Chapter 15 The Jade Box

If you want to say that Ye Kong, the eighth young master, the family maids don't scare him, but those soldiers who rotate regularly outside are not familiar with the situation, so take him seriously, and everyone will stop talking when he speaks. 】

"Come and drink. Ye Kong and Liu Changqing sat at the same table.

Liu Changqing saw that the Eighth Young Master poured wine for himself, and said that he didn't dare, so he quickly took it and poured it full for Ye Kong.

Ye Kong smiled, "I'm here to introspect on my ancestors, how can I drink." ”

"Drink less, I shouldn't drink either. Liu Changqing lifted the small clay bowl, reluctant to drink it dry, and took a big sip.

"Then I'll accompany General Liu to drink a bowl too. Ye Kong also took a sip, the first time he drank the wine of the Cangnan Continent, the degree was not high, not too low, the taste was not bad, and there was a grassy fragrance.

"Good wine. Ye Kong put down the wine bowl and asked again, "Is this iron-clad bull so powerful, it was seriously injured and several brothers were injured before they caught it?"

"Of course it's amazing!" Liu Changqing said, "This iron-skinned bull is the size of three or four ordinary cows, and the skin can't be pierced by a steel gun, but it's amazing." After Liu Changqing finished speaking, he sighed again, "But the skin, bones, and horns, those are all good things, the skin can be used as armor, the bones can be used as medicine, and the horns can be used as weapons, or how can it be a medium-grade spirit animal." ”

"The middle grade of the unordered is so powerful. Ye Kong grinned and asked again, "Then why don't you kill a little more iron-clad bulls, so that the armor of the brothers is lighter and stronger?"

Liu Changqing said with a smile, "You are talking about it in layman's terms, as soon as this iron-skinned bull appears, it is a group, thousands of them, don't look at it as a medium-grade spirit beast, the number is terrifying, even if it is an immortal, it will not dare to carry it, the tide is pouring down, you will not be able to use hundreds of thousands of troops, and it will die when it rushes back and forth, for their skin, is it cost-effective?"

"I see. Ye Kong suddenly realized, and then asked very recklessly, as if suddenly remembering: "Oh, what is the matter with my father coming in the afternoon?"

Liu Changqing didn't think about it happily, and said, "It seems to be putting something." ”

Liu Changqing is also a clever person, as soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly said to Ye Kong, "Eighth Young Master, don't hurt me, what do you want to ask yourself, ask the general yourself, to be honest, I don't know what the general did when he entered the house, you didn't hear what you said just now, and if you heard it, don't say it's the villain." ”

"Hehe, seeing that you are nervous, I will ask casually, will I still harm my father, or will I not be a foreign spy?" Ye Kong said with a big grin.

That Liu Changqing looked at Ye Kong and felt that it was right, was he overly vigilant, although this eighth young master was punished by the general today, but after all, it was father and son, not to mention that General Ye was not a military secret, so he said it.

In fact, the guards are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, today it happened that Liu Changqing passed by the door, just saw Ye Haoran's back, saw him saluted incense and then touched the jade box on the middle altar, and walked out with the key after the most reluctant, Liu Changqing easily guessed that Ye Haoran put something in the box.

"Come on, come on, drink. ”

"Drink. ”

The two drank a small amount of wine, but they had their own calculations in their hearts.

Ye Kong listened to Liu Changqing's words, and his heart was shocked, he had guessed that there was a reason why his father came to the ancestral hall, otherwise Ye Haoran was so angry at that time, did he come to burn incense to dissipate his anger?

Listening to Liu Changqing's words again, there seemed to be a flash of thunder and lightning in his brain, "Bang!" A book as white as jade appeared.

Yes, it is possible, it is very likely, this book is the heirloom of the Ye family, and Ye Haoran is very likely to put it in the ancestral hall, if it is really like that, it is really fate, just while introspecting and cultivating immortals.

Ye Kong's heart was overjoyed, and he was not interested in eating and drinking when he had a mind, and after chatting with Liu Changqing for a while, he hurriedly went back to the ancestral hall, wanting to find the place where Ye Haoran was hiding.

However, he is also a thoughtful person, and as soon as he entered the door, he thought, will this Liu Changqing report this matter to Ye Haoran? This guy can come to the Ye Family Ancestral Hall to guard the door, he must be Ye Haoran's confidant, and it is normal to report the situation.

So Ye Kong walked into the ancestral hall and did not rush to find it, but lowered his head and sat directly on the futon, reading by candlelight, but his eyes were at the door of the ancestral hall.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw a black shadow passing by at the entrance of the ancestral hall. It was the centurion Liu Changqing who came, he sat there after dinner, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, if the eighth young master really stole the general's treasure, then he would be a big sin.

So he sneaked to the door, observed the situation inside, and looked, fortunately, the eighth young master was reading there, it seemed that he was too careful.

Ye Kong pretended to be reading, and his heart was also cold, it seemed that there was no harm in being careful, and he was almost caught.

After waiting for a while, he estimated that Liu Changqing had already left, pretended to be sleepy, and turned back and forth, but he still didn't dare to act, and then turned back, put on his coat and lay crookedly to sleep.

