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

Chapter 9 The army sets out

Another three months passed, and the mansion was peaceful and harmonious.

After the weather turned warmer, Xia Wanwan specially built a pergola for the Chen Yi brothers outside the right wing of the backyard.

A small martial arts training ground was built not far away to facilitate the gentlemen to practice martial arts.

At the same time, Xia Wanwan also found a teacher who was good at swordsmanship, so that little Chen Yuan could learn from him from an early age.

"Qiu Shui sword technique emphasizes agility and requires the body to follow the sword..."

The instructor who taught the swordsmanship was named Ding Sansi.

It is said that the elders of the clan gave him this name because he was born on March 4th.

Although the name is perfunctory, his knife skills are not bad.

Especially this set of Autumn Water Sword Technique, which is more light and agile, danced so tightly in his hands that it was quite intimidating.

Even with Chen Yi's sword skills, he could only think of 130 sword techniques that could be broken.

This shows how exquisite his knife skills are.

"Second brother, do you think Mr. Ding's swordsmanship is a bit strange?"

While watching, Chen Yuan quietly came over and asked in a low voice.

"What's weird?"

Chen Yi glanced at the jade knife hanging on his wrist and wondered if the gift of the first birthday really had the ability to increase the wearer's talent in some aspect?
But after he put on the jade sword, apart from feeling stronger, he didn't seem to feel anything special...

"It's ugly."

Click.

Ding Sansi paused, the wooden sword in his hand tilted, and the tip of the sword broke and flew out.

His face changed, and he quickly bowed and said:
"Excuse me, young masters. I'll go get another wooden sword."

Needless to say, Chen Yi knew that Mr. Ding must have heard it.

"Please sir."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Yuan helplessly and said, "I think Mr. Ding's swordsmanship and footwork are very beautiful. What's ugly about them?"

"Didn't you notice?" Chen Yuan asked suspiciously, "He's so tall and thin, but he holds a knife. Just like in a theater... woo woo."

Chen Yi quickly covered his mouth and carefully watched Ding Sansi walk away before letting go.

Saying that his knife skills are ugly is fine, and then he looks like an actor...

"Brother, it's best not to say things like this in front of others."

"Why?"

"Easily beaten."

"Then can I tell my mother that Mr. Ding wants to beat me?" Little Chen Yuan scratched his head and asked in confusion.

Chen Yi: “…”

Well, it’s a good decision that Ding Sansi came to teach you how to use the sword.

If word of this got out, he would be fired the next day.

There was no other way, so Chen Yi had to persuade the child patiently to dissuade him from complaining to his parents.

"I understand!"

"Just like what I said about Kong Jing the Bald Donkey before, I can't say it to his face. And if he wants to beat me, I can't complain to my mother, right?"

"Let's just say..."

Chen Yi didn't know why little Chen Yuan had a special liking for "bald donkey". During the time they spent together, he often mentioned it.

He didn't even dare to imagine what expression the abbot of Dakong Temple would have when he found out.

"Yuan'er, Yi'er, come and eat some fruit."

At this time, Xia Wanwan pushed the door open carrying two plates of fruit.

"Okay, I want to eat grapes." Little Chen Yuan ran over, took the plate of fruit, and started eating.

Chen Yi bowed respectfully: "Mother."

Xia Wanwan put down the fruit and asked with a smile, "I just saw Mr. Ding leave in a hurry. Did something happen?"

"The wooden sword broke, so he went to the martial arts arena to get another one."

Chen Yi did not mention what his elder brother said about being ugly. He reached out and took a mango, then asked:
"Is father not leaving court yet?"

"No, it's probably going to be night time."

Xia Wanwan touched his head and asked gently, "Yier, are you also reluctant to see your father leave?"

She thought to herself that Yier had really grown up and would be reluctant to let her husband go to Beixiong Pass to guard the border.

Chen Yi nodded honestly, "Yeah, a little bit."

