As soon as Fang Ling walked out of the door, he saw Song Ying'er coming from outside with a fruit pot, and Song Ying'er couldn't help but be very strange when she saw that there was suddenly an old man she didn't know here.

The old man also saw Song Ying'er at a glance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a trace of unpredictable expression flashed, and then said: "Your Highness, this little girl has good qualifications." ”

Fang Ling didn't want him to play up Song Ying'er's idea, so he hurriedly said: "The senior has won the award, but he is just a maid." ”

Song Ying'er was so smart, when she saw Fang Ling saying this in front of her, she knew that this old man was not good, and at the same time, the sharpness of her five senses when cultivating the true cultivation method was also much stronger than that of ordinary martial artists, and she immediately felt the unfathomable cultivation of the old man.

The old man stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Highness's words are not bad, such a qualified little girl, the old man has seen it for the first time, so let's do it, anyway, His Highness is going to go far away, let this little girl accompany him!"

Hearing his unquestionable tone, Fang Ling frowned, Song Ying'er also immediately felt that Fang Ling was in a bad situation, how could she let Fang Ling be in danger alone, she said: "Your Highness, since you are going to go far away, of course the concubine will accompany you, and the concubine will go to lead the horse for you." ”

Fang Ling couldn't help but have a headache, this girl really didn't learn a lesson at all, she almost lost her life in Ghost Cry City last time, and told her not to take risks anymore, and now she actually came to this trick again.

It's just that he can't refute it in front of the old man, after all, his life is still in the hands of this person.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Fang Ling had no choice but to do it, he asked Dong Canghai to be called in, let him temporarily manage affairs in his place, and then went out of the city with the old man.

The imperial city of Chu is located in the central province of Chu and is surrounded by the six states of Dezhou, Wuzhou, Jianzhou, Nanzhou, Wuzhou and Liangzhou, forming an impregnable defensive line.

To rush from Dingzhou to the Imperial City, the most direct way is to enter Liangzhou from Dingzhou, but in order to delay time, Fang Ling deliberately chose the route from Dingzhou to Xingzhou, and then to Liangzhou.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, although the route from Dingzhou to Liangzhou is fast, but there are many mountain bandits, and the land of Xingzhou is relatively safe, the reason is only because this is the location of the East Dome Pass.

There are only a handful of people who can be a first-rank general in the Chu State, except for the first-rank general who is stationed in the imperial city and holds heavy troops, he is known as the general of the North, the South, the East and the West.

The four major passes they guarded were the North Dome Pass, the South Dome Pass, the East Dome Pass and the West Dome Pass.

The four major passes are dangerous and dangerous compared to ordinary important towns, they are all Jedi that cannot be opened, and at the same time, compared with ordinary important towns stationed tens of thousands or at most 100,000 soldiers and horses, the four major passes are stationed as many as four or five hundred thousand people.

The land of Xingzhou is the throat of the eastern entry into the central province, and the checkpoint of the choke point is this East Dome Pass, which can be called the first fortress in the East, and now the person in charge of the East Dome Pass is the sixty-year-old Oriental General Huang Longhu.
