Qingmu Territory can only be regarded as a small and remote place in the Daowu world. Although they are adjacent to the Thirteen Islands overseas and can do some shipping business, most of their business is done with the Thirteen Islands overseas. It is impossible for them to reach far away, because shipping is the lifeblood of the Thirteen Overseas Islands, so they have always been firmly in their own hands and do not allow others to easily get involved, even if the Aoki leader wants to do shipping It is also impossible to do business. That will cause a strong backlash from the thirteen overseas islands. Then the two sides will fight. And the strength of the thirteen overseas islands may not be worse than that of the Aoki leader, so the Aoki leader is not Dare to do shipping business.

There is no way to expand overseas, and there is no way to expand on land. In this case, the Aoki Territory has almost no room for development. There are three territories with the Aoki Territory, and the two territories are the same as the Aoki Territory. , they are also coastal territories. The area of ​​these two territories is similar to that of Aoki Territory, and the situation is similar to that of Aoki Territory. It is even worse than Aoki Wood Territory, because Aoki Wood Territory is the closest to the Thirteen Overseas Islands and can also do some shipping business. The other two territories are far away from the Thirteen Islands overseas. If they want to do shipping business, it is not as convenient as the Aoki Territory, so those two territories are also even poorer.

Of course, Zhao Hai's goal is not the other two territories, but the third territory adjacent to the Qingmu Territory. The territory of this territory extends to the hinterland of the Daowu Realm, and its land-like area is larger than the Qingmu Territory. The territory is large, and of course it is more prosperous. Zhao Hai's goal is this territory, which is called Qingshi Territory.

There is only one word difference between Qingmu collar and Qingmu collar, but the difference is very far. Qingmu collar is relatively close to the sea and mostly hilly land, but it is different in Qingshi collar. Between Bluestone collar and Qingmu collar, there is a big mountain. This big mountain is called Daqingshan. This big green mountain produces a kind of bluestone. This kind of bluestone is very hard and is a high-quality stone for construction. Most of this bluestone is produced from the side of the bluestone collar, and the bluestone collar. Hence its name.

In addition to the big green mountains, the land in the Bluestone Territory is mostly plains. The land is very fertile, so it is relatively richer. The current lord family of the Bluestone Territory is the He family, and the He family is the Bluestone Territory. The largest family, in fact, the situation in the Bluestone Territory is similar to that in the Qingmu Territory. Although the He family is the largest family in the Bluestone Territory, the Bluestone Territory is also divided into various counties, and those counties are also controlled by some small families. In other words, in the Daowu world, there is no territory at all. A centralized system has been formed. They are all alliances. A territory is considered a big alliance. It is as simple as that.

The boundary between Qingmu Territory and Bluestone Territory is bounded by Daqing Mountain. There are several mountain passes in Daqing Mountain, and there is a fortress on each mountain path. Of course, these mountain paths are not very big, and the real main passages are It is a canyon called Songfeng Gorge.

At the southern exit of Songfeng Gorge, there is a fortress built by Qingmu Ling, while at the northern exit of Songfeng Gorge, there is a fortress built by Qingshi Ling. These two fortresses, from Songfeng Gorge to here They have been confronting each other. According to legend, a war broke out between the two sides more than a hundred years ago. Finally, the two sides decided that with Daqing Mountain as the boundary, Songfeng Gorge is the only channel in Daqing Mountain that can penetrate the entire mountain. , both sides will naturally send heavy troops to guard it.

The Qingmu Territory has a hundred thousand troops stationed here all year round, and these one hundred thousand troops are all drawn from each territory. This army is rotated every five years, but the total number will not change, and this fortress The Rong family generally won't move the army here, because once the army here is moved, the people from the Qingshi Territory may rush directly into the Qingmu Territory, and the entire Qingmu Territory will be destroyed, so this fortress The army's status in Qingmu Territory is still very high.

However, the situation has improved somewhat in recent years. The two sides have not fought for many years, and trade has been open for many years, so the situation here is not so tense now. Because of this, although the troops here in Songfeng Fortress still have There are as many as one hundred thousand, but it is inevitable to slack off in training.

Songfeng Fortress is the name of the fortress on this side of the Qingmu Territory, while the fortress on the other side of the Bluestone Territory is called Songfeng Fort, just to make a distinction. This Songfeng Fortress happens to be blocking the Songfeng Gorge, and it is built almost the same as the two sides. It is as high as a mountain, reaching a height of about twenty feet. The entire city is made of large bluestones, and its length reaches ten miles. There are as many as eight city gates alone.

There are many merchants passing through Songfeng Fortress every day. The length of the entire Songfeng Gorge is only about thirty miles, so no one stays in Songfeng Gorge. They usually stay in the city outside the fortress on both sides. rest. Originally this was not allowed, but since the two sides had not fought for many years, no one cared about it anymore.

