Seeing the long sword handed to Zhang Mingda by Princess Xiao Ruoxi, it looked exactly like a war sword. Lin Yan's heart suddenly became excited.
"The third war sword must be located in the place where the giant dragon ascended in Wangyue Mountain, but I searched there carefully and found no trace of the war sword. It would not be surprising if the war sword was obtained by someone from Zhongzhou City. Yes, and Xiao Ruoxi is from a royal family, so she has far more ways to obtain the sword than anyone else in Zhongzhou City."
Thinking like this, Lin Yan couldn't help but feel excited about the long sword in front of him.
Now that he realized that this might be the third sword he was looking for, Lin Yan's mind started working quickly.
He didn't want to snatch the sword by force, but he also wouldn't just watch the sword slip away from him.
"What should I do? The war sword has clearly become Xiao Ruoxi's personal belongings, and Xiao Ruoxi's identity is extraordinary. If I directly explain how precious this sword is, I'm afraid she won't want to give up such a treasure. And if I don't explain the origin of this sword, Li, with her wisdom, will also doubt my intentions, how can I get the sword from her hand."
Lin Yan thought of one method after another in his mind, but found that none of them were suitable.
But at this moment, there was a sudden "bang" in his head, and he immediately remembered something more important.
When the war sword touches the war sword, there will be mutual induction, just like in the void space in the extreme west of the Snow Fantasy Plateau, when he found the war sword that was once wrapped in meteorite, the first war sword on his body There was a clear buzzing sound, indicating that the same war sword had been found.
Even through a thick layer of meteorite, the first battle sword could sense the battle sword in the meteorite, but now.
Now he has two war swords on his body. If the one in Xiao Ruoxi's hand is a genuine war sword, then he can clearly feel that the two war swords on his body will buzz and sense something.
However, no.
From the moment Xiao Ruoxi entered the restaurant wearing a long sword and dressed as a young warrior, until now when she drew the long sword, he didn't feel anything.
"This is definitely not a real fighting sword:"
Lin Yan thought quickly in his mind and immediately strengthened his judgment.
For no other reason than because a total of five battle swords were refined by the guardians of the martial arts world, and there is an indescribable connection with each other. With this connection, when the battle swords are close to each other to a certain extent, they will Induced.
Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh. When he looked at the long sword in Xiao Ruoxi's hand, his eyes were finally no longer so fiery, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"However, the appearance of this long sword is exactly the same as that of the Zhan Sword. Even I can't tell the authenticity from the fake. And the information about the Zhan Sword has not been leaked, so the outside world has no idea what the Zhan Sword looks like, so there is no way. To refine a sword that is so similar to a war sword, someone must have seen a real war sword and used the real war sword as a template to design this sword. In other words, it can be passed through Xiao Ruoxi's hands. This sword, if you look for clues layer by layer, you will be able to find the real sword."
Thinking of this, Lin Yan's heart surged again.
Hope has not been dashed yet, and the clues have not been completely cut off. He still has a chance to obtain the third sword.
"Now, I should make some insinuations from Xiao Ruoxi and get as much information as possible about this long sword. Although it is a bit impolite to do so, fighting the sword is related to the improvement of my strength and whether I can kill Lin Zhen with my own hands. Even if I'm rude to Princess Xiao Ruoxi, that's all I can do."
Having made up his mind, Lin Yan was about to start asking, but he found that Zhang Mingda's expression changed after he took the sword.
"It's strange. Zhang Mingda's expression was not the joy he felt when he saw the sword, but the complete shock and disbelief. It was as if Zhang Mingda knew this long sword. How could it be like this?"
Lin Yan murmured in his heart. He believed in his judgment very much. However, even though Zhang Mingda's family was well-known and powerful in Luohe City, Lin Yan did not believe that they wanted to have a close connection with the royal family. But what’s the explanation for Zhang Mingda’s expression?
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" At this time, seeing Zhang Mingda holding the long sword without responding for a long time, Xiao Ruoxi was confused and asked with a smile.
Lin Yan also looked at Zhang Mingda, preparing to see how he would react.
But what Zhang Mingda did next was beyond expectations.
He gave instructions to the capable man and the strong man, and actually asked the two people sitting at the table to leave the table and wait outside the restaurant.
The two guards had been drinking and chatting with Lin Yan and Xiao Ruoxi from the beginning to the end. Now that neither of them had eaten enough, Zhang Mingda gave an order for the two to leave.
This is definitely not in line with Zhang Mingda's character. Zhang Mingda is a person with no airs. Otherwise, he would not have let two guards come to the table. Now, he asked two guards to leave midway. It is very inconsistent with common sense.
Although the two guards were confused, they naturally obeyed the young master's order unconditionally, so they quickly got up, walked out of the restaurant, and waited respectfully outside the restaurant.
Seeing that no one around him looked at his table strangely, Zhang Mingda carefully placed the long sword on the table, then leaned forward with his head lowered, not daring to meet Xiao Ruoxi's eyes, and He lowered his voice and said to Xiao Ruoxi in a very respectful and even humble tone: "The common people pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Lin Yan on the side was stunned.
