After listening to A Lan's words, Lu Hanjiang already made some plans in his mind, but it also depends on the other party's attitude.
To put it bluntly, although the relationship between the two is good, it can only go so far. Although Lu Hanjiang's cooperative attitude with her regarding Yan Fengyun's matter has heated up the relationship a lot, there are pros and cons to this.
On the plus side, although Lu Hanjiang and A Lan gained each other's favor because they cooperated to deal with Yan Fengyun, at the same time, this kind of thing that unites outsiders to attack one of their own is already very scary.
Even if A Lan is generous and doesn't care about this, even if there is no grudge left, he will still be on guard after all.
On this side, Lu Hanjiang didn't seem to care, and asked calmly: "Since it is a weapon that your father entrusted the Sword Casting Villa to forge during his lifetime, isn't it natural for you to take it back? Does the Sword Casting Villa not recognize it?"
After Lu Hanjiang asked, A Lan thought for a moment, but shook his head: "I don't trust them. My father said that people's minds change, and not everyone in Zhujian Villa may be as heroic and courageous as the rumors say. Besides, the Xingxuan Sword was lost this time.
They also did not explain the truth to others."
After listening to what A Lan said, Lu Hanjiang thought for a while and said tentatively: "Did the girl misunderstand? Maybe they were worried about being guilty of having a jade, so they kept silent?"
A Lan shook his head again and said with a firm tone: "After I learned that the Xing Xuan Sword was lost, I asked to visit the disciple who stole the sword, but was refused. I also asked several disciples of the Sword Forging Villa in private.
, they all know only a little bit about this matter, I guess it can only be that Zhujian Villa has blocked the news."
Lu Hanjiang muttered a little, pretending to be hesitant and said: "Miss A Lan, please forgive me for speaking frankly, although these three weapons were forged by the Sword Forging Villa entrusted by your Majesty, if they really intend to seize this Xingxuan, it seems that you have no choice.
Deal with it."
It is true as he said. After all, if Hongchen Guest entrusted the casting of weapons and only provided money, if the Sword Forging Villa is acting rogue, they can just take out a weapon and say that it is the result of casting. The Xingxuan Sword is a rare thing and they have selfish motives.
Hiding is normal.
This time, A-Lan did not answer immediately, but pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "Yueying, Fenyang, and Xingxuan, my father commissioned Master Gu to cast these three weapons. Not only did he provide money and goods,
Casting materials and drawings.”
Lu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed, he sat up slightly, narrowed his eyes and said: "There is a lot to say about money, casting materials, and sword-making villa, but if there are blueprints... it won't work. How can a girl win the trust of the world with her one-sided words?"
.”
"I have evidence."
A Lan's words were so surprising that he even took out an old piece of silk cloth from his arms and spread it out on the table.
Lu Hanjiang took a closer look, and found that it contained dense descriptions of the casting methods of the three weapons, as well as diagrams of the molding of the three weapons. The details were appropriate, and this drawing alone was enough to be called a treasure.
"The presence of this object can indeed prove that the Xingxuan Sword belongs to the girl."
After saying that, Lu Hanjiang withdrew his gaze, relaxed and leaned back on the chair, and said calmly: "It's just that the Xingxuan Sword has been lost long ago. Since it is not in Zhujian Villa, what is the meaning of what the girl said?
?Could it be that you just want a name? I don’t think this girl is such a person."
"That's true. Of course I don't need the false reputation of a sword master," A Lan blinked and smiled, but his eyes were more serious: "What I want is the disciple of the ancient master."
As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a few points.
Lu Hanjiang lowered his head and glanced at the slightly cold tea, and seemed to be evading in his words: "Zhujian Villa has been standing in the world for many years. It seems not easy to take away a human life from their hands."
"That's why I came to look for Mr. Lu."
A Lan pushed the drawing on the table in the direction of Lu Hanjiang: "I am walking alone in the rivers and lakes, and I have nothing. Only this drawing can be used. If Mr. Lu is willing to agree, I will use this as a thank you gift."
.”
