----

On the third day, when it was time to make an appointment with the shadow guard, Lu Yue went back to the house to prepare at night, selected a few hidden weapons in his baggage, stuffed them into his arms, swept a section of iron cylinder, opened the lid, and poured out the eyeball-sized iron ball inside.

Don't look at this small iron ball, this outer layer is a layer of iron powder, and it is wrapped in genuine gunpowder, which Lu Yue gave her self-defense from Xiaoliuzi.

Lu Yue directly grabbed two and carefully put them in his purse, and then hurriedly went out.

When she arrived at the mouth of the alley, the shadow guard was already waiting there, and after the two met, Lu Yue asked in a low voice, "How is the situation in the Zhang Mansion now?" ”

"Back to the princess, everything is normal." Shadow Guard said respectfully.

Lu Yue hummed lightly, "Okay, let's go~" said secretly in his heart: This time they must find out the hiding place of the refining poisoner, so that Lin Zhiwen can be defeated.

Not long after they left, the figures of Li Hu and Li Shi appeared at the corner of the street, he was going out to get up at night, but he heard Lu Yue's door creak, he thought something was wrong, and hurried over, but found that the young lady was not in the house.

Li Hu thought of a possibility, and immediately woke up Li Shi, and the two of them chased after each other quickly, and at the same time, he was frightened, and vaguely guessed what the young lady was going to do this night, because of this, he was even more worried in his heart.

On the other end, Lu Yue didn't know that there was already a tail behind her, she and Ying Wei quickly turned into the alley, speeding two streets, the two of them stabilized their feet, and their eyes glanced at Master Zhang's house opposite.

In the past few days, she has asked people to keep an eye on Zhang's mansion, and sure enough, the shadow guard has sent news that the entrance to the backyard has not been sealed.

Lu Yue visited Zhang's mansion at night, afraid that there would be too many people to startle the snake, so she didn't even bring Li Hu.

The night was vast and silent.

Lu Yue followed the shadow guard a few times to the corner of the Zhang Mansion wall, the shadow guard stretched out his hand and carefully gestured, jumped on the wall, stared at a pair of sharp eyes and looked around, after sensing that there was no danger, he beckoned to Lu Yue under the wall, Lu Yue took a few steps back, with the help of the tension of his feet, he kicked on the wall at once, the shadow guard grabbed a handful at the right time, and the next moment, Lu Yue sat firmly on the wall.

The two jumped off the wall, and Lu Yue followed the shadow guard to successfully avoid the first wave of patrolling guards, and only then did the two quietly walk out of the darkness after watching the firelight and footsteps go away.

The shadow guard led the way in front, and Lu Yue followed closely behind, tiptoeing, not daring to make any big moves.

The person came again, Lu Yue scolded in her heart, and before she could come back to her senses, she was picked up by the shadow guard and jumped to the top of the corridor.

The shadow guard's legs were tightly propped up on the edge of the carving, and Lu Yue was still holding Lu Yue under his elbows, Lu Yue's legs had nowhere to support, half-hung in the air, and his whole body was unable to exert his strength, and it didn't take long for his legs to be sore and painful, and Lu Yue's breathing was a little heavier.

Seeing that the escort was getting closer and closer to them, Lu Yue reached out and covered his mouth and nose.

Neat steps sounded in the courtyard, and without squinting, they quickly walked over.

When the people were completely over, the shadow guard grabbed Lu Yue and put it on the ground, and Lu Yue's feet hit the ground, which gave him a little solid feeling.

Lu Yue's entire back was soaked with beads of sweat, and when the cold wind blew, a chill hit her heart, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

The shadow guard looked at Lu Yue worriedly, Lu Yue waved his hand, there were lanterns under this corridor, shining brightly, standing here is not a place to talk.

The two quickly avoided the rockery, Lu Yue's blushing face felt a slight coolness, and she gasped slightly.

After a short breather, the shadow guard led Lu Yue a few steps and hurriedly crossed the arched flower gate, the rest of the road was remote after all, and they only encountered the escort once along the way.

Lu Yue felt a lot more relieved, and the two hid on the roof, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

From this angle, when you look up, you can just see many undulating rooftops in Huaibei City, all hidden in the inky night.

After a while, several waves of escorts passed under Lu Yue's eyelids, and Lu Yue was still nervous at first, but slowly his heart relaxed.

They waited for less than a quarter of an hour, and the sound of the beating bang outside sounded, "Knock~Knock~"

Sure enough, those guards left in a hurry, and the two took advantage of this opportunity to jump down quickly, quickly find the entrance, and enter the secret passage.

Lu Yue had already been here once, and she could remember a little bit about these messy passages, and she quickly led the shadow guard to the place where they were hunted down that day, and found that the corpse hidden in the shadows had disappeared, and even the blood stains on the ground had been cleaned up.

There was an eerie silence throughout the passage.

The two of them carefully observed their surroundings, and suddenly Lu Yue heard a long series of footsteps.

The two of them quickly dodged to the side, and after a long time, three or four black-clothed men appeared to escort five or six ordinary people.

Surprise flashed in Lu Yue's eyes, as soon as they were looking for this way, these black-clothed people appeared, they really had nowhere to find their iron shoes, and it didn't take any effort to get there~

They waited for the men in black to pass, and then quietly followed far behind.

