Chapter Twenty-Four: Counting is Counting
"Soul Measuring Root, tell me about it?" Ye Qi asked with a frown.
"That was the first time I went to Wanjiabao from the outer courtyard of Wanjiabao, and I chose several young children at that time, but only I had a spiritual root, and then I was led by Wan Qingsong to the secret room in the depths of Wanjiabao, at that time I only saw a metal token in the secret room, and there was a ghost fire on the token. Both the token and the ghost fire are sealed with a large crystal stone. Wan Liang recalled.
"Although I was only seven or eight years old at that time, I only stayed there for a short time, but the terrifying atmosphere of the secret room is still fresh in my memory. ”
"It is said that the Wan family is collecting the blood of people with spiritual roots everywhere?" Ye Qi asked.
"Yes, but the collected blood was finally given to Wan Yuntian, the ancestor of the Wan family, and I don't know how to use it. ”
"I've seen from some immortal cultivation classics and some ancient notebooks that if spiritual blood is not used to cultivate demonic skills, it is used to break seals and defile magic weapons. Ding Li said with a gloomy face.
"If that ghost fire may be the Ten Thousand Bone Demon Venerable, then it seems that nine times out of ten, this demon must have been sealed, and he can only rely on the Wan Family to act! And in order to prevent the Wan Family from getting out of control, Wan Yuntian's cultivation was controlled at the sixth level of Qi cultivation. Ye Qi analyzed carefully with the thinking of a programmer.
At this moment, the sound transmission jade on Wan Liang's body glowed with white light, which seemed to be the message of Dingzhou Wanjiabao. Ye Qi and the others were also nervous.
"Don't worry, I won't be exposed!" Wan Liang said. Then he took out the jade slip and entered the aura, and Wan Qingsong's voice came from inside.
"Wan Liang, why did Tai'er's soul lamp flicker a few times just now, didn't you protect him well, be careful that I kill you!" Wan Qingsong threatened.
"Wronged, sir, the young master and Princess An Ning have been playing in the dormitory for several days without coming out, and they don't let their subordinates get close, the soul lamp is flickering, it is estimated that it is caused by too much physical loss, please rest assured! I will definitely persuade the young master tomorrow." Wan Liang said, sweat already breaking out on his head.
"Hmph!" Wan Qingsong snorted coldly and never spoke again. Ye Qi's hanging heart was put down. Ye Qi's eyes moved and he said: Although this Wanliang is from a humble background and has been bullied, his mind is extremely delicate, and he has to keep an eye on it.
"This time, Wan Tai came to assassinate the county prince at the behest of Princess An Ning!" Wan Liang said.
"That slut really doesn't stop!" Ye Qi didn't know that this was Emperor Liang Zhou Jian's poisonous plan, and it was estimated that he would incite the Wan family to become enemies with him, so that the Ye family could be used as a gunman, so that the Ye family and the Wan family could fight.
"Although it was not exposed this time, if Wan Tai has been missing for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to hide it no matter what!" Wan Liang said with some concern.
"In that case, I have a plan to use as a delaying tactic. Ye Qi said.
"What kind of strategy?" Ding Li was also curious.
"I will die once!" Ye Qi said as he looked at the stand-in in the dormitory, who had been cut in half.
"Pretending to be dead?" Ding Li suddenly realized.
"Now that I'm in the light, the enemy is in the dark, if I cheat to death, the situation will be reversed, they are in the light, I'm in the dark, this is a good way!" Ye Qi smiled on his face, "And I can also find time to cultivate well!"
"But what about Wantai?" Ding Li asked with some concern. Even if Ye Qi pretends to be dead, he can't hide it for too long, if the Wan family investigates it, I'm afraid he will face Wan Yuntian and even the pursuit of the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Lord.
"What hobbies does Wantai have, and how is his daily behavior?" Ye Qi was very calm, and began to carefully inquire about Wantai's situation, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, Ye Qi also plans to find more information, so that he can do a good job of analysis and planning.
