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

Chapter 255 Why is he here? (Subscribe)
Although they said they were about to set off, Chen Yi still took Lin Xueru and others to have breakfast together in the Marquis' Mansion before preparing to set off for the imperial city.

Before leaving, he was dragged by Chen Taihang to take a bath and change clothes.

A maid in the mansion combed her hair, put on a feather crown, and dressed her in the purple robe that represented her status as a Marquis of Wu.

Lin Xueru followed the whole process until she saw Chen Yi, who was neatly dressed. His beautiful eyes were sparkling and as beautiful as the shining stars.

The two people stood in front of a bronze mirror that was large enough to illuminate half of their bodies, and they looked as radiant as a perfect pair.

"Brother Yi, this marquis's uniform looks so heroic on you, but it's a pity..."

Chen Yi sorted himself out in front of the bronze mirror. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but look back at her and said mischievously:
"It's a shame you didn't put it together for me yourself, huh?"

When he saw the maid combing his hair just now, he noticed that the little girl's eyes were full of eagerness, as if she wanted to dress him herself.

Lin Xueru stuck out her tongue: "I can't."

But she added silently in her heart - she can learn.

She was just thinking that if she married Chen Yi in the future, she would definitely personally take care of Chen Yi's preparations before he went out, and would not let anyone else do it.

She felt happy when she thought that she could organize Chen Yi's clothes by herself.

Chen Yi smiled and hung the sword bestowed by the Emperor of Wei on the belt around his waist. On the other side hung a jade plaque engraved with the seal characters of Yingwu Hou.

"Your talent lies in cultivation, not in these little things."

Lin Xueru said innocently, "No, Brother Yi's affairs are all big things to me."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"Brother Yi, you are just trying to fool me." Lin Xueru frowned and said unwillingly.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's up to you, but your cultivation cannot fall behind. Compared to these, I hope you are safe and sound."

Lin Xueru smiled, her slightly immature face was as beautiful as a flower about to bloom, and she nodded and said:
"My cultivation has improved again."

She never forgot what she thought in her heart on the night of the Lantern Festival when Chen Yi protected her behind him - she had to protect Brother Yi.

Chen Yi patted her smooth forehead lovingly and said with a smile: "Continue to practice at home. When I come back, I will take you to visit Kyoto Prefecture again."

He could see that the little girl's cultivation had improved again. Although not as fast as at Qianmo Cliff, it had also improved by a small level.

If this continues, the little girl will definitely become a powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers like Li Qingzhou.

"it is good."

Lin Xueru helped him straighten his collar and nodded.

"Father sent someone to the Marquis' Mansion a few days ago. I could see that he wanted to ask you when you would come out of confinement, but I didn't know what it was about."

After she had finished tidying up, Chen Yi smiled and said, "I will ask Uncle Lin about this after the court meeting is over."

Lin Xueru nodded and accompanied him to leave Chunhe Garden. She watched him and the two elders of the Chen family on duty get on the carriage before returning.

The Flower Fairy, Hua Youxiang and Xiao Xuanzhen watched the two of them part, and then followed them back to Chunhe Garden.

Previously, when Chen Yi was in seclusion, they temporarily lived outside the garden. Now that Chen Yi has come out of seclusion, they can also rest in Chunhe Garden.

"Brother Yi said that he would take us out when he comes back from court."

"Really?" Hua Youxiang was delighted at first, but then asked suspiciously, "Brother, don't you have to go to Kyoto Academy?"

"I don't think so," Lin Xueru hesitated and said, "The death of Mr. San from Kyoto Academy has nothing to do with Brother Yi."

Xiao Xuanzhen shook his head and sighed, "Junior brother is now the Marquis of Wei Chaoying. If the court summons him, he will also participate as appropriate."

The flower fairy thought of the huge shadow that stretched across the sky yesterday, and frowned subconsciously, with a hint of sadness on her face.

"Brother's safety is the most important thing. It's better to refuse if you can."

As they spoke, Lin Xueru and the others lost their previous excitement. The current Chen Yi was indeed not the same as before.

Chen Yi left the Marquis' Mansion in the same carriage with Chen Lixin and Chen Lide, but he didn't think too much about it.

Before he went to Taixu Dao Sect, he often went in and out of the imperial city. Although he had never met Emperor Wei, the imperial city was nothing more than a larger marquisate to him.

The city walls are higher than the palace walls, there are more servants and maids, the guards are very strict, and there are also beauties in the harem...

However, at this moment, his second grandfather Chen Lide and third grandfather Chen Lixin took it more seriously than he did, and kept talking about the "rules" of the imperial city on the way.

"Our Wuhou family is different from other court officials who come from civil official families. Since ancient times, we have never kneeled before the emperor."

"But in court meetings, it is better to pay attention to some etiquette, such as submitting memorials or expressing personal ideas, there are certain rules."

Chen Lixin practiced it step by step, chattering, "At the same time, we must be careful of the civil officials, most of them are hypocrites."

