The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 390 The Main Force Arrives

Zhao Beixing said this to thoroughly provoke Chen Er with words. As long as Chen Er dared to make a move, Zhao Beixing would have a way to punish him. Ma Dazhi also realized that things were not going well. If Zhao Beixing hadn't come, they could have just captured Zhao Tianming and broken through this wall.

If Chen Er finds Zhao Tianming's hidden stash of money, then Zhao Beixing will have no chance to turn back. No one expected Zhao Beixing to arrive so soon.

“Lord Zhao Beixing, what will you do if I forcefully break through this wall today? Whether you sentence me to death or imprison me, I, Chen Er, will accept it. I must break through this wall today.”

Chen Er knocked on the wall before speaking calmly.

Suddenly, a hollow sound came from inside the wall, clearly indicating that there was a hidden compartment within it. Chen Er did this on purpose, intending to make the sound known to Zhao Beixing.

Chen Er continued, "Did you hear that, Lord Zhao Beixing? This wall is hollow; there are hidden compartments inside. As long as we break through this wall, we can see the secret stash inside."

But Zhao Beixing pretended not to hear and asked with great suspicion, "Chen Er, this wall looks just like any other wall! You did this on purpose to cause trouble for Zhao Tianming. Don't think I don't know."

"With me here today, you must not lay a finger on Zhao Tianming," Zhao Beixing said angrily.

Zhao Beixing was well aware that he absolutely could not stand by and watch Zhao Tianming fall in front of him, otherwise he would be the next one to be targeted by Chen Erdong. Just as the two groups were about to make a move, footsteps suddenly came from outside again.

This time, the sound of horses' hooves accompanied the approach, clearly indicating that a large force had arrived. Zhao Beixing and Zhao Tianming were both very puzzled, wondering why anyone would come so late. Upon hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Chen Er's smile was self-evident.

Chen Er had already guessed in his heart that as long as Zhang Xingchen from the Embroidered Uniform Guard had won over Zhao Tianming's concubine Yang Xiaoqian,

At this moment, Zhang Xingchen was dressed quite properly, even wearing his official robes. You should know that Zhang Xingchen usually hates wearing official robes the most.

He felt uneasy if he wore official robes and didn't do anything for the people, but now Zhang Xingchen has changed his ways and actually put on official robes on his own initiative.

Therefore, it can be concluded that Zhang Xingchen came here on purpose. Zhao Beixing's face was extremely ugly, as if he had just been fed a fly. Even Zhao Tianming, who was standing next to Zhao Beixing, had his eyes wide open.

Zhao Tianming seemed to have seen a ghost. When Chen Er and Zhao Tianming's groups had a conflict, Chen Er was actually going to have Ma Dazhi inform the Embroidered Uniform Guard to come and help, but Zhao Tianming was ruthless and had his men block the door.

They wouldn't let Chen Er's men step out, but who would have thought that Zhang Xingchen would actually show up uninvited? Zhao Tianming couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, and even rubbed his eyes involuntarily, thinking that he was hallucinating.

Zhang Xingchen let out a long roar, mounted his tall horse, looked down at Zhao Beixing, and then politely cupped his hands in greeting.

"Oh ho, isn't this Lord Zhao Beixing? What brings you to Zhao Tianming's residence today, and with so many people? What are you up to? Why are you blocking my friend here?"

Although Zhang Xingchen's words were very gentle, anyone who wasn't a fool could hear the anger hidden within them.

Of course, the friend Zhang Xingchen was referring to was Chen Er. Although Zhao Beixing felt a little conflicted, he didn't show it on the surface and just smiled at Zhang Xingchen.

"Lord Zhang Xingchen, what brings you here? Don't you usually dislike meddling in court affairs? Have you changed your ways?" Zhao Beixing spoke from the heart.

Within the imperial court, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was the least respected force, a weak and insignificant group. Even the leaders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were extremely cautious in their daily actions and had never openly provoked Zhao Beixing.

But now, Zhang Xingchen has actually come riding a tall horse for Chen Er. How could Zhao Beixing not be amazed? Faced with Zhao Beixing's questioning, Zhang Xingchen burst into laughter.

“I still have some temper left. Although I haven’t known Brother Chen Er for long, I’ve already treated him like family. How dare you bully him like this? Don’t you respect the Embroidered Uniform Guard?” Zhang Xingchen shouted the last sentence.

In terms of imposing presence, Zhang Xingchen had already completely overwhelmed Zhao Beixing. At this moment, Zhao Beixing secretly regretted that he should have brought more men if he had known that the Embroidered Uniform Guard would investigate the matter. But now, although he had brought more men than Chen Er had his guards with swords.

However, compared to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it was simply insignificant. Therefore, Zhao Beixing understood that Zhao Tianming had fallen here today. Although Zhang Xingchen had already learned from Chen Er that Zhao Tianming had a small treasury at home.

However, on the surface, Zhang Xingchen still pretended to be curious and asked Chen Er, "Chen Er, why aren't you staying at your residence? Why are you bringing so many subordinates to Zhao Tianming's residence? Do you have a conflict with Zhao Tianming? Don't you know you are a first-rank official? How can you take the initiative to provoke Lord Zhao Tianming?"

Zhang Xingchen spoke with great authority, but to Chen Er, it only made him shake his head and smile bitterly. Chen Er understood that Zhang Xingchen was just putting on an act, but he didn't dare to be careless with his outward appearance and said angrily.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, I learned by chance that Zhao Tianming is greedy and has a secret treasury at home. Moreover, I can guarantee that the amount of money inside is not much less than that of the Ming Dynasty," Chen Er said firmly.

Chen Er's words immediately made Zhao Tianming's face extremely gloomy. Zhao Tianming really didn't expect that Chen Er's move was so ruthless. Before even finding his secret stash, he directly said that he had more money hidden away than the entire Ming Dynasty. What did this mean?
