It was already night when we arrived at Wuliang Mountain, and there was a lone moon in the sky, shining on the way into the mountain. We stopped at the mountain pass, and dozens of horses were anxiously digging the soil with their hooves.

Zhu Danchen reined in his horse, looked into the depths of the pitch-black mountain, and said, "The mountain is such a big place, where can we find them?"

The night in Wuliang Mountain is desolate, the peaks are rolling up and down in front of you, the wind blows through the pine forest, rustling, and the road in front of you is winding and hidden in the darkness.It was very quiet around, probably no passers-by passed by here.Duan Yu rode his horse and took a few steps forward, and looked back at the guards with a look of anxiety on his face.

The brother-in-law stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, saying: "Since they asked us to come here, there will definitely be a next move, we just need to move forward."

In the night sky, a black vulture flew towards us through the darkness, circled above our heads, and flapped its wings to fly high into the sky.Duan Yu looked at the direction where the black vulture was flying, and said: "There is a sword lake palace in Wuliang Mountain, and people can probably hide there. I have been there in the early years, and later I heard that they used the entire Wuliang sword to avoid a big enemy. The faction has moved away, and that Jianhu Palace will be abandoned." He said this, looking at his brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law said: "Where is Jianhu Palace?"

Duan Yu said: "There is an inconspicuous path at the foot of the mountain over there. When we go up from there, there is a deep pool halfway up the mountain. Above the deep pool is the Jianhu Palace. You can't even ride a horse."

The brother-in-law said: "Let's go there and have a look. It's already late at night, and it will be too late."

Duan Yu nodded and said: "They want me to go up the mountain alone, the less people the better, I will go up with Big Brother, Zhu Danchen and others, and the rest will stay here, waiting to meet Fan Mahua's brigade , guard the exits of Wuliang Mountain."

The guards said in unison: "Yes."

He looked at me again, and I said, "Of course I'm going." Ling Yu also said, "Me too, and I want to save Miss Aruan."

Duan Yu nodded, said no more, and set foot on the path up the mountain with us.As we went up, the night became darker and the road became narrower. We galloped all the way through the elm forest halfway up the mountain, and saw a waterfall in front of us flying straight down into the deep pool of orchids. Youliang.The water slipped down from the crevices of the rocks, and the horse's hooves slipped a little. My brother-in-law helped me hold the reins and said, "Be careful."

I nodded.

After a short walk, we arrived at the mountain gate of Jianhu Palace. We dismounted and walked up.The gate of the mountain was dusty, and it must have been unoccupied for a long time.Weeds grew in the cracks of the stone road inside the mountain gate, and it was barren.

Ling Yu asked, "Are they here?"

Duan Yu seemed to sense something, walked straight forward, and pushed open the heavy door of the main hall.

The two annoying swordsmen under Emperor Liao stood inside, watching the people pouring into the hall, Liu Quan said: "We only invited Mr. Duan alone."

Duan Yu looked at him and said: "The people who came with me are not outsiders, if you have anything to say, please speak up."

Liuquan looked at the people around him and said, "What I want to say next is related to the national destiny of Daliao and Dali. It is difficult to say it in front of a person who betrayed Liao."

The brother-in-law said: "Using such a despicable method to blackmail others and lose the face of the Liao Kingdom, is it worthy of talking about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?"

The gray-clothed swordsman came out from the shadows, and smiled faintly: "The head of Jianhu Palace was originally a friend of our brother, we stayed here with him for a while, and at the same time invited Emperor Duan to have a cup of tea, which is the way to welcome guests Besides, the monarch of Dali is busy on weekdays, otherwise, how can we see the monarch, we have a plan to revitalize the two countries, and we want to dedicate it to Mr. Duan."

Duan Yu said coldly: "The relationship between the two countries is not to use secret tricks. Since you are the envoys of the Liao Emperor, you should go to the court to speak openly and aboveboard if you have anything to say. You first killed Zhongwu Wei and then kidnapped Uncle to come here. Is this what a gentleman did? If Uncle was harmed at all, let alone you two envoys, even Daliao, we would not let it go. It is still too late for you to invite Uncle out to plead guilty to the old man."

"And Ah Ruan..." Lingyu reminded in a low voice.

Duan Yu glanced at him and said, "Yes, there is Miss A Ruan."

