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

Chapter 306 I am very unhappy (please subscribe)
Chen Yi walked out of the Marquis' Mansion.

The entire Jingye Marquis Mansion was silent, with only the faint sound of the lanterns swaying in the wind.

The two lanterns at the entrance shone brightly, not only illuminating Chen Yi clearly, but also making the screen wall representing the Zhou family's heritage clearly visible.

The ancestor of the Zhou family who had fought with the previous Emperor Wei a thousand years ago was wielding a spear and fighting in blood. His appearance seemed inexplicably tragic and heroic under the rosy glow.

Chen Yi turned around and looked. The coldness on his face disappeared, leaving only calmness.

Not only his face, but his mind also calmed down.

Chen Yi looked at the screen wall, and after a moment he suddenly snapped his fingers, and two silver-white sword lights crossed and slashed across.

With a loud bang, the screen wall collapsed.

In the broken relief, the eyes of the Zhou family ancestor were divided into several pieces, and under the light of the lantern, they seemed to be shedding tears of blood.

"The grudge is settled." Chen Yi took a look and then stopped looking.

From the moment he learned that Zhou Tiance was the one who attacked him in secret, the fate of the Zhou family was already determined.

However, this time was much later than he expected. Too many things happened in the meantime, forcing him to temporarily delay his attack on Zhou Tiance.

"The only one left is Zhou Guanwu."

There are only two and a half direct descendants of the Jingyehou Zhou family left, two of them are Zhou Guanwu and Zhou Wanyi, and the other half is the half-demon princess Xiaolan.

As for Chen Yuan and Chen Fan, they can only be regarded as side branches. In the future they will only consider themselves as members of the Chen family.

After all, now that Zhou Tiance is dead, it is impossible for Chen Yi to allow the eldest and third sons to take over the position of Marquis Jingye or "change Chen to Zhou" as he did before.

"grown ups……"

Wen Renying noticed that the aura in Jingye Marquis's mansion had dissipated, so she approached carefully and said:

"Please forgive me, sir. I have overstepped my bounds and offended you."

She deeply regretted speaking before. She wanted to show off Chen Yi's power, but unexpectedly kicked the horse's leg.

Chen Yi glanced at her with his eyelids slightly drooping, and said in a calm tone: "'Qianlong' is left to you."

"Yes, yes, sir, I promise that no one from 'Qianlong' will be left alive!" Wen Renying was secretly delighted that the sir still needed her.

"As for the noble families and chambers of commerce that they secretly support, I will not let them go either!"

Chen Yi nodded and looked towards the end of the street, where the Black-Armored Guards and people from the Night Watch who had noticed the commotion had already arrived.

"Go ahead and do it. You'll get what you want when we meet next time."

But he was not sure whether the next time he would see Wen Renying would be one year, two years or several years later.

Anyway, having given her several blood cores of great demon kings before, I think the "demon girl" should be able to accept a slower breakthrough in her cultivation.

"Yes, sir~"

Wen Renying regained her charming appearance and happily merged into the shadows and escaped away.

Chen Yi waited quietly there, with no intention of hiding anything.

Since the emperor and the court are reluctant to break off relations, he doesn't mind being a bad guy and being the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"Hurry up……"

Ji Xingyun, director of the Night Watch Department, led the team personally and sped all the way here.

In fact, after seeing the White Tiger divine will appear in the sky above Kyoto Prefecture, he knew clearly that the person who made the move was Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi.

He originally wanted to show up and make friends with Marquis Yingwu, but he didn't expect that as soon as he passed through Kyoto Academy, he realized that the location of the divine will was Marquis Jingye's Mansion.

This discovery almost made Ji Xingyun stop his horse.

As the chief of the Night Watch Department, he was well aware of the emperor's plot against Jingye Marquis Zhou Tiance, and he was even more aware of what the old marquis had done in secret.

Especially since twenty years ago, the old marquis's actions against the Chen family were no longer a secret in the eyes of those in the court.

And Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi took action in Jingye Marquis Mansion... Ji Xingyun's heart almost jumped out when he thought of that scene.

