Volume 4 The Twin Eagle City Lord Chapter 2 Predecessor

The mansion of the lord of Shuangying Pass is in the West Fort. On top of the chaotic dwellings, on a stone platform about three stories high, stands the castle lord's mansion with six entrances in front and back.

Outside the mansion is a high wall, and the wall is about a zhang high, which is flush with the outer fort wall. The wall is wide enough for three people to walk side by side, and there are tall lookouts at the four corners, with narrow steps that spiral upwards, and then a three-zhang high lookout tower at the highest point of the Double Eagle Pass.

This mansion is almost like an inner city. It is hard to imagine that such a large building was built in such a barren place as Shuangying Pass.

For the head of the Shi family, there is also the wine banquet of the new city lord of Shuangying Pass, which is held in the lobby of the city lord's mansion. Beiguo Tao was in charge of everything, preparing quite a lot of wine and food, as well as some game unique to the Shuangyingguan Mountain, as well as white fish in the turbulent water of the Qishui tributary at his feet. The chef did his best, and the banquet was quite sumptuous.

Those nobles who were about to leave the Shuangying Pass toasted Shi Wuju Nangong An and Xu Le one by one, and everyone said some words of good praise and good prayers, a high meeting, which was worthy of the pleasure of the guests and hosts.

The banquet was perfunctory, and then everyone began to go about their own business. Liu Jun went to preside over the check-in of hundreds of private dependents, Peng Chong ran before and after to help, and Wang Dengke specially arranged for Che Li and a group of Northern Barbarian orcs who were attached to her. East Fort and West Fort have vacated barracks of the original Ji Chang Tribe, clean and tidy up after moving in, in the two forts of Shuangying Pass, they are brightly lit and shining all around.

And Lai Wenzhen asked Beiguo Tao for the account book, and also brought Su Ming with him. Check the belongings left behind in the Double Eagle Pass one by one. In addition to the assets, there were about sixty or seventy soldiers in the original Ji Chang tribe of Shuangying Pass, and they were also included in the Xu Le tribe, and their number should be checked. As for the elimination of the old and the weak and the reorganization into a team, that was a matter of two days.

Liu Xiaomei and Liu Xiaomei, the two sisters, were responsible for leading the maids to clean the inner courtyard where everyone was going to live. Organize everyone's home in Donghua. This time, I think it won't change for a long time, so I want everyone to live more comfortably. To be honest, when they arrived at this dangerous Double Eagle Pass, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.

Drifting Donghua. Repeated disasters. This pair of eagles is so steep. Finally, everyone's tense nerves can be relaxed a little!

The Liu Xiaomei sisters unloaded the belongings they brought from the earth overnight, transported them into the fort, and arranged their rooms. Liu Qiaomei also happily agreed with those maids that he would go to pick wildflowers in the mountains during the day tomorrow. Decorate the inner courtyard, which always looks a little cold. Some angry ones are more beautiful.

As for Rahu VII. I don't know where she went when I entered the Double Eagle Pass, and she didn't show up at the banquet. Everyone knows that Rahu Qi is elusive, and no one takes it seriously.

Everyone has something to do. But Xu Le grabbed Shi Wuju and asked Xu Le to follow him straight to the wall of the West Castle and take a walk and chat. Xu Le wanted to come to Shi Wuju and had something to explain to him, so he followed intently.

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

The Shuangying Pass Fort Wall is only about a kilometer high from the valley floor. When you look down from above, you feel like you're in the middle of the clouds. There is only a thin tributary of Qishui, reflecting the moonlight, rushing through the valley. On the top of this mountain, you can hear the roar of the water.

The mountain wind was extremely strong, blowing on people's faces with a faint pain, and Xu Le and Shi Wuju's clothes were blown high.

Shi Wuju walked a few steps around the castle wall, pointed to a swarthy cannon-like artifact on the outer city wall, and said, "Do you know what that is?"

Xu Le glanced at it and said suspiciously: "Cannon?"

Shi Wuju smiled: "Exactly, it was a sharp weapon that came from Korea more than 20 years ago. With a hundred refining copper as the body, the formation is superimposed on the cannon body, pumping the heaven and earth vitality, and then bursting out in one fell swoop, with great power. This is the Shaoguang cannon, the power of thunder and lightning, which can block the entire valley road. With such a craftsman's sharp weapon, the Shuangying Pass has truly become a dangerous pass for the historians, and an insurmountable natural danger for Rouran and the Zhao people. ”

Xu Le nodded, and wanted to walk over and take a look, but he just muttered in his heart. More than 20 years ago, maybe it was something invented by Hua Xiang. In Donghua, the power of gunpowder to push the projectile alone is not enough for those who are strong, so he ingeniously integrates the power of Donghua into it. This Shaoguang cannon, I don't know what kind of scene it will be once launched?

