Since the last Lantern Festival, An Yanzhe's calm heart has been stirred again. Originally, he just wanted to stay here well, with his thoughts about Su Li. But since he saw Su Li in a misfortune that day, he actually had the idea of going back, and he had the idea of wanting to see Su Li again. So, he would go to Qinghe every day and stay for a day, hoping to see Su Li again. But the god of luck has not been there since that day, and what he had hoped for never happened again.

This feeling that gives you hope but often disappoints you is more uncomfortable than making you desperate in the first place. If you have been in hell, you may not feel anything, but if you have gone through heaven and then go to hell, the mood will naturally be different.

On this day, he took a boat to hang out on the Qing River again. It was already afternoon, and the setting sun was slanting on the water, sparkling, and the water vapor rose from the bottom of the river, which was very moist and dissipated the heat of the summer heat. At this time, because of the good weather, there are always some nobles who wander in the river by boat, especially those sons and brothers, who inevitably bring a few Fengyue women to laugh. An Yanzhe saw that Gu Zhen was on a boat very close to him, playing the piano for those noble sons.

An Yanzhe didn't want to care about this, but because Gu Zhen had a face like Su Li, he couldn't help but be immersed in that face when he looked at it. Suddenly, he saw a man on the boat walk up to Gu Zhen and grab her hand.

Since the ship was not very close, he could not hear the sound inside, but he could tell that there was an argument inside. The man didn't look like a good man, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he was going to die lightly. Although Gu Zheng is a Fengyue woman, she does not sell her body. This is understandable for reasonable people, but for those aristocratic sons who only know how to have fun, they may not necessarily eat this set.

"Tell the boatman to get close to the ship." An Yanzhe looked at Gu Zhen and said to the guards beside him.

"Childe, please respect yourself." Gu Zheng was grabbed by the wrist and said while struggling, perhaps because of the dispute, his cheeks were slightly red.

"A woman in a green building, tell me what self-respect, Uncle Ben doesn't dislike you, it is respect for you." The man's words became more and more excessive, and he even wanted to forcibly hold the lonely man.

"Let go, don't touch me." Gu Zhen scolded angrily.

"She said let go, can't you hear me?" An Yanzhe's voice suddenly remembered.

"Which nosy ......" The man turned his head angrily, and was about to scold, but when he turned his head to see that it was An Yanzhe, he immediately stopped what he was about to say, and said in a flattering tone: "It's His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, when did you come over, please take a seat."

"It's because people like you don't have self-respect that this son has to condescend to come over. Before I get angry, let go of your hand. An Yanzhe stared at his hand holding Gu Zhen's wrist, and said in a cold tone.

The man also seemed to see An Yanzhe's anger, and he had indeed heard that An Yanzhe, who had never been close to women, always went to find Gu Zhen, maybe there was really something between them. The An family was favored by the emperor, and it was not easy to provoke him. Thinking so, he immediately let go of Gu Zheng's hand.

After Gu Zhen's hand was liberated, she immediately ran behind An Yanzhe and hid, with tears in her eyes, but she stubbornly did not shed it. This kind of her reminded An Yanzhe of Su Li.

An Yanzhe glanced at everyone on the boat, they were all playboys in the capital, so he didn't say anything, and took Gu Zheng's hand and left.

After returning to his ship, An Yanzhe sat down in the cabin, his face returned to his previous calm, and he did not ask about what had just happened. The lonely man sat down across from him, and did not speak quietly. The two sat silently opposite each other, the last rays of the setting sun shining on them, and the sky, the river, and everything around them were covered in a faint layer of red. The boat is slowly paddled on the water, and the oars are paddled across the water, leaving a long mark of water.

"Thank you for what happened just now." The lonely man spoke, breaking the silence.

"For me, it's a small thing that doesn't have to be taken to heart." An Yanzhe said.

Gu Zhen smiled faintly and said, "It is indeed a great favor for me."

"I'll redeem you, don't stay in that kind of place. This time I just met, I can protect you, and if I am not there next time, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to get out. An Yanzhe said, for some reason he suddenly wanted to do this, to do what he could for Gu Zhen.

"Is the son of the world pitying me?" Gu Zhen looked at An Yanzhe and asked.

"I don't want to, I don't want you to be in that situation." An Yanzhe replied.

"Is it because of her? The person that His Royal Highness likes the Prince, because I look very similar to her, did His Highness transplant that kind of protection for her to me? Gu Zhen asked.

