Chapter 1,728

General Gu was overjoyed when he heard that the old Marquis personally escorted the grain and grass. He had not seen the old Marquis for several years, and this time he could catch up with the past!

Xiao Lintian inquired about the military situation and learned that the permanent population of Sandong Town was only about a thousand, and many of them were poor people who came to the coal mines to make a living.

It's just that transportation is underdeveloped, and the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Eastern Qi Dynasty often fight wars. The coal mines dug out cannot be sold or transported, and everyone's life is very poor.

Xiao Lintian was thinking about the entrance to the divine realm in Mohe, so he changed the topic to this.

Only then did General Gu learn that Ling Yu had been kidnapped by Zhao Ruirui.

He frowned and said: "The emperor sent the general to guard Mohe before, so he asked the general to pay attention to the abnormalities in Mohe. The general set the capital of the state in Sandong Town because this is a place where abnormalities frequently occur!"

General Gu stretched out his hand and pointed far away: "There is a mountain thirty miles away from here. The locals call it Taigu Mountain. I heard that this Taigu Mountain has been the same for hundreds of years, but a few months ago a wildfire suddenly broke out and burned half of it.

In the mountains and forests, strange results began to appear!”

"What's strange?"

The report Xiao Lintian received before was not very detailed. General Gu has been here for several months and should have a more comprehensive understanding.

General Gu said solemnly: "First, a child herding cattle disappeared inexplicably near the mountain. The child's parents and dozens of friends from the countryside went up the mountain to search for him, but no one was found."

"But the amazing thing is that after more than ten days, everyone thought that the child was eaten by a wild beast on the mountain, but he turned up safe and sound again!"

"When I asked him where he had been for so many days, the child said that he hadn't gone anywhere, just grazing cattle in the mountains!"

Pei Yu heard this and said smoothly: "Is the child hiding somewhere for fun?"

General Gu shook his head: "If it was just this kid who said this, it might be the reason, but then several woodcutters had the same experience as him. They disappeared inexplicably and came back inexplicably!"

"But not all of them came back. There were more than a dozen people missing, and only five came back! The whereabouts of the rest are still unknown!"

"Now this Taikoo Mountain has been rumored to be a ghost mountain by the people, and people don't dare to approach it easily!"

Xiao Lintian frowned, and Pei Yu and Qin Shan said in unison: "Your Majesty, we will go to Taikoo Mountain tomorrow, so you can stay and wait for news!"

Pei Yu said: "Anyway, we have sent a letter to ask Eunuch Mo and Aunt Wu to come here to join us. They should have a way to take you into the divine realm, so don't take risks!"

Xiao Lintian is the emperor and has a distinguished status. Pei Yu does not want Xiao Lintian to take risks.

General Gu said: "Your Majesty, General Pei and Qin Shilang are right. You can't take risks easily. Even General Pei and Qin Shilang do not approve of your going!"

"Because the general has sent a team of ten people into Taikoo Mountain, but only one person has returned so far!"

Xiao Lintian was stunned for a moment and then said: "Where is this man? Bring him to see me!"

"It's the last general!"

Ling Feng stood up, with a look of shame on his face.

"Your Majesty, the general and the ten people entered Taikoo Mountain. Half of the forest in front was burned bare by the fire. The front and rear mountains were originally connected."

"But it's strange. The trees in the back mountain don't look like they were burned at all. They all grow lush and green."

"At the end of the day, a group of people walked into the woods and felt that the air was better than outside. We could still see each other at first, but as we walked, we became separated!"

"The general was looking for them in the woods, but he didn't see them after circling for a long time. The general turned out of the woods. General Gu and the others found the general, but they said that the general had been missing for five days!"

"But I really didn't feel that I had been missing for five days. I felt like I had been in there for half a day!"