"Especially Minister Qian, who is in charge of the treasury. Yi'er, you are the new Marquis of Wu. All expenses must be allocated by the court. He is likely to embezzle a lot."

"And Lord Zuo Xiang, Xie Jing is now advocating for the co-governance of civil and military affairs, and has placed people from the Supervisory Department in the ranks of military marquises. Be careful that he sets a trap for you."

"In addition, he also wants to clean up the martial arts world, especially the famous sects and holy places in the martial arts world, and wants to bring their descendants into the court to be used by the emperor."

"Yier, the Taixu Dao Sect where you are is also on this list, so you need to be more careful about him..."

Chen Yi listened silently and was also enlightened.

Although he doesn't care about the title of Marquis Yingwu, nor does he care about money or other material things, no one can take what belongs to him.

Anyone who wants to set a trap for him had better consider his own cultivation.

Chen Lide looked at the quiet Chen Yi and interrupted, "Okay, Third Brother, you and I will help you in the court meeting today, Yi'er doesn't need to worry too much about this."

"At worst, we still have Lord Zhenbei and Duke Lin here. I'm sure those two old guys Xie Jing and Qian Beizhou won't dare to do anything reckless."

Chen Lixin paused and said, "That's the truth, but we still need to pay attention to what we should pay attention to. Besides, there is Jingye Hou..."

He looked at Chen Yi's expression and continued, "What Yi'er did in Jingye Marquis's Mansion earlier caused many ministers in the court to complain."

Hearing this, Chen Yi became interested and asked, "Third Grandfather, who are the ministers?"

"Um, which ones..."

Chen Lixin hesitated as he looked at Chen Lide beside him, and saw a flash of gloating in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said:
"They are all old chatterboxes, such as Tong Chuan, the governor of Kyoto Prefecture, and Fan Shaoqi of the Ministry of Rites. If they dare to speak nonsense to you during the court meeting, you don't have to be polite to them!"

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows: "Can we still do it in the court meeting?"

Chen Lixin was speechless and looked at Chen Lide again as if asking for help. How should he answer this question?

Chen Lide glared at him and quickly said with a smile: "It's better to give them some face in front of His Majesty."

Chen Yi said "oh" and said that court meetings should not be so bloody.

Otherwise, the Wu Hou lineage would not have been so easily suppressed by civil officials in the court.

"Today's court meeting should talk about what happened at the Kyoto Academy last night. Yier must have known that the third teacher died..."

Chen Yi listened to the two elders' stories while looking out the window.

At dawn, there were not many travelers in Kyoto Prefecture, but because the grand event was approaching, many people who could not afford the room or could not find an inn to stay in were sleeping in the corners of the streets.

From time to time, patrols from the Night Watch and the Black Armor Guards would pass by and select one or two men who looked ferocious for questioning.

Because of what happened at Kyoto Academy last night, martial law was clearly tightened in Kyoto Prefecture. But Chen Yi knew that such a method was too much of a joke for "Jijingtian".

Not to mention the huge phantom that appeared outside Beixiong Pass, Zhou Guanwu, who has reached the fifth level of supernatural powers and possesses the incarnation of divine will, can run rampant.

However, Chen Yuan, the new member of "Ji Jing Tian", is most likely to be discovered if he appears in Kyoto Prefecture.

It didn't take long.

The three of them arrived outside the imperial city. After a moment's preparation, Chen Lixin and Chen Lide led Chen Yi out of the carriage.

Chen Yi glanced around and found that this place was still the same as when he was a child.

The tall city walls were filled with black-armored guards inside and outside, and on the city walls there were sharpshooters with longbows on their backs, staring at everyone who approached the imperial city with eagle eyes.

At this moment, many court officials were waiting outside the city gate, gathering in groups of three or four to talk about the important events of last night.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, two teachers from Kyoto Academy had a big fight, and the third teacher died as a result!"

"It is said that the Third Master was dissatisfied with Wang Yang's affairs and blamed the First Master for not doing anything. As a result, the First Master got jealous and killed him in anger!"

"What you said is wrong. I heard it was because of other things. Do you remember that Yang Huan had a good classmate before he was promoted to Grand Secretary?"

"It is said that it is..."

The person who spoke looked around mysteriously, but when he saw a man in a purple robe with a long sword on his waist, his expression changed slightly.

"He, why is he here?"

"Who is it? Don't worry about who is here. Let's talk about the matter of the Kyoto Academy. There will definitely be discussions about it in the court today."

Others ignored him and thought that he was seeing a foreign minister who had not appeared in the court for a long time, just like the old Jingye Marquis Zhou Tiance.

However, when he looked around, he found that the sounds around him suddenly disappeared, and everyone was looking in the same direction.

Everyone had different expressions, some were suspicious, surprised, fearful, some were admiring and respectful. Most of them were from the Wu Hou faction or the Black Armor Guards.

"It's Lord Yingwu...!"

"Marquis Yingwu? Chen Yi? Where is he?"

