After leaving Plum Blossom Village, the group traveled day and night along the waterway for another two days before they could vaguely see the border of the ancient Suzaku Kingdom in the distance.

"That's Zhuque Pass?" Lin Ruo opened the car curtain and looked at the majestic building in the distance and was a little surprised.

I saw undulating mountains in the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, and a tall city standing among the mountains.

The city wall made of bluestone like Tianzhe is about tens of feet high.There are countless forts and watchtowers erected on it, like a giant dragon winding on the ridge and extending to the horizon.

"Is this the first time Mr. Ling has come to Zhuque Pass? I was as surprised as you when I first came here."

Wang Xu, who was driving the carriage outside the car, heard the suspicious sound coming from the ring inside the car. As he replied, he immediately tightened the reins in his hands and let the carriage slow down slowly.

After rushing for a long time, they no longer need to rush as much for the rest of the journey.

......

"This is indeed my first time here."

"That's it...

Has Mr. Ling seen that city? It is the largest pass in the south of our ancient Zhuque Kingdom, Zhuque Pass.

Because Zhuque Pass is the key to the Southern Kingdom and the only way to the South, it has been attacked by the Ancient Qinglong Kingdom several times.

But in the end they were all resisted by the powerful army stationed in Guanzhong of our ancient Suzaku Kingdom. There are countless generals who have become famous in this battle over the past century! "

As Wang Xu spoke, he looked at Suzaku in the distance, his eyes bright, and his tone was extremely proud, as if he himself was the general.

"But as far as I know, few of those generals ended up with a good ending." Jun Entropy calmly responded calmly as he rode his white jade horse to the carriage.

Wang Xu frowned slightly and felt a little unhappy. He felt that the other party's words were a bit disrespectful to the generals, but after calming down, he didn't know how to refute.

After all, what the other party said is indeed the truth...

A few decades ago, the ancient Suzaku country had a strong national power and a prosperous economy. It could be called the first of the four ancient countries.

Above the court, not only is the ruler of the country wise, but the civil and military officials are also capable in large numbers, and the territory below is far wider than it is now.

However, things must be reversed at the extremes, and as time went by, the ancient Suzaku Kingdom eventually gradually declined.

The situation became even more out of control after the country's leader fell in love with a woman presented by a small border country.

He who was originally benevolent and caring for the people suddenly became ignorant and indulged in wine pools and meat forests. Not only did he continue to squander the state treasury for that woman, but he also squeezed the people for fun, just to win a smile from the beauty.

At that time, the situation in the ancient country of Zhuque was critical. Hundreds of officials were corrupt and there were invasions from other countries. The entire country was in danger.

However, every time at this time, there will always be someone who stands up to turn the tide and help the building before it collapses.

Taking advantage of the night when the king was drunk, the generals who had made great achievements in battle gave orders, and their comrades who had removed their armor and returned to the field came one after another.

That night, they were so passionate that they drank a glass of strong wine together!

That night, they braved the hardships and went to Zhuque Pass together!

That night, they sacrificed their lives and fought with blood!

That night, they went with 10 people, but only three came back...

The next day, the heads of the remaining three people were hung in the Zhuque East Palace. They were charged with treason...

Sad?Afraid?

If the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death?

........

"Commander Wang, are you okay...

I apologize to you on behalf of my young master, he is not very good at talking! "

Seeing Wang Xu in front of him with his head lowered and silent for a long time, Lingruo first rolled her eyes at Jun Entropy outside the window, and then comforted Wang Xu softly.

She was really afraid that this stupid guy would become autistic due to being attacked by her junior brother.

"Master Ling, I'm fine. What this Master Jun just said didn't mean anything. He just looked at Suzaku in front of him with concern and felt a little sad for a moment.

This was once a place that every man from the Suzaku Kingdom yearned for. Countless admirable generals had sacrificed their lives for the country here, but there was a nest of snakes and rats entrenched in it. This was really...

Speaking of this, Wang Xu looked in the direction of Zhuque Pass and shook his head without continuing, but a wry smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Commander Wang!"

Suddenly a very serious voice sounded behind him, and Wang Xu turned his head and looked directly into Feng Xia's beautiful red eyes.

“I know that the ancient country of Suzaku will indeed make people feel sad and disappointed now, but we cannot stay immersed in the sadness of the past.

I promised you that I will do my best to change this situation. When the time comes, I will definitely recapture Zhuque Pass and restore it to its former glory! "

"Miss Feng..."

Wang Xu looked at the serious-looking woman in front of him and felt a little ashamed. Who could be worthy of such a woman...

"Qing Luo will also help Ah Feng when the time comes~" Qing Luo, who was woken up next to her, rubbed her somewhat groggy eyes and then softly agreed.

Looking at this scene, Jun En's face remained calm and indifferent, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

After all, he did all this deliberately.

Having the experience of the lucky heroine, he could vaguely guess the rest of the plot.

He has no intention of directly interfering with this

Because this is the growth process that the other party needs to go through, and it is also the only way for the other party to become a real destiny heroine.

Having said that, it was unrealistic for him to watch completely from the sidelines.

After all, in his opinion, the various confusions and misunderstandings that may appear in this script are simply a waste of his time...

So he decided to observe in secret and give some small help appropriately without interfering with the other party's growth process...

......

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The group of people arrived in front of Zhuque Pass City, where several guards wearing red leather armor were checking the passers-by.One of the guards saw them approaching and quickly stopped and asked.

"I am Wang Xu, the commander of the Suzaku Guard in the capital. This time, I have brought Highness Fengxia here to take over the Suzaku Guard in Suzaku Pass under the order of the king!"

Looking at the approaching guard, Wang Xu immediately took out a token engraved with a red bird pattern from the storage space, held it in his hand and showed it to the guard.

The guard glanced at the token, looked shocked, and quickly knelt down on one knee. "Lord Commander, I was just rude!"

Wang Xu smiled slightly, stepped out of the carriage and patted the soldier to signal him to get up. "It doesn't matter. You are all good men guarding the country's borders. You don't have to be like this."

.......

The group of people then quickly walked out of the pass under the leadership of the guard and entered the Zhuque Pass City.

"This is Zhuque Pass?"

Feng Xia looked ahead and murmured.

In front of him was a very spacious road, with a lookout tower set up at intervals, and several guards standing on it constantly patrolling the surroundings.

National flags embroidered with red bird patterns were erected on both sides of the road, fluttering in the wind.There are many shops around, and it is very lively with people coming and going.

And this bustling scene extends straight forward to the North City Gate on the other side.

"Then Commander Wang, I will send you here."

"Recently, a group of traveling merchants have come to Zhuque Pass. If you have time, you can take a stroll here and see if there is anything good."

After parting ways with the guards, everyone felt particularly strange walking in the city.

On the streets nearby, there are various vendors and artists selling their own products and performances.

All kinds of strange food, beautiful clothes and exquisite crafts are scattered among them.

"It's so lively here." Feng Xia kept looking around as she spoke.

"It's true, it's more prosperous than when I first came here." Wang Xu responded from the side.

"Sir, please try this!"

Along with the urgent voice, Lingruo was seen holding something like a marshmallow and placing it in front of Jun Entropy.

"Then I'll give it a try..."

When Jun Entropy ate all the marshmallows in one gulp, his expression changed and he was a little speechless...

I couldn't help but wonder how there are salty marshmallows in this world...
