Shao's Witch Courtyard is on the west side of Huodu Square, and the military hall of Shao is on the east side of Huodu Square.

This courtyard is also very large, but it was not noisy in the past, and it was only from the beginning of martial law in the fire capital that it became lively.

In the past 30 years, except for the first few years of military reform, he was busy for a while, and the rest of the days were very peaceful.

The peaceful life is polishing the fighting spirit in his heart day by day, and he is no longer the young, hot-blooded, impulsive, and ignorant teenager.

He has been in charge of the military affairs of the Fire Tribe Alliance for more than 30 years, his body is as heavy as a mountain, and there is his own majesty between his eyes.

Today, although he has no military merits to protect himself and no courage to make a name for himself, his contribution to the construction of the Fire Tribe Alliance's armies has also won the support of all the warriors by virtue of his meticulous dedication to the construction of the Fire Tribe Alliance.

In the past few days, he has been handling military affairs as before, but there will always be inexplicable commotion in his heart, which makes him uneasy.

When he calmed down, he looked around and didn't feel any difference in life, and he didn't miss anything after thinking about the military affairs in the last few days.

But at such a critical moment, he was suddenly restless, which still made him quite uneasy.

For this reason, he specially invited General Xingchen to come over to help predict whether there were any hidden dangers, and the answer he got was very vague, only saying that there was nothing bad, but there was indeed one thing, and it was not clear what it was.

If you want a more precise result, you can ask the Star Witch for help, but you refuse.

He had the right to do that, but he didn't want to.

For more than 30 years, he has been blaming himself for the mistakes of going east that year, although he does not regret it, but he feels ashamed of Shao, his trust in Shi, and the Fire Tribe Alliance...... Even, ashamed of it.

If he could go back to the past, he would stop Nothing and not let her leave, but he didn't, and sometimes he would hate himself for not stopping Thing, even though he always knew why he did it.

He knows the pain of losing his parents, if he is a, he will do the same, how can those who have not lost understand the pain of the person who has lost.

These are all old things, far away from him, and he rarely takes the initiative to remember them when he is far away.

He refused the help of the Star Witch because he didn't want to add trouble to the Fire Tribe Alliance at this critical moment, which in his opinion, was a kind of atonement, atonement for the sin that he couldn't take responsibility for back then.

"Knock, knock, knock. ”

There was a knock on the door, and he put down the scroll of animal skin in his hand.

"Come in. ”

The door opened, and it was his chief guard.

Say. ”

Lookout looked at him suspiciously, and the man immediately slammed his right hand on his left chest, making a muffled sound.

"There is a grass tribe in the east city gate that has been registered with the fire capital, and the guarantor he filled in is you. ”

The confusion in his eyes deepened, and he asked himself in a whisper: "Grass tribe? Which grass tribe has no impression at all, do you remember?"

This chief guard has been with him for a long time, and sometimes when he goes down to train or patrol, he does come into contact with some small tribal witches or leaders, but he doesn't remember this.

"Report to the marshal, the subordinates are not impressed. ”

The chief of the guard affirmed.

He nodded, then looked up again and asked, "Just one person?"

"Yes. ”

The chief guard replied.

"Then take him over to have a look, and when you meet, you can always be impressed. ”

"Yes. ”

The chief of the guard retreated after saluting, and arranged for men to escort Mang to the east gate.

The reason why the way of escort is also to be cautious, and now is the period when the god of fire becomes a god, and there is no big mistake in being careful.

This matter was quickly forgotten by him, because news came from the south that the totem stones of the tribes in southern Xinjiang were not far from the fire.

He immediately summoned two generals, Wolf and Chun, to discuss the matter of greeting.

The so-called greeting, in fact, is how to relieve the military power of these soldiers who escorted the totem stone over without incident.

This matter has reached a consensus at the level of totem, but when it is really implemented, they still need to carry it out, so how to lower the vigilance in the hearts of these fellow warriors so that they do not have too much dissatisfaction in their hearts becomes very important.

The three of them deliberated for a while, and finally decided to solve the problem by decreasing the number of towns.

The so-called town-by-town decreasing means that every time you pass through a village or town, leave a southern Xinjiang warrior, and finally let a few totem stones arrive at the fire capital, it is enough to have a few remaining warriors carrying them around.

The three of them felt that there was no problem with this arrangement, and the next step was to plan the path, and the three of them were busy on the map again.

While they were busy, Mang had already been brought into the military hall and arranged to sit quietly in a corner.

Beside him, there are several guards stationed in charge of him.

Because he was busy, naturally no one paid attention to him, a grass tribe witch who came out of nowhere, at this time, so he was forgotten in this corner.

It was only after dark that the door of the inner room was pushed open, and General Wolf and General Chun walked out, and they set out tomorrow morning to meet the team of southern Xinjiang.

With their departure, the civilians in the military hall began to leave, and the entire hall gradually fell silent.

