Huaxia, the northern border.

Where there should have been an army patrolling, all that was left was a rudimentary wooden house, which still looked like it had been made of local materials and piles of tattered timber picked up nearby.

It's hard to imagine that such a house could withstand a gust of wind blowing, or that it might collapse with a single punch.

But these issues do not need to be considered at all by the man in this high-risk house.

The facilities in the wooden house are extremely simple, a wooden table, a chair, a teapot, and a cup.

and silently bowing his head and drinking cheap tea, one person, one knife.

"Dut...... Duh..."

The man's phone was only left with a busy signal that was hung up, but he didn't put it down, still maintaining the posture of putting the phone to his ear.

Long.

"Whew~"

The man slowly exhaled a breath of hot air, casually put the phone back into the inner lining of his clothes, and his silent and stern face slowly lifted, revealing a small scar at the corner of his eye.

"Boom!"

The ceiling of the humble wooden house suddenly exploded, and then the entire room collapsed in an instant, accompanied by several sounds of breaking the air, and several voices of incomparably resentful hatred.

"You alone dare to ......"

"The time of death has come, you ...... king"

"Do you remember ......?"

"Noise."

The man put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head slightly, looked indifferent, and whispered.

There was silence, and all voices came to an abrupt end.

The original humble wooden house was gone, and in the midst of this hustle and bustle, there was only one person, a table, a pot, a cup, and a knife, as if it had been like this from the beginning.

The man listened quietly for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to slowly finish his cup of steaming tea.

It was obviously a temperature of more than ten degrees below zero, but the man didn't realize it, just lowered his head and slowly continued to drink cheap tea.

Cup after cup.

The pot of tea was quickly finished, and the man looked up, glanced around the front with an indifferent expression, then stood up and slowly picked up the knife in his hand, which seemed to have never been unsheathed.

"In the territory of China ahead, you are not allowed to enter without permission."

"Trespassers, be punished."

The man whispered, then turned to leave.

After it turned, it was as if the wind had just passed over again, slightly blowing through the residual heat on the teacup.

The man's footsteps paused, as if he remembered something, and he stopped and turned back, and the wind was silent.

The man returned to the table, folded the table, and put away the teapot and teacup that looked very cheap, carried it in his hand, put the knife in his back and turned and strode away.

The sound of the wind gradually rose, and gradually the hustle and bustle.

—————

In Kyoto, at the end of a somewhat remote alley, there is an ordinary-looking courtyard house.

But only after walking in, will you find that there is a cave.

There is a tall and lush plane tree in the courtyard, which is obviously not suitable for the season, but it grows extremely tall and makes people feel a sense of heaviness that has gone through vicissitudes at a glance.

Under the tree was a table of eight immortals, which seemed to be made of some kind of jade, and at this time an old man and a young man were sitting opposite each other, seemingly chatting.

"It looks like it's almost over."

The young man said casually, his hair seemed to be tied up by an ancient hairpin, and the head shape was a little weird, like a Han-style men's crown ceremony, which was a few points higher than it, and the details were different, adding a different kind of beauty and nobility.

And this nobility is also manifested in the young man's dress, a black robe covering the body, except for the cuffs, collar, some gold threads weave a few patterns, the rest are solemn black, looking extremely noble.

Or rather, it was the young man himself who exuded a noble majesty from head to toe, and even made people can't help but surrender.

"That's exactly what you're talking about."

The old man bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Don't be so restrained, today is a day to be happy, look, I've been paying attention to maintenance lately, how about it, Xiao Li, I can't see that it's a forty-year-old person, right?"

The old man named Xiao Li smiled bitterly, then stood up and saluted solemnly,

"You are a good person, you look like you are in your twenties, you are in your prime, peerless."

The old man was full of praise.

"I've been patted on the back, Xiao Li, pay attention next time."

The young man looked down at his clothes, his eyes flashed with satisfaction, and said casually.

"That's what you said."

"Why Xiao Li, you are crepe, I am an old antique, and now I entertain my body and mind every day, watching videos, chasing dramas, jumping, karaoke and dancing are not lacking, why are you so rotten, can you be younger and have a positive attitude towards life, understand?"

The old man smiled bitterly, he really didn't know how to reply, but he continued to bow respectfully, looking at the tall and lush plane tree in the courtyard, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

"I am in the twilight of my life, the times are moving too fast, and people like me, who can't keep up with the ship, are doomed to be abandoned. Only people like you can establish a great hegemony. ”

"Great merit?"

The young man whispered, then shook his head and let out a long sigh.

"Wrong is wrong, what's the reason."

