Ye Xunhuan captured the subtle change on Xiahao Yunting's face completely, and in his heart, he beca even more certain that the sheepskin scroll was no ordinary thing.
Xiahao Yunting slowly exhaled a breath and said, "Why did you suddenly ask about the sheepskin scroll?"
"Just curious!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Moreover, I heard from Ruoxi that after the sheepskin scroll was stolen, you were so furious you fell ill, so it must be very important!"
"But how could such an important thing be stolen by Xiahou Yuzhu? Logically, you should have hidden it well, so how could she have had the opportunity!"
Xiahao Yunting sighed slightly and slowly said, "You're right, the sheepskin scroll is indeed important and carries extraordinary significance!"
"Grandfather, what exactly is this sheepskin scroll?"
"Sothing ominous!" Xiahao Yunting said heavily, "It's sothing countless people dream of, sothing even the protector of the nation wants to obtain!"
Hearing this, Ye Xunhuan beca even more curious.
Could it be that this thing is more powerful than the Taiji Seal in my hand?
Otherwise, why would even the protector of the nation want it?
"So, what exactly is the sheepskin scroll?"
"This story starts when we took in Xiahou Yuzhu!" Xiahao Yunting's face slowly revealed a contemplative look, and the gaze in his eyes beca deep at this mont, as if he had fallen into so distant mory!
With Xiahao Yunting's words, Ye Xunhuan's previous conjectures were completely confird!
Such an important thing like the sheepskin scroll, even if Xiahao Yunting told others, he shouldn't have told Xiahou Yuzhu.
After all, people have selfish thoughts, and Xiahou Yuzhu is ultimately just an adopted daughter. If the sheepskin scroll is very important, the first person Xiahao Yunting should tell would be Xiahou Yutong!
At the sa ti, Xiahao Yunting should have hidden the sheepskin scroll well, not letting anyone know its hiding place, yet it was stolen by Xiahou Yuzhu, which is a big issue.
Xiahao Yunting took a deep breath and slowly said, "Do you know the origin of Yuzhu?"
"What origin?"
"This sheepskin scroll is her identity proof!" Xiahao Yunting said heavily, "It is also a treasure map!"
"A treasure map?" Ye Xunhuan was stunned!
"Yes, a treasure map, one that can make a person incredibly wealthy overnight, enough for one to rival a nation!" Xiahao Yunting said earnestly and seriously, "Do you think the protector of the nation wouldn't want it?"
"In this world, although money is the root of all evil, it is also the source of everything!"
"Getting this sheepskin scroll ans obtaining a treasure rich enough to rival a country, enough to make the protector of the nation vastly wealthy!"
At this mont, Ye Xunhuan understood why Xiahao Yunting said even the protector of the nation wants it.
If the treasure in this map really could make one incredibly rich, probably no one would refuse it.
"Could it be that this thing belongs to Xiahou Yuzhu?"
Xiahao Yunting nodded: "That's right, it's hers, but this thing absolutely cannot be revealed to the world, otherwise, who knows how many people will die because of it!"
"Who knows how many people will fight to the death for that wealth."
People are often greedy; in the face of great benefits and wealth, it is hard for anyone to resist, because this is a world where you can almost have everything as long as you have money.
"Grandfather, what you said is a bit confusing for . This thing is hers, but it's in your hands, aning you got it when you adopted her, and this should be sothing soone else told you..."
Xiahao Yunting looked at Ye Xunhuan appreciatively, "Do you know whose treasure this is?"
"Whose?"
"The King of Dash!"
"Li Zicheng?" Ye Xunhuan imdiately showed a look of surprise.
It is said that Li Zicheng almost scraped away the 270 years of wealth accumulated in the Ming dynasty, leaving not just one treasure, and even rumors say that the first pot of gold of the Shanxi rchants ca from Li Zicheng!
Ye Xunhuan doesn't know if this is true or false, but if it's truly the treasure of the King of Dash, Li Zicheng, then this treasure is definitely enough to rival a nation, and if revealed, Ye Xunhuan presus no one won't be tempted.
The wealth accumulated over 270 years of the Ming dynasty was all looted by Li Zicheng.
The concept of 270 years, and how much wealth it accumulated, is sothing ordinary people cannot imagine.
And those treasures, if placed today, are extrely valuable!
"Yes, exactly him!" Xiahao Yunting nodded, "This sheepskin scroll is the location of the treasure!"
"Then Xiahou Yuzhu..."
"She is a descendant of the King of Dash!" Xiahao Yunting sighed slightly, "Originally from a wealthy family, but unknown to her, soone leaked her family's origin, and the other side sought to find the King of Dash's treasure and wiped out her family overnight!"
"Her father and I may not have been sworn brothers, but we have a life-and-death friendship. Her father fought his way through a bloodpath to send her to , asking to take in Yuzhu!"
"When an old friend makes a request, how could I refuse? So I adopted her, and the sheepskin scroll also fell into my hands!" Xiahao Yunting said helplessly, "My old friend asked before he died not to give the sheepskin scroll back to Yuzhu, as he did not want her to be caught up in grudges, only hoping she could live a peaceful life!"
"She eventually found out, didn't she?"
"It's my fault for talking too much, accidentally leaking it, and she couldn't keep a secret and told Luo Hanlin, who then manipulated her to steal the sheepskin scroll from !" Xiahao Yunting said with a wry smile, "But even though they stole it, they couldn't unlock its secret!"
"Currently, I am the only one in the world who knows how to present the map on the sheepskin scroll. Besides , no one else can know!"
"That's why, even though they stole the sheepskin scroll for so many years, they have never obtained the treasure."
"Grandfather, have you ever seen this treasure?"
Xiahao Yunting gently shook his head, "No, but I can be sure that what's inside is definitely rich enough to rival a nation. I am quite familiar with my old friend's family's legacy!"
"Grandfather, didn't the other side have more than just you as a friend? Why didn't they find other people?" Ye Xunhuan asked with a frown, "Besides, our Xiahou family's foundation also seems very strong!"
Xiahao Yunting chuckled wryly, "Do you know how long the Xiahou family has existed?"
"How long?"
"A thousand years!" Xiahao Yunting said heavily, "With a thousand years of accumulation, do you still think it's a lot for the Xiahou family to have these things?"
"Moreover, since the existence of the Xiahou family, throughout different dynasties, the Xiahou family has always had a hero stirring the storm!" Xiahao Yunting said earnestly, "Even the Taiji Seal on Ruoxi's neck was once held by the Xiahou family a hundred years ago!"
"What?" Ye Xunhuan's eyes widened: "The Xiahou family once owned the Taiji Seal?"
