Chapter 40 0 The Truth About the Oracle

But it is said that because the phoenix disappeared under the crotch, Pi Kan and the third prince fell from the mid-air defenselessly like this. Although it is not an abyss, it is by no means low.The two of them fell extremely fast, and Yu Kan, who had closed his eyes tightly because of fear of heights, opened his eyes wide in horror. When he looked up, he saw himself falling below the third prince, while the third prince above was stretching his arms, trying to catch him. Live the falling self.

After seeing this scene, Qu Kan suddenly forgot where he was and forgot his overwhelming fear of heights. Only the third prince caught his gaze deeply, and subconsciously reached out to respond to the third prince.When the cold fingertips touch each other, one can feel the warmth coming from the other person's skin, connecting to the nerve endings, and then reaching the brain.The moment the third prince grabbed Yu Kan's hand, he suddenly pulled hard, and pulled Yu Kan into his arms.Holding the body in his arms tightly, the third prince saw that the place where he fell was fortunately a pool of water, and then he turned over in the air, secretly channeled his true energy, stimulated the power in his blood, and transformed into the body of a Diren, shouting "Hold your breath", Make the two people put their feet down and enter the water vertically.

The moment he fell into the water, because he was afraid of the water, his arms tightened, and he hugged the body in front of him tightly, as if it was the only life-saving straw in the world.Although the two of them could not help choking water into their stomachs, at least they were not injured.The third prince carried the almost dizzy Su Kan to the shore, but Su Kan still only relied on instinct, embracing the third prince and not letting him go.

The third prince took Yu Kan off his body and made him lie flat on the ground to recover.Then he took the drowned Aba out of his sleeve and drained the water from his abdomen.Immediately after that, the true energy is circulated and the human body is restored.He took out the talisman paper from his body, but it was all wet with water, so he had to find some dry grass and dry wood to make a fire, and dried the talisman paper before writing a secret letter and then releasing it.Another stand was set up from the side, and the wet clothes of the two were put on it to dry.

Seeing the action of the third prince here, Fang recalled the letter that the eldest princess asked him to bring to the third prince before the action, and then he stretched out his hand to take it out of his bosom, and said: "This is the order of the eldest princess, and you can open it when it is safe." Browse."

The third prince took it, and after drying the letter paper, he urgently opened the letter to read it. Although he knew that the letter that the eldest princess handed over to him in a hurry must have a deep meaning, but when he first saw the content of the letter, he couldn't understand it for a while.

Seeing that the third prince frowned at the side, Qu Kan didn't want to ask about confidential matters, but when he thought that the letter was delivered by himself, he suddenly felt a little curious, and asked: "Your Highness, is the content of the letter difficult to understand? "

The third prince nodded and said, "It's quite profound, but I can't understand it for a while."

Qi Kan said, "Can I read it?"

After hearing this, the third prince handed the letter to Su Kan, and Su Kan took it. There was only one painting and a verse in the letter, which showed a flying dragon soaring into the sky. The two-winged monster blocked the way, and the dragon and the tiger met and fought endlessly.The last verse says: "Since the fierce tiger has been ordered by heaven, it is difficult for the real dragon to fly with its wings."

After I read it, I didn't know what it meant, and then I joked: "This painting shows dragons fighting against tigers, which reminds me of the saying in "Yi Zhuan" that 'clouds follow dragons, wind follows tigers'..."

After hearing these words, the third prince suddenly had a flash of inspiration, took the letter from Yu Kan's hand and said: "Thanks to your words, I understand the meaning of the letter!"

After hearing the words, Yi Kan was still puzzled, and asked, "What is this talking about?"

The third prince said: "This is the oracle. It is the oracle that I got when my father was [-] years old, and when my elder brother had a psychic psychic."

After hearing this, Yu Kan asked doubtfully: "However, on that day, His Royal Highness clearly announced to everyone that the oracle was the scene of the flying dragon ascending into the sky, and it was a sign of auspiciousness..."

The third prince said: "I'm afraid that the real content of the oracle was deliberately concealed by the elder brother at that time. According to what is said in this letter, the oracle is clearly an ominous omen... If the facts are true, everything can be explained reasonably... ..."

Yi Kan: "..."

