After coming to the wall, Pang Tong untied the rope tied to his body, and faced the bare earth under the vast winter sun with Dian Wei and Zhang Ren. Dian Wei carried a large black package, he pointed back with his thumb, and said, "There is only a five-day amount." ”

Pang Tong said: "Let's go, go to the nearest town." ”

They walked on foot, and at noon they were surrounded by desolate mounds. In the afternoon, I found a stream in a mountain forest area, drank water, caught a few fish, and ate my stomach. In the evening, I went to sleep in a dense forest.

It was only on the third day that the difficult road began to take off, and a village unfolded before our eyes. At noon, the three of them bought some dry food in the village. Since there was only one horse in the village to pull goods, Pang Tong did not spend money to buy it. After all, this is the living animal of the village. But the villagers told them that there was a small town to the south.

It took about half a day's road to Cuiting Town at dusk. After entering the town, they first found an inn, and the three of them ordered some wine and food. There were six tables inside, and only two tables were occupied.

I could only hear the nearest table, where three men were drinking and shouting.

One person carried a wine jug and said, "Something happened in Anding City!" The doors were shut. The people who escaped there said that there was a plague in it, and many people were killed. ”

Another person responded: "It's said that it's cannibalism." ”

It seems that the matter of Anding the county town has spread. The three of them chattered, Pang Tong felt upset, and stayed in the inn after eating early. The next day, they bought three horses in town and galloped all the way. Two days later, they arrived at Chencang County. I saw that the north gate was wide open, and the flow of people was continuous, apparently not subject to any military threat.

Pang Tong rode in, and the gatekeeper was going to ask questions, but he saw that Pang Tong was familiar. Immediately someone shouted, "Get out!" It's a huge person! The three horsemen galloped and came to Zang Ba's mansion, and when the guards saw Pang Tong, they immediately reported back. Pang Tong dismounted and took Dian Wei and Zhang Ren inside. Zang Ba hurriedly greeted him in a green robe, and saw Pang Tong arching his hand and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Pang Tong frowned and said, "No one has come to report the matter of Anding County?" Zang Ba shook his head suspiciously, but there was a feeling of unease in his heart.

Pang Tong thought to himself that the soldier seemed to be slower than them, what a fool. However, Zang Ba's face in front of him was a little blue, and he could see through it at a glance. He said, "What's going on lately?" ”

Zang Ba saw Pang Tong behind him at this moment, and the man next to Dian Wei seemed a little familiar. Zhang Ren arched his hand and said: "In the next Zhang Ren, he was a general of Yan Yan. Zang Ba was terrified. It seems that this man is associated with something unsettling.

Seeing that he was nervous, Zhang Ren continued: "I am not under anyone's control now, and I have some things to do with a huge number of people here. But are you a little ugly? ”

Pang Tong said: "Lao Tzu is tired to death. One sentence broke the deadlock, entered the hall, and entered the upper seat. Zang Ba hurriedly ordered the attendants to bring fruits and pastries. Dian Wei and Zhang Ren were seated on the left. The trio were obviously hungry and had eaten quite a bit. After Pang Tong was full, he casually asked Zang Ba, who had been standing on one side: "What about Yan Yan's 100,000 army?" ”

Zang Ba's face tightened, as if he had something he couldn't say. And that Zhang Ren also put down the water glass and stabbed him with questioning eyes.

"What's wrong?" Pang Tong's voice was full of doubts.

"The last will be damned!" Zang Ba fell to his knees.

Pang Tong grinned in surprise, but his eyes glanced at Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren stared coldly at the seemingly humble man on the ground, and his gaze revealed hatred.

Pang Tong said: "What did you do?" ”

Zang Ba knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said it all in one go. After hearing this, Zhang Ren got up suddenly, threw his cup on the ground, and shouted: "You idiots, how many people have been killed? ”

Zang Ba didn't dare to get up, but he couldn't back down on his words, and said: "How harmful is it for the two armies to fight each other!" ”

Pang Tong gasped, his scalp was numb and said, "This matter has completely ruined Anding County." Zang Ba straightened up at this time, stunned in surprise.

He did not say what Zhang Ren did, but said that someone was infected and went to Anding County, and then the whole city was infected.

Zang Ba was shocked, and his whole body trembled. It was as if he had been thrown into a dark snake's den.

"I was fooled by children and women. People whose brains are burned by hatred cannot do good. Pang Tong said and glanced at Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren gritted his teeth, knowing that his fault was irreparable. Pang Tong continued: "What do you mean by the unfindable antidote? Never mind. Call Badar and Say for me. ”

Zang Ba took the order and left.

Say was in the front, and Badar came in the back. Pang Tong left his seat.

