The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

Outside Chang'an City, Xu Zhang stayed by Xiao He's side without leaving her side, waiting for Chen Huai'an to arrive.

He knew very well that Chen Huai'an had offended many people and had even been assassinated recently, so he dared not take Xiao He away recklessly.

Because of the disaster relief efforts, there are soldiers guarding this place. With everyone watching, as long as I stay here, Xiaohe will be safe.

Once Chen Huai'an arrives, everything will be fine.

"Sir, when will you help me find my mother?"

Xu Zhang was very anxious, and Xiao He was even more anxious. The person in front of her washed her face, then sent two people away, and then did nothing more.

Xiaohe was very scared, and even more so, she felt uneasy.

Xu Zhang said gently, "Miss, you don't need to call me 'Lord Official.' I've already sent someone to find your uncle. Once he arrives, everything will be fine."

"Uncle..." Xiao He, who had been a little hesitant, brightened up when she heard that she was looking for her uncle.

From a young age, Chen Sujin always talked about her uncle. Every time her mother mentioned her uncle, she would have a proud look on her face.

Although Xiaohe had never met her uncle over the years, she was willing to believe in him.

"Really? When is my uncle coming? Can my uncle help Xiaohe find her mother?" Xiaohe mustered her courage and asked timidly, her little fingers twirling the corner of her smelly hemp clothing, looking very uneasy.

Xu Zhang laughed: "Of course, your uncle..."

"Xiao He!"

Before Xu Zhang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a slightly trembling shout.

The two looked in the direction the sound came from, and Chen Huai'an was standing not far away.

To be honest, he felt guilty because he learned Xiao He's name from Wang Bai.

He had been urging the coachman on and on, extremely anxious, but when he finally saw Xiao He, that thin girl who looked so much like him and had the same eyes as his sister...

Even the strongest being, capable of lifting a tripod, could not move at this moment.

At that moment, he realized that this was his niece, the biological child of his sister Chen Sujin!

"uncle......"

Xiaohe was now certain that the handsome man in the distance, dressed in brocade robes, was her mother's beloved uncle.

Wow~

The little girl could no longer hold back and burst into tears. She didn't know why she was crying, but she just couldn't stop. The fear and grievances that had been building up for so long burst forth in an instant.

She remembered what her mother had once said: "Xiao He, if one day your mother is gone, you must go to Chang'an City and find your uncle. Remember, your uncle's name is Chen Huai'an."

"When you see your uncle, you must kowtow with each step and address him as 'Uncle' each time you kneel, to greet him."

"Because he is my greatest pride in this life, and my only support in this world..."

Xiao He has never forgotten her mother's teachings.

So she knelt down again, crying as she knelt.

This time, however, she knelt willingly, her small forehead hitting the ground heavily.

"Uncle, sob...I'm looking for...my mother!"

This kneeling completely shattered Chen Huai'an's heart!

This is his sister's child!

It was that sister who had cared for him since he was a child, who always thought of him no matter what delicious food she had, who ground ink and lit lamps for him while he studied, who fanned him to keep away mosquitoes while he slept, and who even sold herself to raise money for him to take the imperial examinations—her child!

Chen Huai'an almost staggered as he rushed over and scooped the little girl up from the ground.

Xiao He's body was as light as a withered leaf, and holding her in his arms made his heart ache.

Chen Huai'an patted the little girl's back awkwardly, his whole body tense, afraid of hurting her. His voice was hoarse: "Don't cry, Xiao He, don't cry. Uncle is here, Uncle is here."

Xiao He clutched his clothes tightly, refusing to let go, burying her face in his chest and crying sobbing uncontrollably, repeatedly chanting the five words, "Uncle, find Mother."

Chen Huai'an felt a tightness in his chest. Suppressing his surging emotions, he looked up at Xu Zhang, who was walking quickly towards him. His gentle gaze from before was now as cold as ice: "Explain clearly, what exactly happened?"

Xu Zhang didn't dare to delay and explained the whole story in a few words. There were three local thugs surnamed Huang in the crowd of disaster victims who kidnapped Chen Sujin in public. Xiao He was rescued by passersby and ran to the porridge shed.

"Three people with the surname Huang..." Chen Huai'an read it aloud, veins bulging on his forehead and neck.

He bent down to wipe away Xiaohe's tears, his tone extremely gentle: "Xiaohe, be good, come to the city with your uncle. Your uncle will go and find your mother right now, okay?"

Xiao He nodded with tears in her eyes, her little hands gripping his sleeve tightly, refusing to let go for even a moment.

Chen Huai'an turned around with her in his arms, then stopped as if he had thought of something, turned his head and said, "Xu Zhang, is that right? I'll remember you."

"Find the person who saved Xiaohe and bring them to my residence."

"Yes, Duke!" Xu Zhang was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement.

After giving his instructions, Chen Huai'an took Xiao He back onto the carriage, and Wang Bai drove back to the city.

At this time, Chang'an was already in a state of panic.

The officials of the Jingzhao Prefecture, the patrolmen of the Jinwu Guard, and the military officers of each ward all came out.

The streets and alleys were filled with search teams, knocking on doors and turning every secluded empty courtyard and private human market upside down.

The three Huang brothers were terrified.

"Third brother... are these people looking for us? I just heard they're looking for three brothers surnamed Huang who came from the disaster-stricken area outside the city?"

In a secluded alley, Boss Huang looked like he had just survived a disaster.

They had just received their money and were about to have a nice meal when they found themselves being looked for everywhere.

No kidding, we're really looking for them everywhere. No matter where we go, people are asking about them.

This scared the three brothers half to death.

"I...I don't know!" Old Huang was also terrified, not understanding what had happened.

"Do you think... it might be because of that woman Chen Sujin?" Huang Lao Er's voice was tinged with fear.

This kind of operation is terrifying; it's a city-wide manhunt. No matter where you go, there are people looking for you.

This is absolutely outrageous!

"No... that can't be, right?"

Huang Laosan was somewhat incredulous: "If that woman had such a powerful background, how could she have ended up as a vagrant?"

Boss Huang also thought it impossible and angrily said, "Then which deity have we offended? Why would they send such a big entourage to find us?"

His voice was a little louder than usual, which immediately caught the attention of the patrolling guards, and a team of guards rushed in.

The three Huang brothers were instantly terrified. The youngest brother, Huang, stammered, "Sir, what happened? We are law-abiding citizens!"

The leader, the military commander, glanced at the three of them and completely ignored their words: "They are indeed three brothers. Take them away first and let the disaster victims identify them!"

In this era, there aren't so many rules. They don't care if you're right or wrong, they just arrest you first.

Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!
