Out of the palace, Shen Yiqing took Xiang Yong and those guards and galloped towards the city gate on horseback.

The horses galloped through the crowded streets, startling the pedestrians on the road to retreat to the side of the street, causing many people to look sideways.

"Isn't that the Regent? What's going on? How could the prince be in such a hurry? ”

"Something big must have happened. However, regardless of our business, it is better not to join in the fun. ”

The passers-by looked at the departing procession and discussed in twos and threes.

And in the crowd, a ragged beggar, with a pestle and a cane, and a broken bowl in his hand, looked meaningfully at the almost invisible procession, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a sinister sneer.

Go, go to Endless Valley to find Kudzu.

But you have to find it!

……

After leaving the city, Shen Yiqing and the others went straight to the Endless Valley.

The Boundless Valley is in the northeast of the Imperial City, about twenty miles away.

Although it is not too far from the Imperial City, the terrain of this Boundless Valley is steep and densely forested, and even experienced hunters do not dare to enter the depths of the valley easily.

But this kudzu flower grows in the depths of the valley, and only on the cliffs. Therefore, in order to get kudzu, you have to go into the valley.

Three days is actually not a lot of time for Shen Yiqing.

But even so, he must find Ge Lanhua as soon as possible, and he must not let the prince have anything to do.

Thinking so, he swung his whip and struck it the horse's back, and the horse was in pain, and spread its hooves and ran forward more quickly.

After a rush of fire, the team finally arrived at the Endless Valley.

Outside the valley, Shen Yiqing turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to a tree, and then he walked towards the valley.

"Lord Wang." Xiang Yong hurriedly followed up and proposed, "If it's getting late today, why don't you rest here for the night, and then enter the valley after dawn tomorrow?" ”

Shen Yiqing didn't stop, and strode forward: "The prince can't wait." ”

As soon as he heard what he said, Xiang Yong knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he could only take the guards and follow him cautiously.

The valley is densely wooded, with half-man-tall grasses and towering trees with intertwined roots.

The sky was already darkening, and the light was blocked by the lush canopy of trees, and the whole valley was dark and silent, which seemed a little permeating.

Suddenly, a few crows chirped suddenly, echoing in the woods, making the woods more and more treacherous.

Shen Yiqing walked in the front, holding a long sword in his hand, and with a swing of the long sword, he cut off a hanging vine in front of him.

"Everybody be careful." As he opened the way, he reminded loudly.

"Lord Wang, let's let my subordinates open the way in front." Xiang Yong sped up to his side and proposed.

Shen Yiqing silently turned sideways to the side.

Xiang Yong understood, stepped forward, and walked at the forefront of the team.

The group walked forward in silence until they were completely out of sight, and then stopped and lit the torches.

In the woods at night, the howls of wild beasts can occasionally be heard, mixed with the cries of birds.

"Lord Wang, we've been walking for a while, why don't you stop and rest for a while?" Xiang Yong looked back at Shen Yiqing and said.

Shen Yiqing hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then rest for a while." ”

So, everyone sat down on the spot and rested.

Xiang Yong took out the water bladder he was carrying and handed it to Shen Yiqing: "Lord Wang, drink some water." ”

Shen Yiqing took the water bladder and took two sips, looking around casually.

The woods at night were full of dangers, but for him there was nothing to fear, he was afraid that he would not find the arrowroot.

"Lord Wang, don't worry." Seeing his solemn expression, Xiang Yong comforted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." We have three days to go, and we're sure to find kudzu. ”

Retracting his gaze to look at him, Shen Yiqing pursed his thin lips with beautiful lines, and just wanted to speak, but saw that his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Lord Wang?" Xiang Yong looked at him in surprise.

"Silence." Shen Yiqing quickly spit out two words, and then his eyes suddenly turned to the right-hand side, his face full of vigilance.

The others also noticed his strange appearance and followed his gaze as they touched their weapons.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

The bonfire was still burning vigorously, and the dry branches were burned by the firewood, making a beeping sound.

And at this moment, several black shadows burst out from the darkness, and the sharp long sword quickly stabbed at everyone.

"Lord be careful!"

Xiang Yong immediately pulled out his saber and swung it vigorously at the man in black who was coming towards Shen Yiqing.

Boom!

The two long swords collided, making a loud sonorous sound, and even burst out with a piercing fire.

The sound of weapons clashing was heard one after another, and several other guards also engaged in the black.

These guards are all elites personally cultivated by Shen Yiqing, and their strength should naturally not be underestimated, so in the face of these black-clothed people who suddenly appeared, they were not afraid and firmly gained the upper hand.

And from beginning to end, Shen Yiqing sat in place, watching his subordinates fight with those men in black with cold eyes.

Until he suddenly felt a murderous aura coming straight towards him.

I saw that in the grass behind him, a person suddenly burst out, and the long sword that flashed with cold light swung directly at him.

However, just as the long sword was about to fall on his body, he saw Shen Yiqing get up flexibly and quickly, and as soon as he grabbed his long arm, he picked up the saber that was placed on his side.

Then, the sword was unsheathed, and he leaped forward and struck at the other party.

Boom!

The sound of swords colliding quickly sounded, but in just a few breaths, the two had already exchanged several moves.

It wasn't until Shen Yiqing's heavy palm landed on the other party's shoulder and knocked the other party back a few steps that the fight between the two stopped.

"He is worthy of being the famous regent of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, which should not be underestimated."

The man in black who fought with Shen Yiqing looked at him with admiration, with a bit of inevitable possession in his eyes.

As soon as this person spoke, Shen Yiqing realized that this was actually a woman.

"Who are you?" He held a long sword in his right hand, his body was straight, and his eyes were coldly fixed on the other side.

The woman did not answer immediately, but looked at her men and ordered, "Stop." ”

As her words fell, the men in black collectively retreated behind her, looking respectful.

Xiang Yong and the others also came to Shen Yiqing's side one after another, looking at these black-clothed people with fierce eyes.

The woman at the head raised her eyebrows slightly, stared at Shen Yiqing directly, and looked at him unscrupulously.

"It is said that the regent of the Eastern Wu Kingdom is handsome and beautiful, and he is captivating the country and the city, and when I see it today, I know that the rumors are true, and you are indeed very beautiful."

However, these words made Shen Yiqing frown unhappily.
