At noon, Fang Zi'an woke up, and after eating something briefly, Fang Zi'an went out for a walk around to check the surrounding movements. There was nothing unusual in the alleys and streets on the left, and the people were busy with their own livelihoods, and no one noticed what was happening to others. Everything looks peaceful.

There are more mooncake stalls and Mid-Autumn Festival supplies on the streets. Fang Zi'an suddenly realized that today is the fourteenth day of the first month, and tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month. This actually doesn't mean much to Fang Zi'an, originally this year's Mid-Autumn Festival didn't have to be alone, but under the current situation, Fang Zi'an can't contact anyone.

When he came back yesterday evening, Fang Zi'an had already passed by the 'Come Again' noodle shop and greeted Chunni and Lao Zhangtou, saying that he was going to leave for a few days to visit a friend. Therefore, the Mid-Autumn Festival cannot be celebrated together. Chunni was still a little disappointed, of course, she also accepted this fact under Fang Zi'an's appeasement.

Although everything was calm, Fang Zi'an knew in his heart that there might be hidden eyes staring at his every move, but he didn't notice it for the time being. But Fang Zi'an didn't care at all. Even if there are secret watchers, they don't want to let themselves find out, so they can only stay away from themselves. Because if they get close to their own left, or even enter their own courtyard, they will definitely discover their whereabouts by their own means of counter-reconnaissance. Not being able to detect them means that even if they are stalking, they are far away, just confirming that they are not at home. As long as they can't see what they're doing, Fang Zi'an won't care about them.

So Fang Zi'an returned home, did nothing, moved a bamboo mat and put it in the hall to lie down and sleep. Autumn is high and cool, the air is full of osmanthus fragrance, the weather is not cold and not hot, it is the best time to recharge and sleep well. In the evening, he got up and went out for a walk, and when he pretended to sit down and rest at the stone mill at the entrance of the alley, Fang Zi'an groped for the gap under the stone mill, but there was nothing. That means that the other party will not do anything tonight.

As soon as it got dark, Fang Zi'an turned into a night owl again and began to get busy again. Yesterday, there were still some arrangements that could not be perfected, taking advantage of the dim moonlight, so as not to be watched, so as soon as possible to make some improvements. There was nothing to say all night, and at noon the next day, Fang Zi'an woke up from sleep, and when he came to the window and opened the window, his expression suddenly became solemn.

These days are sunny and crisp days, but at the moment, the sky is gloomy. Lead-gray clouds obscured the daylight and were dull and gloomy. Today's Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 was originally a good day to enjoy the moon and reunite, but today's sky is so gloomy, I don't know how many people who are ready to enjoy the moon and drink wine and chant poetry tonight will be disappointed. If the clouds do not disperse in the evening, there will be no moon to enjoy, and it will be a disappointing Mid-Autumn Festival.

But for Fang Zi'an, what he is worried about is not whether he can see the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but after the weather is gloomy, there is no moon tonight, and it will be a dark night. That might mean someone is going to take action on themselves tonight.

Fang Zi'an's mood was a little worried, but he also had some expectations. It's like when I officially went on a mission after joining the army for the first time, I was nervous and excited at the same time. The mood is somewhat similar to the one I felt at the beginning.

A few hours later, it began to rain. The autumn rain continued, although it was not heavy, but it completely announced that this August 15 was basically in vain. Autumn rains are not summer rainstorms, and once they rain, they will last for a long time. It can be concluded that there will be no moon tonight. Before dark, Fang Zi'an approved his clothes and went out to the mouth of the alley, pretending to look at the rain scene on the street and sat on the stone mill in a daze, then got up and went home. By the time I got home, it was already dark. Fang Zi'an lit the candle, and under the candlelight, he unfolded the note he was holding in his hand, which was the note he had touched under the stone mill.

"Tonight's action, ten good hands, murder and arson, destroy corpses and destroy traces." There was a line of words written crookedly on the note, which was the news sent by Zheng Laoba.

After reading the note, Fang Zi'an sneered, stuffed the note into his arms, and then came to the corner of the hall with a candle, and slowly put on the equipment placed on the straw mat one by one. It didn't take long for Fang Zi'an to become a fully armed machine. The cowhide is worn tightly on the body, and a row of flying knives is neatly inserted in the hem leather bag. The large black iron dagger on the cowhide belt at his waist hung diagonally on the outer shoulder of the left head, and the blunt sword hung on the right side. Tiny bow. The crossbow was carried behind him, and a circle of hook ropes was carried diagonally on his body. The two big hands have been put on the King Kong Finger Tiger Sleeve, the wrist and knee pads have all been put on, and the mille-feuille shoes under the feet have been replaced by a pair of leather boots.

