Confidence comes from strength, today's Chen An is not afraid of a direct head-on conflict with the Jiangzhou soldiers and horses, he was able to single-handedly cross thousands of armies, and today's Yongping Mansion is also the same!

In the era of cold weapons, the bravery of individuals is infinitely magnified, and sometimes it can even determine the outcome of a war, even in the modern society dominated by hot weapons, individual bravery can still exert residual heat in small-scale battles.

Although he is not as good as the fictional and deified Li Yuanba in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he thinks that he is by no means inferior to Xiang Yu, the overlord who is known for his bravery in the history books.

The only thing he really worried about was how to explain his departure to the little girl.

The little girl had asked him if he would always protect himself.

Chen An, who didn't want to hurt her heart anymore, agreed, but when he returned the little girl to Tang Xuanfu safely, he knew that he had to break the promise that was not right.

He and the little girl have no relatives and no reason, and the meeting between the two is just an accident after all.

He sacrificed his life to save her from the robbers, and finally returned her to her father despite all odds.

He was asking for self-redemption without feeling guilty.

Today, Chen An, who has caused countless troubles for protecting her, has a reason why he must leave.

The two might as well forget each other in the rivers and lakes from now on.

During dinner, Chen An stayed alone in the wing room and refused Tang Zhiyao's banquet, after all, not long ago, he ate the rations of more than 40 people in the house, and he didn't talk to Tang Zhiyao speculatively, he would leave tomorrow, even if he lost his manners, he didn't bother to continue to perfunctory with the other party.

The little girl Yaoyao kept saying that she would ignore him again, but after dinner, she seemed to forget about it, and then obediently found Chen An accompanied by the maid.

When I first came to Yongping Mansion, where I was unfamiliar with my life, my father was often busy and had no time to accompany him, Chen An was unconscious, and the maids and grandmothers who could talk and chat in the house were even more bored because of the gap in status, so it was conceivable that the little girl was lonely and lonely these days.

When night falls, the rooms are lit with dim candles.

Chen An sat at the table of the Eight Immortals in the house, quietly listening to the trivial things of life told by the little girl next to him, while the maid Xiao An was waiting by the door, and her elongated figure could be vaguely seen on the ground.

"Yaoyao. ”

While the little girl was talking dry and drinking tea, Chen An suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong, uncle?" the little girl held the teacup and looked at Chen Andao with a puzzled face.

"I'm leaving here tomorrow. Chen An said softly.

Smack-

As soon as the words fell, the teacup in the little girl's hand fell to the ground in an instant, and on her childish and lovely face, those bright big eyes were suddenly overflowing with crystal tears.

"Uncle, don't you want Yaoyao?"

"Since I returned you safely to your father, my uncle has no more worries in his heart, so it's time for him to leave. Chen An squeezed out a smile and said.

"But, didn't uncle say that he would protect Yaoyao for the rest of his life?Uncle, this big liar! How can you talk without words?!" The little girl couldn't help but cry out loudly at Chen An, which caused Xiao An, the maid outside the door, to run in anxiously to check what was going on.

Chen An glanced at the maid and waved her hand to signal her to retreat without anything, Xiao An hesitated helplessly for a while, and then retreated silently.

"Since Yaoyao has gone home, and it is time for her uncle to go home, can Yaoyao understand what her uncle meant when she left?"

He made up a white lie to comfort the crying Yaoyao, in fact, this lie may not be a lie, one day, he will leave this world.

"So my uncle has come home too?" said the little girl, wiping her tears from her eyes.

"Of course, because my uncle has parents like Yaoyao, and after being away from home for so long, I think the two elders are very concerned about their uncle. Chen Andao.

"Will the uncle come back to see Yaoyao in the future?" The little girl seemed to believe what Chen An said, and looked at Chen An with a pitiful look.

He reached out and touched the little girl's head. "Of course. ”

"Then let's pull the hook hook. ”

The little girl stretched out her little finger towards Chen An.

"Okay, pull the hook, the liar will become a puppy. ”

Chen An smiled and stretched out his little finger to hook it tightly with the little girl's little finger.

For a long time, for a long time.

The little girl was reluctant to let go of her fingers, and the tears in her eyes no longer flowed.

"When will uncle leave tomorrow, Yaoyao and father will send you off. ”

"No need, uncle is used to being alone. Chen An shook his head and said.

"Uncle ......"

"What's the matter?"

"Tell Yaoyao another story. ”

"Well, a long, long time ago......"

In the end, Chen An told more than one story, I don't know how long it took, the little girl Yaoyao fell on his lap, at this time, he quietly beckoned to the restless maid at the door, and asked her to carry the little girl back.

Watching them disappear into the back of the corridor, Chen Anxin felt a touch of loneliness, after many years, maybe the two will never see each other again, just like him and Alex.

In the end, he was just a passer-by lost in time and space.

Sooner or later, he will get used to parting, to being indifferent, to forgetting.

It was late at night.

The candle flame in Chen An's room was still lit, and there was a slight sound of footsteps in the distance, and in a moment, someone knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Chen An, who was lying on the bed and had not slept with his eyes open, asked coldly.

"The little one is the eldest lady who specially instructed you to bring you a supper before going to bed. The man outside the door replied respectfully.

"The door is unlocked, just enter the door and put it on the table. Chen An really couldn't refuse the little girl's heart.

After the door opened, a servant with a food box walked in with his head down, he put the food box on the table and turned around and exited the door, carefully silent throughout the whole process.

Not long after the servant left, Chen An got up from the bed, then walked to the table and opened the food box.

As a result, his face changed instantly.

Because there is no so-called supper in the food box at all, but only a note.

He took out the note with a solemn expression, only to see a line written on the note.

Tang Xuanfu colluded with Jiangzhou soldiers and horses to intend to harm the strong men tomorrow.

Chen An's eyelids jumped, this note was obviously someone reporting to him, and the villain who sent the supper just now was likely to be the inside line of Tang Xuanfu's mansion planted by the other party.

However.

Why did Tang Zhiyao collude with the soldiers and horses to assassinate him? Didn't he save his own life before? Why did he turn around and sell his daughter's life-saving benefactor? Also, who was the person behind the scenes who sent the note to warn? Is the content of the note really credible?

For a while, Chen An's thoughts were in a mess.
