Chencang County in the south has been safe since it was attacked once, and Yan Yanjun's Dazhai is as quiet as a dead thing, and I don't know what he is thinking. Pang Tong exhaled a breath of mist. The temperature has plummeted.

After putting on his armor, he had breakfast. He planned to go to Li Ru's house and take a look around. Stepping out of the house, a cold wind swept in. He mounted his horse, and was accompanied by Dian Wei and twenty horsemen. When they arrived at Li Ru's mansion, the two guards who were strictly guarding opened the door. Pang Tong and others entered. They began to get busy, groping around the walls of all the houses, and scrutinizing the courtyard. Time passed quickly, and as the slightly gloomy clouds gradually dispersed, a ray of sunlight was revealed. Pang Tong knew that it was already noon, so he ordered someone to bring the food, and after everyone ate, they began to search the house again.

The clear air wafts with the heavy winter colors, and the people who protect the fog warm their bodies due to exercise. The sky is cloudy, and the dry weather seems to be going to move a little strongly. Pang Tong sat in the pavilion in the backyard with rockeries at all four corners, watching the small bridge and flowing water. This Li Ru's mansion is extravagant, and the local county orders are not as good as him. Pang Tong thought to himself: "In terms of Li Ru's achievements, it shouldn't be a general stream in the Red Lotus Sect." ”

The smooth stone rises above the height of the house, and the part of the water is submerged into darkness, and where there are constant waves of water in the water, countless creatures live on the slippery surface, and in the summer there are many green algae that take over the area. It's a quiet winter, and the clear water has an icy sheen, and it seems like it's about to freeze at any moment. The paved gravel road on the ground, the clouds in the sky, a pale, this is the color of the end of the year.

A man walked under the corridor on the north side, a soldier holding a fur coat, and after standing in front of Pang Tong respectfully, he said, "My lord, it's cold, wear one more." I heard from the officials in the city that there were suddenly many people in the north of the city who had a cold and fever, and there was chaos, and the doctors in the city had passed. Pang Tong said casually: "Epidemic disease, it seems that the degree of contagion is relatively high, we must take strict precautions and isolate the crowd." ”

The soldier grinned, seeming to have a hard time understanding his words. Pang Tong looked up at him and said with a smile: "You go." ”

The soldier was about to put down the sweater, Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Husband, what are you afraid of this little cold." I was wearing armor with two linings, and it was warm. Get me the clothes back. ”

After the soldier left, Pang Tong got up and shook off the busyness that had just clinged to him. At the moment, it's a relaxed torso again, let's go and see what everyone has gained. He walked through the porch, and the soldiers carefully surveyed many rooms, peeling off the cocoon of Li Ru's lair in the mood of exploring the treasure. Pang Tong arrived in the lobby and sat down in a deerskin-covered upper seat. Staring at the pillars of the void that could not be touched by the old air, under that, there was once Li Ru walking by, this person should have been planning for the great plan in this hall, and he was bent on his life. When Pang Tong was a little drowsy, Dian Wei strode from the back hall. Pang Tong sat up straight.

"Look, sir."

Pang Tong took the paper.

"I found it in Li Ru's house, and I pried the floor down, and it was down there."

The leather in Pang Tong's hand should be a part of the sheep's body, and then it was a little brownish yellow, and he stood a lot of dust, and he patted it carefully. I saw that it was painted on a plain and mountain forest area north of Anding County, marked with many patterns and words, and it was generally like starting a fire in the plain and mountain forest area. Pang Tong said blankly: "If you use fire to burn the village, it is understandable to burn it from the mountains to the plains, but looking at the momentum, it is necessary to let the enemy camp on the plains, and then most of them are on the mountains." This design is only available in summer. At that time, people would set up camp in the mountains for fear of the heat, and on the other hand, in order to avoid burning the forest, they would divide their troops and stretch to the low and plain areas, which echoed the situation. He said let's ask Dian Wei to call a local soldier to come over. I showed the picture to the man. The short soldier nodded, "But it's more than thirty miles to the south. However, according to the tents on his map, most of them were on the plains. The plains there were about to crack in the summer, and there was no grass between the tents to pass the flames. ”

Pang Tong listened and looked him up and down, and said, "Yes, a little brain, go ahead." ”

The man was praised by Pang Tongyi, and the already straight board was even straighter, and he almost bowed back.

