"Then Yeluyan was probably happy to see Lie Xin, and he didn't want to give the battle sword to Xiao Ruoxi, so he secretly refined a long sword that was exactly the same as the war sword. Xiao Ruoxi himself said it before, and Yeluyan knew Xiao Ruoxi very well. According to her personality, Xiao Ruoxi likes long swords, but she doesn't use them herself, so if she uses a long sword that is less effective than a war sword to fool Xiao Ruoxi, as long as it is exquisite in appearance and is exactly the same as a war sword, Xiao Ruoxi will not mind, and soon, Xiao Ruoxi would just throw away the long sword as one of countless gifts, and Yeluyan himself undoubtedly showed it once in front of His Highness the Princess."

Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help feeling that Yeluyan was very sinister.

Moreover, the news that Xiao Ruoxi ordered the execution of Ye Nanqing and Cao Jinshan and paraded them to the public had spread a few days ago. Yeluyan got the sword from Zhang Mingda three days ago, so there was plenty of time to refine it. Take the fakes.

Lin Yan hesitated, whether he should tell Xiao Ruoxi and Zhang Mingda his speculation.

Obviously, even though Xiao Ruoxi has not seen through Yeluyan's "Crossing the Sea", because of Zhang Mingda, Xiao Ruoxi must be very angry at Yeluyan forcibly snatching Zhang Mingda's long sword. If Xiao Ruoxi took Zhang Mingda to Yeluyan's place Asking for an explanation, the matter is bound to become a big mess, and Yeluyan may be really scared out of his wits in the end, and may take out his sword instead.

You must know that the idea of ​​imperial power being superior is deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the imperial city. No matter how insidious Yeluyan was, he would not dare to play any tricks when facing an angry princess.

And if things got to this point, Yeluyan might take out the real battle sword, and either return it to Zhang Mingda, or present it to Xiao Ruoxi.

Neither of these two results was what he hoped to see.

After all, it is true that he wants to get the battle sword, but he can't snatch it from Zhang Mingda or Xiao Ruoxi.

When Lin Yan was in a dilemma, he heard Zhang Mingda say: "Your Highness, although Nayeluyan snatched my long sword, which made me very unhappy, but it happened that the long sword ended up with you, Your Highness. Seeing that Her Royal Highness loves this silver long sword very much, the grass people are not obsessed with the long sword anymore."

Xiao Ruoxi glanced at the long sword on the table, and joked: "Little brother Mingda, you are really willing to bear the pain and give up."

Zhang Mingda smiled magnanimously, with a bold feeling: "Your Highness, my father got this long sword by accident. Seeing that I usually like to wield swords and guns, I gave it to me, and let me take it." Watch it for entertainment, how can you expect to become a master warrior with this long sword, ha ha."

"Besides, although this long sword is exquisitely crafted and imposing, my Zhang family has been scholars for generations, so I don't need it. Since Her Royal Highness likes it, feel free to take it."

Xiao Ruoxi was not polite, took the long sword back, put it back into the scabbard, and said: "In the words of you scholars, you are the beauty of an adult."

Zhang Mingda was terrified: "His Royal Highness is absurd."

"Actually, little brother Mingda, you are still a half-baked warrior among warriors, and you know how to make half-movements, but what about me? Don't look at my appearance as a warrior, I still have the demeanor of a master, but it's just for fun , I usually like to collect some exquisite weapons, and Yeluyan also saw my heart, so he did what he liked and used this very flattering long sword to curry favor with me."

Hearing this, Lin Yan smiled inwardly, and was finally relieved.

"Stop worrying about telling them the truth."

Lin Yan felt very relaxed.

Because on Zhang Mingda's side, it has been regarded as giving the long sword to Her Royal Highness, and it is a gift willingly, and will not pursue it any further.

As for Xiao Ruoxi, Xiao Ruoxi herself said that collecting some exquisite weapons is purely for fun, and it is just for fun. Naturally, no matter whether this long sword is a real sword or a fake, to Xiao Ruoxi, it is just a work of art. With Xiao Ruoxi's character, I'm afraid that after playing for a while, her interest in the long sword will decrease. In the end, the long sword will definitely be shelved like other artworks she collected.

This is why Lin Yan doesn't have to worry about it.

"The real and fake war swords have no effect on Xiao Ruoxi and Zhang Mingda, so I just need to get the war sword from Yeluyan." Lin Yan quickly thought of a way.

Here, after Xiao Ruoxi put away the silver long sword, she naturally wanted to vent her anger for Zhang Mingda.

"This Yeluyan is too lawless. He actually robbed you on the street. What's annoying is that when he presented the long sword to me, he actually said that the long sword was a collection he bought with money. , I'm really pissed off." Xiao Ruoxi cursed angrily.

Zhang Mingda didn't dare to say much.

His Zhang family, even in the face of the domineering governor Yeluyan, can only choose to obey, it is because of the level of power, and now sitting opposite is the majestic princess, and in his capacity, he still dare not answer casually .

Although, he also thought in his heart that Yeluyan could receive some punishment.

It was Xiao Ruoxi who made the final decision.

"Brother Mingda, don't worry, I won't take this matter to trouble Yeluyan, anyway, Yeluyan's reputation in Luohe Prefecture is not very good, I will give a few words of advice to my father, even if I don't Meddling in official affairs, but there will always be someone to check Yeluyan's background, he can't afford to check, once something is found out, he will be in trouble, this is probably a kind of punishment for him."

