late at night.

Chen Lang hugged Guoguo with his left hand and his wife with his right hand. The three of them sat on the bed, enjoying the last warmth before leaving.

Guoguo knew that her father was going on a long journey, but she was very sensible and did not cry or make a fuss. She just snuggled in Chen Lang's arms and asked her father to tell her fairy tales.

Even though his eyelids were almost stuck together, Guoguo still forced himself not to go to sleep.

She knew that when she opened her eyes tomorrow, her father would not be at home.

It's good to see daddy more and listen to his words more.

"The prince brought the crystal slippers to Cinderella. Cinderella's stepmother asked her three daughters to try on the shoes, but they couldn't put them on no matter what. The second daughter even cut off a piece of her heel, but still couldn't put the shoes on..."

"Erlang..."

"Ok?"

"Guoguo fell asleep."

Chen Lang looked down and saw that Guoguo, who had been up all night, finally couldn't hold back anymore and fell into a deep sleep.

But even when the little girl fell asleep, she still held Chen Lang's sleeve tightly.

Chen Lang kissed Guoguo on the cheek and had no intention of putting her on the crib.

Tonight, he wants to spend it hugging his wife and daughter.

Yin time, four quarters.

Chen Lang, who hadn't slept all night, tiptoed out of bed.

After putting on his clothes, he turned around to kiss his wife and daughter, but found that Guoguo and Li Xiuzhi were already awake.

The mother and daughter sat at the head of the bed, their eyes red.

This scene made Chen Lang's heart suddenly tighten.

Guoguo rubbed his eyes and said, "Daddy, come back."

Chen Lang walked forward and touched his daughter's face. "She will be back."

After saying that, he kissed his wife and daughter on the face.

"gone!"

Chen Lang turned around cruelly and strode away.

After he left, Guoguo finally couldn't help crying.

"I want daddy... I want daddy..."

Li Xiuzhi hugged her daughter and let the tears flow down her face.

"Guoguo, don't cry. Daddy promised you that he would come back, and he will definitely do it."

……

outside the city.

Chen Lang jumped out of the carriage with Xiao Huihui by his hand, and then asked Xiao Qi to go back.

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then said anxiously: "Master, won't you take me with you?"

Chen Lang patted Xiao Qi's shoulder and said, "Xiao Qi, listen to me."

"After I leave, you will be the only man in the family. You will have to take care of many things."

"If something happens, first go to Lords Chang Anmin and Wang Yunzhang. If even they can't solve it, go to the Duke's Mansion and find Lord Zhu."

Then he handed the jade pendant that Zhu Sui'an had given him to Xiao Qi: "This is a token of trust, keep it."

Xiaoqi bit her lips, trying hard not to cry.

"Sir, the journey to Liao is long and arduous, and you won't even have anyone to serve you..."

Chen Lang Xiaoran smiled and said, "Of course not. This is an ambassadorial group. There will be many servants to serve me."

"But our family consists of only women. Big Brother Sun has to take care of the winery, so the family has to rely on you."

Xiao Qi raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the family."

"If anything happens to Madam, I will bring my head to you!"

Chen Lang said: "I believe you, go back."

Xiao Qi got on the carriage and said, "Master, take care!"

Chen Lang waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

The carriage rumbled away and soon disappeared into the night.

Chen Lang rubbed Xiao Huihui's head and said, "From now on, we will depend on each other."

Bringing Xiao Huihui into the gathering courtyard, Li Junhui appeared in the courtyard like a regularly refreshed NPC.

After taking a look at Chen Lang, he clapped his hands and said, "Take the things out."

In an instant, more than a dozen men in black came out of the house carrying two tables.

The table was still covered with a black cloth.

Li Junhui, pushed by one of his subordinates, came to the table. Seeing Chen Lang still standing in the distance, he said, "Come here. You can't see clearly from so far away."

Chen Lang walked forward, and Li Jun immediately lifted the black cloth.

There are cold weapons on the table.

Swords, axes, crossbows and arrows, to name a few.

Li Junhui picked up a sleeve arrow and pointed at the hidden button on it and said, "This is a mechanism. When you use it, remember to unfasten it, otherwise the arrow will not be able to be shot out."

"See this string? Tie it to your middle finger. Once the mechanism is activated, just clench your fist and the arrow will be shot."

"But there are only three arrows, and they can only kill within three steps. Beyond three steps, they can only injure people, or the opponent will dodge them."

"So when you use it, remember to stay very close to the enemy. Most importantly, don't use it if the enemy is wearing armor."

Chen Lang blinked, "Uncle San, I'm not stupid... Shooting arrows while wearing armor is like courting death."

Li Junhui said calmly, "I know you're not stupid, but I've seen many smart people make mistakes like this when their lives are at stake."

"You must take this with you. As for the other weapons, you can take whatever is most convenient for you."

Chen Lang said, "Third Uncle, I've only been learning martial arts from Sister Qing for less than a month. I'm a complete novice in martial arts. Even if you give me these weapons, I won't be able to use them."

"This hidden arrow is enough, and I also made a weapon for self-defense, which works pretty well."

Li Junhui became interested: "What weapon? Take it out and let me see it."

Chen Lang took out the spray and said, "The venom in here was mixed by Sister Qing. Just spray it in the enemy's face and it will knock down a strong man in a few breaths."

"The only drawback is that, considering concealment, the tube is made very small, and the dose of venom can only be used against one person at a time."

Li Junhui looked at the spray several times and found that this little gadget was indeed very ingenious. He said, "I didn't expect that you are also a master of hidden weapons. This thing is much more interesting than the locust stone."

"Since you like playing dirty, bring these things with you."

Then he pointed to the pile of porcelain bottles on the table and said, "These are all poisons."

Chen Lang walked forward, looked at the porcelain bottles, smiled, and said, "I like these."

Li Jun replied, "The effects of each bottle of poison are written on the paper. Remember to remember them carefully so you don't use them incorrectly later."

Chen Lang picked up the slips of paper and compared them one by one: "Knockout drug, Chuanchang powder, Peacock gall, Qianji powder... Eh? This is..."

"aphrodisiac?"

"Uncle San, is aphrodisiac considered poison?"

Li Junhui said calmly, "Of course it counts. Taking too much aphrodisiac can also kill people. But the greatest use of aphrodisiacs is to torture people. When interrogating prisoners, giving them this is even more effective than torture."

"But remember, this aphrodisiac is specially made by the Imperial Prison Department. Don't take it for fun."

Chen Lang said seriously, "Uncle San, I'm so young and vigorous, how could I possibly eat these? You underestimate me."

Li Junhui ignored him and said, "Once you have chosen, follow me. It's time to introduce you to the main person of this mission."