"Wan Tai loves beautiful women the most, and he is extremely lustful...... Wan Liang said in detail, he also hopes that Ye Qi can solve the trouble, otherwise he will definitely die.
Ye Qi listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qi's mouth. As a programmer, Ye Qi is extremely thoughtful and obviously has a lot of confidence.
"I have a plan! As long as you cooperate with me, after six or seven months, I will return the Yuan Shen Jade Jane to you, and you can go away and fly high, forever free from the grinding claws of ten thousand families!" Ye Qi said with a smile.
"Is that true?" Wan Liang was a little unconvinced, he had been longing for freedom for too long.
"I can swear to the demons in my heart, as long as you don't harm me, I will never hurt you!" Ye Qi said with a smile. These words made Wan Liang trust Ye Qi even more. After all, he is now in Ye Qi's hands, and he has no other way but to cooperate.
Then Wan Liang asked, "But what do you do with this Wan Tai?"
"Naturally, I will lock him up in an extremely secret place, even the Danxiang Monk can't find it, let alone the sealed Demon Lord!" Ye Qi was full of confidence.
Of course, Ye Qi's secret place was, of course, the Qingyuan Immortal Mansion disguised as an ordinary Xuantie in his storage bag.
Ye Qi then took out the sound transmission jade slip, discussed it with Du Wuyi of Yuezhou for a while, and then made a plan.
After that, Wan Liang rushed back to the Pingle Hou Mansion directly, saying that Wan Tai had killed Ye Qi, but he also provoked the immortal master of the worship hall, so he planned to avoid trouble, and planned to go to Luanzhou in the north to swim for a few months, and also collected some beauties from Luanzhou by the way.
Wantai Pinri is arrogant and domineering, in order to collect beauties everywhere, such things are not less, so the Hou Mansion is not suspected. Moreover, Wantai controls Wanliang's Yuanshen Yujian, and he will never dare to betray, which has long become the cognition of the Houfu.
Of course, Wan Liang did not forget to go to the palace, deliberately revealed the matter to Princess Anle, and received a lot of rewards from Princess Anle.
The next day, martial law began at the county mansion, saying that the county prince was seriously ill, and at the same time, Li Qian entered the palace with the queen mother's token to report the funeral, but the external secretary did not mourn, but only said that the county prince Ye Qi was seriously ill.
When Emperor Zhou Jian of Liang learned that Ye Qi was assassinated, he was overjoyed, hurriedly recruited the prince, and then went to Cining Palace to find the queen mother, and asked happily: "Great, the queen mother, your strategy of killing people with a knife really worked, and now Ye Changshan is afraid that he will not be able to live in peace, and he will definitely target the ten thousand families!"
The prince was also overjoyed: "On the same day, I asked Liang Xianshi to poison him, and then forced the king of Zhennan to rebel, I didn't expect them to be so patient, I think this time the father and the emperor's grandmother's clever plan will go down, and the king of Zhennan will inevitably enter the urn." ”
"Emperor, the next thing I want you to ask for the worship hall, ask a few immortal masters to come forward, and prove that it was the Wan family who did it, so that the Ye family and the Wan family can never die. The Queen Mother sneered, and the three of them discussed it for a while before giving up.
Subsequently, Emperor Liang directly moved to Fengyi Palace, and scolded Wan Guifei, saying that there had been an immortal master who had investigated, but it was done by the Wan family, and the worship hall had intervened in the matter, and then Emperor Liang left angrily.
Concubine Wan was also confused when she received the news of Ye Qi's death, and it was not so simple for the Offering Hall to intervene, she couldn't help but lose her face, she was also worried that her reasons would hinder the ancestor's plan, so she immediately summoned Princess An Ning to question.
Princess Anding not only did not hide it, but told the truth quite proudly, which made Concubine Wan very big.
Wan Guifei immediately used the sound transmission array to transmit the news back to Wanjia, saying that she had no way to discipline her daughter, so she asked An Ning to instigate Wantai to kill Ye Qi, and she would definitely help Wantai suppress the matter.
