The thin horse walked slowly, looking weak, stopping to eat grass several times on the way, and when the sun was about to set, Qingshui Guan finally appeared in front of him.

As Dong Canghai said, Qingshui Pass is in a dangerous terrain, just located at the junction of two mountains, forming a natural barrier, its city wall is built along the mountain, it is about 20 meters high, there are city towers and guards on it, like an iron wall.

At this time, under the city gate, there were not only soldiers standing guarding the gate, but also a group of people who looked like generals standing outside.

The leader was a black-faced man in his forties, this big man was dressed in a light helmet and general suit, with a round waist and arms, like a black bear, as if he had stomped his feet, and the mountain was about to tremble, full of momentum.

Don't look at his appearance so rough, but those eyes are dark and bright, showing full shrewdness, and this person is naturally Ma Kai, the main guard general of Qingshui Pass.

Next to Ma Kai is a lieutenant general in his thirties, who looks quite similar to him, with a small scar on the right side of his face, which adds a little ruthlessness.

This person's name is He Bao, a distant relative of Ma Kai's family, and he is also one of his confidants.

In addition to these two men, there were four lieutenant generals and other generals, most of whom were about thirty years old, dressed in military uniforms, with physique and weather-stained faces that had been trained in the army.

As soon as he saw the two carriages coming, Ma Kai led everyone to walk over, lined up in front of him, and bowed respectfully: "Minister Ma Kai leads the general of Qingshui Pass, and meets the king of Shicheng and Su Niangniang." ”

The guards under the city also knelt down in unison, and shouted one by one, "Meet the King of Shicheng and Su Niangniang." ”

The people who were still entering and leaving the city were taken aback and quickly knelt down.

Fang Ling was not surprised that his group was recognized by Ma Kai, he stepped down from the carriage behind him, waved his hand lightly and said, "Get up." ”

Only then did everyone stand up, and Fang Ling pretended to be surprised and said, "General Ma is really powerful, how do you know that my mother and I are in these two carriages?"

Ma Kai bowed very humbly, and replied with a smile: "Your Highness was a blockbuster yesterday, and it is widely spread in all parts of Chutu, and the ministers know that this Qingshui Pass is a place that His Highness must pass through, so he asked someone to inquire about the carriage that His Highness took when he left, and then let his flying pigeon pass the book." ”

I'm afraid that Empress Song passed on the characteristics of the carriage early in the morning.

Fang Ling's heart was bright, but he didn't show it, he just pointed to the carriage and quipped: "This thin horse is craggy, the carriage is tattered, it's really not difficult to recognize." ”

Ma Kai snorted and said: "Your Highness really likes to laugh, I think this horse is stained with the nobility of His Royal Highness and Niangniang, but it is a royal family among horses." The subordinates have prepared a good resting place for His Royal Highness and Niangniang and his party, please move His Highness and Niangniang. ”

"Okay, then there's General Rauma. Fang Ling bowed slightly, but his heart attached great importance to this Ma Kailai, this person is really the same as the master said, he is good at power, these few words are answered without leakage, and he has not shown any flaws at all, and he has always maintained a humble attitude, it seems that he has to be careful to deal with it.
