Chapter 106 Tao Erlong

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

It was a face she would never forget.

In the previous life, the last thing that caught her eyes was this face that looked like Lu Yanchen's asura from hell.

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

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

This name was so special that it was easily etched into Ye Qinghuai's mind.

It turned out that he was a member of Yingwei, but how did he become Lu Yanchen's lieutenant general?
Ye Qinghuai didn't have time to think, because the moment she called out the name "Tao Erlong", the other person'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 freeze, as if the sky had turned overcast.

Then, Ye Qinghuai felt a chill on her neck.

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

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

Ye Qinghuai was startled by the murderous aura rushing towards her face, so she took half a step back, her whole body froze.

She didn't see clearly how Tao Erlong appeared in front of her in an instant from ten steps away, and she didn't see clearly how his dagger was unsheathed.

Everything happened silently, as if he was too fast to react to the wind.

And the moment he threw the knife, Lu Yanchen shot almost at the same time, grabbing his elbow.Lu Yanchen stared at him with chills and warning in his eyes.

Tao Erlong was stopped by him, unable to advance an inch, but his ferocious eyes did not leave Ye Qinghuai's body. He lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you hear this name?"

The voice was full of threats.

Ye Qinghuai's back was covered in cold sweat. What makes him scary and strange lies not only in his quickness, but also in his quietness.

When he charged, he was as fast as lightning, but he could stop cleanly within an inch.

It corresponds to that poem.

Come like a thunderbolt to receive anger, stop like a Jianghai condensing clear light.

Ye Qinghuai shrank half of her body back subconsciously, staring vigilantly at the sharp knife resting in her throat, the tip of the knife reflected a dazzling light, faintly smelling of blood.

This may be the first time since she was reborn that she was so close to death.

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

Only then did Tao Erlong put away his murderous aura, and quickly took a step back.Seeing him stepping back, Lu Yanchen let go of the grip on his hands.

Tao Erlong waved his right hand lightly on the back of his waist, and the sharp knife in his hand disappeared, as if by a magic trick.

Ye Qinghuai was dumbfounded.

She has never been assassinated since she was so old, and she has never faced an assassin directly, but just this time, Ye Qinghuai instinctively felt that the lazy man in front of her was an assassin.

He himself is like a knife without a sheath.

This was the first time Ye Qinghuai felt the terror of an assassin.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if this Tao Yuanfang really wanted to take her life, she would have been decapitated by now.

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

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

Then, without any warning, he folded his fists in front of Ye Qinghuai and knelt down, saying: "Caomin has poor eyesight and almost hurt His Majesty. Please forgive me."

He revealed Ye Qinghuai's identity in one word, which surprised Ye Qinghuai even more.She turned her head and looked at Lu Yanchen questioningly.

Lu Yanchen understood immediately, he shook his head, which meant that he had not informed Emperor Tao Yuan that he was coming.

Ye Qinghuai narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in her heart: This Tao Yuan is a bit interesting.

She took a step forward, helped the man up, and said with a smile: "So you are Tao Yuan. Li Baoquan mentioned you to me before, and you are indeed very skilled. Those who don't know are innocent, get up quickly."

Li Baoquan did mention his name, but Ye Qinghuai did not expect that he had two names.

Tao Yuan stood up, looked at Ye Qinghuai, and saw that there was no fear in her eyes, but an appreciative smile instead of anger.

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

In his words, there is absolutely no fear of a commoner facing the emperor, nor the flattery of a courtier facing the monarch, but there is a bit of a quack in his demeanor.

Happy people say happy things.Ye Qinghuai also asked bluntly: "How did you find out my identity?"

Tao Yuan showed a somewhat smug smile, and said, "Caomin eats this bowl of rice. Your Majesty can point to anyone on the street, and Caomin can tell His Majesty what kind of business he is in."

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

Ye Qinghuai glanced at Lu Yanchen from the corner of his eye, and saw that his brows were slightly frowned, and he was in a bad mood.

At this time, Lu Yanchen probably didn't know that Tao Yuan had the name Tao Erlong, and judging from Tao Yuan's reaction, it seemed that he was deeply obsessed with this name.

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

Tao Yuan stared at Ye Qinghuai, his sharp eyes seemed to see through her.There was some suffocating tension in the air.

After a long time, he suddenly smiled and said, "So it was Eunuch Li who said it."

This matter is finally over.Tao Yuan looked at Lu Yanchen and Ye Qinghuai, and asked, "The two adults are here today, what advice do you have?"

Lu Yanchen and Ye Qinghuai looked at each other, Ye Qinghuai took out the gold medal, Lu Yanchen said: "I have given this gold medal to Your Majesty."

Surprise flashed across Tao Yuan's eyes, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Lu Yanchen and Ye Qinghuai a few times, as if waiting for someone to repent.

But both Ye Qinghuai and Lu Yanchen looked extremely determined.

He gave Lu Yanchen a meaningful look at the end, then knelt down, and solemnly said to Ye Qinghuai: "The Eagle Guard is in command of Tao Yuan, but he is at His Majesty's order."

"Commander Tao, please get up, this is not a palace, so you don't have to stick to etiquette." Ye Qinghuai helped him up twice, and then looked at him very enthusiastically, "Just right, I have a few things to do here Eagle Guard will do it."

Tao Yuan was slightly taken aback, and thought: Are you getting to the point so soon?This little emperor is a bit interesting.

He also smiled and said: "Since that's the case, Your Majesty, please go upstairs."

Ye Qinghuai looked at Lu Yanchen, and was about to speak, when Lu Yanchen said first: "I go to the front to chat with Lao Fang, Your Majesty and Commander Tao have a slow chat."

Ye Qinghuai nodded.

Lu Yanchen left quickly, Tao Yuan smiled and gestured please to Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai nodded slightly as a signal, and then went up to the small building first.

Looking at Lu Yanchen's leaving back behind her, Tao Yuan sighed silently, shook his head, with helplessness and sympathy in his eyes.
