"Marquis Wu'an has returned to the city!"

"Marquis Wu'an has returned to Heiling County!"

As soon as Chen Taiping appeared at the north gate of Heiling County, the news spread throughout the county, and everyone couldn't help but relax.

The fact that the Wu'an Army left the camp yesterday attracted the attention of many people, who speculated that something had happened at Beixiong Pass and that a war was about to break out. Some people from noble families had even begun to pack up their belongings and planned to move to the provincial capital in the south.

Unexpectedly, before they could pack up, the Wuan army returned.

"The return of Marquis Wu'an means that there will be no more fighting in Beixiong Pass in the short term."

"It seems to be a false alarm. This Marquis Wu'an is really something. There is no battle at Beixiong Pass, so why did he mobilize so many troops?"

"As far as I know, Beixiong Pass was brightly lit last night. All the logistical supplies outside the pass were delivered inside the pass, and even the formation was activated."

"Perhaps there are some changes that we are not aware of. Anyway, it is a good thing for us that Wu Anhou can return to Heiling County."

Someone who was well-informed looked at Chen Taiping and his companions galloping on their horses and said thoughtfully:

"indeed so."

"Early this morning, news came out from Kyoto Prefecture that the Emperor of Wei was very pleased last night, and it seemed to be related to Chen Yi, the son of Marquis Wu'an and now Marquis Yingwu."

"Marquis Yingwu?"

"What does the matter of Beixiongguan have to do with Marquis Yingwu?"

"Yes, Brother Li. The Marquis Yingwu is very famous in Kyoto Prefecture and has done several great things. But I don't believe that he can influence the demons outside Beixiong Pass."

"No, no, that Yingwu Marquis Chen... Chen Yi?!"

A Confucian scholar in a pure white robe was about to refute, but his gaze suddenly stopped when he looked at Chen Taiping. He stared at the door of Xia Mansion in amazement - he saw a young man also wearing the purple robe of Wu Hou!

"Chen Yi?"

Everyone who noticed his expression looked in the direction of the voice and saw the same heroic young man. They saw him walk up to Marquis Wu'an with a smile on his face and bow to him.

"Father……"

"Father?!"

Hearing this name and thinking of Marquis Wu'an's three sons, everyone immediately confirmed it.

"That person must be Chen Yi, Marquis of Yingwu!"

"He, why did he appear in Heiling County?!"

"Could it be that the news from Kyoto Prefecture is true, and the incident outside Beixiong Pass was caused by Marquis Yingwu?"

"sky……"

Not many people in Heiling County knew about Chen Yi's visit to the Xia Mansion in Heiling County yesterday, at the instruction of Xia Qinghai. Only those who were related to the Xia family by marriage or blood knew about it.

Otherwise, the county government, the night watch and others might come to pay their respects to Marquis Yingwu.

At this moment, everyone in Heiling County who saw the scene outside the Xia family's gate, especially those martial artists who roamed in northern Zhili, were suddenly stunned. They looked at Chen Yi with some respect in their eyes.

The shadow of a famous tree.

Even though they despised the military marquises and nobles in the court, they respected Chen Yi who came from the Taixu Taoist Sect.

Especially when the martial artists rescued by Chen Yi from the Nanman Secret Territory spread their experiences, "Little Sword Immortal" Chen Yi became a well-known figure in the Wei Dynasty's martial arts world.

"It's just as the rumors say, full of heroic spirit and amazing cultivation..."

"If I have the chance one day, I will definitely go to the sacred place of swordsmanship in Kyoto Prefecture to see the divine power of Yingwu Hou's swordsmanship!"

Not to mention the discussions of the people in Heiling County, after learning that Wu'an Marquis Chen Taiping had returned, Xia Qinghai and others immediately went out to greet him. Chen Yi naturally followed Xia Wanwan to the gate of Xia's mansion.

"My dear father-in-law, please don't be so polite. Please go back home first."

Chen Taiping greeted Xia Fu and others, and then his eyes were all on Chen Yi.

"Yier, you've grown taller and older."

Today, Chen Yi has a tall and straight figure, plump and fair cheeks, and his thick long hair is neatly combed. With the contrast of the purple robe of Wu Hou, he is indeed extraordinary and heroic.

Speaking of which, Chen Taiping hasn't seen Chen Yi for fifteen years. The last time he saw Chen Yi was when he went north to guard the border.

It was also on that day that the Emperor of Wei held Chen Yi in his arms and stood on the city gate tower to announce preferential treatment for the border guards of the Wei Dynasty.

Fifteen years passed in a flash, and it was the first time Chen Taiping saw his second son again. He was inevitably a little dazed.

Chen Yi didn't think too much about it, he bowed and said, "Father."

He knew Chen Taiping's character since he was a child. His every word and action were military style, and he didn't care about red tape.

"Okay, very good." Chen Taiping smiled, patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, and gestured for him to go into the mansion.

Chen Yi followed suit and followed behind Chen Taiping.

