After listening to Baibei's explanation, Taihao finally understood why he blamed Baidong and why he would fight against him. It turned out that when the imperial court cleared the southern bandits many years ago, the officers and soldiers did come to Mangdang Mountain. An indescribable sense of guilt and anger welled up in his heart.

Tai Hao asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that General Canggu really led troops to Mangdang Mountain?" There was an unmistakable firmness in his voice.

He said angrily: "That's right! The officers and soldiers said that we were bandits and wanted to kill us all. In order to protect us, Brother Huaishan fought a fierce battle with them, and was unfortunately killed by them. I heard that the leading General Canggu mentioned your name in the battle, and you said, do you even know about it! His eyes flickered with anger and sadness.

Seeing this, Baibei hurriedly explained: "Brother Blame, please listen to me." I've already investigated it, and Lord Taihao really doesn't know about it. When the imperial court sent troops to the south to suppress bandits, I was still serving in Songchuan City, and I also heard some rumors. But I really didn't expect that General Canggu would come to Mangdang Mountain to clear it. When I got the news and hurried over, it was too late, and Brother Huaishan had already died in battle. General Canggu saw that I was an official of the imperial court and did not cause me any harm. He also learned about our deeds of fighting against the Japanese on the southeast coast for the imperial court, and mentioned you in the dialogue. may be because of this, the two brothers Shizhi and Baidong have a misunderstanding. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, the guilt and anger in his heart became even stronger. He said angrily: "Brother Canggu, what is this!" Dare to come to Mangdang Mountain to clear it! The brothers here have all served the Eastern Empire! Doesn't he know our merits and dedication? His voice revealed dissatisfaction and reproach to General Canggu.

Bai Bei sighed and said, "Later, General Canggu also apologized to us. He admits his mistakes and mistakes, but Brother Huaishan can no longer be resurrected. This is an eternal pain in our hearts. A flash of sadness and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Tai Hao was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "If I have the opportunity to meet General Canggu in the future, I will definitely seek justice for the Huaishan brothers!" He can't just die in vain! His voice was resolute and resolute.

Hearing this, Baibei shook his head lightly and said, "Lord Taihao, don't do this. It was all arranged by the imperial court, and General Canggu was also acting on the orders of the emperor. He also has his own hardships and helplessness. We understand his situation and hope that you will let go of the resentment and anger in your heart. There was a hint of tolerance and understanding in his voice.

Tai Hao was silent for a while, as if sorting out his thoughts, then nodded slowly, and said softly: "I have resigned from all official positions now, and like you, I am just a commoner." So, Brother Baibei, you don't have to call me 'Lord Taihao' anymore. His voice revealed a kind of indifferent calmness, as if he had let go of his past glory and status.

When Baibei heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by understanding and respect. He nodded and said, "I have also heard a little about what happened to Brother Taihao in the imperial court, so it is okay if such an official does not do it." Brother Taihao, have you ever met Brother Voye over the years? His tone was full of concern for Taihao and nostalgia for Voy.

When Tai Hao heard this, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes. He pondered for a moment and said, "I have never seen my senior brother Voy. It's just that some time ago, I heard that my senior brother went there to see my master once. Have you ever seen him? There was a hint of anticipation and longing in his voice, as if he hoped to get news about his senior brother from Baibei and them.

Bai Bei and Bai Dong glanced at each other, and a trace of regret flashed in their eyes. They shook their heads and said, "We haven't seen Brother Voy either." We have been living in seclusion here all these years, and we have not had much contact with the outside world. There was a hint of helplessness and regret in their voices, as if they also hoped to provide Taihao with more news about Voy.

When Tai Hao heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his emotions. He nodded and said, "It's okay, maybe one day I'll find him myself." There was a firmness and determination in his voice, as if no matter how many difficulties he encountered, he would continue to search for his brother's traces.

Bai Dong took a deep look and said sincerely: "Brother Taihao, our behavior just now was offended, please forgive me." His tone was deeply apologetic and sincere.

He also shook his head, and then apologized: "Brother Taihao, please Haihan!" ”

Seeing this, Taihao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The two brothers don't have to be like this, it's all a misunderstanding, it's already made clear, and we don't need to mention it again." ”

Bai Bei also nodded and agreed: "This matter has been made clear, and you brothers don't have to worry about it anymore." There was an air of reconciliation and relief in his words.

At this moment, Tai Hao suddenly remembered something, he turned to the reprimand, and asked, "Brother reprimand, I remember that you chose to go back to your hometown back then, why did you return to Mangdang Mountain later?" There was a curiosity and concern in his voice.

