Chapter 43 I Lost Something

He swept his eyes across the dirt road beside him, and then looked at the people around him. Each of these people was ragged, pale and thin, and carried large and small bags on their backs.

When the noble man got off the car, everyone bowed their heads. No one dared to leave. Everyone looked at the noble man in front of them with awe, not understanding what he was looking for.

Chen Luo was also in the crowd. The moment the other party jumped off the carriage, he clearly felt that the jade book in his arms had changed, and there was an extra warm breath.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and blocked it with his breath.

All these days of training have not been in vain. Although I can't fight against the enemy, I can still use it to hide my aura.

"strangeness."

Young Master Nineteen held the jade pendant in his hand, full of doubt.

The jade pendant in his arms was alternately hot and cold, as if the sensor was wrong.

"You guys, open the bag and let me see it."

Young Master Nineteen was a little annoyed because he didn't find the source. He actually missed this opportunity that was right at his doorstep.

It's not in the sky, is it?

He subconsciously looked up and saw that there was indeed an eagle flying in the sky, but it was too high and he couldn't shoot it.

"Go and collect all the belongings of the people around here for me."

Retracting his gaze, Young Master Nineteen gave instructions to his men.

"yes!"

The guards beside the carriage heard the order and immediately began to execute it. For a moment, the people were in danger, and the middle-aged scholar in the carriage also frowned, not knowing what ridiculous thing his young master was doing.

Young Master Nineteen ignored the gazes of the people around him. He secretly pinched the jade pendant again and found that the warmth on it had dissipated and turned cold again.

"Is it really in heaven?"

Young Master Nineteen looked up at the flying eagle again, feeling somewhat disappointed.

He had encountered this kind of thing before. Some birds that swallowed spiritual materials would also gain power similar to immortal texts. In the mouths of those "immortals", these birds can be called spiritual beasts. They are practitioners like "immortals".

The guards searched very quickly.

No one on the donkey cart was left behind, and Chen Luo was also searched. However, with his strength close to that of a master, it was easy for him to deal with a few soldiers.

After confirming that the jade pendant had no reaction at all, Young Master Nineteen lost his patience.

After a while, the guards brought the confiscated scrap metal. Young Master Nineteen took a quick look at it and then threw it away.

There is no response at such a close distance, they must be ordinary items.

After this incident, the carriage did not stop and drove directly into the city along the official road.

As soon as the noble young man left, a group of people immediately rushed forward to take back their things, and naturally there was another big commotion.

Chen Luo was sitting on the donkey cart, looking at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

He had been looking for clues about the immortal cultivator, but no one he had contacted knew about it. He had originally planned to seek the martial arts skills from his master Ma Quezi, but he didn't expect that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel. The clues came to him so quickly.

Although he didn't know the true identity of this noble young man, it didn't stop him from using him to get information.

As long as there are clues, the follow-up matters will be easy.

Half an hour later, the donkey cart finally entered the city.

As a corpse-buried man, he was able to enter the city very smoothly.

After entering the city, Chen Luo changed his mind and did not go to find his master Ma Cuzi. Instead, he went directly to the county government office.

Before he got closer, he saw the luxurious carriage he had met on the road earlier.

The frame is now empty, and it seems that the person has gone inside to rest.

'Opportunities come to those who are prepared.'

Chen Luo entered the gate, greeted his acquaintance, picked up a bamboo slip and walked towards the inner courtyard. In order to confirm the location of the young man, he deliberately stood at the door of the back hall, focused his attention and listened for a long time.

"I am really surprised that Your Excellency has arrived. Let this glass of wine be my toast to you." The speaker was the new magistrate of Qingya County, who seemed to be entertaining the noble young man.

"I came here to help my father with some errands. Lord Zhou is too polite."

Young Master Nineteen is not a fool who knows nothing. When he communicates with others, he does not have the arrogance of a nobleman at all. Instead, he gives people a very approachable feeling.

The education that the descendants of the princes received since childhood could not make them become brainless fools. At most, they were a little inferior in character. But this difference was only relative to other more outstanding brothers. Compared with ordinary people, they were very outstanding in both knowledge and knowledge.

"Almost."

Chen Luo listened outside for a long time before deliberately walking towards the inner courtyard with the bamboo slips.

During the process, he quietly placed his hand on his chest, and the aura that was blocked around the jade book was released a little.

Um?

Young Master Nineteen, who was drinking, felt his hand tremble, and he saw Chen Luo who had just walked in.

"stop!"

Just as expected.

As soon as the aura of the jade book disappeared, Young Master Nineteen over there sensed it, and without thinking, he started to scold.

He didn't pay attention at first, but after seeing Chen Luo's appearance clearly, he suddenly came to his senses.

Isn’t this young man the one I met on the Qingya County Road before?

With Young Master Nineteen's memory, it is absolutely impossible for him to make a mistake in remembering the people he has seen in one day.

County Magistrate Zhou was also stunned for a moment. When he saw Chen Luo at the door, his face suddenly darkened. He thought that Chen Luo had offended Young Master Nineteen, and was about to scold him.

"Brother, did I see you before at the city gate?"

Young Master Nineteen suppressed his excitement and tried hard to put on a gentle smile.

Hearing this, the scolding words on the tip of County Magistrate Zhou's tongue turned into ordinary concern.

"What's your name? When the young master asks you a question, you must answer it seriously."

"yes."

Chen Luo walked over quickly after hearing this.

'It's on him!'

As Chen Luo approached, Young Master Nineteen clearly felt that the jade pendant in his arms was getting hotter and hotter. This discovery made him so excited that even his heartbeat became much faster.

"In reply to your question, my name is Chen Ergou, and I am a handyman in the county government. I did meet you once outside the city before."

"Chen Ergou? Great! I dropped something on the road before, I wonder if you saw it?"

The Nineteenth Young Master asked on the surface, but secretly used the jade pendant to sense it. Soon, he sensed the source of warm power in Chen Luo's chest.

After confirming, his eyes suddenly locked on Chen Luo's chest.

The magistrate Zhou who was standing next to him was also a shrewd man. Upon seeing this, he immediately called on the yamen runners beside him to reach out and take it.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Luo pretended to be shocked and angry and wanted to step back, but the bailiff grabbed his arm and successfully took the jade book out of his arms.

The moment he saw the jade book, Young Master Nineteen's eyes widened.

But he quickly suppressed this emotion, looked at the jade book in the hand of the yamen runner, and spoke in a calm tone.

"I thought I had lost it, but I didn't expect to find it back so soon." After saying that, he reached out to take the jade slip, and at the same time took off the ring on his hand and handed it to Chen Luo.

"I am not an unreasonable person. This ring on me is a treasure produced by Fenghua Tower, worth three thousand taels of silver. I will consider it as a thank you gift to you."
