Chapter 77: Provocation
Seeing Cang Ye coming over, Chu Jingtian's expression moved, and he jumped into the water directly without hesitation. Le-Wen
This scene made the few students who fetched water and drank stunned, and even Cang Ye and Yemo were stunned.
Only the third prince Cangyan, who was slowly coming, seemed to think of something and rushed towards the waterhole quickly.
But he was a step slower after all, and when he rushed to the edge of the pool, Chu Jingtian had already floated out of the water.
The faces of the few students who fetched water and drank were a little ugly, and they could see clearly that Chu was clearly taking something from under the gravel at the bottom of the pool, and they had stayed here for so long, and they had not found anything.
It wasn't until Cang Ye saw Cang Yan who stopped beside him with a gloomy face that he understood why Chu Jingtian suddenly jumped into the water.
Their actions must have aroused Cang Yan's suspicions, and if they didn't strike first, then the key could be discovered by Cang Yan.
By that time, with Cang Yan's domineering character, it is estimated that a battle will be inevitable.
Chu Jingtian climbed out of the pool, nodded at Cang Ye, and then walked alone to the woods next to him to change clothes.
Cang Ye looked at Cang Yan with a smile, "Third Emperor Brother, I'm sorry, this time I'm the first step." ”
The meaning of this sentence is, I have already got the key, so you don't have to make up your mind anymore.
The expression on Cang Yan's face changed several times, and finally a smile appeared, "Then congratulations to the seventh brother." ”
He wanted to snatch the key, but once the two sides went to war, even if he could win, his strength would inevitably be damaged, which was extremely unfavorable to his subsequent seizure, so he still endured it.
"Thank you, Brother Huang, I'm sure Brother Huang will be able to find a key too. Cang Ye said with a smile.
"Then I will lend you good words. As the words fell, Cang Ye waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the outside of the valley, and the few students who drank water also followed.
There can't be two keys in one place, and there's no point in them staying.
After a while, Chu Jingtian, who had changed his clothes, walked back, looked at Cang Yan and the others who were walking away, and said with some surprise: "He didn't rob hard, which was beyond my expectations." ”
He wanted to grab it, but after weighing the pros and cons, he didn't do it. Cang Ye said. For his brothers, he naturally knows a lot about it.
"Here, take a look!" Chu Jingtian said, turning over his hand and taking out a half-palm-sized oilcloth package and handing it to Cang Ye.
This is what he found underwater, this time the movement is relatively large, everyone knows that he has found the key, and there is no need to hide it.
Cang Ye opened the oilcloth, and inside was a blue octagonal jade pendant and a piece of paper.
"Huh?" The moment he saw the jade pendant, Chu was shocked, and immediately picked up the jade pendant and looked at it.
The blue jade pendant is a standard octagonal shape, and in the middle position, there is a 'six' character engraved, and there is no other pattern.
The key was identical to the one he had found before, both in shape and size, but different in color and the number engraved on it.
The key he had found earlier was purple with 'Seven' engraved on it.
At first, he didn't pay attention to the 'seven', but now it seems that the number should be the number of the key.
"What did you find?" Hearing Chu's shocking exclamation, Cang Ye couldn't help but ask.
"The number engraved on this key should be the number. Chu Jingtian said, put the number six key back in Cang Ye's hand, and then picked up the paper again and looked at it.
It's also a map, exactly like the one before it.
The two maps both point to one place, so Chu Jingtian judged that there should be such a piece of paper in all the keys, all pointing to the same place.
With a move in his heart, Chu Jingtian raised the piece of paper in his hand and said, "Let's go to this place now." ”
He suddenly realized that the number of the key must have a role, and he had a very bold guess in his mind.
"Don't look for the key?" asked Cang Ye.
It had only been half a day since they entered the secret realm, and according to his estimate, the keys had not yet been found.
"I'm not looking for it. Chu shook his head and motioned for Cang Ye to move forward according to the map.
Although the key is important, if his guess is correct, then if he continues to look for the key, he may miss something important.
Although Cang Ye didn't understand what Chu Jingtian meant, he trusted Chu Jingtian unconditionally, so with a wave of his hand, he led a group of people and horses and began to move towards the place drawn on the map.
According to the map, the place was almost at the edge of a hundred miles, nearly sixty miles away from them.
Seeing that the time was already in the afternoon, Cang Ye couldn't help but speed up his pace.
The mountain roads were rough and difficult to walk after dark, so they had to get there before dark.
Rushing all the way, when the sky was about to dark, the group finally arrived at their destination.
