The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 679 Time difference

After hearing her words, Yang Yang froze for a moment.

Since Jin Peng never told Feng Feng that he was going to visit him.In other words, if he disappeared now, for Phoenix, he would never know that such a person existed.Coupled with Jin Peng's control over the entire second-floor palace, Yang Yang felt that even if he disappeared, the wind would not reach Phoenix's ears at all.

Jinpeng has been using the strategy of delaying the attack from the very beginning, and it may not be intentional.

It was just out of intuition that he wanted to hide this matter for a longer time. Maybe he simply forgot, but the development of the matter was completely beyond everyone's expectations. At this time, he found that there was no need to hide it, but a different Way to keep this matter from ever seeing the light of day.

If Yang Yang were Jinpeng, he would choose which method to use to eliminate future troubles—that is, during the period when the power of the Bird Clan was in a vacuum and Phoenix Nirvana recovered, he would kill himself to silence him.

Let's not say whether he has this idea, but it is true that those people around him wish they could die.

For princes like Jinpeng and Peacock, the subjects around them always want to kill each other more than they do.Yang Yang couldn't understand this point, but later he realized the power of it.Be it Peacock or Jinpeng, no matter who is in power, the other one can always be a prince or something. No matter what the purpose is, whichever one is in place will never make the other's life too difficult.

That's because they are related by blood, which will never change.But it’s not necessarily the case for other people, especially those who were by the prince’s side when they seized the throne. Whether it’s because of their own status or to make an example of others, the new ruler will not make these people feel better.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if the person in the upper position does not know how to settle accounts after the fall, their situation is obviously more difficult than that of the courtiers with the merits of the dragon.

Only when the princes they support are prosperous can they have their wealth.

This point, no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, or both worlds of humans and monsters, is an unchanging truth.

Therefore, Yang Yang didn't want to gamble with his life on whether Jinpeng would have trouble with him, and he didn't even want to gamble on the character of the people around him.The so-called one must not have the heart of harming others, and one must not have the heart of guarding against others, whether it is Qingyi or Yang Yang, this is the first sentence that comes to mind.

That's why Qingyi sneaked into Yang Yang's room in the middle of the night to wake him up...

Thinking of this, Yang Yang immediately looked up at Qingyi and asked, "So, where are we going?"

"Get out of here." Qingyi said, turned around and walked quickly to the door, looked around after opening the door, and said: "I have already told the person on duty, you go down here first, go to the next door. People hide in the palaces where people live for a while, and then find a chance to sneak out."

"Can you get out?" Yang Yang remembered that when he came here, he saw the picture. Although the palace has three floors, even the bottom floor is far away from the ground. Birds like to build their nests in trees, they don't need to build their houses on the ground!In addition, the people who enter and exit will have wings when transformed into prototypes, and there will be no inconvenience in traveling.

"I will find a way when the time comes." Qingyi was silent for a moment before speaking.

In fact, up to now, she has not thought of any comprehensive plan, and can only say that she takes one step at a time.

The two avoided the patrolling guards, and soon led by Qingyi to the palace on the third floor.

Because today is the day when the phoenix was reborn, and things happened suddenly, most of the guards were sent to the first floor to guard against foreign enemies.When the Phoenix Nirvana is the time when the Bird Clan is most vulnerable.

And the clans in the demon world have never been good at it. Since ancient times, there have been endless lawsuits between some ethnic groups, and this is even more so in the demon world.

In the beginning, in order to compete for resources, every race shed blood between other races.

These things are usually covered up, and once one of the races shows signs of fatigue, it's time for the other races to take action - taking advantage of his illness to kill him, this point, the monsters have also learned very well.

Therefore, this arrangement is more convenient for Yang Yang. He followed Qingyi and walked towards the third floor. Only at this time did Yang Yang realize that the cloak Qingyi gave him was black, and it would flash blue light under the light. Yang Yang has only seen this kind of cloak on Jinpeng's personal bodyguards. According to Caiyue, this kind of cloak is the exclusive symbol of the Qingluan family.

Qingluanniao has always been a close servant of the royal family. They have been responsible for taking care of the daily life of the royal family for generations, and they hold important positions in the royal palace.

