The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 615: Pandemic

"Old traitor, meeting me today is your downfall. The Ming Dynasty has been in chaos for more than a decade under your rule. Today, let me vent my anger for the people."

Chen Er spoke with utmost seriousness, and the weapon in his hand was thrust towards Wei Zhongxian's neck. Wei Zhongxian's reaction speed was incredibly sharp; just as Chen Er was running towards him, he reacted instantly.

Wei Zhongxian instinctively rolled on the ground. At the same time, he pulled out several darts from his pocket and threw them at Chen Er's position without thinking. Chen Er instinctively used his long weapon to...

He swung the darts in a semi-circle in front of him, but to Chen Er's surprise, these darts seemed to have eyes and pierced his left side.

Chen Er instinctively dodged several steps, but his arm was still accidentally pierced by a dart, the pain feeling as if it came from the depths of his soul.

Chen Er was starting to sweat. Suddenly, Wei Zhongxian's guard pulled out a long knife and walked towards Chen Er with a cold smile.

"Young man, I must admit that your martial arts skills are indeed very impressive. It's just a pity that you've met me today and openly provoked me. So today is your death day."

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, his eyes emitted an eerie light, and he swung the long knife in his hand toward Chen Er's head.

Chen Er instinctively used his long weapon to block, and the weapon in Chen Er's hand accurately pierced Wei Zhongxian's shoulder. At that moment, Wei Zhongxian instinctively tried to back away.

With a little force, Chen Er pinned Wei Zhongxian against a large rock: "Old traitor, you've been lucky to last this long in my hands. Go see God today."

Chen Er said coldly, and at the same time, the long weapon in his hand was about to end Wei Zhengxian's life.

Just then, a large number of archers suddenly ran over from not far away. These archers were all guards brought by Wei Zhongxian, and they all pointed their spears at Chen Er.

When they arrived, Wei Zhongxian had already given instructions that no one should be killed except Chen Er. Wei Zhongxian had been waiting for this for a long time.

If he could defeat Chen Er without any mistakes, he could at least turn the tide. But if he allowed Chen Er to leave safely today, it would be disastrous for Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian had missed another great opportunity, which was not something he wanted to see. Zheng Yuqing reacted the fastest.

As the archers launched a sneak attack on Chen Er, Zheng Yuqing pressed herself against the ground, sliding her body along the surface. A snow-white longsword appeared in her hand.

She aimed for the archers' necks, and Zheng Yuqing was now like a killing machine, relentlessly pushing forward.

Many archers hadn't even fully reacted when they felt a chill on their necks and then lost their lives. After the battle lasted for several minutes, Wei Zhongxian realized he couldn't kill Chen Er that day.

He immediately left with his men. Pang Huaiyi and Zheng Yuqing wanted to give chase, but Chen Er stopped them.

"Forget it, let's not go forward. I'm destined not to kill Wei Zhongxian today. That old bastard brought too many Jianghu people with him. Let's just take it one step at a time."

After Chen Er finished speaking, he left with his men. Chen Er had to go see the Emperor to explain the situation, since the Empress Dowager had already been rescued by Wei Zhongxian.

Upon hearing Chen Er's account, the Emperor nearly suffocated: "Chen Er, what do you suggest we do? The Empress Dowager is now in Wei Zhongxian's hands."

Before long, that old scoundrel will help the Empress Dowager regain her position, and then the stalemate will return to its original state.

The Emperor's words could not conceal his anger towards Wei Zhongxian, but now that things had already happened, the Emperor did not know what to do. Chen Er prostrated himself on the ground and looked at the Emperor very sincerely.

"Your Majesty, it was all my fault for being careless, which allowed that old dog Wei Zhongxian to find an opportunity. Please punish me, Your Majesty." Chen Er spoke earnestly, which made the Emperor both amused and exasperated. The Emperor then helped Chen Er up.

"Chen Er, please don't say that. You are one of my most important generals. Without you, there would be no Emperor today. So, at this point..."

Your most important task is to quickly find every possible way to tame the Embroidered Uniform Guard. That way, if Wei Zhongxian dares to rebel, you can suppress him.” The Emperor said with great satisfaction.

Chen Er's eyes lit up when he heard the Emperor's words: "Your Majesty, you are absolutely right. How come I didn't think of that? Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard is now completely under my control."

However, there are still many people who simply won't listen. Now I'll go and tame them, and make them all obey my commands." After saying this, Chen Er strode away.

When the Emperor saw Chen Er's back, he sighed. At that moment, Zhao Beixing appeared silently from behind the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, you've given all the Embroidered Uniform Guards to Chen Er. Aren't you afraid that Chen Er will become the next Wei Zhongxian? You should know that once a person has power, they can no longer live an ordinary life."

"The will grow weaker and weaker until you completely lose yourself." Upon hearing Zhao Beixing's words, the Emperor's eyes narrowed into slits.

"Lord Zhao Beixing, what makes you say that? Why do you assess Chen Er in this way? According to you, do I only feel at ease if the Embroidered Uniform Guard is under your control?"

The Emperor asked angrily, Zhao Beixing never expected that his words would anger the Emperor so much.

“That’s not what I meant. Actually, Chen Er seems like a good person now, but have you ever thought about who he is? He’s just a commoner. You can’t trust someone like that.”

Zhao Beixing spoke again, and the Emperor laughed instead of getting angry when he heard Zhao Beixing's words.

"Zhao Beixing, you just need to do your job. You have no right to judge other people. I've already arranged for you to be by Wei Zhongxian's side for so long."

"You haven't brought me a single message." The Emperor paused slightly after saying this, and then spoke again.

"So I hope you won't disappoint me again. Go and meet with Wei Zhongxian as soon as possible, find out where the Empress Dowager is now, and come back and tell me the exact location."

The Emperor spoke in a commanding tone. Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Zhao Beixing could only sigh and run out in a flash.
