"I see." Tao Yao suddenly realized.

No wonder Lu Jiuyuan appeared in such a timely manner.

Lu Jiuyuan still felt scared at this time, but fortunately, the thief's purpose of kidnapping Tao Yao was something else.

Thinking about it, his slender fingers touched the left side of her face with pity.

When I found her, half of her face was swollen, and she is still a little swollen.

Thinking of the hardships she endured, he blamed himself very much.

It was he who didn't protect her.

At that time, he took care of the evacuation of the people on the Queqiao Bridge and left her alone, which gave the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of her and take her away.

Tao Yao grabbed his hand and said in a relaxed tone, "It doesn't hurt at all, really."

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he sighed and stretched out his hand to hold her tightly.

"By the way, what's on that letter?" Tao Yao asked instead.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and said lightly: "The letter said that if I want you to be safe, I will exchange the tiger talisman for you, and the letter also explains the place and time of the exchange."

Hearing this, Tao Yao was silent, although she had already known the result, she still couldn't help but ask, "Then you...... Will you trade the Tiger Talisman for me?"

With that, she held her breath and waited to hear him answer in the negative.

But even though she knew the answer a long time ago, she still couldn't help but hold a trace of fantasy and expectation in her heart.

What a stupid thing.

For Lu Jiuyuan, the tiger talisman was something more important than his life, how could he exchange the tiger talisman for her?

Thinking about it, she felt a little lost in her heart, and was about to divert the topic, but she heard the man's deep voice in her ear, "Yes!"

So determined, and without hesitation.

This unexpected answer made Tao Yao Huoran raise his head and look at him in surprise.

She blinked, thinking she had misheard, and asked in a daze, "What?"

The corners of Lu Jiuyuan's lips hooked, and he raised his hand and touched her head, "I will exchange the tiger talisman for you."

Now, Tao Yao finally made it clear.

Although this answer made her very happy, it was very untrue.

How is this possible?

The Tiger Talisman is so important.

He must have coaxed her, right?

Thinking so, she also asked, "Why, isn't the Tiger Talisman very important to you?" And if you lose the Tiger Talisman, the emperor will definitely condemn you."

"I know, but no one can take the tiger talisman from my hand unless I voluntarily." Lu Jiuyuan's tone was firm.

Tao Yao looked at him stunned, "What?"

Lu Jiuyuan patiently explained, "I will hand over the Tiger Talisman first, stabilize the enemy, and then take the Tiger Talisman back when you are safe."

"But what if you can't get it back?" Tao Yao couldn't help but ask.

"Not that way." Lu Jiuyuan's tone was confident.

"And what if there is?" Tao Yao asked unrelentingly.

Lu Jiuyuan sighed, "Then I can only let my wife face prison with me."

"Are you serious?" Tao Yao raised his head in his arms and asked.

"What?" Now, it was Lu Jiuyuan's turn to be puzzled.

Tao Yao snuggled up to his chest, tugged at his shirt and said, "You really want to exchange the tiger talisman for me? In your heart, I am more important than the Tiger Talisman?"

"Well, of course you're more important." Lu Jiuyuan caressed her back and said softly.

Tao Yao feels so unreal, so illusory.

But Lu Jiuyuan would not be the one to coax her with this kind of thing.

But that's a tiger talisman......

"But I feel so unreal, are you coaxing me?" She muttered quietly.

Lu Jiuyuan heard this, and said with a smile: "First of all, I have the confidence to be able to snatch the Tiger Talisman back, and secondly, although the Tiger Talisman is important, it is not more important than you.

After all, it is impossible for me to hold the tiger talisman for the rest of my life, and I can't say that tomorrow the emperor will take the tiger talisman away under the pretext of taking it away.

But you're different, you're the one who wants to accompany me through my life.

Do you understand when I say that?"

Tao Yao's heart was dirty, "bang", and jumped.

There is no more beautiful love story than this.

Is her position in Lu Jiuyuan's heart already so important?

She felt sweetness in her heart, and felt that all this was so unreal.

"Huh?" Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Jiuyuan's slender fingers rubbed on her chin.

"Understood." Tao Yao buried his face in his arms and snickered.

How lucky she was to marry such a man.

What to do, she seems to like him more again.

Thinking of something, she looked up from his arms, "By the way, those thieves are Khitans, and there are three of them, have they all been caught?"

"Three?" Lu Jiuyuan frowned, "Wu Ze, they only caught two."

Tao Yao's heart sank, "It's three, what do the two you caught look like?" Take me to see it."

Lu Jiuyuan thought of the two thieves who had become bloody people, and shook his head, "Don't go."

"Why?" Tao Yao was puzzled, "I want to know which two you caught."

Lu Jiuyuan naturally didn't want her to be frightened, so he said, "I'll tell you the same, when Wu Ze caught them, one of them was injured in the arm, and the other was injured in the eye."

After Tao Yao heard this, he understood, and frowned, "Then there is one of the most cunning ones that has not been caught, that person is the one who captured me, and that person is their boss and their leader."

Lu Jiuyuan's dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Don't worry, I will let people arrest them with all my might."

Tao Yao thought for a while and said, "I'll try it, draw a portrait of that person, there is a portrait, and it can be better arrested."

"Okay." Lu Jiuyuan nodded, and someone brought a pen and paper.

Tao Yao's painting skills are not bad, and he soon drew the outline of the cold man's face, and even the body shape was drawn very carefully.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at it and understood, "This person is the number one warrior of the Khitan, General Aku, and I have fought against him. Unexpectedly, this time he actually infiltrated Dayan himself."

"Is it so powerful?" Tao Yao was surprised.

"What?" Lu Jiuyuan looked at her.

Tao Yao pointed to his face, "It was this guy who slapped me, and he was still holding my hair and dragging me away, but in the end, he was knocked to the ground by me."

Speaking of the back, she was a little proud.

In fact, she didn't know where she got the courage and strength, but when the other party dragged her hair and dragged her away, she was hurt and angry, and she wanted to cut the other party with a thousand knives.

Maybe it's a desperate gamble under anger.

Lu Jiuyuan was shocked and angry when he heard this, that damn Aku dared to do this to Tao Yao.

At that time, she was a little girl, how painful and helpless she was when she was bullied like this.

A cold murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and he raised his hand to caress her face, "I'll take him and avenge you."

"Okay." Tao Yao nodded, then lay down, pillowed his head on his lap, and said coquettishly, "You rub it for me, my scalp still hurts."

"Hmm." Lu Jiuyuan answered, his slender fingers gently caressing her scalp. z.br>

Being rubbed by him, Tao Yao felt very comfortable and didn't hurt at all.
