The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Qingbao not only discovered the smell of blood over there, but also that the fog on this path seemed to be a little thinner, which was very strange.

Sun Jiu and the yamen runner were also beside her. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Prince Jin and Lu Zhaoling were still in front of them.

That’s great, we didn’t lose or get separated.

If they lost Prince Jin at this time, they would have to worry about finding another nobleman. If something happened to Prince Jin, they would be in great trouble.

But if they lose Miss Lu, they will be unsure and don’t know if they can get out of this fog.

(Prince Jin: Are you polite? Do you think Lu Er is your savior?)

Lu Zhaoling and Prince Jin walked to Qingbao's side, and indeed saw a faint path in the mist. This was a path made by trampling grass. The trees on both sides were still lush, but the trees on this side were slightly different -

"These trees are covered with vines." King Jin also noticed this difference.

It is not surprising that grass vines rely on big trees for growth and climb on them. They are also common in the woods. The strange thing is that they are not seen in other places, but here. There are so many vines that some tree trunks are almost completely entangled.

Lu Zhaoling approached the nearest tree and got closer to take a look.

“These vines are densely covered with tiny flowers.”

But these flowers are green, and the petals are half-covered and not fully open, like broken stars. You can't tell that they are flowers unless you look closely.

"Miss Lu, I once heard a prisoner talk about a flower that emits a scent that has the ability to purify dust. It's quite powerful. If you plant some more of it at home and leave it alone for a year, there will be no dust in the house. I don't know if it's true."

Sun Jiu suddenly remembered this incident.

Occasionally, there would be some strange prisoners in the jail. For example, that prisoner said that he had traveled far and wide and had seen a lot. He had run around everywhere in the vast world outside and had even encountered birds and beasts in the mountains and forests without dying. But once he entered the capital, he offended a powerful official and was put in jail.

Sometimes when they were bored, they would listen to the prisoner talking and bragging.

This is what they heard from the prisoner, but they didn't believe it at the time.

Now the fog on this path was obviously thinner, and the surrounding fog strangely did not spread towards this side. Sun Jiu didn't know why he thought of this in his mind.

"You mean, the flowers of this vine can also purify the fog?" asked King Jin.

Sun Jiu also felt it was a bit ridiculous and didn't know how to answer.

However, before he could answer, Lu Zhaoling had already spoken.

"It's more like it releases a substance that slightly changes the surrounding air, so the fog can't condense nearby and dissipates instead. That's why the fog around this path seems thin like now."

Lu Zhaoling had already walked onto the path. "This patch of trees is covered with this vine. It has many flowers, and releases more substances. Someone must have discovered this, so they chose this side on purpose."

"After walking here so many times, a path has been trampled out here."

After hearing Lu Zhaoling's words, everyone immediately followed her.

Qing Bao asked, "Miss, do you mean to say that there have always been people walking in this forest?"

“Now it seems that it is true.”

Sun Jiu and the bailiff looked at each other.

If it were a human, they wouldn't be so scared!

I was very scared the whole time, thinking it was some kind of mountain spirit or ghost, and I thought it was really some scary strange fog.

"There is blood here." Qingbao pointed to a small pool of blood on the ground. Apart from this pool of blood, there was some blood dripping intermittently on the road ahead.

The bloody smell I smelled just now came from here.

King Jin looked at it and said, "Someone must have been injured here. The injury was serious. A small pool of blood soon flowed out. Then he covered the wound and continued to move forward."

"Strange, if he was injured here, shouldn't there be signs of a fight here?" Qing Bao squatted on the ground and looked, "I can't see any footprints, but there are no signs of a fight around."

"Have you forgotten what Qingfeng is good at?" King Jin asked back.

Qing Bao suddenly realized and remembered, "Sleeve Arrow?"

Yes, in addition to the long sword, Qing Feng also has a powerful weapon, which is the poisoned sleeve arrow.

Moreover, when they were practicing martial arts, they also heard that Qing Feng's sleeve arrows were specially made with hidden hooks. Once they pierced into the flesh, the hidden hooks would bounce off, causing heavy bleeding.

"It seems that Qingfeng was with Lord Lin and the others, and the injured person might be the wild man that Sun Jiu mentioned."

Lu Zhaoling continued to walk forward and said to Qingbao, "Pull some of these vines with flowers and take them with us. They might be of some benefit."

When everyone heard her words, they thought it made sense and immediately started pulling the vines that were full of small flowers.

After Sun Jiu and the yamen runners pulled it out, they tied it around their waists and arms.

Qingbao also pulled a lot of them. When she was busy and picked up a bunch of them and turned around to give Lu Zhaoling a handful, the King of Jin was just winding up a big vine wreath in his hand. He pinched the broken end inward, picked it up and shouted at Lu Zhaoling.

"Lu Er."

"what?"

Lu Zhaoling turned around after hearing the voice.

A wreath was thrown towards her, and it hit her head accurately and fell on her neck.

"for you."

Lu Zhaoling looked down at her huge "collar" and was speechless for a moment.

"Your craftsmanship is really quite crude." She was powerless to complain.

Besides, even if you want to make such a big collar for her, can't you come over and put it on her gently and "gently"?

He is putting a circle here!!!

Qing Bao wanted to laugh for some reason, "Miss, this should be the first time the prince has done something like this."

"I thank him."

Qingbao got an inspiration and quickly made two bracelets for Lu Zhaoling and put them on her arms.

Lu Zhaoling felt that he was like a vine monster, but when he looked up, he saw that Sun Jiu and the other man had almost wrapped around his body, making them look more like two vine spirits.

She burst out laughing and immediately felt that this was okay for her.

"Your Highness, can I make two for you as well?" Qing Bao asked Prince Jin.

King Jin glanced at it with disdain and said, "I don't want it."

Who knows how dirty these vines are that have been growing on trees for years? Who knows how many poisonous snakes have crawled over them? Who knows if there are any bugs? Who knows how many times bird droppings have fallen on them?

He couldn't accept it psychologically because they were all around him.

He walked a few steps closer to Lu Zhaoling, "I can just use Lu Er."

"Using it?" Lu Zhaoling was so angry that she laughed. She was quite honored?

"Hurry up and go." King Jin opened his big hand, pinched her head and turned her around, pushing her forward, "It's getting dark."
