readx;? Jinling City, the once sealed Protectorate Mansion has now removed the seal, the gate is open, and the Jinling magnates come and go in an endless stream, and everyone regards Han Xiao as the last straw, so the court is full of flattery and goodwill. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although everyone was extremely surprised by Han Xiao's resurrection, these powerful people were all smart people, so naturally they would not mention half a sentence about the unpleasant things that had happened. Even when they met Han Xiao himself, everyone knew each other tacitly, and the polite greetings were as if Han Xiao had never left, natural and cordial.

Han Xiao made a comeback, and the people of the Han nationality also returned to their long-lost homes one after another. When they stepped into the dusty Han Mansion again, the old and young women and children of the Han family all cried with joy, hugged their heads and cried. This kind of mood for the rest of the life after the catastrophe is very understandable, and the sense of happiness like rebirth fills the hearts of every Han family member.

It took seven busy days for Han Xiao to get rid of all these Jinling magnates who came in large numbers. Now that Han Xiao has taken over the defense of Jinling City, he has not had a good rest since he came back. During the day, he either personally trained the sergeants in the large camp or arranged the city defenses on the city walls, and usually did not return to his house until late at night to rest for an hour or two. Jinling City has Han Xiao in charge, and the people in the city can finally sleep peacefully.

At this moment, it is dawn, and the eastern sky has even been covered with a layer of fish belly white, and drops of crystal clear dew are scattered on the flowers and plants on the side of the road, moistening the air with a little coolness. Han Xiao, who was dressed in armor, dragged his tired body back to the mansion, although he was tired every day after returning to Jinling City, he was sleepless for several days.

Han Xiao is full of feelings for every grass and tree here, whenever there is silence around him, he can't help but pace in the courtyard, a pair of tiger eyes are full of memories, whenever this is the case, he can't help but feel that things are not people, and creation makes people, of course, today is no exception.

In fact, Han Xiao's steps have been deliberately dodging a place in the mansion, which is Han Ling'er's room, whenever Han Xiao paced here, he would choose to go around silently, because there were too many laughter and laughter of their father and daughter, and it was full of memories about Han Ling'er, Han Xiao couldn't bear or dare to touch it, because he was afraid that he would be trapped in the world of missing his daughter and couldn't extricate himself.

Despite this, every time Han Xiao paced, he came to Han Ling'er's door like a ghost, and it was the same at this moment. Han Xiao stood silently outside Han Linger's room for a long time and refused to leave, as if there was always a voice urging him to open the door and walk in to have a look. Today's Han Xiao is a little less domineering and a little more restrained than in the past. A little less arrogance, a little more humility. A little less fierce, a little more soft. Now there is gray hair in his temples, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes have become more and more obvious, and the melancholy appearance that has gone through vicissitudes of life looks like a sad heart, and even the colors in his eyes are no longer the firmness and sharpness of the past, but have become deep and silent now, and even have a trace of cloudiness. When the magnates of Jinling City saw Han Xiao for the first time, the most intuitive feeling was that Han Xiao seemed to be much older.

At the very least, in terms of momentum, it can no longer be compared with the former protector of the country. Because today's Han Xiao no longer likes to use momentum to suppress people. Once upon a time, as soon as an outsider stood in front of Han Xiao, he could clearly feel an invisible pressure enveloping him, if he wasn't a person with real skills, he wouldn't even be able to raise his head when standing in front of Han Xiao, let alone look at him. But now, even an ordinary sergeant can talk and laugh with him, this change from untouchable to approachable is undoubtedly the biggest difference between Han Xiao and Han Xiao in the past.

"Ling'er ......"

Han Xiao's ears seemed to echo Han Ling'er's laughter like a silver bell, and his face full of melancholy couldn't help but show a touch of deep longing.

Han Xiao's hands gently stuck to the door and stagnated for a long time, before he suddenly pushed open the two doors that had been closed for more than a year, accompanied by an extremely slight sound, a slightly moldy smell in the room poured directly into Han Xiao's mouth and nose, although Han Linger's room had been uninhabited and dusty for a long time, but Han Xiao could still feel a faint fragrance from the faint musty smell, which was a unique fragrance belonging to Han Linger, and this smell was too familiar to Han Xiao. The long-lost aroma made Han Xiao's eyes instantly turn red, and bean-sized tears were also swirling back and forth in his eyes.

Everything in Han Linger's boudoir is exactly the same as when she left, there is still a rouge gouache that Han Linger has not used up before the bronze mirror dressing table, a layer of brocade quilts is neatly stacked on the bed with a red curtain of pink tents, and a few skirts that Han Linger did not have time to put away are stacked at random, there is still half a pot of tea left on the square table, and a lip print that Han Linger once left in a hurry can still be seen on the edge of a dried teacup, and the Han family was pressed into death row very suddenly, and there was no chance for Han Linger to clean up at all.

