Chapter 145 Guarding
"An An also wants to learn martial arts!"
The study was silent for a moment, and Xie Yunshan almost slipped off his chair.
The old father turned his head and looked at his daughter tenderly, "Why is An so angry?"
He was in no hurry for Jiang An to answer, and stroked her head with his warm palm, "An, if you practice martial arts, it will be very hard, even harder than getting up early every day to go to school..."
“Don’t be lazy for a single day.”
"An An knows~"
Her eyes were bright and clear like crystal. She placed her fat paw in her father's palm and clenched her small hand into a fist.
Time and love washed away her emotions from her previous life, but did not wash away her innate admiration for the strong. This little wolf cub still longed to become strong.
Jiang An looked at her father, and her childish voice echoed throughout the study, "Dad once said that the sword of the strong should not be pointed at the weak..."
"An wants to be like dad, strong enough to protect everyone!"
"Thump...thump..."
That was the sound of Jiang Jichen's heart beating in his chest.
He lowered his narrow eyes and seemed to be looking at another person through Jiang An's eyebrows.
The prince, who always had a strong aura, felt something stuck in his throat, and after a long while he spoke hoarsely, "I failed to protect everyone..."
Tuanzi frowned, her eyes were confused. Did she say something wrong? Why did she feel that her father was so sad?
She explained hastily, her voice firm: "But Dad protected the people of Chongzhou, the palace, and An An..."
"And Yuanyuan!"
"Dad even took in General Xie!"
Xie Yunshan: …
Tuanzi twisted her hips, hugged her father's thighs, and said in a naughty way, "An An, don't worry, Dad is really awesome!"
"Dad is the most powerful here at An'an!"
She sat down on her father's boots like an octopus.
Jiang Jichen was amused by her and the depression in his heart dissipated.
He held her in his lap and sat her down, gently ruffling her hair with his hands, "So, An wants to learn martial arts because he wants to become as powerful as dad?"
In front of Xie Yunshan, Jiang Jichen pressed the mechanism on the table, and a secret compartment popped out, containing the commander-in-chief's seal.
He handed the small seal to Jiang An and held her hand, "An, you know that behind this 'power' is the responsibility that must be taken..."
He is the Prince of Zhenguo, but not the Prince of Zhenguo appointed by the Emperor.
He is the prince of Nan Shang.
Jiang Jichen has never been stationed here for the royal family. Initially, he wanted to find a way to survive, but now he just wants to be worthy of the people's kneeling.
He was once a teenager, and he also thought about forgetting the past, traveling around the world, and living a happy life.
But after becoming the commander-in-chief guarding the border, Jiang Jichen could no longer lift the burden on his shoulders.
Jiang An lowered his head to look at the small seal. The tiger head was lifelike and beautifully carved...
She held the seal in her palm nonchalantly and smiled brightly at her father.
"An An wants to protect such a powerful father~"
"Then An An will have to become even more powerful than Dad!"
She rolled up her sleeves and stared with wide eyes, "An An still has many people she wants to protect~"
She doesn't want to take on anything, she just wants to protect everything she has in her home.
She wanted to protect her father, the old fox, and her classmates... and the uncle who gave her biscuits on the street... and many other people...
Jiang Jichen gently covered his daughter's clear eyes with his hands and sighed softly.
Ah An, do you know that guarding with a sword is much more difficult than killing someone...
Jiang Jichen: "Okay, then An will learn martial arts!"
"Once I have made the arrangements, you will come with Young Master Qi, and I will teach you personally, okay?"
Xie Yunshan slammed the table and waved his hand, "Consider me one of you!"
"I have money. I can buy any martial arts you want!"
Jiang Jichen raised his eyebrows, leaned his upper body lazily on the back of the chair, put his hands on the armrests of the armchair, and looked at him with cold eyes.
He, the king of a country, still lacks martial arts skills?
In the prince's eyes, Xie Yunshan = conspicuous bag.
After driving the annoying Xie Yunshan and the innocent young Master Qi out of the study, Jiang Jichen rubbed his daughter's round face.
"In a few days, I will take you to a place..."
Jiang An tilted his head, "Where are you going? Do you need to ask for leave from the teacher again?"
The old father saw through his daughter's thoughts and chuckled, "Yes, I have to ask for leave from the teacher..."
"Hehe~"
……
Three days later in the morning,
Jiang An was arranged by her father to change into a newly made red dress. The delicate and pretty girl in red was so exquisite that people could not take their eyes off her.
The golden bracelets on her wrists and the gilded ruby hairpin hanging on her hair bag were particularly luxurious, the jade ornaments hanging around her waist, and even the oriental pearls on her rookie shoes were bigger than before.
Tuanzi came out from behind the screen, laughing and turning around happily for her father to see.
"Dad, isn't An An pretty~"
Jiang Jichen, wearing a moon-white cloud brocade robe, leaned on the soft couch, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, "It looks good..."
Butler Sun stood outside the door, "Master, the carriage is ready."
He nodded, stood up and took Jiang An's hand, "Let's go."
"Dad, you haven't told An An where you are going yet?"
Why are you dressing An An so beautifully? Is she going to meet some important person?
The tall man walked very slowly to accommodate his daughter. He turned his head and said in a low voice, "I am taking An to see an old friend."
Jiang An: "Is it important to Dad?"
Jiang Jichen: "It is very important to this king, but for An, it is enough to just meet him once."
Tuanzi nodded, not quite understanding, and continued to walk forward happily, knowing that her father was there for her.
At the gate of the palace, Meng Buren, Huo Lang and Hu Yan were all there. They were talking about something and did not look very happy.
Seeing Jiang Jichen coming out of the mansion, they stood in a row and saluted to the prince together.
"Meet the prince..."
Jiang Jichen: "Get up..."
"Yes!"
Huo Lang and Meng couldn't bear to climb onto the horse. Steward Sun placed a basket of something behind the carriage. When a gust of wind blew, the incense and candles inside were revealed.
Jiang An happened to see this and tilted his head in confusion, feeling that something was a little strange today...
It’s fine that the old fox is dressed in white, but why do General Huo and Lieutenant General Meng, who prefer dark colors, also wear plain clothes?
Come to think of it, even her father was wearing plain clothes, but she was arranged by her father to wear new clothes...
Don't mention it, it's pretty good looking, hehe~
Tuanzi got on the carriage with a silly smile and full of questions.
A long line of people marched out of the north gate and headed towards the outskirts of the city.
When they stopped swaying again, Tuanzi was already sleeping soundly in Nioniou's arms.
When Jiang Jichen fished the man out, he raised his hand and flicked Jiang An's forehead, "Wake up..."
"Um... Dad, are we there yet?"
The sleepy Tuanzi blinked his eyes in disbelief, and pointed with his fat hands at the winding and rugged path in front of him and the deserted environment around it.
"Dad, does your friend live here?"
Won’t your treasure be taken away by wolves at night?
Jiang Jichen looked at the top of the hill with a complicated look in his eyes, "Yes, he lives here."
Meng Bu Ren also looked towards the top of the mountain, his gloomy eyes tinged with sadness, "Miss, the top of the mountain is actually very beautiful..."
"There is a peach forest there, and it will bear a lot of fruits at this time."
Looking back from the top of the mountain, you can see Chongzhou Prefecture, and to the south is Kyoto...
