If you bypass Baqiu and return to Xiakou, the distance will be at least twice as farther, and it is very likely to meet Cao Bing, compared to Sun Quan, Wang Baoyu is more afraid of Cao Cao, after all, because of his own participation, Cao Cao has lost countless soldiers and horses.

Of course, if Wang Baoyu knew that Cao Cao was very eager to meet him, he would not think so.

Unknowingly, he came to the city of Baqiu, Wang Baoyu hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to take the risk of passing Guò Baqiu. According to his estimate, Sun Quan's letter may not be delivered here at this time, after all, there was no phone at that time, as long as it was fast in and out, maybe he could go back along the way.

The inference was reasonable, but Wang Baoyu didn't know that he and Fan Jinqiang seemed to have stayed on the boat for less than an hour, but in fact, three days had passed.

Gan Ning, who was stationed in Baqiu, had already received the first news from Sun Quan, that is, Wang Baoyu had run away, and if he met him, he must be stopped, and he must not be allowed to pass Guò.

For Sun Quan's arrangement, Gan Ning is really a little nerve-wracking, it is said that he has a good relationship with Wang Baoyu and Fan Jinqiang, and he can be regarded as good friends, but Sun Quan is his leader, and the orders issued cannot be disobeyed.

After struggling for a long time, Gan Ning still chose the latter, after all, he would have to eat with Sun Quan in the future, and he couldn't be infamous for being disloyal and unjust. As for these two good friends, they can fight to the death to save their lives, and they will not get acquainted in vain.

Wang Baoyu and Fan Jinqiang came to Baqiu City, and took out Sun Quan's death-free token with insufficient confidence, and the soldiers did not dare to stop them, and put the two into the city smoothly.

Wang Baoyu was secretly happy in his heart, the death-free token was really a good thing, and it could always come in handy when it was critical. Things should not be delayed, after entering the city, the city is in order, and there are no more soldiers patrolling than in the past, and it seems that everything is normal.

At the time of the meal, the aroma of food wafted out of the street, Wang Baoyu stretched out his nose and sniffed it, and felt even more hungry, but he still didn't dare to stay for a moment.

Because of a moment's delay, Sun Quan's order may arrive, so Wang Baoyu rode towards the south gate, as long as he can get out of Baqiu City, then no one can stop him.

However, when Wang Baoyu and Fan Jinqiang rode through the crossroads in the city, they saw a team of several hundred people, blocking the intersection tightly, and it seemed that they had come prepared.

A member of the generals at the head, with a copper bell around his waist and a double halberd in his hand, is majestic, and it is Ganning Ganxingba.

Wang Baoyu's heart suddenly rose a sense of foreboding, now that he wants to run another way, it is too late, Gan Ning is looking at him with blazing eyes.

Wang Baoyu stepped forward hard, Gan Ning stood on the horse, hugged his fists with a smile and said: "Baoyu Dudu, since you have come to Baqiu, why don't you go to the mansion to rest for a while?" ”

"Why is General Gan here?" Wang Baoyu asked pretending to be confused.

"Hehe, I know that the governor of Baoyu is coming, so I have been waiting here for a long time."

Wang Baoyu chuckled in his heart, and secretly guessed that Sun Quan's messengers were not riding horses, but planes, and they were fast! Wang Baoyu barely squeezed out a smile: "General Gan, I have good intentions, but I have an urgent matter at home, and I will come to you for tea when I have time!" ”

"It's not too late to go to the mansion to sit for a while, I see that the face of the governor of the king is tired, if he doesn't stop, the lord will definitely complain about poor hospitality in the future." Although Gan Ning was polite, his tone was very tough, which meant that the two of them would be detained.

Wang Baoyu couldn't help frowning slightly, but didn't say anything, Gan Ning smiled slightly, and politely bowed his hand to Fan Jinqiang: "Since General Fan is also here, it is better to go to the mansion and have a conversation with Gan." ”

"General Gan, my brother has something to do in his family, so I will not accompany him." Fan Jinqiang raised the golden hoop stick slightly, and refused unceremoniously.

Gan Ning saw that Fan Jinqiang had a hands-on posture, his face couldn't help but change, and said: "Gan and the two are also friends, don't hide it, the lord has an order, don't let the two leave, and I hope don't make Gan embarrassed." ”

Sun Quan's letter came so quickly, Wang Baoyu didn't expect it, although Fan Jinqiang's kung fu was not under Gan Ning, but in the face of so many Jiangdong soldiers, it was obviously not comparable to it. If Gan Ning entangles Fan Jinqiang, then any soldier can submit himself.

"Sun Quan's order has nothing to do with us. Gan Ning, you either let us go, or you live or die. In Fan Jinqiang's opinion, no one is more important than Wang Baoyu, he raised the golden hoop stick high, pointed at Gan Ning and said loudly.

"Since General Fan is not emotional, Gan can only accompany him to the end." Gan Ning said, and also raised his double halberd.

"Two, two! Fighting will hurt the harmony. Wang Baoyu rolled his eyes, and suddenly changed his words: "Maybe I left in a hurry and caused a little misunderstanding, so it's better to go to General Gan's mansion for a drink and talk about it." ”

"Brother! Don't be afraid of him. Fan Jinqiang shouted unconvinced.

"Big brother, listen to me!" Wang Baoyu hurriedly said.

"Please!" Gan Ning made a gesture of invitation on the horse.

Wang Baoyu reluctantly turned the horse's head, and together with Fan Jinqiang, followed Gan Ning's team and went straight to Baqiu's official residence.

Gan Ning politely invited the two into the mansion and ordered the wine and food, Wang Baoyu was already hungry, and believed that Gan Ning would not be poisoned, so he would fill his stomach first, and then he ate and drank unceremoniously.

During the banquet, Gan Ning kept toasting like a person who had nothing to do, and from time to time mentioned his past friendships, making it look like a gathering of friends.

Fan Jinqiang was always careful, and did not give Gan Ning face, his face was gloomy, no matter how enthusiastic Gan Ning was, he didn't get a drop of wine.

With a hint of regret on his face, Gan Ning asked, "Governor Baoyu, why don't you stay in Hexi?" ”

"Since you've already received the letter, why do you have to ask?" Wang Baoyu said.

"The lord has always respected you as a guest, and the army has seen it for all to see, I just don't understand, why did you flee on a rainy night?" Gan Ning asked again.

"Then I might as well tell you, I originally wanted to help General Sun lay down the Hexi, but that Cheng Pu burned Cao Bing's prisoners of war, which was too chilling. Besides, you all know that I am following Liu Bei's mix, why do I have to help Jiangdong! In the future, when it spreads, I will become a villain who steps on two boats, how can I gain a foothold? Wang Baoyu explained.

"Alas, what the veteran Cheng Pu did was indeed outrageous, but it was just a moment of confusion." Gan Ning sighed, then got up and left silently, and never came back.

Outside the Baqiu Mansion, there were already more than 1,000 soldiers around them, and it was more difficult for Wang Baoyu and Fan Jinqiang to escape than to ascend to the sky.
