Shen Ling led people all the way to the border, but it was dark all around, and there was no feeling of abundant water and grass as she imagined, but occasionally there were wild beasts wailing, like hell.

Her heart sank, and she couldn't figure out what to do.

"County Lord, are you sure our solution is feasible? I don't think there's something right." Commander Gu was a little unsure, so he could only hesitate to ask Shen Ling.

"The county lord will naturally not be wrong, she will know when she finds the passage, and she must be better at this matter than us, so don't question her anymore. The more she said that, the more she was unsure, what should she do then?" Seeing that Commander Gu said this, he couldn't help but interrupt.

"Yes, yes, I'm sure the county lord will." Song Qinyu saw that they were talking a lot here, and he couldn't help but interject again.

"Alright, don't talk about it, let's go further." Shen Ling interrupted them, I don't know if I disliked them for being noisy or what, I always felt faintly panicked in my heart.

She led people to the weakest point of the barrier and continued to probe.

I saw a blue light in the sky, which was very eye-catching, and everyone subconsciously raised their sleeves to block it.

"What's going on?" Song Qinyu had never seen such a scene, half felt magical, half frightened.

Shen Ling tried to stay calm, only to see a figure come out of the light.

The other party was dressed in black, with his hair scattered, and from their vantage point, he could only see a side face and chin, but no eyes.

"County Lord, I've been waiting for a long time."

It is a familiar sound.

Shen Ling's eyes lit up, "I didn't expect it to be you, why are you here?"

It turned out to be Xu Zhi, who he hadn't seen for a long time, and he seemed to have expected everything a long time ago, but Shen Ling couldn't figure out why he didn't come to her. c

There is also the matter of the little prince before, she also wanted to contact Xu Zhi to ask about the cause and effect, but she has never found any trace of him, and she doesn't know where he went, and she is still a little sad when she thinks about it now.

"The minister has been waiting for a long time, and finally saw you here, and he was very happy to be able to accompany the county lord to harvest great things from afar."

The corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and after opening the cloak, Shen Ling found that he had gray temples, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little cloudy.

"You mean you always knew what I was doing? You didn't really disappear?" The joy of seeing the old man was already greater than the fear of this unknown place in Shen Ling's heart.

He looked at Shen Ling with so many people around him, and he wanted to speak a few times.

Aware of his scruples, she smiled lightly and explained to him, "Then let's take a step to talk."

This place is remote and uninhabited, people can hear it clearly when they take a little breath, they can't really borrow a step to speak, but Xu Zhi doesn't seem to care.

He has always been outspoken about Shen Ling, and he does not hide some of his arrangements from her, and he can say anything directly.

"County Lord, I know that every step you have taken in the past has been very difficult, and the person I left for you must have been seen by Jing Xi, I wonder if you are satisfied? Maybe it's not a big deal, I'll help you open the passage next, and as for the rest of the matter, it's up to you to play for the time being. The ministers will also watch you from behind and guide you to the ultimate victory."

He said word by word very seriously, and Shen Ling burst into tears when he heard it.

Before this, she didn't expect that she would have his help all the way behind, and if she knew this, then she shouldn't have been so confident in herself.

Xu Zhi seemed to have a glimpse of what she wanted to say from her expression, and continued to whisper to her, "County Lord, you don't have to feel too anxious about this, I will help you behind your back, and others will naturally do too, these are all things you should do, you just need to accept it safely."

"I know." Shen Ling wiped away a handful of tears, always feeling that she was a child who was ignorant of the world in front of Xu Zhi, and his "county lord" and "great cause" made her feel vague and unfamiliar.

"You don't have to cry," he stretched out his hand to wipe Shen Ling's tears, and they were separated

"I'm not just for you, but there is only one person I am truly loyal to, that is, your mother, and now that she is gone, I have no way to do things for her, it's my fault."

He has always felt sorry for Shen Ling's mother, although he never said it, she could feel it, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he still had some concern.

Shen Ling exhaled lightly, holding back the tears that continued to rise, she understood that she would inevitably be assisted by others along the way, Xu Zhi was one of the thousands of these people, but not just one.

"The minister has disappeared for a long time for no reason recently, just to find a way to open the passage, and the county lord should not blame the minister, but fortunately, now that the minister has finally found it, he can come to help you pass."

After the two complained to each other, Xu Zhi finally spoke in his heart.

He took Shen Ling to the entrance of the passage, and when the others saw this, they also passed over.

With a wave of his hand, Xu Zhi opened the passage, which still glowed with a strange light, and it was easy to illuminate it in this dark place.

Shen Ling stepped on it first, looked at Jing Xi, and smiled softly at him.

Jing Ci's heart moved, looking at the passage, he already knew that the open passage could only accommodate two people, then this person must not be someone else, it can only be him.

"You guys go first, go back to China, it's enough for the county lord to have me to protect you."

Jing Xi immediately dismissed Shen Ling's cronies and wanted to go with him.

"Why can't we have one more? What if the county lord encounters any danger?" Song Qinyu was a little unhappy when he saw that Jing Ci was so dictatorial and wanted to interrupt him.

However, he was forced, summoned the dragon spirit, and drove him to the ground.

Song Qinyu was slammed hard, and when she felt the pain, she didn't say anything anymore.

"This passage can only accommodate two people, and since Jing Xi has already made a decision, the others still don't have to argue anymore." Xu Zhi interrupted them, unwilling to say anything more.

After the words fell, he directly took out the objects that he had been preparing for a long time to draw a formation.

After the formation, Shen Ling and Jing Xi were teleported away, leaving only Song Qinyu and Gu Commander Zeng Weimin and others.

They watched the passage close, and they couldn't say anything more.

"She really went with him." Song Qinyu was a little lost in a trance, but she didn't expect that at this time, it was not herself who could be by her side.

Even her own force is not as strong as Jing Xi, and she can't protect her at the most critical time.

But it's okay, as long as I can help her.
