Chapter 61 Breaking the Covenant
Since Xuanwu Jianmen took the initiative to seek revenge due to Chen Qing's death, once the other party learned that the action had failed, the second revenge would inevitably become more fierce, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.
If Chen An was alone, he would not be afraid no matter how powerful Xuanwu Jianmen was. As long as he dived into the deep mountains and forests, they would not be able to find anyone if they wanted to seek revenge.
But the problem is that he brought a scoundrel, especially Tang Xuanfu, the father of the little girl, is burdened with many mysteries. It is difficult to guarantee that no one will make a fuss about the little girl. Although Yiyou Escort Company undertakes the task of escort, in Chen An's opinion, once something happens to the little girl, the people of Yiyou Escort Company will definitely not be able to protect her, so Chen An must be in charge of herself during this period to protect the little girl's safety.
Through the brief negotiations with the middle-aged man of Xuanwu Jianmen before, he found that the other party turned a blind eye to the little girl himself, as if he was coming to seek revenge. This shows that Xuanwu Jianmen did not understand what Chen Qing did, otherwise the middle-aged man would definitely not have let the carriage go.
Now that a gang in the Jianmen of Xuanwu, the Jianmen, knows Chen Qing's death, I believe the person behind the scenes who instructed Chen Qing to assassinate the little girl and her daughter also received the message. Therefore, Chen An had reason to suspect that the other party would secretly take action against the little girl again.
Tang Xuanfu, Tang Xuanfu! How many unknown secrets have you hidden? If it weren’t for your relationship, how could the little girl and daughter fall into such a miserable field?
Chen An has no favoritism for the irresponsible father of the little girl.
In order to delay the time when Xuanwu Jianmen learned that the middle-aged man and others had come to seek revenge again, Chen An could only temporarily cover up the truth by destroying the corpse and traces. He did not ask to hide it for ten or half a month, just five days. After five days, he could send the little girl to Tang Xuanfu in Jiangzhou. At that time, the sky was high and the sea was wide. What could Xuanwu Jianmen do to him?
He led a horse left by the other party, and the other horses took off their saddles and bridles and released them directly into the mountains and forests.
The Yiyou Escort Company had already walked a long way to escort the little girl, and it would have taken a lot of time to catch up with her legs alone. Therefore, Chen An decided to ride a horse and catch up. It was only the first time he rode a horse, and he was very unfamiliar in all aspects. If he hadn't relied on his strong physical control ability, he might have been overturned to the ground.
From the initial slow walking to the light running, Chen An spent a total of ten minutes, thanks to the horse's gentle enough relationship, he went north along the official road. After about an hour, he saw the shadow of the Yiyou Escort Workers from afar.
They seemed to notice someone chasing him, and then immediately stopped the team and put on a guard. After seeing the person who came clearly, Li Pao Head immediately came forward.
"Brother Chen, it turns out that you are back safely. May I ask...how are you and everyone in Xuanwu Sword Sect?"
"I killed them all."
Chen An slowly pulled the horse's reins and stopped. He looked at Li Pao Head with anxiety and said bluntly.
"Brother Chen...you..."
When Li Biaotou heard this, he felt dizzy. He covered his forehead and kept shaking his head and sighing.
Chen An turned over and got off the horse, handed the reins of the horse to a young stubborn trooper next to him, and then walked straight towards the carriage.
"I'm back."
He came to the carriage and said softly.
The next moment, a small figure ran out of the carriage and instantly hung on Chen An.
"Uncle! You are finally back. You don't know how worried I was about you just now..."
Chen An gently stroked the head of the little girl in his arms and said, "Don't worry, uncle will always be alive to protect you."
"Is what the uncle said true? Will you always protect me?" the little girl raised her tearful face and said.
"……Um."
In fact, what he wants to say is that I will always protect you until you are safely escorted to your father.
But in the end he only said one word.
He didn't know why he answered this.
Perhaps, he just didn't want to hurt the little girl's heart anymore.
"Brother Chen..."
At this time, Li Piaotou stepped forward with a worried look on his face and disturbed the two of them.
"Be good, go back to the carriage and wait for me first."
Chen An rubbed the little girl's hair and said.
"OK."
The little girl looked at Li Biaotou and obviously felt that Li Biaotou had something to say with Chen An, so she responded very well.
When the little girl returned to the carriage, Chen An and Li Biaotou walked to a secluded place far away from everyone. Li Biaotou, who could no longer control his worries, suddenly cried and said.
"I said Brother Chen! You are going to put our righteous friends in the water and fire..."
"Teacher Li, are you planning to break the promise?" Chen An interrupted Tiacher Li's complaint and said directly.
"This... Brother Chen, since you are so straightforward, I won't hide it from you anymore. I do have this idea." Li Piaotou sighed.
"Are you afraid that Xuanwu Sword Sect will be involved in your righteous friend's escort business because of my relationship?" Chen An said.
"Yes, because our Yiyou Escort Business really can't offend Xuanwu Sword Sect, which has a great fortune." Li Pao Head said truthfully. "If we take the blame, we will have some weaknesses to let our fellow practitioners in Xinzhou decide for us. However, if you have killed so many Xuanwu Sword Sect now, once the Xuanwu Sword Sect is pursued, maybe our Yiyou Escort Business will treat you as your accomplice."
"Li Pao Head, you have a wrongdoing and a debt. I am the one who wants to seek revenge on Xuanwu Jianmen. It is nothing to do with your righteous friend's escort business. I will explain this clearly to the other party. Could it be that if Xuanwu Jianmen fails to seek revenge, you will be angry with you?" Chen An said.
"Brother Chen, you are right. Xuanwu Sword Sect has always been known for protecting shortcomings. I know that you have great martial arts skills. The people from Xuanwu Sword Sect may not be able to kill you. In order to save face, Xuanwu Sword Sect will really use our Yiyou Escort Business to take advantage of the situation!" Li Pao Head smiled bitterly. "You will be happy and happy when you run away. Dozens of people from our Yiyou Escort Business can't survive. So, Brother Chen, please let us go."
"…Yes, but you have to promise me two things."
Chen An said in silence for a long time.
"Brother Chen, please tell me." Li Paotou said immediately.
"First of all, you have to escort our last journey, that is, to arrive at the next county town, and the escort contract between us will be automatically invalidated; secondly, I need to ask your escort shop to stay in the county town for ten days, and you can only return to Xinzhou after ten days!" Chen Andao.
"Are you worried about us informing us?" Li Biaotou woke up.
"Tao Li Pao, you are a smart person. You should know what I mean. Of course, you should also understand the consequences of not listening to advice." Chen An looked at him calmly and said.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen, we will definitely keep your advice in mind, and thank you for your great kindness." Li Paotou lowered his head and hurriedly bowed to Chen An and bowed his fists.
