Chapter 1796 He Didn’t Come Back

Xue Yun said: "Originally everything was arranged properly, but that night, an accident happened."

"What accident?"

"You two should also know that there is a Thermidor Crescent not far from our White Dragon City."

“…”

When the Thermidor Crescent was mentioned, Zhu Feng's expression changed.

This was like a thorn in his heart. He had suffered losses in all the years of fighting. He even almost died in the Great Wall Moat because of his youthful recklessness, and even killed Ye Zheng's brother Ye Quan.

However, these were all things that happened many years ago.

Zhu Feng, the former King of Yan, was the northern god of war who prevented the cavalry of the Kingdom of Dian from taking a single step south for decades. It had been a long time since he had felt defeated or schemed against.

But this time when dealing with Retsuwan, he was actually tricked.

In fact, if Nan Yan had not been worried about him and always reminded him not to take risks, he would most likely have failed in the last plan to raid the Hot Moon Bay.

Seeing Zhu Feng's expression change, Xue Yun asked, "Young Master Huang... has he also dealt with them?"

Zhu Feng said: "For businessmen, of course they take this path."

He said it simply, but Xue Yun understood it completely.

He nodded and said, "Yes, the caravans along this road have suffered greatly. Moreover, not only the caravans along the road, but even our White Dragon City has been frequently harassed by them, and it is unbearable."

Nan Yan said, "Then, Master Xue said that there was an accident that night. Could it be related to the Thermidor?"

"good,"

Xue Yun nodded and said, "Those bandits from Hot Moon Bay often rob passing caravans. Sometimes, when there are no caravans left, they will attack our White Dragon City and plunder the city's property."

Nan Yan couldn't help but grit her teeth and said, "Damn it."

Xue Yun sighed and said, "Because we are often harassed by them, the big families in Bailong City, including our Xue family, have funded the establishment of a militia to guard the city gates and resist these sand bandits."

“…”

"That night, the sand bandits came."

“…”

Xue Yun frowned and said, "That night, their attack was extremely fierce. They broke through the city gate in one fell swoop and rushed directly into the city, burning, killing, and looting wantonly. A group of sand bandits also broke into our Xue family."

“…”

"You two must be aware that our Xue family is a wealthy family in Bailong City. In addition to funding the militia, we also have our own guards. Moreover, our home is in the city, so we shouldn't be a target for the Sand Bandits. But that night, they stormed into our home."

Nan Yan suddenly became nervous.

"And what was the result?"

"As a result, naturally, many people were killed or injured."

“…”

"My home was in chaos. It wasn't until dawn that the guards and militia finally drove the bandits out of Bailong City. That's when I suddenly remembered Ling'er and Santing. I hurried to find them, but I found—"

"how?"

"San Ting is gone."

"Gone?"

Nan Yan was very confused when she heard this. She turned around and looked at Zhu Feng. Zhu Feng also frowned: "Why is he gone? Didn't they agree to elope together?"

Xue Yun said, "Ling'er said that she went to look for San Ting that night. The two of them had already met and were about to leave together, but they encountered bandits who broke into our house. San Ting saw the bandits burning, killing, and looting, so he asked Ling'er to hide first and went out to help."

“…”

"As a result, he didn't come back until dawn when the bandits retreated."
