In the restaurant closest to the city gate, several playboys were talking loudly.

Someone stood by the window, looking at the bustling crowds on the street, and said happily: "I didn't expect that we would be so lucky this year and be able to reserve such a good seat!"

Someone echoed and answered, "Yes."

Then he continued to ask doubtfully: "But speaking of which, I don't think I saw the third son of Wu'an Marquis's family and the second son of Zhao Guogong's family tonight? Did you see them?"

"It's okay, aren't we always together?"

A bold young man waved his hand at him and joked, "You haven't seen it, so how can we see it?"

"Not only did I not see those two people, but also the youngest of the Wucheng Bingmasi family and the sixth of General Sun's family in the Xishan Camp."

At this time, another young man added in a low voice, his brows slightly furrowed, looking a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't miss such a lively event as today. Could something be happening tonight?

Suddenly he remembered that he seemed to have heard his mother say that his sister and her little sisters would also come to see the lanterns tonight.

So he hurriedly called his friends around him, "Feng Jun, my sister is on the street, come with me to look for her!"

Feng Jun was stunned for a moment, then a surprised smile immediately appeared on his face: "Ah! Is your sister here too? Let's go and look for her."

After saying that, he took the other person's hand and walked out quickly.

The man only had time to say, "It's a bit chaotic tonight with so many people, we'll leave first!"

The young man only had time to turn around and say to others: "It's a bit chaotic tonight with so many people around, we'll leave first!" His voice faded away, and there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Watching the two disappearing figures, someone asked in confusion: "What happened to these two people? The emperor is about to come out, why are they leaving?"

"Don't worry about them, they're going to look for someone."

The young man who had been sitting at the table and fiddling with the dice cup replied without even looking up, his tone revealing a bit of disdain and indifference.

After hearing what he said, the man stopped asking questions, just shook his head and slowly sat down at the table.

"Hey, that's not right. I saw that man shaking his hands like this yesterday."

As he spoke, he picked it up and gestured a few times, imitating the movements of the master. "Just like that, he opened it and found all leopards. It's amazing!"

"But I don't think it's a matter of technique!"

The other young man retorted firmly, a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

Their discussion attracted people around them, who gathered around and tried to join in.

Just as they were having a heated discussion, there was suddenly a noise outside and the crowd below began to get agitated.

A voice shouted from a distance: "The Emperor has come out!"

This shout was like a fuse, instantly igniting the tense atmosphere inside and outside the restaurant.

Everyone quickly stopped arguing and crowded towards the window, their expressions full of anticipation and excitement.

The current emperor was wearing a golden dragon robe and looking very heroic. He was standing on the wall of the palace with several ministers beside him.

Seeing the emperor appear, the people below immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!" The voices surged like a tide, forming a magnificent hymn of hymns on the square.

"Swish~" At this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the arrow was like lightning in the dark, shooting straight towards the emperor on the city wall, with a clear and swift target.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze and time paused. The faces of the people who were expecting it were instantly shrouded in fear, and everyone was shocked.

"Be careful!" Someone in the crowd screamed unconsciously, and the sound was particularly harsh in the tense atmosphere.

In a flash, a row of soldiers suddenly stood up on the city wall, raising their shields to form an indestructible barrier.

The emperor and several ministers were strictly protected inside.

The arrows hit the shields, making a deafening "ding" sound, as if announcing the start of the attack.

Then there was a dense rain of arrows, shot at the soldiers at the city gate and the city wall.

The streets suddenly became chaotic, with people screaming in panic. Some were desperately trying to run outside, while others rushed into street shops in panic, trying to find a little shelter.

Countless cries and shouts for help intertwined together, forming a suffocating noise. For a moment, the entire street was plunged into endless panic.

What's worse is that the stampede happened quietly. People were driven by panic and ran away and crowded everywhere, causing many people to fall to the ground and struggle helplessly.

The air was filled with anxiety, as if even the surrounding buildings were trembling at this sudden disaster.

The minds of the few second-generation rich kids sitting by the window went blank for a moment. They could only stare at the scene in a daze, their hearts filled with fear.

Some people were so frightened that they took a few steps back, fell to the ground, and exclaimed: "What...what is going on?"