Faced with this question, An Yanzhe was silent, and after a while, he said, "Maybe."

"Although he has a humble status, he doesn't want to be a stand-in for others. He thanked the prince for his kindness, but asked the prince to allow him to retain his last self-esteem. Gu Zhen said, her expression so strong.

An Yanzhe didn't say anything else, and the reason for Gu Zhen's death was very convincing. Her strong appearance is even more distressing. However, since this is what she wants, An Yanzhe will not be reluctant. After all, as she said, An Yanzhe just regarded her as Su Li's stand-in. At least for now.

After that, the two did not speak again, and did it quietly, until the boat was close to the shore, and An Yanzhe said, "Go ashore."

After An Yanzhe returned, he began his daily work again - painting. Moonlight and wine are standard when he paints. He hung all the pictures in his study. Each painting contains his infinite love and longing for Su Li.

In the picture, a woman is lying on a bed, and a man sits next to the bed, using his long, white hand to ruffle the woman's messy hair. Looking at the scene in the picture, An Yanzhe also fell into memory, that was once when he and Su left the car and went out and met the life-seeking merchant. Those people kidnapped him and Su Li, and Su Li was so frightened that he fell unconscious.

"Your life is mine, nothing can be taken away except me, and those who try to harm you, I will make them pay." An Yanzhe still remembered that he said such things to the unconscious Su Li at that time.

Looking at the scene in the painting, he remembered what happened to the lonely man during the day. His heart was not at peace, and the anger slowly burned from the bottom of his heart, rushing straight to his brain, and soon robbing him of his originally calm mind.

He changed into a black robe, grabbed his saber and walked out. It started to rain outside. Just like the day he killed for Su Li. The rain was running down the eaves, and the sound of the rattling sounded crisp. It was a rainy day a long time ago. That day, for the sake of Su Li's injury, he braved the heavy rain late at night and personally punished those who hurt Su Li. Tonight, it's still raining, which unlucky guy will fall into the hands of An Yanzhe?

The thin and lonely man in the daytime, together with his fox friends and dogs, came out of a brothel and walked into a more remote alley. It's late at night, and with the rain, there are very few pedestrians here. The alley was deep, and there was nothing else to illuminate except the dim moonlight. When An Yanzhe appeared in front of them dressed in black, those people hadn't seen it clearly.

"Who are you? Dare to stand in the way of Uncle Ben, it's impatient. The man drank and staggered, but he didn't forget to put on his shelf.

An Yanzhe stood with his back to them, heard his voice at this moment, turned around slowly, and stole the unbright moonlight, and could vaguely see the anger on his face.

"It's the one who came to take your name." As soon as An Yanzhe's words fell, the sword in his hand also struck, slashing through the man's arm, the hand and body separated, accompanied by the man's terrible screams.

"I hate it when people touch me, so you can apologize to me with your death." An Yanzhe looked at the man coldly, and with another swing of the sword, a blood mark appeared on the man's neck. Blood splattered onto Ahn Yanzhe's face, mixed with the rain.

Seeing this scene, the two people who came with the man were frightened, and they couldn't help but kneel in front of An Yanzhe and beg for mercy: "Spare your life, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will spare his life, everything is done by him alone, we have done nothing, please spare our lives with His Royal Highness the Prince."

The two kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, An Yanzhe glanced at them and said, "At that time, you should have done something, you should have done something, but you didn't do anything, that's your fault."

The two didn't seem to understand what he meant, but the shiny sword had pierced through the sky and stabbed at them.

Blood was thrown in the air, blending with the falling raindrops, which were dyed bloody red before they even fell to the ground. In the dark alley, there were three corpses lying on the ground, blood flowing down the ground.

An Yanzhe put away his sword and walked in a random direction, his steps were steady and without a trace of panic. The rain was still falling, heavier than before. An Yanzhe's body was already wet, and the rain ran down his hair, washing the blood on his face.

Whether it was before or now, An Yanzhe is definitely not a kind person. He guards the people he loves in his own way, and he does not allow, absolutely not, anyone who hurts the people around him again. The kind of thing where parents die in front of their own eyes is absolutely not allowed to happen a second time. That's why he has to be more ruthless. During the day, he is a young man, and at night he is Satan from hell.

The moon hides behind dark clouds and witnesses everything. Except for the gray-white moonlight it cast, no one knew what was happening tonight. An Yanzhe's figure walked farther and farther, and a few dog barks came from the deep alley, breaking the quiet night sky.
