Chapter 270 Silver Thread Array
The Xixia imperial preceptor lived in the palace where the Lanyue Tower was built specifically for him. Before he became the imperial preceptor, he was trained in the Heishan underground palace.
Black Mountain is a high mountain located outside the Western Xia capital, Xiajing. There are soldiers guarding the foot of the mountain and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
Mei'er was poisoned and was able to hold on all the way back to Black Mountain with the help of Qingxin Pills. After entering Black Mountain, Mei'er put on a specially made black mask to cover her face and went straight into the underground palace.
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing followed Mei'er all the way into the Black Mountain Underground Palace. The further they went in, the more frightened they were. The underground palace was huge. It was estimated that the entire Black Mountain had to be dug through to build such a magnificent underground palace.
In the underground palace, everyone was wearing black clothes and black masks, so they couldn't see other people's faces clearly. The only thing that could prove their identity was a jade token hanging around their waists.
In order to conceal their identities, Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing knocked the two men unconscious, put on their clothes and masks, and after putting on the jade tokens, they walked in the underground palace as usual.
Mei'er walked for a long time and saw a woman with a gold-rimmed mask. She knelt down quickly and said, "Mei'er is back."
The man just glanced at Mei'er calmly: "Failed?"
Mei'er knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to speak.
"You're useless. You can't even do this."
Mei'er still kept her head down, not daring to say a word.
"Do you remember what your mission is?"
Mei'er then replied: "Prepare military prostitutes for the Xixia soldiers."
"Then why do you stay in Ning County?"
After hearing what this person said, Mei'er realized her whereabouts. It had never escaped her eyes. "Great Protector, I, I just can't accept it."
The Great Protector asked without any emotion: "I was the one who brought you back. Do you still remember what I said when I brought you back?"
"Once you enter Black Mountain, you must forget everything that happened before. From now on, you are just a member of Black Mountain. You only obey the orders of Black Mountain and must not do anything beyond the order."
"It seems that you haven't forgotten and you are committing the crime knowingly." The Great Protector sent out a strong wind from his hand and directly knocked Mei'er out. "Your crime is even more serious!"
When the Great Protector was about to make another move, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the tightly closed door behind him: "Let her in, I have something to ask."
The Great Protector then withdrew his hand and said, "You are lucky today. You have met the returning Imperial Master."
The stone door opened and Mei'er limped into the room. After entering, the stone door closed immediately.
It was very spacious inside, with many water tanks placed on both sides. There were many water lilies in the tanks. Water was flowing down from above and just flowing into the water tanks.
The sound of flowing water was particularly obvious in this empty stone chamber.
Mei'er felt a little panic and an inexplicable fear in her heart. She raised her head timidly and looked up along the stairs. On the stairs was a lotus-shaped throne. A layer of gauze blocked her view. She could only see a person sitting vaguely inside.
"You have done a good job in Ning County, but you are not attentive to the affairs of Western Xia." The slightly stern voice of the national teacher Wen Jing sounded.