Lu Yue led the way in front, and the shadow guard followed, and the two met a few people in black sporadically along the way, but fortunately, Lu Yue was witty, and every time the two of them hid quickly, they followed all the way, and those people in black didn't find out.

Soon, Lu Yue saw that the men in black stopped, they climbed up the ladder and opened the stone slab on it, and then the ordinary people were rudely pushed up by the men in black.

When the stone slab was covered again, Lu Yue climbed up the ladder, quietly opened the stone slab, leaving a crack, and watched the man in black leave.

The two of them climbed up, Lu Yue stood up and looked around carefully, this was a small forest, but Lu Yue had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

She took a closer look and suddenly realized, wasn't this the first time she and Li Hu chased the man in black to the grove?

So they kept all the poisonous people here?

Lu Yue didn't have time to think about it, so she followed the two of them and chased after them quickly, and the more she walked, the more difficult the road became.

Soon the two of them were blocked by a cliff.

No, it's all a cliff, how can they go down? Lu Yue thought about it, and the two of them investigated all the way to the edge of the cliff, but found a few very thick ropes.

Lu Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned the shadow guard to come over, and the two of them quickly went down the cliff along the rope, only to find that it was not high, and the people were just watching from above in shock, but they arrived at the bottom of the cliff after a while.

The two did not dare to climb to the end along the rope, so they rolled to the ground halfway through the rope and quickly hid in the grass.

There was a flash of fire not far away, Lu Yue pulled the shadow guard, and the two of them quickly moved forward and backward, and before they could reach the front, they heard a terrible scream.

Like evil spirits howling, a hundred ghosts weeping.

Lu Yue's hand holding the stone shook slightly, and a trace of anger rose in his heart, this Lin Zhiwen is really a bastard~

There was an iron fence gate at the entrance of the cave, and there were two black-clothed men guarding the door, Lu Yue made a look, and the shadow guard immediately hid behind the tree.

Lu Yue took out a stone from the ground, put it in his hand and weighed it twice, and threw it out quickly, the stone swept across the grass and made a rustling sound.

The two black-clothed men standing looked over quickly, and after glancing at them, they clenched the hilt of the knife in their hands and slowly moved towards Lu Yue's position.

Their eyes cautiously scanned the surroundings, and Lu Yue let out a sneer in his heart, and then looked up, and one person had been quickly eliminated by the shadow guard hiding in the shadows.

The other person heard the wind and quickly turned around, but found that his accomplice was gone, and immediately panicked, looking left and right, and the knife in his hand was about to be pulled out.

The shadow guard who suddenly jumped out of his head kicked him to the ground, and the dagger in his hand instantly touched his neck, and blood spurted out instantly.

Before he could shout, his slightly open mouth kept spitting out blood.

Lu Yue looked away, and she glanced at the shadow guard, who quickly stepped forward and pulled down a large bunch of keys from the man in black.

When they came to the cave, they quickly took out the key, compared the size of the lock, and soon found the key and opened the door.

As soon as the two of them stepped in, they instantly had the illusion of being in a prison, only to see that there were torches in the wall, and there were countless cages on both sides, and there were many people locked in them.

Or rather, they can no longer be called human beings, some of them have dull eyes, and their mouths are constantly grasping the hay on the ground to eat, and they look crazy.

Some of their eyes were blood-red, their eyeballs were about to burst out, their faces were hideous, riding on other people's bodies, opening their mouths and biting "clicking", and a cloud of flesh and blood was blurred in their eyes.

Lu Yue forcibly endured the retching in his mouth and quickly looked away.

The two of them walked over quickly, and the passages turned around like the secret passages.

If you are inside, if you are not careful, you may get lost.

The two were looking around, and suddenly heard a scream, "Ah~"

Lu Yue glanced at the shadow guard, followed the sound cautiously, and saw that on the flat ground, there was an iron plate cover, and the terrible scream came from it.

She took two steps forward and heard a rustling sound inside.

The closer I got, the clearer the sound became.

The screaming voice inside gradually weakened, Lu Yue saw the iron chain tied to the iron plate, looked at it carefully, and was about to reach out to pull it, but was held down by the shadow guard, and her eyes motioned her to look, only to see a black scorpion crawling out of the crack in the iron plate.

Lu Yue thought of the scream, and then looked at the obviously poisonous scorpion, and suddenly her scalp was numb, and even the hairs on her arms came out.

The two of them quickly took a few steps back, but the scorpion with a completely black body crawled back again, Lu Yue was thrilled to see it, and then she thought of those poisonous people, her face turned white.

They walked along the passage for a while, and then found a very large house, Lu Yue looked carefully at the top of the cave, and found that there were traces of manual chiseling, maybe Lin Zhiwen, who had lost his conscience, had been refining poison before.

There was only one man in the cage of the room, a man with a disheveled head and a tattered garment, with his back to them and his legs crossed on the ground.

Lu Yue and Ying Wei glanced at each other, she took two steps forward, and said through the sturdy cage, "Hey, are you??" ”

The man's back was as straight as ever, and not a single hair moved.

Lu Yue's eyes flashed with doubt, and she spoke again: "Can you hear me?" ”

She stepped forward, her hand on the fence, and stared closer.
