Volume Four, Lord of Double Eagles, Chapter Two, Predecessor

The mansion of the Shuangying Pass City Lord is located in West Fort. On the chaotic house, a stone platform about three stories high stands at the city lord's mansion, which is six times ahead.

Outside the mansion is a circle of high walls, about one meter high, flush with the outer fort wall. The wall is wide enough for three people to walk side by side, and there are high watchtowers at the four corners, with narrow spirals inside, and then the three meter high watchtower stands tall at the highest point of Shuangying Pass.

This mansion is almost like an inner city. Such a grand building is hard to imagine that it was built in a barren land like Shuangying Pass.

The banquet that greeted the head of the Shi family and the new city lord of Shuangying Pass was held in the lobby of the lord's mansion. Bei Guotao was responsible for handling everything, preparing a lot of wine and food, as well as some wild game unique to the Shuangying Pass Mountain, as well as the white fish in the turbulent water of the Qishui tributary under his feet. The chef showed his skills and the banquet was quite sumptuous.

Those nobles who were about to leave Shuangying Pass to Shiwuju Nangong An and Xu Le, and they all said some good words of praise and prayer. A high meeting can be called the guests and hosts.

The banquet was perfunctory, and then everyone started to work on their own affairs. Liu Jun went to preside over the check-in of hundreds of private relatives. Peng ran around and helped him. Wang Dengke specially arranged Cheli and the group of Northern Barbarian Orcs who were dependent on her. There were all barracks of Ji Chang's troops available for free. After cleaning and tidying up, they checked in. In the two castles of Shuangyingguan, they were brightly lit and shining all night.

Lai Wenzhen asked Bei Guotao for the account book and even brought Su Ming to the scene. He checked the belongings left by Shuangyingguan one by one. In addition to the wealth, Shuangyingguan turned out to be Ji Chang's army. There were about 60 or 70 soldiers who were unable to leave their hometowns, so they were also included in Xu Le's army and also checked their number. As for the removal of the old and the weak into a team, it will take two days to do so.

The sisters Liu Xiaomei and Liu Ruomei were responsible for leading the maids to clean the inner courtyard where everyone wanted to live and sort out everyone's home in Donghua. This time I think it will not change for a long time, so I will make everyone feel more comfortable no matter what. To be honest, when we arrived at this dangerous Double Eagle Guanzhong, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

Piaoling Donghua. It has encountered disasters many times. These two eagle passes are so steep that they can finally relax everyone's tense nerves!

The two sisters Liu Xiaomei unloaded the belongings they brought from the earth overnight and transported them into the fort, and arranged their rooms. Liu Rumei happily agreed with the maids that they would go to collect wild flowers in the mountains during the day tomorrow, and decorate the inner courtyard that always looks a little cold. It would be better if they were a little angry.

As for Luohu Qi, after entering the Shuangying Pass, I don’t know where she went, and it didn’t appear during the banquet. Everyone knows that Luohu Qi is elusive and no one takes it seriously.

Everyone was busy with things, but Xu Le grabbed Shi Wuju and asked Xu Le to follow him to go up to the wall of the West Fort for a walk and chat. Xu Le thought that Shi Wuju had something to explain to him, so he followed him intently.

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

The wall of Shuangyingguan Fort is only about a thousand meters away from the bottom of the valley. Looking from top to bottom, it seems like you are in the sky. There is only a thin tributary of Qishui, reflecting the moonlight, surging and surging in the valley. On the top of this mountain, you can hear the roar of the water.

The mountain wind was extremely strong, and it hurt slightly on people's faces. Xu Le and Shi Wuju's collars were blown high.

Shi Wuju walked a few steps on the wall of the fort, pointed to a dark artifact on the outer wall of the city, which seemed to be a cannon and said, "Do you know what that is?"

Xu Le took a look and said in confusion: "Cannon?"

Shi Wuju smiled and said, "It is the sharp weapon that came from South Korea more than 20 years ago. It uses hundreds of smelting copper as its body, superimposed on the cannon with a formation, twitching the vitality of heaven and earth, and then explodes out in one fell swoop, with great power. This is the power of the Shaoguang cannon, the power of falling thunder and lightning, which can block the entire valley road. With such a craftsman, the Shuangying Pass has truly become a dangerous pass for the Shi family, and a natural danger that Rouran and the Zhao people are insurmountable."

Xu Le nodded, wanting to walk over and take a look, but he just muttered in his heart. The words of more than 20 years ago might be something that Hua Xiang invented. In Donghua, the power of gunpowder alone is not enough for those strong people, so he was ingenious to integrate Donghua's power into it. I wonder what kind of scene will this cannon of the Youth?

Shi Wujuyou pointed east: "Did you see the giant crossbow facing away from the wall of the opposite castle? It is a giant shadow-chasing crossbow, which is also a formation activates. It launches a giant arrow made of the Fallen Star Steel, which specializes in breaking the true energy of the warrior's body protection. No matter you are a warrior who has reached the level of Marrow Cleansing, it is difficult to be a giant shadow-chasing crossbow with a blow."

