As soon as the Western Guo was defeated, Nan Zheng became in danger. News came to Xindu and the Shu court was in great shock.

What Du Lu and those ministers fear most was not the Qin army going to Xiguo to capture Nanzheng. After all, even if Nanzheng was captured by Qin, the Qin army would have to enter the Nan'an Road along the side of the Jialing River. The plank road in the river was very dangerous and far from being "one man is the pass and ten thousand men are not open." This battle still has to be fought. What they are really afraid of is that a tragedy similar to Xiguo will happen again. The leading party is really terrible. Even the most experienced generals will feel that they cannot be guarded when facing these people.

So a great purge of merchants began to begin in Xindu. Shu officials are now investigating merchants one by one. Anyone who had business dealing with the Bai family, even if they had bought dozens of ducts of grain and rice from the Bai family, they were listed on the blacklist without exception. Now, everyone in Shu business is in danger. Bai family business club has been operating in Shu for several years. Which one dares to say that it has no connection with the Bai family? In the face of danger, either bribe officials to protect themselves, or simply escape from the city to be a farmer who is a serious farmer. Some people have a fierce temperament and even lead their family members and wanderers to fight fiercely with the Shu court. Poor Qin army is still 108,000 miles away from Xindu. The sword blades of the Shu people are stained with countless blood of their own people. The economy in Shu was temporarily sluggish, and there were signs of collapse.

Shu Kingdom is now suffering from internal and external troubles, but Du Lu made an extremely stupid mistake and ordered the troops of Sanguan to return to the south! He voluntarily gave up the first majestic pass north of Nanzheng. After Sanguan was lost, Nanzheng, which was flat, could not compete with Sun Bin's army at all. In less than two months, a letter of eagle flew from Nanzheng to Baoxi Road and Liyang. Qin finally recovered the hometown of Nanzheng in ninety years. Yingquliang could already hold a banquet to celebrate.

At this time, Bai Zi, the hero who is known as the world's number one genius, was bent down and raised his head and walked carefully. There was no way. The Linjiang Plank Road in Baoxi Road was too narrow and dangerous. Even if he was guarded by two masters, Fan Bo and Li Di, he would not dare to be careless at all.

At this moment, there is a high cliff wall on the left of Baidong. The twelves are coiled on it, winding like dragons, and there are slight saliva traces of dragons and snakes crawling through it. This is nothing. On the road, I also encountered several colorful poisonous insects attacked, all of which were killed by Fan Bo and Li Di. What is really scary is on the right. I turned my head slightly and looked down to the right. The plank road was so narrow that it could cover it with two feet. I could only see the slanting river water rushing below. The river water was rolling and thundering, and there were countless undercurrents and waves. Not to mention people, it was just a smaller boat.

If you go, you will probably have to be crushed. This place is not a plank road in a tourist area in later generations. Although it seems dangerous, it is actually a special worker repairs and replaces every few months and half a year. This plank road is said to have been formed since the time of Xia Yu. I wonder how many years have passed since the latest renovation. Now it has been abandoned a lot. It also requires Gongshu and Mo family disciples to act as archers and repair them to get pedestrians. Even the most aptly ox and horse that have arrived at this plank road must be dismantled and carried by manpower.

It would be fine if it was just a difficult walk, but as long as you step on some positions on the plank road, you would make a squeaking sound. The Gongshu and the children of the Mo family were fearless, but Bai Dong was shocked. There were a few times that he really felt that he could not survive and wanted to jump down. He just complained secretly. If he had known that he would be a big-headed ghost, wouldn't it be better to let Xiao Yingsi come to collect this Shuzhong in the future! He was sweating all over, but Li Di slapped him hard behind him. When he turned around and glared at Li Di, he almost cried.

"What? The dignified Xijun Baizi would be afraid that this plank road would not work?"

Li Di laughed, making Bai Dong feel that his slap was clearly intentional: "If you walk with your lower waist and tilt your head, you will not be able to straighten your waist when you walk out of the plank road, so don't be afraid. You can walk as you usually do whatever you want now. With me and Bo Fan here, you will still fall? Don't stare at it, look at this flying book that was sent urgently, but it is not your Senior Brother Sun, but Zhao Liang."

"Zhao Liang?"

Bai Dong took Feishu and said happily: "Good guy, it really didn't disappoint me." Whether Baoxie secretly transported troops, Sun Bin successfully charged the homeland of Nanzheng, all for the purpose of attacking Shu. At this time, Ziwu Valley has not yet risen. If you want to enter Shu, except for going around the dangerous and difficult Nangong Road, which was set up by the Shu army, you can only rely on the legendary Shiniu Road. But this legend is a legend after all. It is hard to say whether Zhao Liang can find the entrance to the Shiniu Road with the assistance of Baguo. Now seeing the message from Zhao Liang, a big stone fell in his heart.

"Interesting, I want to see how the King of Shu hides the entrance to the secret path. Zhao Liang came in time. We will leave the Xiegu in half a day. According to your previous arrangement, I will select ten capable masters with Bo Fan and I will meet with Zhao Liang first. After you rectify the army, you can run the army straight into the secret path." Li Di couldn't help laughing. He entered the Xiegu and went out of Baogu, but he didn't encounter half of the enemy. He was about to get sick. Now he finally had the chance to kill the enemy. How could he not be excited?

