Chapter 169 Tiger Talisman
"Hey, what is this?"
The little girl opened the plain little wooden box and looked at the small object carefully.
The trio who were helping the young lady sort the presents looked up.
The thing in Jiang An's hand is strange yet familiar...
Zhengyan swallowed and shifted his gaze from the tiger talisman in the young lady's hand to the small wooden box in her other hand.
So he carried the tiger talisman that could command 500,000 national defense troops and acted recklessly all day long?
Thinking of this, the young guard grabbed his brother's arm and his legs went weak!
Zhenglu ignored his unlucky brother whose heart was deeply hurt, and looked at Nioniuo.
Nioniuo lowered her head and continued to put the hairpins into the box.
Her meaning was very clear. Things like this that require explanation through words should of course be done by Zhenglu.
She is just an ordinary mute...
"Miss, this is a tiger talisman..."
Jiang An looked at Zheng Lu with confused eyes, "So?"
This tiger talisman is divided into two, one half is in the hands of the prince, and the other half is in the hands of His Majesty. When the two tiger talismans are put into one, they can command the 500,000 national defense troops in the three border states.
The half of the tiger talisman in His Majesty's hand was useless and the soldiers of the National Protection Army refused to recognize it.
Therefore, the small piece of bronze in the little girl's hand is worth most of the Southern Business Kingdom!
Jiang An held the tiger talisman in his paw, which looked like a crouching tiger. No one knew what he was thinking...
She opened her little mouth and bit the tiger talisman.
"Well... it's not Jinza..."
The saliva-stained tiger talisman even looked a bit pitiful in the little girl's hand.
Zheng Lu's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand to stop her and then lowered it again. Thousands of words finally turned into one sentence, "Yes, it's gold-plated."
Jiang An opened the small pocket on his waist, stuffed the tiger talisman into it, and patted it with his fat paws.
In this small pocket, there is not only a whistle that can wither Jiang Jichen's secret group, but also a tiger talisman~
After getting off the Zhaixing Tower, she skipped towards Jiang Jichen’s main courtyard.
The small bag was dangling around the young lady's waist, making Zhengyan's heart tremble!
"Dad~"
"What's for lunch?"
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Jichen put away the envelope. At the little girl's call, the gloom on his face mostly disappeared.
The little girl leaned on the table, resting her chin on the edge, blinking her round eyes as she looked at the envelope that her father had placed under the book.
She asked curiously, "What is Dad looking at?"
Jiang Jichen called people to his side and took out the letter and handed it to his daughter.
Jiang An was stunned. She held the letter in her hands and looked at her father with round eyes. "Can I really read it directly?"
Seeing her like this, the old father's heart was melted. He bent his fingers and tapped his daughter's head gently.
"Everything that belongs to Dad will be yours from now on, just look at it."
"Oh, all right~"
The little girl unfolded the letter while mumbling to herself.
"An An doesn't want Daddy's, Daddy keeps it for himself..."
"Dad will live for a long, long time and stay with An An forever!"
Jiang Jichen smiled cheerfully, his narrow eyes full of doting, "Okay, Dad will live a long life!"
Jiang An's nose twitched. When the letter paper was unfolded, it was filled with fragrance, the same scent of sandalwood as in the temple.
The person who sent this letter was the Empress Dowager who lived in the Huguo Temple...
Last time she wanted to take Jiang An to the Huguo Temple in Kyoto but failed. This time, on Jiang An's birthday, she mentioned sending some maids and servants who knew the palace rules and etiquette to the Zhenguo Palace to take care of the little girl.
The letter also had the queen dowager's seal on it. Moreover, when it was delivered, the team had already secretly set out from Kyoto, leaving Jiang Jichen no chance to stop them.
The little girl who was very happy just now got a lot of troublesome people and troublesome things~
Her eyebrows drooped, her eyes looked pitiful, "An An doesn't want to learn any rules..."
She looked at Jiang Jichen and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it good for An An to do this?"
Why should we learn those rules that bind people...
It’s already tiring to go to school, but An An doesn’t want to go back to school!
The old father quickly nodded in agreement, "Ah An, this is great."
The little girl smiled and approached her father, saying softly, "Then can we let them go back~"
"of course can."
"but…"
Jiang Jichen held his daughter and sat down with him, "I need Ah An to help Dad."
Eh!
The little girl patted her chest and said, "An An, it's OK!"
"So, you want to fight?"
Jiang Jichen: "Ha... no fighting!"
Jiang An pouted in disappointment, "Okay."
"Did the teacher tell you about traveling and studying in the academy?"
The girl dangling her legs nodded, "I told you so~"
She imitated the Master's way of holding his beard, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles, neither of them should be neglected!"
I often see old scholars who have been buried in piles of papers for decades, but once they leave their study, they lose their sense of direction. (From: Volume 23 of "Lüyuan Conghua")
Jiang Jichen touched the little girl's head, his eyes flashing with reluctance, "Aan, do you want to go?"
Jiang An scratched her head. She wanted to go see what the Southland described in the book was like, but she also didn't want to leave her father's side...
The little girl grabbed Jiang Jichen's robe, raised her head, and asked without thinking, "Will Dad miss An An?"
Although she was young, she knew that her father could not leave this land at will. There were too many things here that were more important than accompanying her to travel around.
“I would.”
"I will write to you often and send someone to follow Ah An..."
He would wonder what his daughter did today, whether she was happy, whether she ate well and slept well...
Being cared for unreservedly, it felt like being in a honey pot, with soft cotton around her, allowing her to swim in love.
She gave her father a big bear hug, "An An will miss Daddy too!"
Jiang Jichen protected the little girl's back, looked down at her soft face, and the reluctance in his eyes grew stronger.
He seemed to be comforting himself, or his daughter, and whispered, "It will only take two months..."
"I have told the Master that this year I will only visit Mao and Jun states."
Maozhou, Junzhou and Chongzhou are the three major border states. In these two states, there are 230,000 national defense troops.
They will all become Jiang An's confidence...
Jiang An tilted her head, leaning on her father's arm, and said softly, "Wait for An An to come back and bring a gift for Dad!"
"Okay, I'll wait..."
Ever since Jiang Jichen told the little girl about studying abroad, during the half month of preparation for departure, Jiang An was like a steamed cake, automatically sticking to her father wherever he was.
She even worked harder in her daily martial arts practice...
Xie Yunshan took the gun from the little girl, untied the sandbag tied to her legs, and took her to sit on the martial arts training ground to rest.
He snatched the handkerchief from Nianniang's hand and wiped Jiang An's sweat.
When he caught a glimpse of the calluses on her hands, a look of distress flashed across his eyes.
General Xie poked the little girl who looked like cotton wool, "You are just a little girl, you can't have calluses on your hands..."
"I have some lotus cream. I'll ask Yun Yi to bring it to me later."
Jiang An opened his short hands and said as a matter of course: "You will get calluses when you hold a gun. Dad has it, and you have it too."
"An An has calluses, which proves that I'm awesome!"
She even felt a little proud when she said this.
Xie Yunshan sighed helplessly, put his big hand on her head, and said earnestly, "Do you really want to become powerful?"
