Mt. Mochizuki is really an ominous place.

At the beginning, Zhu Xiuyan was here, and was calculated by Princess Zhaohua and fell off the cliff, which later caused a series of accidents.

Standing on this cliff again, Shen Nianzhen's mood was very complicated.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, it was Nanfeng who stopped the carriage on the mountain road, and then walked over: "Miss Shen, what does that medicinal herb look like?" You briefly describe it, and your subordinates also help to find it. ”

"You don't call me the county lord anymore?" Shen Nianzhen turned his head to look at him.

"Because...... The subordinates feel that it is more cordial to call you Miss Shen. Nanfeng said a little shyly: "After you marry our Royal Highness, your subordinates will only call you princess!" ”

"Whether there is a day or not, not necessarily." Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this, then turned around and walked cautiously all the way towards the winding mountain road, turning to the rugged and steep place: "As the name suggests, the whole plant is purple, from the roots to the leaf buds, it grows on the steepest cliffs all year round, and when we look for it later, we must be careful......

"Is this herb scarce?" Hearing this, Nanfeng asked as he raised his eyes and carefully searched the cliff in front of him.

"It's not." Shen Nianzhen replied: "It's just more difficult to identify, mixed with weeds, it's easy to pick other herbs as it, in that case, not only will it not cure the disease, but it will aggravate the disease, and it is precisely because of this that the master asked me to pick it." ”

I see!

Nanfeng nodded when he heard this, and carefully protected Shen Nianzhen behind to prevent her from falling off this cliff.

The two of them searched carefully for a while, Shen Nianzhen plucked several purple herbs, but unfortunately none of them were violet pansies, seeing that time passed little by little, and the sun gradually hid behind the clouds, revealing only a red face, Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Nanfeng thought of a trick and said, "Miss, it's better to be like this, you don't have to climb up the cliff again, it's dangerous, and the movement is still slow, you just stand in this safe place and wait, and your subordinates fly up to pick all the herbs that are suspected of being violets, and then you just need to identify them one by one, okay?" ”

Shen Nian, who was really good at climbing, was also a little tired, and immediately nodded when he heard this, and said, "In this way, thank you very much." ”

"What are you doing with your subordinates?" Nanfeng said strangely: "You have worked so hard to collect medicine, and it is my Royal Highness who is saving you!" It should be a subordinate, thank you. ”

"Okay, don't argue about this, let's get some medicine quickly." Shen Nianzhen took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Nanfeng nodded, and immediately jumped forward, climbing towards the highest and steepest part of the cliff, as agile as a monkey.

"I'm glad I brought him here." Shen Nianzhen nodded again and again, and said with relief: "With the south wind, it seems that this medicine will definitely be able to be picked." ”

After a while, Nanfeng quickly scurried down from the cliff and placed a large handful of medicinal herbs in front of Shen Nianzhen for her to identify them one by one.

Shen Nianzhenzai carefully looked at each medicinal herb, and then shook his head in disappointment and said, "No, I still need to pick it again." ”

"Nothing?"

Hearing this, Nanfeng glanced down at the medicinal herbs he had picked, and gritted his teeth: "You wait, your subordinates will pick them again!" ”

As he spoke, he jumped and climbed higher up the cliff.

Shen Nianzhen craned his neck to look at him, and after a while, the figure of the south wind was hidden among the dense trees, and then he could no longer be seen.

Shen Nianzhen waited patiently, the sun was setting, the mountains and forests were quiet, and occasionally one or two birds flew by, making a croaking sound, which startled her.

Being alone in this kind of wilderness, in fact, is still a little scared.

Shen Nianzhen involuntarily tightened his sleeves.

But at this moment, there was a rustling sound behind her, like the sound of the wind blowing, and it was very similar to the sound of footsteps.

"Who's over there!" Shen Nian turned his head violently.

I saw that under the afterglow of the setting sun, three or five masked black-clothed people were bent on their waists, and under the cover of the grass, they walked towards this side step by step, with cold blades shining in their hands.