"You don't have to ......"

"Xiao Li, how long have we known each other?"

"It's been more than sixty years since you woke up, right?"

The old man's eyes were full of nostalgia, and he said respectfully.

"It's been more than sixty years, and so long has passed, and now, Xiao Li, you are going to leave me, just like them."

The young man straightened his robe, looked at the plane tree in the courtyard, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and chuckled softly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were moist, and he leaned over and fell to his knees tremblingly, his voice full of trembling,

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I will never forget your kindness in the rest of my life, but please forgive me......"

"Xiao Li, what are you doing here, don't you want me to lose my life?"

The young man laughed and joked, and reached out to pull the old man up,

"This is your Xiao Li's own choice, it's too late for me to be happy for you, how can I blame you, we have been friends for so many years!"

The old man lowered his head, his wrinkled and calloused hands clenched a palm like a teenager, and he couldn't cry.

"I... I'm so selfish, I said yes... Okay, I'm going to follow... Follow you and see... See ......"

"No need, Xiao Li, haven't you seen it yet, it's a pity, your road in the future is not easy, the next time we meet, maybe you won't be you, it's a pity."

"Nope! How could I possibly forget you, even if it ......"

"Don't cry, Xiao Li, you're such a big person, you look almost seventy, why are you still like a child, you have to stick to it if you decide, the most important thing is not to leave regrets, don't just do it like I did back then, you can take this too."

The young man said with a smile, and casually took out a jade seal and stuffed it to the old man.

"It's... I can't accept this, how can I use your ......?"

"Tell you to take it, what so much nonsense, I made a mistake once before, thinking that this thing is some kind of treasure, in fact, it is not as good as a cup of instant noodles."

The young man laughed at himself, and then he couldn't help but stuff the jade seal to the old man, and looked back at the plane tree in the courtyard, his eyes full of nostalgia and regret.

"What a great day today! Yo hoo, it's decided, eat braised beef instant noodles tonight, add wide potato chips, and watch a comedy movie by the way. Yes! Life is so beautiful!! ”

The old man's eyes were red, and he looked at the figure of the young man standing under the plane tree in front of him, leaned down and knelt down, knocked his head a few times, and then got up and bowed solemnly, and turned to leave.

"It's this familiar feeling again, I'm a little used to it, but this time I seem to have done it right......"

Under the plane tree, the young man did not look back, but looked up at the luxuriant canopy, laughed softly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes were full of nostalgia.

"There are old people who go, and there seem to be old people who come."

Under the tree, the young figure seems to blend into this courtyard, like a beautiful picture scroll from ancient times to the present, as if it has always been like this.

—————

Uncharted.

"Ahh

In Xiang's house, Xiang Yu sneezed unconsciously, and then with a serious face, he continued to lower his head and fiddle with a large iron pot, next to which were firewood piled up into a hill, as well as all kinds of vegetables, mushrooms, etc.

"I don't know what happened to the eldest brother, the second brother, what happened to them, Afang Palace is so obvious, it shouldn't be the wrong way. And I feel that the second brother seems to be quite strong, more powerful than me and me, and there is definitely no danger. ”

Smack!

Xiang Yu Dahan was muttering to himself while casually adding firewood under the iron pot.

"Should I say it or not, the eldest brother's craftsmanship is really good, in addition to hot pot, there are so many delicacies, I heard the second brother say that the eldest brother is best at noodles, but can noodles be delicious with meat?"

Xiang Yu thought expectantly, he was completely captured by the food, but he had completely accepted his identity as the third brother, and was comfortable with it.

It's hard to imagine that he was once famous and admired and worshiped by countless people as the overlord of Western Chu, and now he has probably completely become a foodie.

It may be that Old Man Zhao's cooking recipes are too magical, or it may be that the brainwashing and preaching of a certain monkey hair is too successful.

In short, at this time, Xiang Yu Dahan was looking serious, burning the pot to watch the fire, washing the ingredients, just waiting for his eldest brother and second brother to come back, and then continue to eat a fragrant hot pot.

"Bang!"

"Hey, big brother, second brother! You're back! ”

Xiang Yu was full of smiles, hurriedly stood up, and went out to greet him.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xiang Yu."

Lao Sun changed his previous excitement, his eyes were sad, and he said with some difficulty.

"What's wrong?"

Xiang Yu looked puzzled.

I pulled the horse and followed behind Lao Sun, but the beautiful woman who was originally on the horse quietly disappeared.

"I'm sorry, Xiang Yu, I couldn't bring Yu Ji back, she, she's already ......"

My face was heavy and my heart was full of sadness.
