There are five countries and ten lands, the country is large but the land is small, and the land of Yan is the smallest.
But it never dies, because its environment is different from the outside world, in the middle of the primitive dense forest, it is rainy all the year round, and even the occasional sunlight does not shine in.
The so-called city is not built with bricks and stones, but with wood or bamboo.
Very low-key, simple.
The Ninth Prince took Xiao Ting all the way to the deepest point. Since they entered the boundary of Yandi, they disguised themselves and their dressing styles changed drastically.
Xiao Ting's white and tender face, after a few days of tossing, turned into a honey color, yellowish, which made her very depressed.
Especially when he saw the still fair face of the Ninth Prince beside him, he became even more dissatisfied.
Obviously they are all the same person, raised in the same country, in the same imperial city, he is magnificent, and she is also, uh, not bad.
What's the matter, it's just a change of clothes, and the gap comes out.
She was dressed in commoner clothes, like a wild monkey, and she was also dressed in plain clothes, but she couldn't hide her noble temperament.
This is no harm without contrast.
At this moment, they had just climbed over a mountain, and the Ninth Prince was watching from a distance. Compared with the map in his hand, he suddenly felt that someone was peeping.
After a closer look, it turned out to be Xiao Ting.
"Tired? Let's take a break."
Xiao Ting pouted angrily and said, "I'm not tired."
"Then what's wrong with you?"
With such obvious emotions, he is not blind.
"Why can't you get a tan?"
Xiao Ting muttered, obviously she is a woman, she should be as beautiful as a flower!
Ninth Prince was also very helpless, he couldn't answer this question, put away the map in his hand, went to Xiao Ting and patted her on the head.
"Otherwise, as you said, I'll put you in my pocket!"
Most of Xiao Ting's previous life lived in uninhabited places. After all, she followed her master's last wish to maintain the balance of yin and yang.
So she is very familiar with this kind of place, but she doesn't like it very much.
"Hmph!" Xiao Ting rolled her eyes back at him.
The Ninth Prince was very helpless, pointed to a place not far away surrounded by clouds and mist, and said, "That is the end of our trip."
Xiao Ting was resting on his chest.
Hearing this, he immediately poked his head out and looked forward.
"Is there? It doesn't look like an ordinary place."
"When did you learn to read Feng Shui?"
The Ninth Prince joked, he knew about Xiao Ting's abilities, but he had never heard of this one, why did he suddenly have an inspiration
Xiao Ting continued to roll her eyes at him, ignored it, and looked forward seriously, there was no dense forest, but a deep valley surrounded by clouds and mist.
It's just that she is not proficient in other academic aspects of Taoism, and it's not that she is ignorant, after all, she has been with the master for several years.
"I learned it in my previous life."
Xiao Ting glared at him angrily.
Dang walked forward first, and the Ninth Prince followed closely behind.
As the saying goes, look at the mountains and run dead horses.
By the time they reached the bottom of the mountain, it was already nightfall.
Ninth Prince suddenly grabbed Xiao Ting's hand and paused.
"Why?" Xiao Ting looked at him in bewilderment, it was pitch black in front of her, and she couldn't see anything. Seeing that she was about to reach her destination, he didn't even leave.
"Shh, don't make a sound, there is movement ahead."
Ninth Prince looked at the front indifferently.
There is the deepest part of the valley.
There is no sunshine all year round, and darkness is synonymous with it.
Xiao Ting blinked suspiciously, although she didn't notice any movement, she still squatted down according to the Ninth Prince's words.
"What did you find?"
Why didn't she see anything
Ninth Prince's gaze was fixed, quietly staring ahead.
After a while, he opened his mouth to speak.
"A lot of people have surrounded there."
Xiao Ting was surprised.
"Could it be that the secret of this place has been discovered by others?"
"Or did someone in the empire leak the news?"
The treasure map has been kept in the imperial palace of the empire, and the emperor only gave it to the Ninth Prince for this operation. It stands to reason that it is impossible for the news from there to leak.
Ninth Prince shook his head, he couldn't tell the difference at the moment.
"Stay here first and don't move around, I'll go back as soon as I go."
According to the Ninth Prince, there are many people in front of you who have surrounded the valley, but Xiao Ting didn't hear anything, obviously they are all masters, so she didn't care about it, and stayed where she was obediently.
The afterglow of the setting sun gradually dissipated, and the earth was shrouded in darkness, and it was safer for her to stay here.
Not long after, the Ninth Prince turned around and quietly appeared by his side, pulling her away.
It wasn't until he retreated into the dense forest in the distance that the Ninth Prince let go of her hand, and remained silent for a while without speaking.
"What's wrong? Do you know those people?"
The Ninth Prince raised his eyes, looked at the distance and frowned, "It is the general of Yandi who leads the army, it should be the order of King Yan."
General of Yandi.
Isn't that the father of Jin Le
"Then what should we do now?" The Ninth Prince naturally chose to avoid seeing him when he returned, and they must not disturb anyone during their trip, otherwise the success will be in vain.
