Chapter 229: Leaving the King's Tomb
The huge turmoil in Baihe City, Ye Yi didn't pay much attention to it, in the past three days, he has accompanied his grandfather to refine the pill, and then took Xiao Xixi out shopping at night. Flash Dance.
Xixi has now advanced to a fourth-order spiritual fire, and can already break away from the flame form and completely transform into a human form, she is an eight or nine-year-old little girl, carved in pink and jade, very cute.
In the evening, Ye Yi took her out, both of them wore masks, and after changing their respective breaths, they played wildly.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Yi went to see Grandpa Gui early in the morning, and once again asked his old man to go back to Yong'an Town for the New Year, and after being refused, Ye Yi could only say goodbye helplessly.
I called a carriage and returned to Yefu Gate in Yong'an Town near noon.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Ye Yi faintly felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a strange heavy atmosphere in the whole mansion, and the old housekeeper in the mansion was sending several middle-aged people who looked like businessmen out of the mansion.
"A few masters, please bear with me, when my lord comes back, I will definitely inform you as soon as possible. The old butler stood at the door of the mansion and said respectfully.
"It's true, it's all the New Year, it's when the New Year's goods market is tight, and Master Ye hasn't seen anyone for several days, which really makes people die. ā
"Isn't it? Now that the price of medicinal materials has risen sharply, your lord has mastered the mountain goods channels of Yong'an Town and twenty or thirty villages in nearby neighboring towns, and it is when it is of great use, but he has disappeared, and the Nantian Goods Company has no leader, missing the opportunity!"
"Well, that's it, I'll have to try my luck in other towns first. ā
The old housekeeper kept laughing: "I'm really sorry, the master happens to be not there, the eldest lady doesn't know much about the transactions of the trading house, and she missed the business of several masters, and she still hopes for Haihan, when the master comes back, he will definitely arrange the affairs of several masters as soon as possible." ā
"A few old men walk slowly!"
Hearing the words of the old housekeeper and those middle-aged people from afar, Ye Yi frowned a little for a while, simply stopped, and when the old housekeeper finished sending him off, he stretched out his hand and called him over, and asked, "Old housekeeper, isn't my father-in-law at home for the New Year?"
When the old housekeeper heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "No, the old man went to Old Lady Zhou's side eight days ago and didn't come back." 35xsā
Ye Yi was about to ask, and footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor behind the front hall, but Ye Mu, who heard the words from the next person, walked out and shouted from afar: "Xiao Yi, are you back?"
Ye Mu's voice was obviously haggard and hoarse, Ye Yi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked over, held her hand, and let her sit down on the chair in the front hall first, and then said with concern: "Stepmother, are you okay? What's wrong at home? I just heard from the housekeeper that my father-in-law went to my grandfather's house and hasn't come back for several days, what's going on?"
Ye Mu's eyes were a little red, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she paused, looked up at the old housekeeper, and the old housekeeper immediately understood what he meant, and gave an order, and quickly withdrew from the front hall with the surrounding maids.
Seeing that everyone had retreated, Ye Mu nodded and said: "In the evening eight days ago, my father suddenly sent someone over, saying that there was an urgent matter to discuss with your father-in-law, and he picked them up that night, and the next day, he only sent someone back to say that your father-in-law would stay in Tianning City for three or four days before coming back, and he didn't explain what was going on at that time." ā
"I didn't pay much attention, but after waiting for four days, I didn't see your stepfather come back, but Xiao Ling came back, waited for another day, and still didn't see your stepfather come back the next day, so she couldn't help but go to your grandfather's house, as a result, the Zhou family was also messed up, your father-in-law, grandfather and two uncles were gone, and only a few clan elders were taking care of the affairs of the clan. ā
"What?"
Ye Yi's face was shocked, and he said in a hurry: "Mother-in-law, if such a big thing happens, I am in the Fengling Pavilion, why don't you send someone to inform the child to come back?"
Ye Mu said with slightly red eyes: "I didn't expect the matter to be so serious, in the past few days, the Zhou family has sent many people out to look for them, but they have not been found." ā
Ye Yi frowned and asked, "Mother-in-law, what about Xiao Ling?" She has been to Zhou's house, did she find any clues?"
Mother Ye shook her head and said: "No, I just said that your grandfather took away a group of elite Xuan Xiu in the family and secretly took them away, and no one knows where they went! Your father left suddenly, and it has been a few days, and there is chaos in the goods store. Flash."
After waiting for a long time, Ye Xiaoling really came back in a hurry, his face was not very good-looking, with a little haggard, and when he saw Ye Yi, his eyes lit up, and his panicked and impatient expression faded slightly.
Ye Yi asked again, but he didn't get anything useful from Xiao Ling's mouth, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.
This thing is very strange, since the old lady of the Zhou family was able to hide from all the people of the Zhou family, and transferred away the elite Xuan Xiu of the family, it shows that this matter must be premeditated, as if he was planning something, and the father-in-law was temporarily called away without any explanation, obviously unaware of it in advance.
Thinking about it, Ye Yi suddenly remembered that when he went to the Zhou family to celebrate his birthday more than a year ago, he vaguely overheard the strange dispute between his father-in-law and several members of the Zhou family that night.