Xiao Ruoxi spoke in a relaxed tone, but the will contained in the words was very certain.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," Zhang Mingda said.

Xiao Ruoxi solved the matter, and began to think about having fun again.

"Brother Lin Yan, why don't we secretly sneak into Yeluyan's mansion, secretly investigate Yeluyan's crimes, and then let Yeluyan be punished like the crimes of Ye Nanqing and Cao Jinshan before."

Zhang Mingda on the side was completely dumbfounded and petrified.

He would never have believed it if Her Royal Highness the Princess hadn't said it herself. It was Her Royal Highness and Brother Lin Yan who cooperated tacitly to pull down Ye Nanqing, the magistrate of Nancang County, and Cao Jinshan, the richest man in Nancang County.

"His Royal Highness is really crazy." Zhang Mingda murmured in his heart.

Lin Yan smiled, but firmly rejected Xiao Ruoxi's proposal.

What Xiao Ruoxi did was entirely seeking excitement.

But it's unclear whether Yeluyan has committed any crimes, and he doesn't want to accompany Xiao Ruoxi to mess around.

"I'm leaving Zhongzhou City soon." Lin Yan said directly.

"Ah!" Xiao Ruoxi's eyes were full of disappointment.

Originally thought that meeting Lin Yan this time would allow him to seek unique excitement that he couldn't experience in the palace like last time. How could he know that Lin Yan was about to leave Zhongzhou City after only meeting for a while.

But Xiao Ruoxi is not a messy person, besides, she also has business affairs today.

"Brother Lin Yan, remember that if you come to the imperial city in the future, you can go directly to the palace to find me." Xiao Ruoxi said very seriously.

This is not what an ordinary woman said to Lin Yan, but what a majestic princess said.

Zhang Mingda next to him couldn't keep calm no matter what, this is a treatment that many people can't enjoy in their lifetime!He couldn't help feeling extremely envious of Lin Yan.

Of course, Zhang Mingda would not be jealous of Lin Yan.

Because Lin Yan has a good reason for Her Royal Highness to pay attention to it.

Xiao Ruoxi, who was on business, quickly left the restaurant and went to the vegetable market execution ground.

Lin Yan, Zhang Mingda, and Zhang Mingda's two guards finished the banquet and bid farewell to Zhang Mingda.

It was already evening when the group walked out of the restaurant.

Zhang Mingda and the two guards went home directly. Although Lin Yan said that he would travel overnight, in fact, Lin Yan still stayed in the city.

Because the third battle sword has not been obtained yet.

Lin Yan made a plan and decided to go to the mansion of the county guard Yeluyan to take away the real sword.

After finishing this matter, he can leave Zhongzhou City with peace of mind, and he doesn't have a long time to stay in other places. After all, Long Island in Xiaoshui City still gathers a large number of experts from the outer city. He discovered the passage to enter Long Island as soon as he was in the city, he must not miss the opportunity, he must try his best to re-board Long Island.

The night is getting deep soon.

At one o'clock in the morning, everything is silent.

A black figure sneaked into the spacious sheriff's mansion like a ghost.

"Well, not near the main house."

Lin Yan tried several times around the main house where Yeluyan lived, but he didn't feel any induction from the two swords worn on his waist.

This shows that Zhan Jian didn't feel Zhan Jian hidden by Yeluyan.

Two possibilities.

One possibility is that Yeluyan has already taken out the sword from the mansion.

Another possibility is that he is a little far away from the sword, so the sword around his waist cannot sense the same kind.

Lin Yan certainly hoped that it was the second case.

"The main room is not good, then the other rooms."

The ghostly figure quietly began to shift, moving rapidly around the spacious sheriff's mansion.

"How come there is still nothing found."

After searching most of the places where the war sword might be placed, Lin Yan still did not sense the buzzing sound from the war sword at his waist.

"This Yeluyan should only have some knowledge of the shape and sharpness of the war sword. Just like Zhang Mingda, it is unlikely that he will discover the true value of the war sword. After all, no one would have thought that the war sword would be It is a treasure that has been meticulously refined, and as an official, Yeluyan is not a warrior, and if he doesn't understand weapons, he can't think of the matter of recognizing the owner with blood, so he should just regard the sword as a treasure sword."

The figure was lurking in the shadows, Lin Yan was thinking like this.

"As a dignified county guard, Yeluyan has a strong literati air. He should also collect some famous calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and antiques on weekdays. Maybe, he has a special storage place, so the sword should also be in that place."

A light flashed in Lin Yan's mind.

His body flickered, and he headed towards Yeluyan's study again.

In the study, Lin Yan probed and groped for a while, and finally found a mechanism behind a painting hanging on the wall of the study.

After turning on the mechanism, the bookcase on one side of the study was separated from it, revealing the mezzanine.

"Powerful officials like to install secret small coffers, most of which are in bedrooms or study rooms. Fortunately, my luck is not bad. Yeluyan put the small coffers in the study room."

With a smile on Lin Yan's face, his body flashed nimbly and entered the mezzanine.

At his waist, the two battle swords began to hum at the same time.

Very easily, Lin Yan found the third battle sword in the interlayer.

When he came out again, Lin Yan was already wearing three identical battle swords around his waist.

After restoring everything in the study, Lin Yan walked in the night, and soon left the sheriff's mansion.
