C463 354 Looking for an Old Friend
He might as well not bother to talk endlessly and leave in a carefree manner.
When he left, all the military officers of Northgard were reluctant to part with him and cried.
The old man's departure indicated the end of an era.
He dedicated his best youth, his most hardworking and hot-blooded years to the country and the people.
He had yet to properly look at the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Thus, he had brought a bag with him. Starting from Northgard, he would slowly look at the country and people he protected and loved.
During this period of time, he encountered many interesting things and many unfair things. Although the old man had retired, the toughness had already fused into his bones.
His first stop was Northgard, and his last stop was definitely Cloud City.
When he had seen enough and was tired of playing, he would return to the Cloud City to enjoy the pleasures of heaven and earth. But before that, he wanted to see his old friend.
He went to the Imperial Capital and looked at the chief. Although the chief was old, his body was very tough.
The two of them were good friends, comrades at the same time.
However, one of them chose to work in politics, and the other chose to join the army. The two different choices ultimately led to the same destination, both for the country and the people.
This might be the last time the two of them met, so both of them especially cherished the opportunity to meet this time.
The two of them drank tea and recalled all kinds of things in the past. After dinner, the Head Chief personally sent their old friend to the airport.
After a few twists and turns, the old man came to the East Sea and met Zheng Hai.
When they met again, they smiled and wiped away all the grudges. All the things that had happened in the past vanished like smoke.
The two of them chatted a lot. After the old man left, Zheng Hai said, "Dragon King, I am not as good as you!"
Dragon King smiled and left without saying anything.
After wandering around the East Sea for two days and experiencing the local customs and customs, the old man embarked on the journey to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is good, the scenery is good, the sun rises, the river is red, how can you not remember Jiangnan?
The good memories of his first love were all in Jiangnan, and that was his best memory.
He pushed open a small courtyard. The courtyard was not big, but it was very elegant. An old lady with silver hair sat in the courtyard and put the soles of her shoes.
She was humming an inexplicable tune in Jiangnan. Her voice was mellow.
"Sufen!"
The old man shouted.
The old man called Sufen looked up. Her eyes were a little cloudy. "Who is it? Who is calling me?"
"It's me, Lil'Dino!"
"Lil'Dino?!"
The shoe in the old man's hand fell to the ground in an instant. When the old man approached, the old man finally saw his face clearly.
Although he was already in his old age, he could still see his handsome face in the past.
The two of them looked at each other, speechless. They had been separated for more than 40 years.
"I thought you died on the battlefield."
The old lady smiled. The old man was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that fifty years ago, that pure and innocent girl hid among the flowers and smiled. That fleeting glance was his whole life.
"My life is big, the King of Hell won't accept me!"
"Then why did you only come to find me now?"
The old lady's words were somewhat grumpy.
"I'm sorry, Sufen, I've made you wait for so long these years!"
The old man felt indebted to Sufen. All these years, Sufen had been waiting for him alone. It had been so torturous for an uncertain future. However, this time, he would not leave. Even if he did, he would take her away with him!
The two old men chatted in the courtyard for a long time. They talked about the experiences of these years and all the things that had happened over the years.
Sufen had not married in his entire life, and the old man had not married in his entire life.
The old man secretly sighed at his own good luck. He was single, but he was able to obtain Sufen's favor and be with her for the rest of his life.
Old Man Su stayed here with Old Man Sufen for three days. Three days later, Old Man Su left. Of course, he still had to return. He was only going to meet an old friend.
In the Jiangnan military compound, the old man met Old Man Xiao under the osmanthus tree.
"Come, sit!"
Old Man Xiao sat on a rocking chair. The spring sunshine was very warm, and the warm wind blew on his face. It was an indescribable gentleness.
Listening to the opera and drinking tea, his children and grandchildren filled the hall. Although he had never had the glory of a Dragon King in his life, he was happier than him.
"You old dog, you live a carefree life."
"Hmph, you old bug, a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth. If it wasn't for the fact that you taught my grandson so well, I would have chased you out a long time ago."
Old Man Xiao snorted and said, "You're already so old, yet you still took him in as your foster son. Shameless!"
As he spoke, he chuckled. "If we were to compare seniority, you still have to call me 'old uncle'."
