That night, Ling Xiaotian, who was in anger, first vented his anger on the Cao family.
Overnight, the beast property that Cao Mansion had not had time to transfer, as well as all the houses, including Zhang Cuihua and everyone in Cao Mansion, were all wiped out with blood.
The fire spread everywhere, everyone's bodies were reduced to ashes, and no one could determine the murderer behind the scenes.
Ling Xiaotian locked himself in the room, his face turned pale, and the desk was deformed by the force of his big hands.
His face was distorted, his eyes looked as if they had been soaked in blood and were dazzlingly red, and his whole person exuded deep murderous intent and overwhelming hatred.
On the desk, there is a piece of drawing paper. The portrait on the drawing paper has been kneaded by Ling Xiaotian countless times. If it weren't for keeping this portrait, Ling Xiaotian would have wished to crush Lin Yan into pieces like in reality. The drawing paper was torn into pieces.
"Lin Yan."
Ling Xiaotian stared at the portrait, clenched his fists, and said bitterly to himself: "In this life, I can do nothing but find you. I will use all the cruelest means in the world to let you It doesn’t happen again and again, I do what I say.”
"You killed my precious son and took away my precious Ten Thousand Beast Pills. I will remember these two hatreds. Just wait for me."
Afterwards, Ling Xiaotian began to call for people, and arranged for the experts in the sect to search outside overnight. Even if they searched the entire Zhongzhou City, they still wanted to find Lin Yan's whereabouts.
But while Ling Xiaotian was busy looking for someone, Lin Yan had already left Zhongzhou City overnight.
The reason is simple. What he wanted to do was actually accomplished at dusk today.
Time goes back to dusk.
Zhang Mingda was happy to invite Lin Yan. The four of them got on the carriage and soon arrived at the most prosperous restaurant in Luohe Prefecture.
Lin Yan was drinking wine with a smile on his face, his expression was very relaxed, and he was in a very good mood.
It was not because Zhang Mingda and the other three complimented him that he became ecstatic, nor because he killed Bully, the most outstanding young elite in Zhongzhou City, but because he had practiced the second step of the "Five Steps to Destroy the World". "Cracking Mountains".
He has already tested the power of "Cracking the Mountain". The same attack step is at least three times more powerful in terms of speed and weirdness than the first step of "Cracking the Earth", which also results in him only having one kick. , it shattered a mountain with a height of tens of meters into slag, and trampled to death Ling Ba, who had the strength of the ninth level of the Sky Control Realm.
This allowed Lin Yan to truly understand the power of the "Five World-Destroying Steps". It turned out that if you practice this set of attack steps to the extreme, the power will indeed reach the point of shattering the space.
Long before this, he had tried the second step of practice countless times, but the two key movements had not been completed. But today, during the battle, he gained a glimmer of understanding by observing the opponent's footwork, and then used it. The two essentials of movements that had always troubled him were completed in one go.
"This time I came to Zhongzhou City, although I encountered trouble at the beginning, but so far, I have rescued Chen Xiaokai, obtained a top-quality pill, the Ten Thousand Beasts Pill, and my strength has been upgraded to the ninth level of the Sky Control Realm, and I have learned how to destroy the world. The second step of the five steps, haha, in short, I gained a lot."
"Brother Lin Yan, just wait a moment, the restaurant will serve food. This time I specially ordered some of the most famous special dishes in Zhongzhou City. I'll ask Brother Lin Yan to try it later." Zhang Mingda said enthusiastically. said.
"Of course." Lin Yan smiled.
But before the food was served, Lin Yan and the others heard noise coming from downstairs.
Opening the window and taking a look, there was a large group of officers and soldiers escorting several prison cars passing by on the street below. I heard from other people that it was actually Ye Nanqing, the magistrate of Nanyang County, and Cao Jinshan, a famous and wealthy businessman who was going to be publicly arrested in the vegetable market. Beheaded everywhere.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Mingda on the side started chatting.
However, what he learned was naturally not as good as Lin Yan's.
You must know that Lin Yan is a party involved, an absolute party.
Whether it was Ye Nanqing or Cao Jinshan, their fall from power was actually related to him.
Lin Yan quietly looked at the two people with disheveled hair kneeling in the prison car, without any sympathy on his face.
From people's discussion just now, he learned that the trial of these two people had just ended. However, he heard that a senior official or even someone directly said that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who issued an order to handle the case quickly and make it a big deal. In order to expand their influence and serve as a warning to others, these two men were executed immediately without waiting for execution.
In order to serve as a warning to others, the government also deliberately chose the execution place in Luohe Prefecture, the neighboring state capital of Nanyang County. Moreover, the parade took a long time, not only passing through the county seat of Nanyang County, but also in Luohe Prefecture. The parade was held in the most prosperous area of the government, so there was a scene of the firing squad passing here.
It was okay if others didn't mention this matter. Once it was mentioned, Lin Yan understood that the reason why these two people were ordered to be executed immediately was because they offended Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Your Highness the Princess." Lin Yan muttered in his heart: "Then Xiao Dabao, oh no, the princess's name seems to be Xiao Ruoxi, haha, Ye Nanqing is the same, it is not easy to offend anyone, but it happened to anger Xiao Ruoxi. Princess Xiao was very angry. If you hit the Iron Ban Mountain, no wonder you will be punished."
Lin Yan looked at the execution procession below, then sat back down to enjoy the wine.
This matter has already passed and he has no interest in joining in the fun.
But Lin Yan didn't see that on a soft sedan in the execution procession, the cloth on the side facing the restaurant was lifted by the people in the sedan, revealing a beautiful face.
This woman has very fair skin, delicate facial features, and a pair of talking eyes that look very smart.