Haha, not at all.

Chen Taiping, the doting maniac, has no position at all when it comes to pitting his son. It's better to think about the ten great fairies of Taoism than him!

"Then do you want to meet your grandparents?" Xia Wanwan asked with an idea in mind.

Although she had rejected Zhou Wanyi's proposal in person before, such thoughts would pop up in her mind from time to time during this period.

After all, since she married into the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, she hadn't been back for three years except for one visit to Northern Zhili when she returned to visit her parents-in-law.

We have always communicated through letters.

"Mom, are you going to Beizhili?" Chen Yi thought for a moment and asked.

Xia Wanwan: "I want to go back and take a look, for fear that it will affect your foundation building assessment."

"And you can go with your father's army, but when you come back..."

Having said that, Xia Wanwan already had an answer in her mind - no reply.

Northern Zhili was too close to the border, and if they encountered any monsters on the way, both she and Yier would be in danger.

"I'm not going back."

"When you grow up, I will take you to Beizhili."

Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully.

Although he didn't know what Xia Wanwan was thinking, he personally didn't want to go to Northern Zhili.

It’s not that he was afraid of the long journey or the attacks of demons, he just couldn’t bear to leave his aunt Zhou Wanyi.

[You are over 31 years old and have made no progress. You were framed and accidentally took "cartilage powder"]

[Poison is mild, absorbed, counterattack point +1]

【Counterattack Points: 90/100】

Chen Yi glanced at the panel and thought that it was only ten o'clock before the second counterattack mission could be launched.

If he leaves the mansion, won't there be no one to harm my lady?
……

A few days later, it was the day when Wu'an Hou Chen Taiping led his army north.

Chen Yi and Chen Yuan both got up early.

With the help of the wet nurse, she washed and changed her clothes into a slightly formal brocade dress.

In addition to the gifts hung on their wrists, both of them also had jade rings hanging around their waists to represent their noble status.

Afterwards, they followed Xia Wanwan in a carriage and left the Marquis' Mansion, heading south along Zhuque Street to Guangyuan Gate.

Along the way, Xia Wanwan just hugged the two brothers Chen Yi and Chen Yuan tightly without saying a word.

Zhou Wanyi did not come along because of health problems.

Boom, boom, boom!

When Chen Yi climbed up the city wall, he heard the sound of drums.

Because he was not tall enough, he could only be held by the guards and look outside the city.

In the dim night with sparse starlight, a bonfire was burning brightly outside Guangyuan's door.

The soldiers wearing black armor and riding on tall horses were silent, and there was a murderous atmosphere.

The leader was none other than Chen Taiping, Marquis of Wu'an.

He was wearing black and red scale armor, with raised shoulder pads on both sides of his shoulders, and a helmet tucked under his arm. He looked at the city wall with a solemn expression.

This was the first time Chen Yi saw Chen Taiping with such an expression.

Normally in the Marquis' Mansion, he had a smile on his face most of the time, and his words and actions were very casual.

Just like those knights in the streets and rivers, they laugh when they are happy and curse when they are unhappy.

But rarely do anything.

Even when he was bumped by his servants, he would wave his hands and say, "Don't be so clumsy next time."

It can be said that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion not only respects Chen Taiping, but also likes him more.

Especially the servants, they all said that they had found a good master.

Although Chen Yi didn't want to admit it, he felt in his heart that a man like Chen Taiping was a real man.

Be responsible, have a sense of responsibility, and have a bottom line.

He can lead the troops to guard the border when he is on horseback, and he can also make the entire mansion feel at ease when he dismounts.

Just as Chen Yi looked at the military formation below, Chen Taiping saw them and a smile appeared on his serious face.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Chen Yi also saw Chen Taiping winking at them.

That funny look almost made him laugh out loud.

But it was only for a moment, as a shrill voice was heard, and the entire army paused.

"The Holy One has arrived!"
