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

Chapter 25: Full of Loyalty
It's him!

Chen Yi stared straight at the tall and old figure, his heart was like a surging wave.

The man in black who tracked him to the East City Gate that night turned out to be him—Jingye Hou Zhou Tiance!
A Wu Hou, a third-rank official of the Wei Dynasty, the head of a long-standing aristocratic family, actually attacked him personally? !
"Ok?"

When Zhou Tiance saw that Chen Yi was not affected by his murderous intent, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Then he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at the library deep in the martial arts field. His eyes became cloudy again, and he coughed a few times and said:

"Yuan'er, grandpa will take you back home."

But Chen Yuan kept shaking his little head, pulling at his gray stubble, and snorted in dissatisfaction: "Grandpa, I don't allow you to say that about father and second brother."

Zhou Tiance was not annoyed, and said with a doting smile: "No, I won't say it again. Come back to the mansion with Grandpa, okay?"

"Yeah." Chen Yuan nodded, and his little face immediately broke into a chuckle, boasting, "Grandpa, my second brother is so nice."

"He also taught me a song called something like Two, a nursery rhyme."

Tian Ce's expression of displeasure flashed across his face. He glanced at Chen Yi, turned around and continued to walk out, ignoring Chen Taihang and others beside him.

As they walked, he smiled and asked, "What nursery rhyme?"

That bastard actually dared to teach Yuan'er the ways of actors and singers. He is so young but his mind is so vicious... How hateful!
"Grandpa, let me sing for you."

As he spoke, little Chen Yuan leaned on his shoulder, blinked at Chen Yi, and sang in a baby voice:

"Twinkle twinkle little stars, how I wonder where you are……"

Chen Yi forced a smile on his face and waved at him.

The singing disappeared when Zhou Tiance walked out of the martial arts arena, and their figures became unrecognizable as well.

"Second Master, what should we do now?"

Several instructors in the martial arts arena looked at each other and smiled bitterly, obviously they had no way to deal with this Jingye Marquis.

They were very clear about the relationship between the Chen and Zhou families. The wife of their own marquis was the granddaughter of Zhou Tiance.

If things really get out of hand, it will just be like the left hand hitting the right hand, and if it gets out, outsiders will just laugh at them.

Chen Taihang sighed, frowned and thought for a few seconds, then ordered: "Old Ding, go to the old lady to confirm, and come back quickly."

"Yes, Second Master."

"Everyone else go back and continue practicing. Make up for the wasted time twice as much!"

"Yes, Chief Instructor!"

After everyone dispersed, Chen Taihang came up to Chen Yi, put his big hand on his head, and laughed loudly:
"Good boy, you can remain calm in front of the old marquis. You will definitely be a man when you grow up!"

Chen Yi was not happy with his praise.

After a few seconds of silence, he looked up and asked, "Second Uncle, can you tell me about Grandpa Zhou?"

"Old Marquis?"

There was something a little unnatural on Chen Taihang's rough face, as if this was a topic that he felt taboo about.

However, he thought of Zhou Tiance's overbearing scolding just now, and he couldn't help but vent his resentment, so he simply asked: "What does Yi'er want to know?"

Chen Yi hesitated for two seconds and replied: "He doesn't seem to like me?"

In fact, at this moment he had already listed Zhou Tiance as his number one enemy in his mind.

The malice outside the East City Gate before, the pressure from heaven and earth, and this time the undisguised murderous invasion.

He knew that Zhou Tiance wanted to get rid of him!
"dislike?"

Chen Taihang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "He is not targeting you, but he doesn't like anyone in our Chen family except Mrs. Zhou and Yuan'er."

"You don't like any of them?" Chen Yi was stunned.

"It's a long story, but you will know these things sooner or later..."

Then, Chen Taihang didn’t say much, but simply recounted some of Zhou Tiance’s experiences.

It turned out that twenty years ago, at the beginning of the three-year war when the "Demon King went south", it was Jingye Hou Zhou Tiance who was stationed at Beixiong Pass.

Because there was no prior intelligence, when the demon army arrived at Beixiong Pass, the garrison soldiers could only fight hastily.

It is easy to imagine what the outcome would be. In just five days, more than half of the Jingye Army led by Zhou Tiance was killed or wounded, and even his two sons died heroically.

It was not until two days later that the King of Zhenbei led a large army north to rescue and stabilize the situation in Beixiong Pass.

If it were just this, even if Zhou Tiance's Jingye Army suffered heavy losses, as long as Beixiong Pass was preserved, the court would be able to accept it.

But a great battle that took place later caused heavy damage to the soldiers under the command of King Zhenbei.

Chen Taihang didn't say much about the details of the battle.

It is said that after that battle, Zhou Tiance was seriously injured and several of his sons died one after another at the hands of demons.

It was also in that battle that the old man of the Chen family died heroically.

But combined with what Chen Taihang said before, that Zhou Tiance disliked the Chen family, Chen Yi speculated that there might have been an accident in that battle.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Zhou Tiance would have so many complaints against the Chen family when both families were damaged?

"Since that battle, Lord Zhou has suffered from a serious illness. He spent many years recuperating before asking His Majesty to rebuild the Jingye Army."

At this point, Chen Taihang paused, sighed and said comfortingly: "Of course, he is not only dissatisfied with our Chen family."

"He also dislikes the lineage of King Zhenbei and Marquis Taishan."

"That's it..."

A trace of thought appeared on Chen Yi's little face.

Zhou Tiance dislikes everyone. It can be understood that his Zhou family suffered too heavy a loss, so he has complaints against all the participants in that battle.

But it still cannot explain why Zhou Tiance treated him like this alone!
"Uncle, according to you, can the Jingye Marquis family be called a family of loyal heroes?"

"Of course," Chen Taihang said with certainty, "No one in the court will deny this. Even your father would have to show respect to the old marquis."

"So Yi'er, don't mind what the old marquis said just now. I guess he was dissatisfied with the emperor's order yesterday, not targeting you."

"Yeah." Chen Yi blinked, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Nephew has made a note of it."

That old bastard doesn't just want to target you, he wants to kill your nephew.

Of course, Chen Yi only thought about this in his mind.

If he really told it out loud, I'm afraid no one in the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion would believe it except for his biological mother Xia Wanwan.

Come to think of it.

How could the Zhou family, a family full of loyal heroes whose descendants all died on the battlefield of demons and heroes in the eyes of the world, be so despicable as to attack a child?

……

In the magnificent imperial city, bluestone and white jade are paved all over the square, outside the Qingzheng Hall.

Emperor Wei walked here and looked at this palace which was not remote but could be considered secluded in the imperial city.

After a while, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Little Twelve and Little Thirteen should like this place."

Liu Gao, the eunuch from the imperial city who went to announce the decree to Chen Yi, smiled flatteringly:
"Your Majesty is right. The twelfth prince has loved reading since he was young, and the thirteenth princess is also diligent and studious, so she naturally likes to be quiet."

"Like to study? Hardworking and studious?" The Emperor of Wei laughed and scolded, "Only you can say that shamelessly."

"I know my children well. If the two of them don't tear this place down, it's because Gu Tiangang is capable."

Liu Gao smiled awkwardly and slapped his lips, not daring to speak again.

"I heard that Jingye Hou went to the Chen family and took Chen Yuan away?"

"Your Majesty, I only heard that he was still in the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and said some bad things about Marquis Chen and Chen Yi."

"Oh, this Zhou Tiance is getting more and more confused as he gets older!"

Emperor Wei chuckled, turned and left Qingzheng Hall, and said leisurely.

"I want to see what he is up to..."
