The people on both sides were so tired that they couldn't even speak. Tiezhen hurriedly brought people over to pick them up. Pei Yuanhao also asked his people to come up and pick up the servants and guards. There were a lot of people here, but there were also many villagers coming to see the fun. Although it was already dark and it was raining, it could not dispel everyone's curiosity, and even many older girls and wives rushed over.

When I turned around, I saw Ye Yunshuang walking over with an umbrella.

Everyone was a little embarrassed in the mud soup. She was pretty clean, but the corners of her skirt were stained with a lot of mud. She walked behind Pei Yuanhao and whispered: "Your Majesty."

Pei Yuanhao looked back at her: "Why are you here too?"

"I heard that the road is open here, so I came here to take a look."

"Where is Ling'er?"

"I've been asleep."

"It's late, you should be with her. Go back quickly."

I think Ye Yunshuang's instructions to him should be obedient. At this time, she subconsciously responded and left. However, she paused for a moment and said, "Is the emperor going to go into the mountain tonight?"

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, his deep eyes looked at the distance, the same unfathomable mountain road.

Ye Yunshuang said again: "It's getting late, and the situation inside is unclear. Your Majesty should not take risks easily. Let them go in first and make sure there is no problem. It's not too late to move again."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while before looking back at her and said, "I know. You can go back first."

"yes."

Ye Yunshuang agreed and held an umbrella to leave. Before leaving, she looked back at me and I only looked at her, because all my attention was placed in front of me, and the mountain road that was as deep as the mouth of a big snake.

When Ye Yunshuang also left, Pei Yuanhao turned around and ordered the two brothers Wenhu and Wenbao: "Please prepare the torch."

Wenhu immediately said, "The emperor really wants to enter the mountain?"

Pei Yuanhao looked back at him, and Wenhu hurriedly lowered his head and leaned over and said, "I dare not stop the sage. However, the words of Concubine Jie just now were reasonable. The emperor's body of ten thousand cars should not be taken easily."

Pei Yuanhao said lightly: "I know what I am doing, so there is no need to say more, go and prepare."

"yes."

The two brothers immediately went down, and I looked back and Su Su looked ahead. Although there was a little cowardice on her face, when she saw me looking at her, she immediately reached out and grabbed my sleeve: "Miss, if there is really danger inside, I must accompany the lady and will not leave at all."

I said, "What should I do if there is danger inside, hurt you?"

"That's better than hurting the lady."

I couldn't help laughing by her words and the serious expression on her little face. Du Yan stood beside her, with a blank expression on her face, as if there was no need to discuss this matter at all. I didn't talk to him too much, just asked him to call on the guards who followed us, and also prepared torches and weapons.

It was late at night, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

The drizzle slowly became rapid, urging people to move forward like tight drums.

The people on both sides of us were ready, because it was raining and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and there were still some falling rocks on the road that had not been completely cleaned up, and we could not get in the carriage. Pei Yuanhao and I were both riding horses, and the two of us were wearing straw raincoats and hats. The people who followed us also dressed up like this, which looked a bit funny, but on such a rainy night, there was nothing worth laughing about except for being uncomfortable.

I glanced at Pei Yuanhao, he nodded at me, so both of them waved to their people, and everyone walked forward together.

The night is very quiet.

We walked all the way inside, and the rain was still drizzling, but it was a little lighter, so that the torches were extinguished. On this road, only the sound of our footsteps and the sound of horse hooves stepping into the mud and water. For some reason, it sounded a little harsh. In addition, the tall mountains on both sides showed a hideous shape in the swaying firelight, which made us feel a little more terrifying.

Su Su sat in front of me, she couldn't ride a horse, and she grabbed my wrist with both hands. It was a cold rainy night and sweat came out.

It took half an hour to leave.

This road seems to have no end. The more you go, the more rugged the mountain road becomes, and the mountains on both sides seem to gradually close to the center. Although the width of the road has not changed, the feeling of being oppressed is still very strong and nothing has happened, but everyone can't help but become nervous.

Su Su and the others were even breathing tense.

After leaving again for a while, the people in front stopped and everyone was whispering something. They couldn't hear clearly on rainy nights. Pei Yuanhao and I both stepped forward and said, "What's wrong?"

An escort immediately stepped forward: "Miss, it seems that the front is about to end."

Going to the end?