"Pah! Old dog Xiao, it's been decades, but you still haven't made any progress at all. Look at your heart. It's not much older than sesame beans."
"Speak. Why are you looking for me today?!"
Old man Xiao poured him a cup of water.
"What else can I do? Of course, I want to see if you, this old dog, are dead."
Dragon King took a sip of tea, "You, this old dog, really enjoy life. I'm not as good as you in this aspect."
"Go away, go away. Don't fucking mock me here. If it wasn't for the fact that I got married too early, do you think you have a part in the Northgard?"
Speaking of this matter, Old Man Xiao's stomach was full of anger. Back then, he, Dragon King, and Old East Sea King were in the Iron Triangle.
Back then, the three of them were fighting for the position of Northgard's commander. In the end, he was defeated by the Dragon King at a slight disadvantage.
And this disadvantage was that he was married!
Having a family was unavoidable, and in the end, it was seized by this old bug.
Even though the two of them were not forgiving on the surface, the true friendship between them was deeper than anyone else's.
Otherwise, with just a word from Old Man Xiao, the Dragon King wouldn't have come out of Northgard to take Xiao Tian away.
Did he really think that the Dragon King had nothing better to do?
"Bullshit, you obviously can't beat me, yet you are still talking nonsense here."
The Dragon King also had a violent temper. Ever since this old dog beat him into the door, he didn't say a single good word. The Bodhisattva still had some anger, let alone a human.
"Old dog, if you're not convinced, let's practice. See if I'll beat you until you shit."
"Old bug, come on, come on. Do you think I am afraid of you?!"
Old Man Xiao stood up. "Come, come, come. Let's do it in this courtyard. Whoever loses will be the second grandson!"
The two old men in their 70s stood in the courtyard like seven or eight years old children fighting.
The guards at the side wanted to persuade him but did not dare to. Helpless, they could only call Xiao Kedi.
Xiao Kedi rushed over. When he saw the two old men fighting like ruffians, he broke out in cold sweat.
"Father, Uncle Dragon King, take it easy. If anything happens, I won't be able to bear it."
"Brat Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's a battle between your father and me. This old dog, I must subdue him."
Dragon King said as he locked Old Man Xiao's throat.
Old Man Xiao was clearly no match for him, but he still stubbornly said, "Get lost. If I don't beat this old bug until he shits, I'll write the word Xiao upside down."
"Aiya, father... Uncle Dragon King, you... You guys are..."
Xiao Kedi was helpless. He could not pull him away, and he kept persuading them. They were simply two old children!
In the end, he just stood by the side and watched. He did not care, nor did he care. As long as they were not injured, he would let them do whatever they wanted.
He finally understood that these two old men wanted to fight to the death. This was clearly their friendship.
After a long time, the two old men let go of each other and laid on the ground, gasping for air. "Old dog, I thought that after living a comfortable life for so many years, I would have forgotten how to fight. I didn't expect it to be so good. My strength is only two or three levels lower than mine. "
"F * ck you, I still have to swing my saber every day. Not only did my martial strength not regress, it even surpassed the past. Hitting you is still not something that can be done with three punches and two kicks."
Old Man Xiao understood in his heart that he was not a match for the Dragon King at all.
The Dragon King practiced hard every day in Northgard. He was an unaffiliated person who could be compared with the Dragon King when it came to killing enemies.
It was just that he refused to admit defeat verbally, that was all.
"If you are not convinced, let's do it again!"
The Dragon King snorted.
"Forget it, forget it. If you are not coming then what is the point of fighting with a defeated opponent!"
Old Man Xiao waved his hand and looked at Dragon King with disdain. "This time, I'll let you off. I'll deal with you next time."
Dragon King also laughed. Xiao Kedi quickly helped the two old men up. These two were senior elders of the national treasure level. Nothing could happen to them.
"What the f * ck are you still standing there for? Go and call the military doctor!" Xiao Kedi directly kicked the back of the guard, and the guard flew out with a swoosh.
"Old bug, thank you. I owe you a big favor!"
Dragon King laughs, "You know that you owe me a favor and still dare to be so arrogant. You f * cking think that you are a devil incarnate!"
"Didn't I not beat you up for too long already? Is my hand itching for a moment?"
