Because things were really weird, Xiao Han and the others moved to the front of the city gate almost step by step.

At this time, the city gate was closed, the hole in the city gate was dark, and the front of the hole was scattered with sand and gravel dust, looking like a ruined fortune, looking like a ghost town!

After carefully looking at the silent city, Xiao Han touched Xiaodong with his arm: "Go!" ”

Xiaodong had no choice but to step forward and shout: "Hey! Is there anyone in there? If you have a pant, you should come out! ”

shouted, without waiting for the people inside to agree, he rushed back behind Ren Qing a few times, leaving a pair of empty eyes to look around.

"That bastard is calling outside?"

Soon, a deep voice came from the city wall, almost startling Xiao Han, so he hurriedly looked up at the city wall.

In front of you, on the battlements of the three-story wall! A big man with a beard stretched out half of his body and was looking down, and next to him, several heads also stretched out, looking at Xiao Han and his party curiously.

When you see people, you can still talk! Xiaodong didn't feel weak now, and jumped out and shouted: "Hey! What do you do? Close the gates in broad daylight! ”

The man was probably taking a nap just now when he heard Xiaodong's shout. first rubbed his eyes sleepily, yawned heavily, and then shouted at Xiao Han and the others, "What are we doing?" I'd like to ask you guys what the bastards are doing! What is the name of the ghost in the middle of the day? Don't know that martial law is in the city? Get out of the way! If you provoke the uncle's unwillingness, go down and peel your skin! ”

The man scolded unscrupulously, and the Xiaodong people below looked at the big man with a little pity in their eyes......

Where the hell did this idiocy come from? Dare to call himself an uncle in front of a prince and a close attendant of the king of Qin? Is life impatient?

"Your uncle! Open your dog's eyes and see who this is? The man was still chattering, and the stunned people below were angry, and stood up and yelled at the city wall.

The man was stunned for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he laughed again, looked at the yin and yang below and said, "Who? Mo is not the ...... of Widow Liu next door."

Before he could say a word, the man first saw a large piece of mud flying from Ren Qing's hand.

"Ah......" accompanied by a long scream, the man ate a mouthful of mud! Even if the vomiting does not stop.

"Vomit...... Phew, Phew......"

This sudden stunned people around the man were stunned! Who would have expected that the man who was still full of spirit just now would be smashed into a dog in a blink of an eye! The soldiers beside him were stunned for a while, and then they reacted and became angry! The copy of the knife, the Zhang Gong of the bow, just wait for the man to give an order, and send the following thieves to see the Lord of Yama!

"Vomit ......" The man vomited heartbreakingly, and his throat and eyes were full of muddy smell! I almost threw up yesterday's meal!

"Boss, how are you, boss?" A soldier ran over to help the man and asked worriedly.

"! I want to, I want to... ...... vomit"

The poor man didn't let out a cruel word, turned his head and continued to vomit!

I don't know what this mud is used for, and it smells fishy! Finally, when the breath calmed down, the man realized that a small piece of brocade cloth seemed to be wrapped in the mud on the ground.

Pushing away the little soldier who was holding him, the man forcibly endured the discomfort in his stomach and picked up the brocade cloth from the mess.

"What is this? And the word? Fortunately, Lao Tzu studied for two days! Looking at this piece of brocade cloth that was obviously thrown by the people below, the man's heart moved, and he was not in a hurry to take revenge now, and pointed the small words on the brocade cloth with his carrot-thick fingers and read slowly: "This word...... I don't know, I don't know...... Eh, these realizations: The fate of the great can be full x Xiao X, not xx, if there is a difference x, it will not be spared!! ”

The first few words stammered, and there were a lot of people I didn't recognize, but the last four words were very clear to the man!

On the military order, these four words were written the most, and when he looked at the blood-red seal on the cloth, the man only felt dizzy......

"Lay down your arms, lay down your arms!" The man holding the brocade cloth jumped up on the city wall and shouted, and the movement was almost hoarse.

Under the city wall, the stunned man didn't react anymore, and subconsciously put the * down, but he heard the man continue to roar: "It's not you, it's us!" Bastard, put the dick down for me! I'll go find the lieutenant! Whoever dares to hurt the people outside, Lao Tzu will take off your heads and kick them as balls!! ”

After roaring, the man turned his head and ran away. There is only a bewildered soldier left on the city wall, you look at me, I look at you......

Looking at the mess on the city wall, Xiao Han gave Ren Qing a thumbs up! Then I looked left and right, found a shady place and sat down, and straightened my hair along the way. This makes it the same as the golden lion king, and it is no wonder that he is regarded as a homeless bandit.

The waiting time is boring, and there are no outsiders around, and the soldiers on the city wall are now looking at Xiao Han and them like monsters. Xiaodong shouted several times, but those people just shook their heads and didn't say anything.

The weather in Hanzhong is much hotter than in Chang'an, and I still wear a robe in the Qinling Mountains, so it's a little too hot here. And there are mosquitoes and flies lingering around in the daytime, which makes people more and more irritable.

I don't know how long I waited, but there was another commotion on the quiet city wall. A few panting old men climbed to the city gate building and were taking a good look at Xiao Han and the others below.

A thin old man who was surrounded in the middle shouted loudly: "The one below is Xiao Han and Marquis Xiao??? ”

Hearing the shout, Xiao Han got up from the ground, his face was not very good-looking.

"I'm Xiao Han! Why, do you really think we are robbers, and the door won't be opened? ”

When the thin old man on the city tower heard this, he immediately gave up his hand again and again, and shouted with a bitter face: "In Xia Yuan Dake, I have seen Marquis Xiao!" Forgive the official for not being able to greet the marquis in person......"

"Hehe, it's strange enough along the way, is there any demon and monster in Hanzhong City that you don't even dare to open the city gate in broad daylight?" Xiao Han laughed angrily, since he came to the realm of Hanzhong, it seems that everything is a little abnormal!

When Yuan Dake heard that Xiao Han was really angry, the sweat on his face couldn't stop flowing down, and he spoke with a trill: "Master Hou!" Tell the truth! This Hanzhong City has been closed since a few days ago! The lower officials did not let Hou Ye enter the city, it was for Hou Ye's sake! ”

"Closed city?" Hearing these two words, Ren Qing, who had been silent beside Xiao Han, suddenly stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Why is the city closed?!" ”

Yuan Dake laughed miserably and shouted to the below: "Don't hide it, since a few days ago, there was a plague in Hanzhong City!" In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city now......"

"What? Pestilence! ”

When Xiao Han and the others heard this name, they took a few steps back almost at the same time, and their faces were full of horror! No matter in modern and ancient times, plague is almost synonymous with death, and its severity makes Xiao Han shudder!

"There is a plague, why don't you report Chang'an!"

"The messenger departed five days ago! It should be almost Chang'an now! ”
