"Brother," I raised my glass leisurely in the room full of well-dressed and powerful people, "You are here to kill me."
The door was blown open by the violent storm. Lightning cast a swordsman's shadow long on the ground.
Iron sword. Thin. Tired eyes. Shape pin bone upright.
Wearing soaked rags.
I slowly stood up from the heads of those "big men" who looked like pigs and dogs.
For the first time in years, my dark lion wasn't just lying there, scaring people to breathe.
"I heard that you swore that you would start killing demons and eliminate evil for the people from the northernmost part of the Tianshan Mountains, and you would not stop until you reach the south of the Yangtze River. I knew that day that you would definitely find me."
"Brother!"
I growled the word in a low voice, as if there was a fire in my chest when I said it.
"When I saw you today, I knew that you are still the good old man. Everyone can step on your head and order you to run around like a dog," I smiled, "doing harm to the people..."
"For so many years, you have not even been willing to spend a little money for yourself to buy better clothes. Look at how luxuriously these pigs and dogs in the hall are dressed."
I pointed at the fat pigs in the room and said, "Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years. I've killed all the 'heroes' like you. Over the years, I've spent too much time with these mediocre people, pigs and dogs, and I've become bored."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, brother! Will you come and hug me?" I strode towards the swordsman and opened my arms to him.
"Or kill me?"
The man's hands trembled slightly. As I walked up, I quietly drew my sword from my cloak, and the flexible, palm-wide blade was hidden in my hand.
"If you don't kill me, you will never get to Jiangnan where you want to go in your life."

The beauty of Tangdi, Ebu Weiwei
There is nothing better than brothers today.
Many years ago, we hugged each other in the dark chaos before we were born.

Purpose: common goal
