Sword eyebrows and thin lips, wheat-colored face with sharp edges and corners, a pair of peach blossom eyes are lazy, but they always seem to be hiding a smile.

It was a face she would never forget.

In her previous life, the last thing that caught her eye was this face and Lu Yanchen's hellish Shura-like appearance.

At that time, he was Lu Yanchen's deputy general.

Ye Tianhuai clearly remembered that Lu Yanchen once called him "Tao Erlong".

This name was so special that it was easily imprinted in Ye Qianhuai's mind.

It turned out that he was the Eagle Guard's person, but how did he become Lu Yanchen's lieutenant?

Ye Tianhuai didn't have time to think, because the moment she called out the name of "Tao Erlong", the other party's expression suddenly changed.

In an instant, the smile in Tao Erlong's eyes turned into a cold blade, and the air in the entire courtyard seemed to condense, as if the sky was overcast.

Then, Ye Tianhuai felt a chill in his neck.

A three-inch-long curved-bladed knife was pressed against her throat.

Tao Erlong, who was holding a knife in one hand, was close at hand, and his eyes stared at Ye Tianhuai like a hungry wolf.

Ye Tianhuai was so shocked by the murderous aura that he took half a step back, and his whole body stiffened.

She didn't see how Tao Erlong appeared in front of her in an instant from ten steps away, let alone how his short knife was unsheathed.

Everything happened quietly, as if because he was so fast that he didn't even have time to react to the wind.

And at the moment when he took out the knife, Lu Yanchen shot out almost at the same time and grabbed his elbow. Lu Yanchen stared at him, his eyes full of chills and warnings.

Tao Erlong was stopped by him and couldn't move in, but his vicious eyes didn't leave Ye Qianhuai, he lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you hear this name?" ”

The voice was full of threat.

Ye Tianhuai's back was already shocked into a cold sweat, his terrifying and weird thing was not only his speed, but also his quietness.

He charged as fast as lightning and had no momentum, but he was able to stop cleanly in between inches.

That's what the poem is all about.

Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light.

Ye Tianhuai subconsciously shrank back half of his body, staring vigilantly at the sharp blade that stopped in his throat, the tip of the knife reflected a dazzling light, faintly revealing bloody gas.

It was probably the first time since she was reborn that she was so close to death.

"Tao Yuan!" Lu Yanchen shouted, his voice as low as a bell, like an angry lion.

Tao Erlong retracted his murderous aura and quickly took a step back. Lu Yanchen saw him retreat, so he let go of the clamp on his hand.

Tao Erlong's right hand waved lightly at the back of his waist, and the sharp knife in his hand disappeared, as if he had changed a trick.

Ye Tianhuai was dumbfounded.

She had never experienced assassination when she was so old, nor had she faced an assassin directly, but just after this one face, Ye Tianhuai instinctively felt that the lazy man in front of her was an assassin.

He himself is like an unsheathed knife.

This was the first time Ye Qianhuai felt the horror of the assassin.

It is no exaggeration to say that if this Tao Yuancai really wants to take her life, she is only afraid that she will be in a different place at the moment.

Even at this moment, he has no sharpness at all, like a harmless ordinary person.

Tao Yuan looked Ye Tianhuai up and down with those peach blossom eyes, and finally his gaze fell on her hanging left arm.

Then, without warning, he suddenly knelt down with his fists in front of Ye Tian's arms, and said, "The grass people are clumsy, and they almost hurt Your Majesty, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

He broke Ye Qianhuai's identity in one word, which made Ye Tianhuai even more surprised. She turned her head sideways and looked at Lu Yanchen with an inquiring gaze.

Lu Yanchen immediately understood, he shook his head, meaning that he had not told Emperor Tao Yuan the news that he was coming.

Ye Tianhuai squinted his eyes slightly, and said in his heart: This Tao Yuan is a bit interesting.

She stepped forward, helped the man up, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Tao Yuan, Li Baoquan once mentioned you to me, and you are really good." Those who do not know are not guilty, so get up quickly. ”

Li Baoquan did mention his name, but Ye Tianhuai didn't expect him to have two names.

Tao Yuan stood up and glanced at Ye Tianhuai, seeing that there was no fear in her eyes, replaced by an appreciative smile, and there was no anger at all.

He lowered his head, hugged his fists again, and said, "Your Majesty has a huge heart, which is admirable. ”

There is no fear of the small people facing the emperor in his words, nor the sycophancy of the courtiers facing the monarch, but there is a bit of the taste of the rivers and lakes in his demeanor.

Cheerful people speak cheerful words. Ye Qianhuai then asked bluntly, "How did you find out my identity?" ”

Tao Yuan showed a somewhat smug smile and said, "That's what the grass people eat this bowl of rice." His Majesty can point to any person on the street, and the grass people can tell His Majesty what he does. ”

After speaking, he looked at the surprised Ye Tianhuai and asked, "How did Your Majesty know the name Tao Erlong?" ”

Ye Tianhuai glanced at Lu Yanchen and saw that his brows were frowning slightly, and his heart was not good.

At this time, I'm afraid that Lu Yanchen doesn't know that Tao Yuan has another name, Tao Erlong, and looking at Tao Yuan's reaction, he seems to be obsessed with this name.

She smiled slightly, relieved the atmosphere, and said, "I can't remember clearly, maybe I heard Li Baoquan inadvertently mention it." ”

Tao Yuan stared at Ye Tianhuai, with a sharp gaze as if he wanted to see her through. There was some suffocating tension in the air.

After a long time, he suddenly smiled lightly and said, "It turned out that Gonggong Li said it." ”

This is the end of the matter. Tao Yuan looked at Lu Yanchen and Ye Tianhuai, and asked, "The two adults are coming to our house today, do you have any advice?" ”

Lu Yanchen and Ye Tianhuai glanced at each other, Ye Tianhuai took out the gold medal, and Lu Yanchen said: "I have already handed over this gold medal to Your Majesty." ”

Surprise flashed in Tao Yuan's eyes, and his gaze wandered back and forth between Lu Yanchen and Ye Tianhuai a few times, as if he was waiting for one of the two to regret it.

But whether it was Ye Tianhuai or Lu Yanchen, their expressions were extremely resolute.

He finally glanced at Lu Yanchen meaningfully, then knelt down and said solemnly to Ye Tianhuai: "The Eagle Guard is in command of Tao Yuan, but it is sent by His Majesty. ”

"Commander Tao, please get up, this is not in the palace, there is no need to be strict about etiquette." Ye Tianhuai helped him up twice, and then looked at him very enthusiastically and said, "It just so happens that I have a few things here that Eagle Guard needs to do." ”

Tao Yuan was slightly stunned, and said in his heart: Got to the point so soon? This little emperor is kind of interesting.

He also smiled and said, "In that case, Your Majesty, please talk upstairs." ”

Ye Tianhuai looked at Lu Yanchen and was about to speak, but Lu Yanchen preemptively said: "The minister went to the front to chat with the old man, and His Majesty and Commander Tao talked slowly." ”

Ye Qianhuai nodded.

Lu Yanchen left quickly, and Tao Yuan smiled at Ye Tianhuai and made a gesture of invitation.

Ye Tianhuai bowed slightly, and then boarded the small building first.

Tao Yuan looked at Lu Yanchen's departing back behind her and sighed silently, shaking his head, with a bit of helplessness and sympathy in his eyes.
