That night, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the window lattice of the room, forming a dappled light and shadow. Taihao lay on the bed, his eyes closed, but his thoughts were surging like a tide. He had been thinking about a puzzling question, that is, how the head of Duogui had rushed from Meng Yingshan to Michuan City in just two days.

The distance between Meng Yingshan and Michuan City could not be crossed in such a short time even by riding the fastest thousand-mile horse. Taihao knows this. Therefore, he began to wonder if Tu Poison Mo had learned the news of the head of Duogui's family in Michuan City in advance, so he would choose to bring Baehyun's daughter here.

The thought kept swirling in Tae-ho's mind, keeping him awake from sleeping. He kept recalling the confrontation with Tu Poison Ink, trying to find clues from it. However, every detail in his memory seemed to be irrelevant to this hypothesis, leaving him even more confused.

Early the next morning, the morning glow on the horizon was as brilliant as a fire, kicking off a new day. Lu Jia, the middle-aged man, was already busy in the courtyard, preparing a hearty breakfast. The aroma of rice wafts through the air, making people salivate.

Taihao and Koji Yi got up and washed up and came to the dining table. The table is filled with hot buns, fritters, soy milk and other breakfasts, which are delicious in color and flavor, and make people have a great appetite. Lu Jia warmly beckoned them to sit down, with a simple smile on his face.

"Two knights, please have breakfast." Lu Jia's voice was gentle and kind, like a caring old friend.

Taihao and Koji Yi looked at each other and smiled, expressing their gratitude. They sat down to enjoy this delicious breakfast, and from time to time praised Lu Jia's craftsmanship. Lu Jia waved his hand modestly, indicating that this was just a little bit of his strength, not enough to worry about.

After breakfast, Tai Hao took out some silver taels from his arms and handed them to Lu Jia to express their gratitude. However, Lu Jia resolutely refused. "Knights, you don't have to be so polite. You thanked you last night, and I have the right to see you off for this meal. I hope you have a smooth journey and find Meng Yingshan as soon as possible. ”

Tai Hao and Ko Yi expressed their gratitude again, and admired Lu Jia's generosity and kindness in their hearts. They know that in this world, there are not many people like Lu Jia who are helpful and don't ask for anything in return. This friendship will always be remembered in their hearts.

So, under the light of the morning sun, Taihao and Koji Yi stepped on the horse and bid farewell to Lu Jia and this warm house.

They traveled for two more days, and they went through hardships and hardships along the way. On this day, they passed by a place that made Taihao feel very familiar - Mangdang Mountain. This mountain peak stands majestically and majesticly, as if a mighty general guards the land. Tai Hao once fought side by side with many brothers here to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and those years have now become the most precious memories in his heart.

When they passed by the foot of Mangdang Mountain, Taihao suddenly met two familiar figures. They were blind and lame, but Taihao recognized them at a glance as the two brothers Shizhi and Baidong. When fighting against the Japanese on the southeast coast, the "Twelve Brothers of Mangdang Mountain" once fought side by side, but unfortunately in that tragic battle, many brothers suffered heavy casualties. He was blinded because he was protecting his teammates, and Bai Dong was unable to move because of an injury to his left leg.

When Tai Hao saw the current situation of the two brothers, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sadness in his heart. He hurriedly dismounted and shouted loudly: "Brother Confession, Brother Baidong, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Hearing Taihao's voice, Bai Dong didn't recognize it for a while, and asked suspiciously: "May I ask where Your Excellency is sacred?" ”

Taihao felt a pain in his heart, he knew that the two brothers might have misunderstood him because of what happened back then. He hurriedly replied: "Brother Baidong, I'm Taihao!" ”

Hearing Tai Hao's name, his face instantly turned pale. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Do you still have a face? ”

After speaking, Bai Dong also said coldly: "Are you going to drive us away?" ”

Taihao felt an inexplicable sense of grievance and confusion. He didn't know what he had done wrong and why the two brothers were so hostile to him. He hurriedly explained: "Why did the two brothers say this? I never wanted to get rid of you. ”

But he said coldly: "Less nonsense! ”

In an instant, Shi Zhi and Bai Dong launched an attack on Taihao. Although he was blind, his blind staff swung freely, and each attack hit Taihao's body accurately. Although Bai Dong has a disability in his left leg, his right leg is extremely flexible, and every kick seems to be powerful and heavy.

Taihao didn't fight back, he didn't know why the two brothers were so angry. He just kept dodging the attacks while asking loudly, "Brothers, why is that?" His voice was filled with helplessness and sadness.

However, Shi Zhi and Bai Dong did not answer his question. They just kept attacking, as if they wanted to pour out all their anger and hatred on Tai Hao. Tae-ho could only constantly dodge the attacks while trying to find an opportunity to communicate with the two brothers. He knew that only by solving the misunderstanding in their hearts could they come to their senses.

Koji Yi on the side, seeing the situation escalating, the blood in his heart was instantly ignited. He clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with determination and determination, as if he was ready to swing his sword at any moment to help Master Taihao resist this unprovoked attack. However, he was about to make a move, but was stopped by Taihao with a deep gaze.

