Night.

The moonlight is bright.

There is no longer the hustle and bustle of the day.

The watchman has already played three watches.

I only heard the dog barking in the deep alley.

Most of the people had already fallen asleep by this time, and even the smoke and willow lane, which was only lively at night, had disappeared after the drunkenness had stopped.

And the bandits lurking in the city had already recuperated during the day, and now they all got up one by one and hid in all corners of the city, ready for action.

They are all dressed in night clothes, and each of them also has special signs on their clothes, so that they can know each other through the light of the moon when they want to kill each other in the future, so as not to harm their own family.

There are already an unknown number of bandits outside the city ready to attack, and the four gates of the east, west, and south gates of Qixue City are now surrounded, and the people in the city do not want to take advantage of the chaos to abscond tonight.

Everything was ready, but Shi Zhongquan, who was now sitting in an inn, was restless.

Because Xiang Botong, who conspired with him, is unknown.

Although the subordinates brought by Xiang Botong were still there, Shi Zhongquan waited for him for nearly an hour, and then searched his room, but he was never seen.

Even, his daughter is not seen.

Shi Zhongquan realized that he was a little careless. Although he had heard that Xiang Botong had brought his daughter over, he had never seen him.

When he was about to attack the city, he suddenly disappeared, why?

Shi Zhongquan had a bad premonition.

But preparations for the assault on the city have reached this point, and the whole situation cannot be ruined because of the absence of one person.

It's past the hour, and in the dead of night, it's time when the city's defenses are weaker.

Shi Zhongquan, who had made up his mind, didn't want to hesitate any longer, nor did he want to wait any longer, so he ordered someone to send a signal to light the fireworks flying in the sky.

The fireworks flew into the sky, and after the eerie splendor bloomed in the sky, several fireworks burst into the sky from other places.

The sound of rushing and killing suddenly resounded inside and outside the entire Qi Snow City.

Screams then erupted from everywhere.

The torches were also lit one by one, and it didn't take long for most of the city to shine red.

Then, the firelight overshadowed the moonlight and began to spread endlessly.

The houses in the city were set on fire one by one, and the fire spread more unbridled and more powerful.

The screams of people eventually became incessant, and the cries of people finally became terrifying......

Shi Zhongquan stood on the roof of the third floor of the inn, silently admiring the magnificent scene in front of him.

There was light in his eyes, and his heart was pounding with a torrent that never stopped.

Many years ago, when he was still young, he was abandoned by Qi Snow City, and many years later, he was already old and finally fulfilled his life's long-cherished wish.

Wash away the shame you have suffered and regain the dignity you lost here.

Kill the men, women and children who insulted them in the first place, kill their children and grandchildren, and let everything here forget the ravages and insults they have suffered here in this cruel way.

Destroy the city and let him rebuild it.

Let the people here have new faces, and let yourself dominate a new world created by your own hands.

Now, he's already done it, and for now, he's doing a good job.

After tonight, the city will be full of bones, and he will step on the bones of those who have been slain, ascend to the position of city lord, and establish a new city of perched snow to rule everything here.

Looking at the firelight in the sky and thinking about his own thoughts, he couldn't help but be excited.

At this time, how can he hide the surging in his heart?

A long-cherished wish of nearly a lifetime is about to come true tonight, how can he control his emotions?

How could he not feel relieved and suddenly relax when all hatred was written off under his cruelty and all his shame would be washed away under his wanton whim?

Many pictures of the past floated in his mind, from being abandoned by Qixue City, to occupying the mountain as the king, and now attacking the city and killing thousands of people in the city, which constantly appeared in his memory......

One person's earth-shattering, a city's people being turned upside down.

At this time, how could he not feel unprecedented satisfaction and unstoppable ecstasy?

Suddenly, Shi Zhongquan found a darkness in the thousands of fires.

The dark place is in the south of the city, which is the place where he handed over to Xiang Botong and let his subordinates be ordered to do things.

Why hasn't there been any movement in the south of the city until now?

Did Xiang Botong's subordinates not see the fireworks signal, or did Xiang Botong become a rebel and play tricks on Shi Zhongquan?

Shi Zhongquan's heart, which was still ecstatic just now, suddenly became much calmer.

He looked at the south of the city, frowned, his expression became serious, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

"Xiang Botong, Xiang Botong, what tricks are you playing with me? If you turn against you, I swear to kill all the people in your Qingfeng Mountain Cottage and let you be brutally tortured to death. He muttered to himself coldly.

Then he leaped off the roof and stood outside the inn.

Seven or eight of his men were already waiting outside the inn, and when they saw him suddenly appear, they immediately greeted him with fists.

"Hurry up and prepare the horses, and you guys will go with me to the south of the city." He gave the order.

At this moment, a wounded man staggered over with a blood-stained knife.

"Big boss, big things are not good. When we were about to attack the Zhen Mansion, we didn't encounter a powerful roadblocker, and after entering the Zhen Mansion, we didn't see a single person, not even the chickens, ducks, dogs and cats in the Zhen Mansion. He said, spitting blood. But, but...... When we were scattered and searched, all of us were ambushed, except for me, as if ...... It seems that there is not even a living one. ”

"What? What happened to the Zhen Mansion? Shi Zhongquan's face became very ugly.

"It was not a martial arts master who did it to us, but the family members and maids in the Zhen Mansion, as well as some young soldiers." At this point, the wounded man fell to the ground and fainted.

Hearing his words, Shi Zhongquan's heart, which was still hot just now, turned into ice.

At this time, one of his subordinates led a healthy horse and came to Shi Zhongquan's side.

Shi Zhongquan didn't dare to think about anything and jumped on the horse.

"There is a change in the plan, and this change is related to the survival of the cottage!" He snapped. "A few of you find a few fast horses, protrude from the gate in the east of the city, hurry back to the cottage, and find out."

In fact, he also wanted to say that although they are secretly operating now, they are pouring out, if Xiang Botong betrays, their cottage is very likely to be enemy, and they are undoubtedly ambushed in the city now, and then the brothers in the cottage are dead or alive, and whether this night is a success or failure, is no longer a certainty, but a terrible unknown.

However, he didn't want to say anything more, and he didn't want to let himself think about the worst.

Just send the order down, and it's up to you to see what happens next.

"If you can still return to this city, you can find me in the south of the city or in Zhen's mansion when the time comes." Those were the last words he spoke.

The seven or eight men clenched their fists and took the order, and then left in a hurry.

Shi Zhongquan looked at the south of the city, which was still dark, and the pain was frozen between his eyebrows.

He mounted his fast horse, hated and ruthless, and galloped towards the south of the city......
