The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 611 Overjoyed

"Chen Er, where are you going? Release the Empress Dowager immediately!" Wei Zhongxian almost didn't recognize the Empress Dowager the moment he saw her.

The once high and mighty Empress Dowager is now skin and bones, with her hair disheveled and dressed in a palace maid's clothes. She has lost all the elegance that once belonged to an Empress Dowager.

When the Empress Dowager saw Wei Zhongxian, she burst into tears: "Little Wei, come and save me! I don't want to leave with Chen Er. Chen Er wants to kill me."

The Empress Dowager's voice trembled slightly, and Wei Zhongxian was furious when he heard her say that.

Wei Zhongxian knew that if he held onto the Empress Dowager firmly, the Emperor wouldn't dare to do anything to him. But if he lost the Empress Dowager's protection...

Even with so many guards, the Emperor has already eliminated Zhang Xingchen, and Chen Er has also gained the Jinyiwei.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian had no confidence that he could get past the emperor, so he became a little anxious.

"Chen Er, did you hear me? Release the Empress Dowager right now, or I'll fight you to the death today!" Wei Zhongxian said, rolling up his sleeves and assuming a fighting stance.

Chen Er laughed, but in truth, he was very puzzled. Why was he discovered by Wei Zhongxian as soon as he brought the Empress Dowager out? There was something fishy about that.

In fact, Chen Er was unaware that Wei Zhongxian had been searching for the Empress Dowager's whereabouts for the past two weeks. Wei Zhongxian believed that even if the Empress Dowager was ill and did not want to see him, it was still possible.

So he could go in at midnight, but last night, Wei Zhongxian couldn't restrain himself and broke into the Empress's resting place at night, only to find the bed empty.

This time, Wei Zhongxian brought his men, intending to confront the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed to run into Chen Er, who was with the Empress Dowager. Chen Er sighed, feeling that Wei Zhongxian's arrival was truly ill-timed.

“Wei Zhongxian, this is the Emperor’s order. I hope you will not interfere. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the blame from the Emperor.”

Chen Er understood that his current official position was not yet sufficient to have a fair conversation with Wei Zhongxian. It would be better to bring up the Emperor first and give Wei Zhongxian a good whack on the head, before Wei Zhongxian could even open his mouth.

One of Wei Zhongxian's lackeys brazenly shouted, "Chen Er, why don't you kneel down when you see our Lord Wei Zhongxian? Have you been away for so long?"

Have they all forgotten the rules of the court? These people didn't know that after the emperor eliminated Zhang Xingchen, he handed over all of Zhang Xingchen's former Imperial Guards to Chen Er to manage.

Therefore, the current Chen Er is not the same as the Chen Er of the past. The current Chen Er holds the power of life and death over the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In the past, Chen Er would have definitely swallowed his anger.

Now things are different. Chen Er walked right up to the lackey, which terrified him.

"Chen Er, what are you doing? Don't tell me you dare touch me in front of Wei Zhengxian." Before the lackey finished speaking, Chen Er raised his hand and slapped the guy.

Chen Er used a lot of force at the time, and directly sent the lackey flying a long distance. He landed on the ground like a dead dog, barely alive and motionless.

No one expected Chen Er to be so audacious, daring to strike someone in front of Wei Zhongxian, and with such force. Only then did Chen Er look at the people around Wei Zhongxian.

"Anyone who's still not convinced, step forward right now! Today I want to see who dares to look down on others!" Chen Er's words were clearly a veiled insult.

In other words, if Wei Zhongxian is not convinced, Chen Er will teach Wei Zhongxian a lesson. These lackeys have also realized that although Chen Er is arrogant, he has the capital to be arrogant.

So they all remained silent, waiting for Wei Zhongxian to get angry. They knew that Wei Zhongxian was capable of anything when he was angry.

Even the Empress Dowager was wary of Wei Zhongxian, let alone the damned Chen Er. Wei Zhongxian gritted his teeth, his eyes red, and looked Chen Er up and down a few more times.

"Chen Er, I'll ask you one last time: are you willing to release the Empress Dowager? If you remain obstinate, then I'll be ashamed and won't be polite to you." Wei Zhengxian's words left Chen Er feeling helpless.

"Wei Zhongxian, aren't you being a bit nosy and meddling in other people's business? This is an order from the Emperor. I'm just following the rules. Please don't make things difficult for me, Lord Wei Zhongxian."

"Otherwise, if you make me suffer, I'll make you suffer too." After Chen Er finished speaking, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong couldn't wait any longer and stood in front of Chen Er.

The two men's attitudes were very clear: if Wei Zhongxian dared to do anything to Chen Er, they would make sure Wei Zhongxian knew the consequences. Wei Zhongxian nodded.

"Chen Er, since you refuse to listen to reason and insist on fighting me to the end, then today I will have to experience your martial arts skills."

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, his face darkened. He pounced on Chen Er. As a highly skilled fighter, Wei Zhongxian would never allow Chen Er to act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of him.

Because Chen Er was not qualified, and Wei Zhongxian had brought quite a few people with him this time, the two sides started pushing and shoving each other. Wei Zhongxian seemed to have thought of something, and then smiled and looked at Chen Er and said.

"Chen Er, how about we make a bet? I challenge you. If you are not defeated by me within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, then I will willingly leave with my men."

"If I could beat you to a pulp in the time it takes to burn another incense stick, you would have to release the Empress Dowager. What do you think?" Wei Zhongxian's suggestion puzzled many people. What did Wei Zhongxian mean?

Because many people don't know that Wei Zhongxian was also a very skilled martial artist, Chen Er nodded, thinking that Wei Zhongxian's suggestion was quite good.

Chen Er did not want to fight too fiercely with Wei Zhongxian for the sake of an empress dowager who was about to be buried. When Wei Zhongxian saw that Chen Er had actually nodded in agreement, a cold smile appeared on Wei Zhengxia's lips.

Wei Zhongxian's biggest fear now is that Chen Er will disagree, otherwise he will have no way to use his strength. But now it's different, Chen Er has actually accepted his challenge.

This made Wei Zhongxian feel much better. However, Chen Er also had a suggestion, and of course, Chen Er would not do a losing deal.