"What a big fat sheep! Blessed tonight! Brothers, rush me! ”

Seeing that Shen Nianzhen had discovered herself, the man in black no longer secretly covered up, but straightened up his tall body, smiled fiercely, and pounced on her one by one like a wolf!

Shen Nianzhen was not in a hurry, she had expected this situation to happen long before she left the city, and she had been prepared for it.

She sat still, a little nervous at first when she spotted the masked man, but now she was calm.

Her appearance made several people in black puzzled, and they stopped one after another.

"Hey! Little girl! Why don't you feel scared? The leader asked in a gruff voice.

"Because my friend is nearby, he is very good at swordsmanship, and he will be back soon." Shen Nianzhen's hand in the purse on his body stopped, and replied lightly: "If you know each other, leave quickly, I will not blame the past, if you refuse to ......"

"So what? Could it be that you, a delicate little girl, will still eat people? Several people burst out laughing, their voices rough and ugly.

"He'll be back soon." Shen Nian is really quiet.

Those men in black are all outlaws, how could they be frightened by her words? Laughed twice at the moment, and surrounded her with a cruel smile!

They were still cautious, even though they were facing only a little girl, and the sword in their hand was not withdrawn.

However, they still miscalculated.

Because the person they met was Shen Nianzhen.

Shen Nianzhen is not a well-behaved young lady, she will not be frightened when she meets these black-clothed people, and she faints, holding a big killing weapon in her hand.

She was calm, calm, estimating the time, and when the first man in black stepped into a place a foot in front of her, she reached out violently and sprinkled the medicinal powder in her purse like a goddess scattering flowers!

She was lucky, at the same time that the powder spilled out, a gust of wind blew through, and it instantly blew the powder to several people in black, who instantly coughed and crumbled.

There were a few bangs, and all the swords in the hands of several men in black fell to the ground, and after a quarter of an hour, they all fell to the ground dizzily, unable to get up again.

Seeing this, Shen Nianzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a good idea!" But at this moment, a burst of applause suddenly sounded not far away, and a faint chuckle.

Shen Nian's heart was shocked, and he quickly turned around, and saw the eldest prince Rong Yao sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed over by the personal guards, but there was no fish intestine left.

Shen Nianzhen immediately frowned, looked at Rong Yao unceremoniously and said, "Your Highness, the timing of your appearance is really good!" Last time in the alley, it was like this today, and if you didn't arrange these assassins to kill me, it's too much of a coincidence, right? ”

"That's right, they were arranged by this palace, and the purpose was to test how much ability Miss Shen still had." Rong Yao looked at Shen Nianzhen with an appreciative gaze and said: "A delicate daughter, never panicked when she encounters an assassin, and she has a sharp means to save herself, like you, no wonder the second brother likes it, even the main palace can't help but be a little interested in you!" ”

"Are you interested in the dead?" Shen Nianzhen was speechless and scolded a pervert in his heart.

The eldest prince feels like a poisonous snake dormant in winter, seemingly harmless, but I don't know when it will come out of the corner, bite you coldly, and you will die and come back to life.

You may even lose your life.

Simple drugs and fans have no effect on him at all, Shen Nianzhen doesn't know martial arts, because he came out in a hurry, he didn't have other drugs on his body, if the eldest prince did it, she would have no power to resist at all, so although Shen Nianzhen was talking to the eldest prince, his eyes frequently looked in the direction of the south wind.

"Are you looking for this?" Seeing this, the eldest prince suddenly smiled slightly, slowly stretched out his hand, and in the open palm, there were a few violets in it.

It's really a violet!

