The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 561 Daydreaming

"Chen Er, the Imperial Guards are temporarily under your command. Do whatever you want."

After the emperor finished speaking, he forcibly stuffed the jade pendant into Chen Er's hand. In fact, the emperor's intention was very simple: he wanted to tell Chen Er that whatever he did in the future, he would silently support him from behind.

Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have entrusted the command of the Imperial Guards to Chen Er.

Because the emperor was also afraid that Chen Er would suffer at Zhang Xingchen's hands, things have changed. Now, it's no longer a typical case of the emperor having to contend with Wei Zhongxian; it has evolved into a contest between Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen.

The pretense of civility had completely been broken. Chen Er nodded, not refusing the Emperor's offer, because he understood that this matter would not be easy to resolve.

He had to do everything he could to get Zhang Shaoqing out of the prison. The Emperor and Chen Er walked out side by side, leaving Zhang Xingchen and Wei Zhongxian behind with cold smiles. Zhang Xingchen looked at the spot where the Emperor had left with a helpless expression.

"This is the emperor, the last emperor who didn't take you seriously. I told you long ago that you should break ties with Chen Er sooner rather than later. If you had left Chen Er here yesterday, none of this trouble would have happened."

Wei Zhongxian complained, and his words immediately angered Zhang Xingchen.

"Wei Zhongxian, let me tell you, I will think of myself as bad as you. When I, Zhang Xingchen, want to deal with someone, I will not use those underhanded methods. I will definitely use fair and square means to defeat my enemy."

Zhang Xingchen said firmly, and Wei Zhongxian pursed his lips, involuntarily muttering to himself.

"Zhang Xingchen, it's wishful thinking and a pipe dream for you to think you can deal with Chen Er. If it were before, you might be able to deal with Chen Er, but now that Chen Er has military power, the two of you can only fight to a draw at best."

Wei Zhongxian never intended to hand over his Eastern Depot to Zhang Xingchen to go to Dali.

Therefore, at crucial moments, Wei Zhongxian might choose not to intervene and then potentially trick Zhang Xingchen, because Wei Zhongxian felt that Zhang Xingchen was far too domineering.

They completely disregarded their master; to put it bluntly, Wei Zhongxian likened his subordinates to animals.

As the owner, you should tell your dog what to do, and your dog should do the same. But Zhang Xingchen, this dog, is too disobedient.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian, out of desperation, might use this incident to kill someone else and get rid of Zhang Xingchen, a thorn in his side. Who can say for sure?

Wei Zhongxian was a cunning and shrewd man who was always very careful in his actions and never made a mistake. Situ Minyue was extremely disappointed because she couldn't even see Zhang Shaoqing, as Chen Er had just brought her along.

Chen Er wanted to check on Zhang Shaoqing's injuries, but the people inside didn't give him any face at all.

Moreover, the guards said that unless it was Zhang Xingchen's order, it would be futile for anyone to try to see Zhang Shaoqing.

So Chen Er understood that Zhang Xingchen was simply being used as a pawn by Wei Zhongxian. Why didn't Wei Zhongxian do such a thing? It was because he was afraid of offending people.

In other words, if the Emperor wanted to see Zhang Shaoqing, would these guards also stop him? So Zhang Xingchen has now directly offended the Emperor. After Chen Er bid farewell to the Emperor...

He walked alone on the street, trying to find a way to rescue Zhang Shaoqing.

At this moment, Situ Minyue wanted to find Zhang Xingchen to express her attitude. No matter what price she paid, she had to see her father at Zhang Xingchen's residence.

At this moment, Zhang Xingchen was dressed in official robes, looking Situ Minyue up and down.

"I remember when you were young, I went to your house for drinks. You were just a little girl then, and now you've grown into a beautiful young woman. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Zhang Xingchen's words left Situ Minyue completely bewildered, but she didn't want to waste her precious time arguing with him.

"Lord Zhang Xingchen, I actually have a question for you. I want to visit my father in the Heavenly Prison. I can give you a lot of money, please grant my request," Situ Minyue pleaded with Zhang Xingchen. Zhang Xingchen immediately smiled.

"Tell me if you like Chen Er, and maybe I'll grant your request for Chen Er's sake."

Zhang Xingchen's heart had become extremely violent. He wanted nothing more than to take revenge on Chen Er and even trust all the women around him, including Qin Luoshen.

Zhang Xingchen's words made Situ Minyue very embarrassed, but at the time Situ Minyue didn't think much of it.

"Yes, I do like Lord Chen Er, but I'm the kind of person who likes someone silently in my heart. I won't try to break them up."

Situ Minyue's words infuriated Zhang Xingchen, because everyone connected to Chen Er had become Zhang Xingchen's enemy.

"Alright then, you like Chen Er, and you want to see your father. You just said that you'll do whatever he asks if I can see him, is that right?"

Zhang Xingchen nodded at Situ Minyue and continued speaking.

"Then I want you to be my maid, to serve me in my daily life. Would you be willing?"

After Zhang Xingchen finished speaking, his burning eyes stared intently at Situ Minyue, making Situ Minyue feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she had just taken a hot bath.

"Lord Zhang Xingchen, what exactly do you mean? I don't like men who beat around the bush. Just say what you mean directly." Situ Minyue's voice trembled, and Zhang Xingchen immediately laughed.

"Alright, my meaning is very clear. My beloved Yang Xiaoqian has been killed by Chen Er, so I want you to take Yang Xiaoqian's place, stay by my side, and be my wife. It's that simple."

Zhang Xingchen's words made Situ Minyue unconsciously touch her neck, and then she suddenly stood up.

"Zhang Xingchen, you're despicable! How could you say such a thing? It's shameless!" Situ Minyue said and turned to leave, but how could Zhang Xingchen allow it?

The sneering guards had already blocked the doorway with their weapons in hand. Situ Minyue turned around angrily to look at Zhang Xingchen.

"Zhang Xingchen, what exactly do you mean? Do you want to force me to stay? Do you know what you're doing?" Situ Minyue's words grew colder and colder, but Zhang Xingchen showed no sign of nervousness.

“Situ Minyue, you just want to keep you here to spend the night with me. I want to get revenge on Chen Er,” Zhang Xingchen said angrily. Just then, the sound of clapping came from the wall.
