Chapter 124: Combination Lock
Lin Wan'er looked in the direction of the voice, with a little surprise in her eyes, and said with some hesitation: "Second cousin, why are you here too?!" ”
When the prince saw the arrival of the second prince, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but in an instant, he returned to his usual approachable appearance, turned around, helped the second prince, and said in a harmonious voice: "Second brother, we are all family. Today is not above the court, these customs can still be avoided! ”
The second prince naturally didn't eat the prince's set, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Since this is the case, the minister has thanked His Royal Highness the prince!" ”
Lin Wan'er watched the performance of the two cousins on the side, and thought to herself, the second cousin and the third cousin are here, it seems that something big should have happened in Kyoto today. And the woman's natural intuition told her that this matter was very likely to be related to Ye Xuan.
"I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is out of the palace today, what is the so-called matter? You must know that the period of grounding that Your Majesty said has just passed. The second prince said suddenly.
The prince thought to himself that his good second brother was really coming for him.
"Second brother, this Kyoto Prefecture has not been peaceful recently, and there have been thieves outside the city recently. I heard that Wan'er came out to play today, and I was a little worried and followed! ”
Lin Wan'er was a little moved when she heard this, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern!" ”
The second prince smiled contemptuously, thinking that such a lie could only deceive a simple-minded person like Lin Wan'er, thinking of this, he paused for a moment, and said: "The minister came here today because I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out of the city without a guard. His Royal Highness is the foundation of a country, so he brought Xie Bi'an to escort him! ”
"Oh, I see. That's me, the crown prince, who worries my brother. The prince smiled slightly and said softly.
"The minister doesn't dare, it's just for His Highness!" The second prince smiled softly, and the smile on his face gave people a sense of cynicism.
After hearing this, the prince's face was a little unbearable, and he snorted coldly: "In this way, I should thank the second brother for always caring about me as a prince!" ”
It's just that on the word prince, the tone is a little heavier, and the meaning is a little more.
"The prince is the foundation of a country, and the courtier is always concerned." Speaking of this, the second prince took a few steps forward, and the mocking smile on his face became more and more obvious.
Lin Wan'er looked at the tense appearance of her two cousins, and suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, a kind of sadness as a royal child. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but think of the teenager who had just separated from her.
Maybe without him, he would have become like a second cousin and a third cousin competing for power, without thinking about flesh and blood affection. Gradually, she loses herself and becomes a tool in her quest for power, or she becomes a second mother.
Of course, it is most likely to be in a no-man's corner, waiting for the arrival of hope, and finally dying alone in the torment of illness....
"Wan'er, where's Ye Xuan?! Why didn't I stay with you? At this moment, the second prince's faint voice came.
Lin Wan'er glanced at the second prince and forcibly suppressed the discomfort in her heart, "Ye Xuan, he went hunting, and it is estimated that he will come back after a while." I don't know what you're looking for him, second brother?! ”
......
"Old Ye, what do you think this is?!" Fan Xian pointed to a black thing, and his face was suddenly full of excitement.
Ye Xuan looked in the direction of Fan Xian's finger and found a black thing about the size of his face, which glowed a little under the shimmer of light.
Seeing this, Fan Xian took out the prepared torches and matches from his backpack, fortunately his bag was made of cowhide, and the torches and fire were only a little damp, but they could still be used.
Click!
The faint light of fire began to illuminate the surroundings, and Ye Xuan saw clearly at this moment that the black thing before turned out to be a combination lock.
Ye Xuan directly slashed down with a sword, wanting to break this password lock directly with the sharpness of the Shui Han Sword. After all, this lock should have been left by Ye Qingmei and Wuzhu, as for what the password is, you can't ask them!
Ye Qingmei is dead, and Wuzhu is not around. Now around the lake, there should be a lot of people stationed, if you choose to ask what the Wuzhu password is, in that case, not to mention whether you can escape smoothly, all the previous efforts will be wasted!
Seeing this, Fan Xian was about to stop it, but it was faster than his sword, and the crisp sound of metal colliding instantly spread throughout the bottom of the lake. However, what Ye Xuan didn't expect was that the Shui Han Sword, which was usually invincible, actually capsized in this small gutter.
Ye Xuan suddenly felt a little surprised, and looked at the sight created by the firelight, the combination lock stood still, leaving only a small gap on it, like a tenacious and unyielding warrior, swearing to guard his own responsibilities and obligations.
Fan Xian sighed, and then explained: "Uncle Wuzhu said that this combination lock and the gate are the same as the box left by my mother, they are made of a mysterious metal, which is very tough. Even if it is a divine weapon, it is difficult to hurt him in the slightest. ”
"And my mother was afraid that someone would use this powerful force to fulfill her ambitions. If someone forcibly breaks through the forbidden door, the mechanism inside will be activated, and the entire forbidden door and the secret behind it will be destroyed! ”
At this moment, a familiar mechanical sound sounded in Ye Xuan's mind again.
"Ding, the host is detected to reach the forbidden gate, and the system automatically generates the strongest selection task."
"Option 1: Break the law with all your might, don't listen to Fan Xian's persuasion, insist on destroying the door of the taboo, and don't let others get the secrets that you can't get. Reward: Eight-grade Sword Technique "Divine Sword Duel" (from the peerless Shuangjiao World)"
"Option 2: Listen to Fan Xian's persuasion, find the password, open the password lock, and obtain the secret behind the forbidden door. Reward: The complete version of the Nine Rank Sword Technique "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky". ”
"Option 3: Leave directly, break out of the encirclement, and escape from the Taiping Courtyard. Rewards: The six-grade body method "Ten Thousand Miles Alone" and the seven-grade exercise method "Finger Magic". ”
Ye Xuan saw that Fan Xian knew everything about the password lock, and then looked at the choice given by the system, and said firmly: "I choose two, listen to Fan Xian's persuasion, since I came here, there is absolutely no reason to leave empty-handed." ”
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Since Wuzhu knows so clearly, then he must also know what this password is, right?!" ”
Fan Xian shook his head after hearing this, and said, "This password was set by my mother alone back then, so even Uncle Wuzhu doesn't know what the password is?!"
"Still, he vaguely remembered that he had heard my mother say this, and the password should have something to do with me."