Shi Wuju pointed to the east: "Did you see the giant crossbow on the opposite fortress wall?" It was the Shadow Chasing Giant Crossbow, which was also driven by the formation, and it was a giant arrow made of Fallen Star Steel that specialized in breaking the true element of the martial artist's body. Even if you are a martial artist who has reached the level of marrow washing, it is difficult to be a shadow chasing giant crossbow when you grab the Double Eagle Pass. ”

Xu Le looked intently, and saw a black long dragon flying bridge swaying between the two castles, and on the wall of the East Fort opposite the flying bridge, a black and huge crossbow machine was standing there, reflecting the cold metallic light under the moonlight. The crossbow machine was engraved with formations, and from time to time there were cyan streamers flashing. Four giant arrows, right on top of the crossbow, are ready to be fired.

Blockade the valley road with Shaoguang cannons, guard against the siege of the army with the dangerous terrain of Shuangying Pass, and chase the shadow of the giant crossbow to deal with the strong people who grab the pass. is so dangerous, it is really the first in the Qin country!

Slow, Shaoguang, chasing the shadow............ Isn't Shi Leopard's Twelve Arrows of Breaking Edge also the name?

Shi Wuju seemed to know what Xu Le was thinking, and waved his hand and said: "Ah Leopard's Twelve Arrows of Breaking Blade are the specific and subtle weapons of Shaoguang Chasing Shadow, and the painstaking work of the master craftsman Jin without injury. But when it comes to power, it's far worse than the twin eagles closing these huge guys. ”

Xu Le suddenly, Shi Wuju drew a circle again: "East Fort and West Fort are protected by formations." There are those who break the illusion, there are those who warn, there are those who are illuminated, there are those who are anti-poison, there are those who break the concealment, and there are those who are in the wind............ It was the Heavenly Dao Sect's Ninefold Golden Lock Great Array. The array is in this city lord's mansion, and you have a talisman who is quite talented, so let Nangong give him a good guide and take this big array ............ Xu Le, the historian of Shuangying Guan, has been in business for decades. Countless investments have been made, making historians poor year after year. It is the most important barrier of the historian, I can leave this to you!"

Xu Le was silent and nodded solemnly: "As long as I am here, this pair of eagles will not let people cross a step." ”

Shi Wuju smiled: "I can trust you............ Just entering the Qin State can do so many earth-shattering things, what is it to defend a Double Eagle Pass?"

Xu Le smiled and didn't say much.

Shi Wuju seemed to be talking about sex, and beckoned to Xu Le: "You come with me." ”

Shi Wuju's tall figure was in front, and Xu Le was behind, until he walked to the side of the fort wall near the flying bridge. Look down. The walls stand thousands of miles, and the mountain wind is howling, which makes people shudder.

Shi Wuju crouched down and pointed to a piece of crystal white in the stone wall. It was as if a piece of jade was embedded in the black wall, and said, "Come and see." ”

Xu Le also squatted down. By the light of the stars and the moon, this white and crystal stone surface can be distinguished.

There are some large pale gold letters on it. The font is ancient, after a hundred years, it seems that there is still a golden mang's flow on the wall.

Xu Le's true yuan also moved unconsciously. Those pale golden liquids, which were also like natal true elements, burned slightly at this moment.

The words are simple.

"Ji Weiyuan stands here, looking at the Western Wilderness from afar, remembering his ancestors, and feeling infinite. ”

Xu Le said in a low voice, "What is this?"

Shi Wuju slowly stood up and looked at the unfathomable river valley under his feet: "The river valley of Qishui, it is said that more than six hundred years ago, it was a jade dragon fierce beast that was drilled out between the mountains. At that time, the west of Rongqi was the world of this jade dragon beast. The first king of the Zhou Dynasty opened up Donghua, and the jade dragon in the mountains refined the jade gold black sword passed down from generation to generation by the Zhou royal family.

............ King Shi of Zhou had no intention of going to the Western Wilderness, so he returned to the hinterland of Donghua and established the Great Zhou. And more than 300 years later, King Mu of Zhou ascended the throne. This King of Zhou, who is known as the closest to the ancestor with his bloodline talent, wants to make a career that can be compared with the ancestor. It is intended to open up the Western Wilderness. He personally led the Lingyun Ertai powerhouse to the west out of Rongqi, all the way to the west and thousands of miles deeper. The terrain of the mountains and rivers in the west has been explored, and the tribe is virtual and real. He also brought back hundreds of Yue's goblins............ This Shuangying Pass was built by Zhou Mu Wang Ji Weiyuan.

At that time, when he returned from the depths of the Western Wilderness, the true law of the sun was reaching the level of breaking through the barrier of life and death. It is here that the Twin Eagles are built to close the level of cultivation. One retreat is three years. And Shuangying Pass has become like this. We are just inheriting the legacy of the Zhou royal family............

............ After breaking through the pass, King Shi Zhou took the Shuangying Pass as the foundation and swept the thousands of miles of wilderness west of Rongqi. It turned out that many fierce beasts wandering here, isolating the Rouran Ghost Fang and other departments from contacting Donghua, were all killed by King Zhou Mu. Those fierce beasts also gathered to tackle key problems, and those traces on the wall were the traces of the fierce battle back then.