This road is so muddy and difficult to walk on, and it was on such a rainy night. For some reason, I just felt ignorant that I might never finish this road.

But now it's coming to an end?

Some people have already run forward, and the torches that are poured by the rain cannot shine far. However, so many torches gather together can barely illuminate the front. I can see that there are several bends in front of the road, especially the farthest curve, which almost circles a hill protruding from the right, and then goes back. In front of us is a big mountain, which can't be seen for several miles, and the road has reached its end.

At the foot of the mountain is the end of this road.

That is the destination we came here this time.

Before we got closer, Su Su suddenly grabbed my wrist: "Miss, there is a ghost over there!"

"What?"

I frowned and looked down at her. She was probably very cold. She was afraid, and she was pale and shrank into my arms. She pointed one hand in front of her and said tremblingly: "There are ghosts there!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! Everyone was already very quiet, and her voice was not small. When everyone heard it, they were shocked.

Someone looked forward for a while, but his face changed, saying, "What is that swaying?"

"Yeah, what is that?"

Just as we were talking, a gust of wind blew up and the rain came, which suddenly extinguished the torches in our hands.

There are also many powerful generals who have been through life and death on the battlefield. They all kill people. They were originally not afraid of heaven or earth, but in such a strange place and on such a dark rainy night, I couldn't help but feel a little scared when I heard Su Su's words.

Pei Yuanhao, holding the reins in one hand, slowly rode his horse to the front. The Wenhu and Wenbao brothers immediately stepped forward: "Emperor!"

Pei Yuanhao said coldly: "A little thing is so fussy, what kind of morality is it?!"

When everyone heard this, they lowered their heads.

He waved his hand and said, "Come with me."

After saying that, he rode his horse forward.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was the emperor's destiny. Everyone dared not to obey. They hurriedly followed. Brother Wenhu and Wenbao cursed the people below and hurriedly protected him. Du Yan turned to look at me and said, "Miss Yan can rest assured."

I smiled and said, "I don't believe in those things that are powerful and insane, and ghosts are also afraid of evil people."

He was stunned. He probably didn't understand that I told a joke. Su Su looked at Pei Yuanhao's back in front of him and was amused by me and burst into laughter.

I said, "Let's go up and see if there is really a ghost."

Du Yan hurried a few steps ahead, and we followed them and walked forward.

Although you can already see the outline of the mountains ahead in the night, as the saying goes, "Looking at the mountain and running to death, it took a long time to walk along the way. After a heavy rain, the rain slowed down a little. Everyone lit the torches in their hands one after another. With the sizzling sound, the flames kept swaying. Finally, we bypassed the biggest bend and bypassed the mountain. The end of the road was in front of us.

Sure enough, on a rainy night, I saw many chaotic shadows shaking in a daze.

Although Zi was not talking about strange powers and insane, when I saw such a thing, I couldn't help but gasp. Su Su even let out a whimper and turned her head and threw herself into my arms.

Pei Yuanhao also frowned and looked ahead. Everyone around him stepped forward to stop his horse. Someone whispered: "Master, the safety of the emperor is important, you can't make a rash move."

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, but still looked ahead.

I also watched the shadows swaying around in the rainy night, which was indeed a bit scary, but after a while, they were still shaking around and there was no more action.

If you are really a ghost, I'm afraid you are a lazy person, right?

I became bolder and shook the reins again. The horse under my seat slowly walked forward a few steps. Susu was so scared that she shivered. Du Yan looked expressionless and followed me forward, even a few steps faster than me.

Pei Yuanhao also led his men forward.

As we got closer, the shaking shadow we saw became bigger and bigger. Finally, when it was already very close, I saw it clearly.

Those were actually all the flags hanging high.

I was stunned.

After looking closely, the undersides of the Taoist flags were pitch black and more than one person tall. Along the wall, I finally saw a tall mountain gate standing there in the dark night. After careful identification, I found that it turned out to be a Taoist temple.

Someone in the crowd also saw it and hurried to Pei Yuanhao: "Your Majesty, there is a Taoist temple there!"

Pei Yuanhao frowned slightly.

And my brows frowned involuntarily.

Although this place is not rare, few people come here. Only people who have been operating iron ore for generations may stay here. But now, in this place, in the deepest part of the mountains, there is a Taoist temple in front of us.
