Lu Yanchen looked at the gold medal in Ye Tianhuai's hand and said: "There is a pawnshop in Jinxiufang called Huisheng Pawn, the shopkeeper there is surnamed Qiao, Your Majesty can take this gold medal to find him, and then leave a note, the note writes the person or thing Your Majesty wants to check, and agrees on the time on the note." The shopkeeper will take the note. Your Majesty will go to Huisheng Pawn again at the appointed time, and you will get a relevant reward. ”

Ye Tianhuai looked at the gold medal in his hand in disbelief, and then looked at Lu Yanchen.

"They are the Eagle Guards today."

For a while, countless questions sprung up in Ye Tianhuai's mind.

She chose to start with the simplest question: "How many of them are there?" ”

Lu Yanchen shook his head and said, "The specific number of ministers is not clear. But the number of Eagle Guards should be thirty teams, and there are about three to ten people in one team, about one or two hundred. ”

"So where are they usually?"

"There are everywhere, just like ordinary people living in Shengjing City."

"So they're doing some intelligence-gathering work? Did the gentleman ask them for information? ”

Lu Yanchen groaned slightly and said, "That's not all. The Eagle Guard has a unique set of training and inheritance mechanics, and each Eagle Guard is a genius in a hundred, some of them are agile, some are brilliant, and some are stunning. In addition to gathering intelligence, you can also do some assassination or security work. As far as the minister's experience is concerned, they have only missed once, that is, Song Zhe's time. ”

Ye Qianhuai's face was not just surprised, she thought of a lot of things.

"Song Zhe's matter, they didn't miss. I asked Gu Shihai yesterday to confirm that Song Zhe was dead. They can't find it, it's normal. Ye Tianhuai squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yanchen and asked, "Mr. asked them to protect Li Wenqing's family, right?" ”

Lu Yanchen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Ye Tianhuai looked at the gold medal in his hand, and after a long time, he asked him again: "Sir, did you ask them to go to the prison to save Wang Lisong?" ”

Lu Yanchen was stunned for a moment, his expression darkened, he shook his head, and said, "The minister has not used the Eagle Guard to do his own business. On that time in the prison, the minister took the two township party members together. But later, to protect the king's sacrificial wine to Leizhou, the minister entrusted the eagle guard to do it. ”

Ye Qianhuai nodded thoughtfully.

"Mr. has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and he is too careful."

When Lu Yanchen heard Ye Tianhuai's words, his eyebrows and eyes softened, and he said, "The minister has never told His Majesty and Pan, and His Majesty should be suspicious." ”

Ye Qianhuai frowned, Lu Yanchen's words went to what she couldn't figure out the most.

"According to what Mr. said, this Eagle Guard should belong to the imperial family, and it is an intelligence network that the first emperor has been operating and cultivating in Beijing for many years. But why did the imperial examination leave it to Mr.? ”

Such an invincible guard should have been the sharpest sword in the emperor's hand, and the last hole card.

Why did it fall into Lu Yanchen's hands?

Ye Qianhuai didn't understand.

When Emperor Shunping handed over this gold medal to Lu Yanchen, he was just a hairy boy who had just been admitted to the Jinshi, and he had neither proud achievements nor a solid ancestral career, if it weren't for the turmoil in the government and the opposition caused by the Renshen Palace Change, and Ye Tianhuai happened to need an emperor, he couldn't even enter the Taiqing Pavilion, and he could only be a nobody's chief in the military department for the rest of his life.

What did Emperor Shunping fancy about him, so he would hand over such an important thing as Eagle Guard to him.

The unbelievable extent of this matter has already made Ye Tianhuai wonder if Lu Yanchen will be her father's illegitimate son.

Lu Yanchen's expression deepened, and he said, "When the first emperor handed over this gold medal to the minister, the minister also asked this question. The minister asked the first emperor, why didn't he give it to His Majesty? ”

He raised his eyes, looked at Ye Qianhuai and continued: "The first emperor said that this guard is a sharp blade. And a real blade can not only stab the enemy, but also hurt yourself. He asked his ministers to give it to His Majesty when he saw fit. The minister thought that perhaps it was because His Majesty was too young when he was in power, and the first emperor was worried that His Majesty would hurt him, so he did not hand it over directly to His Majesty. And the first emperor asked his ministers to be His Majesty's husband, maybe he also had this intention. ”

Ye Tianhuai looked at the gold medal in his hand, and suddenly felt that its weight was so heavy.

It is always said inside and outside the government and the opposition that before the death of the first emperor, he divided the first assistant Chen Yuansi and the second assistant Gu Shihai to Ye Qianhuai as auxiliary ministers, which is equivalent to Tuo Gu giving him the two of them, but it was not until today that Ye Tinghuai felt that Emperor Shunping obviously gave Lu Yanchen to Tuo Gu.

If this unmissable Eagle Guard is in the hands of powerful ministers, it can spy on them for news, eliminate political enemies, manipulate the situation, and become a help for them to call for wind and rain and turn the clouds and rain.

Emperor Shunping actually handed over such a thing to Lu Yanchen's hands, what kind of trust is this?

He believed that Lu Yanchen would never use it to do evil, and he believed that such a sharp blade would never become a murder weapon in Lu Yanchen's hands.

He actually believed in Lu Yanchen's character so much.

Ye Tianhuai felt incredible.

What's even more incredible is that he actually believed it right.

Confessing to herself, Ye Tianhuai felt that if it was her, she would definitely use the Eagle Guard to rob Wang Lisong from the prison.

How did Lu Yanchen endure it?

She didn't think Lu Yanchen was right to do this, she just thought it was incredible.

According to Lu Yanchen's rigid temperament, if it weren't for Ye Tianhuai's explicit order to let him find a way to save Wang Lisong's life, I'm afraid he wouldn't even let Eagle Guard protect Wang Lisong to Leizhou.

If Wang Lisong died, then many things would become dead and unproven.

Ye Tianhuai thought that this was foolish loyalty and was not advisable.

But this kind of foolish loyalty is Lu Yanchen's code of conduct.

She pondered and asked Lu Yanchen; "Do you think now is the right time, sir?"

Lu Yanchen hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes and no." ”

"Why did you say that, sir?"

"Your Majesty is the time when you need this Eagle Guard the most, so it's the right time. However, it is precisely because His Majesty needs it so much that it is not the right time. ”

He said this awkwardly, but Ye Tianhuai understood what he meant.

She smiled and said, "Sir is worried that I will hurt myself in a hurry." ”

Lu Yanchen didn't speak, acquiescing to her guess.

"Sir, what kind of person can hold such a sharp blade in the hands of a person who can become a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, rather than a murderous thing that hurts others and himself?"

Lu Yanchen raised his head and looked directly at Ye Tianhuai, his eyes were as deep as night, but they were shining with bright starlight.

"The master of the sword technique once said to the minister that when there are people and things in the heart that you want to protect, the knife in your hand can be invincible. A real weapon is not only for killing, but also for protection. When every killing intent in His Majesty's heart is for protection, he will be able to hold all the sharp blades in this world. ”