"It's impossible for Zhang Mingda to know Xiao Ruoxi's identity from me, and he didn't recognize Xiao Ruoxi at the beginning. The only possibility is that Zhang Mingda knew Xiao Ruoxi's true identity through this long sword. Doesn't that mean that Zhang Mingda knew Xiao Ruoxi's true identity through this long sword?" Mingda is very familiar with this long sword."
"No wonder Zhang Mingda's expression changed drastically the moment he took the sword."
"I didn't expect that things would develop to this point."
Lin Yan was very happy and quietly watched the development of the situation.
When Xiao Ruoxi heard Zhang Mingda's words, her face remained calm and she laughed and said: "Brother Mingda, what's wrong with you? You're not a princess."
Zhang Mingda's body tensed even tighter, his expression was still very respectful, he whispered: "Caomin understands that Her Royal Highness the Princess does not want to expose her identity, but no one nearby noticed, and this brother Lin Yan is not an outsider, Caomin I believe in Brother Lin Yan."
When Lin Yan heard this, he burst out laughing, thinking that if Zhang Mingda hadn't hindered his identity, he might have asked him to leave quickly, just like he ordered the two guards, so as not to disturb the princess.
However, Lin Yan also knew that Zhang Mingda was a scholar after all, well-informed and well-informed, and his hierarchical concept of monarch and ministers had been imprinted in his mind, unlike people from other cities.
Seeing that she couldn't pretend anymore, Xiao Ruoxi frowned slightly and said with some hatred: "I didn't expect to be recognized so quickly. By the way, little brother Mingda, how did you recognize me."
Zhang Mingda wanted to kneel down and worship, but he couldn't reveal the princess's identity. When he heard Her Majesty the Princess calling him "Mingda's little brother", he was immediately at a loss.
He blushed and said cautiously: "Your Highness Princess, just call me by my name. In front of Your Highness the Princess, ordinary people would not dare to violate the etiquette."
"Haha." Xiao Ruoxi looked at Zhang Mingda, who was like an ant on a hot pot, jokingly, and said with a smile: "You are really cute, you are so stubborn! You see, Brother Lin Yan next to you is not as frightened as you. "
Zhang Mingda laughed a few times along with him, and said seriously: "Brother Lin Yan is not from Zhongzhou City, and he doesn't know the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, but I am a subject of the emperor, and I should abide by my duties and dare not mess with etiquette. .”
Xiao Ruoxi had no choice but to express her position and asked Zhang Mingda to learn from Lin Yan and not need to show fear in front of her. Only then did Zhang Mingda get used to it.
Naturally, Zhang Mingda also knew about Lin Yan's previous acquaintance with Xiao Ruoxi.
"Brother Lin Yan, you recognized Her Highness the Princess as soon as she came in, but it was better for you to keep silent or look at her to remind me, which made me say Dabao Brother in front of Her Highness the Princess," Zhang Mingda deliberately joked. .
The atmosphere at the table finally returned to normal.
Next, of course, Xiao Ruoxi couldn't wait to ask Zhang Mingda why he recognized her identity.
Zhang Mingda explained: "I recognized Her Royal Highness's identity only through the long sword in Her 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: "May I ask Her Royal Highness if this sword was given to Her Royal Highness by Yeluyan, the governor of Luohe Prefecture."
"Yes!" Xiao Ruoxi said immediately: "Didn't I come with the firing squad today? Passing by your Luohe Prefecture, Lord Yelu probably knew what I liked and offered to give me this long sword. I Seeing that this long sword is very good, with exquisite appearance and quite impressive in hand, I accepted it. Why, what is your relationship with that Yeluyan?"
Zhang Mingda became frowning and said angrily: "Yeluyan stole this long sword from me."
"Ah!" Xiao Ruoxi's mouth opened wide: "Come on, huh, I just said that Yeluyan doesn't look like a good person. It turned out that he stole other people's things and gave them to me in return. It's really insidious."
"About a year ago, my father went for an outing in the Wangyue Mountain area and accidentally discovered this long sword near the place where the dragon ascended. This long sword is indeed as Her Royal Highness the Princess said, exquisite in workmanship and very powerful. It was so powerful that my father regarded it as a treasure and specially gave it to me. I also like to dance with swords and guns, and occasionally wear this long sword when I go out to play. I didn't want to go out on the street three days ago and bump into Yelu. "Yan, he took a fancy to this long sword, and finally used his power to force me to give this long sword to him." Zhang Mingda said angrily.
"It turned out to be found near the place where the dragon ascended, and it was a year ago." After hearing Zhang Mingda's words, Lin Yan felt excited in his heart: "So, the long sword that Zhang Mingda's father accidentally found was , it’s probably a war sword.”
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yan was confused again.
"But the long sword was taken away by Yeluyan and was given to Her 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 wrong? Problem."
"Could it be that what Zhang Mingda's father discovered was not a war sword? No, this is impossible. If it was not a war sword, then what template was the sword in front of him based on?"
"Could it be."
In the blink of an eye, an idea passed through Lin Yan's mind:
