"eagle?"

More than thirty years ago, the mysterious eagle...

Chen Yi stared at the Nine Thousand Years Old Man with a feminine face, and recalled what Duke Xing said in his mind -

When the demon court marched south, someone in the court falsely accused Zhou Guanwu, but afterwards those people were either killed or went crazy.

Although Lin Hansong did not say it explicitly, his words implied that there was a mysterious existence hidden behind those people.

Is it...

"Yes, Eagle!"

Jiu Qiansui nodded slightly, dipped his finger in some wine, and drew a complicated symbol on the wine table.

Chen Yi took a look and raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this... an eagle?"

On the table was a symbol that looked very much like the seal character "eagle", but it had many more strokes than the seal characters he was familiar with.

For example, inside the "mouth" shape of the eagle's head, there is an additional eye pattern instead of the usual "a round dot".

In addition, the character "eagle" which should have two claws actually has five twisted vertical lines.

"It looks... very special. Does it represent a group of people, or does it have some other special meaning?"

"All."

A serious expression appeared on Jiu Qian Sui's feminine face as he asked, "Young Marquis, do you know the secret of the battle at Beixiong Pass more than 30 years ago?"

Chen Yi nodded and said, "A few days ago, I met my great-grandfather Chen Zhiwang, and he told me some things about Beixiong Pass."

In fact, before this, Xie Dongan was the first person to tell him the relevant secret.

And after that, it was Duke of Xing, Lin Hansong.

"Master Chen?"

The Nine Thousand Year Old looked at Chen Yi with a little surprise, and had a vague understanding in his heart.

If this is the case, Chen Yuan's succession to the position of Marquis Jingye is not entirely due to Zhou Tiance's credit.

Maybe the Chen family is also interested?

Thinking of this, Jiu Qian Sui said meaningfully: "It seems that the young marquis is highly valued by the Chen family."

Chen Yi looked at him puzzledly, then lowered his eyes, indicating that he should talk about the "mysterious eagle".

Jiu Qiansui smiled and continued, "Since the young marquis has already heard about it from him, I will not elaborate on it."

"Back to the topic."

He pointed at the symbol on the table that was rapidly dissipating and said, "The demon court went south. Because of the turmoil in the court, the Zhou family suffered a great disaster."

"Thus, His Majesty naturally knew that he had been deceived, and he ordered people to investigate who was responsible."

"But unfortunately, it's too late."

"Those people left no trace. Apart from the court officials and their families who were thrown out to die by them, the Night Watch did not find any clues."

"except this!"

A hint of coldness appeared on Jiu Qian Sui's face, and his eagle eyes stared sharply at the symbols on the wine table.

"This 'eagle' symbol was found on the body of the former Left Prime Minister Sun Tianlin."

Hearing this, Chen Yi couldn't help but ask: "On your body?"

"Yes, on his body!" Jiu Qian Sui nodded and said, "To be precise, it was imprinted in his eyes."

He pointed to his right eye and said, "It's imprinted deep in his pupil. And with the formation in the imperial city, no one noticed that there was this symbol in his eye that shouldn't exist."

"Wait," Chen Yi understood, "You mean, this symbol is not just a symbol? It also has some kind of power?"

"Is it a magical power, a technique, or some kind of 'tool'?"

"Magic power." Jiu Qian Sui raised his lips, revealing a bit of viciousness, and subconsciously raised his orchid finger and said:
"And it's not just an ordinary magical power. It's a magical power that can subtly erode a person's mind and control all of his actions. The person being controlled won't even notice it afterwards."

"Unfortunately, Sun Tianlin was secretly manipulated by someone to frame Zhou Guanwu, which led to the tragedy at Beixiongguan."

Hearing this, Chen Yi carefully examined the mark and asked, "Are the other court officials also being controlled?"

Jiu Qian Sui shook his head and said, "Only a very small number."

"The people behind this mark don't need to control everyone. They only need to control people like Sun Tianlin and the former Minister of Rites."

Chen Yi looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "So, you and His Majesty just use 'it' as a symbol of identity for those people?"

Jiu Qian Sui smiled softly, "I am glad that the young marquis is a serious person."

Chen Yi frowned slightly, and said with a slightly unhappy look: "Many times I am not rigorous, on the contrary I am very impulsive."

"Forgive me," Jiu Qian Sui said, changing the subject: "Actually, this is not the first time 'it' has appeared."

"It has been four hundred and thirty-two years since I entered the palace as a child. During this period, 'it' has appeared three times."

Chen Yi turned his attention back to the "eagle" symbol, waiting for his next words calmly.

"The first time it happened was 332 years ago. That time, this symbol appeared in the eyes of Tuoba Yan, the leader of the Black Armor Guards."

"He was in charge of investigating an old case at the time... I can't go into the details, and the young marquis probably isn't interested either."

