"how do I say this?"
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 made the relationship between the two warmer a lot, there are pros and cons to this.
On the plus side, although Lu Hanjiang and A Lan gained each other's goodwill 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 the Sword Forging Villa may be as heroic and courageous as the rumors say. Besides, the Xingxuan Sword was lost this time. They also did not tell anyone else the truth.”
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, and it can only be that Sword Making 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 Lord, 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 commissioned 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 it is the result of casting. The Xingxuan Sword is a rare thing, and they have selfish motives. Hiding is also normal.
This time, A-Lan did not answer immediately, but pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "Yueying, Fenyang, and Xingxuan, my father commissioned Master Gu to cast these three weapons. He not only provided money and goods, but Casting materials, and drawings.”
Lu Hanjiang's eyes narrowed, he sat upright 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 proof."
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. It was so detailed that 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? ? Is it just for a name? I don’t think the girl is such a person."
"Indeed, I don't need the false reputation of a sword master," A Lan smiled with a wink, 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 bit.
Lu Hanjiang lowered his head and glanced at the slightly cold tea, and his words seemed to be evasive: "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 blueprint on the table in the direction of Lu Hanjiang: "I am walking around the world alone and have nothing. Only this blueprint 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 and refilled a cup of hot tea. He picked up the teacup, looked at Ah Lan, and said calmly: "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 candid, which makes me a little embarrassed." Even so, Lu Hanjiang's expression was teasing, as if he was being sarcastic.
The two looked at each other, and A Lan gave a helpless smile, folded the drawings on the table, and smiled 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 said, "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 them, 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: "Young 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 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 a deal?"
"It's a deal." Ah Lan put the two 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 pen sent by the Crown Princess.
At this moment, he was roughly convinced that the "secret" left by Hongchen Guest was inseparable from these three weapons. What disappointed him was that, as the only clue, A Lan seemed to know about it. One does not 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 the palm of his hand.
Now, he has the "key" to unlock the secret left by the guest of mortals. All that remains is to find the "box" where this secret is buried.
As for what is hidden in this "box", Lu Hanjiang has almost guessed it. Based on the importance the Crown Princess attaches to it and the word "immortality" at the end of the guest's note, 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 Hongchen Guest 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 resolve A Lan's matter.
Hongchenke is dead, and apart from his swordsmanship and those four sentences, the only thing he left behind is this daughter. Perhaps A-Lan didn't learn anything from her father, but her existence is a clue for digging.
