Chapter 23, Turmoil Spreads
A few days later, the Ye family gradually came out of the "enemy attack" and began to repair the collapsed building.
"Woo woo woo, father, why did you leave like this? What do you want me to do in the future?"
There was a cry from the courtyard of the three elders, and a coffin was placed in the courtyard that had become a ruin, and the bodies of the three elders had been loaded into the coffin.
Ye Wu wore linen and filial piety, and cried loudly, which made many Ye family disciples secretly cry.
The four elders kept patting Ye Wu's shoulder and comforted.
"Virtuous nephew, let's mourn and change, who would have thought that the gangsters of that day would be so rampant, after making trouble for my Ye family, they went straight to my Ye family's important land, and were blocked by the three elders on the way, and finally the two of them had a big fight, and the momentum shook the earth, and when the old man and other elders arrived, both of them fell, which is the most pity, the most regrettable. Although the three elders were defeated by the invaders that day at that time, they dragged him to the death and prevented the invaders from entering the Ye family's important land, which is really a model for my Ye family and a great hero for my Ye family!"
The four elders burst into tears, and their emotions were invested in it, which made everyone sigh for the three elders.
As he spoke, the four elders motioned to several servants of the Ye family to move a corpse over, which was already unrecognizable, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
If Ye Haoxian was here, he would definitely exclaim Wu Keqing?! This is naturally the method of the Ye family head and many elders.
First, it is to stabilize the many disciples and servants of the Ye family, and second, it is also to show other forces in Jiangcheng, so that everyone thinks that this is the case, but it is not.
"Who dares to be so rampant? Dare to go straight into the Ye family and kill my father?"
Ye Wu still didn't believe how he felt that this incident happened very strangely, as if it was artificially covered with a veil of mystery.
The fourth elder smiled secretly in his heart, he naturally knew the specific process of this matter, but would he say it?
Speaking out would offend Ye Haoxian and Ye Mingchuan, and it would also destroy the situation that many elders had worked so hard to set up, which would undoubtedly make it difficult for him to move forward in the Ye family, so he would never say it, and he would never dare to say it.
"Virtuous nephew Mu should be too sad, the old man can tell you very responsibly, in fact, we don't know who the person is, it should be someone who has formed a big relationship with the three elders before, or someone who has a deep hatred for my Ye family, otherwise he would not act like this. ”
Under the persuasion of the four elders, Ye Wu had to accept this fact, hugging the coffin and crying.
And on that day, there were also a few servants of the Ye family who witnessed Ye Haoxian's move, but they were quickly cleaned up by many elders one by one, leaving no hidden dangers.
After all, Ye Wu has a good talent, if he can, try to let him stay in the Ye family, if he knows about this matter, then he has to send Ye Wu to see his dead father, after all, this kind of thing can't be spread outside, and it can't be known to other Ye family disciples.
"In fact, not only the three elders died in this incident, but also Wu Keqing, Wu Keqing's bones are not left, as if the world has evaporated, my Ye family can only even set up a mound for Wu Keqing, it is not that the Ye family and many elders are incompetent, but it is really too fierce and there is no leakage of the slightest rumor, and my Ye family has also suffered heavy losses in this incident,"
The eyes of the four elders were slightly red, and their voices were very low, Ye Wu frequently looked up at the four elders, and saw that the four elders' expressions did not seem to be fake, and they no longer doubted it.
Seeing that Ye Wu believed, the four elders patted Ye Wu on the shoulder, turned around and left.
"Wu Keqing, then you still need the old man to go, and the old man won't stay here longer. ”
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the four elders had already walked out of the third elder's courtyard, saying that the courtyard had actually become a ruin.
Ye Wu saw the four elders leaving, and when he looked at the coffin in front of him again, he couldn't help crying loudly.
In the small pavilion by the lake, the two figures were talking happily and smiling.
"Haoxian, how did you know that the Third Elder had done something in the meal?" Ye Mingchuan asked suspiciously.
