Chapter 15 Jade Box When it comes to Ye Kong, the eighth young master, the servants and maids are not afraid of him, but the soldiers who rotate regularly outside are not familiar with the situation and take him seriously.
When he speaks, everyone is silent.
"Come and have a drink."
Ye Kong and Liu Changqing sat at the same table.
Liu Changqing saw the eighth young master pouring wine for him, and said he didn't dare, so he quickly took it and filled it up for Ye Kong.
Ye Kong smiled and said, "I'm here to reflect on my ancestors, how can I drink."
"Drink less.
In fact, I shouldn't drink either."
Liu Changqing raised the small tile bowl, reluctant to drink it all, and took a big sip.
"Then I'll drink a bowl with General Liu."
Ye Kong also took a sip.
It was the first time he drank wine from Cangnan Continent.
The alcohol content was not too high, nor too low.
It tasted pretty good, with the aroma of green grass. .
"Good wine."
Ye Kong put down the wine bowl and asked again, "Why is this iron-skinned bull so powerful?
He was seriously injured and several brothers were injured before he was caught."
"Of course it's powerful," Liu Changqing said, "This iron-skinned bull is as big as three or four ordinary cows, and its skin can't be pierced by a steel gun.
It's amazing."
After Liu Changqing finished speaking, he sighed, "But the skin...
Bones and horns 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.
Otherwise, it is a middle-grade spiritual beast. " "The unranked middle-grade ones are so powerful."
Ye Kong grinned and asked, "Then why doesn't the country kill more iron-skinned bulls, so that the brothers' armors become lighter and stronger?"
Liu Changqing smiled and said, "You are just talking in layman's terms.
These iron-clad bulls form a group as soon as they appear.
There are thousands of them.
Don't look at it.
It is just a middle-grade spiritual beast.
When the number is large, it is terrifying.
Even an immortal would not dare to It's hard to carry it.
It's coming down like a tide.
It's useless even if you have hundreds of thousands of troops.
They'll all die after being charged back and forth.
It's a good deal for their skin."
"So that's it."
Ye Kong suddenly realized, and then he asked rashly, as if he suddenly remembered: "Oh, why is my dad here this afternoon?"
Liu Changqing, who was talking happily, said without thinking, "It seems to be something."
Liu Changqing is also a smart person.
As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly said to Ye Kong, "Eighth Young Master, please don't hurt me.
What do you want to ask?
Ask the general yourself.
To be honest, I don't know what the general is doing when he enters the house.
"What?
Just pretend you didn't hear what I said just now.

If you did, don't say it was a villain."
"Haha, seeing how nervous you are, I just casually asked, will I be able to harm my father or be a foreign spy?"
Ye Kong said carelessly.
Then Liu Changqing looked at Ye Kong and felt that it was right.
Was he too vigilant?
Although the eighth young master was punished by the general today, he was a father and son after all.
What's more, General Ye's was not a military secret.
It was just a matter of words.
Said.
In fact, the guards were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall if they had nothing to do.
Liu Changqing happened to pass by the door today and saw Ye Haoran's back.
He offered incense and then touched the jade box on the altar in the middle, and finally walked out shaking the key. , Liu Changqing easily guessed that Ye Haoran put something in the box.
"Come on, come on, drink."
"drink."
The two of them drank a little wine, but each had their own plans in mind.
Ye Kong was shocked when he heard Liu Changqing's words.
He originally guessed that his father came to the ancestral hall for a reason.
Otherwise, Ye Haoran was so angry at that time, why would he come to burn incense to calm down?
Hearing Liu Changqing's words again, there seemed to be a flash of thunder and lightning in his brain, and a book as white as jade appeared.
Yes, it's possible, it's very possible.
This book is an heirloom of the Ye family.
Ye Haoran most likely placed it in the ancestral hall.
If that's true, it's really fate.
He just happened to be introspecting and cultivating immortality at the same time.
Ye Kong was overjoyed and lost interest in eating and drinking once he had his thoughts in mind.
After chatting with Liu Changqing for a while, he hurried back to the ancestral hall to find where Ye Haoran had hidden his belongings.
However, he is also a thoughtful person.
As soon as he entered the door, he thought, will Liu Changqing report this matter to Ye Haoran?
If this guy comes to guard the gate of Ye Family Ancestral Hall, he must be a confidant of Ye Haoran.
It is normal for him to report the situation.
So Ye Kong walked into the ancestral hall and did not rush to look for it.
Instead, he lowered his head and sat directly on the futon, reading by candlelight, but his eyes were staring at the door of the ancestral hall.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw a dark shadow passing by the door of the ancestral hall.
It was centurion Liu Changqing who came here.
He sat there after dinner, and the more he thought about it, the more he became afraid.
If the Eighth Young Master really stole the general's treasure, then he would be guilty of a big crime.
So he sneaked to the door and observed the situation inside.
Fortunately, the eighth young master was reading there.
It seemed that he was too worried.
Ye Kong pretended to read a book, but he was also frightened in his heart.
It seemed that there was no harm in being careful, and he almost got caught.
After waiting for a while, he guessed that Liu Changqing had left.
He pretended to be sleepy and walked around again, still not daring to move boldly.
Finally, he turned back, put on his coat and lay down to sleep.
Self-examination in the ancestral hall is the heaviest punishment for the Ye family.