"As a result, the Buddhist scriptures from the Western Land reached the Wei Dynasty."

"That was when the royal family built the Dakong Temple?" Chen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Nine Thousand Years Old, why don't you say more."

"Well, the young marquis is paying attention to even such a trivial matter?"

"I happened to hear it," Chen Yi said calmly, "and too many monks have come to Kyoto Prefecture recently."

Jiu Qiansui was really surprised this time, "It seems that the young marquis's mind is not entirely focused on cultivation."

Chen Yi glanced at him, poured a glass of wine calmly, and said:
"I don't like trouble, and I don't have much time."

Hearing this, Jiu Qian Sui scratched his combed black hair on his forehead subconsciously and said:

"I'm old now, please forgive me, I always think more."

"Your Majesty too?" Chen Yi calmly finished the wine in his glass and asked without any sign of being inferior.

"..."

Jiu Qiansui burst into laughter and stopped speculating on Chen Yi's character and style of doing things.

"Let's get back to the point. The case that Tuoba Yan investigated involved a gentleman from Kyoto Academy."

"He was also the most respected Confucianist in the Wei Dynasty. He was very critical of Buddhism and repeatedly advised against its destruction."

"And when Tuoba Yan investigated thoroughly, that gentleman became the first Confucian saint in the history of the Wei Dynasty to be exiled to Mount Taizhou."

"Because of this, the then Emperor Wei agreed to build the Dakong Temple, and his brother, Prince Kong, became a monk and became the abbot of the Dakong Temple."

Suppress Confucianism and introduce Buddhism from the West.

Chen Yi secretly took note of it and asked, "Is this the symbol you found on the Black Armor Guard Commander?"

"I guess so." Jiu Qian Sui was unwilling to say more and continued, "And the second time it appeared was one hundred and twenty-four years ago."

"They stamped this symbol on a Wuhou, who was the King of Zhennan at the time."

"That is the great-grandfather of the current Zhennan Prince Gongye Jiahong, in Gongye Wangyue's eyes."

"Two changes occurred as a result - one was the rise of civil officials and nobles in the court, and the other was the close relationship between the Zhennan King's lineage and the Nanman Cult."

"The third time was after the Fengyue Demon Emperor ascended the throne. The Demon Court moved south, the Zhou family was almost wiped out, and the court was in turmoil, so that the 'civil officials and military officials' reached a balance again."

After listening to this, Chen Yi looked at him thoughtfully and said, "They seem to be planning something?"

Jiu Qiansui nodded: "Yes, His Majesty thinks so too."

"It's a pity that after so many years of investigation, I still know nothing about them."

"I don't know their identities or their purpose. It's like they don't even exist in this world."

Chen Yi's heart moved slightly. Not in this world?

Taizhou Mountain?
His first reaction was that the person behind this "eagle" shaped talisman came from Taizhou Mountain.

Just like Zhao Tianhe... Well, I can ask them during the next Xunwangtian Dharma Assembly.

"You said this, is it related to His Majesty's decision to make the Chen family a target?" Chen Yi said thoughtfully:
"So the emperor intends to use the Chen family to lure them out?" "To be precise, the emperor hopes that you can lure them out." Jiu Qian Sui looked at him seriously and said:

"This matter does not involve other members of the Chen family."

Having said this, Jiu Qian Sui paused and continued:
"From the three discoveries I know of, those people always target the point that affects the situation in the court."

"Although their purpose is unclear, it can be seen that they do not want the court to be in chaos."

"Just like when Confucianism was too powerful, they introduced Buddhism to suppress Confucianism and Taoism."

"When the power of the Prince of Zhennan became too great, they suppressed him, allowing the civil officials to gain power."

"But when the civil officials gained power, the Beixiongguan incident occurred, and the court returned to balance again."

Chen Yi looked at him calmly and asked calmly:
"Therefore, His Majesty has repeatedly increased the stakes for the Chen family and built up momentum for me, hoping to make me a pawn to disrupt the balance."

"Yes."

"What about the marriage that His Majesty has arranged for my brother? Does His Majesty hope that he can be excluded?"

"That's another matter," Jiu Qian Sui shook his head and smiled softly:

"It seems that you don't know that His Majesty has agreed to Chen Yuan's succession as Marquis Jingye."

Click.

The wine glass in Chen Yi's hand shattered instantly, and his eyes were cold.

"When did this happen?"

Earlier in the Chen family ancestral temple, he had guessed from the old lady and Chen Zhiwang that Zhou Tiance wanted to "take over the magpie's nest."

Now it seems that Zhou Tiance’s goal is not necessarily to invade the Chen family, it is also his plan to allow the Zhou family to have a successor.

"The day before yesterday, when you set out to Wuliang Mountain," Jiu Qiansui glanced at him, poured a glass of wine nonchalantly, and said:
"Your Majesty has long been aware of Lord Zhou's plan."

