The large group of people slowly marched on the road to Shuangying Pass.

Although there is a tributary of Qishui that has been passing through the valley between the two mountains of Shuangyingguan, the mountains there are steep, the river channels suddenly narrow, and the rocks are rugged, which is not suitable for boating.

Xu Le and his party were like the first time they entered Qin State, and they abandoned their boats on Guchengdu. The lord of Guchengdu had prepared a large number of cars and horses and loaded baggage to facilitate Xu Le and his party to go to Shuangying Pass.

The team of this ranks is quite large, and Xu Le's own personnel alone are as many as five or six hundred. The boys and girls taken in the washing clothes farm will naturally follow them. It turns out that fifteen or sixteen households in the farm followed Xu Le to Shuangying Pass. These people are slaves, and they can only follow their masters in everything they do.

In addition to these teams, there was also a group of Northern Barbarians in the team. The cat-eared girl Cheli and Wu Daya successfully recognized each other. The more than 50 Northern Barbarian fighters remaining in Jiao City happened to have nowhere to go, so they temporarily joined Xu Le's command with Cheli and Wu Daya, and followed Xu Le to Shuangying Pass.

The Northern Barbarians have always been obeying the strong, and Xu Le's performance in Jiao City that day was enough to shock them. Along the way, including the most brave Wu Daya, they were obedient to Xu Le's orders. These Northern Barbarians were simple-minded, hard-working, and simple and straightforward. They were the ingredients for good parts. But if they could eat a little, they would have a taste of ten young boys and girls. No wonder Yandi was said to be wilderness and could not develop the economy. They were all such foodies. What kind of country could withstand it?

In addition to Xu Le's team, the Shi family members were accompanied. Shi Wuju Nangong safely set out. It was a big deal to change the city lord of Shuangying Pass. Although Shi Wuju decided to bet on Xu Le, a lucky guy, he could not simply throw Shuangying Pass to him, and he had to help him get on the horse and send him a journey. After all, Shuangying Pass is the first dangerous pass in Qin State that guards the northern road!

Shi Wuju and Nangong An accompanied dozens of subordinates. Along the way, he mobilized a large number of people from the Shijia lords everywhere to ship food, grass and military supplies and equipment. The team seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Not only Xu Le, but several goods were discussing privately, and the Shijia had nothing to say to everyone.

Xu Le didn't say anything grateful. Xu Le was such a person. The more he felt the need to repay the favor, the less he showed anything on his face.

In addition to Shi Wuju and others, Shi Yao was also in the team. She should have stayed in Qiyang to help Yanhou Nu and trained the newly established Tiger Guards. However, Shi Yao asked to go to Shuangying Pass. Shi Wuju advised him a few times, but he didn't say anything. Shi Yao never asked for anything for him, but this time he was extremely determined. Shuangying Pass also needed manpower, and if Shi Yao helped him take charge, Shi Wuju would be more at ease.

So Shi Yao went to the door to say goodbye to Yan Hou Nu and went to Shuangying Pass together. When Qin Yan heard the news, she just smiled calmly and gave many other gifts intimately. As for what the Hou Nu’s thoughts were, it is unknown.

Anyway, when Xu Le set out from Qiyang, the former chief of the Tiger Guard, there were few people who were deserted on the pier to see him off. Sun Yang showed up, most of the time it was for the sake of Shi Wuju and Nangong An.

However, Xu Le has already left everything behind Qi Yang behind his mind. What he is looking forward to now is his own city! In that city, he can truly be the master of his family and make it the most stable place in Donghua!

If you go from Guchengdu to Shuangying Pass, if you are fast horses, it will be enough for a day. But now the large group of people and many baggage will take two or three days.

I walked calmly along the way. Just as Xu Le and everyone under my command were looking forward to it, Shuangying Pass finally appeared in front of me.

This is the second time that Xu Le has seen Shuangying Pass, but after he starts again, he feels completely different.

The last time I traveled around was not long, but the mentality of a tourist was mostly a tourist. But now this place is already its own city!

A large group of people was crossing a mountain pass, and a Shijia Yier army knight stood on a high place and proudly raised his hand and pointed at the front: "This is Shijia Shuangying Pass!"

A river valley in front of me was winding through the mountains, with rapid water flowing, and roads were on both sides of the valley. After decades of development and renovation, these two roads were enough for the large group of people to pass through.

Shuangying Pass is located at the narrowest part of the two mountains sandwiched with the river valley. It looks like two castles, standing tall on the top of the mountain, each with a mountain road winding upwards. Between the two castles is a black fly bridge connected, shaking in the mountain wind.

The boys and girls under Xu Le's command were sore that their necks were sore, and their faces were full of a look of amazement. Seeing the flying bridge swaying in the air, each of them aroused a subconscious breathing sound in the team.

The pass of the two castles firmly controls this path through the river valley for hundreds of miles. Behind it is the fertile land of Qin. If you want to bypass Shuangying Pass, you can only call from the Guifang direction. I don’t know how many miles you have to go around.

My city, our city!