............ King Mu of Zhou finally returned to the east, and after returning to Tiandu, a rebellion broke out between the thirteen princes and the throne. Lingyun Ertai has many strong people participating in it. King Zhou Mu tried his best to quell the chaos. He also ran out of energy and could no longer go west. For more than 100 years, the Marquis of Qin Yuan and the Marquis of Zhao Zheng went out of Rongqi in the west and established the two marquis states of Qin and Zhao. Before the Shuangying Pass, Qin and Zhao had a bloody battle before deciding the ownership of this city. But the powerful formation that King Zhou Mu once maintained the operation of this gate city can no longer operate, and later generations have added other formations to it, but compared to the legendary Double Eagle Pass, which is impregnable and can resist the huge power of the ancient fierce beasts, it is no longer the same.

............ What's more important is that King Zhou Mu killed so many remnants of the fierce beasts in the Western Wilderness, and the treasures refined by many great magicians in Lingtai are said to have stayed in Shuangying Pass, but no trace can be found anymore. The aura dissipated, and there was nowhere to be found............"

Shi Wuju stood on top of the wall of the fort and said slowly. Hundreds of years of changes in the wilderness of East China and West China, countless tragic battles and battles, just said in these words, in the blink of an eye, they were torn apart by the mountain wind and blown away.

Xu Le glanced at the hundreds of years of Guancheng in the night, and was silent.

Shi Wuju's eyes suddenly looked at Xu Le: "Why do you say I want to hand over the Double Eagle Pass to you?"

Xu Le shrugged his shoulders: "Because I'm handsome......... Don't slap me in the face! I'm kidding!"

Shi Wuju had already raised his casserole-sized fist and looked Xu Le up and down, as if he was thinking about where this punch would be better.

“............ Probably because I am the true law of the Zhou royal family............ You think that these two eagles are in my hands and play a greater role, so that they can help the Shi family and the Qin State more. ”

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

Xu Le followed him silently until both of them stood on the top of the narrow platform on the watchtower, which could only accommodate at most four people.

Standing here, it is really the pinnacle of Double Eagle Pass. Even the two fortresses crouched at their feet. It seems that you can touch the stars and moon in the sky with your hand. The strong mountain wind is blowing, and there is no one to rely on, and people are crumbling on it.

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

Standing on a high place, the view is excellent, under the stars and moon, the endless Western Wilderness is displayed in front of you. Beyond the reckless mountains, at the end of heaven and earth, the western sky could be faintly seen, as if illuminated a little by the light of the fire.

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

Shi Wuju was silent for a long time before he said softly: "Xu Le, will I be wrong about you?"

Xu Le was also thinking about it seriously, and he didn't want to casually perfunctory Shi Wuju.

His ultimate goal is indeed to find a way home, but this road is boundless, and there are countless enemies. And in this Donghua, who has always helped himself sincerely and mentioned himself, is this Shi Wuju, who looks honest and simple, and has always treated people with sincerity.

Before he went back, this pair of eagles was his home. It's hard to find a better place.

Not only owes the historian affection, but also can't do without the Double Eagle Pass for the time being. Why don't you give the historian a hand?

In the end, Xu Le shrugged his shoulders again: "Not only do you have to keep the Double Eagle Pass, but you also have to manage the Double Eagle Pass even more effectively than before." It's best to be able to put the formation left by King Zhou Mu into operation, and then find some treasures or something. No matter what Rou Ran Qiang Zhao is, don't let them cross this pair of eagles one step, right?"

Xu Le gestured to Shi Wuju with an OK gesture: "Don't worry! Leave it to me, and you can sleep in Qiyin every day." ”

In the end, Xu Le couldn't help but mutter: "How do you feel that I have suffered a loss when I take over this pair of eagles?"

Shi Wuju slapped Xu Le: "If you are cheap, you are still good! You can make trouble so much, and you have also provoked the gods and demons of Jidu." What could be a safer place than the Twin Eagle Pass?"

The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

Although the words were easy, Xu Le knew. This is the first promise he made in Donghua in addition to his brothers and fierce girls.

The boy is a promise............

The two of them didn't want to go down for a while, although the mountain wind was strong, but when the wind stood, it seemed that they were in the void, and the western wilderness was all under their feet.

Xu Le suddenly asked, "Is there any such ancient beast in Donghua?"

Shi Wuju said casually: "Wow! In the far north, it is said that between the ice sea and the volcano, there are ancient fierce beasts inhabiting. It was a place where even several Zhou kings with high cultivation had never set foot in. ”

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

Xu Le reacted suddenly, and his expression became serious: "Zhao Hou Yao has been on the northern expedition for three years, is it ............?"

Shi Wuju said softly, "Yes." ”

In just one word, the forest is as cold as a knife.

Xu Le thought about it, and could only roll his eyes. Fuck, that's a real load!(To be continued......)