"Originally he wanted to refuse, but the whole court did owe Lord Zhou the old Marquis for the matter of Beixiong Pass."

"Is this the emperor's compensation to the Zhou family?" Chen Yi asked in a cold tone:

"Or does His Majesty think that this will help him achieve his goal faster and make me his sword?"

Jiu Qian Sui frowned and asked in confusion: "Is it because of Chen Yuan or because of Zhou Tiance?"

Based on his observation of Chen Yi during this period, the young marquis did not care much about other people's affairs.

Unless it involves someone he cares about... Chen Yuan?
Chen Yi scattered the powder from the shattered wine glass in his hand and said, "If I use the 'Eagle' as a bargaining chip, can His Majesty refuse Zhou Tiance's request?"

He didn't know why Chen Yuan agreed, but judging from what Zhou Tiance had done to the boss before, it was nothing more than a threat.

But Chen Yi still didn't quite understand.

Considering the boss's current swordsmanship and what happened between him and Senior Sister Ling, he shouldn't agree to this.

Especially since the boss is well aware of his strength, it is impossible for anyone to hurt him.

Is it because of Chen Fan and Zhou Wanyi?
Chen Yi didn't know, but what was certain was that it was time for him to return to Kyoto Prefecture!
"impossible!"

Jiuqian Sui's face also turned cold, and he said, "The reason why His Majesty agreed is not only because of Zhou Tiance, but also because he values ​​Chen Yuan as much as he does."

"And Chen Yuan was also in the hall that day, and he did not express any refusal."

Chen Yi looked at him straight, his expression unchanged.

A moment of silence.

Chen Yi stood up, waved his hand to shatter the divine will arranged by the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, and appeared in front of the diners.

The whole tavern suddenly fell silent, and more than a dozen martial artists who were discussing Wuliangshan's self-proclaimed emperor for a hundred years stared at him in amazement.

The next moment, someone recognized him.

"Little, little, little sword fairy?!"

"No mistake! He, he is the 'Little Sword Master' Chen Yi!"

"But……"

Chen Yi frowned slightly, and his sword intent suddenly burst out, pressing everyone in the tavern to the ground.

As wine and drinks flowed, these people were overwhelmed by the fierce sword force and could hardly breathe, let alone speak.

When the Nine Thousand Year Old Man saw this scene, he sighed, waved his hand and released some divine power to make these martial artists faint.

"I don't know why the young marquis is angry, but I advise you not to act on impulse."

"At least we should understand the whole story before making a decision..."

Chen Yi turned his back to him and interrupted, "I don't know what the emperor is going to do, but I still can't guarantee that I won't hinder his plan!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiu Qiansui immediately stepped in front of him, frowned and persuaded him:
"I have one last word, no, two words!"

Chen Yi looked at him with no intention of speaking.

"All signs indicate that Zhou Guanwu is not dead!"

"Whether you agree or not, because of your existence, the Chen family of Wu'an Marquis has been targeted by 'it'!"

The Ninth Thousand Year Old Man didn't want to tell him this, but he couldn't bear to see Chen Yi destroy the Emperor's years of planning for some reason.

They all knew that if they missed this opportunity, no one could be sure when those people would show up again.

Seeing that Chen Yi seemed to be persuaded by what he said, Jiu Qian Sui spoke faster and continued:
"I suspect that Zhou Guanwu's fake death and escape was also part of 'it's' plan."

"What is 'it's' purpose?"

Chen Yi was not surprised that he was targeted by anyone with ulterior motives, nor was he surprised that the Chen family was targeted.

But he had to admit that he had indeed not expected that Zhou Guanwu was not dead.

If Zhou Guanwu had not died in Beixiong Pass, then all of its plans... would be unimaginable!
"I don't know," Jiu Qian Sui said solemnly, "but I know that His Majesty needs you!"

"Your cultivation and strength are enough for us to deal with them until we find out everything about 'it'!"

Chen Yi looked at the sincere look on his face, was silent for a moment, nodded, and walked out of the tavern without saying a word, and headed towards Kyoto Prefecture.

Jiu Qian Sui breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked around, then carefully cleaned the area with his divine sense.

"It seems that I was wrong."

"The young marquis is not only rigorous, domineering, and extremely talented, but he is also very impulsive."

Of course, he didn't think this was wrong.

After all, Chen Yi is only seventeen years old now. Even though he has a high level of cultivation, his sophistication and self-cultivation are still not very high.

Jiu Qiansui murmured: "Fortunately..."

Fortunately, he had just made some amends, otherwise if Chen Yi had really ruined the emperor's plan, he would have been blamed for it.

With this thought in mind, Jiu Qian Sui looked around and sighed with a hint of regret:

"Please forgive me, I'm just to blame for you seeing something you shouldn't have seen."