The third prince then explained in detail: "Brother Wang was born in the year of Chen, and I was born in the year of Yin. The country has always replaced Brother Wang with a dragon and me with a tiger, so the dragon and tiger in this oracle are naturally metaphors. Show the king and me. The oracle implies that the flying dragon rises into the sky and the flying tiger blocks the way, and the verse says that the tiger is ordered by heaven, and the real dragon cannot fly with its wings. Brother Wang recognized me as the tiger blocking the way, and he wanted to get rid of it and then hurry up. And he deliberately concealed the real content of the oracle all the time, just to make me relax my vigilance, so that he can act cheaply and remove me secretly. This can also explain why Brother Wang insists on identifying me as the real murderer who murdered his father. Kill me..."

After hearing this, Ji Kan thought it was true, and thought about the cause and effect, and said: "In this way, the last time His Highness was attacked by those black people in the woods in the southwest of Yucheng, I'm afraid it was also the Eldest Prince's conspiracy. .”

The third prince nodded and said: "That's right, it must be so. In addition, the fact that I went out to sea to find medicine must be at the behest of the king, and I am afraid that I will be buried overseas. I just didn't expect that I would survive unexpectedly, so I did this. It’s a plan. I didn’t think that Brother Wang would kill me and my father in order to get rid of me. This action is unacceptable, and he is not afraid of that retribution one day?”

Yu Kan said: "I don't understand. The eldest prince wanted to get rid of His Highness because of the oracle, lest His Highness would endanger his status. But why did he send someone here to assassinate me? I'm just a little witch Zhu , an insignificant person..."

After hearing this, the third prince said in surprise: "Send someone to assassinate you?! When did this happen?"

Yi Kan then told what happened on the outskirts of the city that day.

The third prince pondered for a while when he heard the words, and then said: "Although I'm not very sure, probably the two of us have experienced life and death together several times, and I have had your help to escape from death. In the eyes of Brother Wang, you have become my sycophant." Dang, if you want to put me to death, you must first get rid of you to avoid future troubles... This time is also as expected, you really risked your life and sneaked into the palace to save me..."

At that time, the night was as dense as ink, and the flames were shining brightly. When the third prince said this, his face was smiling, and he stared at Yukan, but the night was like water and his eyes were like waves.

Su Kan seemed to be aware of something, suddenly looked up and looked back, the flames of the night were intertwined, half-bright and half-dark, very ambiguous, Su Kan suddenly felt his heart beating like a drum, his mouth was dry and his body was stiff, so he lowered his eyes in a hurry, and said: "This, this is not a big deal..." Then, full of hope, he raised his head again and added, "If I were in danger, would His Highness go to rescue me regardless of safety?" At the time of saying this, Li Kan and the third prince looked at each other with clear eyes.

Hearing this, the third prince smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, but did not answer.

Seeing this, Bi Kan couldn't help but feel inexplicably disappointed, and then provoked him: "I don't know what I collided with, I'm afraid it was a bad hit. Before I went up the mountain, I killed my enemy's family, and now I'm being chased by others." If you kill him, you may be in danger of your life tomorrow... If at that time, will His Highness risk his life and come to help?"

This time the third prince turned his head away after hearing this, instead of looking at Yu Kan, he said to him: "Hearing your words, it seems that you are asking for a promise from me?"

After hearing this, Qu Kan was at a loss for words, as if he could not wait to ask for a reward after saving someone once, and was waiting to think about how to explain it. The reason is that he was just joking for a while, so he heard the third prince say: "Except for the matter of Diren Kingdom, I have not yet done it." Take off the promise to the man... But if it is to you, it is fine. If you are hunted down in the future, next time, I will definitely rescue you; ..."

This time, Li Kan didn't know that this remark would be elicited, and he was already flushed with embarrassment, and his heart was full of drama. On the one hand, he felt that this promise was so solemn, unbearable and very happy; The little daughter-in-law who came out of the boudoir was teased into such an appearance by a word, but fortunately, it was pitch black, even if she blushed, others would not be able to see clearly, otherwise she would be ashamed and humiliated... At the same time, she regretted that she really shouldn't have done so much before. Thinking, the third prince might as well not answer these words, just to avoid such embarrassing words; while thinking about it, he must have thought too much now...

