Chapter 621 Keeping in the Dark
“I will definitely think carefully about your suggestion. My most important task right now is for us to join forces and kill Wei Zhongxian. That way, even if I leave this unstable city, I will be happier.”
Chen Er nodded in deep agreement, understanding that this choice was actually quite difficult for Zhang Tianfei.
After all, Zhang Tianfei had no friends left in the city, otherwise he wouldn't have been idly asking Chen Er to come to the tavern for drinks today.
However, Chen Er was still quite grateful to Zhang Tianfei. If Zhang Tianfei hadn't told him about Wei Zhongxian's conspiracy in advance, Chen Er might still be in the dark about Wei Zhongxian's scheme.
Then we'll have to think carefully about how to deal with Wei Zhongxian. "Chen Er, that's enough for now. I'll leave now. If I have any news about Wei Zhongxian, I'll let you know immediately."
Zhang Tianfei smiled indifferently, turned around and left, leaving Chen Er alone in a daze. However, Chen Er understood that he had to find several powerful figures to protect the emperor closely.
This way, everything would be foolproof. Chen Er didn't want the tragedy of the past to repeat itself if the emperor was really killed by the assassins sent by Wei Zhongxian.
So who would benefit most after the emperor's death? Of course, it would be Wei Zhongxian. As for the empress dowager, she probably wouldn't have an easy time either. How would Wei Zhongxian deal with the empress dowager then?
Thinking of this, Chen Er didn't dare to delay. He went straight back to his residence. At this moment, in Chen Er's study, Zheng Yuqing and Pang Huaiyi were sitting on the floor.
For martial arts practitioners, sitting cross-legged on the ground is more comfortable than sitting on a table. Zheng Yuqing smiled at Chen Er.
"Lord Chen Er, what is the reason that you didn't come to see me today? Don't tell me that I can't assassinate Wei Zhongxian yet?" Zheng Yuqing asked, puzzled.
Chen Er broke out in a sweat. He never expected that this young girl would be so angry and want to kill Wei Zhongxian.
Moreover, if Chen Er hadn't instructed Pang Huaiyi to stay closely by Zheng Yuqing's side, who knows what crazy things this pretty young girl might have done.
"You absolutely cannot assassinate Wei Zhongxian, because I have another important task for the two of you to handle together."
Chen Er's words left Zheng Yuqing and Pang Huaiyi somewhat bewildered. As martial arts masters, they could stay by Chen Er's side and help him share some of his burdens—something many people dream of.
Because both of them were very famous in the martial arts world, no force could completely control them and bring them into their own family.
Therefore, it can be seen that Chen Er has now received help from two people, and it is not impossible for him to achieve something in the future.
So the two men trusted Chen Er completely: "Chen Er, tell us what we should do? You won't let me assassinate Wei Zhongxian, do you have another task for us?"
Zheng Yuqing spoke first. Although she was a quirky girl, she lost all interest in joking when she saw Chen Er's serious expression.
Chen Er nodded: "That's right. According to the latest reliable information I've received, someone is planning to make a move against the Emperor. I hope the two of you can protect the Emperor secretly."
After saying this, Chen Er looked at Zheng Yuqing with a mischievous grin.
"As for you being a girl, you can be chosen as one of the Emperor's new concubines to accompany him, thus protecting him."
After Chen Er finished speaking, he was kicked by Zheng Yuqing. Zheng Yuqing was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her delicate face full of anger.
"Chen Er, what do you take me for? I can protect the emperor, but to think of me as one of the emperor's concubines, someone who can be by his side, is something else entirely. You should just die."
After Zheng Yuqing finished speaking angrily, she turned and left, leaving Chen Er alone in a daze.
Not knowing which sentence he had said wrong that had made Zheng Yuqing so angry, Pang Huaiyi immediately chuckled strangely.
"Chen Er, I admit you're a good person, but you're still a bit lacking when it comes to matters of the heart. Haven't you noticed that Zheng Yuqing treats you differently from other men?"
Pang Huaiyi spoke with confidence, which startled Chen Er, who pointed incredulously at his handsome face.
"What exactly do you mean? Are you saying that Zheng Yuqing has feelings for me?"
Chen Er's voice trembled slightly because he believed that any girl who liked him had never had a good ending. Now that he had Qin Luoshen, he couldn't muster any interest in any other girl.
Upon hearing Chen Er's words, Pang Huaiyi grinned and said, "That's right. Anyone who isn't an idiot can see it clearly. Zheng Yuqing has feelings for you, but you already have Qin Luoshen by your side."
However, you have a certain charm that attracts young girls. You should be careful; you should know what Zheng Yuqing is like.
After Pang Huaiyi finished speaking, he laughed and left, leaving Chen Er alone wiping the sweat from his forehead. He must not let Qin Luoshen know about this, or things would get really bad.
Zheng Yuqing was already angry, so the task of secretly protecting the Emperor will be temporarily handed over to Pang Huaiyi. Chen Er knows how skilled Pang Huaiyi is.
As long as Pang Huaiyi is around, it will be absolutely impossible for Wei Zhongxian's men to kill the emperor. However, Chen Er is a little worried. He will stay by the emperor's side as long as he is safe, so that he can protect the emperor.
When it was time for him to go to bed at night, several more damned eunuchs came, and they looked at Chen Er respectfully.
"Lord Chen Er, the Emperor has invited you. Please don't make things difficult for us servants. If you don't go, things will get complicated for us."
One by one, the older servants knelt on the ground, constantly urinating Chen Er. Chen Er was extremely annoyed. Every time it was time to sleep, Qin Luoshen would be waiting for him, but now the Emperor wanted to see him again.
"What trouble is it?" Just as Chen Er was about to get angry, a girl's gentle voice came from inside the room.
"Chen Er, you should go and take a look. The Emperor has summoned you so late, he must have something to tell you. Don't cause yourself any unnecessary trouble."
