Chapter 89 Sharp Blade
Lu Yanchen looked at the gold medal in Ye Qinghuai's hand and said: "There is a pawnshop in Jinxiufang called Huisheng Pawn, the shopkeeper there is named Qiao, Your Majesty can take this gold medal to him, and leave a note, note Write down the person or matter that His Majesty wants to check, and make an appointment on the note. The shopkeeper will take the note. Your Majesty will go to Huisheng Pawn at the appointed time, and you will get a related reward."

Ye Qinghuai looked at the gold medal in his hand in disbelief, and then at Lu Yanchen.

"They are the current Eagle Guards."

For a moment, countless questions popped up in Ye Qinghuai's mind.

She chose to ask the simplest question first: "How many are there?"

Lu Yanchen shook his head, and said: "I don't know the exact number of people. But the Eagle Guards should be composed of thirty teams, and the first team has about three to ten people, about one or two hundred people."

"Then where are they usually?"

"There are everywhere, living in Shengjing City like ordinary people."

"So they do some intelligence-gathering work? Did you ask them for information, sir?"

Lu Yanchen pondered for a while, and said: "Not only that. The Eagle Guards have a unique training and inheritance mechanism. Each Eagle Guard is a rare talent selected from a hundred. Stunt skills. In addition to collecting information, you can also do some assassination or escort work. In terms of my experience, they only missed once, and it was Song Zhe's time."

Ye Qinghuai's expression was not only surprised, she thought of many things.

"They didn't miss Song Zhe's matter. I asked Gu Shihai yesterday for verification, and Song Zhe is dead. It's normal for them not to be able to find it." Ye Qinghuai narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yanchen, and asked, "Mr. Are you asking them to protect Li Wenqing's family?"

Lu Yanchen nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Qinghuai looked at the gold medal in his hand for a long time, then asked him again: "Have you asked them to go to the prison to save Wang Lisong?"

Lu Yanchen was stunned for a moment, his expression darkened, he shook his head, and said, "I have never used Yingwei to do my own affairs. At the time of Tianlao, I took two township party members with me. But after protecting the king I entrusted Yingwei to do the sacrifice to Leizhou."

Ye Qinghuai nodded thoughtfully.

"Mr. has always distinguished between public and private. I am overthinking."

When Lu Yanchen heard Ye Qinghuai's words, his brows and eyes became gentler, and he said: "This minister has not confessed everything to His Majesty, and His Majesty should be suspicious."

Ye Qinghuai frowned, Lu Yanchen's words hit the point that she couldn't figure out the most.

"According to what you said, this Eagle Guard should belong to the royal family, and it is an intelligence network that the late emperor operated and cultivated in Beijing for many years. But why did Huang Kao leave it to you?"

Such an invincible guard should have been the sharpest knife and the last hole card in the emperor's hands.

Why did it fall into Lu Yanchen's hands?

Ye Qinghuai couldn't figure it out.

When Emperor Shunping handed over this gold medal to Lu Yanchen, he was just a young boy who had just passed the Jinshi examination. He had neither proud achievements nor solid ancestral heritage. And Ye Qinghuai just happened to need an emperor teacher, he couldn't even enter the Taiqing Pavilion, and could only be an unattended master in the Ministry of War for the rest of his life.

What did Emperor Shunping see in him, that he would give him such an important thing as the Eagle Guard.

This incident was so unbelievable that Ye Qinghuai began to wonder if Lu Yanchen might be her father's illegitimate child.

Lu Yanchen's expression deepened, and he said: "When the late emperor handed over this gold medal to the minister, the minister also asked this question. The minister asked the late emperor, why didn't he give it to His Majesty?"

He raised his eyes, looked at Ye Qinghuai and continued: "The first emperor said that this guard is a sharp blade. A real sharp blade can not only stab the enemy, but also hurt himself. Then hand it over to Your Majesty. The minister thought, maybe it was because His Majesty was too young when he was in charge, and the late Emperor was worried that His Majesty would hurt himself, so he didn't give it directly to His Majesty. And the late Emperor asked his minister to be His Majesty's husband, maybe there is a reason This is the intention."

Ye Qinghuai looked at the gold medal in her hand and suddenly felt how heavy it was.

The government and the public always said that before the death of the first emperor, Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai, the first assistant, were entrusted to Ye Qinghuai as assistant ministers. It was Tuogu who gave it to Lu Yanchen.

If this eagle guard, which never fails, is held in the hands of powerful officials, it can spy on them, eliminate political opponents, control the situation, and become their help to turn the wind and rain.

Emperor Shunping actually handed over such a thing to Lu Yanchen, what kind of trust is this?
He believed that Lu Yanchen would never use it to do evil, and he believed that such a sharp knife in Lu Yanchen's hands would never become a murder weapon to help evildoers.

He actually believed in Lu Yanchen's character so much.

Ye Qinghuai felt incredible.

What's even more incredible is that he was right.

Looking at her heart, Ye Qinghuai felt that if it was her, she would definitely use the Eagle Guards to rob Wang Lisong from the dungeon.

How did Lu Yanchen hold back?
She didn't think it was right for Lu Yanchen to do so, she just found it incredible.

According to Lu Yanchen's rigid temperament, if Ye Qinghuai hadn't ordered him to find a way to save Wang Lisong's life, he might not even let the Yingwei protect Wang Lisong to Leizhou.

If Wang Lisong died, then many things would become dead without evidence.

Ye Qinghuai thought this was foolish loyalty, which was not advisable.

But this kind of foolish loyalty is Lu Yanchen's code of conduct.

She thought about it, and asked Lu Yanchen, "Do you think this is the right time, sir?"

Lu Yanchen hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, and no."

"Why did you say that, sir?"

"Now is the time when His Majesty needs the Eagle Guard the most, so it is the right time. However, because His Majesty needs it so much, it is not the right time."

What he said was awkward, but Ye Qinghuai understood what he meant.

She smiled and said, "Sir, I'm worried that I'll hurt myself in such a hurry."

Lu Yanchen didn't speak, acquiescing to her guess.

"Sir, what kind of person does such a sharp knife hold in the hands, so that it can become a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, rather than a murderous thing that hurts others and oneself?"

Lu Yanchen raised his head and looked directly at Ye Qinghuai, his eyes were as deep as the night, but they were shining with bright stars.

"The master who teaches the minister's knife technique once said to the minister that when there are people and things in his heart that he wants to protect, the knife in his hand can be invincible. A real sharp weapon is not only for killing, but also for protecting. When your majesty When the intention is to protect, you will be able to hold all the sharp edges in this world."
