General Nanzhu jumped off his horse heroically, hurriedly walked to Taihao's side, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen Lord Taihao, my lord, are you okay?" ”

Tai Hao politely replied: "Thank you General Nanzhu for your timely rescue, I'm fine, it's just that these brothers of mine have casualties." General Nanzhu, how did you find out that I was here? ”

General Nanzhu first commanded the wolf soldiers to join the ranks of rescuing the injured brothers, and then explained to Tai Hao: "I heard that Neng Jin joined the army, and Lord Tai Hao went to Yandang Mountain to find the hiding place of the Japanese warriors, and he has not returned to the city for two nights. He went to the camp to look for me, and I guessed that Lord Taihao might be in trouble, so I immediately led four hundred wolf soldiers to set off in the early morning and came to Yandang Mountain to find Lord Taihao. However, we did not find any trace of Lord Taihao on the mountain, so we went to the temple on the mountain to inquire about the news from Master Jianxing, and learned that Lord Taihao might have come to Wutan Village, so we immediately rushed here. ”

After hearing this, Taihao couldn't help but admire General Nanzhu's bravery and determination. He nodded lightly and said, "General Nanzhu came just in time. Then, he introduced to General Nanzhu, "This is Voy, my senior brother. ”

Tai Hao continued to introduce the members of the "Twenty Brothers of Mangdang Mountain" to General Nanzhu one by one. At this time, He Liang reported to Tai Hao and Fu Yi: "Big brother, Lord Tai Hao, the casualties have been counted, a total of twenty junior brothers have died, and thirty-two have been injured. ”

Tai Hao instructed: "Hurry up and bandage the injured brothers, and those sacrificed brothers will be buried under this Yandang Mountain." ”

Tai Hao commanded: "Bandage the wounds of the wounded brothers as soon as possible, and those who died ...... Bury them on the spot and let them rest under this Yandang Mountain. ”

At this time, on the bloody battlefield, a monk was merciful and shuttled between the corpses. That's right, he is the master of the temple on Yandang Mountain. Master Jianxing's robes dance in the wind, and the intricate patterns on them seem to be ancient scriptures, whispering peace and tranquility. His face was tanned by the sun of time, but the serene light in his eyes was like a star in the night sky, full of deep compassion.

In his hand is a string of sandalwood prayer beads, each carefully selected, smooth and warm. He knelt down before every righteous man who had fallen in battle, and while reciting the scriptures in his mouth, his voice was low but full of power, like a raindrop of mercy seeping into the parched earth.

He also gently placed a small red paper bag beside the eyes of each righteous man, which was his little blessing, containing a mysterious charm and a petal of heart incense. In his heart, every life is sacred, and every sacrifice is worthy of respect. In this way, he silently prayed for their blessings, hoping that they would find peace and happiness in the other world.

The sun shone behind him, setting him in a golden glow. His shadow stretched long across the earth, as if to convey a silent reverence and respect to these righteous men who had fallen in battle. In his eyes, this land is no longer bloody and devastation, but a peaceful Buddha country, full of endless compassion and love.

Every chanting and prayer of Master Jianxing is like a wordless poem, flowing on the earth, washing away the inescapable blood and pain, and bringing a trace of comfort and blessing to those sacrificed souls.

With the departure of Master Jianxing, Taihao stared at his back, and an endless emotion surged in his heart. He was convinced that with the prayers of the Master Jianxing, these brothers would be free from all suffering in the afterlife.

As soon as the villagers of Wutan Village heard the news that the Japanese were attacking the village again and fighting with the righteous soldiers led by Lord Taihao, they immediately put down their work and hurried over. Their faces were full of worry and anxiety, but more determined and determined. They knew that these righteous men had died to protect their homeland and to resist the invasion of the Japanese invaders. Their death is not only a loss for Wutan Village, but also a pain for the whole country.

The villagers quickly organized themselves and began to deal with the wounded. They bandaged their wounds with their own garments and fed the weak righteous with the food they had brought. Their eyes were full of determination and determination, and they knew that they could not let the sacrifice of these righteous men go to waste.

For those righteous people who sacrificed, the villagers bowed down deeply and expressed their highest respect and gratitude to them. They swore that no matter when and where, as long as the people of Wutan Village were still there, they would provide incense for these righteous people for generations to come forever. In the future, they will come here every year during the Qingming Festival to sweep their tombs and worship them, so that their souls can be at peace. This commitment is not only the respect and remembrance of those righteous people who sacrificed, but also their firm belief that they can live happily.

After taking care of everything, they regrouped and prepared to return to Wenchuan City. On the way back, General Nanzhu revealed to Tai Hao: "Reinforcements from Jintang City have arrived yesterday, and reinforcements from several other cities are also on their way. Once these reinforcements arrive, they will train with the Wolves in preparation for the upcoming large-scale war against the Wolves. ”

Hearing the news, a smile of relief appeared on Taihao's face. He knew that with the addition of these reinforcements, their odds of victory had increased by a few points. He expressed his deep gratitude to General Nanzhu, and then asked him to continue to lead the wolf soldiers in training and preparing for the next big battle.