"My dear, the old marquis is already that old, and he won't live for many days. Why can't you wait a little longer?"

In the end, Ji Xingyun chose to come with a few Silver Flag Officers. After all, their Night Watch Division was responsible for protecting Kyoto Prefecture, and it was reasonable for him to be present.

From a distance, Ji Xingyun could clearly see Chen Yi outside the Jingye Marquis Mansion, and also saw the black-armored guards riding towards him from the direction of the imperial city.

Without thinking too much, he flashed to the front, clasped his hands together, bowed and said:

"Night Watcher Ji Xingyun greets Lord Yingwuhou."

"Have you just arrived here, sir?"

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ji Xingyun. This director of the Night Watch Department was indeed an interesting person.

These questions seemed to be inquiries, but in fact they were intended to remove him from the affairs of Jingye Marquis' Mansion. No matter what the Night Watch or the Black Armor Guards discovered in the mansion later, it had nothing to do with him.

Combined with what he learned during the day from his second uncle Chen Taihang, the Night Watch sent the regular money from the Sword Cultivation Holy Land to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, a total of 120,000 gold coins and a number of rare treasures.

Chen Yi could easily see Ji Xingyun's intention, and said with a smile: "Director Ji, just follow the rules and pretend that I don't exist."

Ji Xingyun's face changed slightly, he sighed in his heart, and had to bite the bullet and say:
"My Lord, you just arrived, right? Then I, the Night Watch, will investigate the Jingye Marquis's Mansion according to the rules, and will report to you the situation in the mansion later."

Chen Yi looked at him with a smile, but didn't say anything more.

If he said something like "An honest man does not do shady things, Zhou Tiance was killed by me" at this time, I'm afraid Director Ji's head would explode.

As soon as the people from the Night Watch entered the Marquis' Mansion, the Black-Armored Guards followed closely.

The leader was none other than Jiang Ziqi, the deputy commander of the Black Armor Guard.

He did not dismount and salute respectfully like Ji Xingyun, acting in a businesslike manner.

"I am Jiang Ziqi, the deputy commander of the Black Armor Guards, and I am honored to meet Lord Yingwu Hou."

"No need to be polite." Chen Yi gestured to the person behind him, raised his chin slightly and said, "Go and take a look, and report the truth to His Majesty later."

"You don't need Lord Yingwu's orders. I will report to His Majesty!"

Jiang Ziqi's face straightened, and after he finished speaking, he led several black-armored guards into Jingye Marquis' Mansion.

The remaining two teams of black armored guards and the flag bearers of the Night Watch surrounded him. They were not the leaders, so they did not dare to offend the Marquis Yingwu.

Chen Yi stood quietly aside, neither moving closer nor farther away, as if waiting for the verdict with a clear conscience.

Inside the Jingye Marquis Mansion, a fine layer of sweat had already appeared on Ji Xingyun's forehead.

The entire mansion was silent. A screen wall collapsed in the front yard, and nothing was found in the middle yard—or rather, only the Spring Rain Sword that was left in the main hall was taken back by Marquis Yingwu. In the back yard...

Zhou Tiance was lying on his back on the ground, his body stained with blood, his cloudy eyes were wide open and his face was hideous.

At one side, the old steward of the Marquis' Mansion was leaning against the rockery, seriously ill and without making any sound, but his face still looked peaceful.

At this time, Jiang Ziqi brought people to the backyard. After taking a look around, his face changed. He looked at Ji Xingyun and asked:
"What did you find?"

Ji Xingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back at him and said helplessly:
"As you can see, Jingye Hou Zhou Tiance and 'Xue Tu' Chen Ke are both dead."

Jiang Ziqi nodded slightly and asked, "Have you found the murderer?"

Ji Xingyun cursed inwardly, turned around and looked at him and said, "Old Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Ziqi showed no fear at all, "Please forgive me, Director Ji. I and my Black Armor Guards are all warriors. We are not good at investigating and solving cases. We really have no findings."

