"Third brother, it's not good!"

Shen Yan slammed open the door and rushed in, and when he saw Shen Li standing by the window and Yu Luo kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

The conversation was interrupted, and Shen Li frowned and said unhappily, "What is the matter so flustered?"

Shen Yan didn't expect it to be the middle of the night, and Shen Li hadn't rested yet. And the feather fell in his room, and there were still scraps of the vase on the ground. I was curious and wanted to ask, but I remembered that there was something more important at the moment, so I ignored the key points for the time being and said: "There is a rat infestation in the city, third brother, you can go out and have a look." ”

"Rat-infested?"

Shen Li raised his eyebrows in surprise. It's not spring yet, and there was a heavy snowfall in the border city a few days ago, how could there be a rat infestation?

Although it was a little incredible, Shen Li knew that Shen Yan was measured, and at this juncture when the two armies were fighting, it was impossible to run over and talk nonsense to him in the middle of the night. So although I thought so in my heart, I also hurried out to see what was going on.

He walked out of the courtyard where he lived, and through the high walls, he could faintly see the bright light of the fire. The noise in his ears made him believe in the seriousness of the matter.

"What the hell is going on?"

Not far away, a little soldier hurriedly ran over, he asked loudly, Xiao Bing saw that it was the third prince, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said in a panic: "Back to the third master, we don't know the specific situation." I heard that in the middle of the night, every family was sleeping soundly, but suddenly I felt something crawling on the bed. When I got up and lit the lamp, I realized that I didn't know when, there were rats scurrying everywhere on the ground. ”

Now that the weather is not right, and the people in the border city are still wearing thick cotton clothes, where did they ever think that they would see rats at this time? First, this thing is strange, and second, everyone is unprepared. If the number is small, it will be over if you take some effort to catch and die. But these rats are as if they have fallen into evil, and the house is full of them, running everywhere, drilling everywhere, although it does not hurt people, but just the timid people look at it, and they feel very cautious and panicked.

"Why are there so many rats in one night?"

Shen Li frowned and pondered, a little unable to figure it out. Shen Yan, who came out with him, pursed his mouth and closed his eyes, and never spoke. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, pulled Shen Li's sleeve and leaned into his ear and said, "Third brother, you calm down and listen carefully." Listen to me if it's my delusion, I seem to have heard the sound of a flute faintly from the beginning. ”

Shen Li was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he settled down and closed his eyes. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were bright.

Yes, although the streets are full of people at the moment, it is very noisy. But people with a good foundation in martial arts, as long as they pay careful attention, they can hear the faint faint sound of the flute from this noise.

"North!"

Almost in unison, Shen Li and Shen Yan opened their mouths together. The two brothers looked at each other silently, and then ran to the north. They made their way to the northern gate, only to find that the flute was far from the border city. Judging by the ears and voices, isn't the location of the other party the barracks outside the north gate, where the Snow Country is stationed!

"I knew they were doing it!"

Shen Yan snorted angrily, picked up the silver spear and wanted to rush out, directly catch the flute and kill him. Shen Li stopped him in time and warned him not to be reckless. In fact, I was also surprised in my heart, who would have such skills? In this cold winter season when ice and snow still exist, so many rats can be controlled by the sound of the flute.

In the distance, a small soldier chased after him out of breath, and when he saw the two of them, he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he said anxiously: "Third master, seventh master, you can think of a way." There are more and more rats, and they can't get rid of them, and they can't get rid of them, so if they go on like this, people are panicking, but what should I do?"

Shen Yan was annoyed at this moment, so he didn't lose the little soldier's eyes, and said angrily: "Isn't that a way, sir, I'm trying to figure it out! Let me tell you, there is a demon in the Snow Country military camp, did you hear the sound of the flute? These rats were all summoned by him! If I can kill him, there will be nothing to do." ”

After saying this, Shen Yan subconsciously glanced at Shen Li. The second half of the sentence was not spoken, but the meaning was already obvious. It's a pity that my third brother stopped me and didn't let me go." That's why I'm not going to do it at this point!"

At this moment, Shen Li looked at the place where the snow country was camped in the distance. The eyes are deep and the expression is serious.

Su Moxie is on an equal footing with him, and his strength is on par. Although he is a powerful person, he will never be able to do this kind of ability. The identity of the commander of his army is unknown, but I have heard that he is a middle-aged man with considerable majesty and ambition. The deputy commander is a young general, the commander's son, brave and good at fighting, it seems that he should be about the same as Shen Yan.

Although Shen Li didn't know these people very thoroughly, he was nine percent sure that this rat plague was definitely not done by the three of them. And the group of generals under Su Moxie's hands is even more impossible.

So in addition to these, the most suspicious are the three women who went out with the army. The little princess and maidservant girl in the night country can basically be ruled out, and now it seems that only the unknown woman is the most suspicious!

In fact, Shen Li had always wondered if that woman was the long-rumored holy priestess of the Snow Country. If it were her, then everything would be easy to explain. He can understand the identity of a priest, and he does have the ability that the school can't reach. Otherwise, the Mu family would not have such a high status in the Ming country.

But the spy assured him with his life that the holy priestess of the Snow Country did stay in White City and did not come. This made Shen Li wonder, if it wasn't for the holy priestess, then where did Su Moxie find such a powerful person?

"Third master, third master?"

Shen Li was still thinking about the problem, but he turned the little soldier around. This side of the city is not big, but it is not small. Now it's all surrounded by rats, what is this called?

At this time, the county magistrate of the border city also rushed tremblingly. As soon as he saw Shen Li and Shen Yan, his footsteps were not yet steady, so he knelt down directly.

"Two masters, you can think of a way for the lower officials. What kind of evil is this? Where the hell did these rats come from?"

"Xu County Order, how many people are there in the border city now?"

Shen Li finally opened his mouth, and the county commander hurriedly replied: "There were more than a thousand people before. Later, I heard that there was going to be a war, so those who had relatives went to seek refuge with their relatives, and those who did not have relatives went to other places for refuge, and now there are about three or four hundred people. ”

Shen Li nodded silently, and then said to the little soldier: "Is it safe for the army to store grain and grass?"

"Safe for now. As soon as something happened, we went to check the grain and grass, and now many brothers are holding torches and guarding there. ”

"Good!"

Shen Li turned around without hesitation, giving orders word by word.

"Xu County ordered you to organize the people immediately, pack up your simple luggage, and leave from the south gate overnight. And you, immediately go back and tell the guards who are guarding the grain and grass, and let them go out of the city with the people immediately. ”

"Third brother, what are you?"

Shen Yan was puzzled, and subconsciously doubted. Shen Li didn't explain, but simply threw out two words.

"Abandon the city!"