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but stepped forward to take a look at it twice, making sure that it was what she wanted, and looked at the eldest prince vigilantly at the moment and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

The eldest prince said slowly: "If you want to unlock the Gu poison on the second brother's body, you have to ask for this violet, but unfortunately, this violet on Mochizuki Mountain was ordered by the palace to pick all of them as early as a few hours ago, and now you are turning over this mountain forest, looking for three days and three nights, and you can't find a violet to come, the question is, can he wait for three days and three nights for the second brother?" ”

As he spoke, he smiled softly.

No wonder she and Nanfeng couldn't find a single violet! Android

Looking at the back of the eldest prince, several guards carried a whole basket of violets in their hands, which could be used as pigweed! It seems that what he said is true, and he has picked all the violets in this mountain forest.

Although violet is not a precious medicinal material, it is not found all over the mountains. There's really nothing to be picked up at this point.

Shen Nian's face was green!

He couldn't bear it anymore and said, "The eldest prince, what are you going to do?" ”

"It's very simple, this palace heard that you had an awkward quarrel with your second brother, and you are planning to withdraw from the marriage." The eldest prince sat in a wheelchair, looked at her and said unhurriedly: "As long as you withdraw from the marriage and receive the dowry sent by the palace, the palace will give you all these violets." ”

"Impossible! I will never say yes! ”

Shen Nian really didn't want to think about it, so he refused: "Whether I and the Second Highness retreat or not, I will not choose you!" ”

"Why is that?" Rong Yao looked at her curiously when he heard this, and said slowly: "The second brother is the prince, and the palace is also the prince!" The head of the palace is not bad, not worse than the second brother, although the palace can't walk for the time being, but the leg injury of the palace can be cured! ...... time"

"Don't wait for time."

Shen Nianzhen interrupted him and said with a serious expression: "I don't want to marry you, not because of your leg injury, but because you are too insidious, I feel scared, so it is impossible for me to agree." ”

"Not because of a leg injury?" The eldest prince looked at her with a strange gaze, and then asked, "Shen Nianzhen, don't you think the legs of this palace are ugly?" ”

"What's this?" Shen Nianzhen said disapprovingly: "Compared with your character, it is simply not worth mentioning. ”

"It's the first time a girl hasn't looked at Hongu's legs with strange eyes." The eldest prince looked at her and said with a sparkling gaze: "Shen Nianzhen, you are really different from others. ”

"Besides this matter, what else do you need to do to give me Zijin?" Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, Shen Nianzhen gradually became anxious in his heart, and his tone was a little impatient.

However, the eldest prince was very happy, he seemed to like talking to Shen Nianzhen very much, but the three black-clothed assassins on the ground were too much of an eyesore between the two of them, so he ordered the guards to kick the three of them off the high cliff.

The body fell, and no echo was heard for a long time.

These three men will surely die.

"Hey! They're your people! You're too ruthless to do that, aren't you? Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but say.

She felt that the three men were not guilty of death.

"They almost did it to you." The eldest prince raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of mockery: "I didn't expect that Miss Shen is still a kind-hearted girl." ”

"On another condition, you give me the violet grass, and within a year, I want to heal your leg." Shen Nianzhen bit his lip and looked at him.

When Rong Yao heard this, he finally glanced at her, and then shook his head with a smile: "It's not good, this palace has no confidence in your medical skills, and I want you to give up your second brother and choose this palace." ”

"Forget it! We don't have much more to say. Shen Nianzhen turned his head and looked at the cliff frequently, revealing a trace of anxiety in his eyes. The south wind has been gone for a long time, why hasn't it come back yet?

The sky is gradually darkening, and the last rays of sunset on the horizon have been hidden in the clouds, and the overwhelming night is coming......

Just when Shen Nianzhen was waiting anxiously, a figure finally ran down the cliff with difficulty.

"South wind! You're finally back! When Shen Nianzhen saw him, he was overjoyed.

Soon, Nanfeng walked in front of her, and was about to untie the basket on her back and hand it to Shen Nianzhen, when she suddenly saw the eldest prince and his party, and immediately changed his face, stepped forward to block in front of Shen Nianzhen, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness, the eldest prince!" How are you here! ”

The eldest prince glanced at Nanfeng, lazily opened the folding fan and shook it gently, and replied indifferently: "Passing by." ”

Pass by?

