The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 376: Comparison

Just then, Hu Zi walked over and patted Ma Dazhi on the shoulder: "Hey bro, you need to take it easy. Look at me, I'm just pretending nothing happened. Anyway, our boss is not someone we can compare to. Let's ask him how to deal with Zhao Tianming next."

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianming and Zhao Beixing were walking back when Zhao Tianming couldn't help but start cursing.

"That damned Chen Er! He's just a minor official, yet he treats me with such disrespect. It looks like we'll have to join forces to deal with him from now on." Zhao Tianming was truly furious.

Zhao Beixing's brows furrowed involuntarily at Zhao Tianming's question. He glared at Zhao Tianming with resentment.

Zhao Tianming is a cunning old fox, although he has embezzled a lot of money in recent years.

However, Zhao Tianming kept it very secret. Apart from his wives, no one else knew that he had a small treasury. So Zhao Tianming was very confident about this, unless Chen Er was a god who could find his treasury.

Zhao Beixing was very dissatisfied with Zhao Tianming: "Why don't you ever listen to me? Let me tell you, Chen Er is a very vindictive person. So, you'd better keep the money you embezzled last year safe, lest Chen Er catch you."

Unbeknownst to the two, Chen Er had already begun devising a plan to deal with Zhao Tianming. At this moment, in the backyard, Chen Er stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the armed guards before him.

"You are all my soldiers, and you must obey my orders completely and unconditionally. Now, here are Ma Dazhi and Hu Zi's team. Let's head to Zhao Tianming's residence," Chen Er said with great enthusiasm.

Ma Dazhi was a little surprised. He hadn't expected Chen Er to make a move against Zhao Tianming so soon. Wasn't it agreed that they would wait until Zhang Xingchen had dealt with Yang Xiaoqian? Why was Chen Er making his move ahead of schedule?

“My lord, this matter cannot be rushed. Dealing with Zhao Tianming is not as easy as dealing with Wang Dawei. Zhao Tianming has been an official for decades, and we haven’t had a suitable opportunity yet. Going now would be like stirring up trouble.”

Actually, there was one more thing Ma Dazhi didn't say: Zhao Tianming also had bodyguards with swords under his command.

Chen Er's reckless actions might even cause a chaotic fight. Chen Er chuckled and then looked at Ma Dazhi with confidence.

“I’ve always been a decisive person. To deal with Zhao Tianming, we have to act now. I estimate it won’t be long before Zhang Xingchen takes care of Yang Xiaoqian. If we take down Zhao Tianming with a two-pronged approach, it’ll be a piece of cake.” Chen Er was furious at the thought of Zhao Tianming.

Ma Dazhi felt that Chen Er was very confident today, and even his demeanor had changed a bit. However, Ma Dazhi still couldn't help but ask.

"My lord, what reason should we use for this operation? We can't just go openly, can we? It would be strange if Zhao Tianming didn't resist. Besides, I've heard that Zhao Tianming has a lot of ruthless thugs under his command."

Ma Dazhi was speaking from the heart; he had some prior knowledge of Zhao Tianming.

Chen Er was unsure of Zhao Tianming's strength, but even without Ma Dazhi's reminder, he knew he had to be careful when dealing with Zhao Tianming, because even a cornered dog will bite. So Chen Er thought for a moment before lowering his voice and speaking.

“Let’s just go with the corruption charge. After all, Zhao Tianming has been an official for decades, and he even has a small warehouse at home. As long as we can find the basement, we can use that as a pretext to deal with Zhao Tianming,” Chen Er said nonchalantly.

Ma Dazhi and Hu Zi exchanged a glance, knowing that they couldn't object to their master's decision, so they could only awkwardly follow Chen Er. Just as Chen Er was about to leave, the girl Qin Luoshen, who was still angry, suddenly appeared.

"Chen Er, I feel that you shouldn't go this time. You've already killed Wang Dawei, and I estimate that many people are already preparing to deal with you. So, going after Zhao Tianming now is not a wise choice."

Although Qin Luoshen was a little angry just now because the girl named Zhang Xiue had been winking at Chen Er, she was naturally very worried when she saw Chen Er wanting to risk his life. Chen Er smiled and stroked Qin Luoshen's soft hair.

“My dear wife, you should just wait at home for my news. You know I’m not confident in anything, and I will absolutely not get involved in anything.”

Chen Er was confident this time because he had the Embroidered Uniform Guard backing him up.

If Zhang Xingchen hadn't told Chen Er that Zhao Tianming had a secret stash of money, Chen Er would never have chosen this critical moment to make a move against Zhao Tianming. Qin Luoshen blushed a little as she spoke to Chen Er.

Qin Luoshen couldn't help but spit at Chen Er: "Chen Er, what nonsense are you talking about? She's not your wife. Let me tell you, be careful and don't act impulsively." Qin Luoshen said with great concern.

Chen Er could also see that he and Qin Luoshen were a perfect match. The thought that Qin Luoshen was Qin Zhongting's biological daughter made Chen Er feel a little uncomfortable, since Qin Zhongting and Zhao Beixing were supposed to be very close.

Moreover, they all belong to the same camp; to put it bluntly, they are all in the same boat.

Now that Chen Er is going to deal with Zhao Tianming, it won't be long before he has to break ties with Zhao Beixing. At that time, it's not even necessary for Chen Er to think about which side Qin Zhongting will stand on; Qin Zhongting will definitely help Zhao Beixing unconditionally.

Therefore, Chen Er felt somewhat guilty towards Qin Luoshen in this regard.

"I'm so lucky, Qin Luoshen. I've never met such a beautiful girl like you."

"You don't look down on me at all. Although I'm just a minor official now, I have lofty ideals. If I ever do anything that unintentionally hurts you, I hope you won't blame me." Chen Er spoke very clearly, which made Qin Luoshen a little confused.

However, Qin Luoshen was also a smart woman. After thinking for a moment, she knew where the problem lay. Qin Luoshen smiled bitterly and then looked at Chen Er firmly.
