Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

Xiao Yi entered the room and found that the candles were still lit, the flames swaying gently in the breeze, casting a dim, eerie light on the room.

He sneered inwardly, "They're really careful!"

The fact that the lights are still on in the dead of night suggests that this leader, Zhang Fei, is indeed a cautious and meticulous person.

The fact that someone is afraid to even turn off the lights when they sleep indicates that they have done many bad things.

He spotted Xu Xiaosi dozing off at the small table right away.

The kid's head was nodding off, and he was snoring softly. His drool was almost dripping onto his clothes.

Xiao Yi shook his head disdainfully. This kind of trash doesn't deserve to keep watch.

They probably don't even know their head has been cut off!

Then he shifted his gaze to the bed, where he saw a person lying on their side, covered with a thin blanket, their face obscured, and it was unclear whether they were asleep or awake.

Xiao Yi didn't care about anything else; he just wanted to get rid of this nuisance first.

He moved quietly, like a cat at night, and silently walked up behind Xu Xiaosi, patting him on the back.

Xu Xiaosi groggily opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused, and mumbled incoherently, "Who is it..."

"Aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night...?"

"You're about to die, and you're still thinking about sleeping!"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yi raised his hand and brought down the knife. The sharp dagger flashed in the candlelight and sliced ​​through Xu Xiaosi's neck.

Xu Xiaosi's eyes widened suddenly, and he opened his mouth, but before he could even utter a sound, his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, blood flowing down his neck and spreading on the ground.

It was truly shocking to see in the dead of night!

Most people would probably be terrified if they saw this.

Having survived countless trials and tribulations, Xiao Yi had witnessed countless bloody and gruesome scenes, so he was not afraid at all.

This was a scene he was used to.

Xiao Yi looked at the corpse on the ground, curled his lip in disdain, and said, "Ugh, how boring!"

Just die!

With this kind of scum, you think you can keep your master?

What a joke!

He sneered, wiped the blood off the dagger with Xu Xiaosi's clothes, and strode towards the bedside.

Just then, the person on the bed suddenly turned over, opened their eyes, stared straight at him, and spoke: "Who are you?"

Why did you come to assassinate the leader?

Xiao Yi paused, his brows furrowing slightly.

He was wearing a black night suit and his face was covered, so the other person couldn't see his face.

But Xiao Yi saw clearly that the person lying on the bed was not Zhang Fei, the leader of the gang.

This was a completely unfamiliar face, in his thirties, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, and eyes that revealed cunning and fear.

Xiao Yi immediately understood.

That bastard Zhang Fei is hiding!

"Who I am is not for you to know."

Xiao Yi's voice was as cold as winter ice.

"Just tell me, where is the boss hiding?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xiao Yi flashed forward, his speed astonishing, and in the blink of an eye he was already in front of the man.

The cold dagger was pressed directly against his neck, its blade close to his skin; with just a little force, it could slit his throat.

"Hero, spare my life!"

"Hero, spare my life!"

The man was so frightened that he trembled all over and his face turned deathly pale.

"I……

I don't know where the leader is either!

It's him……

He arranged for me to lie here, to pretend I was his...

"Have mercy, sir! I'm just a servant..."

The man was so frightened that he immediately begged for mercy!

I don't know if I'm really scared or just pretending!

Xiao Yi's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that he had been tricked.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard a "whoosh" and two or three burly men suddenly rushed out from behind the screen and the curtain, holding sharp blades and surrounding him in a triangular formation.

The man who had been terrified moments before suddenly changed his tune upon seeing his helpers arrive, bursting into laughter: "You little beast, you can't escape!"

Why don't you just surrender?

I'll beg the boss to have mercy and spare your dog's life!

He thought Xiao Yi would be afraid, beg for mercy, and obediently put down the dagger.

Unfortunately, he was wrong.

The next second, Xiao Yi twisted his wrist, and the blade flashed across the surface.

"laugh……"

Blood gushed out, instantly staining the bedding and sheets red.

The man's laughter stopped abruptly, his eyes widened like saucers, and he collapsed in disbelief.

Xiao Yi slowly and deliberately wiped the blood from the knife onto the dead man, his movements as elegant as if he were polishing a precious work of art.

Then he took the dagger in his hand and casually played with it, the blade gleaming with a chilling light in the candlelight.

"You talk too much nonsense."

The three burly men inside the room immediately changed their expressions.

Having been bandits for so many years, they had killed people and seen blood, and considered themselves ruthless characters who had tasted blood.

But this young man in front of them kills without batting an eye; he's even more ruthless than them!

"you……

You're a monster!

He killed someone in the blink of an eye!

Without even asking...

One of them boldly pointed at Xiao Yi, but his voice trembled uncontrollably.

"Are you the thief who stole the boss's things?"

"Hand over the stuff right now, and the boss might spare your life!"

Another person chimed in, but their tone clearly lacked confidence.

Xiao Yi didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, his voice as cold as a knife: "Don't fucking waste your breath on me."

Hurry up and tell your master to get out here!

otherwise……"

He raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the three of them like an icicle.

"I'll kill all three of you together."

"Killing one is the same as killing two, killing three or four is never a bad thing!"

The gaze was terrifyingly cold, and the three of them involuntarily took a step back at the same time.

But then I thought, there are three of us on our side, and the other side is just a greenhorn. What's there to be afraid of?

Suddenly, he regained his courage.

"What an arrogant brat!" The bearded man at the head of the group blushed. "We're old enough to be your fathers!"

You want to be our father? That's utterly outrageous and shows no respect for hierarchy!

Don't think that just because you have a little bit of skill, the three of us are afraid of you.

"We are the bandits of Tiger Head Stronghold, and who in the martial world doesn't tremble with fear at the mere mention of our name?"

A scarred man next to him chimed in, "That's right!"

"Apologize and kowtow to us now, and we might spare your life!"

The third, tall and thin man laughed even more wildly: "A greenhorn, he's really like a toad yawning—what a big mouth!"

"Quickly kowtow and beg for forgiveness, and we might put in a good word for you with the boss and give you a way out!"

"Hahaha……"

The three of them laughed in unison, their laughter echoing through the room.

They didn't believe Xiao Yi could defeat three people.

They are among the best fighters in the village. Three of them against one, wouldn't they have a sure win?

Xiao Yi's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile so cold it sent chills down one's spine.

"Then bring it on."

"Give it a try!" He stood ramrod straight, the dagger in his hand remaining perfectly still.