After returning to Wenchuan City, General Nanzhu went directly to the Wenchuan City camp. And Tai Hao first arranged a residence for the "Twenty Brothers of Mangdang Mountain" and their younger brothers, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion. When the housekeeper saw Taihao returning, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. "My lord! You're finally back! I thought something had happened to you. ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly and responded: "I won't have an accident, has something happened in the mansion in the past two days?" ”

The housekeeper looked anxious and said, "I was about to report to my lordship, but Miss Ruoshui hasn't been back for two days, I don't know where she went?" ”

Taihao heard the news that Ruoshui had not returned, and his face changed slightly. Ruoshui has never had such an abnormal situation since he followed Taihao to Wenchuan City, and he even had to tell himself when he went shopping, but now he has been missing for two days, is it an accident? Thinking of this, Taihao couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Taihao was about to ask the housekeeper if there was anything unusual before Ruoshui's disappearance, when a housekeeper ran from outside the door, holding a piece of bamboo paper in his hand, and he reported to Taihao: "A child just ran outside the door, let me give this piece of paper to Lord Taihao." ”

Tai Hao took the piece of bamboo paper, unfolded it and read softly: "If the water is in my hand, if you want to save her, please bring the samurai Fujiwara Zhongichi to Beiji Island tonight to exchange." ”

Hearing the contents of the letter, the housekeeper hurriedly asked the housekeeper, "Where is the child who delivered the letter?" ”

Jia Ding said: "He has already left......

The housekeeper was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Taihao. Taihao said helplessly: "That kid will definitely not know anything, if I guess correctly, this letter was written by Meisha." Unexpectedly, in order to rescue Fujiwara Zhongichi, she actually kidnapped Wakasui. ”

The housekeeper took the letter from Tai Hao's hand, read it silently again, and said, "My lord, are you still going to save Miss Ruoshui?" ”

"Of course I have to save it." Taihao replied, "Since you brought her to Wenchuan City, you must protect her safety." ”

The housekeeper nodded and said, "The agreed location of this widow is Beiji Island, which is my home, and I am more familiar with it, so I can go with the adults." ”

Hearing the butler say this, Taihao suddenly remembered that he had been in Wenchuan City for a while, but he had never really understood this butler. He had only habitually called him "Butler", but he didn't know his real name, family background, and how he became the steward of the City Lord's Mansion. So Taihao asked a few more questions along the topic of the housekeeper.

The housekeeper's name is Jia Qi, and he is Chinese New Year's Eve five today. Five years ago, he came to Wenchuan City from his hometown of Beiji Island to make a living. Later, he was favored by the previous city lord and became a family servant. Two years later, he was promoted to steward of the City Lord's Mansion.

Since the housekeeper took the initiative to ask to go with Tai Hao, Tai Hao did not refuse, nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then it is up to you, we will leave tonight." ”

The butler continued: "To go to Beiji Island, you need to prepare a boat, I will set off immediately, and after preparing everything, I will wait for Lord Taihao to arrive on the beach. ”

Tai Hao asked, "Isn't it very unsuitable to fight the Japanese Invaders?" ”

The housekeeper pondered: "Unless the water is very good, it is difficult to fight against the Japanese on the island, after all, there are still some fishermen living on Beiji Island, and if you are not careful, you will hurt the innocent!" ”

Tai Hao nodded and said, "I understand, the housekeeper will prepare a few more boats, and I will go to Wenchuan City Prison first." ”

The housekeeper acted immediately, and Taihao did not go directly to the prison, but went to General Nanzhu and explained the situation to him. After listening, General Nanzhu did not hesitate to express his willingness to lead the wolf soldiers to Beiji Island to rescue the Ruoshui girl. However, Taihao rejected his offer. He analyzed: "Since the Japanese would think of kidnapping Wakasui in exchange for Fujiwara Zhongichi, it means that this matter was not done by the leader of the Japanese invaders, but Meisa's own opinion. She guessed that I would definitely save Miss Ruoshui, so she came up with this plan. I don't think the other side will have too many strong troops, so just let Vice General Shuangyu lead twenty wolf soldiers who are good at water. ”

General Nanzhu agreed with Tai Hao's suggestion and ordered Vice General Shuangyu to lead twenty wolf soldiers to the beach first to stand by. Then, Taihao came to the Wenchuan City Prison, and under the guidance of the warden Honggao, he came to the entrance of the dungeon. However, Taihao discovers that there is not a jailer guarding the dungeon. He asked Honggao: "Why don't there be any jailers here, what if the prisoners escape?" ”

Before Honggao could answer, a sound of footsteps came from a distance, gradually approaching. As the voice gradually became clearer, a firm and confident voice shouted: "Don't worry, he will never be able to run!" ”

Through the dim light in the prison, Taihao finally saw the face of the comer, who was Tie Shen.

Tai Hao asked, "How do you know he can't run?" This robber's martial arts are extremely high, and if he is not careful, he may be able to escape! ”

After Tie Shen walked to Tai Hao's side, he said to Tai Hao with a serious expression: "My lord, this widow died last night!" ”