Lu Hanjiang poured out the cold water, filled a cup of hot tea again, picked up the tea cup, looked at Ah Lan, and said indifferently: "Miss Ah Lan, what you did is strange, since you didn't hesitate to offend Zhujian Villa in order to take back the secret.
, why did you take out this drawing as a condition of the transaction?"
A Lan said unhappily: "The materials used to cast the three weapons are very rare. I am afraid that the key parts of the materials have not been found in the world for a long time. Therefore, although this blueprint is precious, apart from the craftsmanship in it,
Other than that, it’s basically useless.”
"The girl is so frank, which makes me a little embarrassed." Even so, Lu Hanjiang's expression was teasing, which seemed to be sarcastic.
The two of them looked at each other, and A Lan gave a helpless smile, folded the drawings on the table and put them away, smiling sweetly: "If I have to say it, it's because I don't like the people at Zhujian Villa, so I don't want these things to fall into place.
It’s in their hands.”
Lu Hanjiang smiled and chuckled: "Although these words are irrelevant, it seems like what a girl would do."
As he said that, Lu Hanjiang picked up the drawing, which meant that he agreed to Ah Lan's conditions, but he asked one more question: "It's just that, Miss Ah Lan, your father is famous in the world of mortals, and Master Gu Ming is also famous.
With these blueprints, weapons, and the 'secret treasure' behind you, aren't you afraid that I, too, may have evil intentions?"
A Lan held the pair of swords in his hands and looked at them, and said softly: "Master Lu, don't worry too much. After my father died, no one knew this secret. Maybe the Huangfu family could find out a little bit, but without the Moon Shadow Burning Sun Xuan San
Using the sword as support is also like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror."
"That's true." Lu Hanjiang put the drawings away with a meaningful smile.
Ah Lan looked at Lu Hanjiang, curled up the corner of his mouth, and said with a carefree smile: "Master Lu, if one day you really find the Xingxuan Sword and want to find out the secret behind it, I am willing to help you."
Lu Hanjiang raised his head to look at A-Lan who was standing up, and raised his palm: "Miss A-Lan is so chic, then it's settled?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's a deal." Ah Lan put the swords on his back, stretched out his hands, and the two high-fived each other as an oath.
After getting the promise she wanted, A Lan left. After she left, Lu Hanjiang silently opened the drawing, and then took out the Hongchen guest's pen sent by the Crown Princess.
At this moment, he was roughly convinced that the "secret" left by the guest of mortals was inseparably connected with these three weapons. But what disappointed him was that, as the only clue, A-Lan seemed to know about it too.
One doesn't know the other.
But it is better than nothing. Yueying Fenyang has A Lan in his custody, and Xing Xuan is in his hands. It is basically equivalent to holding the tool that unlocks this secret in his palm.
Now, he has the "key" to unlock the secret left by the guest of mortals, and all that remains is to find the "box" in which this secret is buried.
As for what is hidden in this "box", Lu Hanjiang has already guessed it. Based on the importance the Crown Princess attaches to it and the last word "immortality" left by the guest in the world, it must be related to the seven treasures.
Just for the sake of himself and others, Lu Hanjiang didn't think that the Crown Princess would believe in immortality. Even if the other party believed in it, the possibility of having fun with it was far higher than the possibility of her pursuing immortality.
The Crown Princess is fighting for this thing even if her trump card is exposed, and the additional meaning it contains is likely to exceed the efficacy of the treasure itself.
For example, the Holy Spirit Gu, although its essence is one of the seven secret treasures of immortality, it also has miraculous effects. For example, it can command the Miao people by complying with Miao Jiang's "prophecy".
Therefore, there is a high probability that the things left by the guest in the world have similar meanings, so in order to unlock the secrets, Lu Hanjiang will have to stay at Zhujian Villa for a while, and at least solve A Lan's matter.
Hongchenke is dead, and apart from his swordsmanship and those four sentences, the only thing he left behind is his daughter. Maybe A-Lan didn't learn anything from her father, but her existence is a clue for digging.