But soon after, another group of generals came in, and they came to discuss the welcome of the northern troops, and they were still busy.

Mang sat there silently, waiting without arrogance or impatience, and the guards around him had already changed, because they had to have dinner.

Someone brought dinner to Mang, a bowl of yellow millet rice covered with some boiled vegetables and sliced meat, and Mang just sat in the corner and ate dinner quietly.

Soon after he had finished eating, the chief of the guard came over.

"The marshal said that you have to wait a while, because it is not easy for these generals to get together, and he will see you after the discussion, and if you are tired, you can go to the marshal's room to rest for a while, this is the marshal's care for you. ”

Although the chief of the guard said that he could let Mang go to the general's room to rest, his eyes revealed the meaning of "you have to respect yourself".

"Got it, I'm not tired. ”

Mang said calmly, he was indeed not tired, and he didn't want to cause trouble for this competent head of the guard.

"If you need anything else, you can tell me. ”

This sentence can be regarded as a reward for Mang's "sensible", and he left after saying that.

Time passed slowly, and I don't know how long it took, but the generals left the room one after another, and the chief of the guard walked in front of Mang.

"The marshal is tired, to make a long story short, don't delay the marshal to rest. ”

The chief guard gave him a word, and then he walked to Mang's room, knocked on the door and went in first, and soon came out again to let Mang in.

Mang walked into Ry's room, and the first thing he saw was Rak who was eating with his head down.

"Sit down, have you eaten?"

He glanced up at him as he spoke, and could clearly see that he was stunned for a moment after seeing Mang.

"Eat. ”

Mang said calmly.

He nodded, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "We've met?"

Mang shook his head and scanned the entire room, it was very simple, and there was no extra decoration.

His eyes fell on the table, and the animal skin rolls were neatly arranged, and in the upper right corner of the table, there was a wooden board on the side, on which was a picture of the animal.

The portrait is very expressive, it is the appearance of standing in the wind and snow, holding two sharp red copper long swords, heroic posture.

"How do I think I've seen you?"

He looked at Mang suspiciously, his brows furrowed, and he was not angry.

"Because I look like her. ”

Mang pointed to the scroll of the simmer and said.

He was stunned for a moment, glanced at the picture scroll, and then looked at Mang, it was indeed very similar, but then anger flashed in his eyes.

"Who are you?"

He asked loudly.

The door was pushed open, and the head of the guard glanced at the scene in confusion, and then waved his hand and stepped out.

"My name is Mang, and I am her son. ”

Mang's words made him stunned, his gaze wandered back and forth between the scroll and Mang's face several times, and many complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

Twenty-five years ago, he was looking forward to the return of the sheath, twenty years ago, he thought that he would be able to return after a few more years, fifteen years ago, he felt that there was still hope, ten years ago, he began to hesitate, five years ago, he felt that the sheath would not come back, and asked the tapir witch to help him draw this picture.

Now, he doesn't dare to make any illusions, and he can look at the simmer in the picture scroll every day, and he is satisfied.

But he never thought that today, when he didn't do any thoughts, he would actually be able to see his son.

The eyebrows, the eyes, the outline, and the calmness are indeed very similar to the scarlet.

She ...... Aren't you coming back?"

The voice of the man said bitterly, and the momentum and majesty of the body were much weaker.

He really didn't expect that Boiling would actually form a family over there, and looking at the appearance of this child, this was more than ten years ago.

At that time, I was still thinking that she would return.

Bitterness hurts the most, the scars are not on the face, not on the body, but only in the heart.

"Mother can't come back for some reason. ”

Mang looked at his father, watching his expression change countless times in an instant, and his heart was quite calm.

"My brother didn't come either, he was so busy fighting with the beasts in the east that he didn't bother to come back. ”

He only felt a sharp pain in his heart, not only did he become a family over there, not only did he have a child over there, but he also had more than one child.

"Stein ...... Who are you married to?"

After a long time, he covered his heart and asked, "Is that person worthy of your mother?"

Mang was stunned for a moment, this question is not easy for him to answer.

Grandpa Wing said that he was not worthy, but the old immortal grandfather said that he was worthy, and the two even quarreled because of it, but in the end Grandpa Wing won.

Grandpa Wing won not because Grandpa Wing was persuaded by him, but because Grandpa Tsubashi was really dead, so no one objected to Grandpa Wing's remarks anymore.

Whenever someone said this in front of her mother, she laughed and said nothing.

"Grandpa Yi said that he was not worthy, and the three generations of Baicao Wu Grandpa said that he was worthy, and when others said it, my mother laughed, so I don't know if it is worthy or not. ”

Said truthfully.

"What do you think?"

He asked, looking at Mang and glaring at him.

"Me?"

Mang was really stunned this time, he hesitated for a moment and said: "I can't say this, the son doesn't say anything about the father." ”
