his identity, he might have asked him to leave quickly like he ordered two guards to avoid disturbing His Royal Highness the Princess.
However, Lin Yan also knew that Zhang Mingda was a scholar after all, well-educated and well-reasoned. His hierarchy concept of the monarch and ministers was imprinted in his mind, and he was no better than those from outside the city.
Seeing that Xiao Ruoxi couldn't pretend, she frowned slightly and said with some hatred: "I didn't expect that she would be recognized so soon. By the way, Brother Mingda, how did you recognize me?"
Zhang Mingda wanted to lean over and kneel down, but he could not reveal the princess' identity. When he heard the princess call him "Mingda" and call him, he was immediately at a loss.
He blushed and said carefully: "Your Highness Princess, just call me my name. In front of the Princess Palace, the grass people dare not overestimate the etiquette."
"Haha." Xiao Ruoxi looked at Zhang Mingda, who was like an ant on a hot pan, and smiled and said, "You are so cute, you are so stubborn! Look at Brother Lin Yan next to you, you are not as nervous as you. ”
Zhang Mingda laughed twice with him and said seriously: "Brother Lin Yan is not from Zhongzhou City, and he is not clear about the etiquette of the monarch and his subjects, but I am the emperor's people. I should abide by my duty and dare not mess with the etiquette. .”
Xiao Ruoxi had no choice but to express her position and let Zhang Mingda learn like Lin Yan, without showing fear in front of her, so Zhang Mingda adapted.
Of course, Zhang Mingda also knew about Lin Yan’s previous relationship with Xiao Ruoxi.
"Brother Lin Yan, you recognize His Highness the Princess as soon as he comes in, but you are fine. You don't say anything, and you don't look at me, so I'll call you a big treasure in front of the Princess' Hall." Zhang Mingda deliberately joked. .
The atmosphere on the table finally returned to normal.
Next, naturally, Xiao Ruoxi couldn't wait to ask Zhang Mingda why she recognized her identity.
Zhang Mingda explained: "I recognized His Highness the Princess through the long sword in His Highness's hand."
"How do you say this?" Xiao Ruoxi was very curious.
Even Lin Yan was very interested in knowing the reason.
Zhang Mingda then said, "I wonder if this sword was given to His Highness the Princess Yelu Yan, the county magistrate of Luohe Prefecture."
"Yes!" Xiao Ruoxi immediately said, "Didn't I come with the firing squad today? Passing by your Luohezhou Prefecture, Lord Yelu probably knew what I liked a long time ago, so he proposed to give me this long sword. Seeing that this sword is very good, with a delicate appearance and awesomeness in his hand, I took it away. What, what does it have to do with Yelu Yan?"
Zhang Mingda became frowning and said angrily: "Yelu Yan snatched me this long sword."
"Ah!" Xiao Ruoxi opened his mouth wide: "Tell me quickly, hum, I just said that Yelu Yan is not like a good person. He turned out to have snatched someone else's things, but gave them to me in turn. It's really sinister."
"About a year ago, my father went out for a walk around Wangyue Mountain. He accidentally discovered this long sword near the place where the dragon ascended. This long sword is indeed as His Royal Highness said, with exquisite workmanship and very good quality. So my father regarded it as a treasure and gave it to me. I usually like to dance with swords and guns, and occasionally wear this long sword to go out for fun. I didn't want to go out on the street three days ago, but I happened to meet Yelu Yan, he took a fancy to this sword and finally suppressed me with his power, forcing me to give it to him." Zhang Mingda said angrily.
"It was found near the land where the dragon ascends, and it was a year ago." Lin Yan was excited after hearing Zhang Mingda's words: "So, the long sword that Zhang Mingda's father accidentally discovered by his father , it is probably the sword of war."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yan became confused again.
"But the long sword was taken away by Yelu Yan and gave it to His Royal Highness the Princess. Logically speaking, the long sword on the table should be a war sword, but it is not. Which aspect of this is coming from There was a problem."
"Is it possible that what Zhang Mingda's father discovered was not the sword of war? No, this is impossible. If it weren't the sword of war, then the sword in front of him was refined based on a template."
"Is it?"
In the blink of an eye, an idea flashed through Lin Yan's mind.
