chapter 15 jade box

When it comes to Adonis Kelly, the childe Adonis, 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."Adonis Kelly and Cassius Angus sat at the same table.

Cassius Angus saw the childe Adonis pouring wine for him, and said he didn't dare, so he quickly took it and filled it up for Adonis Kelly.

Adonis Kelly smiled and said, "I'm here to reflect on my ancestors, how can I drink."

"Drink less. In fact, I shouldn't drink either."Cassius Angus raised the small tile bowl, reluctant to drink it all, and took a big sip.

"Then I'll drink a bowl with General Liu."Adonis Kelly also took a sip. It was the first time he drank wine from Cangnan mainland. The alcohol content was not too high, nor too low. It tasted pretty good, with the aroma of green grass. .

"Good wine."Adonis Kelly 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,"Cassius Angus 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 so powerful." After Cassius Angus 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."Adonis Kelly grinned and asked, "Then why doesn't the country kill more iron-skinned bulls, so that the brothers' armors become lighter and stronger?"

Cassius Angus smiled and said, "You are just talking in layman's terms. This iron-skinned bull appears in a group, thousands of them. Even though it is only a middle-grade spiritual beast, it is terrifying when the number is large. 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 be dead after being charged back and forth. It's a good deal for their skin."

"So that's it."Adonis Kelly suddenly realized, and then he asked rashly, as if he suddenly remembered: "Oh, why is my dad here this afternoon?"

Cassius Angus, who was talking happily, said without thinking, "It seems to be something."

Cassius Angus is also a smart person. As soon as the words came out, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly said to Adonis Kelly, "childe Adonis, 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 in the house. What, just pretend you didn’t hear what I said just now, and if you did, don’t say it was said by 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?"Adonis Kelly said carelessly.

Then Cassius Angus looked at Adonis Kelly and felt that it was right. Was he too vigilant? Although the childe Adonis 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. Cassius Angus happened to pass by the door today and saw Rafa Kelly's back. He offered incense and then touched the jade box on the altar in the middle, and finally walked out shaking the key. , Cassius Angus easily guessed that Rafa Kelly 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.

Adonis Kelly was shocked when he heard Cassius Angus words. He originally guessed that his father came to the ancestral hall for a reason. Otherwise, Rafa Kelly was so angry at that time, why would he come to burn incense to calm down?

Hearing Cassius Angus's words again, there seemed to be a flash of thunder and lightning in his mind, 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. Rafa Kelly most likely placed it in the ancestral hall. If that's true, it's really fate. He happened to be practicing self-reflection while cultivating immortality.

Adonis Kelly was overjoyed and lost interest in eating and drinking once he had his thoughts in mind. After chatting with Cassius Angus for a while, he hurried back to the ancestral hall to find where Rafa Kelly had hidden his belongings.

However, he is also a thoughtful person. As soon as he entered the door, he thought, will Cassius Angus report this matter to Rafa Kelly? If this guy came to guard the gate of Ye Family Ancestral Hall, he must be a confidant of Rafa Kelly. It is normal for him to report the situation.

So Adonis Kelly 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 Cassius Angus who came here. He sat there after dinner, and the more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. If the childe Adonis 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 childe Adonis was reading there. It seemed that he was too worried.

Adonis Kelly 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 Cassius Angus 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. Adonis Kelly 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 Adonis Kelly to fall out with Rafa Kelly.

Since the only way to open the lock is to use the key, Rafa Kelly will not take the initiative to give him the key, but this can't help Adonis Kelly. 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. Adonis Kelly 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.

Adonis Kelly 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. Lander Kelly came to see him with a quilt and said that Shoshana Walsh asked him to bring it.

The two brothers started chatting, and when they came to Levon Garcia, Adonis Kelly asked if there was any story about this Levon Garcia.

Lander Kelly laughed, took out an ear pick, and while picking his ears, he said, "This Levon Garcia 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. Levon Garcia'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 Levon Garcia escaped with his life. How miserable."Lander Kelly also sighed.

"Then the emperor appreciates him very much. Why doesn't he want the emperor to help him take revenge?"Adonis Kelly asked again.

Lander Kelly shook his head, "I don't know, I guess the emperor can't afford to offend the perpetrator."

Adonis Kelly thought for a moment and then guessed, "The emperor must be a cultivator if he can't offend him. No wonder he talks like that."

"Eighth brother is indeed smart."Lander Kelly 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 An country to avoid being hunted down, and was taken in by his father, and then lived an anonymous life, right?"Adonis Kelly continued to guess.

This time he guessed wrong. Lander Kelly 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. Levon Garcia, if he is really chased by an immortal, How could he come to someone else's house and bring disaster to others?"

"Yes, that's right."Adonis Kelly nodded. After a short time together, he still admired Levon Garcia'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. Levon Garcia had a good reputation among the people, and the immortals didn't complain and made people angry, so they let him go. But because he was The emperor didn't avenge him, so he simply came to our An country, and happened to meet my father, so he stayed at our house."

Adonis Kelly couldn't help but nodded and said, "Brother's reasoning ability is much better than mine."

Lander Kelly smiled and said, "No, I'm actually the stupidest." Then he shook his head and sighed, "Actually, Mr. Zhang is also very miserable."

Adonis Kelly also pursed his lips, nodded and said, "If there is a chance, I must help Mr. revenge."

Lander Kelly 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 face an immortal.”

Adonis Kelly 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."

Lander Kelly thought to himself, I'm afraid you won't be like this when you get excited.

After chatting for a while, Lander Kelly 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 Adonis Kelly on the shoulder and said, "I'm leaving."

This big brother really felt like a brother to Adonis Kelly. Adonis Kelly smiled and nodded, watching Lander Kelly leave and seeing him walking far away, and then suddenly remembered something.

"Hey, brother, wait a minute, my ears are itchy too.":