Ye Haoxian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Originally, I didn't know, but I met a kitten on the way, and when I saw him wailing on the side, I couldn't bear it, so I gave it a few pieces of meat." Who knew that after eating the kitten, its body would become straight and stiff, and its eyes would be lifeless and spiritual. Becoming like a puppet, I was puzzled when I checked the food and found that there was no unusual smell or smell. ”
After a pause, Ye Haoxian continued to speak, and said, "Fortunately, I used to go to the library often, and I saw a record of the ghost flower in the "Zhiwei Collection", which was exactly the same as what happened to the kitten, so I dared to conclude that it was the ghost flower. ”
Ye Mingchuan patted his chest with some joy, took a long breath, and said.
"It's a good thing you were kind at the time, otherwise it would have been terrible. ”
Ye Haoxian nodded slightly, shifted his gaze to the lake, and said slowly.
"I'm afraid that the attention of the entire Jiang City is focused on the Ye family now, right?"
Ye Mingchuan nodded and said, "The fight between you and the three elders is too fierce, it can be called shaking the earth, and now the entire Jiangcheng is spreading that the Ye family has been attacked, and all the big and small forces are closing their doors, panicking, for fear that they will also be attacked." ”
Ye Haoxian wanted to laugh a little but couldn't, and asked, "Then how is it now?"
Ye Mingchuan said with a smile: "The news that the three elders were attacked and died, the whole Jiangcheng knows, many forces are so frightened that they have thrown themselves into the big forces, and there are also many forces who have joined the Ye family, after all, the Ye family easily quelled the attack, so that many forces saw the strength of the Ye family, the head of the family had already smiled, and he didn't fall asleep last night." ”
Ye Haoxian thought of the scene of the head of the Ye family who had been sleepless all night, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Ye Mingchuan seemed to remember something and spoke.
"That's right, because you have a stop with the three elders, now all the big and small forces in Jiangcheng are advancing the big competition, and in three days it will be the Ye family's big competition, and then in three days it will be the auction of Wanbao Pavilion, and in ten days I will be the big competition in Jiangcheng. ”
Ye Haoxian shook his head slightly, "The Ye family's big competition, Jiangcheng big competition, it's boring, it's better to sleep at home." ”
However, when it comes to sleeping, it seems that the Tongtian Ancient Tree Divine Consciousness has fallen silent recently, and since his cultivation broke through to the middle of the Xuan Realm, it has never appeared again, if it weren't for the Tongtian Ancient Tree Divine Consciousness in the battle with the Three Elders a few days ago, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Ye Haoxian's heart sank into the dantian, looking at the seedling in the dantian, the seedling in the dantian was really just a seedling, only the small poor sprouts poked out of the seed coat, there were not even buds and leaves on the sprouts, they were bare, only a thousand thin and thin trunks.
Although the young shoots are small, they have a vast world-like atmosphere, like the abyss and the sea!
"Haoxian?!"
Ye Mingchuan saw Ye Haoxian stunned and opened his mouth curiously.
Ye Haoxian hurriedly retracted his mind and said, "What's wrong with Mingbo?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Ye Mingchuan's face, staring at Ye Haoxian tightly, and Ye Haoxian's heart tightened, and he felt a little bad.
Ye Mingchuan rubbed his hands and said, "That fourth child has something to ask you, his granddaughter is not young, and she is just fifteen years old this year, and she is close to your age, so I asked you if you would like to make a marriage contract with his granddaughter?"
Ye Haoxian showed a stunned expression, he was only fifteen years old, he was not yet old enough to marry a wife and have children, and he didn't like the granddaughter of the fourth elder.
"Mingbo, I'm only fifteen years old, not old enough to marry a wife, and I don't like the granddaughter of the fourth elder. ”
Ye Haoxian told the truth, Ye Ziqi's figure appeared in his mind, he really didn't like Ye Ziqi, he didn't have the slightest affection for Ye Ziqi, just like two strange passers-by.
Ye Mingchuan seemed to have guessed something, and hurriedly spoke, "Ziqi, this girl has a good talent, her posture is also good, and her cultivation is even more Wendao Gongfa, which is very compatible with you." ”
Ye Haoxian rolled his eyes and felt a little speechless.
Ye Mingchuan continued: "The man of Chu State married a wife and had children at the age of sixteen, you are already fifteen years old, and you are sixteen years old, the age is completely consistent, as for the feelings, you can cultivate them slowly." ”
Ye Haoxian suddenly became serious, and said seriously: "Uncle Ming, how much money did you charge the fourth elder?"
