Just when the fireworks in the imperial city were everywhere, and the whole country was celebrating, Kansai, thousands of miles away, was silent.
It was even darker.
On the vast wasteland, there is only a little light shining. When the sight slowly approaches, it is discovered that it is an earthen city.
It is said to be Tucheng, but it is actually too small.
The radius is only a few miles, and a wall several feet high is built with rammed earth. Even so, on the wasteland, such an earthen wall and earthen city look like a small potted plant from a distance. Standing on a slope with a certain height, you can have a panoramic view of everything in the city.
For example, at this moment, on a soil slope, several pairs of eyes are shining in the darkness.
It was the sand bandits who were raging near Shazhouwei.
This night, they did not go out to plunder in the dark as usual, nor did they eat meat and drink, gamble and sleep with women in the crescent moon, their base camp, but came out to do a big event.
At this moment, they are quietly dormant on the yellow sand and rocks.
Although the wind was howling, they didn't even take a breath, they just cautiously stared at a huge tent in Tucheng.
That was the temporary capital governor's mansion of Shazhouwei.
The captain who came this time made them all suffer.
Especially half a month ago, the raid commanded by the captain almost broke into their Thermidor Crescent. Not only did they destroy the garrison army in one of their strongholds, but they also rescued many prisoners and burned them directly. A store of grain.
However, they naturally didn't give the captain any good fruit.
After discovering that the stronghold had been captured by them and it was irreversible, they directly set fire to that place, took advantage of the chaos to cover up the killing, and killed many imperial soldiers, and the captain was also slightly injured in the fire.
Both sides have losses.
But they are not easy to offend, otherwise how will they gain a foothold in the Kansai region in the future? How to let other rogue bandits come to join them.
So tonight, they plan to do something big.
Several bandits stared at Tucheng in front of them, one of them looked at it for a while, then turned around cautiously and walked back. Behind the hillside, there was a team of hundreds of people. They were all dormant in the night, completely unrecognizable.
Naturally, the people in Tucheng couldn't see it even more.
The man ran to their little leader, Kanji, and said softly, "Boss, are we really going to attack Shazhou Guard tonight? There are a lot of soldiers stationed there."
The people around heard it and looked over.
Someone whispered, "Yes, there are quite a few soldiers inside."
"Besides, we are bandits and they are soldiers. Isn't it wrong for us to fight them?"
"I also feel a little wrong."
Hearing what everyone said, Kanji let out a pooh and said: "Who said that being a bandit can only be chased and beaten by soldiers? In Kansai, we are the local snakes here, even if Shazhouwei is really a strong dragon and How about it? Even a strong dragon can't beat a local snake!"
Everyone was silent and did not speak.
Kanji said again: "Besides, even you think that it is impossible for us as bandits to take the initiative to beat them as soldiers, so they naturally have no idea."
"..."
"We just want to catch him by surprise, by surprise!"
"..."
"They never expected that we would fight back, and directly into their city, especially at this time!"
Everyone hurriedly said, "At this time—?"
Kanji said, "Don't you know what day it is tonight?"
"Tonight is—"
"Tonight is New Year's Eve. The people of Yan Kingdom want to eat delicious food and drink spicy food tonight, and the defenders will no longer defend the city. They all went to have fun."
"oh!"
"Let's take advantage of this time to rush in, rush directly to their captain's mansion, and kill that captain, which can be regarded as revenge for the one arrow a few days ago!"
Hearing what he said, everyone also recalled the losses they suffered a few days ago.
They all gritted their teeth and said, "Okay, let's do this!"
"Can't let that guy ride shit on our heads!"
"kill him!"
However, there are also people who are more cautious, saying: "But we only have this few people, but there are so many people in the city."
Na Kanji said: "Zishi is the time when they are most relaxed. I heard that there are still people in the city who are going to set off fireworks. At that time, let's cover up and kill them."
"..."
"Besides, we are not in direct conflict with them."
As he spoke, he pointed to the huge tent—
"Did you see it? That's the residence of the governor of Shazhou Wei."
"..."
"Our target this time is him. If we kill him, we will withdraw immediately and don't stay for a moment. At that time, even if the soldiers of the imperial court want to chase them, they must take care of their boss."
"That's right!"
Everyone understood at this moment, and said one after another: "Then what are we waiting for now?"
Just when the crowd was excited, a bandit who was watching in front turned his head and said in a low voice, "Boss, the hour is coming."
"oh!?"
Upon hearing this, Kanji hurriedly waved his hand, and everyone shut up.
They slowly crawled to the slope, and the surroundings were pitch black, and they could see the walls and tiles in the massacre city more clearly, as well as the huge tent, and they could even see that the lights were still lit inside.
Kanji raised his hand: "Everyone, get ready!"
Hearing these words, all the people around held their breaths. Dozens of hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at the tent. The temperature in their eyes almost set the tent on fire.
At this moment, the child's hour has come!
In the dreary Tucheng, some soldiers lit some fireworks and firecrackers they brought in an open place, and suddenly, several colorful fireworks shot up over the Tucheng.
In the silent wilderness, there were bursts of loud noises.
With the wind, farther and farther away.
"kill!"
With a loud shout, all the sand bandits who were dormant on the slope stood up, pulled out the bright steel swords and long swords at their waists, charged down the slope, and charged directly towards the city.
All the people rushed towards the huge tent.
The sound of killing, accompanied by splashing blood, added a touch of blood to the night sky of the wasteland on this quiet but warm night.

"...!"
Zhu Feng suddenly woke up from his deep sleep.
He gasped and frowned, still remembering what woke him up in the dream just now, but when he lowered his head and saw the little girl in his arms, he couldn't remember anything.
The two of them were only covered with a thin blanket, because just when they moved, a corner of the blanket slipped off, exposing her snow-white shoulders.
The sweat on it is still wet, and there are some pink traces left when I was emotional.
Zhu Feng stretched out his hand and gently stroked her smooth skin. There were still some marks all over the covered skin under the blanket, like fallen flowers on the snow, which was amazingly beautiful.
A burst of hotness, from the depths of the body, jumped up again.