"Husband, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Yi'er just said that she would wait for you to come back before having breakfast together..." Xia Wanwan looked at the father and son and smiled.

However, Xia Qinghai and others did not follow them. Instead, they greeted relatives and friends who came to visit from outside the house with their two sons.

Because of Chen Yi's visit, the Xia family's doorstep was almost broken down by people. Now that Chen Taiping has returned, even more people have come.

"The Chen family in Jingdu Prefecture has three...two Wuhous, and now they have all gone to Northern Zhili...Brother Qinghai, this is all thanks to you for giving birth to a good daughter."

It was not difficult for Xia Qinghai to hear the sour tone in the words, but he did not dwell on it. Instead, he said with a smile on his face:
"My dear brother, you came at an inopportune time. We have distinguished guests at home, so I won't keep you any longer."

The visitor cursed inwardly and nodded with a forced smile: "I understand... I'll visit you again later..."

There were also nobles and aristocratic families from Heiling County who rushed there after hearing the news.

Unlike some of the Xia family's relatives who were short-sighted, these nobles and people from aristocratic families had clear minds. When they couldn't see Chen Taiping and Chen Yi, they all made friends with Xia Qinghai.

After all, they were just small nobles in Northern Zhili, and they could not reach the level of the Chen family in Kyoto Prefecture.

"Brother Qinghai, we need to move around more often in the future."

"The county lord is joking..."

The commotion outside the Xia Mansion did not affect those inside the Mansion.

In the main hall of the central courtyard, the other members of the Xia family dispersed.

Even Luluo, Chen Yi's wet nurse and Xia Wanwan's personal maid, stayed outside the door with two Wu'an army guards, leaving the main hall to Chen Taiping, Chen Yi and Xia Wanwan.

But soon, Xia Wanwan pushed the door open with a smile on her face and closed it gently.

"Madam, the master and the young master..." Luoluo carefully poked her head out.

Xia Wanwan waved to the people outside the door to signal them to be quiet, then walked away with Luoluo. She was smiling and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.

Luoluo looked back and saw that the two Wu'an Army guards stood taller, and she couldn't help but think of Chen Yi.

"The old master and the young master haven't seen each other for so many years. They must have a lot to talk about. And the young master... he has suffered so much outside..."

"Yes," Xia Wanwan said with a slightly less smiling face.
"If I had not asked him to join the Taixu Dao Sect, but instead sent him to the Kyoto Academy, perhaps he would have achieved what he has today."

Over the years, as Chen Yi's reputation grew, and Xia Wanwan was taken care of by the Wei court and the old lady of the Chen family, the more she wanted, the greater the danger Chen Yi would face.

Whenever she thought of how difficult it was for Chen Yi to practice outside, she couldn't eat or sleep well. "Madam, why did you come out?" Luluo asked with a smile, "It's rare for you to reunite with the master and the young master."

"Let them talk." Xia Wanwan said with a slight sigh:
"Yier's current status and cultivation are no longer what they used to be. I can see that my husband is also a little reserved."

"cautious?"

"Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time, or maybe it's because my husband..." Xia Wanwan smiled:

"My husband and Yi'er are both current martial arts marquises, but Yi'er's cultivation is much stronger than his."

Green Rose blinked her eyes and suddenly said, "Master and Young Master are also going to compete with each other?"

"Who knows..."

The fact was exactly as Xia Wanwan had thought. In the hall, Chen Taiping no longer felt the joy he had when he first met Chen Yi.

At this moment, he and Chen Yi were sitting face to face. No matter in terms of cultivation, appearance, age, etc., he was inferior to Chen Yi. The only thing that made him confident was his identity as a "father".

"Hey, Yi'er, Taishan Hou said earlier that you went to the Shiwandashan Mountains?"

"Yes, I made some discoveries in Kyoto Prefecture before..." Chen Yi was not restrained at all. He treated Chen Taiping with the etiquette of father and son.

Although he is not as close to Xia Wanwan as he is to her, Chen Yi will not reveal his identity as a martial marquis or his cultivation level.

Afterwards, Chen Yi told everything he had found out about "Ji Jing Tian" and the Zhou family.

bump!
Chen Taiping didn't care about anything else. As Chen Yi spoke, his face became uglier and uglier.

Previously, he only found out that Zhou Tiance was secretly targeting the Chen family, and he also knew that Zhou Tiance controlled the secret guards. However, in order not to attract the attention of Emperor Wei, he had been forbearing and did not speak out. However, he did not expect...

"I didn't expect that Zhou Guanwu not only survived, but also became the 'husband' of the Fengyue Demon Emperor. He is worse than a beast!"

Chen Taiping said angrily: "And that old man Zhou, it turns out he has been planning to seize the bloodline of my Chen family!"

"Zhou Guanwu's cruel temper and his murder of Zhou family bloodline is Zhou family's family affair. What does it have to do with my Chen family?"

"Zhou Guanwu and old man Zhou are really going too far!"

Chen Yi knew what Chen Taiping was thinking, and nodded, "Now that Zhou Guanwu died in the Shiwan Mountains, he is no longer a concern. But Zhou Tiance..."