When he heard the words, an indescribable wave surged in his heart. He was silent for a moment, as if recalling that distant past, and then spoke slowly, with a hint of vicissitudes in his voice: "Back then, I returned to my hometown with the reward given by the imperial court and full of joy, hoping to enjoy my old age in the embrace of my hometown. However, fate played a cruel joke on me. ”

His voice revealed an unspeakable pain and helplessness, "Because I am blind, I have become a burden and a burden in the eyes of my hometown fathers. They took my money for all sorts of reasons and treated me as a useless waste. I felt indifference and alienation like never before, and my heart was filled with endless despair and sorrow. ”

There was a hint of self-deprecation and remorse in the tone of the reprimand, "In the past, I paid all the hard work and sweat for my hometown, but in the end I ended up like this. ”

He paused and continued: "In the endless darkness, I gradually understood a truth: in this world, only by yourself can you find a true way out. So, I decided to leave my hometown and look for a new life. ”

There was a hint of firmness and determination in his tone of reproach, "I used the only silver taels I had left, and followed a caravan to Songchuan City to this prosperous city. Here, I have gone through hardships, countless trials and tribulations. But I never gave up on my pursuit of life and hope for the future. ”

There was a determined glint in his eyes, "In the end, I came to Mangdang Mountain and reunited with the brothers Baidong and Huaishan. Here, I found my own home and reliance. Although the past days were full of pain and regret, I believe that in the days to come, as long as we unite and work together, we will be able to create a better tomorrow. ”

The story of the reproach moved Taihao. They deeply felt the hardships and hardships experienced by the show of responsibility, and also admired and admired his tenacity and courage. In the embrace of Mangdang Mountain, he found a new life and hope, and also regained the value and meaning of his existence.

Baibei enthusiastically proposed to Tai Hao: "Brother Tai Hao, since you have come here, why don't you stay in Mangdang Mountain for a few more days?" Let us treat you well and show you around and see how this place is different compared to back then. His voice was full of sincerity and anticipation.

Taihao shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Baibei, I understand your kindness. However, we have important things to do on this trip, and we must hurry as soon as possible, otherwise we don't know when we will be able to reach Mengying Mountain. There was a hint of determination and urgency in his gaze.

When Baibei heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "I don't know what happened to Brother Taihao when he came to Meng Yingshan?" Is it so urgent? ”

Tai Hao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Meng Yingshan's head Duogui has captured a woman, and the purpose of my trip is to rescue her. There was an unmistakable determination in his voice.

When Bai Dong heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "The head of Meng Yingshan? Brother Taihao, I heard that the three heads of Meng Yingshan were looking for women with Huigen in the rivers and lakes, and brought them to Meng Yingshan to practice martial arts. What does the captured woman have to do with Brother Taihao? ”

Tai Hao said in a deep voice: "Actually, she has no direct relationship with me, but she is the granddaughter of Tao Tangshan Bogu Hero." I knew him, and I couldn't watch his granddaughter suffer. Therefore, I had to go to Meng Yingshan to rescue her. ”

Bai Dong nodded in understanding, and at the same time reminded: "That's the case, Brother Taihao." Meng Yingshan's 'Three Sisters of Meng Yingshan' are famous in the rivers and lakes, they are strong in martial arts and ruthless in their methods, and it may not be easy to go to Meng Yingshan. His voice revealed concern and reminders for Taihao.

When Tai Hao heard this, a trace of firmness and determination flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "Even if the road ahead is difficult, I have to give it a try." ”

Taihao and Koji Yi were about to leave the Miyun Cave, but they heard the thunder rolling outside the cave, followed by torrential rain. Seeing this, Baibei smiled and teased: "It seems that God also wants Brother Taihao to stay overnight and spend this rainy night with us." ”

When he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Master, our horse ......" He looked out of the cave worriedly, for fear that the horse would be frightened and run away in the rainstorm.

Bai Bei waved his hand and said with relief: "Brother Taihao, your horses are still outside the Miyun Cave, I'll help you bring them in, don't worry." ”

Lu Yi insisted: "Baibei Daxia, no need, I'll take it." So saying, he hurried out of the cave, and in a few moments he came back with two wet horses, and tied them to a thick stone pillar.

Due to this sudden heavy rain, Taihao and Koji Yi had to temporarily give up the idea of leaving and decided to stay overnight in Miyun Cave. That night, Taihao sat by the fire with Bai Dong and Bai Beiwei and chatted about the past.

Since he lost his sight, his personality has become irritable and irritable, and he didn't want to talk too much with Taihao, so he lay down on the bed next to him early and fell asleep.

Tai Hao looked at the jumping firelight, and asked Baidong and Baibei: "After so many years, have those brothers ever been here?" His tone revealed nostalgia and emotion for the past.
