I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 174 Brother Yi! (Subscribe)

A thousand miles south of Zhennan Pass, a town covering an area of ​​dozens of miles suddenly emerged.

The town is surrounded by high walls made of huge stones on all sides, with gates on the north and south sides, with "Wei Man Yi Shi" written on them.

It took only three days for Zhennan King Gongye Jiahong to order people to build this "trade market" between the Wei Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians.

During this period, not only soldiers from Zhennan Pass participated, but also barbarian strongmen from the Nanman Religion and craftsmen from Wangchuan County and other places were recruited.

A new bluestone road was built between the north gate of Weimanyi City and Zhennan Pass. The road surface is flat and ten feet wide.

Along the way, there was a fortress every few miles on both sides, and the surrounding areas were guarded by Wei soldiers.

From time to time, merchants with trading company flags would travel from north to south, transporting various supplies.

"Wow!"

Wei Jinyu's eyes lit up when he looked at the brand new roads, houses, and busy business travelers in Yi City.

"Chen Yuan, look, there are so many people here."

Behind her, Chen Yuan, who was carrying a black wooden coffin, ignored her and walked through the crowd towards Zhennan Pass.

These days, he had already heard about the war from the barbarian tribes.

It’s just that the barbarians have more hatred and sadness.

He hated the people of Wei and the "Little Sword Master" Chen Yi, but his sadness came from the hundreds of thousands of barbarians who were killed and injured.

In almost every tribe, large numbers of people died tragically.

However, the barbarians did not pay as much attention to funerals as the Wei people. After the corpse was transported to the tribe, they would hold special sacrifices to comfort the soul and bury the body.

Wei Jinyu pouted, looking at Chen Yuan's back which never stopped, waving her fist "fiercely" as if she wanted to beat him up.

But when she saw him walking away, she hurriedly chased after him, chattering about the scenery that she thought was interesting and beautiful.

These days, she has long been accustomed to Chen Yuan's coldness.

Apart from cursing "wooden" in her heart, she didn't think too much about it.

Especially after seeing Chen Yuan's care for Ling Yinrong, Wei Jinyu imagined a tragic love story and directly labeled Chen Yuan as "infatuated".

Therefore, Chen Yuan's attitude towards her can be explained.

"Those barbarians should be quiet for a while now," Wei Jinyu said with a smile.
"Look, there is a Nanman Cult shop over there. It seems to be selling Nanman specialties."

Chen Yuan glanced at them and said calmly, "They won't give in."

Along the way, he has seen too many hostile looks.

Among them were some Nanman followers who recognized his identity, but more of them were attracted by his identity as a Wei person.

Although this battle was initiated by the Nanman Sect to attack Zhennan Pass, and the heavy casualties were their own fault, it is impossible for them to blame everything on their own aggression.

When they saw their fellow tribesmen being killed or injured, they would only hate the Wei people even more.

"So what if you don't surrender?" Wei Jinyu snorted, "We have a strong army and horses. Even if your second brother doesn't take action, there will be others who will take care of them."

"If they dare to come in large numbers again, Father will definitely order us to go deep into the southern barbarians and slaughter them all in that dense forest!"

Chen Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything.

War is no joke. How can it be as easy as she makes it sound?

What's more, this time the Nanman Sect and the demons came well prepared. If my second brother doesn't take action, it will be a question whether Zhennan Pass can be defended at this moment.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wei Jinyu rolled his eyes and asked, "Chen Yuan, you will inherit the position of Marquis Wu in the future, right?"

Chen Yuan paused and shook his head, "No."

"Why?" Wei Jinyu was stunned for a moment and said:

"Don't you want to lead the Wu'an Army to garrison Beixiong Pass, or break through the Hundred Thousand Mountains and destroy the Demon Court?"

"No reason." Chen Yuan tightened the coffin in his hand and walked towards the north gate of Yi City.

Although he could indeed inherit the title of Marquis of Wu'an with his status, his mind was no longer on the title or the court.

Watching him go away, Wei Jinyu stamped his feet and chased after him sullenly.

"Wait for me..."

The combination of the two also attracted the attention of busy business travelers around them.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Yuan's white hair made it hard for them not to notice him.

"Juedao Chen Yuan?"

Some of the wanderers who came here recognized Chen Yuan's identity and started pointing and talking about him unconsciously.

"It's him, currently ranked seventh on the Earth Ranking."

"I didn't expect that what was said in the Tianjiao List about his personality changing drastically and his hair turning white overnight was actually true. I thought it was made up."

"I heard that he became like this because his companions died."

"Companions? How is that possible? He is the descendant of Jue Dao, the most ruthless. How could he care about the life and death of his companions?"

"Who knows?"

