Coming out of the backyard, Xu Anping went straight back to the room. Since he became the "red man" in front of Miss Deng and the little young master, the other three people in the room have moved away one after another. Looking at the empty room, he was also used to it, after all, assassins usually walked alone. He closed the door tightly and lowered the deadbolt and lay down on the bed without taking off his clothes, closing his eyes and thinking about what was going to happen next. "Since the county commander Li Weiwei and Tian Huaying have colluded, there must be some shady transactions in private. Let's start with him and see if we can catch some tricks. If you kill the magistrate, well, it's not appropriate. In the end, no matter whether Tian Huaying will be unlucky or not, this fire will definitely burn to the Deng family. ”

As soon as the ugly time arrived, Xu Anping opened his eyes, turned over and listened carefully to the movement outside, and then jumped out of the room through the window, and ran over the wall of the Deng family's courtyard again and ran directly towards the county government along the alley. When he arrived near the back gate of the county office, looking at the high courtyard wall and the footsteps and bangs of the vigil officials coming from time to time in the courtyard, Xu Anping frowned and was a little embarrassed. It's almost impossible to sneak in without alerting anyone. Thinking of this, he suddenly had a plan in his heart, turned around and went to the courtyard of a wealthy family not far away, climbed over the wall and stole two oil lamps and a few clothes, and then came to the east of the county government hall near the house. Xu Anping poured the lamp oil on the clothes together, lit them and threw them into the courtyard, and then ran towards the backyard of the county government. When he reached the vicinity of the backyard, he heard the sound of the official beating the gong, "It's water, it's water, come and put out the fire!" ”

At this time, the official is also strange, a few days ago, the house burned once, and the county lord has already beaten the duty officer of the house, did they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall again? Or is there something shady going on in there? Of course, although the other officials rushed over and shouted after hearing this, few of them were really fighting the fire. On the one hand, everyone is clear in their hearts, and if they save something that shouldn't be saved, they will not only fail well, but also offend people. On the other hand, the uncles in the household usually walk with eyes that want to grow to the top of their heads, and everyone can't wait to see them laugh.

The county commander Li Wei had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by the noise outside, and he was suddenly a little annoyed, and just remembered to teach these unsuccessful things a lesson, when he heard a rapid knock on the door outside.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Are you awake? There is an urgent matter to report to the subordinates. Master Shen was very anxious, he didn't know why the county government was on fire again, and it was still burning the house. If the Tianmu materials are burned, then the proprietor will also be sent to Beijing, and he will also be a companion.

Li Weiwei got up and opened the door in his nightgown, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" In the middle of the night, the whole county government was noisy, what kind of system! ”

Master Shen lowered his voice and said, "My lord, is the house on fire again?" ”

"What? Didn't it already burn last time, and what did you arrange to do this time? Li Wei thought that this time it was arranged by Master Shen, although he felt a little surprised, but there was no violent reaction.

When Master Shen heard the proprietor say this, the sweat on his forehead came out all of a sudden, and he said with a sad face: "The proprietor, I didn't arrange it this time!" I'm worried that the information on the acres of the house has been burned, and I have already asked people to put out the fire. ”

Li Weiwei was shocked and couldn't help but raise his voice. "What! Can something like a house catch fire? Who is on duty today? I'm going to have to skin them! As he spoke, he grabbed his slippers and walked quickly towards the front yard.

Xu Anping had already climbed over the courtyard wall of the backyard when the house was on fire, hid in the grass in the garden, and was ready to sneak into the study after seeing the two people leave in a hurry. He opened the door with an embroidery needle, went in sideways and closed it, and then groped in his study. He didn't know what form Zhixian Li's only handle would be, but according to the psychology of being a thief, the more hidden things are, the more they can't see the light. So, instead of checking the contents of his desk and shelves, he kept tapping on the floor, on the walls, on the pillars in the room, the pestles, etc. Suddenly, he came across a low slump behind the bookshelf, on which a thick mattress was laid out, as if it had been used for napping. Xu Anping remembered that his body liked to hide money under the mattress, and as soon as his heart moved, he lifted the mattress and examined it carefully. He tapped the collapse with his hand, and sure enough, he noticed that there was a small part of the place where the sound was more brittle than the others, so he pried open the plank with a dagger. As expected, a thin booklet was hidden under the wooden board. He didn't care what it was, he just stuffed it into his arms and was ready to leave. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly had a bad taste, and he took a book about the same thickness from the bookshelf and put it in, covered the planks and mattresses before leaving.