"He is Marquis Yingwu. He is only my grandson at this age. Uh, I didn't say anything when I was an old man."

"I heard a few days ago that Marquis Yingwu was in seclusion in the palace. I didn't expect that he would come out just when the incident happened in the Kyoto Academy. I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid the court will be bustling today. I still remember that when the newly appointed Jingye Marquis Chen... Zhou Yuan first attended court, Wang Yang from the Kyoto Academy was imprisoned."

"Marquis Yingwu came here this time because something happened in Kyoto Academy. Do you think the Chen family is incompatible with Kyoto Academy?"

"Shut up! You even dared to make up stories about Lord Yingwu. Have you forgotten the Wu, Sun, and Zheng families who knelt outside the Chen residence?"

"..."

Chen Yi heard the discussions around him, but did not pay much attention to them. He just glanced around calmly and then stood beside Chen Lixin and Chen Lide.

He looked at the high walls of the imperial palace and felt a little emotional.

The last time he stood here was before he went to Taixu Taoist Sect. At that time, Gu Laodao and Ning Xue were his teachers.

Now one of them is still in Taixu Dao Sect and came to Kyoto Prefecture this time, and the other one has already gone to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield...

Things have changed and people have changed?

It really is!

His classmates who studied with him at Xingwu Academy have all grown up now.

Xie Dong'an and others are in the Kyoto Academy, and the Prince of Zhennan, Gongye Shou, is now able to guard the Nanman Checkpoint.

There are also Lin Xueru and others who joined Taixu Taoist Sect with him.

Although most of them grew up, some of them drifted away, like Wei Letian and Wei Xiaoyun. They had lost contact with Chen Yi since the Taixu Taoist Sect's small competition.

And Chen Yi himself has become the world-famous Marquis Yingwu!

"The time has come! Ministers, please enter the palace!"

Following a young eunuch's shout at the top of his lungs, the gate of the imperial palace slowly opened.

There are three big doors, one big and two small. The civil officials are on the left and the military officials are on the right. Those who can pass through the main door in the middle are kings, dukes, generals and ministers!

Chen Lixin and Chen Lide waved to Chen Yi and walked through the shorter door on the right.

Looking at these rules, Chen Yi was willing to follow them.

Lin Hansong, who had arrived at his side at some point, whispered, "Something might happen in the court today."

Chen Yi glanced sideways, then nodded with a smile.

He just realized that the person in front of Lin Hansong was Zhenbei King Du Qing, so he greeted him.

Du Qing looked at the purple robe on him and laughed loudly:
"Chen Yi, I never expected that you have become a martial marquis in just half a month since you returned to Kyoto Prefecture."

"If I had known this would happen, I would have personally welcomed you when you returned."

Chen Yi was startled for a moment, then after he came to his senses, he said in a daze, "Your Majesty, have you also heard about the discussions in the market?"

This was a rumor deliberately spread by the Tong family and other nobles when he had just returned to Kyoto Prefecture. He did not expect that the King of Zhenbei would make such a joke of it in public.

Du Qing smiled and said, "Sometimes, the people in Kyoto Prefecture have a more accurate vision than this king."

Before Chen Yi could speak, Lin Hansong interrupted him, "Your Majesty, didn't the emperor summon you last night?"

Du Qing shook his head, looked at the majestic palace behind the city gate, and said, "I heard that the master and others were ordered to come here last night."

Lin Hansong understood, glanced at Chen Yi, and said as if to remind him: "Such a big thing has happened in Kyoto Academy. Your Majesty should indeed consult with the Great Master and the Ninth Thousand Years Old Man and others."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded to show that he understood.

He knew the reason behind this matter better than anyone else.

Because of his actions in the Heavenly Prison and his notification to the Master to beware of Yang Huan, the people from "Extremely Pure Heaven" were exposed in advance.

Although the current situation was beyond his expectations, it was also reasonable. It was nothing more than Zhou Guanwu and others hiding again.

At this time, Lin Hansong continued:
"Yier, I heard that after Mr. San died last night, several people disappeared with him, including the new Jingye Marquis Chen Yuan."

"Someone will probably mention this matter in the court later. What are your plans?"

Du Qing pricked up his ears, also wanting to hear how he would answer.

Although only a few people noticed Chen Yuan when he was enveloped by the red light, there is no impenetrable wall in Kyoto, and nothing can withstand the investigation of those who are interested.

Especially those who are hiding in the dark like Mr. Yang Huan will attract a thorough investigation by the Night Watch and the Black Armor Guards.

Therefore, the actions of the three people who disappeared last night in Kyoto Prefecture have been discovered.

At the same time, Du Qing also knew that the only old guy left in Jingyehou Mansion... seemed to have gone crazy!
Hearing this, Chen Yi paused and his smile faded. He walked forward with a swift and vigorous pace, and said in a serious tone:

"He has changed his name from Chen to Zhou, and has nothing to do with my Chen family anymore!"