Ji Xingyun: “…”

Damn it Jiang Ziqi, are you trying to play this trick on me?
you are vicious!
Thinking of this, Ji Xingyun made up his mind to drag the Black Armor Guard into the water. He signaled to the Silver Flag Officer beside him and said in a voice transmission:
"Go and report what happened in Jingye Marquis's mansion to His Majesty immediately. Remember, you must say that it was my Night Watch and the Black Armor Guards who investigated together!"

The Silver Flag Commander calmly examined Zhou Tiance's body, then checked his condition, and then took the opportunity to go to the ancestral hall to check and quietly left through the back door.

Ji Xingyun secretly approved.

He was thinking of ordering him to be promoted to the Golden Banner Commander tomorrow. It was rare to find such a perceptive subordinate. "Commander Jiang, please come this way. I think we need to discuss this."

"What are you discussing?" Jiang Ziqi glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "Lord Yingwu Hou is still waiting outside the mansion. Why don't you go and report to him first?"

"You look anxious again, wait a moment..."

Ji Xingyun didn't care what he was planning. He just walked up to him, grabbed his arm and wouldn't let go, dragging him towards the main hall of the central courtyard.

In any case, what happened tonight could only have been discovered by the Night Watch and the Black Armor Guards together.

As for whether the murderer is Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi...that is the emperor's business!
……

In the imperial city.

Emperor Wei was originally in a good mood.

After discussing with Li Qingzhou and Taoist Xuanjian, the strategy for dealing with Buddhism was improved a lot.

Now that Wuliang Mountain, the first holy place of Taoism, has been closed, all Taoist sects can only be headed by Taixu Taoist Sect.

As long as the Taixu Dao Sect cooperates with the court's strategy, other Taoist sects will still do something on the surface even if they have different ideas. In addition, with the Confucian scholars headed by the Kyoto Academy, they can weaken the power of Buddhism, curb the development of its believers, and keep Buddhism within a controllable range.

But Emperor Wei's good mood only lasted until after the dinner.

When he was toasting with Li Qingzhou and others, he suddenly noticed some commotion in Kyoto Prefecture, and they were all stunned.

The master opened his mind and "saw" the scene of Chen Yi killing Zhou Tiance and Chen Yan, and put down his chopsticks immediately.

Li Qingzhou and Taoist Xuanjian looked at each other and almost collapsed before speaking.

Emperor Wei, who was sitting at the top of the table, also noticed something. The smile on his face froze instantly and he slowly put down his wine glass.

Beside him, Taoist Huangshan glanced at Taoist Xuanjian and smiled without saying a word.

Jiu Qian Sui secretly sighed in his heart, this Yingwu Marquis really made him worry.

The emperor has not yet issued an order to deal with the Zhou family, but Marquis Yingwu has already killed them. It's really...

To put it simply, it was a personal grudge between the Wu Hous. If it was taken too far, he would be charged with the crime of lawlessness and deceiving the emperor.

Thinking of this, the 9000-year-old looked at him, forced a smile and said, "It seems that after returning to Kyoto Prefecture, Marquis Yingwu is as determined as he was in the Demon Court."

He was reminding Emperor Wei that Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi had just returned from the Demon Court and his reputation was already established, so there was no need to start a war over a dying man.

The master understood his intention and nodded, saying, "It is a pity that old Lord Zhou passed away at an old age."

Emperor Wei: “…”

If he hadn't made up his mind how to deal with the matter, he would have probably scolded the two old guys.

Taoist Huangshan said with a smile: "Are you two blind? In my opinion, Marquis Yingwu did it happily."

"In public, he eliminated a scourge for our Great Wei, and in private, he relieved the Chen family of their hatred."

Taoist Xuanjian glanced at him and accepted it with a pinch of his nose, "Yier can't stand evil people the most, I guess he didn't think that much."

Li Qingzhou heard this and stood up and sighed, "Your Majesty is wise. My disciple is a loyal person and has no intention of ignoring the law."

"..."

Emperor Wei looked at them expressionlessly. These old guys had already said everything. What else could he say?
It's just that Zhou Tiance and the people of the Zhou family deserved to die, but Chen Yi came directly to kill them, which showed that he really didn't care about the court, the nobles, and the emperor.