Xu Le looked at it in a serene sight and saw a flying bridge like a long black dragon swaying between the two castles. On the wall of the East Fort, opposite the flying bridge, a huge black crossbow was standing there, reflecting a cold metal light under the moonlight. The crossbow was engraved with formations, and blue light flashed from time to time. Four giant arrows were placed on the crossbow, ready to be fired at any time.

The valley road was blocked with the Youguang Cannon, the dangerous terrain of the Shuangying Pass was guarded against the army's besieged, and there were shadow-chasing giant crossbows to deal with the powerful people who grabbed the pass. Such a dangerous pass was indeed the number one in Qin!

Slowly, time, chasing shadows... Isn’t Shi Bao’s twelve arrows the same name?

Shi Wuju seemed to know what Xu Le was thinking, and waved his hand and said, "A Bao's twelve arrows are the concrete and subtle weapons of these craftsmen, such as the craftsmen, Jin Wushang, who worked hard. But in terms of power, it is far inferior to those of these huge guys who shut the Double Eagle."

Xu Le suddenly realized that Shi Wuju made a circle again: "East and West Forts are protected by formations. Some are those who break the illusion, some are warning, some are lighting, some are those who break the virus, some are those who break the hidden, some are those who set up the gale wind... It is the nine-level gold lock formation of Tiandao Sect. The array eye is in the mansion of the city lord. Your private subordinate has a talisman array craftsman, who is quite talented, so let Nangong give him some guidance and follow the formation... Xu Le, the Shi family of Shuangyingguan has been operating for decades. It has caused the Shi family to be in poverty for years. It is the most important barrier of the Shi family. I will leave this to you!"

Xu Le nodded silently and nodded solemnly: "As long as I am here, these two eagle passes will not let you go one step."

Shi Wuju smiled: "I can trust you... I can do so many earth-shaking things as soon as I enter Qin. What is the point of defending a Double Eagle Pass?"

Xu Le smiled and didn't say much.

As if his nature had not ended, Shi Wuju waved to Xu Le again: "Follow me."

Shi Wu was tall in front and Xu Le behind, and walked to the side of the fort wall near the flying bridge. Looking down, the wall stood thousands of feet high, and the mountain wind was howling, making people shudder.

Shi Wuju squatted down and pointed to a crystal white piece of stone wall, like a piece of jade embedded in the black wall and said, "Come and take a look."

Xu Le also squatted down and used the light of stars and moon to distinguish the white and crystal stone surface.

There are some light golden characters on it. The font is ancient and after a hundred years, it seems that there is still a slow flow of golden light on the wall.

Xu Le's true energy moved unconsciously, and the natal true energy, which was like the light golden liquid, became slightly hot at this moment.

These words are very simple.

"Ji Wei stood here from afar, looking at the Western Wilderness from afar. He remembered his ancestors and felt infinitely touched."

Xu Le whispered: "What is this?"

Shi Wuju stood up slowly and looked at the unfathomable river valley under his feet: "The valley of Qishui was said to have been a jade dragon beast that was drilled out between the mountains more than 600 years ago. At that time, west of Rongqi, the world of this jade dragon beast was the world. King Zhou Shi opened up Donghua and cut the jade dragons in the mountains to refine the Yuhua Golden Crow Sword passed down from generation to generation by the Zhou royal family.

…………The King of Zhou Shi had no intention of returning to the hinterland of Donghua to establish the Great Zhou. More than three hundred years later, King Mu of Zhou ascended the throne. This King of Zhou, whose bloodline talent was said to be closest to his ancestors, wanted to do something that could be comparable to his ancestors. He intended to explore the Western Huang. He personally led the strong men of Lingyun Ertai to go west to Rongqi, and went west to deep thousands of miles. He discovered the terrain of the mountains, rivers, tribes, and brought back hundreds of Yuezhi fairies...……This Double Eagle Pass was built by King Mu of Zhou Ji Weiyuan.

When he returned here from the depths of the Western Wilderness, the true method of the Sun Yao was at the point of breaking through the barrier of life and death. He built the Shuangying Closed Pass here to practice. He went into seclusion for three years. And the Shuangying Pass was managed like this. We are just inheriting the legacy of the Zhou royal family......

…………After breaking through the pass, King Shi of Zhou used Shuangying Pass as the foundation to sweep the thousands of miles of wilderness west of Rongqi. It turned out that many ferocious beasts that had wandered here isolated from the Rouran Guifang and other troops contacted Donghua were killed by King Mu of Zhou. Those ferocious beasts had also been attacked in groups, and the traces on the walls were the traces of the fierce battle back then.

