On the tower of the Rongyang City Gate, the winch made a dull turning sound, and two rigid ropes as straight as a dragon dragged the suspension bridge to sink slowly, until the flat suspension bridge was laid on the ground, and suddenly set off billowing smoke.

Several arrow-like figures flew down from the top of the city, and they fell in front of Lei Lijun one after another, and stood still and arched their hands: "Lei Dutong!"

Lei Lijun looked at General Han Zhiling, and saw that he had brought a few cronies to see him, and on his gray face, there were two bruised and sunken eye sockets.

Lei Lijun didn't have time to look at him more, his eyes turned to the person next to Han Zhiling, and he frowned: "General Lin, didn't I send you to Mohe City to find out the black-clothed madman who slaughtered the people? Why are you in Rongyang City!"

Lin Hua was the youngest of the four generals, no less than two years old from Qian Mofei, he was dressed in copper-colored armor, his hair was high, his heroic eyes glanced uneasily, and after exchanging glances with Han Zhiling.

The two of them didn't say a word, and their faces were terrifying.

Seeing that the two of them looked gloomy and uncertain, Lei Lijun felt bad, and hurriedly asked, "Something happened?"

Han Zhiling looked back at the city tower covered with a layer of black curtain, his eyes became more and more gloomy, and he said faintly: "We suspect that there are ghosts in Rongyang City!"

"Ah!" Before Han Zhiling's words fell, Yun Geyao had already screamed and quickly hid behind Lei Shunyun.

Lei Shunyun and An Zeqi looked at Lei Lijun at the same time, and seeing that he had a solemn face, they motioned for Han Zhiling to continue.

Han Zhiling continued: "After the disaster in Rongyang City, the wind and waves were calm for two days, but unexpectedly, people in the city disappeared one after another. These people have disappeared very strangely, almost silently, even the family members who sleep together have to wait for the night to wake up before they can find that they are gone, and they really can't see the dead or the corpses! I have sent enough people to patrol day and night, and there is no unknown person, and I can't find out the slightest clue!"

"Exactly!" Lin Hua took it and said: "Not only Rongyang City, but also Mohe City under my jurisdiction! Since Mohe City was sacked and slaughtered by black-clothed maniacs, the people of the city are panicked and do not sleep peacefully, and there are people in every household who take turns to watch the night, even if this is the case, there will be people who will disappear under my nose! As soon as I heard that Rongyang City was also like this, I immediately came to General Han to discuss this matter. ”

"Is there such a strange thing?" Lei Lijun was stunned and said in disbelief: "Send more troops to go down and garrison from house to house!"

"Thunder Dutong!" Han Zhiling grinned bitterly, "I have already sent guards from house to house, but those missing people are like evaporating from the world, they can't look at it at all, it's too evil!"

Looking at the ashes of the Rongyang City Tower in the distance, the black butterfly-like debris danced wildly in the wind, and in the silence, there was not a trace of human voice.

The sky is treacherous, the scattered remnants of snow are swirling from the head, falling into the dust and smoke and melting immediately, full of gray, the former prosperous Rongyang City, also standing in gray clothes, more and more like a ghost town.

Lei Lijun was angry, and he tightened his brows and shouted: "Even if they are ghosts, I will beat them back to the Lingdu! I don't believe in this evil, go! Go into the city!"

Lei Lijun stepped on the suspension bridge angrily and strode towards the city, followed by several people with spirit beasts.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you will find that on both sides of the widest main street of Yingcheng, all the shops are closed, but the shops are lined up, the plaques are dense, and the wine flags are displayed.

Unlike Lei Lijun's imagination, Rongyang City is not inhabited, but there are many people walking around in groups, and guards stand on both sides of the street, holding swords with expressionless faces.

Lin Hua said near Lei Lijun: "There will never be an accident during the day, so there are also some people who go to visit relatives and friends, but they can't do it at night, and strange things start to happen." ”

While leading the way in front, Han Zhiling turned his head and said, "Lei Dutong, why don't you go to the post station to discuss the long term?"

Lei Lijun looked around, the pedestrians on the street were loose, and the shops that slipped away were closed, but not far ahead, there was a place that looked very weird, there were people coming and going on that section of the road, many people came and went from a shop, Lei Lijun was surprised: "There are shops in front of you?"

Han Zhiling replied urgently: "Ahem! That tavern has been open, and the store's heart is big enough!"

Lei Lijun let out an "oh", involuntarily looked into the distance, and said, "Then let's go and see!"

A few people walked along the street to the tavern, and a wine flag with a blue background and silver edged fluttered in front of them, decorated with four snow-white characters sprinkled with foreign flowers - Xiaoyao Tavern.

In the middle of the eaves, there is also a four-character wooden plaque of "Xiaoyao Tavern", which is covered with a layer of light dust, and the handwriting is almost unclear. The wooden pillars of the light brown panel door have no trace of lacquer, but there is an endless stream of guests entering the door.

Lei Lijun was short, stepped in from the low and narrow wooden door, and saw that the inside of the tavern was still very spacious, and there were six or seven pine square tables scattered in the place, and the furnishings in the tavern were also scattered and suitable, the wooden tables and wooden chairs were old and cracked, and the road was wiped clean.

Unlike the tavern setting, each guest's table is served with a sumptuous menu of delicious food and wine.

Lei Lijun sat down and shouted, "Shop!"

Lei Shunyun and Yun Geyao had never been in this kind of place, they sat down next to a chair, stretched their necks excitedly, and looked around at all kinds of people who were drinking and eating, and a few people waited for a while before a figure came over slowly.

As soon as this man stood still at the table, he immediately aroused the alarm of Lei Lijun, and saw that this man was thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a thick and round head, a oily light oozing from his forehead, and his complexion was dark brown and almost black, and he seemed to have no trace of a pair of eyes with few whites.

The man was loosely dressed in a dark brown linen collared robe, with a pair of fluffy shoes on his feet, and his thick arms hung loosely, looking at the crowd casually.

Lei Lijun asked first: "Are you the shopkeeper?"

"Hmm. The man replied simply, glanced at the rare unicorn spirit beast around the table, and didn't say anything, just asked, "What are you eating?"

Han Zhiling stood up and said with a smile: "Old Wu, this is our Lei Dutong, we have to be entertained!"

Lao Wu also smiled, "When I enter my Xiaoyao Tavern, there are only different tastes, regardless of the threshold. If the poor order the phoenix liver and dragon marrow, I will have the upper hand liver and dragon marrow, and the rich will order the village wild chicken, and I will give him the village wild chicken. ”

"I think you're a village reckless—" Han Zhiling's face changed, and he was about to drink angrily, but Lei Lijun clapped his hands and laughed, "Interesting! It seems that we are rich, so let's serve some simple dishes, but a pot of good wine can't be saved!"

Lao Wu said "um", pulled his shoes and turned around to get busy. Seeing Lei Lijun staring at Lao Wu's back suspiciously, Han Zhiling asked with a smile: "What, Lei Dutong suspects Lao Wu?"

"It's so abnormal!" Lei Lijun said categorically: "People are panicking, he is still leisurely opening a tavern, it's hard not to let me doubt it! Maybe there is something in this tavern!" Lei Lijun stared at Lao Wu all the way, his figure flashed from the counter, walked into the back kitchen and disappeared.