Who is good enough to go up the mountain at this time? The devil believes it!

Nanfeng glared at the eldest prince with a wary face, in case he cheated.

"Miss Shen, why don't you take a look at the herbs your people picked? Maybe there will be the purple pansy you want inside, so you don't have to negotiate terms with Hongu. The eldest prince reminded Shen Nianzhen with a smile.

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, she immediately took the basket in Nanfeng's hand, lowered her head and carefully inspected the herbs, because it was dark and she couldn't see it clearly, so she asked Nanfeng to light a torch.

"Miss Shen, what conditions did you promise him? Let's go down the mountain and see! Why bother identifying here. Nanfeng asked suspiciously, and lit the torch according to Yan.

"Just watch it here."

Shen Nianzhen didn't raise his head, squatted down, carefully and carefully, one by one to identify the herbs that Nanfeng had spent a lot of effort picking back.

From the beginning to the end, her movements gradually slowed down, and her face changed from full of hope to extremely disappointed.

No, not a single violet.

Sure enough, as the eldest prince said, the purple pansies on Mochizuki Mountain have all been picked by him.

There may be other mountains, but now that Rongchen is critically ill, they have no more time to pick.

If you want to save Rong Chen's life, you can only exchange conditions with the eldest prince Rong Yao, agree to his request, and exchange it for purple violet.

However, the eldest prince was not satisfied with the conditions she threw out to treat her legs.

Do you really want to promise him?

Shen Nianzhen frowned deeply, and heaven and man were at war in his heart.

Rong Yao looked at Shen Nianzhen with interest, he wanted to see how she would choose.

If you want to save Rong Chen, then exchange it for herself.

"Okay, I'll promise your terms." He didn't wait long before Shen Nianzhen opened his mouth and said desperately, "You give me the violet grass!" ”

"Really?" The eldest prince smiled when he heard this.

Nanfeng was startled on the side, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Shen! What does he mean? What conditions did you promise him? ”

"Nanfeng, listen to me." Shen Nianzhen looked at him and said helplessly: "The purple violet grass on this mountain is in the hands of the great prince, if you want to save your Royal Highness, you can only agree to his conditions, and this matter should be the last thing I do for your Royal Highness." ”

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the eldest prince.

No matter how stupid Nanfeng is, he can guess a rough idea, and when he heard this, his face changed, and when Shen Nianzhen was about to walk in front of the eldest prince, he gritted his toothbrush and pulled out the long sword on his body, rushed towards the eldest prince, and shouted: "I'm here!" You don't want to bully Miss Shen! ”

The eldest prince sat in a wheelchair and didn't move at all, and he didn't even glance at him.

Only the mountain breeze blew his hair, the green silk flew, and the clothes fluttered, making him more and more handsome and handsome, if you put aside his uncertain personality, as well as the legs that can't move the lower half of his body, he is indeed a beautiful man who can compare with Rong Chen.

It's no wonder that Rong Yao is so conceited.

Just when Nanfeng's long knife was still an inch away from the eldest prince, the guard behind the eldest prince jumped up, quickly took out his sword, and opened Nanfeng's sword leather in one moment, and with a ding, Nanfeng's long sword broke into two parts.

With a bang, he was kicked in the chest again, and the whole person fell to the ground like a broken kite, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Stop!" Shen Nianzhen hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the guard's action of mending the knife, looked at Rong Yao and said, "He's just a guard!" Why do you have to do this! ”

"With such mediocrity and cowardice, there is no need to live in the first place." When Rong Yao heard this, he laughed contemptuously.

With a slight wave of his hand, the guard put away his long knife and stood behind him again.

Shen Nianzhen ran over and helped Nanfeng sit up from the ground, and asked worriedly, "How are you?" ”