There is no food, no place to sleep, and no freedom.
Oh, and there is fear.
If it were any other young master, he would not be able to bear it, but Ye Kong thought about that book According to the scriptures, no matter how severe the torture, you are not afraid, let alone such a small crime.
Late at night, many of the candles in the ancestral hall had been extinguished, and the wind that came from nowhere was exceptionally cold.
Ye Kong felt that he still had too few clothes.
He wished he had brought a quilt.
His body was a little cold, but his heart was warm.
Almost there, look for it The jade box is not difficult to find.
It is just under the central altar, but it is locked and cannot be opened.
Moreover, the box and the base are connected by a single piece of jade, so it cannot be opened without opening the lock.
Smashing the jade box would not cause Ye Kong to fall out with Ye Haoran.
Since the only way to open the lock is to use the key, Ye Haoran will not take the initiative to give him the key, but this cannot be difficult for Ye Kong.
Although he is not a thief, as the leader of the gangsters on the street, he often fights with thieves.
Those who deal with it also know a little bit about twist door lock picking.
Although this is not my brother's strong point, this ancient lock is easy to open.
Ye Kong studied it all night and felt that he was still sure.
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 bit inconvenient to go out.
When he wanted to leave the next day, he learned that the soldiers also had the role of guarding him and prohibited him from leaving the courtyard.
Ye Kong had no choice but to sit in the ancestral hall and stare at the spiritual tablets in a daze.
It seemed that he could only wait for his return home once every five days.
But who knew that the opportunity would come at noon.
Ye Wei came to see him with a quilt and said that Chen Jiuniang asked him to bring it.
The two brothers started chatting, and when they came to Zhang Wude, Ye Kong asked if there was any story about this Wude.
Ye Wei laughed, took out an ear pick, and while picking his ears, he said, "This Five Virtues is from the neighboring country of Wu.
It is very famous in the country of Wu.
He entered the court of the country of Wu at a young age.
It is very impressive."
The emperor appreciated that the Zhang family was also a big family with a prosperous population.
But who knew who his family had offended and that the whole family was wiped out overnight.
Zhang Wude's wife and daughter were also killed that time. ” "Ah, that's it."
Ye Kong said in his heart.
No wonder the old man had a straight face all day long and had such a sad past.
"Yes, the entire Zhang family was killed, and only Zhang Wude escaped with his life.
How miserable."
Ye Wei also sighed.
"Then the emperor appreciates him very much.
Why doesn't he want the emperor to help him take revenge?"
Ye Kong asked again.
Ye Wei shook his head, "I don't know.
I guess the emperor can't afford to offend the perpetrator."
Ye Kong thought for a moment and then guessed, "The emperor must be a cultivator if he can't offend him.
No wonder he speaks in that tone."
"Eighth brother is indeed smart."
Ye Wei nodded in approval, "However, we are just guessing.

If Mr.
Zhang doesn't say it himself, who knows what's going on."
"Sir must have come to our Anguo to avoid being hunted down, and was taken in by his father, and then lived an anonymous life, right?"
Ye Kong continued to guess.
This time he guessed wrong.
Ye Wei shook his head and said with a smile, "Eighth brother, you didn't guess right this time, but maybe most people guess like this, but you have forgotten that people like Mr.
Zhang Wude, if he is really chased by an immortal, If you kill, how can you come to other people's houses 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 immortal family who killed people just wanted to vent their anger and just killed the whole family.
Zhang Wude had a good reputation among the people, and the immortals didn't complain and made everyone angry, so they let him go.
But because he was The emperor didn't want to avenge him, so he came to our Anguo and happened to meet my father, so he stayed in our house. " Ye Kong couldn't help but nodded and said, "Brother's reasoning ability is much better than mine."
Ye Wei smiled and said, "No, I'm actually the stupidest."
Then he shook his head and sighed, "Actually, Mr.
Zhang is also very miserable."
Ye Kong also pursed his lips, nodded and said, "If there is a chance, I must help Mr. revenge."
Ye Wei was so frightened by him that he almost poked his ear with his ear.
He hurriedly said, "Eighth brother, please don't mess around.
Immortals are not something we can afford to offend.
Don't look at the Ye family commanding thousands of troops. , but it’s still not enough to see the immortal.”
Ye Kong smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm not stupid.
On the contrary, I'm very tactful.
I know exactly what to say to whom."
Ye Wei thought to himself, I'm afraid you won't be like this when you get excited.
After chatting for a while, Ye Wei was about to leave and said, "I'm going back to the military camp.
I can't leave there for too long.
Take good care of yourself."
He patted Ye Kong on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving."
This big brother really felt like a brother to Ye Kong.
Ye Kong smiled and nodded, watching Ye Wei leave and seeing him walking far away, and then suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, brother, wait a minute, my ears are itchy too
