The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 608 Left and Right Arms

"When did I ever say I wanted the military power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard? That's something you can never hold onto. It's better to give it to one of your subordinates last time. That way, if you capture one person, it's the same as capturing the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard."

The Emperor's idea was to keep the Embroidered Uniform Guard firmly under Chen Er's control, so that Chen Er would taste the benefits and not rebel.

Moreover, the emperor believed that Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen were not the same kind of people, so the emperor was relatively at ease with Chen Er. However, this eunuch was afraid that Chen Er would be as ambitious as Zhang Xingchen.

That would bring even more trouble to the Emperor, so the eunuch said again.

"Your Majesty, it would be better to imprison Chen Er as well. Didn't you see? Chen Er was holding Zhang Xingchen's body and shedding tears. He might even help Zhang Xingchen take revenge, and then the Ming Dynasty would fall into an endless hell again."

The eunuch's words enraged the emperor, and without a second thought, he slapped the eunuch across the face.

"You trash, don't say such nasty things to me again. Chen Er would never do such a thing. I believe in Chen Er."

Besides, Zhang Xingchen is Chen Er's good brother. Even if Chen Er sheds tears for Zhang Xingchen, it means that Chen Er is a man of flesh and blood. After the Emperor finished speaking, his face was extremely gloomy, and he turned and left.

In fact, the Emperor was very angry when Chen Er was holding Zhang Xingchen's corpse, but he didn't say it because he knew the truth.

Chen Er was his right-hand man. If the emperor had Chen Er to help him, who would be willing to work hard to help the emperor conquer the country in the future?

Therefore, the emperor did not intend to take action against Chen Er, but wanted to use Chen Er's strength to get rid of Wei Zhongxian. Chen Er buried Zhang Xingchen's body at the foot of a mountain. Chen Er wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and then said seriously.

"Brother Zhang Xingchen, I'm really sorry. I never thought I'd be the one burying you. I never imagined we'd become enemies. But don't worry."

"I will definitely help you complete the task you desire. Don't you want the Emperor's beloved concubine's body? I will do everything in my power to bury that body with you."

Chen Er's words startled both Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong. They knew how important the Emperor valued the body of his beloved concubine. The Emperor only needed to hand the body over to Zhang Xingchen.

Perhaps Zhang Xingchen wouldn't have rebelled, but the emperor didn't do that; instead, he refused to hand over the body.

Regardless of Zhang Xingchen's rebellion, Chen Er's words immediately left the two of them bewildered, with Ma Dazhi looking at Chen Er in confusion.

"My lord, you must think this through. This matter is not as simple as you think. If His Majesty had given the corpse to Zhang Xingchen, it wouldn't have dragged on until now."

Ma Dazhi spoke first, and Chen Er waved his hand before saying helplessly.

"Your Majesty, since you value this corpse so much, I must fulfill Brother Zhang Xingchen's last wish. I have done nothing wrong, Your Majesty has done nothing wrong, no one has done anything wrong. It's just a matter of whose methods are more skillful."

Chen Er's words pleased Zheng Yuqing, and the woman stepped forward voluntarily.

"Chen Er, why don't you leave this matter to me? I will definitely steal my beloved concubine's body and bury it with your brother Zhang Xingchen."

Zheng Yuqing's words excited Pang Huaiyi a little. Pang Huaiyi had never imagined that one day he would steal the body of the emperor's beloved concubine.

Thinking about it this way, a sense of accomplishment welled up inside me: "Chen Er, I want to go too! I want to help you complete this task. Today I saw the Emperor take action. That dog of an emperor is quite fast. I want to fight the Emperor once."

Chen Er listened to the conversation between the two and felt a little helpless.

However, Chen Er also understood that these two people meant well, if you two were willing to do so.

"Then go ahead, but be very careful. The Emperor has many skilled guards around him. I don't want you to end up staying with the Emperor just to steal a corpse." After Chen Er finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Yuqing.

"Especially you, such a lively girl, and you are so beautiful. If the Emperor takes a liking to you, you will become another beloved concubine."

After Chen Er finished speaking, he burst into laughter. Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong were also amused by Chen Er's words, leaving only Zheng Yuqing, who stomped her feet on the ground and muttered something helplessly.

"Chen Er, do you know? She likes you. Even if it were the emperor, I wouldn't give him a second glance."

However, Zheng Yuqing's voice was too soft, and only Zheng Yuqing could hear it clearly. After Chen Er returned, a eunuch found him.

"Lord Chen Er, the Emperor has summoned you to discuss an important matter, which seems to be related to your control of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Even without the eunuch's explanation, Chen Er understood the Emperor's meaning. The Emperor wanted to use military power to completely control Chen Er. The Emperor was afraid that Chen Er would leave him again, and then the Emperor would not be so full of vigor and would instead deal with Wei Zhongxian.

Chen Er probably had his own selfish motives in wanting to control the Embroidered Uniform Guard. In fact, the moment the emperor showed his martial arts skills today, Chen Er understood that the emperor was not as he appeared.

It may seem simple, but despite the fact that the Emperor suffers a lot of bullying on a daily basis, he is very tolerant.

Otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't have used his skills today. Chen Er remembered that a few years ago, an assassin named Zhang Tianfei had tried to assassinate the Emperor at that critical moment.

The emperor never showed that he knew martial arts, and based on this alone, Chen Er was able to conclude that the emperor was a very tolerant man.

After Chen Er thought of this, he followed the eunuch. Chen Er wanted to ask the Empress Dowager what exactly happened.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian had completely killed Ma Tiantao, but Zhang Tianfei, despite being surrounded and beaten by so many guards, still managed to leave with Ma Tiantao's body.

This infuriated Wei Zhongxian, who ordered that Zhang Tianfei be found, even if it meant searching the entire city.

Because Wei Zhongxian knew very well that he absolutely could not let Zhang Tianfei continue to live in this world, otherwise it would only bring him endless trouble.
