Chapter 339 Steady Progress
Because if one wanted to rise smoothly in the imperial court, one had to join a certain faction.
With such power as his backing, he could move forward steadily. In other words, if Chen Er did not join a certain force, he would find it extremely difficult to move forward in the court!
Just as everyone was sweating profusely from eating, footsteps suddenly came from the doorway again, much to everyone's surprise.
When Qin Zhongting and Zhao Beixing saw the man, his face turned extremely ugly. It turned out to be Sun Yunhe, one of Wei Zhongxian's traitors.
Neither of them had a good impression of this person, because he was Wei Zhongxian's subordinate.
Whether they were military or civil officials, they had all done bad things that harmed the interests of the common people. As for Sun Yunhe, he was one of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen.
The bad things he did are even more difficult to explain. Last time, many impoverished people were beaten to death by Sun Yunhe.
It was all because Sun Yunhe wanted to obtain a medicinal herb from these impoverished villagers.
Those who did not willingly hand over their possessions were punished with death, and Chen Er also learned of this matter.
However, Chen Er had never met Sun Yunhe before, so he did not know that the person who came was Sun Yunhe, one of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Generals.
So Chen Er looked at Ma Dazhi beside him with a puzzled expression: "Ma Dazhi, do you know who this person is?"
"I don't think this guy is simple. Look at his walking posture, it's very stable, and his temples are bulging. He must be a trained fighter. He's really not simple."
Chen Er lowered his voice and began to speak with Ma Dazhi. In fact, Ma Dazhi had some understanding of Wei Zhongxian's power.
After all, Ma Dazhi had lofty ambitions. Before meeting Chen Er, he vowed to stand out and eventually enter the imperial court.
Although I may not be able to become a high-ranking official who brings glory to my ancestors, I can still help the people by being a bodyguard with a sword!
So, Ma Dazhi wished he could rush up right now and break this bad guy's neck.
Ma Dazhi's expression turned gloomy, and he sighed helplessly.
"Chen Er, this person is Sun Yunhe, one of the five tiger generals by the side of the traitor Wei Zhongxian. This guy's kung fu skills are simply amazing."
"I heard that this young man used to be a practitioner at Shaolin Temple, and his Iron Sand Palm technique was always with him, killing many heroes in the martial arts world."
Chen Er was a little surprised, not expecting that the person in front of him was actually Sun Yunhe. It was his turn to welcome him back.
Chen Er was a little surprised that Wei Zhongxian had sent traitors, but Ma Dazhi beside him explained it again.
"Wei Zhongxian has done too many bad things. You have aroused the fear of many martial arts heroes, and these martial arts heroes..."
“Every time I wanted to find an opportunity to kill Wei Zhongxian and get rid of the traitors in the court, but it was because of Wei Zhongxian that he had five tiger generals by his side.”
"Especially this Sun Yunhe, he's extremely ruthless. Just last month I heard about a chivalrous woman who was actually a girl."
"It fell into Sun Yunhe's hands. I heard that Sun Yunhe's men killed it outside the city wall. It's really disheartening."
Upon hearing Ma Dazhi's words, Chen Er involuntarily crushed the wine cup in his hand. His eyes turned bloodshot. Chen Er still held a certain amount of admiration for chivalrous heroes.
Because these people are very free-spirited, wherever there is injustice, these chivalrous heroes will go there to seek justice for the people.
Now, this young girl actually tried to assassinate Wei Zhongxian and ended up like this. Chen Er was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to powder.
Just then, Sun Yunhe suddenly turned his cold eyes toward Chen Er's position and let out a long howl.
"Chen Er is truly young and promising! This time, I am here on behalf of Lord Wei Zhongxian to congratulate you. Look, Lord Wei Zhongxian has prepared quite a few generous gifts for you."
Sun Yunhe's voice was very hoarse, sounding like the cawing of a crow, and was quite grating.
Behind Sun Yunhe, several burly men carried in several black boxes. Anyone who wasn't a fool would understand what was going on with these boxes.
The contents inside were all gold and silver jewelry; this was a blatant attempt to curry favor with Chen Er. To put it bluntly, Wei Zhongxian was extending an olive branch to Chen Er.
After all, ever since Qin Zhongting wrote a memorial about Chen Er leading a group of men to defeat Tang Gudai and sent it up,
Chen Er's reputation in the court was outstanding, and even the emperor praised him highly. So now Wei Zhongxian has started to have designs on Chen Er.
After all, everyone wants their power to grow rapidly, but Chen Er didn't care about that, treating Sun Yunhe like air.
Chen Er ignored Sun Yunhe, his face contorted in a grimace: "Sorry, I have no interest in traitors and opportunists."
As one of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Generals, when has he ever been treated so unfairly?
To put it bluntly, wherever Sun Yunhe went, as soon as people heard that he was one of Wei Zhongxian's Five Tiger Generals, everyone would bow and scrape.
Now that he's been humiliated in front of the younger generation, how could Sun Yunhe not feel resentful?
If Wei Zhongxian hadn't already given him a long and detailed warning before Sun Yunhe arrived, telling him not to offend Chen Er, Sun Yunhe would have slapped Chen Er across the face right now.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward as the young man dressed him up. At that moment, Qin Zhongting and Zhao Beixing strolled over.
“Sun Yunhe, this is our territory. You’re not welcome here. Take your things and get out of here right now, or I’ll make sure you leave lying down.”
Qin Zhongting has a fiery temper. He had just tried to win over Chen Er, but Chen Er rejected him.
He was already very unhappy, but now, Wei Zhongxian was still eyeing Chen Er.
This displeased the two old men. Sun Yunhe acted as if nothing had happened, crossing his arms and sneering at Qin Zhongting.
"Qin Zhongting, I said you're too old, so you should stand aside. It's the young people's world now. Besides, I was sent by Lord Wei Zhongxian. Today, I'd like to see who dares to kick me out."
Sun Yunhe's cold voice filled the entire hall, causing Qin Zhongting and Zhao Beixing to both smile helplessly.