It is a huge valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only one side can be accessed. In the middle of the valley, near the three mountains, there is a square of nearly 10,000 square meters, completely paved with bluestone.
It was a big undertaking to lay such a large square in the middle of the mountain, and it is clear that the former owner of this place was very unusual.
Before Chu Jingtian and his entourage walked to the bluestone square, they unexpectedly found that there were already people cooking on the fire.
When they got closer, they saw clearly that it was the great prince's men and horses.
"Hehe, the seventh brother can come here, he must have found the key, congratulations!"
"Brother Huang came earlier than me, so he must have gained a lot!" Cang Ye responded with a smile.
"I'm just lucky. The eldest prince said modestly, but then turned his gaze to Chu Jingtian, and said with a smile: "This is the newcomer of Canglong Academy, Wang Chu Jingtian! Sure enough, there are dragons and phoenixes among people, I really have no eyes, otherwise I would never have watched you join the camp of the seventh brother this morning." ”
This passage is even boastful, which can win people's favor, and it can be said that its sleek nature is exposed to the extreme.
In fact, the reason why he knew Chu Jingtian was because of the ten people that King Cangqing had placed in his personal guard. After the selection of the camp was over today, some of the ten people found him, explaining Chu Jingtian's identity.
And the reason why he is so enthusiastic now is also for another purpose.
For Cang Xiu's inexplicable enthusiasm, Chu Jingtian faintly felt that something was wrong, but still according to the etiquette, he said: "Thank you for the praise of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, I dare not be ashamed, in fact, I can get the rookie king, it is just a fluke." ”
"Hehe, Brother Chu is humble. Cang Xiu's gaze turned to Cang Ye again, and said with a smile, "Seventh brother, it's rare to meet a character like Brother Chu today, why don't we have a drink together?"
"It's okay, then it's going to bother the royal brother. Cang Ye nodded and agreed.
Although everyone will have to compete for the position of prince in the future, it is inevitable that they will fight each other, but now that the battle has not started, it is really difficult for him to refuse.
"Haha, it's too late for me to be happy, why bother, you come with me!" Cang Xiu smiled heartily, turned around and walked towards the place where he was sitting just now.
Cang Ye motioned to the group of people behind him to make their own fire and cook, and then stepped forward to follow.
Although Chu Jingtian felt that there was a problem with Cang Xiu's enthusiasm, but now in this situation, he couldn't refuse, so he had to follow.
And Yemo, in line with the principle of where Chu Jingtian goes, followed behind Chu Jingtian.
When the three of them walked over, someone had already laid a mat on the ground.
After the eldest prince beckoned the three of them to sit down, his eyes suddenly turned to Yemo, and said with a smile: "The name of Miss Yemo, the first beauty of Canglong, I am also like thunder, when I see it today, it is really the best in the world, if it is not for the prince's marriage is not autonomous, I am afraid that I will have to fight with you Brother Chu!"
A slightly ridiculous compliment, it would have been easy to win favor, but unfortunately, he met Yemo.
Hearing this, Yemo just nodded lightly at Cang Xiu and did not speak.
In this regard, Cang Xiu didn't care about it, and personally poured wine for a few people, and then lifted the wine glass, and smiled at a few people: "Seeing each other is fate, let's do one for this fate." ”
When the words fell, he raised his glass and drank it all.
Watching Cang Xiu swallow the wine, Chu Jingtian tilted his neck and drank the wine in the cup.
Yemo raised his glass and gestured, and then put it back as it was. She doesn't want to use other people's drinking utensils.
In the following time, Chu Jingtian fully saw the smooth side of the eldest prince.
It was obviously the first time for several people to meet, but under the mediation of the eldest prince, they did not seem cold and embarrassed at all, which shows that the eldest prince is sophisticated.
After three rounds of drinking, the eldest prince's tone of words changed, and he once again pulled the topic to Chu Jingtian, "Speaking of which, Brother Chu won the rookie king at a young age, such an achievement is really unattainable for ordinary people!"
"Where, the eldest prince is overrated. Chu Jingtian said modestly.
Such praise, he can only answer like this. However, in his heart, he felt more and more inappropriate, this big prince has been praising him like this, there is definitely a problem.
"Brother Chu is too modest, I am a little jealous of the seventh brother, being able to get a talent like you. Cang Xiu said in a rather envious tone: "At least, among my personal guards, I can't pick out a talent like you, Brother Chu." ”
"Your Highness, it doesn't seem right for you to say that!"
Behind Cang Xiu, a young man who looked like a guard stood up unconvinced, "Although this Chu brother has won the rookie king, our brother is not bad." ”
"Or, let me compare with Brother Chu?"
