Chapter 523: Chapter 220: 3 Sins! (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

He gestured for Lin Jixin to wait outside while inviting Chen Yi to sit and talk.

"I have not summoned you today because of what you did at the Zhou Family, but because the Holy Emperor urgently consulted with me last night about the defense against the southward advance of the Demon Court."

"Defense?"

Chen Yi glanced at him, feeling a slight movement inside, as Sword Intent spread within him, reaching two thousand miles away in an instant.

Vaguely, he could sense the presence of three small wooden swords in the northeast direction.

At the same time, a faint voice reached his ears.

"Husband, I... I want to return to Kyoto Prefecture..."

"Wan Wan, didn’t I say that once Yi Er’s grand event concludes, we will let him come to Beizhi, and you and I will see him then."

"But... but I’m worried Yi Er will be bullied in Kyoto Prefecture. Husband, you should know that these past days, the Great Demon Kings, and even Wuliang Mountain, have bullied Yi Er..."

"Bullied him?"

A somewhat helpless yet energetic voice consoled, "Wan Wan, it’s a relief our precious son doesn’t bully others; who would dare to bully him?"

"Late last night, the Holy Emperor sent a letter, urging me not only to make all preparations to prevent the southward advance of the Demon Court but also emphasizing that I find time to ’educate’ Yi Er."

"Educate?"

"Yes, just yesterday, during the Zhou Family’s celebration of Yuan Er’s succession as Duke Jingye, Yi Er caused a great uproar, injuring the Old Marquis Zhou, the Assistant Minister of Rites, and even the University Scholar of Kyoto Academy... The Holy Emperor was so angered he smashed a cup..."

"What? Did... did something happen to Yi Er?"

"How could nothing happen? The Holy Emperor, in the end, rewarded him with a precious sword."

"Husband, you... you..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi suddenly understood the reason behind Lin Hansong’s earlier words.

It must have been the letter he sent with Sun Zhengqiu to Beizhi that has already been received by Chen Taiping.

"Yi Er, the Holy Emperor initially stationed your father in Beizhi to prevent situations like that at the South-Garrison Pass."

"But now, it seems this arrangement is still not secure!"

At this moment, Lin Hansong spoke with a grave expression:

"According to the letter from Marquis Taishan, at dawn yesterday, there were sightings of Great Demons prowling the Ten Thousand Mountains, seemingly scouting the troop numbers at Beixiong Pass."

"Also, yesterday close to nightfall, Great Demons appeared outside Beixiong Pass."

"The scholars from Kyoto Academy have deduced that it’s likely due to your slaying of the pillar-level Great Demon King ’Black Impermanence,’ which provoked the Fengyue Demon Emperor!"

Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Uncle, what do you need me to do?"

The southward advance of the Demon Court is inevitable; even if he hadn’t slain the Black Bone Demon King Liao Ai, the Fengyue Demon Emperor already had all plans in place.

Therefore, he wondered what the court’s discussion had to do with him, perhaps they were considering having him lead troops north?

Lin Hansong said, "I merely wish to inform you that the court’s situation is currently turbulent; be cautious in everything you do to avoid being exploited."

Chen Yi slightly frowned, "Has someone in the court advised the Holy Emperor against me?"

Lin Hansong paused and nodded, "Although not many, there are indeed officials who have submitted memorials to the Holy Emperor, listing three charges against you."

"Three charges?" Chen Yi chuckled to himself, "I wonder which three charges they listed?"

Lin Hansong said helplessly, "The first is the battle at the South-Garrison Pass, claiming you killed too many of the Barbarian Clan, damaging our alliance with them."

"The second is your coercion of Wuliang Mountain to seal itself for a hundred years, which reportedly has caused some Taoists in the Martial World to stir up trouble, intending to give you a hard time."

Chen Yi’s gaze turned slightly cold; the matter of Wuliang Mountain, though confined to the Martial World, has even been brought to the court for criticism.

That person could very well be under the control of the ’Eagle’!

"And the last charge is that you act lawlessly, defying principles, for striking the Old Marquis Zhou and ordering several noble families to kneel outside the Chen Residence."

At this, Lin Hansong looked directly at him, earnestly advising:

"Yi Er, now that you are the Heroic Marquis, you can’t act recklessly as before."