As soon as Xu Anping approached the door, he heard a voice coming, "These thieves are really bold, and they actually set fire to the house!" I will teach them a lesson tomorrow. Fortunately, the fields are still intact, otherwise I would have killed them. "The proprietors are discouraged, and they should also be unintentional. A few of them are usually quite clever, and the last incident ...... "Well, then spare them this time." But tomorrow I still have to give them some flesh and skin, and they actually lied to me that someone threw a burning garment in, which is ridiculous! ”

When Li Weiwei walked through the study and found that the door was not locked, he was a little suspicious, "Did I go in again after locking the door?" As he spoke, he locked the door with his hand, preparing to wait for Master Shen to leave before going back to the study to check it.

Xu Anping heard that the door was locked, and when the county order and the master left, he hurriedly jumped out of the window and left directly as fast as possible. He took a deep breath and was about to leap up the courtyard wall when he suddenly noticed that the wind in the back of his head seemed to be hit by a heavy object. Xu Anping stubbornly pressed down the steps that were about to jump to the ground, squatted slightly with his legs and lowered his upper body, narrowly avoiding the attacking palm. Even if he insisted on practicing the internal strength method on weekdays, at this time, he felt tightness in his chest because of the disordered breath, and he almost wanted to vomit. He turned and leaned his back against the wall to take a few breaths, and drew his dagger and faced the attacker. I saw that the other party was of medium stature, slightly fat, dressed in a black night suit, holding a bright and bright long sword in his right hand, and his left hand stretched out in the shape of a palm.

Xu Anping looked at the other party, feeling a little strange in his heart, because he didn't feel the killing intent. The opponent didn't seem to be weak in martial arts but reacted a little late, not like he had a lot of experience in fighting, just like he could continue to attack himself just now and hesitated. So, he ruled out the possibility that the other party was a killer of the Blood Hand Alliance, and he couldn't help but put three points of strength in his hand.

The masked man whispered, "Hand over the things, and I'll let you go." As he spoke, he stepped on the six palaces and rushed over with a sword like a civet cat catching mice, and with a move, the tip of the sword trembled, but it never left both sides of Xu Anping's shoulder. Xu Anping didn't dare to slack off, first took two steps back, and then his right foot seemed to be rooted against the ground, holding a dagger and suddenly reaching into the sword shadow and directly hitting the opponent's sword tip three inches away, knocking the long sword off, and stabbing straight at the opponent's chest with a lunge. The masked woman seemed to be slightly fat, but her movements were very light, and while her body turned left to dodge the dagger, she attacked Xu Anping's chest in turn with a move to avoid blue and red, as if he had actively collided with the long sword. Xu Anping had no choice but to retreat again, using the cover of the trees beside him, and instead holding a dagger in his left hand like a milk swallow throwing a forest to stab at the back of the masked woman. Seeing the dagger reaching his body, he thought that although the masked woman wanted to snatch things, she didn't want to kill him, and he couldn't help but slow down the movements of his hand. At this time, the other party reacted, and with a move, the jade girl withdrew and swung her sword to protect her back, and hurriedly retreated. The two fought a few times, but they didn't do their best, since they were both aimed at the county order Li only, that is, friends are not enemies. When they heard the sound of the exchange of weapons, they both ran over the courtyard wall and into the alley next to them.

Xu Anping ran a few steps ahead, and after a while, he heard the footsteps behind him slow down, and he couldn't help but slow down.

"Who is Your Excellency? Can you leave your name and teach you later? The masked woman pretended to be hearty and asked with a full sense of energy.

Xu Anping was also stunned when he heard it, it seems that the other party is really the first time to come out to run the rivers and lakes, everyone is still doing shady things in their lives, how can there be a reason to report their names, and they are joking for a while. "Oh, in Xia Xu Ningyi, people give the nickname 'Double Dagger Without Trace'."

Fang Xiaoxiao was also dumbfounded after hearing this, she saw that the other party's martial arts were good, so she wanted to make friends like what was said in the martial arts romance, but she didn't expect this person to be so sincere, and directly reported it with her name and surname and nickname. Thinking that he didn't have a loud nickname again, it seemed to be too weak, and he was very distressed, so he groaned for a while and hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be Brother Xu, I have been looking up for a long time!" Below Xiaoxiao, the people of the rivers and lakes are called 'Pear Blossom Rain Sword'. Since everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, I won't compete with you for the only thing in Li. After saying that, she was overjoyed, and she was also conquered by her own IQ.

Xu Anping almost laughed out loud when he heard this nickname, this is obviously just taken, isn't it? He didn't say much, arched his hand and said, "There will be a period later!" Then he turned a few alleys and climbed over a few courtyard walls to return to Deng's house.

The Deng family's compound is still quiet. Xu Anping entered the courtyard and calmed down inexplicably. "She's supposed to be asleep, right? I don't know who is decorating her dreams. ”
