The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 564 Calling the Wind and Rain

The moment the bearded man's voice reached Chen's ears, he slapped the bearded man away.

"You all really want to die today. This person is the current emperor. Why don't you kneel down right now?"

"I said, if every one of you who comes here claims to be the Emperor, would you believe me if I said I was the late Emperor, the Emperor's father?" a guard said rudely, which really angered the Emperor, who shouted.

"Take them all down! Who gave you the right to act so arrogantly here?" At the Emperor's command, Chen Er immediately rushed forward.

Chen Er kicked one of the guards away, and before the other guard could even reach him, Chen Er snapped his neck. Chen Er's actions were swift and decisive.

Anyway, the Emperor has already given the order, so even if they are all killed, Chen Er will not have to bear any responsibility.

"You actually dared to kill someone! Do you know you're going against Zhang Xingchen? You should know the consequences! Brothers, grab your weapons!"

After these people finished calling your name, a number of guards immediately came from outside. Chen Er was not afraid at all. These eunuchs around the emperor were also martial arts practitioners, and their martial arts skills were also very good.

So the battle was about to break out. Without thinking, Chen Er kicked two guards to the ground as if his two feet were two steel bars. Then, Chen Er used his knee to knock down another guard.

The battle lasted only a few minutes before it ended, leaving only the guards lying on the ground, clutching their heads, some missing limbs, and some no longer breathing.

Chen Er arrived at the door and twisted the lock with all his might. He saw a person lying on the corner of the wall and on the haystack, covered in blood, with no facial features visible. Chen Er's voice trembled slightly.

"Lord Zhang Shaoqing, we are late and we are sorry to have caused you trouble."

As soon as Chen Er finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes. If Chen Er hadn't witnessed Zhang Shaoqing's condition with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

Zhang Xingchen is such a ruthless person. No matter what, Zhang Shaoqing is their senior.

But Zhang Xingchen actually did such a thing. What angered Chen Er the most was that Zhang Shaoqing's legs were actually pierced through the middle by iron chains.

They just didn't want Zhang Shaoqing to escape. Even if someone like that got out, he would be crippled for life. Zhang Shaoqing was barely alive. With his hair disheveled, he opened his eyes and saw Chen Er and the Emperor.

Zhang Shaoqing was startled and was about to kneel before the Emperor, but before he could even kneel, his body went limp and he had no strength left.

Because Zhang Shaoqing was here, he not only had to endure the torment of every guard, but he also couldn't eat or sleep well every day. Every time, Zhang Xingchen would come to examine Zhang Shaoqing in the middle of the night, and the emperor would immediately step forward to help Zhang Shaoqing up.

"Zhang Shaoqing, we've really wronged you. We're late. I'll take you away now and we absolutely won't allow you to suffer any more injustice here."

After the Emperor finished speaking, he was about to leave with Zhang Shaoqing when a commotion was heard outside.

"I'd like to see who dares to do this. They've got some nerve. Who would dare leave without my orders?" Zhang Xingchen strode in angrily, followed by a large group of Imperial Guards. Zhang Xingchen's arrival infuriated Chen Er.

Chen Er was about to kill Zhang Xingchen, but the Emperor stopped him. The Emperor sighed and looked at Zhang Xingchen.

“Zhang Xingchen, you’ve really grown too big for your britches. Even Wei Zhongxian wouldn’t dare speak to me like that. You’re the first one to do so.”

The Emperor spoke from the heart. He believed that Zhang Xingchen was far more arrogant and domineering than Wei Zhongxian had been. Even Wei Zhongxian wouldn't dare to speak to the Emperor like that now, but Zhang Xingchen was different.

After hearing the Emperor's words, Zhang Xingchen laughed and said, "What business is it of mine with Wei Zhongxian? I don't have the final say in the entire prison now. I'll let you take Zhang Shaoqing away."

"I absolutely cannot stop you from taking it away." The Emperor laughed at that moment.

"Well done! Who gave you the authority to speak to me like that? Aren't you afraid I'll exterminate your entire family?" The Emperor's voice was already trembling.

She was completely angered by Zhang Xingchen, but Zhang Xingchen didn't seem to care at all.

"It was the Empress Dowager who gave me this order, you know? Zhang Shaoqing actually committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Just last night, Zhang Shaoqing actually used an imperial sword."

They wanted to kill me, but I managed to take it from them." After saying this, Zhang Xingchen took out an imperial sword from his pocket and continued to speak with a cold laugh.

"Zhang Shaoqing actually used the imperial sword bestowed by the emperor of a previous dynasty. Is it a grave crime to use it against a current official? I urge Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."

Zhang Xingchen's words left the emperor somewhat bewildered, but it was clear that the sword in Zhang Xingchen's hand was indeed the imperial sword from the previous dynasty.

This surprised the Emperor. Even if Zhang Xingchen was senile, he couldn't possibly have done such a thing. The Emperor looked at Zhang Shaoqing with a questioning gaze, but Zhang Shaoqing remained very calm.

"Your Majesty, I really can't take it anymore. They beat me every night. Look, a piece of flesh is missing from my arm. They bit it off with wild cats."

They scare me with those poisonous snakes every day. I don't want to live like this anymore; I just want a quick death.

Although Zhang Shaoqing knew that using the imperial sword to kill current officials was a capital offense, he was willing to do so.

Zhang Shaoqing felt that he was living without dignity, and that it would be better to end it all than to let his body suffer such humiliation any longer.

Zhang Shaoqing's words immediately made Chen Er's eyes redden. Chen Er took a step forward and looked at Zhang Xingchen with a cold smile.

"What audacity! If I don't kill you today, I'm not Chen Er." Chen Er was truly enraged now, no matter how the emperor tried to persuade him.

Chen Er had completely lost control of the fire in his heart, but Zhang Xingchen said with a smile.

"Chen Er, please don't get angry. I have something to tell you. Situ Minyue has now become my woman. Of course, it's a pity."

"Si Tu Minyue's virginity is gone. Whether it was given to you or not, we both know the answer. So from now on, we two will definitely be enemies." Zhang Xingchen's words left Chen Er somewhat dumbfounded.
