Lu Zhaoling turned her head to look at the source of the voice, and saw Lord Chen running into her sight with a deadly look on his face, looking so eye-catching.

"hiss!"

Lu Zhaoling couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Mr. Chen, ah..."

Not to mention Lord Chen, even Prince Jin and others felt their backs chilled by her reaction.

Prince Jin immediately grabbed her shoulders.

"Speaking properly, why are you calling someone with your voice changing eight tones? What's wrong with that?"

Not only did her voice change eight pitches, she also stretched out the ending note for so long that it was almost longer than Lord Chen's life.

They all had this reaction, not to mention the person involved, Lord Chen.

Lord Chen's legs suddenly went weak and he couldn't even take a step. He stood there trembling.

"Miss Lu, please don't scare me. What's wrong with me?" His voice was trembling. "Is there something dirty on my shoulder? Or is there something following me from behind? Or is there a little devil pulling my ankle? Why can't I walk..."

By the time he got to the end, Mr. Chen was about to cry.

Lu Zhaoling was at a loss for words for a moment.

Although it was quite scary not to see Master Chen look so dead for a few days, but he was still alive, wasn't he? There was no need to be so scared.

"Don't worry, Master Chen. There is nothing dirty on your shoulders, nothing is following you, and there is no little devil pulling your ankle..."

Lu Zhaoling looked down at his feet and pointed, "But you tripped over a dead vine."

Everyone followed her finger and looked towards Lord Chen's feet. Sure enough, they saw a dry vine tied around his ankle. If he walked any further he would be tripped.

Master Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled his foot out, but then he thought again that something was wrong. There must be something wrong! Otherwise, how could Miss Lu have reacted like that just now?

"Miss Lu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm ready. I'll hold on to this tree."

Lord Chen leaned against a nearby tree, supported himself with both hands, and stood firmly with his legs slightly apart. He looked at Lu Zhaoling pitifully, as if he was ready to withstand a huge blow.

Lu Zhaoling was silent for a moment.

How do you say this?

If you say it's serious, the person is not dead yet, but if you say it's a minor matter, he will probably die if you ignore him.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Prince Jin.

Prince Jin strangely understood what she meant. "It's hard to say? Just tell me and I'll pass it on."

"When I look at Lord Chen's face, I see dark clouds over his head and a deathly aura surrounding him. He looks like he will not live past midnight." Lu Zhaoling said in a low voice.

The corner of Prince Jin's mouth twitched.

Don’t say it, don’t say it, if you say it, it will really expose Chen Deshan’s true feelings.

You speak so harshly!

"Miss Lu, Your Majesty, please stop whispering to each other." Lord Chen was anxious.

Lu Zhaoling gave Prince Jin a look.

Come on, don't you want to convey it? She could have said it herself, but he insisted on conveying it on her behalf.

"Ahem. Chen Deshan." Prince Jin spoke.

"I am here, Your Majesty?" you said.

"Didn't you go to look for Lin Rong just now? Why did you come back alone? What happened?"

The King of Jin took a detour.

Lu Zhaoling suddenly found it funny.

Qingyin and Qingbao looked at Prince Jin. They felt that the prince was speaking in a very tight tone now.

I didn't talk much before.

Master Chen shook his head. "I didn't find Master Lin. Someone said that Master Lin and his men went inside. I followed them for a while, thinking that if I could catch up with him, I would call Master Lin out. But after walking for a while, I came to a three-way intersection. I had no idea where he went, so I came back by myself."

Lu Zhaoling only asked after hearing this, "Did Lord Chen pick up something at the fork in the road?"

When he heard her ask this, Master Chen's eyes widened in shock, "How did Miss Lu know this?"

He looked left and right, something was wrong, no one should have told her, and his men didn't come.

"Lu Er said you won't survive three o'clock in the morning." Prince Jin said coldly.

"What! Touch?!" Lord Chen was so frightened that he could not speak clearly.

Can’t survive past three o’clock?

"Miss Lu Er, please don't scare me!"

Lu Zhaoling said helplessly, "What did you pick up? Take it out and show it to me."

Lord Chen was in a hurry. He took out the thing stuffed in his sleeve pocket and held it in front of Lu Zhaoling with trembling hands.

"This is it."

As soon as the things were taken out, Lu Zhaoling sighed.

She reached out and took it.

It was a red purse, bright red, without any embroidery, and tied with a black rope.

He untied the rope and poured out the contents, which were three golden beans and a ring made of pure gold and inlaid with a jasper.

It was obvious that the ring was not new. The red gold carvings had some marks of time and some scratches. However, the oval jasper inlaid in it was moist and had a very good luster, and the green color was very pure.

Prince Jin looked at Lord Chen and said, "Chen Deshan, you are really not afraid of death."

"No, no, no, Your Highness. I am afraid of death." Lord Chen pinched his sleeves and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.

"Then you dare to pick up anything?"

"Your humble servant, I am just keeping it for now. I am not trying to take it for myself. I just thought that there is no one else here in this desolate mountain area. Could it be Miss Qiu's thing? Once I find Miss Qiu, I will naturally return it to its original owner." Lord Chen lowered his head and did not dare to look at Prince Jin.

"Do you think I believe your nonsense?" King Jin said coldly.

First of all, this purse is made of low-quality cloth, and it’s so red. It’s made of red cloth with a black rope, without any embroidery or decoration, and the stitching is ordinary. No normal person has ever seen something like this.

Furthermore, it would be believable to use such a poor purse with some copper coins or worthless things in it, but inside it were gold beans and a red gold and jasper ring of excellent quality. Would someone with these things use such a purse?

The style of this ring is not what young girls like. Why is Miss Qiu wearing this ring?

Another point--

"You said you were chasing Lin Rong, so Lin Rong must have passed the three-way intersection before you. Why do you think he didn't pick it up?" King Jin asked back.

If Chen Deshan could see such a bright red purse, there was no way Lin Rong could not see it.

Lord Chen lowered his head in embarrassment, "I admit my guilt."

He is a little greedy, but he only returns lost items and doesn't do anything bad.

"Miss, what's wrong with this purse?" Qingbao asked.

Lu Zhaoling turned the purse over.

"Look."

When I turned the purse over, I found that the inside was yellow and had talismans drawn on it!

"Ah!" Lord Chen exclaimed.

"And this." Lu Zhaoling took the ring again, pulled out the hairpin and pried the jade. The jade was pried out at once, with a small ball of hair tangled inside!

"Oh my god! This, this, this..."

Lord Chen turned pale.

Before, when he was looking at the ring, he happily estimated how much silver it was worth. Now he felt that he was really wasting his life.
