"Tsk...... What is this place? ”

Feeling his body as if he was soaking in water, the terrible feeling made Duan Yu sit up suddenly.

The water droplets above were like beads with broken threads, and the drops fell down, Duan Yu stood up and looked up, this was a cave, and the bottom of the stalactites above was full of water stains.

And what flowed under his feet was obviously a stream that sprang out from the depths of the cave.

"Hmm...... Where is this? ”

Duan Yu looked back and saw that Ling Yun was beside him, holding his forehead with his right hand, and the expression on his face was still a little confused.

"Are you alright?" Duan Yu frowned, squatted down and grabbed her shoulder, sighed and said, "Why are you bothering, how is it, is there any injury?"

"Ah...... I'm fine. Ling Yun smiled and said, "Duan Lang, do you know what this place is?"

"Here?"

Duan Yu stood up and swept his gaze around, there seemed to be some ordinary stone walls everywhere.

Suddenly, his gaze caught a bright light in the distance.

That place came from the deepest part of the cavern, and it was from there that the soft light of vermilion emanated.

Strange?

Duan Yu's heart trembled violently, and he didn't know why, he always felt that the bright light had an inexplicable attraction, as if it was leading him there?

"Although I don't know what the situation is, I think it's better to go over and have a look."

After Duan Yu finished speaking, he pulled up Ling Yun on the ground and said, "You wait for me here, don't walk around."

"No, I'll go with you." Ling Yun grabbed Duan Yu's right hand and said in a firm tone.

Duan Yu saw that her tone was resolute, and there was no other way, thinking that he would only have to wait for one more thought, and protect her safety first.

After walking for a while, as the light got closer and closer, I don't know why, the weird feeling in Duan Yu's heart became stronger and stronger.

After turning a corner, Duan Yu finally saw the true appearance of the bright light.

"Actually...... Is it the Suzaku Statue? ”

Looking at the huge statue of the Vermilion Bird, Duan Yu's heart suddenly trembled, isn't this thing the statue of the Dali Protector Divine Beast that only the Dali royal family can see, the legendary Vermilion Bird?

On the huge statue covered in vermilion, it is constantly emitting a soft vermilion light, and this Suzaku carved from an unknown material can even be described as lifelike.

And on Suzaku's beak, it seems to be holding something like a jade seal.

How could this idol appear in such a place?

At this time, Ling Yun's eyes also emitted a light that was not easy to be noticed.

As soon as her gaze made contact with that of the idol, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands and kept backing away, a look of fear all over her face.

"Lingyun, what's wrong with you!

Duan Yu didn't care about the statue, turned around abruptly, and asked with both hands on Ling Yun's shoulders.

"I ...... Let's go! Ling Yun held his head in his hands and whispered, "Get out of this place!"

"Bang—grunt."

Duan Yu was about to speak, but he heard a crisp voice from behind him.

When I turned my head, the thing that fell from the ground was actually the vermilion jade seal on the mouth of the Suzaku statue before!

Duan Yu picked it up and was about to take a closer look, but as soon as his palm touched the surface of the jade seal, he felt a flood of information in his mind.

"Hmm...... What is this? Duan Yu only felt that there was a mess in his mind, as if it was about to explode.

Gritting his teeth, Duan Yu slammed the jade seal to the ground.

"Bang!"

I saw that at this time, a small pit was smashed out of the ground by the bottle of jade seal, and the information in his mind was also rapidly fading.

"Duan Lang, are you okay?" Ling Yun ran over from behind, hugged Duan Yu, and said in an excited tone: "Let's get out of this ghost place quickly, leave that thing alone!"

Duan Yu's brows were almost twisted into a line, and after half a day passed, he just took a deep breath and said, "Lingyun, give me your silk scarf."

Ling Yun asked with a blank face, "What do you want that thing for?"

Duan Yu just looked at the jade seal and didn't say a word.

Ling Yun was slightly stunned, but he still took off the silk scarf on his body and handed it to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu took the silk scarf, wrapped the mysterious jade seal on the ground, and then put it in his clothes.

"Alright, we should go back too." Duan Yu looked at the bright light at the entrance of the cave, and he had already strode outside.

"Duan Lang, wait for me." Ling Yun lost his mind a little, only to find that Duan Yu had already left the hole, and hurriedly chased after him all the way.

At this time, Dongping Mansion, Dong Ping's heart was turbulent.

Looking at the official document placed on the table in front of him, Dong Ping's face at this time was only a solemn emotion.

"Big brother, let's eat first." Liu Yun walked over and said, "This dish has been heated three times."

Zhu Wuye frowned, and said, "Big brother, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless for us to sigh now, so let's leave the Jin people's affairs alone."

Liu Yun saw that the maid nearby was still standing aside with tea, and hurriedly asked her to go down first, and poured three cups of tea herself.

Dong Ping was silent for a moment, but he still shook his head and walked into the secret room by himself.

Liu Yun and Zhu Wu were stunned for a moment, but they still brought tea and followed in.

Dong Ping sat on the wooden chair in the center, but the look in his eyes was complicated.

Originally, I thought that the last time I used the discord to get rid of Wanyan Zonggan and kill Wanyan Zongwang, the Jin army was also defeated in the area of Hubu Dagang, at least it could weaken some of their strength.

However, according to the secret news sent back by Shi Xiu's deputy from the Jin Kingdom, the Jin people now actually have 800,000 iron horsemen and more than a million troops!

Moreover, in terms of detailed information, Dong Ping learned that the Jinren now have a large number of iron ore resources.

You know, with these resources, coupled with the heroic and good fighting of nomads like the Jurchens, their army can be replenished almost instantly after its losses!

Even if all the people are soldiers, after fighting a batch and the next batch, it is not impossible for the current Jin country!

Thinking of this, Dong Ping's heart suddenly became even heavier, he didn't expect that Yuxi actually had such a strong strength.

A momentary mistake, but it sent strength to the opponent, if he had known the role of the central jade seal earlier, how could things have progressed to this point!

Clenched his fists tightly, Dong Ping gritted his teeth, forcing himself not to think about those things anymore.

Anyway, now I have to take the time to find the next jade seal, otherwise, with the current Great Song Dynasty, it would be a fool's dream to say that he would defeat the iron cavalry of the Jin people.

"The most important thing now is the steam engine and the vehicle-mounted artillery." Dong Ping looked at the two people in front of him, and said in a low tone: "Strategist, I don't know how the progress of these two things is now?"
