Chapter 620 The fox pretends to be the tiger's power
Because it was left to him by Zhang Xingchen, Chen Er was determined to help Zhang Xingchen realize his unfulfilled dream. Chen Er left with Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong.
Fang Dashan unconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead and was surprised to find that his clothes seemed to be soaked with sweat.
"That scoundrel, always relying on others to intimidate me, he'll never fall into my hands again," Fang Dashan said indignantly. A sycophantic guard immediately seized the opportunity.
"Boss, why don't we find a few people and secretly kill him? That way you'll be the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
No sooner had the man finished speaking than Fang Dashan slapped him across the face, sending him flying.
"You're delusional. Chen Er's methods are so sophisticated, and who here can defeat him? They're just asking for trouble."
Chen Er was now in high spirits, having finally fulfilled his wish. It would be much better if Chen Er could integrate all the Imperial Guards together. Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the street corner.
This was Zhang Tianfei, whom we hadn't seen in a long time. At this moment, Zhang Tianfei had an indifferent expression as he walked towards Chen Er.
Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong stood beside Chen Er as if facing a formidable enemy. Chen Er waved his hand.
“He’s my friend, after all. He couldn’t be so stupid as to attack me in the street, could he?” Chen Er said this to Zhang Tianfei, who simply nodded indifferently.
"Chen Er, do you have time? I'd like to invite you to the tavern for a drink." As an assassin, Zhang Tianfei exuded an arrogance that seemed to emanate from his very bones, and he also gave off an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Chen Er nodded and gestured for them to proceed. Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong then took the opportunity to head towards the brothel.
Chen Er and Zhang Tianfei randomly found a small tavern and started drinking. "Zhang Tianfei, you must have come to me about Wei Zhongxian. If you need anything, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse."
Chen Er's words made Zhang Tianfei give a helpless, bitter smile.
"Wei Zhongxian is the person I hate most in my life. I will do anything to take his head off. I will never let this great villain live." Zhang Tianfei said again after saying this.
"Did you know that Wei Zhongxian seems to be plotting something to target the Emperor? I hope you can remind the Emperor to be careful."
Upon hearing Zhang Tianfei's words, Chen Er was slightly bewildered. Although Chen Er now knew that Zhang Tianfei and Wei Zhongxian were irreconcilable enemies, he was still somewhat confused.
But why would Zhang Tianfei tell him this news? Moreover, Zhang Tianfei has been away from Wei Zhongxian for so long, how could Zhang Tianfei know that Wei Zhongxian is plotting a conspiracy? Chen Er revealed a different expression.
“Zhang Tianfei, what era are we living in? You and Wei Zhongxian are in cahoots, trying to set a trap for me. Don’t think I don’t know.”
Chen Er said that on purpose, wanting to see if Zhang Tianfei would be nervous, but Zhang Tianfei's performance was too natural.
Zhang Tianfei showed no fear of being exposed: "Chen Er, whether you believe it or not, Wei Zhongxian has my spies around him. One of them is a good friend I've known since childhood, and he's still helping Wei Zhongxian with his affairs."
"If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Wei Zhongxian's ambitions were so great." Chen Er asked instinctively after hearing Zhang Tianfei's words.
"What exactly is this scheme you're talking about? Are you planning to kidnap the Emperor?" Chen Er asked jokingly, but when he saw Zhang Tianfei, he nodded very seriously.
"That's right, I've received information that Wei Zhongxian is going to send assassins to kill the Emperor again, and all of them are highly skilled."
Upon hearing Wei Zhongxian's words, Chen Er's brows furrowed involuntarily. Wei Zhongxian was incredibly audacious; several years ago, he had sent someone to commit suicide against the emperor.
Moreover, there's Zhang Tianfei right in front of us. Now, Wei Zhongxian is unwilling to accept defeat and wants to assassinate the emperor a second time. If the emperor had real power the first time...
Then Wei Zhongxian wouldn't be alive today. It's just a pity that the emperor is a paper tiger, and only now is he slowly, slowly, taking control of the power.
Chen Er took a deep breath: "I understand. Thank you for reminding me. If we can kill Wei Zhongxian this time, I will definitely ask the Emperor to reward you handsomely."
Chen Er said very seriously, and Zhang Tianfei smiled bitterly.
Zhang Tianfei didn't believe the Emperor would let him off the hook. Just because Zhang Tianfei had almost killed the Emperor a few years ago, even if the Emperor didn't hold a grudge, he would definitely not grant him any additional titles.
I am an assassin. After I finish what I'm doing, I want to travel the world. I don't want to continue living this aimless life anymore. I just want to be an ordinary citizen.
"Zhang Tianfei spoke his mind, and now he truly considers Chen Er a good friend."
Upon hearing Zhang Tianfei's words, Chen Er's brows furrowed involuntarily once again.
"Zhang Tianfei, you have such great skills. If you leave quietly like this, have you ever thought about the loss this would be for the Ming Dynasty?"
"Besides, you haven't even helped anyone avenge themselves, how can you leave like this? That's absolutely not what a real man does." Chen Er was, of course, referring to the deceased Yang Xiaomei.
This girl was killed by Wei Zhongxian himself, so Zhang Tianfei should help Yang Xiaomei avenge her. When Zhang Tianfei heard Chen Er's words, he actually gave Chen Er a thumbs up.
"Lord Chen Er, sometimes I have to admire you. You have a firm grasp on everything and don't give the enemy a chance to breathe."
Although Yang Xiaomei was killed by Wei Zhongxian, who then ordered his men to parade her body through the streets? Zhang Tianfei's words made Chen Er very embarrassed.
However, Chen Er had nothing to hide. He had indeed done so last time in order to thoroughly provoke Zhang Tianfei and then deal with Wei Zhongxian. However, that plan had obviously failed. Chen Er brought up the past again.
"Zhang Tianfei, why don't you think it through and stay by my side? I promise I won't treat you badly once I've calmed things down."
Chen Er spoke quite seriously, and Zhang Tianfei thoughtfully patted his head.