Pang Tong saw that the two of them were also worried, and said calmly: "Yan Yan's army of 100,000 people was all wiped out, and only one-third of the more than 200,000 people in the city escaped after someone was infected in Anding County. It's amazing. ”

When Say heard this, he burst into tears and said: "Old and decrepit, the mountain god will definitely condemn his crimes, and ask a huge man to give him death." ”

Badal was ashamed of his silence, with an expression of resignation.

Pang Tong said: "What to do, you say it yourself, as long as there is a glimmer of hope...... At this time, Say had already taken out a yellowed leather paper from his cuff. Pang Tong took it. The open parchment was marked with black lines outlining a tall mountain wall and a river below, and then a black cave opened on the mountain wall. Looking at the angle and scale of the painting, this mountain wall is protruding from the river and is not very tall.

Said said: "It is said that there will be an antidote to the 'rabbit plague' when you go to the Mountain God Cave, but the problem is that no one in our clan has seen the Mountain God Cave for more than 100 years, and it used to be a place where the Great Witch went, and no one knew." ”

Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as there is this place, it would be fine." First of all, I want to take Wudu County, and I want my wife to go to the Watta Mountains peacefully. "When I think that I am in a normal environment, I feel uncomfortable, and I am sorry for Zhang Ren, who is the same kind of person, otherwise there is always a sense of disobedience.

Zang Ba said: "Liu Yan died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang's accession to the throne was half a month ago. ”

Pang Tong bowed his head and said: "Liu Zhang has no great talent. ”

Zang Ba and the others were at a loss. Zhang Ren frowned, got up and said, "How do you know?" ”

His words have actually revealed that Pang Tong's judgment is right. Pang Tong made an evaluation from the record of history. But he'll have to whitewash himself. He raised his head and said: "If you don't even know the details of the princes of all parties, how can you conquer the world." ”

Zhang Ren was in a mood of admiration for Pang Tong at this moment.

Pang Tong is planning to send the message to various localities so that it is easier to mobilize troops and plan the overall situation. Unexpectedly, a document changed his plan greatly: "Liu Biao was defeated and withdrew from Yuzhou." His subordinate general Liu Bei abandoned him and left. Liu Bei voted for Liu Zhang. His subordinates Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were amazingly brave, and they killed several generals of Kong Ling in many major battles. And it has just been named the world-shattering Wolong Zhuge Liang. The Jingzhou soldiers began to recycle in order to defend themselves against our and Liu Biao's attacks. ”

Pang Tong slapped the scroll on the table and sighed: "The situation of history is changeable, and it can no longer be referred to by ordinary history. Zhuge Liang was finally accepted by Liu Bei. You can't rashly attack Wudu County now. A rash attack would only be met by the combined attack of the Yizhou army and the Ma Teng army. ”

In the afternoon study, sandalwood was pleasant, Pang Tong walked to the window and watched a round of white sun lying on the clouds. Clouds and mist drifted in the air, and with such weather, it was difficult to find the celestial variable star next to the Big Dipper at night. Dian Wei stood on one side, and Pang Tong said, "Tianxiong, go and fetch a box that I stepped on in the middle of the house." ”

Dian Wei took the order and left.

Pang Tong thought to himself: "That little bead always feels that there is something strange. He wanted to take a closer look. ”

He was thinking about the fate of the star, and suddenly he thought of the red orb. I felt that there were a lot of things, and when I was about to turn around, a cold wind rushed in through the window behind the bed. He turned to close the window, and a white light flashed, and blood splattered on his upper chest. I just saw the black shadow speeding by, and the sneak attacker was gone. He retreated blankly, clutching his chest, the door on one side was kicked open, and when he retreated vigilantly, another window behind him was opened, and someone rushed in. Pang Tong had quickly ducked to the table, picked up the scabbard on the table, and pulled out his sword. By the time he had done this, the enemy had already shot through the air, and the sharp sword was close at hand. Pang Tong took a step back and leaned against the wall, he watched as his opponent's long sword pierced his right shoulder blade without changing his face, and the sword in his hand swept over.

The sneak attacker was taken aback. Because Pang Tong deliberately let her stab, and then counterattacked at the right time. However, the sneak attacker's body was so flexible that he bent backwards on the table, dodged a sword, and bounced up before retreating into the open space behind. Pang Tong bypassed the table and swept for a while, and as soon as the sword in the enemy's hand came out, it was cut off.

Pang Tong shouted: "Dare to come during the day!" ”

The sneak attacker was shocked, the man in front of him seemed to have never been cut, but he was already bloodstained, how could he still be so flexible and powerful? After the sword in her hand broke, she had no intention of killing, and flew out of the window, Pang Tong chased after her, and when she saw that everything was quiet outside, she knew that it was not easy to chase that person. He touched his chest and right shoulder, and the flesh had begun to heal, as fast as a small ripple on the surface of a lake.
