At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the straight figure at the gate of the compound, and many people's eyes showed a hint of surprise, obviously they didn't expect that the Lan family would invite that madman over.

What's the point?

Su Tulong looked at the figure that appeared at the gate of the compound with a faint gaze, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Click......"

Beside Su Tulong, Su Yuefeng, who was originally holding a teacup and elegantly tasting this fine phoenix tail tea, was holding the teacup with a slight force, and a crack spread on the teacup.

A terrifying killing intent spread out of her body like a flood, making the people around her feel as if they were inexplicably wrapped in ice.

"Don't worry!"

Su Yuefeng put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, and was about to take steps towards the figure at the gate, but was stopped by Su Tulong: "This is the home of the Lan family." ”

Su Yuefeng didn't speak...... He returned to his seat and sat down, but his eyes were full of unprecedented murderous intent when he looked at Lan Feng.

Saber held the red wine glass with a slight pause, looking at the figure that appeared at the door, an inexplicable cold light flashed in his eyes, and a powerful killing intent spread out from his body, but it was quickly restrained by him.

Song Wenjie was talking and laughing with a few sons, but when he saw the figure emerging at the door, the smile on his face disappeared, he turned his head to look at Ye Ziru who was smiling beside him, and there was a trace of nervousness in his heart.

He walked up to Ye Ziru's side, leaned his mouth against her ear, and a cold voice came out of Song Wenjie's mouth: "If you don't want any accidents to happen to your father, you can behave well for me." ”

"Humph!"

Ye Ziru let out a cold snort from her mouth, walked to the side with a wine glass, and did not speak.

A playful smile appeared on Qin Hunt's fair face, and a faint voice came out of his mouth: "Tonight's main master can be regarded as having one." ”

Looking at the figure that appeared at the gate, everyone present had thoughts surging in their hearts.

"Lan Feng, are you here? The old man has been waiting for you inside for a long time. ”

Lan Yuxin didn't hide anything, but greeted her with a smile.

And the words that came out of her mouth made many people present slightly stunned, obviously not expecting that Lan Feng would be personally summoned by the old man of the Lan family.

"Sorry, I'm a little late. ”

Lan Feng ignored the gazes of everyone present and said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's good that you're here. Let's go, I'll take you to see the old man. ”

Lan Yuxin said with a smile, it could be seen that Lan Feng's arrival made her whole person look very happy.

"Okay. ”

Lan Feng nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Lan Feng was led by Lan Yuxin towards the depths of the Lan family's inner courtyard amid the envious gaze of everyone at the scene.

At this time, the music in the courtyard also sounded slowly at this moment, silently relieving the atmosphere of the scene.

Deep in the Lan family's compound.

In the quiet and comfortable courtyard, an old man with gray hair, a pair of thick reading glasses, and a patched dress from the Republic of China period was lying on a lounger, holding a thick and extremely worn black and white newspaper in his hand, carefully and carefully flipping through it.

His wrinkled old face sometimes showed a look of anger, and sometimes a smile of relief from the heart, which was a newspaper from the Republic of China period that he treasured, and he was reminiscing about the past.

When Lan Yuxin walked into the courtyard with Lan Feng, the old man was still reading the newspaper seriously.

Looking at the old man wearing patched clothes, wearing thick reading glasses, sitting on a chair and holding a newspaper from the Republic of China period in his hand, Lan Feng's face showed a strong look of awe.

This is a respectable old man, a veteran who has traveled through countless jungle battles, guns and rainforests, and a general who has made great contributions and created countless legendary battles.

He dedicated his whole life to this country, to the people, whether it was his youth or his twilight years, he spent it in the flames of war, and even now he still remembers the past.

For this old man, Lan Feng respects him from the bottom of his heart.

Like him, he has a similar past.

Like him, he has carried a gun and served as a soldier.

Like him, he used his life to shuttle through the flames of war and defend this land.

He was a soldier, a veteran who had done countless miracles.

Looking at the patched clothes he was wearing, looking at the black-and-white newspaper in his hand that had been read an unknown number of times and had become stale with the passage of time, and looking at his wrinkled and calloused hands, Lan Feng slowly raised his right hand and gave him a standard military salute.