Introspection in the ancestral hall is the heaviest punishment of the Ye family, you can't eat well, you don't have a place to sleep, you haven't been free, oh, and there is fear, if you change to other young masters, you can't stand it for a long time, but Ye Kong thinks about that scripture, no matter how big the torture is, he is not afraid, not to mention this crime.

In the middle of the night, many candles in the ancestral hall had been extinguished, and I don't know where the yin wind came from.

His body was a little cold, but his heart was hot.

Almost, find!

The jade box is not difficult to find, it is just below the central altar, but it is locked and cannot be opened, and the box and the base are connected to a whole piece of jade, and it cannot be opened without unlocking.

Smashing the jade box, Ye Kong would not turn his face with Ye Haoran because of this.

Since the lock can only be opened, then the key can only be used, Ye Haoran will not take the initiative to give him the key, but this can't help Ye Kong, although he is not a thief, but as a gangster leader on the street, he often deals with thieves, and he also knows a little bit about twisting the door and picking the lock.

Although this is not a buddy's strong point, but this ancient lock is easy to open, Ye Kong studied it all night, and felt that he was still sure, so he decided to find an opportunity to go out and get a small iron drill or something to open the lock.

However, it was a little inconvenient to go out, and when he wanted to leave the next day, he realized that those soldiers still had the role of guarding him, and forbade him to leave the courtyard.

Ye Kong was helpless, so he could only sit in the ancestral hall and look at those spiritual tablets in a daze, and it seemed that he had to wait for the return of home once in five days.

But who knew that the opportunity would come at noon, Ye Wei came to see him with a quilt on the bed, saying that Chen Jiuniang asked him to bring it.

The two brothers chatted, chatting and talking about Zhang Wude, and Ye Kong asked if there was any story about this Zhang Wude.

Ye Weiha smiled, took out an ear, plucked his ear, and said, "This Zhang Wude is a person from the neighboring Wuguo, and he is very famous in the Wuguo area, and he entered the Wuguo court at a young age, and he was very appreciated by the emperor, and their Zhang family is also a big family, and the people are prosperous, but who knows, I don't know who his family offended, and he was wiped out overnight, and Zhang Wude's wife and daughter were also killed at that time." ”

"Ah, that's right. Ye Hollow said no wonder the old man kept a straight face all day long, daring to love and this sad past.

"Yes, the Zhang family was killed, and only Zhang Wude escaped with his life, which is miserable. Ye Wei also said with a sigh.

"Doesn't the emperor appreciate him very much, why don't you want the emperor to help him avenge him?" Ye Kong asked again.

Ye Wei shook his head, "I don't know what to do, I guess the murderer emperor can't afford to provoke him." ”

Ye Kong thought for a moment, and then guessed, "The emperor can't be provoked?" That must be an immortal cultivator, no wonder he spoke in such a tone. ”

"The eighth brother is really smart. Ye Wei nodded and praised, "However, we are also guessing, Mr. Zhang himself does not say, who knows what is going on in Lu Dao." ”

"Sir must have come to our Anguo to avoid being chased and killed, was taken in by his father, and then lived an incognito life, right?" Ye Kong continued to speculate.

This time he guessed wrong, (6) Ye Wei shook his head and smiled, "Eighth brother, you didn't guess right this time, but maybe ordinary people have to guess like this, but you have forgotten, a person like Mr. Zhang Wude, if he is really chased and killed by immortals, how can he come to someone else's house and bring disaster to others?"

"Yes, that's right. Ye Kong nodded, after a short time together, he still admired Zhang Wude's character very much.

"Actually, that's the case, I guess the murderous immortal family is just to vent his anger, and it doesn't matter if he kills someone's family, Zhang Wude has a lot of reputation among the people, and the immortals don't complain about making people angry, so he let him go, but because the emperor didn't avenge him, he simply came to our Anguo, and just met his father, so he lived in our house. ”

Ye Kong couldn't help but nod and said, "Big brother's reasoning ability is much stronger than mine." ”

Ye Wei smiled, "Where, where, in fact, I am the stupidest." Then he shook his head and sighed, "Actually, Mr. Zhang is also very bitter." ”

Ye Kong also flattened his mouth, nodded and said, "If I have the opportunity, I have to help Mr. avenge his hatred." ”

Ye Wei was startled by him, his ears almost poked into his ears, and he hurriedly said, "Eighth brother, don't mess around, immortals are not something we can afford to provoke, don't look at the Ye family commanding thousands of troops, but it's still not enough to look at the immortals." ”

Ye Kong smiled, "Don't worry, big brother, I'm not stupid, on the contrary, I'm still very tactful, what to say to whom, I know very well." ”

Ye Wei said in his heart, I'm afraid that when you get excited, it won't be like this.

After chatting for a while, Ye Wei was ready to leave, and said, "I'm going back to the barracks, I can't leave for too long, take good care of myself." Patting Ye Kong on the shoulder, "I'm leaving." ”

This eldest brother gave Ye Kong the feeling that he was really like a brother, Ye Kong nodded with a smile, watched Ye Wei leave, and watched him go far before he suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, big brother, wait, my ears itch too. ”
