Sunset Loulan

Everyone was ready to act according to plan, and the Huns did not notice at all.

Without anyone noticing, Ban Chao and Chen Mi crept to the north side of the small building and tied the oiled rope to the arrow. This rope was also specially made, and each section was tied with firecrackers. As long as a fire was ignited, these firecrackers would fly everywhere and not be underestimated.

The two drew their bows and shot two arrows straight up to the top floor. In the middle of winter, the four sides of the building were tightly shut, and the people inside had no idea what was going on.

Ban Chao lit the rope, and the two fire serpents rose up, and then the firecrackers exploded, scattering fire all over the place. Only then did the Huns realize that they were in danger, but it was too late.

The two of them each held a rocket, and continued to shoot arrows at the windows of the building. The arrows were shot without restraint, and were extremely powerful. Some of the arrows even penetrated through the windows and into the building. At this moment, the cold wind was howling and the fire was burning brighter and brighter. They could clearly see everything within a hundred miles.

Ban Chao shouted, "Kill!"

Thirty plus warriors, each fighting bravely, rushed to the inn. The hundred foot tall building was filled with mournful wails. The group of Huns had been busy trying to save the fire, but now they only wanted to escape. Unfortunately, the staircase was narrow, and they couldn't escape from so many people in a short time.

Some were burnt to death by the smoke, some were burned to death by the fire, and some died from trampling. Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't be able to avoid a stroke of fortune!

Later, when the stairs were lit, the people upstairs could not go down at all. Some of them could not stand the heat of the fire and decided to just jump off the building. Many more fell to their deaths. There were also those who managed to escape the sea of flames by a fluke. Ban Chao and the others were waiting for him.

The sound of firecrackers rose up, and the fire alerted the good people. Everyone went out to see, only to see that under the moonlight, the fire was blazing and smoke was billowing. Occasionally, there were fireworks flying up into the night sky, as lively as if it was New Year's Day. However, there was a constant stream of 'Fire Men' jumping down from the tall tower. They were howling in a heart-wrenching manner in mid-air. Anyone who heard this would feel terrified upon hearing this.

Since the Huns' inn was on fire, the Shansan king naturally knew about it, and hastened over before he had time to dress himself properly. By the time he arrived, the Han people had already won a great victory. After a quick calculation, there were no more than four hundred enemies in this battle, more than ten times as many as the Han Envoys. Bandung's side, on the other hand, was completely unharmed, with the exception of Chen Min, who was injured. However, not all of the dead were Huns, and there were also servants, women, horse grooms, and burning servants who were sent to serve them in the country of Shanshen. They were the lowest of the low, and their lives were nothing but grass in the eyes of the powerful and the "heroes." If they died, they would die. Not to mention the fact that no one served the emissaries of the Han Dynasty, but these people served the Huns, so the warrior of the big man showed no mercy to them.

Each of them held a sharp knife in their hands and their bodies were covered in blood. The tall building was still burning behind them, and from time to time, sounds of wood exploding could be heard from the building as flames soared to the sky. The flames set off their resolute faces, making them look even more ferocious, as if they were heavenly soldiers descending to the world below.

There were countless onlookers, some of them were trembling in fear, some of the busybodies were talking and laughing with each other, some of them were talking and barking in the distance, and some children were crying loudly nearby. The scene was a mess, and people could not express their feelings one by one, but no matter who it was, none of them dared to step forward and fight the fire.

Seeing this scene, the Shansan King felt as if his soul had left his body. A group of soldiers broke through the crowd and made a path for Ban Chao. The King of Shanshan, like many others, did not dare to go forward. He asked through the crowd, "Is that the envoy from the Eastern Lands, Master Ban Chao?"

Ban Chao kneeled on the ground, "It is indeed Ban Chao. "We pay our respects to Your Majesty!"

"You all … Hello... "Good, good, good," stammered the Shansan king, and said a few words of good, and those who did not know it thought they were praising Ban Chao and the others. The king calmed down, paused, and then blurted out, "How dare you!" Although it took a lot of effort, to say the words "you are brave" sounded pale and powerless in front of these warriors. To Ban Chao, this was the same as bullshitting. However, the other party held an esteemed position, so Ban Chao had to treat him with respect. Thus, he bowed first.

It seemed that the king had no intention of forming an alliance with the burly man even after he said such words. Now, he could only take a step further and force him to submit. At this time, there were close to three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, each of them had a sword in hand, so there was no way they could survive.

It turned out that the thing was a black head. Due to the fire being too strong, the head had already been burnt black, and the nose, eyes, and mouth had all turned into a few black holes. One could only vaguely see the appearance of a person, but no one knew who he was when he was alive.

Ban Chao took a step forward and shouted, "Your Majesty, the northern Huns' spies have been killed by us. The Huns will not dare to harass us anymore."

"Nonsense …" "Nonsense …" The Shansan King said incoherently, "When do I want you to kill them?"

Ban Chao smiled, "The Huns' spies want to assassinate His Majesty. Don't tell me we have to wait until he gets his hands on them before we kill them? Highness, how much money and manpower did you spend on building such a tall building for the Huns and how much money and manpower did the Huns spend? "I am afraid that the people of Shanshan have long complained. Now that they want to assassinate his majesty, I will help his majesty by setting up the law and protect his safety. I hope that his majesty can observe clearly!"

The King of Shanshan knew that Ban Chao was spitting blood. He felt angry and scared. He kept breathing heavily, but he couldn't say a word.

Ban Chao was calm and collected as he said in a clear voice, "Your Majesty, although we have eliminated the assassins, the Huns are vicious and have failed in their first plan. Since we have come up with a second plan, we will not let this matter rest."

When the king of Shanshan heard this, his face turned ashen. No matter who killed the Huns, they still died in Shanshan. If he used this as an excuse to extort blame for his actions, how could a small country like himself bear the consequences? Even if he tied Ban Chao up and sent him to the Huns, so what? If this was used as an excuse to send out troops to attack, then he wouldn't be able to withstand it either.

The king only felt that he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, and for a moment he did not know what to do. The spectators were cheering loudly, as if no one really cared about the death of the Huns.

It turned out that Ban Chao's words had reached the heart of the crowd. From the moment Wang Mang had usurped the throne, the Central Plains had been thrown into chaos, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the other countries of the Western Regions had gradually distanced themselves, and the Huns had often come to Shanshan to bully the good people. Ban Chao had also been asking around in the people these days, and he had already figured out the situation. The removal of the Huns was the result of the hearts of the people of Shanshan.

Seeing that the king was still hesitating, Ban Chao said, "Fellow elders, in three days, my big size will send people to station in Shan Shan Shan. I, the big man, am just like us, brave enough to fight, able to fight one against ten, everywhere. Our two nations have teamed up against the Huns, we will definitely ensure your safety! Your Majesty, right now, you can only form an alliance with my burly man … " He then cut the burnt head into two and raised it with the tip of his sword, "This man is the envoy of the Huns, Your Majesty. As matters stand, you have no other choice!"
