The girl's smile could no longer be described as stiff.

That kind of forced smile is simply weird and a bit scary.

But Ye Qinghuai saw sincerity in her eyes.She really wanted to smile at Ye Qinghuai.

There was gratitude, longing, and a bit of girlish timidity in that smile.

Ye Qinghuai then also smiled at her.

Then, she hooked Tao Yuan's shoulder and took him aside.

"What do you think? I asked you for someone to monitor Gu Haiwang. How could you get her here? Can she bear seeing Gu Haiwang?" Ye Qinghuai asked in a suppressed voice.

"Your Majesty, this time you are escorting Gu Haiwang from Yunzhou back to Beijing. She is the secret guard of this operation and has followed you all the way. If she wants to attack Gu Haiwang, there are many opportunities." Tao Yuan paused and said, "But she Hold it back."

"I'm not worried about Eagle Guard's professionalism, I just think..." It's too cruel for a little girl to face the beasts that have bullied her every day.

Tao Yuan seemed to have guessed what Ye Qinghuai wanted to say. He interrupted her and said, "Your Majesty, this is what she asked for."

After speaking, Tao Yuan frowned slightly.But soon, he returned to his expressionless working-class look.

For some reason, Ye Qinghuai felt that Tao Yuan was unusually serious today.

Ye Qinghuai turned around, looked at the little girl who was only as high as her chest, and asked, "Why?"

Wang Siyun, no, her name should be Shen Guiyi now. She looked at Ye Qinghuai and replied: "I want to know what will happen to him in the end."

"I promise you that I will make him suffer the consequences." Ye Qinghuai said.

"But I want to see it with my own eyes." Shen Guixi replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Ye Qinghuai frowned. It seemed that the girl had made up her mind.

"What if the result is not what you want?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

A chill flashed through the girl's smart eyes. She lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty believes in you. Your Majesty said you would let him suffer the consequences, and he will definitely get the retribution he deserves."

Ye Qinghuai knew that he couldn't persuade her with words, so he pulled out the sword at his side, held it across his chest, and asked: "In that case, let me see what you are capable of."

"Look at the sword!" Ye Qinghuai shouted, and the sword went straight to Shen Guixi's heart.

The girl quickly stepped back half a step. As she stepped back, she raised her right hand, and a cold light flashed from her sleeve. There was a "ding" sound, and Ye Qinghuai's sword was deflected by an inch of force.

After a confrontation, both of them took a step back and looked at each other's weapons.

"The Hidden Sword." Ye Qinghuai looked at the palm-long cold light in the girl's right hand guarding her chest and asked, "Is this your weapon?"

The weird smile on Shen Guixi's face slowly disappeared. She looked at Ye Qinghuai and said seriously: "Not exactly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qinghuai's next blow had already hit her face.

In the backyard of Huisheng Pawn, Tao Yuan stood outside the door of the main hall, crossing his shoulders and watching the two fighting with interest.

Ye Qinghuai's sword was very fast, but Shen Guixi's figure was even faster.

The sword light chased after the lotus-colored figure of the girl, flashing across the bluestone floor, the stone table in the courtyard, and the eaves of the back room. A large pile of fallen leaves was picked up by the sword wind and the hem of the clothes, and trembled and rolled in the wind.

Shen Guiyi did not take action, but passively dodged, and occasionally used the hidden sword to block, but Ye Qinghuai couldn't hit her.

Ye Qinghuai soon discovered that this girl was very good at Qinggong.Although Shen Guiyi seemed to be able to dodge Ye Qinghuai's sword every time, she did so deliberately to save energy. If Ye Qinghuai speeded up the sword in his hand, she would become faster. .

She could never catch up with her.

Ye Qinghuai stopped his offensive.Shen Guiyi also stopped.She stood in front of Tao Yuan, with her hands in front of her body, her head tilted slightly, and she stared warily at the sword in Ye Qinghuai's hand.

She has a maid's hair style, wears a maid's clothes, and even the way she stands at the moment looks like a maid's.

If it weren't for the three-inch cold light in her right hand, no one would have thought that this maid was actually a member of the Eagle Guard.

Ye Qinghuai narrowed her eyes, took two quick steps, and swept her legs with the long sword, focusing on her lower body.

As she expected, Shen Guixi's basic skills were not solid, and his lower body was not as solid as that of ordinary martial arts practitioners.

Soon, the girl was at a disadvantage and dodged awkwardly.

Ye Qinghuai saw the opportunity and flew up, the sword pointed directly at her right shoulder.

It was a false move.

As long as she raises her hidden blade to block, this sword will take her hidden blade away, leaving her center door wide open.Ye Qinghuai's actual move was to follow the sword with a flying kick. If she had no protection, she would be shot to the ground.

A trace of panic flashed in the girl's eyes, but soon her expression darkened.

She did not use her hidden sword to block the sword, but instead stepped half way back. After the faint sword passed, she raised the hidden sword in her right hand in a defensive posture.

Ye Qinghuai was shocked.

Was it discovered?
Naturally, she couldn't use her legs to catch the sharp blade of the Hidden Blade, so she had to use her waist strength to twist violently in the air, spinning twice in a row and leaning on her elbows before she barely landed.

When she landed on the ground, she raised her head again and saw that the girl was holding a wooden box as thick as an arm in her left hand. One end of the box was facing Ye Qinghuai's forehead.Ye Qinghuai saw the cold light of metal reflected in the dark hole.

Not one point, but many points.

"Shen Guici!" Tao Yuan shouted.

The girl was startled by his shout, and like a child who made a mistake, she immediately put the cartridge back into her sleeve.

Ye Qinghuai stood up and sheathed his sword.

She lost this battle.

"What is that?" Ye Qinghuai asked, looking at Shen Guixi's sleeves as he put away the barrel.

"The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle." Tao Yuan came over and answered for her, "The needles are highly poisonous, and if one is hit, it will be impossible for gods to save them."

He walked up to Shen Guici and said sternly to her: "Who gave you the courage to point that thing at His Majesty?"

After saying that, he lowered his head to Ye Qinghuai and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this girl has grown up in the community. She has never seen the world and has never learned any etiquette. It is because I have neglected to teach you. I hope your Majesty will forgive me." Her crime of disrespect.”

After saying that, he raised his hand and pressed Shen Guixi's head, asking her to bow deeply to the emperor with him.

Indeed, pointing a murderous weapon at the emperor was a crime of lese majeste and punishable by death.But Tao Yuan's reaction was so big that Ye Qinghuai was a little surprised.

"Get up. Since it's a competition, there's no disrespect. You taught well, Tao Yuan. It's really surprising that you can teach such a powerful apprentice in half a year." Ye Qinghuai admired sincerely.

Tao Yuan and Shen Guixi then raised their heads. Tao Yuan said humbly: "She has a poor foundation in kung fu, but her talent in light kung fu is very good. My subordinates taught her some techniques with hidden weapons."

Ye Qinghuai nodded, looked at Shen Guici, and said, "It's just right for her to be like this. If she is a concubine with deep skills, I'm afraid others will notice it at a glance."

She looked at the little girl who had not yet had haircuts, and felt a hint of unbearability in her heart. Finally, she asked her again: "Shen Guici, have you really thought about it?"

The girl looked back at her and nodded firmly but slowly.