The Ninth Prince stood tall, let go of Xiao Ting, stared at Hei Youyou's front, and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to find out if there's another exit, if not, I'm going to force my way in."
"You're crazy." What a joke, right now you're fighting Yan Wang in Yandi, that's a desperate way to fight.
The Ninth Prince ignored her at all, obviously he had a plan in mind.
"This is the only plan for now, but I have to settle you down before I go in."
Xiao Ting felt that she was despised. Originally, the Ninth Prince didn't intend to bring anyone with her on this trip, but she followed her facelessly, and now she has become a burden again.
Naturally, he was upset, stomping his feet and said, "It's agreed that you will take me with you, and I won't go."
"Don't mess around." The Ninth Prince said without the slightest reproach, then looked around, wrapped her arms around her waist, and quickly disappeared into this place.
There is the sound of rustling leaves in my ears.
Xiao Ting had no choice but to hold the Ninth Prince tightly. After a while, they stopped, and there was still a dense forest in front of them. They couldn't see anything, but they walked a little further.
"You stay here. If I haven't come out tomorrow morning, you will leave."
Ninth Prince Chen Sheng told him to turn around and leave, Xiao Ting grabbed his sleeve.
"What are you going to do? You want to leave me here again, so why did you bring me here? You should have let me die in that fire back then."
Xiao Ting was very angry, this man didn't make sense at all.
At the beginning, we agreed to bring her here together, but when we arrived, we let her stay here alone.
"Xiao Xiao, don't be self-willed, do you know how many people are in front? Even I am not sure that I can break in."
Ninth Prince was very helpless.
If the other woman encounters this kind of thing, she can hide as far away as she can.
But he forgot that this little woman was never the one who was afraid of getting into trouble, and she was the kind who took the initiative to bump into things.
But Xiao Ting understood a sentence, the Ninth Prince was not sure at all, but he insisted on going in.
"You are not sure yourself, you let me stay here, are you not afraid that they will catch me?"
Seeing that the Ninth Prince was gone, Xiao Ting snorted coldly, let go of his hand, and sat on the spot.
"You go, go quickly if you have the ability, I will call someone as soon as you leave, or you will have my acupoints pressed, and let me stay here to feed the bear."
The Ninth Prince had no choice but to stop as he was about to leave, feeling very helpless.
"Xiao Xiao..."
Xiao Ting turned her head and stopped looking at him, ignoring his voice.
"Don't call me, it's useless to say anything."
"Either you take me in with you, or you stay here with me, and we'll think of other ways."
"There's no time." The Ninth Prince naturally wouldn't listen to her.
Xiao Ting was annoyed, but she still said, "There is no time, is the sky falling?"
"It's just a treasure map. Since the map is useless and they find it, then you can let them take the lead."
Xiao Ting thought it was very simple, since the people in the palace of Yandi had discovered this place, they must have their own sources of information. Now they surrounded this place and put out the torches.
Especially since no one knew that the Ninth Prince had come here, he was already a dead person in the outside world, so these people were naturally not waiting for her and the Ninth Prince, but someone else.
But if they broke in at this moment, that would be a living target, and the people on the other side would never show up again.
Xiao Ting told Ninth Prince what she thought.
But the Ninth Prince chose to go in tonight no matter what, and she didn't know the reason.
"Chu Xiaoli, you can't do this, you can't do that, what do you want? Tell you, there is no way to go in by yourself, or I will accompany you to die!"
For a while, the two were in a stalemate here, and neither of them would let go.
"ah… "
In the dark night, a scream pierced the sky, and the sound spread thousands of miles.
Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince stood up at the same time.
"That direction..."
"If something goes wrong, go and have a look."
After Xiao Ting finished speaking, she ran forward first, and the Ninth Prince could only follow behind her.
When the two returned to the place where they stayed just now, there was already a scuffle ahead.
Especially with all kinds of beams of light soaring into the sky.
"It's a spiritualist!"
Xiao Ting was surprised, but also a little excited. It was the first time for her to see a spiritualist participate in a war.
"They are attacking the royal generals."
Ninth Prince frowned.
"Could it be that something happened to Yandi Palace?"
Ninth Prince was a little puzzled. Although he was dead in the eyes of outsiders, Li Mo knew everything.
So even though he went deep into Yandi, news still came, but he didn't hear anything happened to Yandi's palace.
"Can I fish in troubled waters?"
Xiao Ting was very excited.
Seeing her expression, Ninth Prince knew that those people below were not Xiao Ting's opponents, so he nodded immediately and said, "Be careful."
Xiao Ting wiped a couple of handfuls of dirt on her face, then ran forward excitedly.
The Ninth Prince also followed her and disappeared in a flash.
At the bottom of the dark valley, there is a low-lying pond where the water has long since dried up.
A small stone platform was exposed, surrounded by potholes, which looked like an altar.
General Yan led everyone to surround it, but their opponents were a group of spiritualists.
Ordinary soldiers are not their opponents at all, and they can't get close.
This battle seemed to be a struggle.
