Chapter 34 Night Raid

Deep into the night, all was quiet, with the drowsiness before sleep.

Suddenly!

From the northeast, flames rose, accompanied by the sounds of shouting and commotion.

The once tranquil city was abruptly awakened.

Li Jing sprang to his feet, threw on his clothes, and, holding the Treasure Sword upside down, stepped out of the room.

"What's happened?"

"Why is there such unending noise?"

"Reporting to your lordship!"

"Bandits in disguise have infiltrated through the city gates, intending to rob!"

"They were just discovered!"

"That's what caused the disturbance!"

"Please be assured, my lord!"

"Now, the local troops are engaged in fierce combat with them. It won't be long before the enemy is vanquished!"

Hearing the servant's response, Li Jing nodded slightly.

The bandits were nothing but a rabble; how could they be a match for the troops? Before long, they would surely be crushed and captured.

However, the development of events took everyone by surprise.