…………The King Mu of Zhou finally returned east. After returning to Tiandu, a rebellion between the Thirteen Princes in the battle for the throne broke out. Many powerful men in Lingyun Second Platform participated. King Mu of Zhou worked hard to calm the chaos. His energy and lifespan was gone, and he could no longer move westward. For more than a hundred years, Qin Yuanhou and Zhao Zhenghou went west to Rongqi and established two marquis states. Before Shuangying Pass, Qin and Zhao had fought bloody battles to determine the ownership of this marquis. However, the powerful formation that King Mu of Zhou used to maintain the operation of this marquis can no longer be operated, and later people added other formations on it. However, compared with the legendary Shuangying Pass, it was impossible to resist the huge power of the ancient ferocious beasts' attack.

…………… What’s more important is that King Mu of Zhou killed so many remaining ferocious beasts in the Western Wilderness, and the treasures refined by many great magicians on the spiritual platform are said to be left at Shuangying Pass, but no trace is found anymore. The spiritual energy dissipated and there is nowhere to be found……………………”

Shi Wuju stood on the fort wall that stood thousands of feet high and slowly said. The hundreds of years of changes in the East China and the West, and countless fierce battles and fighting were said in these words, and in a blink of an eye, they were torn apart by the mountain wind and scattered.

Xu Le glanced at the city of Guan, which had been around for hundreds of years in the night, and said silently.

Shi Wuju suddenly looked at Xu Le: "Why did you say I want to hand over Shuangying Pass to you?"

Xu Le shrugged: "Because I'm handsome... don't slap in the face! I'm just kidding!"

Shi Wuju had raised his fist as big as a casserole and looked up and down at Xu Le, as if he was thinking about where the punch would be better.

"……………It is probably because I am carrying the true method of the Sun Yao of the Zhou royal family………You think these eagles are locked in my hands and play a greater role, and can help the Shi family more and help Qin State more."

Shi Wuju nodded, then silently went down the fort wall, walked all the way to the city lord's mansion, climbed up the courtyard wall, and looked for a lookout building, followed the hovering steps to the highest point.

Xu Le followed him without saying a word until both of them stood on the narrow tower that only allowed four people to stand shoulder to shoulder.

Only when you stand here can you truly be at the peak of Shuangying Pass. Even the two castles are curled up at their feet. It seems that you can touch the stars and moon in the sky with your hands. The strong mountain wind blows, and you are helpless and supportive, and you are on it, shaking.

Shi Wuju looked west, and Xu Le's eyes also turned.

Standing at a high place, the vision is excellent. Under the stars and moon, the endless Western Wilderness is revealed in front of you. Outside the vast mountains, at the end of the world, you can vaguely see the sky in the west, as if it was illuminated by the fire.

At such a long distance, you can still see traces of faint fire illuminating the sky. I don’t know how many Rouran tribes are now gathering west of the mountains, staring at them, waiting to cooperate with Qiang Zhao and enter the hinterland of Qin. Then follow Qiang Zhao and spread into the land of Donghua in one fell swoop!

Shi Wuju was silent for a long time before saying softly: "Xu Le, will I misread you?"

Xu Le was also seriously considering it and did not want to treat Shi Wuju casually.

My ultimate goal is to find a way home, but the road ahead is vast and there are countless enemies. And in Donghua, I have always helped myself and brought me some advice. This is Shi Wuju, who is honest and honest, and has always treated others with sincerity.

Before you go back, these two eagle gates are your own home. It is also difficult to find a better place.

It is not only because of his responsibilities as a family, but also because it is temporarily inseparable from the Shuangying Pass. Why not help the Shi family?

Finally, Xu Le shrugged again: "Not only do you have to defend the Shuangying Pass, but you also have to manage the Shuangying Pass even more powerful than before. It is best to be able to operate the formation left by King Mu of Zhou and find some treasures or something. No matter what Rouran is strong, don't let them cross the Shuangying Pass in one step, right?"

Xu Le made a OK gesture in Shi Wuju: "Don't worry! Leave it to me and you'll sleep in Qiyin every day."

Finally, Xu Le couldn't help but mutter: "Why do I feel like I'm suffering a loss when I take these two Eagle Passes?"

Shi Wuju beat Xu Le and said, "You are so cheap and you are good at it! You can cause trouble so much, and you can also provoke Jidu gods and demons. Can there be a safer place than Shuangying Pass?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Although he was speaking easily, Xu Le knew that this was the first promise he made in Donghua besides his brothers and the evil girl.

A man promised...

Both of them didn't want to go down for a moment. Although the mountain wind was strong, they stood in the wind, as if they were in the void, thousands of miles of the Western Desert were all under their feet.

Xu Le suddenly asked, "Is this ancient beast still there in Donghua?"

Shi Wuju said casually: "There is a wow! The extreme north is said to be between the ice sea and the volcano, and there are ancient ferocious beasts living in it. It is a place where even several Zhou kings with high cultivation have never set foot."

Although Shi Wuju spoke casually, Xu Le keenly heard a different kind of heaviness from his words.

Xu Le suddenly reacted and his expression became serious: "Zhao Hou Yao Ba had been fighting in the north for three years, is it..."

Shi Wuju whispered: "Yes."

Just one word, it is as cold as a knife.

Xu Le thought about it and could only roll his eyes. Damn, this burden is really not light!
