In the distant horizon, a bolt of lightning shot through the clouds and lit up the sky. After a while, a thunderous sound came from the distance…
Hearing the thunder, the people in the not-so-busy streets sped up. It was already nighttime now and most of the people in the capital who had been busy for the day were ready to go home and eat a hot dinner. On the side of the streets, only a few restaurants and hotels were still running. Most of the shops had closed.
Today was the 19th day in the third lunar month of the 16th year of the Yuanping reign in the Great Han Empire — the day Yan Liqiang was going to attack.