Wan Guifei spread the news like this, but it corresponded with the news sent back by Wan Liang, so that Wan Jia didn't care about Wantai's situation, but thought that Wantai was just going to Luanzhou to search for beauties while leaving Beijing to escape the investigation of the worship hall.
Subsequently, the 3,000 Imperial Forest Army began to guard the vicinity of the Imperial Garden, and although the construction of the county palace continued, everyone had a hunch that the situation was extraordinary.
Two days later, Emperor Liang announced that Ye Qi had been killed by cultivators, and announced that the monks of the Worship Hall had been dispatched to find out who had done it, and then rumors spread that it was the Wan family who killed Ye Qi.
As soon as the news came out, tens of thousands of victims who were heavily favored by Ye Qi wept bitterly, but fortunately, Ye Qi had already paid for the project, and the construction of the mansion would not stop, so that these victims would not become hungry again
On the day of Ye Qi's funeral, tens of thousands of victims who repaired the mansion spontaneously prepared some filial piety clothes and followed behind Ye Qi's coffin.
"Ye Jungong is such a good person, how could he die young......"
"Ye Jungong, ......"
"Wow wow...... Helper......"
"Why don't good people pay for their lives...... Woo woo woo ...... "The sound of pain is like a mountain roaring tsunami.
"Only by building a good mansion can it be regarded as a memorial to Ye Jungong!"
"Repair the mansion and commemorate the county duke!"
"Repair the mansion and commemorate the county lord!" the voices of the victims became neat, even replacing the cries. In the crowd, a mother with her two sons knelt and knocked at the end of the funeral.
After that, Emperor Liang also immediately issued an edict to posthumously seal Ye Qi, and promoted his grade from the Duke of Dingzhou County to the Duke of Dingguo, and in the future, the descendants of the Ye family, such as Ye Qing's concubine, can pass on to Ye Qi, so as to inherit this title, the Ye family has two titles, which makes many wealthy families quite envious.
Of course, Emperor Liang did this, and he also did it for Ye Changshan to see, indicating that your son's death is not my problem, and it is also the work of ten thousand families to find enemies.
Emperor Liang thought that he was doing this, thinking that even if Ye Changshan could endure it again, he was afraid that he would break out for his son's death, so as to raise troops to attack Dingzhou Wanjia, and then he could watch from the wall, in order to fight between the two tigers and reap the benefits.
At this time, the court was overcast, and it seemed that they were waiting for the king of Zhennan to raise troops against Wanjia. Wanjia was even more noisy, mobilizing a large army to be stationed near Dingnan Pass, closely monitoring all the actions of the king of Zhennan.
However, Emperor Liang never expected that Ye Changshan, the king of Zhennan, would say that although he was old, in order to show his loyalty, he would be sent to the capital by his eldest son Ye Qing as a hostage after a while, and he would never rebel against the court and never cause chaos for the court......
In this way, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and many people were very grateful to the king of Zhennan for not causing military disasters, and felt that the king of Zhennan was the first loyalty of the ages.
However, Emperor Liang received this table and almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. It's like cutting off one of his hands of King Zhennan, and then King Zhennan not only didn't resist, but also stretched out his other hand and asked him to continue cutting.
King Zhennan did this, not only made Emperor Liang Meng, but even the queen mother, who had dominated the harem for sixty years, was stunned.
As for Wan Jia, he felt that Ye Changshan was just aware of current affairs, thinking that Ye Changshan was afraid of Wan Jia, and his actions became even more arrogant.
However, just when the outside world was turbulent, Ye Qi was in the secret room and personally lit Wantai's storage bag. As for Wan Tai, Ye Qi asked Ding Lao to prepare some secret turtle breath pills on the rivers and lakes for Wan Tai to take, so that he could enter the turtle breath state, Ye Qi sent him true yuan every day, and fed him some water, which could ensure that he would not die in a coma for several months.
When Ye Qi Shennian probed into Wantai's storage bag inlaid with spirit stones, he found that in addition to the damaged green wolf puppet, there were nearly a thousand spirit stones. "It's developed, and there are so many treasures?"
