The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 659 Talking and Whining

Wei Zhongxian has begun to win over the people. After dealing with Chen Er, Wei Zhongxian will lead his troops into the capital and prepare to replace the emperor with someone else. The current emperor is too much of a headache for Wei Zhongxian.

"I have devoted myself wholeheartedly to Your Majesty, enduring countless hardships without complaint, yet Your Majesty listened to the words of that villain Chen Er. It is truly disheartening. Rest assured, I know what it feels like to be disheartened, so I will not let you down."

"What are you saying, Godfather? We will go through fire and water for you without hesitation. As long as you give the order, we will even dare to storm the palace."

The general of the Divine Machine Battalion understood Wei Zhongxian's meaning and immediately pledged his loyalty to Wei Zhongxian.

Everyone knows that the current struggle has escalated into a battle for ultimate power. Either Wei Zhongxian dies and the emperor regains power, or Chen Er dies and Wei Zhongxian manipulates things again to replace the emperor with a young child.

"Hmm, you're quite good. Follow me closely, and it's possible that you'll become a prince someday."

Being granted the title of king by someone of a different surname is an extremely difficult thing; it's impossible to be granted such a title without sufficient merit.

Upon hearing the possibility of becoming a king of a different surname, the general of the Divine Machine Battalion was so excited he almost jumped up.

"Thank you, Godfather. I will definitely serve you well."

After pledging his loyalty, the general of the Shenji Battalion said to the loud-voiced soldiers behind him, "Keep shouting and urging those people to hand over Chen Er quickly, or my red-coated cannons will fire."

“Our general said that you must hand over Chen Er immediately, or our family’s cannons will open fire and blast you to smithereens.”

The loud-voiced soldier shouted in unison, and the soldiers surrounding Chen Er drew their weapons, their gleaming swords and blades all pointed at Chen Er.

Zheng Yuqing leaned against Chen Er, looking at the soldiers whose eyes gleamed with ruthlessness, and sighed inwardly.

"Chen Er, I never thought we could die together. We couldn't be husband and wife in life, but we can be buried together in death. That's good enough."

Chen Er rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit of a headache, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could we possibly die? With me here, none of us will die."

The generals glared at Chen Er and said coldly, "Lord Chen, we don't want to lay a hand on you. How about you obediently let us tie you up and hand you over to His Majesty?"

"Of course, if you cooperate with us, we will release those Imperial Guards around you, as well as this beautiful lady. We absolutely mean what we say."

The Imperial Guards looked at Chen Er with trepidation. If war broke out, they would all die. If Chen Er cooperated with these generals, at least they would have a chance to survive.

“Lord Chen, why don’t you just bear with it? We will remember your kindness and will burn paper money for you every year.”

Zheng Yuqing glared at the Imperial Guard who had spoken and said hatefully, "Are you all such cowards who fear death? If you're so afraid of death, then join them in dealing with me and Chen Er!"

"We didn't mean it that way. This is just selflessness. We all have elderly parents and young children to support," the Imperial Guard explained, his face flushed, realizing that what he said was indeed a bit inappropriate.

"Stop arguing, all of you. How about letting my men leave first? After they leave, I'll let you tie me up." Chen Er looked at the generals and said fearlessly.

Upon hearing Chen Er's words, Zheng Yuqing suddenly turned around and hugged him tightly, saying in a tearful voice, "What are you doing? Why are you trying to be a hero at a time like this? Let's fight our way out together and then figure out a way to deal with that treacherous dog Wei Zhongxian!"

"Be good, listen to me, you guys leave first. I have a way to deal with that old man. You're just getting in the way here. Listen to me and leave." Chen Er gently comforted Zheng Yuqing.

Zheng Yuqing shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.

"No, I want to be with you, I'll be with you no matter what, even in life or death."

Zheng Yuqing didn't care what Chen Er said. She only knew that it was dangerous for Chen Er to stay alone, and that he might die. She insisted on staying with Chen Er no matter what.

"How could you be so stupid? If I told you to leave with them, you should have just left with them. Staying here will only get me killed. I have my own plans. Just listen to me." Chen Er pleaded, somewhat frantically.

At this moment, Chen Er was experiencing firsthand the treatment he received as the female lead in a TV series in his previous life. The female lead would always act out at crucial moments. Chen Er used to look down on this and thought it was just something the screenwriter made up. Now he was experiencing it firsthand.

Chen Er tried hard to think of the lines that male protagonists use to coax female protagonists to leave, and used them on Zheng Yuqing, hoping to coax her to leave obediently.

The generals watching from the side grew impatient; this kind of lovey-dovey, chattering behavior was making everyone feel utterly disgusted.

"That's enough for you all. Don't waste any more time. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the Ninth Prince. Haven't you seen the Red Cannons already set up? If the Red Cannons fire, people could really die."

"Lord Chen, we've been giving you enough face. Hurry up and deal with your woman, or we'll really be in a difficult position. If this drags on any longer, we'll have to say that weapons have no eyes."

The generals were already impatient and gripped their weapons tightly.

"Women are such a hassle. Well, let me find a place to settle him down. You guys don't walk so fast, keep an eye on Miss Zheng for me."

Several Imperial Guards who had walked halfway stopped and nodded helplessly to Chen Er, after all, Chen Er was now their leader.

"Hurry up, just put that woman under that rock. Brothers, get the ropes ready, we'll tie Lord Chen up hand and foot in a bit."

Chen Er carried Zheng Yuqing and placed her under a boulder not far away, asking several Imperial Guards to help watch over her.

"Lord Chen, you must be careful. If anything happens to you, we will escort Miss Zheng away." The Imperial Guard clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Er and said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you guys. I'll go deal with that old dog Wei Zhongxian." Chen Er turned around decisively and walked into the ranks of soldiers.

"Tie up Lord Chen." The general waved his hand, and the soldiers rushed over with ropes and tied Chen Er up tightly.

After binding Chen Er, the generals and soldiers escorted him toward the Shenji Camp's encampment.

"Lord Chen, please forgive us. If you become a ghost, don't blame us. Blame yourself for choosing the wrong side. Why did you oppose the Ninth Prince?"

"Now, the Ninth Prince can be said to have absolute power. Everyone in the world knows about the Ninth Prince, but how many people know about the Emperor? The power of the court is in the hands of the Ninth Prince."
