Chapter 343 The End
“I say, Lord Wei Zhongxian, you don’t need to dwell on this anymore. Let’s put this matter aside for now. I’m a little tired, so I’ll retire for the time being.”
After the emperor finished speaking, he left the court surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, and Chen Er breathed a sigh of relief.
But just then, Chen Er felt someone pat his shoulder. When Chen Er turned his head, he saw Qin Zhongting and Zhao Beixing. Zhao Beixing, in particular, gave Chen Er a thumbs up in a very domineering manner.
“Young man, you are making me more and more pleased. This is the first time I have ever seen someone dare to speak to Wei Zhongxian like that.”
"You'd better be careful of this old fox in the future, after all, Wei Zhongxian is not someone to be trifled with."
In fact, Chen Er understood that Wei Zhongxian, that old fox, must be unhappy about what he had said to him today.
However, Chen Er simply ignored this point, unless he used some underhanded tactics against him in the future.
Chen Er wouldn't believe it either, so Chen Er suggested beating Wei Zhongxian up, since he could disappear without a trace anyway. Just then, Qin Zhongting spoke up again.
"Chen Er, you should be able to sense that the atmosphere in the court is not quite right now, so I still advise you to join a certain faction. Otherwise, you won't even be qualified to compete with Wei Zhongxian."
It seems that Qin Zhongting has no intention of abandoning Chen Er and joining his faction, but Chen Er's attitude remains very firm.
"Lord Qin, please stop trying to persuade me. Besides, I have my own plans. Let me observe for a few more days. Don't worry, even if I don't join one of your factions, we will always be friends."
Qin Zhongting also understood that this matter could not be rushed. He could only let Chen Er realize it immediately. Once this young man had been humiliated, he would understand the benefits of joining the elite.
So let's leave it at that for now. Qin Zhongting and Zhao Beixing originally wanted to throw a celebration banquet for Chen Er.
However, Chen Er politely declined, as he had other matters to attend to. He wanted Qin Luoshen to explain the power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
So after Chen Er left the court, he saw Qin Luoshen, a young girl, standing not far away, waving at him.
Qin Luoshen's pretty face immediately caused some civil and military officials to reveal their expressions, especially one dark-faced man who looked at Qin Luoshen.
"I said, aren't you Qin Zhongting's biological daughter? You look quite old, about the same age as my son."
"How about it? Do you want me to introduce you to a husband's family?" Qin Luoshen's delicate face immediately showed a helpless expression as she waved her hand at the dark-faced man.
"Chen Er, this is one of the leaders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, named Zhang Xingchen." Only then did Chen Er turn his attention to Zhang Xingchen.
Zhang Xingchen looks imposing and robust, especially his eyes, which are bright and expressive, giving the impression that he is unfathomable.
Chen Er immediately smiled, stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting to Zhang Xingchen: "My name is Chen Er. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Zhang Xingchen. I have a favor to ask of you."
Zhang Xingchen was a little surprised, because Chen Er's performance just now was exactly what Zhang Xingchen liked. Now that Chen Er had something to ask him, Zhang Xingchen felt a little flattered. Zhang Xingchen laughed and hugged Chen Er's neck, saying very intimately.
"Chen Er, I can see that you have a bright future ahead of you. So tell me what you need me for? Let's be men and have a good time at the tavern first."
Chen Er was a little helpless. He hadn't expected Zhang Xingchen to be such a heavy drinker. Qin Luoshen stomped her foot angrily before looking at Zhang Xingchen helplessly.
“Lord Zhang, Chen Er is my man. You can’t let him drink too much. I have something to discuss with Chen Er tonight. You absolutely cannot let him get drunk, or I will definitely not let you off lightly.”
Zhang Xingchen narrowed his eyes to slits before scanning Qin Luoshen's exquisite body back and forth.
"You seem different from before. Could it be that you have already transformed from a girl into a woman? It seems that Brother Chen Er is quite swift in his actions. In any case, Qin Luoshen has attracted the attention of many young masters. You'd better be careful in the future."
Qin Luoshen originally wanted to stay here and watch over Chen Er to prevent Zhang Xingchen from getting him drunk, but now that Zhang Xingchen had said such strange things, Qin Luoshen's delicate face immediately turned completely red.
It looked just like a ripe little apple. Qin Luoshen gritted her teeth and glared at Zhang Xingchen before running away.
Only Zhang Xingchen and Chen Er remained, exchanging a glance before letting out a long howl. At that moment, the restaurant was filled with the clamor of voices.
Chen Er and Zhang Xingchen sat in a corner. Zhang Xingchen personally poured Chen Er a full glass of wine, which made Chen Er feel a little flattered.
"Lord Zhang, this is absolutely not right. It should be a sinecure for you to pour wine for me. You're confusing the seniority system."
Zhang Xingchen shook his head nonchalantly: "Chen Er, from now on, don't call me Lord Zhang in front of me. Just call me Brother Zhang. What you said in court today made Wei Zhongxian lose face."
"You'd better be careful in the future. Don't be fooled by Wei Zhongxian's seemingly kind appearance; he's a scoundrel behind the scenes. Many civil and military officials have been ruined by him."
Even without Zhang Xingchen saying it, Chen Er understood that Wei Zhongxian was a major traitor, so Chen Er sighed and said in a low voice.
"That's why I asked Qin Luoshen to help me find you. Actually, I have another purpose in finding you today: I want to join your Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Chen Er's words immediately made Zhang Xingchen spit out the Daughter's Red wine in his mouth. Zhang Xingchen choked and his face turned red. His eyes widened involuntarily, and Chen Er's mouth twitched as he looked at him.
"Chen Er, are you kidding me? Our Embroidered Uniform Guard has no say in the court, even though the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot's guards are about the same in combat strength."
"But the number of people is pitifully small, because most of the generals in the court are biased towards Wei Zhongxian's faction and Qin Zhongting's faction. So why do you want to join my forces now?"
"Are you kidding me?" Zhang Xingchen was truly dumbfounded. No one would join the Embroidered Uniform Guard unless they were an idiot.
