Chapter 33

"Good wine." Ye Kong put down the wine bowl and asked, "this tin bull is so powerful that it was seriously injured and several brothers were injured before catching it?"

"Of course!" Liu Changqing said, "this tin bull is as big as threeorfour ordinary cows, and that leather can't be pierced with a steel gun. It's terrible." Liu Changqing said and 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, how can they be middle-grade spirit beasts?"

"No rank middle-class is so powerful." Ye Kong grinned and asked, "then why doesn't the country kill more iron cattle, so that the brothers' armor is not light and stronger?"

Liu Changqing said with a smile, "that's what you're talking about. As soon as this tin bull appears, it's a group of thousands. Although it's only a medium-grade spirit beast, a large number is terrifying. Even immortals don't dare to carry it hard. The tide surges down, and it's useless for you to come to hundreds of thousands of troops. It's useless to be rushed back and forth by it and dies. Is it cost-effective for their skin?"

"So it is." Ye Kong suddenly realized, and then bravely asked, "Oh, what's the matter with my father this afternoon?"

Liu Changqing said happily without thinking, saying, "it seems to put something."

Liu Changqing is also a smart man. As soon as he said something, he immediately felt something wrong and hurriedly said to Ye Kong, "don't hurt me, eighth young master. Ask the general yourself what you want to ask. To be honest, I don't know what the general did in the house. Just now, you don't hear that sentence, and don't say it was said by a villain if you hear it."

"Hehe, seeing that you are nervous, I'll ask casually. Will I harm my father or foreign spies?" Ye Kong said carelessly.

Liu Changqing looked at Ye Kong and felt that he was right. Was he overly vigilant? Although the eight young masters were punished by the general today, they were father and son after all, not to mention general ye, it was not a military secret, so he said it.

In fact, the guard soldiers are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall if they are OK. Today, Liu Changqing happened to pass by the door and happened to see ye Haoran's back. Seeing him worship incense, he touched the jade box in the middle altar, and finally shook the key and walked out. Liu Changqing easily guessed that ye Haoran had put something in the box.

"Come on, drink."

"Drink."

They drank a little wine, but their hearts had their own calculations.

Hearing Liu Changqing's words, ye Kong was shocked. He had guessed that there was a reason why his father came to the ancestral temple. Otherwise, ye Haoran was so angry at that time. Did he come to burn incense to calm down?

Hearing Liu Changqing's words again, he seemed to have a lightning flash in his brain, "pa!" A book as white as jade appeared.

Yes, it's possible, it's very possible, this book is the treasure of Ye family, and ye Haoran is likely to put it in the ancestral temple. If that's true, it's really predestined. It happens to be self-examination while cultivating immortals.

Ye Kong was very happy in his heart. When he had the idea, he was not interested in eating and drinking. After chatting with Liu Changqing for a while, he hurried back to the ancestral temple to find the place where ye Haoran hid his things.

However, he was also a person with a close mind. As soon as he entered the door, he thought, will Liu Changqing report this matter to Ye Haoran? This guy must be ye Haoran's confidant if he can come to guard the door of Ye family ancestral temple. It's normal to report the situation.

So ye Kong walked into the ancestral temple and didn't hurry to find it. Instead, he bowed his head and directly sat on the futon, reading by candlelight, but his eyes glanced at the entrance of the ancestral temple.

Sure enough, before long, I saw a dark shadow passing by the gate of the ancestral temple. It was Liu Changqing, the centurion, who sat there after dinner. The more he thought, the more afraid he was. If the eighth young master really stole the general's baby, he would be guilty.

So he sneaked to the door and observed the situation inside. Fortunately, the eighth young master was reading there. It seemed that he was distracted.

Ye Kong pretended to read a book, and his heart was also cold. It seemed that being careful would do no harm. He was almost caught.

After waiting for a while, he estimated that Liu Changqing had left, pretended to be sleepy, turned around again, but he still didn't dare to act maoran, and finally turned back, put on his coat and lay askew to sleep.

Introspection in the ancestral hall is the heaviest punishment of the Ye family. They can't eat well, have no place to sleep, and haven't been free. Oh, there's also fear. If other young masters can't stand it, but ye is dreaming about that Scripture, and he's not afraid of any great torture, not to mention this crime.

Late at night, many candles in the ancestral hall have been extinguished, and I don't know where the Yin wind is getting colder. Ye Kong feels that he still has less clothes, and it would be better if he had known to bring a bed and quilt.

His body is a little cold, but his heart is warm.

Almost, look!

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

Smash the jade box? Ye Kong won't turn against Ye Haoran for this.

Since only the lock can be opened, it's only with the key. Ye Haoran won't take the initiative to give him the key, but it's difficult for ye Kong. Although he is not a thief, as a street gangster leader, he often deals with thieves, and he knows a little about turning the door and prying the lock.

Although this is not my buddy's strong point, this ancient lock is easy to open. After studying it all night, ye Kong felt sure of it. He decided to find an opportunity to go out and do something like a small iron drill to unlock it.

However, it was a little inconvenient to go out. When he wanted to leave the next day, he learned that the soldiers still had the role of guarding him and forbidding him to leave the courtyard.

Ye Kong had no choice but to sit in the ancestral hall in a daze at those spirit tablets. It seemed that he had to wait for five days to go home.

But the opportunity came at noon. Ye Wei came to see him with a quilt and said that Chen Jiuniang had asked him to bring it.

The two brothers started chatting, chatting about Zhang Wude, and ye Kong asked if Zhang Wude had any story.

Ye Wei laughed, took out an ear pick, pulled out his ear, and said, "this Zhang Wude is from the neighboring Wu state, which is very famous in Wu state. He joined the court of Wu state at a young age, and was highly appreciated by the emperor. Their Zhang family is also a big family, with a prosperous population, but who knows, I don't know who his family offended, and was destroyed overnight. Zhang Wude's wife and daughter were also killed that time."

"Ah, yes." Ye Kong said heartily that no wonder the old man kept a straight face all day. He dared to love and had this sad past.

"Yes, Zhangjia was killed, and only Zhang Wude escaped one life. It's tragic." Ye Wei also sighed.

"Isn't the emperor very appreciative of him? Why don't the Emperor help him revenge?" Ye Kong asked again.

Ye Wei shook his head. "I don't know. I guess the murderer, the emperor, can't afford it."

Ye Kong thought a little and guessed, "the emperor can't provoke? It must be an immortal. No wonder he spoke in that tone."

"The eighth brother is really smart." Ye Wei nodded approvingly, "however, we just guessed that if Mr. Zhang didn't say it himself, who knows what happened."

"Sir, it must be that he came to Anguo to avoid being chased and killed, was taken in by his father, and then lived a life of anonymity, 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 ordinary people want to guess like this, but you forget, if a person like Mr. Zhang Wude is really chased by immortals, how can he come to others' houses and bring disasters to others?"

"Yes, that's right." Ye Kong nodded. After a short time together, he still admired Zhang Wude's morality.

"In fact, it's true. I guess the murderer's immortal family is just to vent his anger, and it's OK to kill another family. Zhang Wude is famous among the people, and the immortal doesn't complain. He let go of him, but because the Emperor didn't revenge him, he simply came to our country and just met his father, so he lived in our family."

Ye Kong couldn't stop nodding. "Brother's reasoning ability is much stronger than me."
