The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 344 After Deliberation

But the boy in front of him had such a serious expression, as if he had been thinking it over, which made Zhang Xingchen even more confused.

Chen Er downed a cup of Daughter's Red wine in one gulp before panting and saying, "Actually, I have some understanding of the situation in the imperial court."

"But I can't stand Wei Zhongxian's faction. They do nothing good except plunder the people and cause disasters for them. That's why I want to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Zhang Xingchen opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. After all, Zhang Xingchen had also realized that the relationship between Chen Er and Qin Luoshen was not simple.

Even if Chen Er looked down on Wei Zhongxian and was unwilling to join Wei Zhongxian's Eastern Depot, he should have joined Qin Luoshen's father's faction instead of his own Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Chen Er probably noticed the doubt on Zhang Xingchen's face: "Qin Zhongting's forces appear very righteous on the surface, but they have done a lot of wrong things in secret, especially on the way here."

“I saw many impoverished villagers digging for wild vegetables and tree roots to eat, which made me even more determined not to join Qin Zhongting’s faction.”

Chen Er's words left Zhang Xingchen even more dumbfounded. After a few seconds of silence, Zhang Xingchen suddenly laughed and patted Chen Er on the shoulder.

"Chen Er, what you just said was excellent. I felt that if our Embroidered Uniform Guard were to be added, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. And you are now a first-rank official."

"This official position carries real power. From now on, you will represent our Embroidered Uniform Guard. Now I will take you to our Embroidered Uniform Guard so you can get to know the people inside."

"Otherwise, we might end up not recognizing the Dragon King Temple after the flood." Chen Er hadn't expected Zhang Xingchen to be so straightforward.

However, this further solidified Chen Er's determination to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard. After all, there were undercurrents within the imperial court, and if he didn't join, he would be in trouble.

Even if he himself were a first-rank official, he wouldn't be able to fight against Wei Zhongxian's flood.

So after the two of them finished eating, they headed towards the direction of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. They learned from Zhang Xingchen that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had three leaders.

Besides Zhang Xingchen, there was a military officer named Wang Xiaohai, and another named Wang Tianlong.

Suddenly, a man dressed in armor, who looked like a great general, looked at Chen Er with a puzzled expression: "Brother, isn't this Chen Er?"

"You really gave us a good scolding today. Your words made Wei Zhongxian blush with embarrassment. I couldn't help but cheer for you in my heart."

Chen Er, the man named Wang Xiaohai, was somewhat helpless. However, before Chen Er could explain anything, Zhang Xingchen, who was standing next to him, chimed in with a comment.

"Yes, Brother Chen Er came to us this time because he wants to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard. This is a good thing."

"Once Chen Er joins our Embroidered Uniform Guard, we can fight against Wei Zhongxian, that stinking dog, and then we'll see how that guy dares to swagger around with us."

Upon hearing Zhang Xingchen's words, Wang Xiaohai was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and reached out his large hand to Chen Er.

"Brother Chen Er, on behalf of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I welcome you to join us. From now on, you are a member of our Embroidered Uniform Guard. No, you should be on equal footing with us. You will be in charge of tens of thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards. What do you think?"

Chen Er hadn't expected Wang Xiaohai to be so accommodating; Chen Er had originally thought that joining the Embroidered Uniform Guard meant starting from scratch.

Unexpectedly, these people made him stand on equal footing with them, meaning that Chen Er had now joined the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

That is, the leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Liao Liao. Just as Chen Er was about to agree, a cold laugh suddenly came from behind him.

"We cannot let Chen Er join our Embroidered Uniform Guard. This is a critical moment, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

The group of people turned their heads in confusion to look at the person who was speaking. Chen Er's expression was not very good, after all, this person's words were a bit barbed.

Chen Er, who had come specifically to see who this person was, saw a handsome man with long hair slowly walking over.

The man was dressed in a long robe and held a fan in his hand, giving him an air of otherworldly elegance.

But this kind-looking person actually said such things just now, which made Chen Er very unhappy.

"Wang Tianlong, what exactly do you mean? Chen Er joined our Embroidered Uniform Guard to deal with Wei Zhongxian, so why are you trying to stop him?"

"Quickly apologize to Chen Er." Before Chen Er could say anything, the hot-tempered Wang Xiaohai, who was standing to the side, interrupted.

He tried to speak up for Chen Er, but Wang Tianlong rolled his eyes at him: "I said no, and that means no. Have you forgotten that Wei Zhongxian has sent a lot of people to try to integrate us into the organization in order to control all our information? So I don't allow strangers to join."

"What's wrong with you? Did you take some medicine today? I was the one who introduced Chen Er, and Chen Er didn't join Wei Zhongxian's Eastern Depot."

"They haven't joined Qin Zhongting's forces, but instead have set their sights on our Embroidered Uniform Guard. Isn't that giving us plenty of face? Why are you still pressing us so aggressively? Could it be that you have other plans?"

Zhang Xingchen also looked at Wang Tianlong with dissatisfaction, because Wang Tianlong, to put it bluntly, was a warrior in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

“He has always been devising ideas for the Embroidered Uniform Guard to deal with Wei Zhongxian, so Wang Tianlong still holds considerable weight within the Embroidered Uniform Guard,” Wang Tianlong said thoughtfully, glancing at Zhang Xingchen.

“Brother Chen Er, I have a few questions for you. Why did you insist on joining our forces, the smallest of the Embroidered Uniform Guards? And you should know about Wei Zhongxian, with such a huge force. Joining any other force would be better than joining us. I don’t understand this.”

Zhang Xingchen and Wang Xiaohai looked at Chen Er with puzzled expressions after hearing Wang Tianlong's words, but they both understood.

This must be Wang Tianlong deliberately causing trouble for Chen Er. However, there is one thing they can't understand: why didn't Chen Er join Wei Zhongxian's Eastern Depot or Qin Zhongting's faction, but instead set his sights on the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

Wang Tianlong's question was so tricky that Chen Er immediately laughed and looked at Wang Tianlong helplessly.

"If I said I had a good impression of your Embroidered Uniform Guard, what would you say? Besides, the reason I joined your forces is because you have the guts to stand up to Wei Zhongxian. As for Qin Zhongting's forces, although they wave the banner of justice, frankly speaking, sometimes they are just like wolves in sheep's clothing, always vying for the lead."
