Baima Town is a small town 200 miles north of Hanzhong, and it is also a necessary place to enter Shu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although this town is on the main road, but in ordinary times, the foot merchants and dart teams prefer to settle in Wuyang City, which is only dozens of miles away, so this town road is rarely visited.

But at this moment, the town of White Horse is full of people, countless soldiers wearing Great Wei armor are patrolling back and forth in the town, and the defenders at the head of the city are also dense, day and night, looking south.

At this moment, it was drizzling in Whitehorse, and the raindrops were beating on the yellowed dirt of Whitehorse, piling up water in the potholes, and then being trampled by pedestrians, and finally turning into mud.

In the midst of such a drizzle, a tourist was welcomed at a teahouse in the town.

The figure of the visitor was a little thin, with a hat, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the sword case and long knife on his back were particularly blinking.

When the owner of the teahouse saw the guests, he hurriedly greeted them with a warm face.

"What do you want to drink?" The boss was a man in his forties, dressed in ordinary linen clothes and with a mustache, and his appearance was not unusual.

This livelihood, passed down from his ancestors, has been nearly 200 years now, in terms of pomp and decoration, in this White Horse Town is also one of the best, it stands to reason that there will never be a guest, he needs to greet in person.

But these days are not peaceful, and the court does not know what to think, so it has brought a dense army to hoard here.

Although the officers were tight-lipped about the reason for their coming. However, rumors about a war with Xishu have spread among the people. People who smell these strange things naturally find another way to make a living, and if they can go to their relatives, they go to their relatives.

Otherwise, once the war starts, no matter who wins or loses, it will be the common people who will be injured in the end.

Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer.

This is the same thing in ancient times.

His original two buddies did not leave White Horse Town, but took advantage of their youth and some skills, but instead joined the garrison of White Horse Town, and the Great Wei God became two patrol soldiers under the account of the Great Wei God General Manhong.

This person has his own ambitions, so naturally he can't ask for it.

In addition, there were fewer people in the town, and there were naturally fewer people drinking tea, so he had no intention of inviting any more people, so he went down the entire teahouse.

"Clear water is sufficient. The visitor said.

It doesn't seem to be very old to listen to the voice.

The boss was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face was also stagnant.

He glanced at his lips secretly, and finally waited for a guest, but all he needed was clear water. But he still said politely: "Okay, the guest officer will sit down for a while, and I will take it." ”

The visitor bowed his head and sat down at the nearest pair of chairs outside the house.

He set aside the hat on his head and brushed the water in front of his hair. When he looked up at the drizzle outside, he finally revealed his face buried under the hat.

He was a young man, but seventeen or eighteen years old, and he couldn't say how handsome he looked, but he was better than clean, especially his eyes, which were like spotless green spring water.

This person is Su Changan.

He watched the spring rain outside the house fall down the eaves of the teahouse like a thin line, and felt a little sad in his heart.

It has been ten days since the departure from Yongning Pass, and after three or four days' footsteps, you can reach Shushan.

It's just that...

On the way here, he heard many rumors, saying that Xishu wanted to set up a new emperor, revitalize the Han family, and start another war with the imperial court.

Although he took a sword on this trip, he also wanted to try to borrow troops from Western Shu, after all, the warriors of Shu have always been known for their ability to fight truthfully and well, and Shu Mountain is a respected sect in Shu, with his consent, and even the support of Yan Guiqiu, the difficulty of Yongning Pass will be solved.

But now, if Shu and the imperial court go to war, even Su Changan can think that at that time, both sides will definitely not care about the situation in Xiliang.

Originally, Su Changan was still a little skeptical about these rumors, but when he came to this White Horse Town, he saw the soldiers coming and going in the town, and he believed in the rumors a little more.

"Hey. Thinking of this, Su Changan couldn't help but sigh lightly, a catastrophe is coming, and those in power do not think about keeping the enemy out of the country, but instead start internal strife, doesn't it put the people of the world to death?

"The water is coming!" But at this moment, the owner of the teahouse came over with a kettle, and he found that Su Changan was so young, and he couldn't help but be stunned, until Su Changan looked at him with some doubts. Only then did he come to his senses, picked up the kettle and put it in front of Su Changan.

Su Changan said thank you, then picked up the tea, poured a cup, and took a sip.

His face was still looking out of the house, in the direction of the town gate.

The avenue into Shu is heavily guarded, he has already seen it, and his special identity is still wanted by the imperial court, so he does not dare to act rashly.

Therefore, he concealed the soldiers guarding the city and jumped into the town to find out the news.

But I don't want this town to be much better than outside the town, and you can see soldiers coming and going everywhere. I wanted to find a home inn, live for a night and make plans tomorrow, although I knew that there was a drizzle, although he had cultivated, these drizzles could not cause any damage to his body, but he came in a hurry, and did not prepare the rest of the change of clothes, if it was wet, it would not be good, so he found a teahouse at random to shelter from the rain.

The boss retreated to the side, there was no one else in the store, he was bored in the store all day long, and when he saw Su Changan coming here alone, and he was so young, he couldn't help but be interested.

"Where is the little brother, what are you doing here? You must know that the town of White Horse has not been peaceful lately!"

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, he turned his head to look at the boss, and said, "Xiliang people, come here to find relatives." ”

"Xiliang?" The boss looked Su Changan up and down, and secretly felt that this outfit was quite similar to Xiliang, but he was not suspicious.

"How is Xiliang now, I heard that Yuanyun Pass has been broken by the barbarians. This boss looks like he hasn't spoken to anyone for a long time, but he is interested at the moment, and he is not polite, so he sat directly in front of Su Changan.

"The army is besieging Yongning Pass, and it seems that it is almost impossible to hold it. I also escaped with the people in town. I wanted to go to Shu to join my relatives, but I didn't want to..."As he spoke, Su Changan sighed and glanced at the direction of the city gate a little helplessly.

Seeing this, the owner of the teahouse immediately realized what Su Changan meant.

He also sighed, "Yes, you said that if the barbarians really enter the customs, then what should I do?"

"This Shu land is also, a good day, but if you have to go to war with the imperial court, the life of us ordinary people is really getting more and more difficult day by day. ”

Su Changan saw that the time was ripe, so he changed his cautious appearance and asked in a low voice.

"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, the kid is now unrelated, so he is looking forward to going to Shu to join his relatives, but seeing that this road is blocked by the army, I don't know how to deal with myself, and I ask the eldest brother to tell one or two. ”
