Chapter 85 Shadowless Needle?
"The emperor asked me to ask you, who have you offended before?" When he arrived in the hall, Shangguan Wan'er looked solemn and asked in a gentle voice.
Who have I offended? Zhang Lin thought to himself, before traveling through time, I offended a lot of people, otherwise, how could I fall off a cliff and die? Could it be that all the people I offended have crossed over and rushed to the palace to assassinate me? It is unlikely.
As for whom he had offended, how could Zhang Lin know? He only knew that he had some conflicts with his elder Zhang Jianzhi when he was trying to leave the palace.
"You know, I didn't offend anyone, I just had a small conflict with Mr. Zhang Jianzhi. You were there at that time... But I don't believe that he would assassinate me because of this little thing." Zhang Lin told the truth.
"I'll show you something." Shangguan Wan'er said quietly, taking out a small box from her sleeve and opening it in front of Zhang Lin. An extremely thin iron needle was exposed in the box, about an inch long, with silver light and murderous aura.
"What is this?" Zhang Lin asked in confusion.
"This is the hidden weapon sent by the assassin to you...the common name is Shadowless Needle, taken out of my inner box of the pipa." Shangguan Wan'er held the needle in the box and shook it in front of Zhang Lin's eyes, telling him seriously.
"Ah~, Shadowless Needle?" Zhang Lin took a breath. Fortunately, Shangguan Wan'er blocked it with a pipa at that time. Otherwise, if he was stabbed to the vital point, he would not know how to die if he was stabbed to death. Zhang Lin was a little familiar with Shadowless Needle, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen or seen it.
"Assassin can shoot such a small needle from a distance, and his skills are extremely profound, he must be a martial arts master." Shangguan Wan'er's face showed a thoughtful look, and the scene of the shadowless needle flying at that time appeared in her mind. She was recalling and trying to re-outline the flight trajectory of the shadowless needle in her mind.
"Martial Arts Master?" Zhang Lin's heart trembled. When did I offend a martial arts master?
"So, Mr. Zhang can rule out that he is a civil servant, and he can be described as "nothing can be tied up with chickens."
"No one offended me except Mr. Zhang."
"You think about it again."
"Well~" Zhang Lin touched his chin, walked around the hall, pretending to think. He knew nothing about what happened before his predecessor entered the palace. He was thinking a ghost, but he had to pretend to be in front of Shangguan Wan'er, otherwise he would seem too unserious. Of course, he was also thinking, searching his mind for his impression of the shadowless needle, but there was no trace.
Shangguan Wan'er was very calm and looked at Zhang Lin calmly.
Zhang Lin thought for a while, finally shook his head and told Shangguan Wan'er clearly: "I really can't remember."
Shangguan Wan'er did not ask any further, put the shadowless needle into the box and put it away.
"Xiaomei, go and get the soft armor of the golden silkworm." Zhang Lin ordered Xiaomei who was serving him.
"Yes." Xiaomei agreed and entered the inner bedroom. Soon after, she held the soft armor of the golden silkworm in her hands and came to Zhang Lin.
"Golden Silkworm Soft Armor?" Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light, and a unique smile hung on the corner of her mouth. "This soft armor is woven with top-quality Tian Silk and top-grade black gold silk. It is extremely tough and invulnerable. Even Duke of Hengguo Ye has no chance to get it. Your Majesty actually gives you it. It shows that Your Majesty's concern for you is much greater than that of others."
"Sir Shangguan, don't make fun of me." After hearing Shangguan Wan'er's words, Zhang Lin felt a little embarrassed, feeling uncomfortable all over, and didn't know where to put his hands.
"I'm joking with you, don't take it to your heart." Shangguan Wan'er quickly changed her words, "The Duke of Hengguo Ye has received countless treasures, most of which are more expensive than this soft armor. Besides, they are always in the palace and do not need this soft armor. If they are also attacked by assassins this time, this soft armor will not be your turn."
"It's almost the same for you to say this." Zhang Lin laughed, then looked solemn and said seriously: "Sir Shangguan, you have damaged your beloved pipa in order to protect me. I heard that the pipa is priceless and extremely precious. I really feel sorry for it. This golden silkworm soft armor is passed on to you, which is considered as compensation for damage to the pipa."