Dian Wei said: "Li Ru's strategy is nothing more than that. ”

Pang Tong's eyes seemed to catch the flying eagle speeding in the dark, and said in a deep voice: "Hugh is going to underestimate this old guy. He put the leather paper away, and frowned as if he had a myriad of puzzled questions. I'm going to have to figure out what he's trying to do. ”

Just like on a bumpy boat, he suddenly felt that the existence of the Red Lotus Sect, Li Ru's lurk, was a dark sea, which could capsize his boat at any time. Just when this beast lacked the safety of a cave, a soldier rushed in with a mournful scream, and his mouth kept screaming, but Pang Tong did not hear it clearly. I saw that the man fell in front of him in embarrassment, and even his helmet was crooked to one side.

Pang Tong said: "What's the matter, so panicked, what kind of system!" ”

The soldier was dressed differently than the cavalry he led, apparently a county bodyguard. The man had no intention of maintaining his image, the helmet had already covered half of his eyes, his head was lifted like a spring, and the metal helmet on his head flew to the back. His movements were as agitated as his emotions, making Dian Wei feel uncomfortable. But both Pang Tong and Dian Wei should be nervous to spy on this person's secret.

"Speak quickly!" Pang Tong was already impatient.

The man gasped for breath, as if he had choked.

"In the city...... Town...... There are ghosts! O man-eating ghost! ”

It's like the image of the hideous god of death in hell suddenly generated in Pang Tong's mind. He frowned and said, "In broad daylight, how can there be ghosts!" You explain to me what the situation is! ”

The man's pupils trembled, and tears seemed to burst out of his eyes. How could a forty-year-old man be so frightened and uneasy? Isn't there a decent soldier in the county government here?

"Adults go away, the people in the north are crazy, they have become ghosts, they are eating people!"

Pang Tong's face turned pale, he almost jumped up from the back of the chair, took a few steps, bent down, helped the man up, and said, "Why are the people in the north crazy?" Why cannibalism? There should be plenty of food in the city. ”

The man who was held by Pang Tong with both arms was paralyzed like a girl, as if he was about to fall down at any moment, his eyes were almost the kind of way he hadn't slept for many days, and his horror turned into bloodshot and walked in the whites of his eyes.

Pang Tong couldn't help but ask in his heart: "What has he seen?" ”

"My lord, let's go, those people have gone crazy when they get sick, and they are eating people."

After hearing this, Pang Tong suddenly remembered that in the courtyard before, the soldier who came with clothes told about fever seriously. At the time, he was unimpressed. Could it be that this disease makes people crazy enough to start cannibalism, which is too strange.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the man fell, like a drunkard, as if he were thrashing in the mud.

Pang Tong took Dian Wei and the guards out of the house, and rode towards the north. As soon as he turned a corner of the street, he saw a group of refugees who seemed to be being chased by the herd of beasts rushing over like a tidal wave, rushing past them, dragging their families with them, and many of them did not even have time to bring their luggage. On their faces stood a man called Fear, a man of shadow who had carried the wind of death into the city, looking from the north to the south and whistling all around. The crowd is overflowing, and the streets and alleys are rushing with footsteps that are more crazy than the sound of horses' hooves, which is a crazy move that only people have when the sky is falling apart, and the most fragile and soft side of themselves is exposed without a bottom line.

The smell of blood and dust came to his face, and Pang Tong subconsciously felt that there should be an evil ghost living in the place in front of him. The horses swayed from side to side, neighing. Didn't those people see that this was the Pang Tong who was the master of one side? They even crowded around him, not caring if they offended the man. With their reaction, Pang Tong rode out and shouted: "Get out of the way for me!" ”

The seven-star sword on his waist came out of its sheath with a pleasant sound, pointing straight forward, and people had to make way for him, Dian Wei and the others while fleeing. There are too many people on the road, and they can't go as fast as they want, so it can be seen that all the people in the city have taken to the streets.

Pang Tong accidentally bumped into a passer-by while on the road, and his heart was anxious and uneasy. He told the soldier to stay and see what was going on with the man, and to give him a lump of gold. Continue to lead others on your own.

The fear of the people was louder, louder to the point of piercing. Because the area they are in now should be the north of the city. Pang Tong was stunned, and dozens of people on the road in front of him lay on the ground, all bleeding nonstop. Bent like a ghost, enjoying a gluttonous feast beside the corpse. It was the most luxurious torso of man bathed in a bloody pool, and even birds and beasts could not be enjoyed under normal circumstances. Moreover, in the fortified city, even the ghosts had to advance cautiously under the scanny of the guards, who would dare to do such a rebellious act. What's more, in the daytime, even if the little god named Dark Cloud is in front of the sun, but doing this kind of thing in the crowd, these people, to be exact, more than 20 people. They treated thousands of people as if they were nothing, gnawing on the throats of corpses.