At this moment, Pang Zongkang, Marquis of Baihua, who was in charge of patrolling "Yi City", also saw them.

After looking at it for a while.

Pang Zongkang thought of the letter from Kyoto Prefecture, so he took the Baihua Guards to block their way.

"Your Highness, please stay."

Wei Jinyu was startled and looked at them in surprise: "Uncle Pang, you are here too?"

She looked at Chen Yuan, her heart tightened for no apparent reason, and asked, "Did mother believe it later?"

Pang Zongkang has some connection with her biological mother and they can be considered distant cousins.

So she was quite familiar with this Baihua Hou, having met him several times when they were young.

"Yes," Pang Zongkang replied, looking at Chen Yuan and smiling, "My dear nephew, the queen sent a letter asking me to see Her Royal Highness the Princess and send her back to Kyoto Prefecture."

As a military marquis, he naturally knew Chen Taiping's two sons.

In fact, when Chen Yuan and Chen Yi were listed on the "Tianjiao List", several other martial masters were extremely envious of Chen Taiping.

Moreover, Xu Hengjun lamented to him privately that the descendants of Marquis Wu under the command of this generation of King Zhennan would probably be suppressed by the two sons of Marquis Wu'an.

Pang Zongkang agreed with this, but also felt that there were some not-so-good aspects to it.

After all, the Wu Hou tradition has been passed down for thousands of years, and there have been many brilliant geniuses during this period, but most of them did not end well.

Only a very few can die of old age, and most of them die on their respective battlefields.

"Please do as you please, Lord Pang." Chen Yuan looked at them and nodded.

"Hey?" Wei Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly shouted: "Chen Yuan, you, you..."

For some unknown reason, she felt a pain in her heart.

She wanted to ask Chen Yuan to go back to Kyoto with her, but she knew that was impossible.

Or, if she doesn’t go back and stays with Chen Yuan...that’s impossible!
Chen Yuan, however, did not have so many thoughts. He said without turning his head, "Princess, you should go back."

After saying this, he walked around them without stopping.

Seeing him leave so resolutely, Wei Jinyu's eyebrows raised and he couldn't help but stamp his feet again.

"Stinky wood, big wood!"

However, she knew that this time she would not be able to follow him no matter what.

After all, Pang Zongkang and those solemn-looking Baihua Guards were by her side. Even if she didn't think about herself, she had to take her identity as a royal family member into consideration.

Pang Zongkang looked at Chen Yuan's leaving back and his eyes fell on the long silver hair.

The two sons of Marquis Wu'an are really very different.

A moment of silence.

Pang Zongkang said with a serious look: "Your Highness, please follow me. I will arrange for someone to take you directly back to Kyoto Prefecture later."

"Uncle Pang, can I not go back?" Wei Jinyu asked, biting her lip.

"No! If I didn't see Your Highness, it would be fine, but since I did, I can't justify your departure."

"But……"

"Your Highness, Chen Yuan has been granted marriage by His Majesty!"

"What?" Wei Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and asked quickly: "Why did the emperor grant him a marriage? No, which daughter is the emperor going to grant him a marriage?" Pang Zongkang shook his head and said: "Your Highness the Princess will know when she returns to Kyoto Prefecture."

Wei Jinyu frowned, and seeing that Chen Yuan had already walked out of Yi City, he thought for a moment and said:

"Uncle Pang, please send me back to Kyoto Prefecture as soon as possible."

Seeing her expression, Pang Zongkang frowned inwardly.

The reason why he told Wei Jinyu that Chen Yuan was granted marriage by the Emperor was to test her.

Now seeing how anxious she was, how could Pang Zongkang not see it?

However, he did not say more. After all, it involved the royal family and Wu Hou, and if it got out, it would easily cause trouble.

"Your Highness, please follow me."

After everyone had left, the merchants and travelers who were watching nearby began to discuss the situation in a low voice.

Of course, their focus was on Wei Jinyu, and they were also curious about the relationship between her and Chen Yuan, the successor of the ultimate sword.

……

The scene that just happened was also seen by Chen Yi who rushed over. He was hanging above the clouds, looking at the people below and frowning secretly.

"Marriage?"

Why did Emperor Wei suddenly grant Chen Yuan a marriage?

Chen Yi didn't know.

But his intuition told him that there was something strange about this matter.

Chen Yi glanced at Wei Jinyu and others below, then followed Chen Yuan into Zhennan Pass.

It was not until they reached the post station outside Wangchuan County that Chen Yi showed up.

"Second brother?"

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly put down the black wooden coffin in his hand and asked, "Are you waiting for me here?"

Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I guess so."

He looked at the black wooden coffin on the side and knew that the person lying inside was Senior Sister Ling Yinrong, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Chen Yuan noticed his look and his expression changed slightly.