And this generation, it seems that because of the relationship between the two princes, there has been a division from within, but Yang Yang is not clear about the specific situation, and these things have nothing to do with him.

Relying on Qingyi's mediation and the cloak on his body, Yang Yang came to the third-floor palace without any risk. Qingyi took him to an abandoned house, and then rewrapped the cloak, leaving a sentence: " I'll go out first." After that, he left.

Yang Yang was alone in the house.This place seems to be unoccupied, but it is spotless, and the decorations are not bad. There is nothing left and right, so Yang Yang began to observe this house.

Finally, he finally found fun in the patterns on the beams, which seemed to tell a story about how the phoenix was so wise and mighty, and how it accepted the worship of a hundred birds.Yang Yang looked up at the pattern on the beam, and moved slowly with the pattern.

"Huh? No more?" Those paintings didn't finish, but were blocked by another beam in the room when they were halfway through.

About half an hour later, Qingyi came back, and as soon as she entered the door, she gave Yang Yang a jade pendant.The jade pendant was made of warm white jade, with a faint cyan color in the middle. Although it looked a bit abstract, Yang Yang could still tell that its shape was a bird with wings spread out.

This is probably the token of the Qingluan Clan, right?Yang Yang looked at the jade pendant in his hand and thought so.

"This is our clan's jade pendant. Under normal circumstances, you can freely enter and leave Wutong Palace with this jade pendant, but now is a special period... I don't know if it can be done. But I will give you this jade pendant first, if..." Qingyi paused for a while before continuing: "I mean, if you encounter special circumstances, maybe it can save your life."

"Thank you." Yang Yang put away the jade pendant, then raised his head to look at Qingyi and asked, "Haven't you ever thought that what I said is all false? Is it for self-protection?" Just because he said, Peacock Qingyi took such a big risk to help herself without dying, which is really a bit... How should I put it, Yang Yang felt that she seemed too naive.

Whether it is to smuggle himself into the third-floor palace, or give him a tip-off, or hand over this token-like thing to himself, no matter from which aspect, it is very risky.After all, this is Jinpeng's territory, and no matter what she is, she is just a servant.

"Because no one can know His Highness's whereabouts except you, and no one can help His Highness except you." Qingyi's eyes turned red instantly after hearing his words.

There are many things that Yang Yang is afraid of in his life. If there is one thing he is most afraid of, it must be women's tears.

As soon as he saw that Qingyi's eyes were red and she was about to cry, he immediately panicked and said hurriedly: "Oh, don't worry, nothing will happen, the peacock will definitely come back! Don't cry! Don't cry!"

"His Highness has been away for a hundred years, but there has been no news. Otherwise, the second prince would not have said that the entire Wutong Palace was a piece of iron." Qingyi barely stopped her tears when she heard his comfort. Then she raised her head and said to him: "Now that the king is going to Nirvana, the second prince has the final say on everything. If His Highness doesn't come back... I'm afraid it will be too late."

Listening to her words, Yang Yang originally wanted to comfort her, but after hearing about the hundred years, he froze in an instant.

"Wait! What did you just say? A hundred years? You said it's been 100 years since the peacock left?" Yang Yang looked at Qingyi with a strange expression on his face. Crying is not crying, and laughing is not laughing.

Although Qingyi found this expression strange, she still answered his question: "Your Highness left the demon world to find a passage. To be precise, it should be 120 years."

"One hundred...twenty...years?" Yang Yang repeated the main points in her words, and his whole body froze.

He finally knew why Yuan Mu and the others hadn't found him after he had been here for almost a month, because it was only a few minutes in the human world that he was here for a month!
It was only a few months when the peacock came to the human world. Now that Qingyi said it was hundreds of years, it is obvious that there is a time difference between the two worlds.

If it is really what I guessed, then it is very possible that by the time Yuan Mu and the others find him, he should have turned into a pile of bones...

Seeing that he seemed to have suffered a great blow, Qingyi asked cautiously: "What's the matter? Young Master?"

"No, it's nothing." This kind of thing couldn't be explained clearly for a while, so Yang Yang decided not to talk about it. He looked up at Qing Yi and asked, "When will we be able to get out of the palace?"
