The interior of Baishui Pass was more rudimentary than expected, except for the wall used for defense, there was only a low barracks.

There was no one else in it except for more than a thousand garrisons, which made the whole pass look extremely lonely and monotonous.

Especially at night, in addition to the sound of fighting, only the whirring mountain wind echoes outside, and at most a ray of moonlight is thrown in from the window, which is regarded as a trace of comfort and companionship.

However, Sun Ning, who lived in a barracks at this time, did not feel lonely, because there was still Shen Zhou in front of him who had been reunited for a long time, even if he could only replace wine with water, the two also talked happily.

"How did you get here?"

After a little greeting, Sun Ning asked this sentence again.

Yes, Sichuan and Shu are thousands of miles away from Nanyang, and Shen Zhou is still living in Baishui Pass, as if he really guessed that Sun Ning would enter Shu from this and deliberately waited here.

"Don't hide it from your lord, I'm really here to wait for you."

Shen Zhou's answer made Sun Ning even more surprised: "How do you know that I will enter Shu from this?" ”

"This is just a little conjecture, but I don't dare to confirm which direction the lord will take and what road to enter Shu, so I am waiting here at Baishui Pass, and a few others are waiting on the other two roads."

"Huh? Is there anyone else waiting for me as well? Who is it? ”

"Young Master Guo Chong, General Yan Hu, General Chen Qingyun......"

The names reported by Shen Zhou made Sun Ning's eyebrows even more raised, but he didn't expect that a few of them would get together, and they also ran thousands of miles to Sichuan and Shu just to wait to meet him.

Then he waved his hand again: "Wait, you start from the beginning, I'm a little confused, how did you get together, and you decided to come to Sichuan and Shu to find me?" ”

Shen Zhou was also prepared, and at this time, he didn't go around in circles, and truthfully explained their previous situation in detail.

It turned out that when Sun Ning noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly got out of Liangzhou, the Zonghenghui had already hit Nanyang's side.

After all, it is an important granary of Da Viet, and the geographical location is also extremely critical, so the ambition of the Zonghenghui must be firmly controlled in its own hands. And they decided that Sun Ning, the emperor, had become a puppet in his hands, and it would be easier to take Nanyang in his name.

In fact, after a few contacts, they pocketed many people in the Nanyang garrison, especially those bandits who came out of the mountain village, and they quickly fell in front of interests.

In this regard, even if Shen Zhou and the others had questions, they were helpless. After all, people are powerful, even if they use strong ones, they can capture Nanyang. Now that the interior has been divided, it is even more impossible to defend it.

But at this moment, Guo Chong suddenly entered Nanyang in disguise, secretly met with Shen Zhou and Chen Qingyun, and told them about Sun Ning's escape.

Guo Chong suddenly came to Nanyang to protect himself.

In the previous Liangzhou Change, he was completely on Sun Ning's side, but now that the military power of Liangzhou has fallen back into the hands of Guo Yan and Guo Han and others, his fate will be very bad.

If Sun Ning is still there, the people of the Zonghenghui may still be restrained in the relationship between the two, but Sun Ning's escape, Guo Chong will really become the target of public criticism.

Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly enough to escape decisively and leave Liangzhou before the other party attacked.

Guo Chong is also a smart person, knowing that he still has no way out to flee like this, so he thought that Sun Ning still had a force in Nanyang, so he decisively looked for it, and actually caught up with the Zonghenghui to annex Nanyang.

After knowing all the situations in Liangzhou, Shen Zhou and the others did not want to seek skin with the tiger anymore, so they took some loyal soldiers and horses to leave Nanyang before the other party launched, and went all the way south to find Sun Ning's whereabouts.

However, after Sun Ning escaped from Liangzhou, in order to prevent being chased and killed by the Zongheng Society, he was incognito all the way, and it was indeed better to hide alone, plus the time had passed for a long time, and they naturally had no gain along the way.

When Sun Ning heard him say this, his expression was also ashamed: "It's because I didn't think about it, I knew that after leaving Liangzhou that day, I should go back to Nanyang." ”

"The lord's choice is actually correct, if you really go back to Nanyang, I'm afraid you will send the sheep into the tiger's mouth. Thinking about it carefully, there were a lot of Liangzhou soldiers in Nanyang at that time, and we always thought that the Guo family had transferred the soldiers in order to increase the pressure on us, but later it occurred to us that these horses were sent to find the whereabouts of the lord. ”

Sun Ning nodded: "That's right, it's a lot, you haven't told me why you came to Sichuan and Shu, and it's decided that I will enter Shu in the near future." ”

"This is going to mean that I waited all the way to follow the footsteps of the lord to the south, and then I heard in the Ruzhou area that there was a young man named Sun Changan who made decisions for the people and eradicated the local corrupt officials. After that, I heard that something similar happened in Suizhou......

"With such a reputation, and the fact that he is specially made an enemy of the people of the Zongheng Society, I really can't think of anyone other than the lord who can do such a great thing.

"And, judging by the direction you've been traveling, it seems to be heading southwest. Naturally, I thought of the strategy that I had proposed before for the Lord and based on entering Sichuan and Shu, thinking that you might be coming to Sichuan and Shu.

"Since you have been following all the way behind, it is better to go directly to Shu, so that you can always meet.

"And God really didn't let me down and waited for a lot of painstaking work, although we arrived two days earlier than you, but in the end we waited for the lord here!"

After listening to this story, Sun Ning also sighed with emotion.

I really didn't expect them to be so loyal, and they really didn't hesitate to run all the way from the Central Plains to the southwest, just to return to their command.

"Thank you for your hard work...... In the end, thousands of words converged into such a sentence, and patted the back of the other party's hand vigorously.

"As long as the lord doesn't give up, what is the point for me to wait for this little road?" Shen Zhou said again, "By the way, my lord, in fact, it is also some benefit for us to come here one step ahead of you, at least let us clearly understand the attitude of the Dingxi Hou Xiao clan towards you, they are still loyal to the Dayue Imperial Court." ”

Sun Ning was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood.

Shen Zhou can wait for himself here at Baishui Pass, that is, he has the approval of the Xiao family, and this is enough to show that their attitude is indeed on their side, and they are willing to recognize themselves as kings.

However, this obviously disrupted Sun Ning's original plan.

He originally planned to enter Shu first secretly as a Jianghu person to fight the Tang Sect, so that the enemy was more active. But now that his identity has been exposed as soon as he arrives at Baishuiguan, he can no longer act according to the original plan.

"So they already know I'm going to be in Shu? Maybe the news has been passed on by the defenders of the Guannai now? Sun Ning asked the other party again.

Shen Zhou nodded: "Exactly, maybe in two days, the Marquis of Dingxi will personally come to welcome the lord into Shu." ”

This made Sun Ning's brows wrinkle even tighter, and things ended a little badly.