On this day, the defenders here at Songfeng Fortress were as usual. An hour after dawn, the eight gates of the fortress were opened. The caravans who had been waiting outside the doors began to come in and out. It was very lively. This went on for about two hours, and the soldiers guarding the fortress gate were standing there bored. If there hadn't been a strict order from above that they were not allowed to leave, they would have left long ago. Even if there was a strict order, they would have left. Feeling very bored.

At this moment, the caravans that were about to enter the fortress suddenly became chaotic outside the fortress, and no one ran into the fortress like a headless chicken. This made the soldiers alert at once, and they immediately looked around. After taking a glance, their eyes suddenly widened, and they saw a giant elephant slowly walking towards the fortress.

This giant elephant is really too tall. It seems to be more than three feet tall. It is very huge. Every step seems to make the earth tremble. When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw the giant elephant, they were all stunned. They really didn't know what to do. At this moment, a harsh whistle suddenly sounded. Only then did the soldiers react. They immediately ran towards the city, shouting loudly as they ran towards the city. : "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly."

They have been in peace here for a long time and have seen such a huge elephant there, so they reacted like this. Soon, all eight gates on the fortress were closed. The people on the fortress looked nervously at the giant elephant outside the city. After a while, several generals wearing armor also appeared on the city wall. Everyone looked nervously at the giant elephant outside.

The giant elephant slowly came outside the city and stopped about thirty feet away from the city wall. Only then did the people on the city see clearly that there were two people sitting on the back of the giant elephant, a man and a woman. The man sat there with a calm face, eyes still closed, and the woman knelt and sat next to the man. Although she was wearing a palace dress, she looked like a maid.

The general on the city glanced at the people outside the city and said loudly: "Who are you? Why do you come to our Songfeng Fortress?" When the general saw the man, he didn't seem to have any intention of using force, so he asked like this, He believed that if the other party really wanted to use force, even if it had been done long ago, they would not wait until now.

At this time, the general on the city heard the woman sitting on the back of the elephant say: "People on the city, listen, my young master is the elder Qingmu Leader. He traveled around the world under the orders of the lord, and now he is going to Qingshi Leader." , General, please let me go." The voice didn't seem to be very loud, but it reached the ears of the general on the city clearly. When the general heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but be stunned, but at the same time, his face also changed slightly, because The woman's showing of her hand was enough to show their strength. Such strength was not something he could deal with, which was why his face looked so ugly.

But the general also understood what the woman meant. When he heard the other party's identity, he was really stunned. He also knew something about the situation in Qingshi City. He didn't seem to remember that there was such a person in Qingshi City. You must be an elder, guest minister, but when the other party said this, he couldn't be negligent, so he immediately said: "Do you have any proof?"

"Here is the customs clearance document and the status gold medal. General, please take a look." The woman's voice came again and again. When he heard the woman say this, the general was relieved, but he still waved his hand, and people around him immediately Someone put down a basket with a long rope attached to it and slowly entered it under the city wall.

When the woman saw this situation, she couldn't help but snorted, and then she didn't see any movement. She just flashed a few times, and she was already under the city wall. Then she put the two things in the basket, and then she His figure flashed again, and he was back on the back of the giant elephant.

When the general saw the woman's actions, he did not dare to neglect. He immediately waved his hand, and his men immediately lifted the basket up. The general took out a gold medal and the customs clearance document from the basket, and carefully After looking at Zhao Hai, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Open the city gate." All his men also breathed a sigh of relief, and then someone immediately ran to open the city gate. .

Then all eight city gates were opened, and the soldiers in the city were all lined up on both sides of the city gate, holding weapons in their hands. At this time, Zhao Hai and Xiang Xiong also walked towards the city gate. They had not yet reached the city gate. At the gate, several war horses from the city rushed out. The leader was a general who looked to be about fifty years old. The general sat on the horse and came to Xiang Xiong. He stopped the horse and held it in his hands. Holding the status gold medal and the customs clearance document, he raised his head and said loudly: "Yu Fengyang has met the elder. I was rude just now. Please forgive me."

Just as Yu Fengyang finished speaking, he felt a lightness in his hand. The next moment, the customs clearance document and the identity gold medal had disappeared from his hand. He could feel that the other party did not get off the elephant's back. It just uses special force to suck things up.

Then Yu Fengyang heard a voice saying: "General Yu, you're welcome. This is your duty. How could it be rude? But I just want to go to the Bluestone Leader today, so I won't disturb the general." , General, there is no need to waste a lot of time, we will leave immediately. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me, General." This time it was Zhao Hai who spoke.