Han Xiao stepped into the room with trembling steps, leaving a series of clear footprints on the dusty ground, after he looked around the room with trembling eyes, he slowly sat down on the round stool at the table, quietly recalled everything about Han Linger, a pair of cloudy old eyes began to become hazy with tears, but the corners of his mouth always showed a happy smile, because all the memories of Han Ling'er were beautiful and happy for Han Xiao.

For his only daughter, Han Xiao has always regarded Han Ling'er as the pearl of his palm, and his love and care are far beyond ordinary fathers. The woman Han Xiao loves in his life is famous, and the only memory she leaves to Han Xiao is Han Linger, Han Xiao once made a heavy vow in front of his beloved wife's grave to make Han Ling'er happy, he has been doing this for more than ten years, even if Han Xiao's doting has cultivated Han Linger's arrogant and domineering eldest lady's temper, but he still doesn't mind, for his baby daughter, Han Xiao has always been obedient to her since she was a child, as long as Han Ling'er asks for it, Han Xiao has nothing that she can't do.

However, the Jinling Revolution a year ago caused Han Ling'er to encounter fear and suffering that she had never experienced in her life, and Han Xiao always blamed herself for this. And he was still reluctant to agree to lead the emperor to marry Han Ling'er to Yan Ze, and Han Xiao felt guilty every time he thought about this matter. Han Xiao has always blamed himself for ruining Han Linger's happiness with his own hands, and later when he learned that Han Ling'er was robbed of her marriage, Han Xiao was even more worried about his daughter's fate.

As the so-called father's love is like a mountain, Han Xiao would have nightmares almost every night in the days of Dongjun, dreaming that Han Ling'er was bullied by bad people, and constantly shouted for help at him, the desperate "father" in the dream pierced Han Xiao's heart like a steel needle, if it wasn't for the loyalty to the emperor, I was afraid that Han Xiao would have been unable to hold back and search for Han Ling'er's whereabouts everywhere, but for the sake of the emperor, for the holy domain, and for the safety of the Han family, he couldn't do that. endured it again and again, until he returned to Jinling City, and after the old man Qiu Ming told him about Han Ling'er and Lu Yifan as it was, Han Xiao's original hanging heart quietly landed, especially when he heard that Lu Yifan and Han Ling'er had married in private, his heart was even more happy.

Han Xiao also knew about Lu Yifan's creation of the Soul Sect in the southwest now, and he even knew that the emperor had persuaded Lu Yifan to help him, in other words, it wouldn't be long before he could see his beloved daughter again, and this deep sense of expectation also became an important reason why Han Xiao couldn't sleep for several days and nights.

Men are like this, they always think that achieving great things is the most important thing in this life after living a lifetime, but it is not until they realize the vicissitudes of life that they suddenly find that the most important thing has always been by their side, but they have not cherished it well. At this point, Han Xiao is very similar to Lu Haoqian, they both woke up after encountering an accident.

"Ling'er ......" Han Xiao held a silver hairpin in his hand that was already a little black, and carefully wiped it, "Dad, I'm sorry for you, I made you suffer." Dad swears never again......"

"Click......

"Who?"

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the room, and Han Xiao's consciousness instantly woke up from his memories, only to see him frown slightly, a pair of tiger eyes staring straight at the door, and shouting coldly: "Come out!" Having said that, Han Xiao didn't mean to get up and defend, the confidence in his bones made him ignore the ordinary thieves and bandits a long time ago, and the people outside the room didn't bring him any threatening aura, so Han Xiao could stay still.

However, Han Xiao's words did not make the people outside the room respond, only to see a thin figure slowly walk out of the window, and then a shadow quietly appeared outside the door, and as soon as he saw this person, Han Xiao's originally solemn face instantly turned into shock, and then a complex expression of surprise and joy appeared on his face.

"Spirit...... Ling'er ......"

The person standing outside the door was Han Xiaochao's baby daughter Han Ling'er, he couldn't even believe his eyes at the moment, only to see him pinch his thigh fiercely, until the pain hit his mind, he realized that this time it was not a dream, but his daughter really appeared. Han Xiao suddenly got up and wanted to raise his feet and rush towards Han Ling'er, but Han Ling'er trembled slightly and subconsciously retreated backwards, it was this very inadvertent small action, but Han Xiao's steps were as if they had been filled with lead, and they instantly froze in place.

At this moment, Han Ling'er, who was wearing a purple dress, was standing quietly outside the door, her big watery eyes had long been blurred by tears, compared to Han Xiao's surprise, the expression on Han Linger's face was truly unbelievable, surprised, shocked, missing, cordial, complaining, and overwhelmed...... It's so complicated that even she doesn't know what kind of mood she is feeling at the moment. You must know that Han Ling'er once believed in Han Xiao's death, and she was also trapped in Han Xiao's death and couldn't extricate herself for a long time, washing her face with tears all day long, and when she had gradually accepted all this, Han Xiao suddenly 'resurrected', this kind of surprise and shock mixed with a touch of deceived feeling, intertwined is really mixed and indescribable.

