The person who suddenly appeared and stopped the two's crazy behavior was Lin Yuxia. Jiang Yan once thought that as the only daughter of the Rat King, her combat ability would not be weak, but that was also from a magical level - after all, Lin Yuxia The Origin Stone skill of manipulating sand and stone with his hands had already felt its strong strength even after seeing its prototype. The inheritance of Origin Stone skill was closely related to bloodline, so Jiang Yan once imagined that Lin Yuxia was also a noble master, but he did not expect that Lin Yuxia was also a noble master. Her boxing and kicking skills are so good.
For those moments of intervention just now, there are probably not many people in the entire Longmen who can do better than her.
The iron-eating beast was dragged near his head by Jiang Yan's palm. He felt a little dizzy, but he still subconsciously stood up straight and held his hands towards Lin Yuxia. His voice was full of apology. "What the heroine said is, I am too much." I was too impulsive and forgot to restrain myself for a moment, and I am responsible for this."
On the other side, Huaihu seemed to have exhausted all his strength and did not wake up for a while. Shen Xuan rushed forward to pick up his friend and kept thanking Lin Yuxia. The response he received was neither a scold nor a lecture, just a touch. He just touched her head. After cleaning up the mess, Jiang Yan put down his voice and said hello to Lin Yuxia.
"Thank you, Miss Lin, for your help. I really wasn't sure I could handle the situation on my own just now." Lin Yuxia put her hands on her hips and her voice was as calm as usual. "If I'm not sure how to handle it, I still hope you can control this crisis before it happens. ——If it were my dad, he would definitely say this, but I’m not that rigid after all. I personally hope that Longmen can do more things to stretch his mind and body, but it’s better to avoid such accident-prone situations.”
Jiang Yan can naturally understand. Although she is a new generation, Lin Yuxia's position is still with her father: to safeguard the interests of Longmen. They uphold the rules of the dark side, but this does not mean that they admire those violent and shameless people. It is wise to use human means to avoid trouble when possible. The verbal gratitude has already been expressed. Neither Jiang Yan nor Lin Yuxia is the kind of person who likes to show off, so he went straight to the point:
"About the commission given by the Rat King——"
Lin Yuxia nodded, "Father has received a report on yesterday's situation. You did not arrest the person you wanted to arrest. That's why I came here." At this point, she deliberately changed her official tone. "Your Excellency, your great work has been accomplished. The little girl is here at the request of my father. May I ask if you can honor me and have some tea with me?"
Jiang Yan felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard it, "It's really unnecessary to talk about the scene. I can't stand this kind of tone at all. You mean, the group of people in black raincoats were also present last night?"
Lin Yuxia didn't take it seriously and just waved her hand. "The shadow guards are just like the extension of the power of the night. Even if no accident occurs, obtaining information through these means is just one part of it." Something else flashed across Jiang Yan's eyes. Lin Yuxia added, "Don't blame them too harshly for not taking action. This is also a consideration. They are only responsible to the Rat King, but their actions mean many things. They cannot act without instructions, they are just following orders."
Having said that, Lin Yuxia went straight to the two Rhodes Islanders without much delay. "Although it is my own decision, it is not in line with the etiquette of the Lin family not to entertain guests from afar. I also ask everyone from Rhodes Island to come with me." Come on. Of course, you may be able to find the answer to some of the information you are looking for in the Rat King."
——
Lin Yuxia led Jiang Yan and Hodel to a teahouse facing the street. In Jiang Yan's image, the teahouse was a bit too lively: he originally thought that Lin would like a more secluded and private environment when he was looking for someone to talk to.
In the end, Rhode Island only sent Hodel. Perhaps considering that they wanted to contact the power of Longmen, they did not intend to move everyone to the table, so Hodel, the nominal team leader, went alone. However,
His proficiency in Longmen dialect and Yanguo dialect is not up to the passing level, which should be a big challenge. However, Lin Yuxia said that there is no problem in communicating completely in Victoria, so she can put her mind at ease for the time being.
Ordinarily, each force should have representatives, but when it came to Skadi, Jiang Yan was in trouble. Fortunately, the hunter said that Jiang Yan could represent her identity to meet the Rat King, so that she could be prepared to deal with emergencies at any time. Although Jiang Yan was not
It's easy to imagine what kind of emergency would require such a powerful person to take action, but Skadi's decision not to attend could be considered a favor to him.
He didn't entirely believe that he could control his temper perfectly.
A room upstairs with a window facing the river and the port was Lin's meeting place. Lin had been waiting at the main seat early. When he saw Hodel, the old mouse's eyes shone with interest. He looked at Hodel up and down.
After a while, Lin asked, "Is this young man from Colombia?" He spoke fluently in foreign languages.
Hodel straightened his clothes and acted unnaturally. "It is true, but I don't know if I am a Colombian citizen. I am just a Sakaz man who has been living in a foreign country for a long time." After that, Hodel answered.
Holding his chest, he said, "Dear Rat King, Luo..., well, 'Storm Spear' sends its greetings to you."
"Well, there are quite some rules." Lin stroked his beard, "I guess you have a close relationship with Jiang Shao. He always brings me some unexpected things. Everyone, please sit down and invite you young talents.
Jun drank tea with me, an old man. As I get older, I can't help but want to go out for a walk in such good weather." Lin looked at the window, "Longmen has changed a lot, but it is still the same Longmen as before.
"
Lin Yuxia took action and led Hodel and Jiang Yan to sit on the left and right sides of the Rat King. She took the last seat. Tea cups and various pastries were quickly served, and they were neatly filled with small and medium-sized dishes.
Table. Seeing that Hodel came to Longmen for the first time, Lin introduced the famous food of Longmen in a cordial manner. However, too many things were placed, which created a sense of distance. He turned the tray while talking, like an ordinary old man.
Chattering.
Serve tea, wash cups, pour tea, and thank you. Hodel looked at Jiang Shao who was sitting opposite him a few times and wanted to say something, but because of Jiang Shao's silence, it was not easy to interrupt this enthusiastic old man.
, he had no choice but to chime in and chat. As time passed, he tasted every dish on the table, and there were not many digressions left. Lin Yuxia remained silent, while Jiang Yan still just drank tea and tasted snacks.
, the corner of Hodel's face twitched, Lin narrowed his eyes and looked into the cup.
The old man spoke softly, "It's strange, the tea stem sticks up in the tea soup."
Jiang Yan took a sip of tea and replied calmly, "Yeah, that's still something worthy of congratulations. I don't know much about tea, but it seems that in some places, a tea stem stuck vertically in the tea soup is a good sign."
"Then I accept it without politeness." Lin picked up the tea cup and looked at it for a while, but didn't drink it. "Boy, is this tea snack a little too sweet for your taste? Why don't you say anything today?"
"Mr. Lin is laughing. The tea and refreshments are both of the highest quality. It's just the boy who has a bad appetite. We can't blame them."
"Oh?" Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, "That young man has a bad appetite. Where does he come from?"
"Comes from the heart." Jiang Yan put down the tea cup, took out two scabbards and placed them in front of Lin.
"I wonder if the Rat King can help the boy clear up his doubts: What is the story behind this scabbard and the pattern on the scabbard?"
