The parents' persuasion did not make Luo Yannian change his mind: "Father and mother, three years is too long, and no one can guarantee that there will be other accidents after three years."

No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, he just wants to be named on the gold list as soon as possible, and to seal the marriage with his cousin.

Seeing the worried expressions of her mother and grandmother, Wen Nuan said, "I'll send my cousin to the imperial city."

Luo Shi glared at her daughter angrily: "You are a girl from every family, so what can you do if you go, it will only make us more worried."

"Ghost Mountain" was said to be so scary, Luo and the others were very disturbed.

It's just that Luo Yannian and the others have made up their minds, and no one can change their minds.

Wen Juye also said: "Nuan Nuan, you are temporarily acting as the county magistrate of Anping, how can you leave for so long?"

"Now Anping City is very stable, Nuan Nuan can go if he wants to, I'm here with the county government." Qin Yang said: "Otherwise, there are adults too."

My lord is most worried about the future of the candidates, if Nuan Nuan can send the candidates to the imperial city safely, it can be regarded as an end to my lord's concern.

Bai Muyang also happened to be going to the imperial city, so they happened to be on their way together.

In order to save time, everyone pooled their money and rented two horse-drawn carriages. Including the Wen family's carriage, there were three in total. The group set off for Taizhou before the Lantern Festival.

Half a month later, the group came to the foot of the "Ghost Mountain" in Taizhou.

"Is this the Ghost Mountain?"

Everyone looked at the towering mountain, covered with a thin layer of snow, and they were somewhat afraid in their hearts.

"Did you hear any sound?" Suddenly a scholar asked.

"Yes, yes, there seems to be a 'dong dong dong' sound!" The faces of several candidates turned pale.

Nuannuan also heard the sound of something hitting, his heart sank, and he looked at Bai Muyang.

We haven't entered the mountain yet, and everyone is afraid. How can we go this way?
Bai Muyang also felt that the voice was a bit strange, but he said calmly: "There are many natural phenomena in this world that cannot be explained by common sense. Please stay calm and find a sheltered place to rest for a while. Prepare to enter the mountain after hours."

"Do you really want to enter this 'Ghost Mountain'?" A timid person asked in a low voice.

Luo Yannian looked at the mountain full of unknown dangers in front of him: "I've come here, do I want to go back? Or are you giving up on Chunwei?"

The man stopped talking.

Of course, everyone is not willing to give up like this.

There were 15 people in this group, including Bai Muyang and Nuan Nuan. They found a shelter from the wind and built a temporary stove. They lit a fire and cooked a pot of minced meat porridge.

Everyone drank two bowls of hot porridge, and just as they were about to enter the mountain while they were warm, they heard a rush of horseshoes in the distance.

Not long after, everyone saw three officials wearing yamen uniforms riding towards them on horseback.

The three got off their horses a few meters away from Nuannuan, and one of them stepped forward, "Excuse me, is this 'Lequan Township Lord'?"

"Yes." Nuan Nuan looked at the yamen servant suspiciously: "Who is this big brother?"

"'Lequan Township Lord', the youngest one is a servant of the Taizhou government government. We, the magistrate, learned that 'Le Quan Township Lord' brought the masters of Lianzhou and Tongyuanzhou to go to the imperial city over the 'ghost mountain', so we specially ordered The little ones came to dissuade the Lord."

Wen Nuan frowned slightly: "Why?"

The yamen servant raised his head, took a hasty look at Wen Nuan, and said, "Mr. Xiang, this 'Ghost Mountain' has no entry and exit. Our magistrate is also thinking about the safety of Mr. Xiang and all the masters! Chunwei comes once every three years, but there is only one life." , Lord Xiang and all the Juren masters should listen to my advice and go back."

As soon as the yamen servant finished speaking, there was another crashing sound from the mountain.

The faces of several yamen servants changed suddenly: "Mr. Xiang, all the masters, the mountain god of 'Ghost Mountain' is angry, please leave here with the little one."

Wen Nuan didn't believe in any mountain gods, she looked at the servants with scrutiny: "What will happen if the mountain gods get angry?"

Several yamen servants paused, and one of the yamen servants said: "The consequences of the mountain god's anger are very serious. Those who approach the 'Ghost Mountain' will become living dead at light, and there will be no bones left in the severe ones! Why don't you go back to Taizhou City to rest with us first?" One night, shall we send you back tomorrow morning?"

When the timid Juzi heard this, he was frightened and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiang, let's listen to the elder brothers."

Several other people were also heartbroken.

Seeing a few people change their minds because of a few words from the yamen servant, Luo Yannian felt displeased: "Anyone who repents will go back with the elder brothers first. Anyway, I am going to the imperial city."

"I'm also with Brother Luo!" Someone echoed.

"I want to go to the imperial city too!"

Most of them are still unwilling to give up.

The sound of impact on the mountain became more and more obvious, mixed with sounds that seemed to be crying but not crying, which sounded very scary.

"Xiangjun, all Juren masters, if you don't leave, it will be too late!" The yamen servant urged with a scorched face: "It's getting late now, even if Xiangjun and all Juren masters want to cross the mountain, it's best to leave tomorrow."

A few timid people turned pale. If they really wanted to go up the mountain at this time, they might get sick from fright.

Nuannuan and Bai Muyang looked at each other, and agreed to go to Taizhou city with the yamen servant to rest for a night.

Taizhou City is not far from "Ghost Mountain", and it takes more than half an hour to drive there by horse-drawn carriage.

As the head of a state, Taizhou City is full of traffic, and there are many people coming and going, but they are all in a hurry, which makes people feel a little strange.

When you arrive in Taizhou City, you must first meet the Taizhou magistrate, warm because of the status of "Lequan Township Lord" is also invited.

Knowing that the prefect of Taizhou was going to have a banquet for them at a restaurant in the city that night, Bai Muyang told Lianqiu and Fudong to stay warm.

Wen Nuan whispered: "Brother Bai, have you also noticed that something is wrong in Taizhou City?"

"It's always right to be careful." Bai Muyang knows that Wen Nuan sometimes has a very careful mind. He doesn't think it's strange that she feels this way, but without any basis, Bai Muyang doesn't want to say more: "Don't drink when you go to a restaurant, others eat it." You pick up the past dishes."

When Nuan Nuan and Luo Yannian arrived at the restaurant, the prefect of Taizhou and other officials had already arrived, and they seemed to be chatting happily.

Shan Sili, the prefect of Taizhou, is in his 50s, with a small mustache, thin body, and wearing loose casual clothes. He doesn't look like an official at all, but looks a bit fairy-like.

Seeing Wen Nuan and Luo Yannian coming in, Shan Sili squinted and smiled, with an approachable look: "Mr. Xiang, Luo Juren, you will be fined three glasses of wine for being late, don't you think so?"

"Sir Shan is right, you have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty!" Several people agreed.

"It should be punished." Luo Yannian laughed, "But the Lord of the Township is a girl's family, so I drank her three glasses of wine on her behalf."