After everything was equipped, Fang Zi'an's whole person had completely changed. It was as if an ordinary person had suddenly transformed into a super soldier, and the tall figure stood in the middle of the room like a black iron tower. The tall shadows on the wall swayed under the candle flames, like a huge monster armed to the teeth with thorns all over its body.

The autumn rain was still falling, and the air was filled with the smell of earth and the scent of cinnamon and chrysanthemum. In the market, due to the autumn rain, various activities to admire the moon have been canceled, and the lantern festival in the market has also ended hastily due to the continuous rain. Although the people have Yaxing, they have no choice but to look at the sky and sigh. After the second watch, the streets soon became quiet and desolate. Except for the Qinglou Song Shop Washe Hook Fence, which is always lively, there are few people in other places.

Sanyuanfang is a slum, and there is no lively activity in the first place. Even if there is a big temple fair and lantern festival, it is held in the main blocks of the city, and if you want to join in the fun, you have to go to the streets of the city. Tonight, of course, the silence has fallen early. After the second watch, there was no trace of any people in the alleys and streets.

At this moment, more than a dozen black shadows came from the street like ghosts, and their footsteps made a slight crackling sound as they stepped on the wet ground. They soon came to the small street at the entrance of Xinghua Hutong, and the first person raised his palm, and everyone stopped, and ten heads with hats on their heads came together.

"It's all for Lao Tzu to listen to, be neat with your hands and feet, and kill people first and then set fire to them after you go in. There are many fires, and no one can save the fire. After the event, Wan Chunyuan went to receive the reward. The fifth prince listened to the music in Wanchun Garden, and was waiting for our news by the way. Tonight it will be done neatly, with a reward of thirty taels of silver per person, and you can make whatever you want to drink and play with women. Do you understand everything? The man in the coat with the hat shouted in a low voice.

"Understood, don't worry, boss." Everyone said.

"It's not easy to get started. After a while, you will all rest, and I will go in alone and kill people and set fires. A poor measure is also worth such a big move. One replied in a low voice.

"Don't be careless, you can't make a mistake, in case you miss, you will make a fuss and alarm the forbidden army patrolling the city, then you can't eat and walk around. You all know in your hearts that once we are caught by the forbidden army patrolling the city, the fifth prince will not be able to save us, and we will be dead. Therefore, killing people and setting fire to others must not be careless. The man in black in the lead shouted in a low voice.

"Okay, just listen to the leader." Everyone nodded.

After a while, Lao Ma Lao Chen went to the back door to block it, and Lao Wang Lao Sun went to the front yard to block it. The rest went in with Lao Tzu to kill people and set fires, and if that guy jumped out and wanted to run, you would cut him down directly at the front and back doors. Do you get it? ”

"Got it!" Humane.

"Okay." The leader waved his hand. Everyone scattered and was about to touch the alley, when they heard a person whisper: "That...... Boss, can I block the door outside? I had a bad stomach during the day, and my legs and feet were a little weak, and I was afraid that I would not be able to be neat enough after entering. ”

The leader frowned and glanced at him, and scolded: "Damn, Zheng Laoba, you have a lot to do." I knew I had to act at night, and I fucking ate my stomach. The puppy didn't mean it. ”

"It's really careless, hey, I don't want to. You can't hold your brothers back. Otherwise, I'll give a reward of ten taels of silver and ask my brother to eat and drink to make amends, okay? It was Zheng Laoba who spoke.

"That's what it sounds like. That's it, you and Sun Laosi are guarding the gate of the front yard, and Lao Wang will follow me in. The leader said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, thank you." Zheng Laoba's face buried under the hat stretched out, and he breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.

"Let's go!" The leader in black waved his hand, and everyone rushed in along the alley wall, and soon, sneaky figures came to the Fang family's courtyard at the end of the alley.

The leading man in black gestured, and the two men nodded, and lightly touched the back door from the side to the back door and bowed down. At the gate of the front yard, Zheng Laoba and Sun Laosi also guarded the courtyard door one left and one right.

The leading man slowly drew the blade from his waist, and the other five people also drew their blades. Although the night was dark, when the blade was flipped, the cold light still flickered, which was terrifying.

"Up!" The leading man shook his head at a person, and the man stepped forward to the steps of the small courtyard, reached out to touch the courtyard door, and gently pushed it, but the courtyard door was not bolted, and he came silently. There was no light in the courtyard, and under the faint light of the sky, the black shadow of the main house of the small courtyard was more than twenty steps away, sitting there quietly, looking like a giant sitting there watching the people at the gate of the courtyard.

"Rubbing what? Above! The leading man scolded in a low voice, and the man who pushed the door no longer hesitated and stepped into the door.
