Under their nervous gazes, Lu Zhaoling led Prince Jin inside.

Qingyin and Qingbao followed immediately without saying a word.

The two officers watched with their hearts in their throats. They couldn't see it. Did it fall? It shouldn't have, otherwise how could they hear screams?

"Are you going to leave or not? If not, we will go in." Qinglin glanced at the two of them.

Seeing that all the other palace guards had whizzed past one by one, leaving only the two of them and Qinglin here, the two officials were suddenly startled!

"Let's go! Let's go now!"

We can't leave them here alone and helpless any longer!

Qinglin looked at the two of them walking in with a fearless look on their faces and said "tsk".

Look at how cowardly he is!

It's true that they are not from the palace, but they are a little bit inferior. Look at all the palace guards, none of them hesitated at all.

The two officers stepped in and their feet instantly touched solid ground.

At the same time, the fog in front of me seemed to be dissipating and becoming much thinner, so I could see the situation in the village.

They looked at each other, then looked at Lu Zhaoling and Prince Jin who had already walked ahead, and hurriedly chased after them.

It was their fault for not trusting Miss Lu Er enough. It was absolutely wrong!

From now on, if Miss Lu asked them to step on a pile of cow dung on the ground, they would do it without hesitation, because Miss Lu must have her reasons!

After Lu Zhaoling came in, he looked at the village carefully.

It's still early now, but no matter how early it is, the village shouldn't be this quiet.

It was so quiet that not even a dog barked or a chicken crowed.

Most of the houses in this village are made of earth, half stone and half straw. They are covered with tiles, but many of the tiles look insufficient or broken, so they are covered with straw.

The village looks poor.

"There is such a poor village not far from the capital?" Lu Zhaoling asked, "Has the court provided any assistance?"

Zhou Shiyue shook his head. "Some villages are conservative and xenophobic, and people are unwilling to step out of the village. They just live like this. For example, in a small mountain village far away from the town, taxes are low because they don't have much land. They may think this is fine."

Lu Zhaoling didn’t know much about the court’s affairs, but because of the villagers she had met before, she actually had no good impression of this village, so she just asked this question.

"Miss Lu, Your Majesty, my master is over there." Two officers came over and pointed in a direction.

Lu Zhaoling looked in the direction they were pointing.

"What house do you live in?"

"Yes, the villagers said that there is no one in that house, so we can stay overnight." The official said, very surprised, but why is it so quiet now? There is no one guarding the door?

Lu Zhaoling's face darkened slightly.

"Who pointed out the residence to you? Go and bring the person here."

At the same time, she quickly walked into the house.

Zhou Shiyue was pulled by her and was caught off guard for a moment. Fortunately, his legs were very long and he could keep up with her two steps with one step. Otherwise, it would be disastrous for a prince to be dragged away.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

How could Chen Deshan have done such a good thing to make Lu Er so nervous?

"This village is built on a formation. Some houses are dead ends. The house where Mr. Chen and his people live is built right on a dead end."

Lu Zhaoling's tone also became serious.

"Someone must have died in this house, and more than one person has died."

"It's an old house and the owner may have passed away. Isn't that normal?" Zhou Shiyue said.

"The dead I'm talking about are not those who died of old age," Lu Zhaoling said unhappily, "Would I talk about normal birth, aging, illness and death?"

Got criticized.

Zhou Shiyue touched the tip of his nose. Lu Er didn't give him any face at all.

The doors of this house are all open.

Lu Zhaoling was about to step in, but was stopped by Zhou Shiyue. "Isn't it called the Death Gate? Are you seeking death by going in like this?"

"Who am I? Who are you? You can't die." Lu Zhaoling dragged him in directly.

It was easy to understand who she was, but who was he? Could it be that he had the royal dragon energy to protect him? Then how could he still be cursed with four talismans?

But no matter what, Lu Er has gone in, so he can't not go in.

When I entered, the room was empty, no one was there.

"It seems that Chen Deshan and his family don't live here."

"It has the scent of my amulet. I've used it here." Lu Zhaoling led him out of the house, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I don't know what happened to them, but they managed to escape."

After retreating, the two officers brought a villager over.

"Miss Lu Er, this is the person who allowed us to live here."

"Hey, the adults are not here?"

Zhou Shiyue has already sent people to look for Lord Chen and the others.

Lu Zhaoling looked at the villager, a middle-aged man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks.

For some reason, she really didn't like most of the people in this village. Could it be that the village breeds evil people?

The villager looked up at Lu Zhaoling, and at that moment an expression of surprise and greed appeared on his face.

What a pretty girl!

He has never seen such a pretty girl in his life!

Before coming here, he had decided not to look up at the nobleman and not to talk much, but when he saw Lu Zhaoling, he was so engrossed in her that he forgot everything else for a moment.

"Hit the king."

A cold voice rang out, waking the villager up. He shuddered and lowered his head quickly.

"My humble servant, I am honored to meet you, my noble servant!"

But it was too late.

The look he gave Lu Zhaoling just now had been caught by Zhou Shiyue.

Qing Feng stepped forward and punched him twice in the abdomen. The villager bent over in pain and almost vomited blood.

"Why did you hit me, sir?"

He didn't know who the person coming was. He was so busy looking at Lu Zhaoling that he didn't even look at the people around him. The villager regretted it very much at this moment.

"Hit again."

Zhou Shiyue's voice became even colder. You still have the nerve to ask?

The man was beaten to his knees.

Lu Zhaoling did not stop him because she saw that this villager also had a life on his hands. Beating him would be a light punishment.

"Let me ask you, where do you get the courage to harm an official of the imperial court?" Lu Zhaoling asked in a deep voice.

"An official appointed by the imperial court? I am not one. Even if I were to be very brave, I would not dare to commit such a serious crime!" The man covered his abdomen and cried out for injustice.

"You asked Master Chen and his men to live in this house yesterday. Do you dare to say no?"

"What's wrong with this house? It's fine and empty. The adults want to stay overnight, and I pointed out a temporary house for them with good intentions. What crime have I committed?" He howled without a single tear.

"You have given directions to others and let them stay in this house before, right?" Lu Zhaoling said directly.

The villagers were shocked and looked up at her suddenly.

No, how did she know?

"Hit him." Zhou Shiyue's voice sounded again.