"It will be hard for brothers to do so. There is no way for the past. You need to cross mountains and ridges, travel around barren land, and take a big circle to meet with Zhao Liang and plan to seize the entrance of the secret road. I am afraid that there will be a lot of fighting. But I can't help Bo Fan and his brother, and everything depends on two of you." Bai Dong was not relieved. As long as he got a little in Shu, Qin would really prosper. In the future, the authority in China will become more sage. Even if he has to do his best to deal with the West, he will have no worries. It can be said that it is the most important step in his overall plan.

***

Zhao Liang took a few deep breaths and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was obviously winter weather, but he was sweating all over his body, and an unknown fire seemed to ignite his chest, so hot that he wanted to take off his whole body.

After walking nearly a hundred miles of mountain road, not to mention a scholar like Zhao Liang, who is not diligent in four bodies, even a trained soldier must drink a pot, let alone how can this person walk? Under the leadership of the Zhu Kingdom's guide, he has crossed 15 or 6 mountains for several days. He often traveled for half a day and even a safe and flat camp site is difficult to find. No wonder King Ba and King Zhu refused to accompany him. Now these two guys must be drinking and having fun in Zhudu? Who has to shoulder the heavy responsibility? After finding the entrance to the secret road, he still has to contact the Qin masters who came to help. This chore is unavoidable.

"Sir, our previous judgment should be correct. The trees and vines are piled up under Shijiling. However, after the rain yesterday, the sun was fierce, but no miasma rose. Although it is winter now, it is a bit abnormal. It can be seen that someone below must clean the fallen leaves and accumulate fruits all year round. If not, how could there not be a poisonous miasma?"

The person who spoke to Zhao Liang was only four feet tall. If he was in China, he would be a weak dwarf. He was wrapped in a white cloth scarf on his head, his mouth and nose were covered with white cloth like Zhao Liang. He was half a leather armor from his right shoulder to his waist, and a strange weapon like a sword and a dagger hung around his waist. His speech was muffled, but his Chinese language was very fluent. Zhao Liang was sweating profusely now, and more than a dozen other people dressed like this person were sweating slightly, but his face was as normal as he did and his breathing was not heavy at all. He was obviously a great master.

"Will the entrance to the secret road be here?"

Zhao Liang is now a little anxious. Half a month ago, Tu Teng, the best master of Zhu Kingdom, said that the place where the Zhu Shu forces intersected must be the entrance to the secret road. They searched all the way, and they encountered several groups of mysterious soldiers. These soldiers all had a Shu accent and lived in the nearby cave secret rooms that had been operated for many years. After Tu Teng killed them, he picked up their residence and found that everything they needed was ready for daily life. Most of them were the people who were sent by Shu Kingdom to guard the entrance to the secret road. However, in the past half month, he searched within 30 miles, but he never found any of them. He had already sent a letter to Bai Dong to report the good news early. If he couldn't find it now, he would leave a bad impression of "not doing things intimately". I think it was a big blame for walking in the mountains and valleys during this period, and his temperament became much more impatient, and he had no sense of calmness in the past.

"Within a radius of thirty miles, the only place here looks like the secret path, and it is extremely hidden, and it is basically settled. I don't know how many guard masters are hidden under the vines of the tree ridge. If I missed a single blow, I am afraid that the Shu people will destroy this secret path, and then the way for your country to march will be cut off."

Tuteng is not only a strong martial arts master, but also has a very meticulous mind. He asked his subordinates and Zhao Liang to retreat, and found a cave that was hidden enough. He continued: "There are many strange swords in Shu. If those people are here, I will not be able to defeat them. Now I can only hope that King Ba will send his masters to come or wait for the masters of your country to come." It is not easy to pass here, and it is the sphere of influence of Shu. It is impossible for other countries to attack, so Shu people must use masters to protect them. The Shu people I encountered in the previous few times They were all first-class swordsmen and were getting stronger and stronger. If Tu Teng had not been here, they would have been killed by the Shu people before Zhao Liang found the secret passage. Tu Teng had circulated around Bashu in his early years, and he had no knowledge of any masters. He was afraid that he would meet the legendary Shu masters. If they were really those people, he might be able to escape calmly. It would be hard to say that his subordinates and Zhao Liang were the distinguished guest of King Zhu. This Mr. Zhao was a guest of King Zhu, and he was not afraid to be careless about the diplomatic relations between Zhu and Qin.

"I flew a book to send a message half a month ago, but I don't know when the masters sent by Baizi will arrive. Why don't we wait here?" Zhao Liang also saw Tudou when the fierce battle with those Shu masters. These people were not comparable to ordinary soldiers. The methods of killing were really terrible. He was also a gentleman who cherished his body. He would not take risks if he could rest.

"Half a month ago?" If we count from Baogu, it will be nearly two hundred miles away here, and there is no real road access. We have to cross the mountains and open up feasible ways on our own. Even if I do, it will be difficult for me to come within fifteen days. We may have to wait here for a few more days. Mr. Zhao will sit leniently and wait for me to catch some prey to fill my hunger."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone laughing above the cave and said, "Are you the number one master of Zhu Kingdom Tu Tu? It's such a big tone."

Tu Teng's face changed drastically: "Who!" He was originally a butcher who killed dogs. After he became famous in Bashu, few people dared to call out the names of his past in front of him. Could this person be impatient? (To be continued...)