What? He handed over the soft golden silkworm armor given by the emperor to Shangguan Wan'er? Did the proofreader be shocked by the assassination incident? This is a great crime of disrespect! The palace maids and eunuchs in Cuiyang Palace all showed surprise and confusion in their eyes, and looked at each other.
Yan'er's idea was that Zhang Lin had fallen in love with Sister Wan'er, otherwise, how could he give the gift from the emperor? But this is too ridiculous. You are the emperor's person and you will not have any fate with Sister Wan'er in your life!
Even the eunuchs and palace maids knew the serious consequences of the transfer of the gift from the imperial gift. How could Shangguan Wan'er not know? How could she accept this gift? Wouldn't that kill Zhang Lin?
"I have received your intentions. I have a lot of pipa. It's not a big deal to damage it!" Shangguan Wan'er was moved, but a very stern expression appeared on her face, warning: "The gift given by the emperor cannot be transferred to others! You must know this, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
"It's not so exaggerating!" Zhang Lin spread his hands and said as if nothing had happened, "I think you need this golden silkworm soft armor more. Because you blocked the assassin's hidden weapon and thwarted their conspiracy, they are likely to hold a grudge against you and do behavior that is unfavorable to you."
"This is not possible!" Shangguan Wan'er said sternly.
"Since that's the case, let's change something." Zhang Lin had no choice but to turn his head to look at the eunuch Gao Lishi, and asked them to take the thousand-year-old snow lotus and give it to Shangguan Wan'er.
If you don’t repay your kindness, this is not Zhang Lin’s style. Zhang Lin personally thinks that Xuelian is the best gift he has received these days, and naturally he has to repay the best things for his life-saving benefactor.
"How come there is a snow lotus in your palace?" Shangguan Wan'er did not accept it, but said in surprise. Shangguan Wan'er had a little knowledge of the rumors that the gift-giving person stepped through the threshold of the Cuiyang Palace, but she did not believe that those who greeted Zhang Lin would take out such a valuable item, so she asked this question.
"It was given by someone else." Zhang Lin said embarrassedly.
"No." Shangguan Wan'er refused, her tone as firm as iron.
"Since that's the case, then forget it. I'll repay you when I have the chance..." Zhang Lin guessed that Shangguan Wan'er might not like the things she had transferred. He didn't force anyone to do anything, so he could only give up the idea of repaying her for the time being and slowly plan for it in the future.
"What kind of repayment! I will ignore you if I mention this matter in the future!" Shangguan Wan rolled her eyes at Zhang Lin, as if she was unhappy.
"Okay, don't mention it." Zhang Lin quickly agreed, and he said to himself, "When I get rich or become rich, I will find a way to repay you."
"This is quite reasonable!" Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said goodbye. When she arrived at the gate of the hall, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Zhang Lin, and asked seriously: "Can you tell me now? What did you say to Shibi Khan before singing?"
"I will talk to them Turkic words." Zhang Lin said frankly.
"You can speak Turkic words?" Shangguan Wan'er was half-believing and half-doubting.
"Yes."
"Precise!" Shangguan Wan'er was in awe and turned to look at Zhang Lin, with admiration in her eyes.
"Where are there." Zhang Lin raised his hand and grabbed the back of his head, and said modestly, "At the beginning, seeing so many Turkic envoys unable to understand my Turkic words, I was embarrassed, and I thought the Turkic words I learned were fake."
At that time, Shangguan Wan'er was next to Zhang Lin and witnessed the panic reaction of the Turkic envoy when he heard Zhang Lin's speech. At that time, she felt a little puzzled. At that time, someone in the Turkic envoy said the same thing Zhang Lin said, and that person should be a general translator.
"The Turkic envoys do not understand Turkic words and need to translate through the interpreter. This is very strange." Shangguan Wan'er's pretty eyebrows frowned, her eyes showed a thoughtful look, and she said to herself.
"Can they not be Turkic?" Zhang Lin couldn't help but say his guess. If no one could understand the Turkic words he said, then he would think that the Turkic words he learned were fake. Since one person could understand but the others could not understand, it only means that those who did not understand were not Turkic people...
