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

"Those bone nails that Master picked up at that time were also picked up from some ancient tomb, right?" Rong Jingjing asked Yin Yunting.

At that time, the master said that this kind of bone nail was too evil and did not allow them to look at it any longer.

However, the eldest sister and eldest brother were called in separately to study it.

When it came out, the senior sister said, "It stinks."

The eldest brother said, it is indeed evil.

Now she couldn't describe this bone nail and didn't know what kind of evil method it was.

"What is the use of this?" Zhou Shiyue asked.

Lu Zhaoling said, "You may not believe this, but some evil cultivators think that bone nails like these can improve their cultivation and allow them to better contact and sense all kinds of usable spiritual energy."

In the eyes of those evil practitioners, even death, disease, and bad luck are considered spiritual energy.

Because what they practice is something that goes against the Way of Heaven, the more dark things they absorb, the higher their level of cultivation will be.

Yin Yunting said, "So these bone nails must have been driven in voluntarily. In fact, bone nails are not easy to obtain. They must be very precious and rare for them."

They have magical weapons, and so do those who practice evil ways. Bone nails like this are also considered magical weapons for them, and not something that ordinary people can forge.

"Precious? Rare?"

Zhou Shiyue looked at those bone nails with an expression of extreme disgust.

He really couldn't understand this and couldn't accept it.

"Doctor Fu, please take a look at this."

Lu Zhaoling made way for the assistant doctor and asked him to sit down.

Zhou Shiyue hooked Lu Zhaoling's shoulder and took her aside.

"What's so good about looking at that dead man's nail?"

"Sheng pulled it out of the corpse. Check Nan Shao Wang Yixiong, what did you find out? This person is related to your other talisman, so hurry up."

"I was just about to tell you," Zhou Shiyue handed her a note, "I saw him appear at the border, hiding in the mountains every day, and I don't know what he does."

Lu Zhaoling took the secret letter, which stated that Luo Yingchuan had appeared in the southwestern mountains several times and had clashed with several border hunters, killing one of them.

Those hunters have always cooperated with powerful caravan leaders, and would sell the furs they hunted to the caravans after skinning them. So, those hunters found the caravan to take charge, and they gathered a lot of people to go to the mountains to find Luo Yingchuan and seek justice from him.

Luo Yingchuan used his identity as the sworn brother of King Nanshao to settle the matter.

After several inquiries, Luo Yingchuan might be looking for a kind of tree.

"Looking for a tree?"

When Lu Zhaoling saw the contents of the secret letter, he immediately looked up at Zhou Shiyue.

"It means to find a tree."

"One of the things I asked you to find before also grows on trees. It's a kind of tree oil."

Lu Zhaoling's eyes lit up. "So, is it possible that he is not looking for a tree, but is also looking for this kind of resin?"

She needed this resin to help Zhou Shi read the spell.

And this talisman is most likely related to this resin.

"If he is really looking for this kind of resin, it also means that this spell of yours was indeed cast by him."

Lu Zhaoling suddenly became restless.

"Ayue, let's go to the southwest!"

Zhou Shiyue was stunned.

He really didn't expect that Lu Zhaoling would be so anxious when hearing the news.

"The road to the southwest is long, and it hasn't been very peaceful there these days," said Zhou Shiyue.

"We finally got some clues, how can we let them go? Besides, what are we afraid of? Even if there is a war, your spell has to be solved. We have to meet Luo Yingchuan."

"Your Majesty!"

Qing Xiao came hurriedly.

Hearing Qing Xiao's serious and somewhat nervous tone, Zhou Shiyue also frowned.

"Urgent news from the Southwest City Gate."

Qing Xiao walked quickly up to them and handed them a secret letter.

Lu Zhaoling immediately became quiet.

How could it be such a coincidence? I said I was going to the southwest, and then there was an urgent report from there?

Zhou Shiyue opened the secret letter and read it quickly.

Lu Zhaoling originally thought that such a serious secret letter should not be allowed to be seen by her, and she should not ask about it for the time being, so when Zhou Shi was reading the letter, she consciously took two steps back.

Who knew that Zhou Shiyue finished reading the letter and handed it directly to her.

"Show me?"

"have a look."

If he dared to give it to her, she would naturally dare to look at it.

Lu Zhaoling took it.

It's snowing in the southwest.

The cold weather came early this year, and there had been a long drought before that. A tribe in the southwest, due to lack of food and clothing, has recently frequently launched sneak attacks on some small border towns in the southwest.

The most recent time, they gathered another gang of horse bandits from outside the Great Wall and massacred a village on the border.

"Kill the whole village?"

When Lu Zhaoling saw this sentence, his expression changed.

"The Crown Prince will also know this news soon," Zhou Shiyue said in a low voice, "I asked the Crown Prince to pay more attention to the border before. We have released a lot of people there. The Crown Prince suggested that we take the initiative to let the Emperor know something, so we sent a few spies to find opportunities to surrender to the Emperor."

"You mean, the Emperor will know soon?"

For a moment, Lu Zhaoling didn't know what Zhou Shiyue meant.

"The position of the generals in the southwest is a bit delicate now. Something happened before that aroused the emperor's suspicion, but he can't replace them for the time being. In this case, the emperor should seize the opportunity and send someone from the capital."

Yin Yunting and the others were watching the assistant doctor examining the poison. Seeing that Prince Jin must have something important to do, they did not come over to interfere.

"The prince will also take this opportunity to send his confidants to the southwest. Firstly, the mine of Concubine Shu's cousin is there, and then he will go to find out whether they have reached their hands into the military camp. Secondly, he will also see what the position of the generals in the southwest is."

"Then let's go too."

Lu Zhaoling made a decision immediately, "We also want to take a look at the mountain that Hu Shang visited to see if we can find any traces of the First Xuanmen."

"Besides, there is Luo Yingchuan."

In this case, we have to go to the southwest.

Zhou Shiyue reached out and touched her head. "Then we have to hurry up. The journey will be tough."

If you want to go fast, you can't just drive the carriage all the way like you're sightseeing.

“Am I the kind of person who is afraid of suffering?”

Qing Xiao said worriedly, "Your Majesty, will the Emperor agree to let you go?"

They were still worried, but the emperor dozed off for a while after leaving court. During this moment, he dreamed of the retired emperor again!

In his dream, the retired emperor said to him very seriously that there would be a war in the Great Zhou!

The disaster started in the southwest! Moreover, there might be evil forces in the southwest. Danger!

The word "danger" from the retired emperor sounded like a loud roar in his ear. The emperor jumped up with a startle.

He hasn't felt his waist so good in a long time.

"Somebody come!"

The emperor thought of what the retired emperor said in his dream and immediately shouted.

Eunuch Qin came in hurriedly.

"emperor?"