She was wearing expensive silk and satin clothes, embroidered with beautiful pictures of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix. If Lin Yan saw it, he would be able to recognize this woman at just one glance as her Royal Highness Princess Xiao Ruoxi.
Xiao Ruoxi originally stuck her head out to get some air. After all, the parade lasted for a long time. For her who is lively and loves to move, it felt a bit like asking for punishment. However, she had personally made the request to be executed before, hoping to see She hated the two villains for committing the crime, so she didn't want to give up halfway, so she had to persevere.
But this breath was not enough. When Xiao Ruoxi's eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure outside the window on the third floor of the restaurant, she became excited.
"It's actually Brother Lin Yan." Xiao Ruoxi was so happy that she waved her fists in the sedan chair.
"Haha, I didn't expect to meet Brother Lin Yan here. I thought he had left long ago?"
Xiao Ruoxi quickly decided not to go to the vegetable market to watch the two villains commit suicide. She decided to go to the restaurant secretly to surprise Brother Lin Yan.
Xiao Ruoxi has always been very fond of curious and fun things.
The last time she followed Lin Yan through prison and kidnapping, although her status as a princess was in danger, Xiao Ruoxi didn't care. Instead, she found the process extremely exciting, so she was eager to see Lin Yan again this time. After meeting Lin Yan again, interesting things can happen again.
After explaining to the guards around her, Xiao Ruoxi opened a package she carried with her, took out the boy's clothes and put them on. Soon, a handsome and heroic young man appeared.
"I'm not pretending to be a scholar this time. I'm pretending to be a warrior who travels around the world, haha." Xiao Dabao was dressed simply like a warrior, with a long sword on his waist. He quickly got out of the carriage and ran into the house like a whirlwind. In a bustling restaurant.
"Brother Lin Yan, this is the most famous special dish in Luohe Prefecture, ice lotus and snow clam, which is both antipyretic and fragrant." Zhang Mingda enthusiastically introduced the special dish.
Lin Yan ate it with relish.
Food is available in every region. This time when he came to Zhongzhou City, he really didn't have time to taste the food in Zhongzhou City. Taking this opportunity, he also got a taste of it.
While I was eating, a slightly deeper but still clear voice sounded from beside the table.
"Brother Lin Yan." Xiao Ruoxi, dressed as a young warrior, looked heroic and greeted with a smile.
Lin Yan was pouring a mouthful of iced bayberry soup down his throat. When he suddenly saw "Xiao Dabao" appearing, he was so surprised that he almost spit out the bayberry soup.
Although Xiao Ruoxi had dressed up deliberately, the last time she appeared in front of Lin Yan was a woman disguised as a man. Lin Yan was certainly impressed, so this time he recognized her after just a brief look.
Seeing "Xiao Dabao" wink at him, Lin Yan understood that the princess probably didn't want to reveal her identity in front of Zhang Mingda and others, so he laughed and said: "Xiao Dabao, it's you!"
Zhang Mingda was very happy and warmly greeted "Xiao Dabao" to the table, which was lively and lively.
As a princess, Xiao Ruoxi actually comes to this kind of restaurant at least, and she usually has maids following her every meal. Of course she is happy to have the opportunity to eat like an ordinary person this time, and she is not polite, so she quickly sat down Got the table.
Lin Yan chatted with her and estimated that "Xiao Dabao" must have accompanied the firing squad and accidentally bumped into him and came to the restaurant.
At the table, Zhang Mingda and the others quickly became familiar with "Xiao Dabao", which may have something to do with "Xiao Dabao's" carefree personality.
Seeing that "Xiao Dabao" was dressed as a warrior, Zhang Mingda thought he had met an expert again. This time he did not dare to misjudge him, especially when he saw "Xiao Dabao" wearing an extraordinary long sword around his waist. I feel that Brother Lin Yan’s friend is also a very ordinary person.
"Brother Dabao." Every time Zhang Mingda called him this, Lin Yan had to hold back his laughter: "What you carry with you seems to be a good long sword! Then Brother Dabao should be a good swordsman."
Seeing Zhang Mingda looking at her with admiring eyes, Xiao Ruoxi immediately felt extremely proud.
"Haha, I didn't expect that this outfit would be much better than a scholar's outfit. The last time I dressed up as a scholar, I even got a hydrangea, and I almost had my family members force their precious daughter onto me, which made me embarrassed. It’s amazing, but this time it’s better. A long sword gives me the demeanor of a great hero.”
Xiao Ruoxi thought like this and had to pretend to be very humble: "I am a swordsman, but it's just mediocre!"
Lin Yan on the side had no choice but to stuff his mouth with all his strength in order to hold back his laughter.
"Brother Dabao is so humble. When I saw that Brother Dabao was so impressive, he was clearly a master of swordsmanship." Zhang Mingda said with admiration.
"Brother Dabao, would you mind showing me the sword? I think what Brother Dabao is holding is a peerless sword."
Zhang Mingda said again.
Xiao Ruoxi felt that the feeling of being recognized as a master of the first generation was so wonderful and exciting. She came here hoping to participate in something different. What's more, she also thought that the quality of her new sword was good and " It is still possible to hide it from Zhang Mingda.
"Of course." So Xiao Ruoxi directly agreed: "Just take a look."
While saying: "Xiao Dabao", he took out the long sword from the scabbard and handed it to Zhang Mingda.
Lin Yan also raised his head and looked at the sword.
But as soon as he looked over, Lin Yan's heart was shocked.
This long sword is entirely silver, one meter and two meters long and one and a half inches wide.
Exactly the same as a war sword.
The world is vast and there are many long swords, but it is unlikely that there will be a long sword that is exactly the same as a war sword.