"You're not planning on taking Senior Sister Ling back to Jianfeng Mountain, are you?"

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Chen Yi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "I know you won't agree."

Chen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and laughed dryly, "Well, I thought you had gone back a long time ago."

Given Ling Yinrong's identity, she should indeed return to Jianfeng Mountain.

But he didn't want this to happen, especially he didn't want to see that the person coming was Chen Yi.

"Some accidents happened during this period."

Chen Yi gave a brief explanation and took him into the tavern at the post station.

"Do you remember the method of resurrection I told you before? These days I accidentally obtained some books that recorded the method in detail."

Chen Yuan was delighted, "Second brother, show it to me quickly."

Chen Yi's sword intent spread out, obscuring the five senses of the surrounding Jianghu people. He placed a few things on the table and said:
"In addition to the method of resurrection, there is also a volume of skills that can weaken the influence of the absolute sword. I will also give it to you."

Chen Yuan paused while flipping through the books, but did not say a word of thanks.

It’s not that he couldn’t say it, but the two of them had known each other since childhood, and talking too much would make it seem awkward.

But after Chen Yuan finished reading it, his face became serious.

"Second brother, where did you find these things?"

With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult to see the value of the two bamboo slips in his hands.

Even if any one of them was taken out alone, it would cause a great stir in the martial arts world and the court, let alone two volumes like this.

Chen Yi guessed his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, brother, these were all found in the secret realm."

"Besides, with my current strength, it's not difficult to get these things."

As he spoke, he raised his head slightly, with a slightly arrogant look on his face, just like when he was a child and was praised by Mr. Houfu.

"Yes, yes, my second brother is already invincible in the world." Chen Yuan felt relieved and said with a smile.

Chen Yi: “…”

Who knows which second brother he is talking about?
After complaining in his heart, Chen Yi took out a jar of Qingquan wine, opened it, and started drinking with Chen Yuan.

"Hmm, this wine..." After Chen Yuan drank a bowl, he felt that his muscles, bones, blood and flesh were shaking and his whole body was filled with strength.

“Given by the elders, the effect is good.”

Chen Yi didn't explain too much, and chatted with Chen Yuan while drinking. He didn't mention Ling Yinrong, nor did he talk about what he had seen in Weiman Yi City before.

"When does Brother plan to return to Kyoto Prefecture?"

"After a few days," Chen Yuan looked at the coffin beside him and said calmly:

"I'll be back after I finish some things."

As he spoke, he looked straight at Chen Yi and said, "After I return this time, I should head to Mount Taizhou soon."

"So anxious?"

Chen Yi was stunned, frowned and thought: "Brother, I have to remind you that the Netherworld River is very dangerous, even the Divine Ability Realm cultivators can hardly escape."

"Don't worry, second brother," Chen Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "I won't be so impulsive, it's just... my cultivation will improve faster there."

However, the inheritance of the ultimate sword also emphasizes killing.

He couldn't go on a killing spree on the Tianyuan Continent, as that would only bring harm to those close to him.

But on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain, he no longer had those concerns.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, nodded and said: "The environment there can indeed help you improve your cultivation faster."

"right……"

Chen Yi did not try to persuade him any further. If it were him, he would only do something more extreme than Chen Yuan.

However, he was also aware of the situation in Taizhou Mountain. If he wanted to grow there, it was not as simple as having outstanding talent.

Afterwards, the two of them no longer had the mood to chat.

soon.

Chen Yuan stood up, carried the black wooden coffin and left the post station.

"Second brother, see you in Kyoto Prefecture."

Chen Yi looked at his leaving figure and sighed secretly.

Ever since he learned that Chen Yuan had become the successor of Juedao, he would occasionally think of the original ceremony.

If he had thought more deeply at that time, the eldest brother would have received the Chen family's jade knife as the gift for the new year instead of going to Jingye Hou again.

Maybe then, everything would be different.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi flew up and went straight back to Jianfeng Mountain.

But what he didn't know was that Chen Yuan on the other side saw someone unexpected.

"Master Yuan, the master and the young lady asked this old servant to bring you a letter..."

……

A day passed and it was already night.

Chen Yi crossed the four prefectures and all the way back to the Taixu Taoist Sect. After meeting the patrolling disciples of the Martial Arts Hall, he returned to Jianfeng Mountain.

He thought that all his fellow disciples had already rested, so he didn't make any noise. Unexpectedly...

Chen Yi saw three people outside his room, "Little girl, Senior Sister Ning, Xiao Xuanzhen, what are you doing?"

When Lin Xueru saw him, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she ran into his arms.

"Brother Yi!"

　That's all for tonight, I'm not in a good mood... I'm taking a day off, I'll continue to update tomorrow!!