At the time when Yi Kan was worried about gain and loss, like a cooked shrimp, he was still steaming, unconsciously pulling the two snakes in his hands, concentrating on the inner drama, when he accidentally heard the third prince in front of him call out sharply: "Who?! "Stand up immediately.

After hearing this, Bi Kan came back to his senses immediately, only to hear the sound of dense footsteps around him, and his heart skipped a beat, the secret passage was trapped, wouldn't he be surrounded?Are these people coming for themselves?Could it be that the promise will be fulfilled so quickly?

Afterwards, a group of warriors in armor and holding sharp knives came forward. Li Kan and the third prince stood back to back, staring at the people in front of them. The firm and straight back of the person behind him made one feel extremely reliable.

Only this time, the two of them were surrounded in the middle, they didn't know what the visitor meant, so they didn't dare to act rashly.And the place where the two were located was still some distance away from the place where the fire was lit and the clothes were dried. When the two of them stood up and were besieged, they didn't even pay attention to the place where the clothes were dried.Then I saw that the surrounding warriors suddenly parted a passage, and from the crowd, another person stepped forward from the side of the flame.The light of the flame illuminated all the way up from the brocade boots under the man's feet, and one saw that the man was well-proportioned and slender, wrapped in armor, and covered with a silver animal helmet, covering most of his true face.

When the man was fully exposed to the flames, he heard the third prince behind him shouting suddenly: "You, where did you find that jade ornament?"

Hearing the sound, Qu Kan turned around and saw that the man in the fire was wearing a military uniform, his armor was of a higher status than the people around him, and he was holding a cone-shaped jade ornament in his hand, which was carried by the third prince. Something that never goes away.Because the two of them were some distance away from the place where the fire was lit, Fang took advantage of each other's loopholes when they were surrounded.

Unexpectedly, the man snorted coldly when he heard the words, his voice was colder, but he was more gentle than ordinary men, and said to him: "This is a thing from the woman's royal family. I haven't asked you, a man of a different race, but where did you get it? "

The third prince didn't answer, he moved his feet and jumped in front of the man, wanting to take back the jade ornament.I didn't think that the man's agility was not inferior to the third prince's. Seeing the third prince flying to snatch it, he turned sideways and avoided the third prince's blow; Unarmed, he had no choice but to dodge, but was turned into an attack by the warrior, and fell into a passive position.The man swung his sword and attacked the deadly place of the third prince. Although the third prince had no weapon in hand, he dodged with his body skills, but he was never stabbed by the man.Even in such a stalemate, the third prince never took back the jade ornament from that man.Seeing that the third prince was very skilled, the man immediately changed his moves, sweeping away thousands of troops with one move, and then piercing flowers and willows, forcefully forcing the third prince back.The third prince retreated a foot, thinking that if he had no weapons, it would be difficult for him to fight for the lead from the man's sword, then he turned around and slammed a palm at the person beside him, the man was caught off guard and dropped his long sword, the third prince kicked He kicked the long sword up into the air, jumped up, flew to catch it, and then attacked the person who had snatched the jade ornament with the sword.Unexpectedly, the man saw that the situation was not good, and just now had a fight, he knew that the third prince was very skilled, and this time he was holding a sword in his hand, which can be said to be even more powerful. As soon as they landed, they saw the people who had gathered just now scattered in all directions, fleeing in the dark, like splashes of water, they disappeared in an instant.And the figure of the leader was light and flexible, like a wild beast in the mountains, and disappeared into the dark mountains with three jumps and two jumps.

The third prince wanted to fly in search of the leader and retrieve the jade ornament, but he thought that Yu Kan was here alone, and his spiritual power had not yet recovered. Withdraw and return to the place where the fire was lit.

Seeing this, Qu Kan also understood the third prince's intentions, thanked him falteringly, and said: "When tomorrow dawns, when my spiritual power recovers, I can summon Panhu to assist in the search."

The third prince agreed upon hearing this.

Then the two of them stopped talking.Only at dawn the next day, Yu Kan woke up with his eyes open, turned his head and looked around, looking for the third prince.Unexpectedly, when his eyes swept over a person sitting on the mat not far from him, he was stunned and almost dropped his jaw. He stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at that person, stammering and asking: "Dian, Your Highness?!"