At this moment, the old man who was originally flipping through the newspaper seemed to be aware of it, stopped his move, raised his head and looked in the direction where Lan Feng was, and happened to see Lan Feng's standard salute.

The next moment, the old man put down the black and white newspaper in his hand, stood up awkwardly, and also saluted Lan Feng with a military salute.

At the moment of salutation, the old man's rickety appearance disappeared, replaced by a solemn and fierce, a breath of time that seemed to come with time, that was his past.

"I'm sorry!"

In Lan Yuxin's extremely shocked and stunned gaze on the side, the old man actually bent down at Lan Feng, and a voice with incomparably apologetic and hoarse voice came out of his mouth.

Lan Yuxin was moved.

Lan Feng was moved.

If this scene spread, it would be enough to move everyone in the circle of the capital, because the identity of the old man in front of him was too terrifying.

"Grandpa......"

Seeing this, Lan Yuxin hurriedly came back to her senses, walked to the old man and helped him up.

"Xin'er, you go outside and wait first. ”

But the old man chose to refuse, he pushed Lan Yuxin away, and a coercive voice came out of his mouth.

"Hmm!"

Lan Yuxin knew the old man's temperament, took a deep look at Lan Feng, and withdrew from the small courtyard.

Looking at the old man's sincere bow, Lan Feng's eyes showed a thick and complicated color, he thought of Gangzi, thought of Chu Nan, and thought of his group of brothers who had died unjustly.

Although neither the Lan family nor the old man in front of him participated in the five-year affair and maintained absolute neutrality, they ...... If this old man had been able to stand up and say even a word, maybe it would have been possible to change the situation at that time.

But...... He chose to remain silent at that time.

Perhaps, he was not wrong in his position at the time...... But...... Now the old man felt that he was wrong from the bottom of his heart, so he said sorry to Lan Feng.

He is sorry for the group of young people who shed blood and tears for the country.

He should have done what he could to protect them, but ...... He didn't do anything.

He watched as his soldiers were drowned in the flames of war.

He was not a qualified general.

This sentence of sorry was he said to Lan Feng and to his group of brothers who died unjustly.

Looking at the old man who bowed deeply, looking at the marks left on his face by the mottled years, and looking at the conspicuous scar on the back of his head, Lan Feng sighed softly, walked to the old man's side, and helped his body up.

He wanted to say that it didn't matter, but ...... He couldn't tell.

Because...... Those who died were the most important brothers in his life.

They cried together, laughed together, ate beef compressed into stone together, carried the heavy weapons together, shuttled through the bullet jungle together, and yearned for the world together.

The old man raised his head, looked at Lan Feng's face that was still young but full of the vicissitudes of time, clenched his palm, and was silent for a long time.

"All these years...... You suffered. ”

After a long time, a hoarse voice with an extremely apologetic voice came out of the old man's mouth.

"Although I ate a lot, I also gained a lot. ”

Lan Feng raised his head and said with an indifferent expression.

"Sit down. ”

The old man pointed to a single stool placed on the side and said softly.

Lan Feng nodded lightly, walked to the side and sat down in front of the single stool.

The old man lay back in his chair.

The old and the young all looked up at the shining stars in the sky, and no one spoke again.

Time passed slowly in a long silence.

I don't know how long it took for a hoarse voice to come out of the old man's mouth: "Come back, they are all waiting." ”

"I'm back. ”

Lan Feng replied lightly.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about. The old man's face showed a thick and complicated color: "You should know that in recent years, the conflict on the border line has become more and more intense. ”

After a pause, the old man continued: "Not only on the border line, but also in the international conflict...... And the difficulty of the tasks to be performed by the special forces is also constantly increasing, and over the years...... There are too many soldiers who have died for their country to continue like this. ”

"So...... Please come back, Dragonthorn. ”

The old man's tone was full of sincerity.

However, Lan Feng was still unmoved, and an indifferent voice came out of his mouth: "Did they invite you to be a lobbyist? If that's really the case...... I'm really sorry. ”

"I'm old...... I'm tired of living like that. ”

The words that came out of Lan Feng's mouth at this moment were so helpless and lonely.

Maybe he's still young...... But his heart was already old.

People have seen his beautiful side, but who understands the life he spent behind the scenery.

He...... It's really old.

At least...... The heart is like this.
