The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 465 Five Tiger Generals

Wei Zhongxian directly sacrificed Sun Yunhe, one of his Five Tiger Generals, and then took all the blame upon himself. In any case, if there was even one crime, Sun Yunhe could be sentenced to death.

Wei Zhongxian wanted Sun Yunhe to shoulder all the burdens himself, so that Sun Yunhe's death would have been worthwhile.

After all, Zhao Beixing was unharmed. If we're talking about Sun Yunhe, one of the Five Tiger Generals, and Zhao Beixing...

If Wei Zhongxian had to choose, who would he save first? Of course, he would save his close friend, whom he considered like a brother.

Zhao Beixing was different. After all, Zhao Beixing was no longer part of Wei Zhongxian's faction, and the two shared a common enemy: Chen Er.

So the two formed an alliance because of Chen Er. Now Wei Zhongxian wants to give Zhao Beixing a huge gift, which is to sacrifice Sun Yunhe, one of the Five Tiger Generals by his side.

If Zhao Beixing is given a chance to survive, then frankly speaking, he might become Wei Zhongxian's puppet.

Whatever Wei Zhongxian ordered Zhao Beixing to do, Zhao Beixing had to do it. The emperor was very dissatisfied with this and wanted to kill Zhao Beixing as well.

But now, Sun Yunhe has pinned all the blame on himself. How could the Emperor not be angry?

“Sun Yunhe, you’re a man of your own, there’s no need to try to deceive me with these things. If word gets out, you’ll be the one who assassinated Chen Er. Why would you do that?”

"Don't you know? Chen Er is about to become a father. Chen Er's safety is extremely important. Have you all forgotten my warnings?"

The current emperor doesn't care whether Wei Zhongxian is here or not; he wants to put Sun Yunhe to death. It would be best to keep Sun Yunhe from saying anything more, since Zhao Beixing is also involved in this matter.

If Sun Yunhe were to take all the blame himself, then Zhao Beixing would be much safer.

Sun Yunhe and the others can be sacrificed: "Your Majesty, didn't I just tell you everything? I'm just very resentful because I have a personal grudge against Chen Er."

"All I wanted was for someone to kill him, but I didn't manage to do it." Sun Yunhe's tone was now very indifferent.

As if this matter had nothing to do with him, he said, "Your Majesty, the matter has now been investigated and it has been found that everything was done by Sun Yunhe alone."

"It has little to do with anyone else. I hope Your Majesty will not pursue this matter any further, after all, Your Majesty's health is of utmost importance."

Even at this crucial moment, Wei Zhongxian did not forget to interrupt, intending to leave the emperor with no room for criticism and to prevent him from finding any loopholes in his words.

This really displeased the Emperor. He cursed inwardly, thinking, "That damned Wei Zhongxian is nothing but an ungrateful wretch who can't be supported."

Wei Zhongxian's methods were too ruthless, but if this matter ended like this, frankly speaking, the emperor would be very unwilling.

I was really unwilling to accept it. After all, why was Zhao Beixing left unscathed, in the Emperor's eyes?

If the emperor had to choose between killing Zhao Beixing and killing Sun Yunhe, he would undoubtedly choose Zhao Beixing without any pressure.

Because no matter what, Zhao Beixing was a high-ranking official, and now his relationship with Wei Zhongxian was simply a form of cooperation. Such a person absolutely could not be allowed to stay.

"Alright, since you've admitted it, I'll have you taken into custody. But I'll investigate this matter thoroughly. I'd like to see who's behind it all," the Emperor said indifferently.

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, Zhang Xingchen immediately led his men to escort Sun Yunhe away. At this moment, Wei Zhongxian's eyes were red as he watched his good brother leave.

Wei Zhongxian knew very well that anyone who was imprisoned would be executed within a few years.

Moreover, if things go quickly, it will only take a few days. So Wei Zhongxian is feeling a bit uneasy, wondering if he has been too careless in his work.

I never imagined what it would be like for the five tiger generals around me, but now that it has already happened.

Wei Zhongxian knew better than anyone else that what he said was no longer important; the most important thing at hand was how to help Zhao Beixing fabricate charges against him.

Once Zhao Beixing is exonerated, Wei Zhongxian will not suffer any loss even if he loses Sun Yunhe.

After the emperor left, Wei Zhongxian immediately turned around and stood up from the ground with a quick wit.

"You are all staying here and are not allowed to go anywhere. I need to find the Empress Dowager to find out what happened, otherwise we will all be sitting here waiting to die."

Wei Zhongxian was finding it increasingly difficult to understand what the emperor was thinking. Logically speaking, the emperor should be looking to launch a swift counterattack.

Moreover, the person who gave the emperor the courage to fight back was Chen Er. Now, whenever Wei Zhongxian mentions Chen Er, he feels a pang of guilt.

The situation has already turned upside down, and Wei Zhongxian is growing increasingly disgusted with Chen Er, wishing he could quickly find a suitable reason to completely eliminate Chen Er.

Otherwise, if things continue to develop in this way, there's not much point in continuing, because Wei Zhongxian finds it hard to believe that it won't be long before things get better.

It is estimated that Chen Er's power will become much stronger in the future. In the end, it will not be so easy to touch Chen Er again. Wei Zhongxian has done this to you many times before.

The Imperial Guards nowadays are also filled with the atmosphere of battle, with neither side willing to give way.

Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong advocated taking Liu Weilong away, but the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) completely disagreed.

"I'm telling you, if you two don't want to die, get out of here right now, or you'll be sorry."

A burly Imperial Guard roared loudly. This guy's lung capacity was simply enormous. Just his roar when he saw injustice made the ground tremble.

Ma Dazhi never expected that these Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) members would be so united. No wonder the Emperor had wanted to overthrow the Jinyiwei for the past few years but had never had a chance of doing so.