Shi Wuju rushed up from behind, looked at the Guancheng belonging to the Shi family and was full of pride. He patted Xu Le on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, take a closer look after entering the city. Now wipe your saliva clean first. Don't let the people in the city see that the new city lord has such a virtue."

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After climbing all the way, I realized how steep the road to the two castles on the top of the mountain was. It was only possible to get one person up and down. There were also patrolling soldiers blocking the road at the winding side of the mountain road. There were piles of beacons for warnings stacked on the walls.

Along the way, there are seven walls used as a warning. There are also simple buildings behind each wall to accommodate dozens of defenders. At the same time, some scattered houses exist behind the wall. Small flat grounds are created in the mountains to grow grain and vegetables, and there are also dried meat and skin hanging in front of the house. I believe the owner of the house is a hunter who relies on the mountain to eat the mountain.

The defenders were tied with black cloth strips to their weapons, and they opened the gates of the walls one by one, allowing Xu Le and Shi Wuju to pass through. The people of Shuangying Pass bowed and bowed to Shuangying Pass, the new city lord and the higher-level Shi family head.

After passing through the seven pass walls, I came to the castle west of Shuangying Pass. I could see it more clearly.

The two castles are similar in shape and are completely built with black stones and mortar commonly used by the Qin people. Each black stone is big and heavy. It is full of traces of the vicissitudes of time and countless war marks. These war marks are all common, but the most shocking thing is that it looks like claw marks captured by a huge ferocious beast!

These claw marks are crisscrossed and covered with castle walls, some of which are several feet deep. However, they are covered with moss, and some are still covered with wild flowers, dotted on the pure black castle walls. These claw marks have been left for hundreds of years.

Moreover, the mountain top is flat. The east and west sides look exactly the same size, as flat as a mirror. I wonder who had removed the tops of these peaks hundreds of years ago and then built two majestic castles that were far away from each other here!

Each castle is twelve or 3 meters high, and its shape is square, with a length of seventy or eighty meters long and wide, completely wrapping the top of the mountain. Outside the fort wall is the inclined mountain. This makes the fort wall look tall and steep. There is almost no place to place siege equipment to attack the fort wall along the mountain road.

Such a dangerous and immersive situation makes people even more dazzling.

At this time, the main entrance of the fort wall had already opened. A person with a white shirt and a man with a weapon with a black cloth tied with a pair of weapons and black cloth strips were waiting at the door. Shi Wuju, Nangong An and Xu Le, who came first. The man saluted Nangong An first, then Shi Wuju, and finally it was the turn of the new city lord Xu Le.

Nangong An was the first to speak: "Bei Guo Tao, after Mr. Ji passed away, you will be temporarily taking the position of power. Are you going to hand over?"

The wizard named Beiguo Tao is Nangong An's confidant, who assisted the former city lord Ji here. There are very few wizards sent by Nangong An to assist him. Shuangying Pass is important enough to be treated like this.

Beiguo Tao said respectfully: "Young Master An, Mr. Ji has no descendants to inherit it, so I will temporarily take over the power position and preside over the handover. According to the instructions of Deputy Wei Shi and Young Master An, the population willing to move to Qiyin has been counted, and only brings everyone's personal wealth. The rest, no matter whether it is food, grass, weapons, weapons, and objects, are all left unchanged. The numbers have been counted and counted, and are only waiting for Xu Jun to receive it."

Xu Le nodded and said that he knew. Shi Wuju and Nangong An made him almost keep the Shuangying Pass’s belongings intact. The people who moved away all used Qiyin’s farm to compensate. This is another great favor. Since he owe much, just remember it the same thing.

Shi Wuju was a little impatient and went into the city first: "Calculate these things. Then, we will have to delay here for a few days. With you, Nangong, you are afraid that the account will not be settled clearly? The important thing now is to settle down quickly. Xu Le has taken so many young and old men. After walking so far, be careful to get tired. We have worked hard with Xu Le. I tell you, you are the master now, and you will treat you tonight!"

Xu Le smiled and entered the city while Beiguo Tao was greeting.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw that there were also houses in the city. They were almost made of black stones, but there were no canals around them. There were only a few wells to get water.

The people were at the front of the corridor to see what the new city lord looked like. It turned out that the private servants and relatives of the nobles in the city were almost all moved back to Qiyin with a few officials from Shuangyingguan. Now, the people in the city look at a maximum of four or five hundred.

In addition to Dongguan City, there are also houses attached to the walls along the way, and the Shuangyingguan people have a maximum of more than a thousand people.

Although the area within a radius of more than a hundred miles is within the scope of the Lord of Shuangying Pass, it is basically all mountainous land. The only farm that can be cultivated is the fertile valley area in the north of Guancheng. However, Rouran often goes deep into this area, and the people dare not go down to farm. They only open up a little bit of land in the mountains to survive.

No matter how you look at these two Yingguans, they all look poor, and they rely on the historians to support this steep and important pass.

No wonder Shi Wuju used Qiyin Tianzhuang as compensation, and the officials from Shuangyingguan were willing to give up their power here and handed over all the complete Shuangyingguan to Xu Le.

Well, this is my city…our city…

It's dangerous, but it's really poor!
Chapter completed!