Liuquan bowed respectfully: "Young Master Duan should listen to our proposal first, and don't be dazzled by the momentary anger."

The gray-clothed swordsman folded his arms and said, "The Song court is fatuous and the emperor is weak. Now is the right time to conquer it. If Dali joins forces with our Daliao to attack from the north to the south, the Song Dynasty will be defeated. At that time, the south of the Cangjiang River and the west of Xianghuan will be defeated." The land is all in Mr. Duan's pocket."

Duan Yu chuckled: "Did the Emperor of Liao also tell Xixia and Jurchen? After the Song Dynasty is over, when Dali's soldiers are exhausted and the people are weak, the Liao Kingdom will send their troops south and take us into their pockets Middle. This is Qin's plan to destroy the six kingdoms. Although Dali is a small country, it is not greedy, and it will definitely not be overconfident and act recklessly."

Liu Quan said: "Mr. Duan's words are too early, why don't you listen to your uncle's opinion?"

Duan Yu frowned: "What did you do to Uncle?"

Liu Quan said: "Emperor Duan is resting in the inner room, Mr. Duan, please come with us."

Behind the main hall is the road leading to the inner room. On both sides of the road are ponds that store water, which have long since dried up.After walking down more than a dozen steps, I came to the stone gate engraved with animal patterns. On both sides of the stone gate were bronze lamps, and the flame of the candle gas flickered slightly.

Liuquan pressed the switch, and the stone door slowly opened.

Looking at the dim lights, I felt a strange feeling in my heart.This feeling was fleeting, I calmed down and followed the crowd into the room.

Duan Zhengming was sitting on the round platform behind the stone gate.

Duan Yu strode over, but Duan Zhengming stopped him at this moment: "Yu'er, no."

Duan Yu stopped and looked at Duan Zhengming: "Uncle, how are you?"

Before Duan Zhengming could answer, Liuquan and the gray-clothed swordsman also walked in, looking at Duan Zhengming who was sitting in the center of the hall: "Doesn't Emperor Duan have something to say to Young Master Duan?"

Duan Zhengming looked at them with serious eyes, then closed his eyes: "Yu'er, let's go."

"What did you say, uncle?"

"leave here."

Duan Yu suddenly pressed his heart: "This is... what?"

The brother-in-law pressed the gray-clothed swordsman's right shoulder: "What did you do?"

The gray-clothed swordsman looked at him calmly.

He gradually frowned, and covered his heart with his right hand, and the gray-clothed swordsman shook off his hand.Lingyu was already on the ground, and I leaned against the wall.

Liuquan looked around us, with a smile on his lips: "You don't need to make too much effort, this is the moon-coated incense made by the shaman high priest of the Liao Kingdom. No matter whether it is human or ghost, anyone who falls in it will be fascinated."

Duan Yu panted heavily: "What do you want?"

Just as Liu Quan was about to answer, a long figure appeared at the door, holding a long sword in his hand.

He walked up to us and lowered his head slightly: "Have you been drugged?"

Liuquan said: "Yes."

His eyes became deeper and deeper in the dim light: "Follow me."

After leaving the inner room, he walked up a long winding mountain road, and then his sight suddenly widened.On the barren platform, in the darkness, stood a woman in white.

Shen Jue's breath was like ice, and he walked over coldly.

The woman in white stood with her back to us, standing at the far end of the deserted platform, and in front of her was the moon rising to the mid-heaven.The night wind was bitter, blowing the corners of her clothes, and her long black hair fell down like a waterfall.Ah Ruan was beside her, pressing his hands to his heart, as if praying.Seeing us appear, his expression burst into excitement, and he wanted to come over, but he dared not move his feet.Lingyu was about to rush towards her, but I stopped him and told him not to act rashly.

Shen Jue walked to the woman in white: "Master, they are here."

We silently looked at the woman in white.

But Duan Zhengming came out at this moment, reaching towards the woman in white: "Mengdie...is that you?"

Duan Yu was surprised: "Uncle?"

Duan Zhengming didn't realize it, and continued to move forward.

The woman in white turned around and looked at him.The moonlight fell on her, making her look pale.There was a mist in her eyes: "You...remember me?"

Duan Zhengming said: "Of course I remember your appearance."