When Ye Mingchuan heard this, he hummed a little song and looked up at the sky, as if he didn't hear what Ye Haoxian was saying just now.
"How much did you receive?" Ye Haoxian asked again.
Ye Mingchuan's old face turned red, and he slowly spoke, "Not much, just tens of thousands of golden tickets." ”
Ye Haoxian felt a little big, tens of thousands of golden tickets were not a small amount, he only had hundreds of thousands of golden tickets now, this was still after robbing an elixir shop and adding the money from the golden tickets that the four elders gave him to atone for.
The four elders were also reluctant, not only gave him the golden ticket, but even his granddaughter wanted to give it to her, which made Ye Haoxian a little crying and laughing, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
"Go back. ”
Ye Haoxian's tone was very resolute, which made Ye Mingchuan scratch his head in embarrassment.
"You've eaten them all," Ye Mingchuan said, pointing at him.
"I ...... I ate it, how is that possible?"
Ye Haoxian was quite surprised, a little incredulous, how could he have eaten tens of thousands of golden tickets? He was not a gold swallowing beast.
Ye Mingchuan couldn't stop nodding, "Have you forgotten the medicinal food you have eaten in the past few days?"
Ye Haoxian felt a little colic in his heart, the kind that hurts, tens of thousands of golden tickets! It's gone, but the medicinal food is really delicious, and it's hugely fragrant.
"Forget it, hey, there are still tens of thousands of golden tickets, Mingbo, you can take them and return them to the four elders." ”
Ye Haoxian had to pay out of his own pocket and hand Ye Mingchuan the stack of golden tickets that the four elders gave him before.
"It's not enough, there are still 20,000 golden tickets left," Ye Mingchuan said.
This made Ye Haoxian feel a little congested for a while, and felt deep malice, he not only spit out the tens of thousands of golden tickets that the four elders apologized for, but also had to post 20,000 golden tickets upside down, what is going on?
"Mingbo, can we not pay it back?"
Ye Mingchuan's eyes were full of smiles, the corners of his mouth rose, and he said, "Then can you make a marriage contract with someone's granddaughter?"
Ye Haoxian hurriedly spoke, "Uncle Ming, I don't have the slightest affection for Ye Ziqi, it's too hasty to sign a marriage contract, right?"
Ye Mingchuan got up from his chair and said as he walked towards the room.
"Anyway, you Mingbo also brought it, whether you promise or not depends on yourself, by the way, if you don't agree, don't forget to give me another 20,000 golden tickets, I'll go to sleep first, remember to tell me if you think about it." ”
Ye Haoxian scratched his ears and gills in the pavilion, extremely troubled.
In the hall of the Ye family, the head of the Ye family was listening intently to the report of a servant of the Ye family.
"Report to the head of the family, Jiangcheng has been in turmoil recently, the Wang family and the Yun family have begun to encroach on my Ye family's shop, my Ye family has lost a shop on East Street, two shops in Fang City, and also injured a master in the late stage of the Yellow Realm, which can be said to be a heavy loss. ”
The head of the Ye family had a gloomy face, and he didn't speak for a long time, and time passed minute by minute, and finally, the head of the Ye family slowly spoke.
"You go down first, the head of the family wants to be quiet. ”
"Yes", the Ye family servant nodded and hurriedly exited the hall.
"Hey, it's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave!"
The head of the Ye family sighed and slowly walked out of the Ye family hall.
Night was falling, and darkness was covering the sky.
The empty sky was covered with dark clouds, covering the starry sky surrounded by stars, blocking the milky white moonlight, and making Jiang Cheng unable to see his five fingers.
The wind rose, and the wind in the Evil Dragon River roared like a demon, sweeping the inky waves, forming a monstrous wave crashing against the riverbank.
The river breeze was a little wet and salty, mixed with a very faint smell of blood rushing to Jiangcheng, and the night was already deep, and the deathly silence surrounded Jiangcheng.
In the dark, someone was whispering, "The wind is blowing, Jiangcheng is going to be chaotic again!"