"If you really can’t bear the anger, you could use some means to avoid public criticism."

Chen Yi slightly nodded and continued to ask, "How has the Holy Emperor responded to this matter?"

Lin Hansong showed a slight smile and said, "The Holy Emperor directly had that person executed by dismemberment."

"..."

Chen Yi shook his head internally, wondering if this supreme ruler truly intended to make him the number one target of the entire land.

He could foresee that all subsequent advisors would be put to death, and as long as he accomplished something, he would undoubtedly receive rewards.

Only in this way can he truly be a target—totally disrupting the balance within and outside the court!

"Uncle, I have noted it down."

Lin Hansong smiled and nodded, catching a glimpse of a figure outside the door, his smile instantly faded as he coughed:

"There is also a private matter..."

"Please speak, Uncle."

"Well, this, you and Xueru have been engaged for some years, um, how do you feel about it?"

Lin Hansong’s old face flushed as he asked stiffly.

It’s all well and good for Duke Xing to handle court affairs, but asking about his daughter’s marriage just...is beneath his dignity.

If it weren’t for Zhu Yu’s repeated urging in the morning, he wouldn’t even agree.

Chen Yi was momentarily stunned, glancing at the three figures squatting by the door, he immediately understood.

Especially the little girl’s figure pressed against the window paper, which almost made him laugh aloud.

But Lin Hansong’s words reminded him indeed he should account for the little girl.

It’s just...

After pondering for a moment, Chen Yi said: "Uncle, naturally there is no problem with my engagement with Xueru, the matter of marriage will be decided by the Lin and Chen families."

"How about after the grand gathering, I take Xueru to Beizhi, what do you think?"

"Alright!"

Before Lin Hansong could respond, Zhu Yu who was eavesdropping outside the door directly appeared, smilingly said:

"Brother Yi is truly considerate, unlike you, Master, worrying about this and that, it’s all pointless anxiety."

"..."

Lin Hansong opened his mouth, almost infuriated by Zhu Yu’s words.

Obviously, it’s her who has been pointlessly worrying. In the end, it’s him who’s being blamed.

"Let’s not talk about these, it’s not easy for Brother Yi to come once, hasn’t had breakfast yet? Come along, filling the stomach is more important than anything..."

Chen Yi was dragged out of the study by Zhu Yu, seeing Lin Xueru at the door with her bashful expression, he couldn’t help but wink at her mischievously.

The little girl immediately lowered her head, her face blushing so red it extended to behind her ears, even her fair neck was a rosy hue.

"Brother Yi, what you said earlier...is it about getting married after the grand gathering?"

...

Nearing noon, Chen Yi finally returned to Duke Wu An Mansion from Duke Xing’s Mansion, and at a glance saw a crowd of aristocrats kneeling outside the door.

"Heroic Marquis is back!"

"At last, the Marquis is back. I’ve been waiting here for half a day, just wanting to see how he handles these aristocrats!"

"Hmph! These people have long been tyrannizing Kyoto Prefecture and now someone is finally putting them in their place!"

"..."

The place where Elder Tong and others kneeled was surrounded by onlookers, mostly citizens of Kyoto Prefecture.

And at Duke Wu An Mansion’s entrance, Chen Taixing brought several guards and pharmacists waiting, seeing Chen Yi appear, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yi...Marquis, you are finally back."

"Uncle, please don’t address your nephew like that, or father will punish me."

Chen Yi smiled, then looked towards Elder Tong and others kneeling outside the mansion entrance, his smile gradually diminished. freewebnøvel.com

"Are they the elders of the families who humiliated Chen Fan at Kyoto Academy yesterday?"

Chen Taixing helplessly said: "Only three families are, the others came to apologize specifically for spreading rumors."

"Rumors?" Chen Yi looked enlightened, "no wonder there are so many people here."

Chen Taixing looked at his expression, then glanced at the crowd of aristocrats eyeing them eagerly.

Especially a few old men past their prime without much cultivation, currently all hunched over and kneeling, seemingly unable to keep it up.

"Marquis...Yi, Yi Er, what do you think should be done now?"

Chen Yi swept his gaze around, inwardly sneering, did these cunning folks really think apologizing would get them off the hook?

"Except for those three families, send the others back."

It would be better to have them under the "demon girl’s’’ control when they return, so they won’t trouble him later!
