At this moment, Xiao Zhan hugged Nian Nian and burst into tears.
Since he learned that his youngest daughter Niannian died tragically, although he has shown grief and anger without feeling tired at all, it does not mean that he is not in pain or sad.
In fact, the grief in his heart for Nian Nian's death was no less than that of Yan Yan.
It's just that he is the commander-in-chief of the army and the king of the Xiliang Army. He stands too high, and he is still at a critical node. He has to face the three major forces of the Demon Tribe, the Southern Barbarians, and King Yu. The whole army is in a tense and nervous state.
In a worried state, all eyes were fixed on him, the commander-in-chief.
If he acts strong and shows no fear, the army will feel at ease.
Once he cries, is heartbroken, and shows cowardice, the army will lose its backbone and will be disappointed in him.
Therefore, he has been enduring the grief of losing Nian Nian and has never shed tears in front of others.
But in fact, secretly, he shed a lot of tears looking at the portrait of Nian Nian that Yu Yan had drawn for him before.
He blamed himself and hated himself for not protecting Nian Nian.
He was in pain, blaming himself for not finishing the war in Beiyi quickly and returning to Xiliang.
He was sad and regretted that he had never held his little girl once.
Only those who have experienced it will understand the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person to someone else. There is nothing more tragic than this in the world.
He thought that he would never be able to hold his little daughter Nian Nian in his arms forever in this life.
However, he never thought that the cicada who was with his daughter An An and felt like brothers was actually his little daughter Nian Nian, but he didn't recognize it and almost missed the opportunity to find his little daughter.
If it weren't for An'an, who couldn't bear to know Zhi, felt sorry for Zhi, and wanted to come back and leave Erlang with Zhi, then how much suffering would her little daughter Niannian have to endure!
Thinking back to Cicada, I was only four years old and had to take care of an old man. In the ice and snow of Beiliang, he was wearing thin clothes and had no support. He had to rely on his weak body to catch fish, dig out bird eggs, and collect vegetable leaves to make a living.
My heart hurts like a knife!
How has my little daughter Niannian survived these years?
"Woooo!!!"
Niannian was stunned for a while, then started to cry, and asked in disbelief: "Uncle, you didn't lie to Niannian, did you? Are you Niannian's father? Niannian has a father? Niannian's father is An'an.
My sister’s father?”
"right!"
Xiao Zhan nodded heavily, holding Cicada's little face that was blown by the north wind and full of cracks, and cried while saying: "I am Nian Nian's father. Nian Nian's mother told her father that Nian Nian is very well-behaved.
, every time my mother went out to recruit soldiers, Nian Nian would sit in front of the house, waiting for her to come back. As soon as her mother came back, Nian Nian would hug her and give her her favorite food."
