Xu is meal really made the two of them feel like confidants, and in the subsequent trip, the relationship between Sun Ning and Guo Chong really became closer.

doesn't pay attention to the identity of the monarch and minister, the two always sit in the same car, eat, drink and talk. The soldiers around the vehicle could hear the laughter all the time, making them feel that their families were going to become His Majesty's henchmen, and they would soon be promoted to knighthood.

In addition to drinking and laughing with Guo Chong, Sun Ning is more in the car with the poetic two sisters to have fun, or applaud for love, it is really happy and happy, how can there be a little bit of the king of the country, worried about the future.

In such a hurry, the trip was naturally fast, and after seven or eight days, the team finally came to the city of Liangzhou.

After Guo Chong deliberately ran to remind him, Sun Ning wiped off the remaining rouge lip prints on his face, tidied up his clothes a little, and then lifted the curtains and looked carefully towards the city not far away.

This Liangzhou City is really worthy of being one of the few major lush state cities in the Central Plains, and its scale is several times larger than Nanyang City.

The city wall alone is much higher than Nanyang City, and the city gate is enough for four or five large carriages to pass through in parallel.

The moat built around the city is more than ten zhang wide, even in this cold winter season, the river still rushes non-stop, and from time to time there are waves flying, even if you drive a boat, it is difficult to rush to the city.

Look at the suspension bridge at both ends of the river bank, it also adheres to the heroic characteristics of the city itself, it is wide and thick, and several thick iron chains connect it with the winch at the head of the city.

However, the majesty of these buildings is not enough for Sun Ning to really feel the impact, what he cares more about is the heroic posture and attitude of those Liangzhou soldiers and generals who are guarding the gate above and below the city.

Even though he was still far away, he could clearly see the javelin-like sentinels standing under the hunting banners at the head of the city.

They all clenched their swords and spears, and when they saw their own team approaching, some people were already waving their flags, and many archers were hurrying forward, ready to defend the city at any time.

This kind of vigilance and forbidden reaction, not to mention compared with the original Nanyang defenders, even after Sun Ning and Chen Qingyun worked hard to train and raise the defenders, it was far inferior.

And under the city wall, at the gate of the city, there are also hundreds of neat queues of soldiers and horses. Their eyes also looked towards their own team at this time, but because they already knew their origins, they did not show defensiveness and hostility.

However, the due news quickly reached the city gate, and soon after, a team of dozens of people, led by a tall man in a vermilion costume, hurried towards Sun Ning and their chariot and horse procession.

Sun Ning knew that this was the news that the city had already gotten the news, and Guo Yan had been waiting at the gate of the city for a long time, and he personally led the team to greet him at this time.

He didn't take Qiao anymore, and even after the car stopped steadily, he pushed the door and got out of the car, and was greeted by Guo Yan with a respectful look.

When the latter saw the emperor come out, he hurriedly took two steps forward, and immediately pushed the golden mountain to pour the jade pillar, knelt down and saluted: "Guo Yan, the minister of Liangzhou, and the officials in the city to visit His Majesty the Emperor, may Your Majesty be healthy and everything will go well!" ”

The others also bowed down in unison, and bowed to Sun Ning, who had already walked quickly to him.

Then, the Liangzhou generals at the head of the city and the city gate also bowed down, including the soldiers and horses who were accompanying Sun Ning, and they actually did the same thing.

"Mrs. Guo is exempt from etiquette, so you all get up." Although Sun Ning was secretly shocked by the other party's strong control over everyone, he still looked happy on his face and waved his hand and said.

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is guilty!"

Guo Yan did not get up according to his words, but continued to kneel on the ground and said in his mouth.

"You...... Why do you say that? Sun Ning asked in surprise.

"When His Majesty and the imperial court were in a predicament, and even Luoyang City was defeated by rebellion, it was a great sin for the minister, as an official of the imperial court, to dare not send troops to rescue him because of his concerns.

Moreover, although this minister was worried about His Majesty's safety and sent someone to Nanyang to welcome him, he did not go there in person because of all the things, which was also disrespectful, and it was not what the courtiers should do.

"So please ask Your Majesty to punish, even if the sword and axe are added, the minister will not dare to complain."

Sun Ning also looked uneasy at this time: "Guo Taishou, what are you talking about, how can I blame you for these things?"

"At that time, it was not your responsibility to fall Luoyang, and you chose to stay in Liangzhou, and it was also the most correct decision to preserve your strength. As for this time, you sent Guo Chong to pick me up, which is enough to show your sincerity, I can only be grateful, how can I have any complaints? ”

Sun Ning said, took two more steps forward, grabbed Guo Yan's arms, and tried his best to help him up.

His move made the bodies of the tall men behind Guo Yan tense, and it wasn't until he secretly waved his hand that they relaxed.

It's just that this time, Sun Ning's help actually failed to help Guo Yan up, making him suddenly stiffen: "Guo Taishou, you are ......"

"Your Majesty really doesn't blame the ministers for making their own decisions?"

"Of course, you are my loyal minister, I will only use you to reward you, how can I blame you?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Yan said and kowtowed again, and then slowly got up.

It was only at this time that Sun Ning really saw this person's appearance clearly-

I saw that he had a square face and a wide mouth, a long beard and thick eyebrows, a red and black face with a pair of bright eyes, and he was full of style, so that people did not dare to force their eyes.

Subsequently, the soldiers and officials around them also slowly got up, obviously they all looked forward to Guo Taishou and the horse, and the weight of Sun Ning, the emperor, in their hearts was almost zero.

"Your Majesty, let's go into the city. The minister has already prepared a banquet for you in the palace specially arranged for His Majesty. Guo Yan said half for instructions, half for his own decision.

"In this case, please ask Guo Taishou to lead the way." Sun Ning smiled and nodded, and then returned to the carriage.

As a result, the team started again, slowly moved forward, crossed the suspension bridge, and passed through the city gate hole nearly ten zhang deep, before really entering Liangzhou City.
