The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 566 Fallen Flowers and Flowing Water

After Zhang Shaoqing finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood again. Zhang Shaoqing knew, of course, that Zhang Xingchen had hurt Situ Minyue in order to take revenge on Chen Er.

Chen Er understood this principle. He hadn't expected that Situ Minyue would be so foolish as to fall for Zhang Xingchen's trick. The Emperor watched Chen Er leave with Zhang Shaoqing on his back.

The Empress sighed and followed, with Wei Zhongxian accompanying the Empress Dowager. Wei Zhongxian saw that Chen Er was acting as if nothing had happened, carrying Zhang Shaoqing on his back and about to leave.

"A man's knees are worth gold; he should only kneel to those he is supposed to kneel to. I kneel to heaven, earth, and my parents; I kneel to the emperor without any complaints. But if you ask me to kneel to the empress dowager, I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Chen Er's words were spoken with great conviction, causing an uproar among everyone who began to discuss his intentions. The Empress Dowager's face grew even more somber.

The Emperor, seeing Chen Er's voice, shouted, "Chen Er, how dare you! Who gave you the audacity to be so arrogant and domineering in front of me? Guards, seize Chen Er!"

After the Empress Dowager finished speaking to the eunuchs, Shuai walked over first. Chen Er wasn't afraid at all, since Zhang Shaoqing was covered in iron chains anyway.

Chen Er tied a knot in the iron chain around his body before looking down at the approaching eunuch. Chen Er then assumed a fighting stance.

"Anyone who dares to stop me today will die." After saying this, Chen Er charged towards the eunuchs before they could react.

Chen Er pounced on the sheep like a hungry wolf, much to the surprise of the eunuchs. They were taken aback by his audacity in launching a counterattack, which made their faces grow increasingly grim.

After all, these eunuchs knew that they could not let Chen Er go today under any circumstances. Otherwise, if the Empress Dowager got him drunk, they would be beheaded at best and their entire family would be exterminated at worst.

Therefore, these eunuchs dared not be negligent. Chen Er was now extremely fast, and with each move, he utterly defeated them.

Suddenly, a large number of archers rushed in from outside and aimed directly at Chen Er, startling the emperor.

"Empress Dowager, you have gone too far. Why not let Zhang Shaoqing leave? Besides, what evidence do you have that Zhang Shaoqing is colluding with the enemy?"

The emperor knew it was his turn to speak; otherwise, what use would it be for him to stand there like a wooden puppet?

Besides, if Zhang Shaoqing hadn't been getting closer to him recently, Wei Zhongxian would never have taken action against him. Moreover, the Emperor had a premonition that after Zhang Shaoqing died, Wei Zhongxian would probably take action against Chen Er.

This was not the outcome the Emperor wanted. Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the Empress Dowager sneered.

"I don't need any reason to suspect anyone. I said that Zhang Shaoqing colluded with other countries, so he did. And you want me to produce evidence? Chen Er, I'll ask you one last question."

"If you leave Zhang Shaoqing here now, you can leave; if you insist on doing so, then archers will come to your aid."

It was obvious that the Empress Dowager was only using this as a threat to Chen Er; in reality, she secretly hoped that Chen Er would take Zhang Shaoqing away.

In this way, the Empress Dowager could take the opportunity to get rid of Chen Er, and Wei Zhongxian would no longer have to rack his brains trying to figure out how to deal with Chen Er, since dealing with Chen Er was indeed very difficult.

After all, Chen Er now controls the Imperial Guard. The Emperor sighed, walked up to Chen Er, and tugged at Chen Er's clothes.

"Chen Er, release Zhang Shaoqing and let him stay here for now. Rest assured, I swear to God that I will never let Zhang Shaoqing suffer any more injustices." The Emperor's words greatly displeased Chen Er.

“Even if you swear to the King of Heaven, I will never believe you again. You are all bad people. You will stop at nothing to achieve your goals. Today, I will take Zhang Shaoqing away no matter what,” Chen Er said firmly.

Zhang Shaoqing's eyes were red. He felt that he had not misjudged Chen Er and that Chen Er had not disappointed him.

"Chen Er, please let me go. I'm already very old. Even if I die here this time, it may be fate. You just need to take good care of Situ Minyue for me."

Zhang Shaoqing's words made Chen Er even angrier. Before Chen Er could answer Zhang Shaoqing, Zhang Xingchen interrupted again.

"Don't worry, Zhang Shaoqing. I will take good care of your daughter and make her healthy and chubby, and give birth to many chubby boys. Moreover, I will love Situ Minyue as much as I loved Yang Xiaoqian, until the day Yang Xiaoqian returns to my side."

Zhang Xingchen is like a madman now. Many people know that Yang Xiaoqian is dead, but Zhang Xingchen believes that Yang Xiaoqian will come back to him.

Zhang Xingchen now sees Situ Minyue as Yang Xiaoqian, and the more Zhang Xingchen hates Yang Xiaoqian, the more he loves Situ Minyue.

However, on the other hand, Zhang Xingchen's love was not true love, but a form of torture and a so-called deception. Zhang Shaoqing was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Zhang Xingchen, please release my precious daughter for the sake of our colleagues. I'll kowtow to you here."

After Zhang Shaoqing finished speaking, he tried to get off Chen Er's body, but because of the iron chains binding him, Zhang Xingchen was completely frightened. Chen Er also absolutely forbade Zhang Shaoqing to kneel down, as Zhang Shaoqing was so old.

Logically speaking, he is their senior, so why should they kowtow to Zhang Xingchen? "Lord Zhang Shaoqing, remember my words: as long as I, Chen Er, am alive, I will never let Situ Minyue suffer any injustice."

After Chen Er finished speaking, his eyes reddened and he wanted to rush out, but at the same time the Empress Dowager gave an order.

"Archers were on their way, but Chen Er remained obstinate and was killed on the spot."

The archers all wore cold smiles as they opened their bows and unleashed a barrage of arrows that swept across Chen Er's entire area like a strange gust of wind.

Even with Chen Er's incredibly agile movements, it would be extremely difficult for him to avoid injury in the face of so many arrows.

So Xiao Xin was constantly tumbling back and forth in the air and on the ground, but Chen Er forgot that these archers were spreading out and had surrounded him.

Chen Er suddenly heard several splattering sounds, and when his body was stained red with blood, he was momentarily stunned.

"Chen Er, this is all your own fault. Now that you have caused Zhang Shaoqing's death, you must stay and bear all the consequences."

The Empress Dowager persisted, and Chen Er immediately roared to the sky. His tears turned blood red, and he reached out to look at the Empress Dowager.