He did not tell the "general" about his resurrection that day.

He knew very well that as the Marquis of Wei Dynasty, Chen Taiping could not go to Taizhou Mountain. Instead of telling the truth and causing unrest for the Chen family, it would be better for him to go to Taizhou Mountain and deal with Zhou Guanwu.

Therefore, Chen Yi only needs to deal with Zhou Tiance.

"I wonder what my father is going to do?"

After all, Zhou Tiance is Zhou Wanyi's grandfather and Chen Taiping's elder.

If Chen Taiping is unwilling to take action, Chen Yi doesn't mind settling the feud with Zhou Tiance in his own way.

"I will report this to His Majesty later. Please investigate the Zhou family thoroughly, including Zhou Tiance and 'Qianlong'!"

As he spoke, Chen Taiping looked at Chen Yi, his expression softened and he continued:

"Yier, I know you've suffered a lot of injustices over the years, and I also know that Zhou Tiance has secretly attacked you several times, but I hope you won't ruin your reputation because of someone like Zhou Tiance."

He has been the Marquis of Wu'an for many years and has his own way of dealing with many things in the court. He also knows clearly what situations he will encounter if he wants to investigate the Zhou family.

He knew very well that even if the Zhou family was full of evil, if they wanted to bring down the Wuhou family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, nothing would be left out.

The first thing to be affected is that the King of Zhenbei must have military marquises and soldiers who can replace the Zhou family in guarding the border. It should be noted that this is the first time since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, and it is likely to attract conspiracy from civil officials.

By that time, even if the Chen family was secretly targeted by the Zhou family, they might not have a say in this matter.

"Father," Chen Yi smiled and shook his head, "I don't care about those false names."

With his current level of cultivation, it might be a bit arrogant to say that he can dominate the Tianyuan Continent, but if it is only within the territory of the Wei Dynasty, he doesn't have to consider anything else.

Even if one counts Emperor Wei, Nine Thousand Year Old Man, Taoist Priest Huangshan, and even powerful people from the Taoist sect, holy academies, and other places, to put it bluntly, the people who should be considered are them, not him—Chen Yi!
"Yier, you..." Chen Taiping paused and said seriously, "Are you ready to go to Taizhou Mountain?"

Chen Yi did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "The current situation on Tianyuan Continent seems to be that the Demon Court is hostile to the Wei Dynasty, the Buddhist Kingdom, and the Southern Barbarians, but in fact the source of the war is still on Mount Taizhou."

"In the final analysis, it is because the human race is at a disadvantage in Taizhou Mountain, which is why many cultivators in the Wei Dynasty are afraid to go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the north."

The reason why they were in a passive position in the war against the demons was that the powerful humans on Mount Taizhou were unable to suppress the demon court.

Not only Chen Yi knows this, many powerful people know it well, even some realms in Taizhou Mountain know it.

"I went to the Demon Court this time and I know their strength very well. If it weren't for the intervention of 'Ji Jing Tian', the Wind Moon Demon King would have led his army south again."

Chen Yi looked calm, but said in a serious tone: "After the event is over, I will set off for Taizhou Mountain!"

Chen Taiping frowned. He knew that what Chen Yi said was true, but going to Taizhou Mountain so early...

"Have you already thought about it?"

"Yes!"

"So you plan to cut the Gordian knot and resolve the Tianyuan Continent issue as soon as possible?"

"Yes!"

Chen Taiping took a deep breath, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "In this case, I will not persuade you anymore, just go ahead and do it, I and the Chen family will take care of everything!"

Their Chen family has gone through thousands of years and has experienced all kinds of storms, but they have never had a genius with extraordinary supernatural powers like Chen Yi.

If Chen Yi succeeds, the reputation of their Chen family will be further enhanced. If he fails... it will just be a loss of face.

"Thank you, father." Chen Yi looked at the table full of delicious food and asked, "Well, can I have breakfast now?"

Chen Taiping laughed in silence and said, "I rushed back as fast as I could and I'm already hungry..."

Seeing this, Chen Yi took out the Qingquan wine from his Xumi bag and asked, "Would you like to drink some?"

Chen Taiping nodded hesitantly: "I have to return to the barracks later, so I can't drink too much."

But after he drank a glass, his eyes lit up instantly, "Your wine..."

"A gift from a senior can strengthen the physical body." Chen Yi replied with a smile:

"There are some other treasures as well. I have given them to my mother. My father can dispose of them as he pleases later."

Strengthen your physical body?

Chen Taiping felt it for a moment, and couldn't help but sighed: "Yier, when you first became a disciple of Taixu Dao Sect, your father never thought of this day... You have suffered over the years."

Chen Yi smiled and said nothing.

He has indeed gone through some hardships, but in most cases, he made others suffer, and more people will suffer at his hands in the future.

A moment of silence.

Chen Taiping looked at the wine jar on the table and said in a muffled voice, "Yier, how about pouring another glass?"

"it is good……"
