At night, the Xia family's house is brightly lit, and the bright candlelight blooming in the various houses and residences is extremely vivid under the cover of the night.

As a daily necessity, the price of candles is actually not too high, in all the grocery stores in the city, basically a copper plate can be bought two or three, if the purchase is large, you can further reduce the purchase price.

But for ordinary people, there is still not much need for such expenses, so once it is night, the entire Qingyang City will fall into darkness in a large area, except for the flower street and willow lane, which will start business after nightfall, most of the houses or storefronts will be swallowed by the night.

However, after all, there will be some people who are in good condition, and at night they will light candles and place lanterns for lighting.

It's just that there are very few such people, and there is no one in a hundred in the millions of households in Qingyang City.

Of all the homes that light candles at night all year round, there are undoubtedly two with the brightest names.

The willows of the east city and the west city are the two pearls that will bloom under the siege of Qingyang City every night.

One on the left and one on the right, guarding the city lord's mansion located in the center of the city.

After the short man turned over and entered the Xia family's mansion, he walked all the way towards Xia Fan's mansion without any hesitation.

While walking, his body was always in a shadow that could not be illuminated by all candlelight, and it seemed that this short man knew the entire Xia family to the point of detail!

The Xia family's mansion covers an extremely wide area, although the family has a strong military force second only to the city lord's mansion in Qingyang City, but it is not a strictly trained army after all, and the strength of the Xia family is well known in the entire Qingyang City, even those old birds or young people who have walked a thousand doors are unlikely to dare to run to Tai Sui's head to break ground, so the daily precautions are actually not very strict.

The short man didn't take much effort to come to Xia Fan's mansion.

After carefully looking around, the short man tiptoed along the courtyard wall of the house, and climbed to the roof of the house with great swiftness!

The lightness of his body is in stark contrast to his own size.

At this time, the candles in Xia Fan's house were still bright, and all kinds of sounds came and went, and some hurried footsteps could be heard in the courtyard at all times.

The stout man smiled slightly, leaned over the roof, and lay dormant motionless......

This hibernation is a full three hours!

During this period, the short man even reduced the rate of breathing to the minimum, and his eyes were slightly closed, but he always pricked up his ears and listened carefully to all the movements in the courtyard.

When all the people in the house gradually left with sighs, and the candlelight that had been bright was extinguished one after another, the stout man opened his eyes again!

At this time, not only Xia Fan's mansion, but most of the courtyards in the entire Xia family's mansion had already been extinguished, and only a few courtyards were still lit with a faint light.

After a moment's pause, and when his eyes had fully adjusted to the current darkness, the stout man rolled over and jumped off the roof of the house!

Due to the height problem, there was a slight sound when he landed, and the short man did not move, and listened cautiously for a while, and then quickly came to the window of Xia Fan's bedroom.

Although he is the killer of the black hand, although he has great confidence in his ability to hide, he is only a martial artist of the ninth rank after all, if he really accidentally alarms those masters in the Xia family, he will not hesitate to choose to give up the task and quickly escape as soon as possible.

The creed of the Black Hand organization has always been to carry out its mission under the premise of prioritizing its own safety.

A small square box was taken out of the inner pocket of the night suit, and then the stout man pulled out some paste-like things from the small square box, and carefully and evenly smeared it on the window paper made of bamboo strips.

Just a few breaths passed, and the smeared window paper disappeared silently as if it had melted out of thin air!

The entire window was completely empty.

The stout man lifted his breath, then with a strong leg, he jumped down the window into the bedroom!

After landing on the ground, he rolled over, and he had already come to Xia Fan's bed!

A dull dagger appeared in the stout man's hand at some point, and the stout man dodged and threw himself on the bed.

The dagger stabbed straight at the head of the bed, probably at the neck level, and the other hand went towards the mouth of the head on the pillow!

Because it was so dark in the bedroom, the stout man couldn't see the appearance of the person lying on the bed clearly, but given that Xia Fan was already seriously injured during the day, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

Especially when he thought that there was a charming woman waiting for him in the room where he was staying, and he hurried back to fight all night, the short man was quite restless and impatient.

Although he knows very well that such a state of mind is the most important thing when performing a mission, if he wants to ensure the success rate of the mission and his own safety, he must do everything to the extreme, and he has indeed done this in the past.

But today's target is only a young master who has just broken through the martial artist level, and he is still seriously injured during the day.

In addition, the process of fighting with the woman in the afternoon really made him have an endless aftertaste, so the short man really couldn't completely calm down.

In this case, the best way is to complete the task as soon as possible, and then leave as soon as possible, so as not to delay for a long time and other accidents.

The stout man thought to himself, and the dagger in his hand was about to pierce his target's neck.

Distracted at the critical moment of the mission, he thought that this was actually the first time such a situation had occurred for a short and stout man.

Therefore, the short man was faintly uneasy in his heart.

"Poof!"

The dagger stabbed smoothly into the target's neck, but the feeling of the stab was something wrong.

The short man was slightly stunned, and then his heart was alarmed!

Fooled!

Subconsciously wanted to let go of the dagger and retreat, but before he could react, the quilt on the bed had already lifted directly and shrouded him!

The short man was startled, and instinctively retreated backwards, but as soon as his body moved, he only retreated less than two steps, and his back was suddenly imprinted by a palm!

Without giving him any chance to fight back, the palm printed on his back had already vomited with vitality, and the short man was shocked, his eyes suddenly lost focus, and he fell straight to the ground.

At the same time, Xuehe walked down from the bed, while Bloody Hand withdrew his palm, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time towards Xia Fan, who had been sitting in the guest chair in the bedroom and watched the scene in front of them
