Chapter 10 The Bizarre Case of Shang Luowu

In such a snowy weather, there is also a rider on the official road leading to Yanzhou, hurrying to the road......

Yu Xun stepped on the yellow horse, is a horse from the north of the horse, the horse is very good, the horse is very strong, plus he is like an arrow, all the way to the horse gallop, and finally arrived at Shangluowu at noon on the eighth day after leaving Juyanzhou City.

Shangluowu was built on the Longdong Mountain in the northeast suburbs of Shangluo City, Henan Province, and was originally a private fort built by a large local family.

For this purpose, Shangluowu was built on the mountain, standing majestically from a distance, and the outer walls are very solid and thick, it is indeed an extremely difficult to conquer fortified castle!

Yu Xun rode up the hill and galloped straight towards the dock gate along the mountain road in front of the dock fort.

When he approached the dock gate, he saw the suspension bridge in front of the door rising high -- across him was a deep ravine, which could not be crossed at all! Yu Xun immediately went to the edge of the ravine, and tried his best to shout loudly, but there was a dead silence inside the dock gate, and there was no response at all.

As soon as he saw such a situation in front of him, Yu Xun's brain was in a hurry, and he immediately had an idea! He quickly turned over and dismounted, and tied the reins to a small tree......

Then, carrying a bag of dry food and weapons, Yu Xun hiked up the hillside to the right of the dock fort...... In a few moments, he was digging into the dense elm grove on the slope!

For the three brothers of the Yu family, who grew up in Shangluowu, few people are more familiar with everything around Wubao than they are-

When they were young, the brothers often secretly went outside to play in the mountains and forests, so they were very familiar with the surrounding environment.

Due to the extremely strict family rules of the Yu family, the dock door is always opened and closed on time every day, and they will definitely not be able to enter if they miss the moment when the door is closed. But it didn't bother them, these playful and playful children had long since discovered a secret passage that allowed them to sneak into the dock.

Now, Yu Xun is preparing to use that secret passage once again to bypass the gate and enter the dock directly.

After drilling around in the elm forest, after seven bends and eight twists, Yu Xun finally found a big stone shaped like a crouching tiger!

Soon, he found the smaller stone lump near the "Stone Tiger", and after painstakingly moving it away, a small hole appeared in the weeds that only one person could drill down!

Yu Xun used thick branches to stir up the weeds around the cave entrance for a while, and then poked a few more times into the cave - after confirming that there were no poisonous snakes and other wild pests lurking, he leaned down and burrowed into the hole, and walked through the secret passage with his hands and feet......

After walking for about a stick of incense, I saw some light appear in front of me, Yu Xun pulled out the vines covering the entrance of the cave with his hand, jumped lightly, and found that the place where he landed was already a corner of the dock fort!

Seeing the silence around him, Yu Xun quickly discerned the direction, and tiptoed along the base of the wall to the west, vigilantly tiptoeing forward. After walking about thirteen or fourteen zhang away, Yu Xun came to the back of a hut.

Yu Xun quietly looked in through the back window of the room—and after just that glance, he hurriedly shrank his head down, squatting under the window and listening quietly......

Because just now, he suddenly found that there was Uncle Fan, the janitor of the Yu family, sitting in the gatehouse—fortunately, he was facing the direction of the door!

This Uncle Fan is of the same generation as his grandfather and is the oldest old servant of the Yu family.

Yu Xun has always been the most cautious and alert, but now that he saw Uncle Fan obviously safe and sound, he suddenly had doubts in his heart: Why didn't he come to open the door just now?

Yu Xun felt that there must be something strange inside, so he hurriedly hid to prevent the other party from noticing...... He wanted to spy on it - so that he could make an accurate judgment of the situation!

After squatting like this for about a quarter of an hour, Yu Xun never heard any movement.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious again in his heart, so he slowly raised his body and looked into the house again - only to see that Uncle Fan still retained his original posture, and he should have never moved!

Yu Xun was very surprised, and deliberately coughed lightly - and the janitor was still unconscious, and his body was still unmoving!

Yu Xun really couldn't wait any longer, he immediately strode around to the front of the room - he broke in directly through the door!

And when he took a closer look, he saw that although Uncle Fan in front of him was pale, his whole body was obviously ossified...... Looking at it like this, he should have walked without the slightest pain.

Now the question is: what is that thing that can kill him in an instant?

Yu Xunqiang endured his great grief, approached the gatekeeper's body, and carefully examined it several times.

In the end, he finally discovered something: there was a silver needle as thin as a hair, impartially pierced on the center of Uncle Fan's eyebrows - if he didn't look closely, he would have thought it was just a white hair!

Although Yu Xun is young, he has not never seen the world - besides, the Yu family was originally a famous martial arts family, and he naturally heard about the affairs of the rivers and lakes since he was a child......

With such a tiny silver needle hidden weapon, Yu Xun thinks that as far as the greatest possibility is concerned, it should have something to do with the "White Fox Charm" Bai Ying, who is the most good at poisoning the body of the Chiyou Cult in the Western Regions!

"White Fox Charm" Bai Ying is obsessed with concocting all kinds of very special poisons, and the secret weapon she usually uses to hurt people is this tiny hair-like "Ice Spirit Silver Needle"!

Now, with this "Ice Spirit Silver Needle" as powerful physical evidence, Yu Xun believes that the disaster suffered by Shang Luowu this time must be a "good deed" done by the Chiyou Cult in the Western Regions!