Han Ling'er, like Han Xiao, originally prepared a stomach full of words and wanted to confide in each other, but when the father and daughter reunited after a long absence, they invariably chose to be silent, just looking at each other face-to-face, no one could say half a word, and the four eyes contained too many feelings and thoughts, which made people not know where to start.

Both of them were in tears, both looked complicated, and both were speechless for a long time.

As Han Xiao'er's father, he could feel Han Linger's longing and kindness to him in his heart, but at the same time, he could also clearly feel that Han Ling'er was now a little estranged from him, and Han Xiao himself knew very well what this estrangement was.

The muscles on Han Xiao's face kept writhing because of the excitement of emotion, and that pitiful expression was like that of an old man abandoned by his children, with a strong fatherly love and sincerity that longed for forgiveness.

"Ling'er ......" Finally, it was Han Xiao who opened his mouth first, "Dad...... I'm ashamed of you......"

In the face of Han Xiao's apology, Han Ling'er never said a word, but the tears overflowing in her eyes were getting more and more, she was observing Han Xiao seriously, as if she didn't know the person in front of her who had loved and cared for her in every way.

Yes, Han Ling'er was indeed extremely surprised the moment she saw Han Xiao, but almost at the same time, a touch of grief came to her heart, she couldn't understand why Han Xiao was obviously not dead, but he didn't tell her from beginning to end, but watched her in pain. Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Han Linger was reluctant to leave angrily, but the unquenchable grievances in her heart made her stubborn and unwilling to compromise.

"Ling'er, dad has wronged you...... Han Xiao actually cried bitterly as he spoke, as if he fully understood Han Ling'er's pain with empathy, if this kind of thing was spread, I am afraid that no one would believe it, Han Xiao, the first military general of the dignified Holy Domain, burst into tears, and even cried silently, "Everything is Dad's fault...... Ling'er, Dad doesn't ask for your forgiveness, I just want to hear you tell Dad in person that you have been in danger for more than a year, and you are safe and sound...... If something happens to you, even if your father is dead, what kind of face will you have to face your mother under the Nine Springs?"

Han Ling'er seemed to be holding back her tears, her weaker body was trembling slightly with sobbing, and when she heard her Han Xiao mention her mother, her emotions became more and more excited.

"Ling'er, dad shouldn't hide it from you, shouldn't leave you alone to suffer in Jinling City, shouldn't promise the emperor to let you marry Yan Ze, daddy...... Kneel down and confess your mistake to you......"

After that, Han Xiao's knees bent abruptly, and then the whole person knelt straight down in front of Han Ling'er, his face was covered with tears of remorse and guilt.

"Daddy!"

The emotions that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time finally erupted like a volcano, Han Ling'er could no longer hold back her grievances against Han Xiao, and the longing for Han Xiao in her heart completely defeated her stubbornness, only to see her crying out bitterly, and then the whole person rushed forward and threw herself directly into Han Xiao's arms, holding Han Xiao's bear waist with both hands, just like seeking her father's comfort after being wronged when she was a child, the grievances that had accumulated in Han Linger's heart burst out in an instant, and her tears that kept pouring out not only wet Han Xiao's armor, but also melted Han Xiao's heart。

Outside the room, Lu Yifan, who was nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Han Xiao's father and daughter had reconciled, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"I thought that Yi Ling'er's temper was going to be in a stalemate with my father-in-law for a while?" Lu Yifan said to Ji Yuan beside him with a faint smile, "I didn't expect it to be okay so soon!"

"Although Ling'er has a bit of a temper, she is a gentle and kind girl in her bones!" Ji Yuan smiled bitterly, "Unlike Yi'er, although she is as bland as water about everything on the surface, she is actually a stubborn girl who would rather bend than bend in her bones." ”

"Ji Yuan, hard work pays off, I believe that Yi'er will forgive you one day!" Lu Yifan said with good words.

"En!" Ji Yuan chuckled and nodded, and a thick look of guilt gradually appeared in his eyes, "Yifan, seeing the relationship between Ling'er and Lord Han's father and daughter, I now finally know why Yi'er has such a deep resentment towards me! He can not hate Wu Mei, not hate his dead father, and even hate the people of the beast clan who killed in the Zhuo Wolf Grassland back then, but he only hates me, the brother who accidentally lost her, and can't forgive him......! I've got it!"

"Why is that?" Lu Yifan looked at Ji Yuan in surprise.

"Because of the depth of love, so the hatred is cut!"