"It seems that I spoke too early. Marquis Yingwu is really not pleasing to me."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Before Li Qingzhou could finish, Emperor Wei waved his hand and said, "Marquis Yingwu is young and full of vigor after all. I understand."

"I just sighed. When did I become cautious and put my own interests first, regardless of what happened next."

“Take Zhou Tiance for example. I know he did a lot of things behind the scenes, but I still consider his contributions to the Great Wei and his Zhou family’s contributions to the Great Wei, so I turned a blind eye.

In fact, doing so would discourage other meritorious officials.”

Emperor Wei paused for two breaths and said solemnly: "So in this matter, I was wrong!"

These words are very powerful.

The Great Master and the Ninth Prince were very impressed. This was the kind of mind that the Emperor of Wei should have.

Taoist Huangshan curled his lips slightly and did not comment.

Li Qingzhou looked at Taoist Xuanjian again, stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding of justice."

With these words from Emperor Wei, it at least showed that the court would not punish Chen Yi too harshly.

"Don't thank me yet," Emperor Wei shook his head and said, "Although Marquis Yingwu did the right thing, we still need to do something openly."

Li Qingzhou: "I don't know Your Majesty..."

"Master Qingzhou, don't worry," Emperor Wei said with a smile, "Didn't we make it clear before that Marquis Yingwu would not attend the event?"

"In my opinion, a young talent like Marquis Yingwu should be given more responsibilities. Why not let him be one of the three examiners of this event?"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed!" Li Qingzhou refused flatly.

"Why not? Marquis Yingwu is young and promising. His talent and cultivation are both top-notch. It is most appropriate for him to be the chief examiner."

"But what he did tonight..."

"Zhou Tiance was old and frail, and passed away a quarter of an hour ago!" Emperor Wei decided to let Chen Yi be the chief examiner, one to inspire other geniuses, and the other to make the death of Jingye Marquis a small matter.

Even if Chen Yi is not grateful for his imperial grace, he will still be able to have a good relationship with the Chen family in the future.

As the emperor of the Wei Dynasty, he had read the records of the historians of previous emperors. The most important thing among them was to warn future generations - do not conflict with the powerful people in the realm of supernatural powers, and focus on winning them over!
As long as those powerful people do not rebel and do not do anything that goes against the interests of the Wei Dynasty, everything else is trivial.

Now this rule is just right for Chen Yi. What's more, Chen Yi is not only a powerful person in the realm of supernatural powers, but also the most talented person in ancient and modern times. He deserves the emperor's lenient treatment.

"in this way……"

Just as Li Qingzhou was about to express his gratitude, he heard Liu Gao's voice outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Silver Banner Commander of the Night Watch requests an audience."

"Xuan."

Soon, the Silver Flag Order walked in quickly. After seeing everyone in the room, his back instantly tensed.

He didn't expect that in addition to Emperor Wei, there were also many powerful people here, including the Nine Thousand Year Old, the Taoist Priest Huangshan, the Great Master, Li Qingzhou, etc.

This, should I report it truthfully at this time...

Before Wang Dong could figure it out, Emperor Wei asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty," Wang Dong knelt on one knee and said, "Marquis of Jingye Zhou Tiance and the assassin 'Blood Slaughter' Chen Ke died in the palace. After a joint investigation by the Night Watch and the Black Armor Guards, it can be confirmed..."

Emperor Wei gave him a look, smiled even more, and asked, "What are you sure about?"

Wang Dong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It is certain that the murderer is Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi!"

"..."

Stupid and short-sighted.

The Emperor of Wei was already thinking of asking Ji Xingyun to severely punish the Silver Flag Order.

A moment of silence.

The Emperor of Wei stood up and said with a somewhat frivolous step, "I will have someone draft an edict to appoint Marquis Yingwu later, so you can go home now."

"Liu Gao, Liu Gao, come and help me, I am a little drunk."

"..."

The Silver Banner Commander raised his head quietly, not knowing why. Appointment of Lord Yingwu Hou? What appointment?
Oh no, he is late and seems to be in trouble!
