Chapter 41 Exploring the Skygate Array

The emperor Zhao Heng's order was to arrive at the border gate, but Yang Liulang knew that he knew little about the array, so he did not go to Jiulong Mountain to 'watch the array' at the invitation of Han Yanshou, the grand marshal of Liaoning soldiers. Knowing that his old mother, Mrs. She, will also come to the border, so Yang Liulang intends to watch the 'Tianmen array' with his mother.

However, Yang Liulang did not tell others about this idea, so there were some minor misunderstandings in the barracks. From the bottom of the soldiers, there began to circulate the words such as 'Marshal Yang was afraid of the Tianmen array of Liao, and even the array did not dare to see 'Liao soldiers were going to win and the Song Dynasty was going to be defeated'.

Yang Liulang didn't do anything after hearing this, but several of his brothers couldn't sit still. Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, Yue Sheng and other people are all hardcore subordinates of Yang Liulang, and they all came to Yang Liulang for advice. Yang Liulang shook his head and only said, "Rumors stop at the wise."

After that, Yang Liulang took out a handwritten letter and handed it over to Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, asking them to go to Wutai Mountain to invite Yang Wulang down the mountain. A rough person will only be bored on the side. Yue Sheng is more intelligent. He thought that since Liao is so rampant, this 'Tianmen array' must not be an ordinary array. It's better to find more helpers to help break the array.

In the end, Yue Sheng came up with a person, who he knew from Yang Liulang, and now Yang Jiawulang, who is a monk in Wutai Mountain. In fact, Yang Liulang is also making all kinds of plans in his heart, so he has no time to pay attention to those 'little things'. Since Han Yanshou repeatedly invited Yang Liulang to watch the array, he realized that this 'Tianmen array' should not be easy to break. Therefore, Yang Liulang thought in his heart to invite more masters to help break the array.

Among the 'masters' known by Yang Liulang, in addition to his mentor Ren Dao'an, that is his fifth brother, Yang Yande. Among the seven sons of Lao Linggong Yang Jiye, Yang Wulang has high martial arts, good understanding and outstanding wisdom. It's a pity that Yang Wulang went home and became a monk. He doesn't want to go to the world. However, this 'Heaven Gate Array' could be related to the whole Song Dynasty, and Yang Liulang had no choice but to ask Yang Wulang down the mountain.

Three days after the two brothers Meng Liang and Jiao Zan left, the brigade of the court also arrived at Gaoyang Pass. When the brigade was settled, everyone gathered in Yang Liulang's handsome camp to discuss the 'Tianmen array' together. Originally, Yang Liulang thought that his mother, Mrs. She, had been fighting with his father for many years and should have seen such a formation. Unexpectedly, Mrs. She shook her head and didn't even hear it.

Yang Liulang sighed in his heart and had to prepare to 'watch the array' at the invitation of Han Yanshou. Mrs. She, Kou Zhun and other intelligent people naturally understand that this 'viewing array' is a 'exploration', and Han Yanshouding will not have any good intentions. They all do not agree with Yang Liulang's personal 'viewing array'.

"I am the commander-in-chief, so I should lead the generals to explore the 'Tianmen array'. If Benshuai doesn't go this time, the military will be more unstable. Yang Liulang's words made Mrs. She and others have to nod.

The next day, Mrs. She led the daughters of the Yang family to sit in Gaoyang Pass. Yang Liulang took Yue Sheng, Yang Xing and other generals to Jiulong Mountain to watch the array. From the border gate to Jiulong Mountain Feihuyu, you must pass through the border between Song and Liao, because Jiulong Mountain is in the territory of Liao. Because of Han Yanshou's command, the Liao soldiers guarding the crossing were not stopped, and Yang Liulang quickly came to Jiulong Mountain.

Jiulong Mountain is called Jiulong Mountain because it consists of nine mountains. These nine mountains crawl on the ground from afar, so Jiulong Mountain is very famous in Liao. On both sides of the Kowloon Pass, there are countless tents on the nearby mountainside. There is a wooden railing in the middle of the road of Kowloon Pass. It can be seen that the Liao soldiers are very closely guarded. However, those tents can secretly shock Yang Liulang. If he leads troops to attack Liao, those tents will not be easy to break through.

While Yang Liulang was watching, three heavy drums suddenly sounded on the hillside. Then a group of Liao soldiers rushed over to protect a general, and behind the general was a flag embroidered with the word 'white'. Then look at the general, dressed in black gold armor, with a dark complexion and a fierce face. With a pair of sledgehammers in his hand, he looks like a fierce general. Yang Liulang can't count the number of battles with the Liao soldiers, but he has never seen this general. It can be seen that Liao also paid enough money for the 'Tianmen array'.

Thinking of this, Yang Liulang's heart was even heavier. However, Yang Liulang is not allowed to continue to think about it now, because that member will come to Yang Liulang in front of him. The general first looked at the 'Yu Linlin' where Yang Liulang sat down, and then punched Yang Liulang: "I have been ordered to stationed at Jiulong Mountain Pass, the commander-General of Han Yuan's command. Today, I heard that Marshal Yang came to watch the array and came to welcome him. South Korean Marshal will be there immediately. Please wait a moment..."

