Zhuque was worried because the man had been inside for so long, so she wanted to come in and check on him. But before she could even say a word, Li Chang'an turned to leave.
"Go to the Regent's Palace and have a talk with Feng Beichuan!"
Li Chang'an answered without hesitation.
This made Suzaku even more terrified.
She didn't know what Li Chang'an meant by this, and she suspected that he might have suffered some kind of trauma, which led to his current abnormal behavior.
Before she could even come to her senses, she saw Li Chang'an turn back.
This time, Li Chang'an was followed by two other people.
These two people are actually Tao Yaojun and Yi Yangshanren.
"Zhuque, you can go out now. We have important matters to discuss."
Li Chang'an said to Zhuque.
"Um... okay then."
Zhuque nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Tao Yaojun and the other person behind Li Chang'an, who both had serious expressions. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
However, she had no right to interfere in other people's affairs, so she could only leave with a belly full of doubts.
After Zhuque left, Li Chang'an invited the two guests to sit down, and then got straight to the point: "I wonder what brings you two here so late?"
Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere had become somewhat oppressive, Tao Yaojun chuckled and said, "It's nothing serious, we don't need to be so serious. It's just about that dagger from last time. After I talked to Yi Yangshanren about it, we made some discoveries, but there are still some issues that we can't be sure of, which is why we've come to bother Your Highness so late."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "What have you two discovered?"
This time, Tao Yaojun remained silent, while Yi Yangshanren beside him stroked his goatee and said unhurriedly, "Your Highness, would you mind showing me that dagger?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out the Xuanmang sword and its sheath from his waist and handed it to the other party.
Yi Yangshanren reached out and took Xuanmang. He carefully examined it in his hand, then his expression changed slightly, as if he had made a discovery. He then drew the dagger from its sheath.
So Li Chang'an and Tao Yaojun watched as Yi Yangshanren brandished the dagger in the air, and then he squinted and examined it carefully under the light of the lamp hanging on the ceiling.
A moment later, Yi Yangshanren stroked his goatee, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then slowly reached out to fiddle with the strips of cloth wrapped around the hilt of the dagger.
Upon seeing this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
It seems he has discovered something and wants to untie these strips of cloth.
However, Li Chang'an had specially learned a special technique to wrap these strips of cloth, which not only made them difficult to unravel, but also ensured that the object was tightly bound together.
In addition, these strips of cloth had been wrapped around the dagger for a long time, causing the original texture on it to become blurred and indistinct. For a while, it was impossible to find where to untangle these strips of cloth.
However, Yi Yangshanren was not hesitant at all. After taking a look, he found that it was too troublesome to untie this thing. So, as if by magic, he pulled out a smaller blade from somewhere and quickly cut off all the strips of cloth wrapped around the dagger.
In the blink of an eye, only a small pile of dirty, old rags remained on the table.
What are you doing?
Tao Yaojun, who was watching from the side, was puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
Yi Yangshanren did not answer him, but turned to look at Li Chang'an, then grinned and said, "I'm sorry to have offended you and ruined the chain you worked so hard to make."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an's expression changed slightly. He then looked at the mysterious light in Yi Yangshanren's hand. At this moment, the dagger had revealed most of its original form.
To be honest, after hiding the dagger under those strips of cloth for so long, Li Chang'an had almost forgotten what it originally looked like.
Then, Li Chang'an waved his hand and said calmly, "That's alright, but I wonder what discovery this humble one has made?"
Li Chang'an has always been an honest person. Moreover, she felt that someone as powerful as the other party must know everything from astronomy to geography. She figured that the other party probably already knew where the dagger came from without her having to remind him.
Upon hearing this, Yi Yangshanren simply smiled without saying a word, offering no direct answer. He then took the dagger in his hand and examined it carefully before saying to Li Chang'an, "Why conceal the brilliance of such a fine weapon?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an lowered his eyes and did not answer the other party's question.
What kind of riddle are you two playing?
Now only Tao Yaojun was left listening to their inexplicable conversation.
Unfortunately, although he was not ashamed to ask questions and was eager to find the answer, no one paid any attention to him.
Then Yi Yangshanren said calmly, "The patina on this blade is also very well done. It not only does not affect its use, but it is also completely integrated with the original blade, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake."
Upon hearing this, Tao Yaojun was even more surprised.
What kind of patina?
Why can't he understand this person at all?
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an merely raised the corners of his lips slightly before saying, "You certainly have a good eye. The patina on this blade was indeed created by a master who has been in seclusion for many years. It's just a pity that due to some accident, a piece of the patina at the tip of the blade was damaged, and now it seems there's no way to repair it, which is why I found that master to fix it."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yangshanren immediately turned his gaze to the tip of the dagger.
Sure enough, there was a very small defect at the tip of the dagger. Only by looking closely could one see through the defect that the original black of the blade was faintly visible.
"This dagger is called Xuanmang, an ancient divine weapon. No wonder Your Highness disguised it. He probably didn't want someone knowledgeable to recognize it and cause unnecessary trouble."
Yi Yangshanren said with a profound and unfathomable expression.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an simply smiled faintly and then said, "You are indeed brilliant, but you should be the one who knows its value best, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yi Yangshanren stroked his beard and laughed heartily, then said, "Not at all, I'm just old and have seen a lot, so I only know a little bit."