The more he thought about it for a while, the more he felt that it was possible, and he couldn't help but ask softly: "Mother-in-law, Xiao Ling, have you ever heard your father-in-law mention any tombs, and what other keys do you have?"
"Tomb, key, no, why do you ask?" Ye Xiao Lingshen was confused, obviously unaware.
Ye Mu's face changed in an instant, and she said in horror: "Xiao Yi, you ...... How did you know about leaving the king's tomb?"
Ye Yi vaguely remembered that when the Zhou family was discussing this tomb, there seemed to be a word "leave" in front of it, most of which was the tomb of the king in the mouth of the stepmother, but why was the stepmother's expression so frightened?
Although it was very rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, but at this time, he couldn't take too much care of it, Ye Yi organized the language, and told the original story of the conversation and dispute between his father-in-law and Mrs. Zhou that he overheard more than a year ago.
After hearing this, Ye Mu's face turned pale, and Ye Yi asked what was going on with the king's tomb? She was stunned, and refused to say a word, but her eyes were red, and tears were falling down, so Ye Yi was not anxious.
"Mother, what the hell is going on? Is the disappearance of Dad and Grandpa related to the tomb of the king? Is it that Grandpa and Grandpa forcibly took Dad away for the so-called key?"
"Mother, when has this been? What are you worried about? What do you know? Tell me quickly!"
Ye Xiaoling, who has always had a good temper, was so anxious that she got angry, and asked her mother loudly, Ye Yi saw that she was not in the right mood, and hurriedly went over to comfort her.
Mother Ye wiped a handful of tears, first glanced at her anxious and excited daughter, and then looked deeply at Ye Yi, who looked heavy, hesitated again and again, and finally bowed her head and said: "Mother doesn't know much about this matter, only know that Nantian, father, eldest brother and several of them have been fighting the idea of a big tomb called "Liwang Tomb", and want to enter the tomb and take out the burial treasures in it. ā
"The tomb of the king, as the name suggests, should be the tomb of the king, but who is the king? is it the title of the people in the royal family? or the title of the master of Xuanxiu? and where is this tomb?" Ye Yi asked.
Ye Mu shed tears, shook her head and said: "The tomb of the king in their mouth in Nantian is the royal tomb of a royal county king more than a thousand years ago, back then, his fief was in the area of Ziyang Mansion, and he was buried in the fief after his death, as for the specific location of the mausoleum? ā
"These things are all things that I have vaguely known for so many years and secretly found out, Nantian has always refused to tell me, and I didn't ask too much, only knowing that he did have a key in his hand. ā
"The royal family's royal tombs, secretly digging up the royal tombs is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans!"
Ye Yi and Ye Xiaoling looked at each other, shocked in their hearts, they never imagined that a kind and kind father Ye would be so bold, no wonder they have been kept in the dark for so many years, this matter really can't be spread out randomly, and it will be exterminated by the Nine Clans.
"Wealth is moving, but what kind of place is the royal tomb? It must be forbidden everywhere, every step of the way, dangerous and abnormal, why can't they let it go? After so many years, they still still don't give up. ā
Ye Mu sighed in mourning, suddenly raised her head, glanced at Ye Yi and the others, and said urgently: "Listen to my mother's advice, it is extremely dangerous to leave the king's tomb, it is said that hundreds of thousands of craftsmen died when it was built, even if you two find out something, you must not take risks!"
In front of the anxious Ye Mu, Ye Yi and Ye Xiaoling could only nod in agreement, but after thinking about it carefully, Ye Yi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After discussing for a while, Ye Yi and Ye Xiaoling decided to go to Zhou's house again, after all, they knew too little about the so-called "Leaving the King's Tomb", and now that the time was urgent, they couldn't find out step by step.
They have few Ye families, and it is not difficult for Ye's father to live in the tomb of the king, but the Zhou family disappeared so many important people at once, and they can always find some clues by following the clue of the tomb of the king.
It can be seen that Mother Ye is not at ease with the two of them tracking down the tomb of the king, and she wants to stop it several times, but she is really worried about the safety of Father Ye, so she can only suppress the idea of stopping it in the end, and repeatedly tell the two to pay attention to safety.
The Zhou family is a little far away from Yong'an Town, Ye Yi and Ye Xiaoling quickly whipped up, and it took more than an hour to come to the Zhou family, and they were greeted by the two cousins of the Zhou family: Zhou Fenghu and Zhou Yunlong.
Zhou Fenghu is the son of the uncle of the Zhou family, and he has been admitted to Qingluo Academy for several years, and now he is a disciple of the inner courtyard, and his cultivation in the later stage of the Gathering Soul Realm has always been known as the proud son of the Zhou family.
Although he and Ye Yi hadn't seen each other a few times because of the age gap, when he was in Qingluo Academy, he had heard of Ye Yi in the freshman area and the reputation of this cousin who was not related by blood, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and directly welcomed the two in.
Ye Yi didn't talk much nonsense, and after letting Zhou Fenghu and Zhou Yunlong retreat, they directly told the matter of "leaving the king's tomb".
