With the completion of one fortification after another, the fiefdom is developing day by day, the population, military strength, and financial resources are increasing day by day, and talented people from all walks of life have also found a place to display their ambitions, and they have poured into the four counties, making this northern frontier land richer and stronger, and it is no longer the barren land it was at the beginning.

Three years later, in the spring of the seventeenth year of Zhengde, on an official road in Yizhou in the eastern part of the Chu State, a carriage was marching in the direction of Acropolis County, and the black-faced groom in his thirties raised his whip from time to time to control the speed of the horse.

Behind the carriage, followed by four horses, there were four guards sitting on the horses, all of them were not very old, but they were only 25 or 6 years old, but they all looked energetic, introverted, and had superb martial arts.

The curtain of the carriage door opened, and a pair of young men and girls, no more than 18 or 9 years old, dressed in white, looked as handsome as jade, and had both the temperament of a literati and the demeanor of a warrior.

The girl's age is also about 18 years old, and her pretty face is stunning, but she is wearing a maid's costume, a pale yellow skirt, and a jade ring ribbon around her waist.

The black-faced groom suddenly said, "Your Highness, I can see the Acropolis County!"

The young man glanced out, and saw a city in the distance, although it was only the size of a small sesame seed in his field of vision, but he could already see its scale clearly, so he smiled slightly: "It is worthy of a county, the area of this city is much larger than that of the four counties, and even the population is five or six hundred thousand." ”

The stunning maid said: "Even if the area is large and the population is large, but when it comes to economic strength, His Highness's fief is much richer. ”

The young man couldn't help laughing, and suddenly there was a sound of music in his ears, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "Where did this music come from?"

The black-faced man raised his head and looked around, then pointed in the direction of the south and said, "Your Highness, there is a big lake there, and the sound of music comes from the painting boat on the lake. ”

The young man bowed slightly, watching the carriages around him gradually increase, and he was getting closer and closer to the Acropolis County, and his eyes were a little more expectant, not knowing if he could find his grandfather's whereabouts here.

Needless to say, this group of people is Fang Ling and others, the black-faced man is the guard commander Lu Bei, the maid is Song Ying'er, and the four guards behind the carriage are Hao Tieniu and other four people, each of whom is the elite of the guards trained by Dong Canghai and other guards, although he is young, he has good martial arts attainments, and he is also proficient in various skills such as probing intelligence and concealing identity, and his skills are comparable to ordinary imperial city guards.

As early as when he was in the palace, Fang Ling heard his mother mention his grandfather and others, and sixteen years ago because he was involved in his mother's rebellion, the whereabouts of his grandfather and his party are unknown, and there is no news so far.

In the past three years, the fiefdom has developed rapidly, and both politics, economy and public security have developed in an extremely good direction, so three years later, Fang Ling officially went to his mother's hometown Acropolis County to find the whereabouts of his grandfather and others.

Acropolis County, located in the east of Chu State, belongs to the territory of Xuzhou, and is ten days away from the Shicheng fiefdom.

Like most cities in the East, it is located in a plain area with many rivers and few mountains, and the terrain is much lower than in the north. However, the eastern land borders the kingdoms of Cai and Wu, and has been repeatedly warred in recent years, so the population fluctuates greatly.
