Patrol Captain

"Don't be lazy!"

"Yes!" Gao Yu's ears moved slightly, and he immediately understood. Then he led people into the hall and lifted up the eunuch.

"You. You guys"

"What do you want to do?"

The eunuch who was holding the lamp was seriously injured at this time. His body was limp and powerless. He allowed himself to be carried up by the soldiers. He screamed in fear and anger.

Chen Yuan ignored the eunuch and walked out of the hall on his own. The setting sun shone on his body, like a gilded fire.

Xu Liang and Gou Yue's faces changed slightly when they saw this scene, but they could only follow him out.

"General, Eunuch Ruan was sent by His Majesty after all, so please show mercy to him!" As the person in charge of this incident, Xu Liang was still afraid of something going wrong.

"This eunuch said that my hundreds of thousands of soldiers were peasants who would rot in the mire of Shu. I didn't kill him on the spot, which was already a courtesy to his Majesty!"

Chen Yuan's sinister voice came.

Xu Liang's face jumped, and he immediately chose to shut up. At the same time, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. Asking these eunuchs to do the job was really to do bad things. These people used all their minds to guess the emperor's mind, and they didn't know how to restrain themselves when they were outside. Aren't they looking for death? The previous warnings were useless.

Sure enough, those words spoken at the foot of the mountain were heard by this Dragon and Tiger General!

"Please don't pay attention to other people. Come on, let's get drunk!"

Chen Yuan stepped on the ground and fell into the air.

The two behind hurried to catch up.

Soon, as the sun set in the west and the sky darkened, a banquet was held in the villa on the hillside of Yunding Mountain. There was music, military competitions, sword dancing, and cheers.

Chen Yuan sat at the head of the table. During the meal, Chen Yuan and Pei Yanhu were not interested in drinking, but were whispering to each other.

Several Lieutenants toasted the two men from the court one by one.

It looked like everyone enjoyed themselves at the dinner!
Just as Chen Yuan was hosting a banquet to entertain the visitors from Shendu, under the cover of night, seven hundred miles southwest of Jinguan City, there was a county called Baping.

Behind Baping County, there is an ancestral mountain. Most people in the county will be buried in this mountain after a hundred years, that is, after they die. This has been the case for generations. People often visit this mountain to worship their ancestors, and this mountain has gradually become the ancestral mountain.
What’s strange is that half a year ago, the sky changed abnormally, heavy snow fell, and a mountain suddenly appeared behind the ancestral mountain.

That is a shining mountain1
Behind the ancestral mountain, there was only snow flying from floor to floor, dark clouds covering the sky, and only one mountain peak was exposed, like a golden mountain under the sun.

This strange phenomenon caused quite a stir at the time, and many people came to see it. Later, it attracted the attention of the Ninth Mountain, which was blocked by soldiers. Later, thick fog rose from the sky and the earth, covering this golden mountain just like the ancestral mountain. People and animals could not enter. Once they entered, it was like being trapped in a wall of ghosts and they got lost inside. It became more and more dangerous later. Once people entered, it was like a drop of water entering the sea, disappearing without a trace, and no one has ever come out since.

Originally, this place was blocked by the soldiers of the Ninth Mountain, but what happened later led to the withdrawal of the soldiers. Now, the area near Taiping County is a mixed bag.

Today, the vitality of heaven and earth in Shu has revived, and it is said that many rare treasures have appeared in various places, attracting all kinds of people to come to Shu in search of opportunities.

A mountain glows like the sun shining on a golden mountain. It is very mysterious and must be extraordinary, attracting people from all walks of life to come and take a look.

However, ever since the fog appeared on this mountain, it has become more and more dangerous, becoming a truly dangerous mountain. Many people have never come out after entering. It is said that even the powerful Musashi got lost in it.

Among them, there was a group of people who went in and disappeared without a trace.

But, half a month ago, someone received a message from this team.

That was a letter asking for help!

At this time, snow was flying everywhere and the wind was howling. At the foot of the ancestral mountain, there was a dilapidated land temple. Outside the temple, figures in tight clothes were standing guard, and their sharp eyes swept across the vast snowy night. The ancestral mountain in the distance seemed to be shrouded in clouds and mist, as if covered in a layer of shadow.

In the temple, there were crackling sounds and a blazing fire, the flames illuminating the faces of several people.

These people were all dressed in brocade clothes, with sharp eyes and sturdy build. It was obvious that they were good at martial arts, but a few of them had the look of anxiety and fatigue, or fear and anxiety.

No one spoke, the air was as silent as water, with only the crackling sound of firewood dispelling the cold.

Not long after, the neighing of horses could be heard from the wind and snow outside.

Xilulu

The sound was getting closer, accompanied by the sound of footsteps in the snow.

The air in the temple immediately became restless, and then several people near the fire moved their eyebrows, stood up immediately, and rushed outside.

When they flashed out of the temple, they saw the howling wind and snow outside, and soon pairs of green lights like faint flames appeared from the wind and snow!
Then, a series of black shadows broke through the wind and snow and soon revealed their true forms.

There were large horses covered in fish-scale armor, a carriage in the middle, and a long escort convoy behind.

On the big horses, men wearing black cloaks stood tall, their postures straight and strong like pine trees.

In the carriage behind him, the curtain was pulled aside, and an old man wearing a cloak, a jade hairpin on his head, with a thin face and captivating eyes appeared.

Several people in the temple stepped forward immediately, bowed their heads and said:
"Lord Changshi!"

The old man looked at them with a gloomy look, "Still no news about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Someone said in panic, "Yes!"

"The prince used the God Incense to send a message half a month ago, saying that they were trapped in a coffin on a cliff in the mountains. Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped talking. When we sent the message back, several Musashi guests sent by the palace went into the mountains and disappeared one after another, never to come out again. Now there are only a few of us left, staying outside the mountain."

The man who was speaking was one of the retainers who had followed the Prince of Beiliang into Shu. When the Prince of Beiliang was trying to inquire about the news about the fire phoenix on General Mountain, his eyes fell on the mountain that suddenly appeared in Taiping County. He led all the retainers into the mountain in the dark of night and never returned.

Half a month ago, the prince suddenly sent back news through a secret treasure. The news was bad, and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

They passed the news back to Beiliang, and learned that the royal palace had sent many experts to rescue them, but none of them said a word after they left, which caused panic.

This mountain was too fierce. Even when these Musashi entered it, there was no noise at all. They all disappeared, and their life or death was unknown.

The old man's eyes suddenly shone with light when he heard this. He looked towards the rolling clouds and mist not far away, like a mountain in the abyss.

"This place is too weird!"

"The prince is unpredictable and dangerous!"

"But now we are in Shu, and we can't make a big fuss. The only thing we can ask for is the dragon and tiger in the ninth mountain!"

As he spoke, the eyes of the Zuo Changshi from the Beiliang Palace became deep, with a hint of awe in them.

“That one!”

"But that person is not on good terms with the prince!" a retainer exclaimed.

"Shut up! How could that Deng Lin Long Hu have the guts to compete with a junior like the prince?" (End of this chapter)