Tai Hao's eyes were full of wisdom and calmness, and he shook his head slightly, signaling to Koji that he didn't need to act rashly. His voice was calm and firm, as if an invisible force was circulating in it: "Kojiyi, don't be impulsive. The anger and misunderstanding in their hearts cannot be calmed by sword and force. Today's events need to be exchanged for hearts and hatred with affection. ”

When Koji Yi heard this, although he was still resentful in his heart, seeing the deep and firm gaze of the master, he finally chose trust and obedience. His grip on the hilt of the sword gradually loosened, and the flame in his eyes slowly extinguished, replaced by a deep determination and determination.

Just as the attack of Shishu and Baidong hit like a storm, a man came from a distance, his voice was loud and firm, and shouted: "Two brothers, stop, you have wronged Lord Taihao." The sound was like a thunderclap, instantly causing the offensive to recede like a tide.

Tai Hao followed the prestige, and saw that the person who came was tall and resolute, and it was the brother Baibei who fought side by side with them back then. In that year, in order to take care of Huaishan and Baidong who stayed in Mangdang Mountain, Baibei asked the emperor to seal his official position near Mangdang Mountain, and later he was named the deputy general of Song Chuan City to protect the peace of the party.

When he heard Baibei's voice, the offensive stopped instantly, and their faces showed expressions of surprise and confusion. Bai Bei walked up to them, looked at them deeply, then turned to Tai Hao, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Taihao, please forgive the two brothers for being rude. They mistakenly think that you have betrayed the brotherhood of Mangdang Mountain, so they will attack you. ”

When Taihao heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. He knew that it was all because of that battle and misunderstanding back then. He looked at Shizhi and Baidong, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, and then asked Baibei: "Brother Baibei, what is going on?" I never thought of betraying our brotherhood. ”

Bai Bei took a deep breath, as if he wanted to expel all the misunderstandings and grievances of the past years with this breath, and he slowly spoke: "This matter is a long story, Lord Taihao, why did you suddenly come here?" There was a trace of indescribable complex emotions in his voice, some surprises, some doubts, and even a deep nostalgia.

Taihao looked at the brother who used to fight side by side in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He smiled and said, "I'm going to Mengying Mountain, all the way from the east, just passing by here." ”

When Baibei heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he warmly invited: "Lord Taihao, if you are not in a hurry, please come with us to sit on the mountain." His tone was full of anticipation and sincerity, as if he longed to be able to relive the past with Tae-ho.

Taihao happily agreed: "That's great." He turned around and gestured to Koji, and then followed Baibei, Shizhi, and Baidong towards the place where they lived. Along the way, their mood was extremely happy and relaxed, as if years of misunderstanding and estrangement had disappeared at this moment.

When they came to the place where they lived, Taihao was surprised to find that they had been living in the Miyun Cave for many years. The cave is humble but full of warmth and memories. The swords and shields left behind when they fought together are still hanging on the walls, as if telling the story of those eventful years.

Baibei invited Taihao and Koji Yi to sit down, and then personally made a pot of hot tea for them. The aroma of tea is overflowing, and the rising water vapor spreads through the cave, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. They sat together, sipping tea, chatting about the past and future plans, as if time had stood still in this moment.

Taihao said with emotion: "I really didn't expect that we would be able to meet here again after many years. ”

Baibei sighed with emotion and said, "Yes, Lord Taihao, time flies, so many years have passed in a flash." His gaze flashed with the traces of time and deep nostalgia.

When Tai Hao heard this, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. He looked at Baibei's vicissitudes of life and resolute face, and asked, "Brother Baibei, are you still an official in Songchuan City?" ”

Bai Bei smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "After being a deputy general defending the city for a few years, I felt that I was not the material to be an official, so I resigned from my official position and lived with my two brothers on this Mangdang Mountain, living a life of idle clouds and wild cranes. His tone revealed a kind of ease and ease, as if he had found his true home.

After hearing this, Taihao couldn't help but admire Baibei's open-mindedness and ease. He continued to ask, "Aren't Brother Huaishan here now?" There was a hint of concern and nostalgia in his voice.

Hearing this, Bai Dong's face suddenly became gloomy, and he asked coldly: "Lord Taihao, let me ask you, do you really not know what happened to Brother Huaishan?" His tone was filled with anger and resentment.

Taihao was a little stunned by Bai Dong's sudden questioning, he frowned, and said seriously: "What happened?" I really don't know anything. There was sincerity and confusion in his voice.

At this time, he also said fiercely: "Taihao, let me ask you, were the officers and soldiers who swept Mangdang Mountain back then sent by you?" His voice was filled with anger and accusations.

Seeing this, Baibei hurriedly interjected: "Two brothers, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Taihao, it was a general named Canggu from the imperial court who brought the troops back then, and he never told the two brothers, don't wronged Lord Taihao." There was a hint of anxiety and concern in his words, apparently fearing that the misunderstanding would further deepen the rift between them.