Before the dragon finished speaking during the day, a piece of dust was raised in the mountain, and dozens of horses came quickly in the dust. Yang Liulang looked at it from afar, and the leader was his old ally Han Chang Han Yanshou. Seeing Han Yanshou's appearance, Yang Liulang sighed for a while, but he didn't expect to see Han Yanshou's hair and beard white for several years. Looking at Han Yanshou's old and haggard look, this 'Tianmen array' is almost the most important battle of Han Yanshou.

The matter of winning or losing with the 'Tianmen array' has been decided. After a few simple words, Han Yanshou personally led him and went to the mountains. Entering Jiulong Mountain, Yang Liulang was discovering the real face of the Flying Tiger Mountain. It's really strange and rocky, and the ancient trees are towering. Further in, the road is wide, but there are not many trees on both sides, all of which are rocky. After walking for a while, a mountain lay in front of everyone. In the middle of this mountain, there is a stone cave facing Yang Liulang, and there are two tall stone gates on the cave. Stone doors are very ordinary, like ordinary doors, carved with ghost heads and stone rings. But there is a huge stone next to it, and the stone is engraved with three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing - 'Tianmen Array'.

When Yang Liulang was waiting to say something, Han Yanshou had already exited first and said loudly, "Open the door, the 'watching' people are coming--"

As soon as the words fell, the two stone doors slowly opened a wide seam. Through the crack of the door, Yang Liulang and other generals saw that it was dark inside and could not see anything. However, the wind blowing from the door stone makes people's scalp numb and has a gloomy feeling. It seems that the wind is mixed with a fishy and ugly smell.

"Please, Marshal Yang." Han Yanshou saw Yang Liulang's face and others, and his heart was full of fierce anger after so many years of consecutive defeats.

No matter who they are, there is always fear of the unknown, and Yang Liulang is no exception. Thinking that all the generals were looking at him, Yang Liulang took a deep breath and was about to disarge into the battle. Yue Sheng and Yang Xing looked at each other and said in unison, "Marshal, wait for us to explore first."

Within for Yang Liulang's obstruction, the two have rushed into the cave. However, Yang Liulang had just disassociate and wanted to enter the battle later, but there was Yue Sheng and Yang Xing's exclamation. Then, the two stumbled out and looked at their faces as if they were frightened. Yang Liulang saw the expressions of the two and knew that he could not 'explore' any more today.

Seeing that he had reached his purpose, Han Yanshou said sarcastically, "Marshal Yang, these two generals must have also seen some, and I don't need to look at this. Let's set a deadline for this broken battle now, so that we can prepare for each other.

Yang Liulang looked at the stone door that slowly closed behind him and hesitated in his heart. However, when he saw Han Yanshou's face with contempt and wanted to say something, Yang Liulang immediately raised his voice and said, "It took me a year to break through your Tianmen array. I don't know if South Korean Marshal has any difficulties?"

"Difficult?" Han Yanshou laughed and said loudly, "Okay, just one year."

Looking at Yang Liulang and other Song Jiang's backs, Han Yanshou sneered and said to his heart, Yang Yanzhao, do you know how long this Tianmen array has been and how much manpower and material resources have been spent, and you want to break the battle in a year. It's really whimsable and desperate to die.

Besides, when Yang Liulang and his party passed by the dragon during the day, the daytime dragon personally sent them out of Jiulong Mountain and said with some meaning, "Marshal Yang, if you want to enter the mountain next time, you have to leave 'buy road money'."

Yang Liulang's body was stunned and ignored the daytime dragon, but continued to run to Gaoyang Pass. He can't delay here, because Yue Sheng and Yang Xing look very inappropriate. However, Yang Liulang remembered that Yang Liulang did not pay attention to his attitude at all.

Seeing Gaoyang Pass in the distance, Yang Liulang was finally relieved. However, when he looked back at the situation of Yue Sheng and Yang Xing, his face immediately changed. Because their faces were black, their bodies on horseback were unstable and they were about to fall down. Yang Liulang hurriedly strangled his mount and drank all his subordinates. When they stopped, Yue Sheng and Yang Xing couldn't hold on, and both fell from the horse.

When Yang Liulang was waiting for someone to carry them on their back, Gao Yangguan rushed out of the group. Naturally, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan were led by, but a monk was one step behind. The monk's face was black and purple, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a big axe behind him. He was not Yang Wulang, a monk from Wutai Mountain, who else could he be.

"Brother Six, it's good that you're fine." Meng Liang and Jiao Zan got off the horse before they got close to Yang Liulang. At the same time, they also cared about Yang Liulang's safety. The same is true of Yang Liulang behind him. When he saw that Yang Liulang was sound, the anxiety in his eyes dissipated. However, when his eyes fell on Yue Sheng and Yang Xing, who were dark in the crowd, he frowned.

Yang Liulang also looked relieved when he saw Yang Wulang, but this was not the time to catch up. Yang Liulang nodded to Yang Wulang first, and then commanded his subordinates to carry Yue Sheng and Yang Xing into Gaoyang Pass. Back to the camp, Yang Liulang immediately asked someone to call the military doctor, but was stopped by Yang Wulang.

When Yang Wulang saw that Yang Liulang was puzzled, he said, "The two of them were not injured, but poisoned. This kind of poison cannot be solved by ordinary people. At present, there is only one place in the Song Dynasty where there is an 'redote' to cure this poison. If you want to break the 'Tianmen array', you must have this 'algeb'.

Jiao Zan was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Fifth brother, just say, where is this antidote? I'll ask for it."

"This 'redote' is in Mukezhai, Shandong..."
