Mandu suddenly raised his head and looked into the depths of the wind and sand.

He stood up and walked forward for two steps. Princess Baoyin asked in confusion: "Uncle Mandu, what are you going to do?"

Mandu looked back at her and said, "You guys will rest here and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he got up and walked into the wind and sand.

This gust of wind and sand was not violent, it was just a small gust of wind that could faintly see the surrounding terrain. The whole person reached out to block his eyebrows and walked forward step by step. After a while, he stopped.

Not far ahead of him, a figure appeared.

This man is very tall, tall and thin, but he just stands in the wind and sand, giving people an extraordinarily ethereal feeling, as if he is standing there, but he does not exist, and it seems that he will be taken away by the wind and sand at any time.

But as soon as he saw this figure, Mandu's brows immediately frowned.

His face was solemn, even more solemn than when he faced the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom just now. When he spoke, his voice was a little hoarse: "You are—"

"Long time no see."

The other party spoke, which was a somewhat old and particularly calm voice.

Mandu was stunned.

He stood stiffly, looking at the other person with wide eyes. At this time, the wind and sand gradually slowed down, and he could barely see the person opposite.

It was an old man with white hair, but his figure was like a green pine that suddenly grew on the northwest wasteland, and it still had a bit of a young man's straightness. Although his face was full of wrinkles, his deep eyes were bright and bright, and even in the wind and sand, he did not hide his gaze at all. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were clever and his spirits were energetic. It was obvious that he must have been a handsome handsome man when he was young.

Moreover, although he was dressed simply, even patched on his knees and elbows, the ragged clothes seemed inexplicably clean and neat when worn, probably because of his extraordinary temperament. Even when he stood in the wind and sand, even the wind and sand were not so annoying.

Mandu looked at him blankly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

After a long time, he squeezed out a hoarse sentence: "You are still alive."

The other party seemed to smile.

He looked up at the sun, which was covered by the wind and sand, and only had a chaotic light and shadow, and then said, "At this time? Ghosts will not appear in front of you."

Mandu nodded: "It's good to be there."

“…”

"I'm just afraid, I'm really gone? I'm the only one left."

The other party smiled and said, "We will leave after all."

Mandu narrowed his eyes: "You have taken life and death so indifferently?"

The other party's eyes were a little dazed? It seemed as if he had remembered something, and the gentle expression on his face also showed a three-point sadness. After a while, he said, "At this age? Has experienced the life and death of so many people? Don't take it lightly? What can I do?"

Mandu's eyes were sharper.

He subconsciously stepped forward a few steps, as if he wanted to approach the other party, but although he stepped forward a few steps and although the other party was still standing there motionless? But he seemed to be still so long away from the other party? There was no way to get close.

He could only stop? But his breath was obviously a little disordered.

Asked, "You said this? Whose life and death have you seen?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he asked anxiously: "Is it Tana?"

The other party looked at him for a while? A little bit of pity was added to his sad expression, and finally he nodded gently: "Yes."

Mandu's breathing was suffocated.

Of course? So many years have passed? The tomb they set up in the Great Wall moat also shows that they had accepted this fact long ago, but when they heard this result, Mandu's heart still felt like he was stabbed by a thorn.

A pain that has not gone through for many years suddenly disappeared after another surprise attack on him.

He was silent for a long time, as if he had finally accepted this fact, nodded gently, and then looked up at the other party: "Where is she buried?"

“…”

"You just erected a monument for her, where did she be buried."

The other party looked at him quietly for a long time and said, "Who told you that it is just a monument?"

“…!?”

Mandu was shocked and looked at him with a little shocked look: "You, what your daughter said."

The other party smiled faintly and said, "If someone knows that the real her is buried under the monument, then even if she dies, she will not be at peace."

Mandu paused for a moment and finally understood.

Their people built a tomb for Princess Tana to have a place to pay tribute to her; while the other party had buried Princess Tana, they hid the tomb, leaving only the illusion of erecting a monument to prevent people from celebrating her.

The other party whispered: "She is already very tired."

“…”

"After death, let her be quiet."

Mandu looked at the other person and couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy for a moment, but in the end, some things were like the old pain, and what should be gone eventually.

He nodded softly and said, "You are right."

After saying this, many of the emotions that had been accumulated for many years were relieved at this moment, and Mandu became calmer. He suddenly looked up at the other party and said with confusion: "But, you suddenly appeared to tell me this?"

The other party also smiled and said, "I'm just selling my favor."

"What?"

"I hope that the two people you just caught were released for the sake of my old friend. There is one person who has suffered a lot over the years."

“…”

"I could have rescued both of them, but - I haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't want to attack my old friend's people."

His words were inexplicably spoken, and Mandu was full of doubts when he heard them.

However, he knew that whenever their team went, even if they only stopped for a short time, they would definitely send people to patrol the surroundings. Especially after just experiencing a small war, they had to be more careful.

Could it be that who has just gone out to patrol caught?

He was about to ask, but when he looked up, the person ahead had disappeared.

Mandu frowned and thought for a while, but turned around and went back immediately.

This place was not far from the camp where they rested, and soon I heard a noisy sound coming from there. Mandu walked over and saw that a group of people who had just gone out to patrol had returned.

And they indeed caught two people.

One of the teenagers was struggling hard, while the other, older, looked like the young elder, was confused, as if he had just been struck by lightning, and he didn't struggle at all. Instead, he seemed to be trapped in deep thoughts and didn't care about what was happening around him.
