"Little Tao, I'm back."

Xiao Tao heard the familiar voice, her face was happy at first, and the next moment it turned cloudy, and her face was gloomy.

When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he was inexplicably empty in his heart.

He trotted all the way into the house, sat down next to Xiao Tao, who was cleaning, and took out a set of rouge gouache and handed it over as if offering a treasure.

"Little Sister Peach, this is made by me personally picking flowers and grinding, it is completely non-toxic, you can try it."

Xiao Tao looked at him suspiciously and asked with a look of disbelieving.

"That's what you did!"

Ye Yuan immediately patted his chest and reassured.

"Little Tao, how could I lie to you, this is really what I did, if you don't believe it, you can inquire all over the capital to see which one is exactly the same as mine."

Xiao Tao saw that Ye Yuan said it so seriously, so she believed it in her heart, but she still had complaints about Ye Yuan in her heart.

Although she accepted the gift, she had not forgiven him so easily.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan reached out and hugged her and explained.

"Sister Xiao Tao, this time it's all my fault for the intelligence officer, the time estimate is too inaccurate, and I came back so late."

Xiao Tao said dissatisfiedly.

"Hmph, it's not this, didn't you promise me before, you don't participate in dangerous things, only let your subordinates, you go to the desert this time, I'm always scared..."

Xiao Tao said and spoke, becoming more and more resentful, and tears flowed down her eyes.

Ye Yuan looked very distressed, and quickly hugged her tighter, and patted her back to comfort her.

"Sister Xiao Tao, I'll be fine, I brought 40,000 troops with me this time, and it's very safe..."

After a while, Ye Yuan heard the sound of soothing breathing.

…

West Plant Dungeon.

Ye Yuan slowly walked to the innermost room, which was the cell where the first prisoner of Xichang was held.

Seeing the arrival of the overseer, Pei Lun, who was still comfortably smoking cigarettes, immediately extinguished the cigarette and greeted him.

"The Overseer..."

Ye Yuan waved his hand, stopped him from saluting, and asked.

"Did you find anything out of the ordinary?"

Pei Lun's face was as usual, and he replied very calmly.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary, but..."

Ye Yuan understood that he must have discovered something and asked.

"Say it."

Ye Yuan pushed open the prison door, and at this time, the former Shangshan Supervisor was sitting in the corner, curled up.

After a month of Wu Jiajia's treatment, his severely tortured and tattered body finally recovered a lot, and he was able to move and live normally.

It's just that he only entered the dungeon and didn't say a word, as if he was completely dead.

Even when Ye Yuan, the enemy, appeared in front of him, he didn't have any abnormal reaction, his eyes were still dull, and there was not even a trace of emotional ups and downs in his eyes.

It's just that if he really had a dead heart, he wouldn't be alive by now!

Pei Lun followed and replied.

"Yes, Overseer, it's just that there's nothing out of the ordinary, it's the most suspicious. Now there are only two possibilities, the first is that things are as simple as that, there is no hidden secret, and the second is that there is a force to erase his information. ”

Before the words fell, the old eunuch suddenly closed his eyes

Ye Yuan suddenly knew what to expect, and asked with a smile.

"Which one do you think it is?"

"The subordinates thought it was the second type."

Ye Yuan heard the sound of "Dongdong" that became faster, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and agreed.

"I think so too, Pei Lun, which force do you think did it?"

Pei Lun thought for a while and replied very cautiously.

"In the capital, the only forces that can do it are Dongchang, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Master of Ceremonies, and... Dragon Guard. ”

Pei Lun saw that his overseer did not make a sound, so he consciously analyzed.

"Dongchang sent people over, the possibility is extremely small, with the power of the celebrant supervisor, what he wants to do on the surface is very simple, it is impossible to have no movement until now, only the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Dragon Guardian Villa are the most likely."

Pei Lun was a little nervous, after all, he wasn't sure if his speculation was right.

Ye Yuan listened to the old eunuch's extremely violent heartbeat, everything understood, and he whispered to himself.

"People can control many things, their faces, expressions, and even their eyes, but most people can't control their heartbeat."

At this time, the old eunuch couldn't disguise anymore, his eyes widened, and he looked at Ye Yuan with a shocked expression, as if he was looking at a devil.

Ye Yuan smiled, reaffirmed the idea in his heart, and he commanded loudly.

"Pei Lun, strictly investigate the Shang Shan Supervisor and see if anyone still has contact with the Dragon Guardian Villa."

Pei Lun was stunned for a moment and immediately replied.

"Yes."

The old eunuch's eyes were suddenly full of fear, and his lips trembled, and he wanted to say something.

Ye Yuan stood up and said.

"Okay, now you have no value whether you open your mouth or not, old fellow, cherish these last days."

He's going to kill me!

That was the only thought in the old eunuch's mind, and he broke down.

Ye Yuan got up and left without hesitation, without looking back.

At the moment when Pei Lun was about to close the prison door, the old eunuch finally couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted in a hoarse and eager voice.

"Rain... Overseer, wait! ”

Ye Yuan turned around and looked at him quietly, and didn't speak.

The old eunuch was very conscious and pleaded.

"Overseer, I can tell you everything, but you have to promise me one condition."

"Hehe..."

Ye Yuan sneered, turned his head and was about to leave.

The old eunuch finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke down and shouted.

"I can't die, I can't die!"

Ye Yuan was a little interested, turned around and asked.

"Why?"

"My brother's family has been erased by the gods, once I die, there is no value, they are afraid..."

Thinking that if something happened to his younger brother's family, he would really be dead, and the old eunuch felt sad in his heart.

"As long as you send my brother's family out of Daming, I will tell you everything."

Ye Yuan smiled and said undoubtedly.

"Yes, but I want you to tell me everything you know now."

The old eunuch smiled bitterly, but he had no choice but to tell the truth.

In fact, his position as the commander of Shangshan is based on the help of the Iron Courage Divine Marquis.

The last palm seal of Shangshan Jian was only sixty years old when he died, and he said to the outside world that he died of old age, but in fact it was not.

You must know that the previous palm seal was a super-first-class master, and with his profound skills, it is not a problem to live to the age of eighty or ninety.

Unfortunately, he got in the way.

Then, the silent "old" died.

Originally, everything had fallen into place, and the old eunuch could be smoothly promoted from admiral to palm seal.

It's a pity that halfway through, Ye Yuan hugged Wan Guifei's thighs and directly parachuted into Shang Shanjian, easily snatching the position of the palm print, making the plan of the Iron Courage Shenhou fall through.

Actually, the old eunuch didn't know much about the Iron Courage Shenhou.

After all, he is not a henchman cultivated by the Iron Courage Shenhou since childhood, and he cannot be completely trusted.

The task given to him by the Iron Courage God Marquis is to climb up, climb up desperately, gain higher power, and then provide convenience and cover for one person and one thing.

As for the rest, it is not his charge, and he is not allowed to inquire about it.

Listening to me, Ye Yuan nodded thoughtfully, his mind racing.

The most important thing to figure out at the moment is.

What exactly does the Iron Courage God Marquis want to do?

That person... What has been done before?

The purpose of the Iron Courage God Marquis has been achieved, or has it not been achieved?

It's all a problem.

Ye Yuan thought hard to no avail, shook his head helplessly, and muttered softly.

"I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, and people's hearts are separated from their stomachs."
