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

Lord Chen felt that he was quite unlucky.

He clearly brought people to look for Lin Rong, but they didn't find him. When heavy fog came, they were like headless flies, bumping around in the mountains.

As a result, they ran into a forest and couldn't get out.

At first they carved marks on the trees, but the fog was so thick that the marks were difficult to see, so later they drew lots to pick an unlucky person, took off his underwear, tore off strips of cloth, and used the strips to make marks.

The mark was visible, but they kept turning around and around and always ended up back at the original point.

"Sir, are we trapped in a maze?" asked a bailiff with a sad face.

"Miss Lu Er said there are no ghosts in the world."

Master Chen tried to straighten his back and said this sentence firmly. Well, it was indeed Miss Lu who said it, right?

"But we have been walking for more than half an hour and have been wandering here. Isn't this just a ghost wall?"

Lord Chen was actually also worried in his heart, he was almost dying of exhaustion.

Although they had been wandering around here for most of the hour, they had already been searching for a long time before entering this place, and they were exhausted.

"Even if it's a ghost wall, we should look for Miss Qiu in this wall. What if she also walked here and is trapped and can't get out?"

Everyone was moved after hearing what Lord Chen said. What a good official he is.

The yamen runners looked at each other, but still obeyed the order and began another round of searching for a way out, looking for Miss Qiu in the process.

And this time, they really found it——

"Sir, there is a dead body here!" a bailiff shouted.

In the bushes nearby, there was a male corpse lying, and it looked like he had been dead for about three days.

"Search him for anything on him to see who he is."

The bailiff searched and found a token, which read "Qiu".

"Sir, it should be the guard beside Miss Qiu."

Master Chen's face changed. "So Miss Qiu really came here! How did he die?"

The yamen runner checked and his face changed. "It was bitten by a poisonous snake! The poison is very strong, sir." The yamen runner jumped out of the bushes and was extremely alert. "There is a poisonous snake here."

Lord Chen secretly groaned in his heart, regretting so much. He should have asked Miss Lu to make a amulet for him as soon as possible.

He is obviously unlucky today. He has already been to the gates of hell once before. If he encounters a poisonous snake, will he be summoned by the King of Hell again?

Mr. Chen raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. "Be careful, use branches to drive away the snake, and look for it. Miss Qiu may be nearby..."

"Sir, it's getting dark. If we can't get out, we won't be able to spend the night here," said the bailiff.

They haven't eaten or drunk anything yet.

"Light the torch and call out to Lord Lin!"

Master Chen paused for a moment, then said, "Call Qingfeng again, what if he hears it?"

He decided not to save face anymore.

Everyone lit torches and shouted as they walked.

"Master Lin!"

"Master Qingfeng!"

No matter whether he is an adult or not, everyone around Prince Jin is an adult.

Come and save them!

Lord Chen didn't expect that Lu Zhaoling had also entered the mountain. If he had known, the first person he would have called would be Lu Zhaoling.

After dark, the fog became even more eerie, everything was vague and hazy, and the torches made it look like mountain spirits.

Everyone's heart was in their throat, and the shouting became more erratic, some people's shouting almost sounded like ghosts howling.

"Mr. Lin, where are you?"

"Master Qingfeng, help me!"

"Someone is coming!"

Lord Chen felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but when the branches beside him shook, his hair stood on end instantly. He opened his mouth and called out with a tremor, "Qing Feng! Lin Rong!"

Help! His calves are starting to cramp and he can hardly walk.

Now he can’t see anything, and he has to be on guard against poisonous snakes that may jump out at any time. If he gets bitten, he will have to go drinking with the King of Hell tonight!

Not only was he tired and his legs were cramping, he was also hungry.

A clear voice came from the front, "Master Chen?"

Mr. Chen froze, then jumped up in ecstasy, "Second Miss Lu, it's me, it's me, it's me! I'm here! Second Miss Lu..."

Why is Miss Lu Er here?

Great, great, he is saved!

When the King of Jin heard the ending of this sentence that seemed to have traveled back several mountains, his face turned dark.

"Chen Deshan's words are really annoying."

Lin Rong nodded in agreement. "Master Chen is old and short, and he is trying to imitate the young master's playful voice. It really doesn't match his image."

Just now he heard Lord Chen calling him "Lin Rong".

Sorry, his official position is higher than Chen Deshan. Lord Chen called him Lord Lin very respectfully in front of him, but who knew that he would call him so fiercely behind his back——

Lin Rong!

Tsk.

Qingbao held up the torch and shone it forward. Sure enough, after a while, he saw Lord Chen and his party walking into their sight.

When Lord Chen saw Lu Zhaoling, he was about to cry.

I'm not kidding, at this moment he really wanted to rush over and hug Miss Lu's legs.

But when he met the frosty eyes of Prince Jin who was standing next to Lu Zhaoling, Lord Chen was startled and stood up straight immediately.

"Your humble servant greets the Prince of Jin. How did His Majesty come in? This mountain is very strange, and His Majesty's precious body cannot be damaged in the slightest..."

"Stop talking nonsense. What's wrong with you? Why are you howling like ghosts and wolves here?" King Jin interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, I have made an important discovery!"

Lord Chen now became stiff again and started talking about the corpse of the Qiu family guard.

Lin Rong immediately took people to check it out.

"It turned out to be a guard of the Qiu family. He was bitten to death by a poisonous snake."

"Right? There are not only poisonous snakes here, but it's also very strange. We've been wandering around for half a day and haven't been able to get out..." Lord Chen said, looking at Lu Zhaoling frequently.

"Is there something wrong with your eyes?" asked the King of Jin.

"Ah, no, no, Your Majesty, I just want to ask Miss Lu if there is any way to get out."

Lu Zhaoling motioned Qingbao to give her the torch, "We are not going out. We are going inside."

Huh? Go in?

Lu Zhaoling held up the torch and shone it around. "Follow me."

She walked in front and the others followed quickly.

Lord Chen also wiped the sweat from his forehead and followed closely, wishing to be closer to Lu Zhaoling.

Lin Rong pulled him from behind, "Master Chen, the King of Jin doesn't like others to be so close to him."

Lord Chen was almost pulled down by him, and he wanted to be angry but didn't dare to.

Deep in the mountains, in a bamboo forest, candlelight shone through a bamboo house.

The few simple side dishes on the table had been cold for who knows how long.

Qingyin, with her hands and feet tied and a rag stuffed in her mouth, looked at the woman sitting at the table sewing a piece of torn clothes.

The woman raised her eyes and glanced at her.

"Want to talk?"

Qingyin nodded immediately.

"Well, I haven't been out for a long time. It's nice to hear you talk about what's happening in the city." The woman put down her things, walked over and took the rag out of her mouth.

"Your husband has been out for a long time. Aren't you worried about him? Won't you go look for him?" Qingyin asked.
